From what I've gathered so far, the people that we replace in this world, were indeed their own characters. This world... it ran before we were sent here. Therefore, there was once a person that I am replacing, and also Jonathan is replacing soone else too.
However, sohow, these people, all of them disappeared. They aren't here. I don't know if the trial itself made us replace them, and these people were simply... taken sowhere else
or.
Sothing else happened to them, did they die? A death that cannot be reversed even by the loop?
The Nightmare Demon said there were many faces that replaced my character, that ans that there were many that took upon this character.
The sa goes with Jonathan, Lucifer and Nyx, and so on...
Jonathan and I are indeed in a relationship, but within the context of this story, are we? The characters we replace... is it really good to talk in their behalf?
If I tell this girl that we are indeed in a relationship, Sofia might have her heart broken, but I can't also keep feeding her such cruel lies either.
Whatever response I can give to her, it'll be cruel, and it'll either feed her with lies or break her heart.
She's this character friend, and even if she's selfish and doesn't like that much, I think she's still... a good girl, deep down.
What do I do?
"Maria?" Sofia asked , looking worried.
I just want to tell her that "yes" so she stops flirting with him.
But at the sa ti, maybe the original character Jonathan is replacing did love her back.
I would be denying her the love of her life?
But that's not Jonathan so...
Yeah, I just can't do this.
There's a line I can't cross.
"Yes."
Her eyes widened, as she gave a step back.
"Jonathan and I are indeed in a relationship, I wanted to tell you but..."
Sofia's breath beca heavier as she glanced at with disbelief, covering her face.
"I'm his... girlfriend."
"No..."
Sofia sighed, looking down.
"But that's... Y-You promised that you wouldn't... that you wouldn't...!"
Her prideful face twisted, frustration, sadness, fear...
The mix of emotions of soone heart broken.
"I'm sorry... but our love is real and I can't deny it. Sofia, you're an amazing girl, I'm sure that-"
"S-Shut up!"
She started crying, as she glared at while furrowing her eyes.
"How could you do this to ... I thought we were... we were friends! You said... Sniff, you
said... that you wouldn't take him away from !"
"But Sofia, Jonathan is not yours, he's free to chose who he can love!"
"Yeah but you seduced him!"
"I-I didn't! He just likes , what do you want to do?!"
"You're... you're a terrible friend!"
Sofia continued crying, opening the door and running away.
"Sofia!"
I ran outside the door, seeing her run away.
For a mont I wanted to follow her but...
I hesitated.
What can I do in this situation anyways?
I've t her for a single day, I don't feel guilty either.
But... it makes sad; how many tis has this girl gone through this?
What... what am I supposed to do?
[Your Relationship with Story Character: [Sofia] has worsened.]
[If your Relationship continues to worsen, you may permanently lose her Friendship and she might beco an Enemy instead.]
And then an annoying ssage on pink color appeared in front of .
Dammit.
Really? Enemy? That's a bit too much.
Okay, I need to gather with my family anyways.
I'll try to talk her tomorrow about it.
Maybe we can convince her to like that other elf guy, he's as handso as Jonathan, well, not
so much but he's similar right?
Maybe he can be a good choice...
Oh! Or I could use that Cupid Arrow? Maybe that can fix that!
Or maybe not...
"Hah... Okay, let's go."
I quickly rged with my shadows, and using the Shadow Realm Fragnts I left on all my family, I used Shadow Teleportation to teleport them directly inside my Shadow Realm.
Also the Shadow Realm Fragnt remains there, so I can actually send them back where they
ca from pretty easily.
Very convenient, right?
"Ah! Finally! We can talk normally!" Partner celebrated.
"Mama! Hug!" Nyx ran to my side, hugging tightly.
"Nyx!" I received my daughter's hug happily.
"Huh? I was in the bathroom..." my brother was in the bathroom, hence the reason why he wasn't there in the battle. "Phew, thankfully I was already done... Maria please ask before
teleporting ."
"I'm so sorry Arthur!" I sighed.
"Also I heard that girl's scream from before, what the hell happened?" he wondered.
"A bit of school drama I don't really like..." I sighed. "I'll explain it to everyone, so tomorrow you can help out at convincing Sofia."
I explained to everyone what happened while we had a second dinner with the at of monsters I brought, cooking a lot of delicious als for everyone just for the sake of it.
A family ti like this was what I needed after pretending to be a school student in an academy about love and drama... and nightmares.
I prepared a large BBQ, made so veggies, rice, noodles, and prepared so other things, bringing a whole kitchen in my inventory for convenience.
As we enjoyed the enormous als and ate as much as we wanted without looking weird to the people of this world, we talked about what happened today, and I also told everyone what transpired with... Sofia.
"Oh my god, is she really like this?" sighed Jonathan. "What can I even do in this situation? This trial is... sure sothing."
"It's ridiculous!" said Partner. "Let's just wreck shit and get all the stuff done and then let's
get out of here!"
"Ah, well, I had thought about that, but this world..." I muttered. "I think its Cursed."
"Cursed?" Lucifer wondered. "There's no way an entire world can be Cursed... Right?"
"Um, well, after I discovered sothing from a certain soone, I've begun to find out a lot
of things about this little world," I said. "But how about you tell us more, Nightmare
Demon?"
I summoned a floating head, scaring a few of my family mbers.
"A floating head!" Myconidas laughed, pointing at the thing.
"Oi! You bastard! Let go already!"
