I was so surprised by the appearance of Iris-san, who should have already been deceased, that I didn't let her speak.
　Iris-san doesn't seem to be bothered by it, and she looks at me with a light smile on her face.

(Can you hear me?)

　Huh?　What is this?　I can hear a voice in my head, like I just talked to White, is it Iris' voice?

(It's a form of magic called telekinesis. I'm sure you're not going to be able to answer me, but I'll give you a brief explanation. I'm sure you won't be able to respond, but I'd like to give you a brief explanation.

　Apparently, unlike White, Iris-san can't read my mind. So, since I haven't mastered the magic of telekinesis, this conversation is going to be a one-way street.
　I'm not concerned about that, but I think the explanation should be about Iris-san.

(You'd be surprised at my appearance, since you haven't been briefed by him.　(First of all, I apologize on behalf of that idiot for that, sorry)

　..........although his tone is arrogant, unlike Alice, I get the impression that he's a very polite person, or a good human being. Especially when it comes to sudden situations like this, he explains things well.....

(I'm sure you've heard this to some extent, but I'm an existence that should be described as a dead person. However, since I am here in front of you, I have not completely disappeared. That's right, as far as the present me is concerned, I'm a kind of 'spirit'...)

　Hmmm. Doesn't it feel like he's come back to life this way?　As I recall, according to Alice's story, Iris-san said that she had her mind inhabited the mind-object and lived in Alice's mind all along.......

Well, to make a long story short, what that guy said earlier about the 'experiment' is the materialization of me.

　Hmm, so the reason why you went to the trouble of creating this "perfect altered Alice" by dismantling various altered bodies is so that you could materialize Iris-san.
　The experiment was a success, and that's how Iris was able to materialize, I guess.

　I don't know the details of the theory, but at least I understand why Iris-san is here.

(I know I'm rushing through the explanation, but I'll admit that you can understand a bit about me. ) Secondly, as to why I have come here on your behalf, I have asked Alice to do this for me.

　Apparently, Mr. Illis will explain to you regarding other questions, and he continues to speak.

(I owe you a debt of gratitude for saving my best friend. I've asked Alice to give you a chance to return it, even if only a little, and I've decided to intervene on this very occasion. Again, I apologize for surprising you. I just hope you understand that I am on your side.

　Yes, he's still a very well rounded adult. Really, he's very different from Alice, he's very different from that big idiot who didn't explain anything important to me.

　Iris-san finished her explanation to a certain extent, and after confirming that I nodded, she turned to Agni-san and opened her mouth.


No, that won't be necessary.
"Oh...

　Agni shook her head lightly at Iris-san, who was about to touch the magic tool for measurement.

''I can tell from the overflowing magic power that you're powerful. I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal more than you need to know. But if you're saying, 'I really want a handicap,' then I'll think about it?
"A handicap is a disadvantage that the strong bear against the weak. I've never met you before. I have not yet graded you and I have not yet met. It's not a matter of deciding who bears a disadvantage at this stage, is it?
May I take this as confidence?
'I'd rather ask you. Do you think you're going to challenge me without confidence?

　There seemed to be a beehive of sparks between Mr. Agni and Ms. Iris. They exchanged words with a quiet fighting spirit, but there was no acrimonious atmosphere there.
　Is it a feeling that they are provoking each other, recognizing each other as strong men?

I see...strong. Miyama-sama.
'What?　Yes.
May I ask to move to the audience?　It seems that they don't have the time to go easy on you, so there is a possibility that you will be harmed. Please go to the spectator's room, where Kaiou-sama has placed a defensive ward on the seats.
Okay, I understand.

　Expecting a fierce fight, Agni tells me to take shelter in the audience. Not wanting to disobey her words, I nod honestly and try to start moving.
　Then, Iris-san looks at me and smiles kindly at me.

''Don't worry, I'll show you victory without a problem.
"Declaring victory before we start you'd better not do that. You'll only embarrass yourself when you lose, okay?
"I have no intention of losing, but yes, I apologize in advance. I've not been in a battle for a long time, so I'm in danger of making a mistake in my strength. I'm sorry, but you will have to defend yourself to the death.
I appreciate your opinion but in this case, yes, I'll just say 'Don't underestimate me'.

　The two fighters clash with each other with a sharp fighting spirit, as if the air itself has turned into a blade. Seriously, I have a feeling that it's going to be an amazing battle.

''Uh.......good luck. Iris-san!
Yeah, I'll take that as a yes. I'll give you victory.

　After giving a firm word of support to Iris-san, I headed to the audience with Lilia-san and the others.

　Dear Mom and Dad--I heard some information about the situation from Iris-san, who appeared as a substitute, and once again the fight between Iris-san and Agni-san was going to begin. Watching both of them sparking before the start - I had a feeling it was going to be a great battle.
