Please, The Other Me! (Part 2) (2)
Young girl, “…”
Young girl, “…”
“Um… did I scare you? I’m sorry, I… I didn’t do it on purpose!” Seeing that she couldn’t hear “herself” reply, Vivian immediately began to apologize in a panic, thinking that she had been too complacent.
This time, the young girl was really provoked.
“Heh… heh heh.” A stiff laughter that seemed to have been forced out of her throat resounded in the dark space.
“Scared by you? How is that possible?!”
The young girl finally stopped pretending to be dead. She very strongly rebutted her other self.
Yes, very strongly.
If one did not look at the girl who was about to dig out a castle with the nervous wriggling of her toes into the ground, did not look at her hands that were about to crush the armrests of the chair, and did not listen to the thumping of her chest. It was as if there were countless fireballs exploding in her heart.
“Phew, that’s… that’s good! I heard you scolding me before. I… I thought you hated me…”
“What!?” The young girl couldn’t help but exclaim.
“You mean before…?”
“When… did you start listening to me talk here?!”
The girl stood up again.
“Come to think of it, I think it was from… that sentence,”How silly!”.” The Vivian in the real world thought for a moment before replying seriously.
At the same time, she was also sent flying by the furious Bella’s whip.
“I know. You hate me and look down on me…” The Vivian in the real world staggered to her feet.
“I also know that I’m weak and always lacking confidence. Also, I always foolishly want to help others when I clearly don’t have the ability to do so…”
The Vivian in the real world wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the players in the cage, who were turning into streaks of white light and disappearing.
“However, I also know that ever since that rainy night, there has been an even more powerful me that has always been by my side.”
“She’s tougher and smarter than I am.”
“There’s nothing difficult for her. She can deal with even the most powerful enemy, and can easily resolve even the most dangerous situation.”
“So…”
The Vivian in the real world began to chant magic.
“So, I forced myself into a dangerous situation cunningly. Because I knew she wouldn’t sit back and watch me. After all, this body is hers as much as it is mine.”
“I can’t sit back and watch the Fire God Sect hold their ritual. I don’t want the rampaging monsters to flatten our village.”
“So…”
“Please, the other me! Save everyone, save the village, save… the me in the real world.”
A silence blanketed the dark space.
The Vivian in the real world had almost completed the spell.
Her eyes dimmed as she thought she didn’t receive a response and her communication failed. Just then, the young girl’s voice sounded again.
“A sickle.”
“Wh-what?”
“Since you imitated that old woman’s magic, you can naturally gather the flames into a weapon, right?”
In the dark space, the girl sitting on the aristocratic chair crossed her legs again.
She yawned as though she was bored, and repeated herself to her other self in the real world,
“I want a sickle.”
“It would be better if it was bigger.” The young girl thought for a while and added.
“Sure… no problem!”
After agreeing in surprise, the Vivian in the real world used the [Growth] spell to create a fiery red scythe that was as tall as a human…
“Let me make it clear first, I’m not doing this because of your low-level flattery!”
“I’m just…”
“I’m just fulfilling a bet that I lost.”
It was a rare sight. The young girl had clearly said that she “lost” the bet, but the corners of her mouth were curled up crazily. It was as if although she had lost, she had not lost completely. She was extremely excited and happy.
“Eh? What bet…”
The Vivian in the real world was just about to ask a question when she found herself in this black space a second later.
And,
The one that was originally in the black space, the other her…
Clang!
Sparks flew!
Bishop Eugenia, also known as Witch Bella, brandished her flaming whip.
She didn’t want to give the little girl another chance to play any more tricks on her. The rapid fire whip sliced through the air with an ear-piercing sound. Like a roaring fire dragon, it whipped toward Vivian.
This whip was even more deadly than the previous two whips combined.
If she was really hit, she would be seriously crippled if she wasn’t killed.
In the entire Fire Codex City, it would be difficult to count the number of people that could block her whip with one palm… Forget it, probably only two palms.
But.
What had just happened just now?!
Bella felt a huge rebound from the fire whip, as if something had deflected it. She had not been prepared and it nearly knocked her off her feet.
To answer her question, it was the shadow of a fiery red scythe.
At some point, the flaming scythe summoned by [Growth] was held in the little girl’s left hand.
Bella felt that the girl’s aura had changed.
The Vivian from before gave Bella the impression that she looked soft on the outside but had a steely-hard interior. She had never confronted Bella head-on and there was not the slightest bit of malice or killing intent in her. She had always focused on unconfidently evading and defending herself.
The current Vivian seemed to be the complete opposite.
Madness radiated from her eyes, with an air of arrogance and a strong killing intent…
