"Body modification...that still sounds like fun."
Alicia thought about it, then replied.
"By the way, do you want to do an alteration to your body?"
"Me? No kidding."
I shook my head incessantly.
"Even though this world is a different world and it looks like we're just playing a game, it's still a very real world and I don't want to experience what it feels like to become a Frankenstein."
"Eh~ I thought you thought this world was your home."
"Why would you say that?"
"Because you look like you're enjoying the world."
"........"
Am I enjoying myself?
Indeed, I'm enjoying the world that can be resurrected and allow me to experience things that I could only experience in games before.
But....
The world always gives me a strange sense of unreality.
"I just can't argue with that if you say so, but it's not for Alicia, is it?"
I asked rhetorically.
"I well..."
The other shook his head.
"Honestly, I don't like this world."
"Why?"
"That's so fake."
Alicia said as she took out a knife and slashed at herself.
Instantly, blood was splattered on top of Alicia's fair arm.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!"
I even tried to stop her, but she wouldn't let me get close.
"Don't come any closer, I'm just demonstrating to show you how unreal the world really is. I guess you've been around this long enough to know not to take damage to your attacks, right?"
She said, holding her mangled arm up.
"Look at my strip of blood, it's not hurt, is it? That reflects directly on every part of me, which means..."
As she spoke the blood in her arm began to flow back quickly, back into the wound, and then it began to heal at a very unscientific rate!
This....
Although I knew I was ineffective against myself, I didn't try it with an attack that wasn't magic.
"See, that's the unreality of this world."
"True... but it also makes it easier for us to fight."
"Looks like you're still missing the point I'm trying to make..."
Alicia brushed the sword in her hand and pointed it at me.
"If you ever return to the old world, will you still be able to adapt to life in the real world?"
"Uh..."
"If you get really addicted, you'll regret it someday...but for now we do have to take advantage of these untruths down true. And don't get too emotionally invested in this world! You don't even know if this world exists or not, but doesn't it seem odd that you're too invested in the people of this world?"
"Is it weird?"
"Of course, you're excited like this when they just think of you as their fiancé, what's next? Do you think you really want to live normally in this world? It's simply not possible you understand?"
"........"
"Hey, that's all I'm going to say anyway, so you're on your own."
Alicia looked so helpless, as if she thought I was completely in this world already.
"Thanks for caring so much."
I said with a smile.
"I...I I don't care about you! I just think we're all from the same world to at least help each other out! It doesn't mean anything else!"
I touched her head.
"That's right, that's the Alicia I just met, the young girl who was full of pride from the start."
"I'm not arrogant!"
"Yes, yes, I know, it's just that it's weird to see you preaching to me with your childish face all serious. Hey hey, don't hit me! You don't have much attack power but it still hurts!"
A series of -200 damage came out of me, and I was busy begging for mercy as I drank the medicine.
"Knowing and still talking nonsense!"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, well, stop it my blood medicine costs money."
"Huh?"
"Well, let me ask you, aren't you glad to meet someone like that too? Closing yourself off too much will only make you more miserable, won't it?"
"I'm not closed..."
"Yes, yes, all in all, if we want to survive in this world more permanently, then we definitely need to have enough interactions with this world. It has nothing to do with whether or not we build relationships, but rather... we simply don't know when we'll be able to leave this world, so until we do, we'll just have to adapt to life here, won't we?"
"...Well, it's just right to think so."
"Well, more than that, there's still a day left before the finals, do you want to go investigate this strange plan?"
"Of course, or I'd be completely out of your league, let's go. By the way, where do we start the investigation?"
"...How do I know? Why do you think I'm asking you?"
