It was a sudden feeling of vertigo, as if the head had been punched so hard that the body lost its balance and fell to the ground that had become shaky.

Hiiragi also felt that her consciousness was gradually blurring, and the girl next to her, Lilith, was also in this situation and couldn't move.

Thinking back to what happened just now, the most suspicious thing is none other than Alice who poured coffee for two people, and there is no other possibility.

If it were the ability of other traversers, it would not have been possible to discover such an anomaly until now.

After all, the trap set by Hiiragi and the two autonomic weapons that Lilith placed outside have not monitored or touched the enemy.

Now that her eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, Hiiragi saw Alice run to the two of them and take the ring from her right hand.

It can be seen that the girl's purpose is very simple, that is, to charm the two people with medicine, so as to snatch the ring used to collect the 'star', and finally escape.

It can be seen that neither Hiiragi nor Lilith have fully gained Alice's trust and have not become true companions.

Originally, Hiiragi also thought that the relationship in the past few days could change Alice's mind, but he didn't expect that this girl who hated lies still didn't see the two of them as beings who could be entrusted with her back.

What should I say, Hiiragi doesn't hate Alice's way of doing this, and living in such a world, it's only natural that she would do this.

Hiiragi has no reason to deny other people's lifestyles, just as Hiiragi himself likes to deceive others by lying.

However, this is different now, in this infinite world, Hiiragi is also in order to survive, and it is impossible to let others deceive him and take away the possibility of his own existence.

So, when he saw that Alice was about to open the door and leave, Hiiragi also stood up abruptly and rushed towards Alice.

“————！！！！”

Seeing Hiiragi who was approaching her with her ability, Alice, who was surprised, used her ability.

Pure white and holy wings suddenly stretched out from behind her body, and Hiiragi's ability was wiped out at the same time, and her speed plummeted.

It's just that Alice's reaction is not the fastest, and Hiiragi is the one who has the advantage.

It took less than a second for Alice to get closer, and with his right hand, he grabbed Alice's shoulder and pushed her down against the wall.

"Yike!!!"

Alice let out a small exclamation because she had been hit and Hiiragi was treated roughly.

The white wings began to fall off and disappear, and finally returned to nothingness.

Seeing that the girl's ability disappeared, Hiiragi also pressed her left shoulder with her right hand and pushed her face closer.

Alice had a look of fear in her eyes, but she hadn't completely given up on her plans.

Hiding behind him, he holds a knife in his left hand, as long as he can kill Hiiragi when he is unprepared......

"Don't hide your weapon, I know you have a dagger, you snuck it back when you were at the mall yesterday."

"Why, why don't you have ......?"

Alice slipped and sat on the ground as if she had collapsed, and the dagger behind her back was also thrown by her side.

At the same time, Hiiragi, who let go of Alice's shoulder, also rubbed his head, feeling that it was a little tricky.

It's not a violent one, it's not a non-violent one, and I don't know how to make the girl in front of me believe in herself.

It's not realistic to kill it, because Hiiragi also needs Alice's strength, and the ability to erase other traversers is quite powerful for Hiiragi, especially with Lilith.

Although it is a wide erasure, the enemy does not know, and Hiiragi can fight separately from the two girls.

Squatting down in front of Alice, Hiiragi also took the ring from her hand first.

"Lilith and I pretended to drink coffee because of your suspicious actions, and the reason why you did this is probably because you were worried that we would leave you behind."

"I'm weak, I know, sooner or later, such a power will have no use."

"That's right, you're weak."

Hiiragi also said it directly.

His words made Alice raise her head, and her heterochromatic pupils showed helpless and sad eyes.

However, Hiiragi's purpose is not to make Alice hate him, he just wants Alice to trust him and Lilith.

"As you say, you're weak, because that power doesn't do much to yourself, [erasing the abilities of people other than yourself], it makes you seem insecure, doesn't it? But...... If you're weak, let us be your spear and shield. Neither I nor Lilith will ever abandon you. ”

"Anyone can say that to me, so it's hard to trust, if you want to kill me, do it now, I won't resist."

"Are you stupid?"

"Hmm!"

Hiiragi's right hand slammed Alice's head, and she frowned disapprovingly and covered the pain with her hand.

"I'm not going to kill you because you have a powerful ...... that I don't have So Alice, I'm going to be the 'savior', and if you want to betray me, just betray me, and I'll forgive you again and again, as our companion." ”

"Are you stupid, think of yourself as a hero?"

Alice made a spicy comment this time, but the expression on her face softened a lot.

"I'm going to betray you."

Alice didn't lie and said what she really said.

A girl who wants to live, a girl who hates deception, makes a straightforward statement.

"I wish you could betray me a little less, but I'm not afraid."

Hiiragi can also go back in time, so he can prevent himself from being betrayed by Alice again and again, and make him change his mind.

This is not a so-called alliance, and the relationship between the two people is definitely not so harmonious, but it also happens to reflect the reality in the infinite world.

Don't trust others, don't be kind to your enemies.

Regardless of whether Alice betrays herself again or not, Hiiragi needs her strength now.

"Miss Lilith, I ...... just now"

Looking at Lilith behind Hiiragi, Alice opened her mouth to apologize, but her words were quickly interrupted by Lilith

“…… I hate you...... However, you can't deny what you're doing, if you want to live...... Please believe me and Mr. Nangong...... Because yes, companion ......"

After saying that, Lilith pulled out the self-discipline dagger floating on the side and motioned for the two of them to come over.

When I came to the window, I opened the curtains a little and looked at the woods below, and I could see some walking figures, which soon disappeared into the grass.

"Someone is coming......"

Lilith said. (To be continued.) )
