In my ears, there was such silence.

Arrow looked up at the tree-made figure in front of him, at its long hair that seemed to be woven from willow branches.

Judging from the appearance, figure, height, and hairstyle, Arrow can tell what this thing is.

"Yes...... Me? Haha, it's me. ”

Looking at the female tree man in front of him, Airo couldn't help but take a deep breath. He straightened up, took the hat off his head, and shook it so that the blonde hair fell out.

After a slight pause, the girl looked at the tree girl in front of her, thought about it, and said, "Since this situation will occur on my side, then it must be similar to the cream side, right?" Or rather...... He's already fighting on his side, right? Fighting with a complete self...... It's a taste that makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. ”

The tree girl in front of her also seemed to have a slight reaction. It took a step, gradually walking towards Arrow.

However, it is not fast, and it is no different from the speed at which Ariel walks on a regular basis.

Ariel turned her head and glanced at the fog around her. Although you can still see the appearance of those forests, if you really go into the forest, it may not be convenient to deal with it, right?

And now that he is in such a bad situation, if the other party really wants to kill him, how can he tolerate himself to escape easily?

Thinking about it like this, she simply didn't run away. Clenched his fists directly and stepped forward to meet the tree girl in front of him.

The two sides approached quickly, and at the moment when the tree girl stood in front of Arrow, the two sides could touch each other as long as they raised their hands!

Tree Girl ...... But it stopped.

The face carved out of wood looked at Arrow silently, and there was no movement from top to bottom.

This scene surprised Ariel, who had planned to start a "fight" like a dying struggle.

But now that the Treant Girl has stopped, Ariel can't do anything more.

She withdrew her fist and began to circle the tree-man girl, looking at it. But no matter how she turned around, the tree girl still kept facing herself head-on, as if she had some kind of attachment.

Ariel thought for a moment, raised her hand, and lightly touched the face of the tree girl.

The Treant Maiden didn't react, its hands were hanging down, and it didn't seem to want to resist.

Since there was no reaction after touching it, Ariel was also slightly relieved. She began to carefully touch the face of the Treant Girl, looking at the face that seemed to have been carved out of nowhere...... Seriously, if it weren't for the obvious texture of the trees, Ariel would have felt like she was looking in a mirror.

Seeing her face and her figure perfectly copied, Ariel felt a little uncomfortable.

She snorted, her fingers groping around the face, and said, "What are you trying to do by becoming me?" It's really terrible, wouldn't I be in trouble if you ran out like this and were seen by other people? Hey, what the hell are you? What exactly is this place? Why did you catch me and Cream here alone? ”

The Treant Maiden still didn't react, just stood there dumbfounded, staring at Ariel.

Since she never spoke, and had no way to answer any questions, Ariel had to think for herself what had happened.

First of all! What does the appearance of this tree girl mean?

Well...... If you think about it in the simplest logic, this is a kind of copying, right? Replica the shadow of the man dragged into this rotten forest, right?

But what is the purpose of copying a shadow?

At this point, Ariel suddenly felt as if she understood something.

She tied her hair back up, put on her hat, and made herself the same ordinary young man Arrow again.

"Since there is such a replicant on my side, then it is conceivable that there should also be a replicant on Cream's side, right?"

"What would happen if our assassin were to face a replicant of his own? Well...... Come to think of it, you were the tree man who took the initiative to start walking towards me, right? Then the same should be true for the cream side. ”

"If the replicant on Cream's side really copied Cream perfectly, then there must be a fight between the two sides, right? Hmmm, this kind of thinking is really easy to understand. After all, the most difficult thing for people to overcome is themselves~~! Aren't there many such scenes in all kinds of places? While experiencing a terrible environment, suddenly a replicant of his own appears and asks the protagonist to defeat this replicant of his own. And in general, the replicants will perfectly replicate the subject's combat ability and fighting style. Because the enemy is himself.,So the hero often goes through a hard battle! ”

The corners of Arrow's mouth cracked, and he raised his hand and put it on the shoulder of the tree girl very simply, and said with a smile: "In a normal plot, those protagonists will win by surpassing themselves, right?" But on my side, haha, the question is more funny. ”

"Hey, girl, it's a pity that I'm a scum with no combat power at all!"

"It's because I don't have the ability to fight, I don't have a lot of strength, I don't run fast, and my magic power is completely insulated, so I'm a weak chicken."

"In that case, it's understandable why you appeared in front of me and didn't do anything at all, just looking at me. Because you copied a weak chicken like me, and a weak chicken like me has no combat ability at all! So you really can't do anything but look at me! Hahahaha! ”

Arrow looked up to the sky and laughed, but with a smile and a smile, he suddenly felt a little sad...... What is the feeling of being poked in the heart and lungs all of a sudden?

Forget it, don't do it.

Arrow let go of the arm that was on the shoulder of the Treant Girl, stretched out his fingers, tapped lightly on its chest, and said with a smile, "So how should we two ladies fight next?" Do you pull each other's hair or pinch someone? Well, judging from the fact that you don't want to move at all, the behind-the-scenes character who made you probably thinks I can't even do things like pulling my hair and pinching people! Ha ha! ”

As he spoke, Arrow felt even more pitiful......

In the eyes of this mastermind, how weak is he?! I'm so weak that I'm suddenly dragged into this forest, and I'm really sorry that your old man has been such a vivid tree man!

Don't say it, Iero wants to hug himself and cry.

After feeling sorry for himself for a moment, Arrow adjusted his mood, looked at the tree girl again, and said, "Then, first of all, you can make this judgment first." You're a copy of me, and you're probably only copied by my fighting abilities. If you want to talk about my fighting ability...... In the words of Napa's cat, it's my mouth. I am very good at fooling people, and I am very good at using words to achieve my own goals. Unfortunately, you're just a tree man and can't speak, so you're just scrapping your biggest weapon. So in this game, I won. ”

With that, Arrow circled around the treeman. It's a pity that this tree girl still turned her head to stare at herself.

"And then, since you don't attack me at all, you prove something else. It's just that catching me and Cream and making this replicant is a completely 'automatic' act. ”

"Because it's automatic, this explains why you don't just hit me with a fist when you have a tree body that's stronger than my human flesh and blood. Because you're just acting according to some kind of magic that's set automatically, your master doesn't specifically manipulate you and control your actions. ”

"That means the master behind you isn't there right now, or he's not actively spying on me. In that case, I can get out of this damn place by just finding a weak point in your automaton. But here's the question, how do I get out? ”

Arrow pinched his chin and leaned closer to the Treantgirl's face to take a closer look. After a moment's thought, he tentatively clenched his fist tentatively and slowly moved it towards the tree-man girl's face.

The fist hit, but it didn't cause much reaction. There is no such thing as "defeat your own replicant and you can pass the level".

To be honest, Arrow didn't dare to really hit it with all his might. After all, if his punch stimulates the desire of this tree girl to attack, it will be troublesome.

Besides, it really hurts to punch this bark with a fist......

After thinking about it, Arrow rubbed his hands, simply turned around, and walked towards the dense fog forest behind him.

As soon as he took a step, the tree girl immediately followed behind.

But since the other party won't take the initiative to attack him, Arrow doesn't need to pay attention to it anymore. He observed the direction in which the Treant Girl had appeared at the beginning, and after thinking about it, he simply walked in that direction.

Soon, the decaying forest that had just loomed in the thick fog appeared in front of Arrow's eyes. He lowered his head and glanced at the muddy ground in front of the forest.
