Chapter 1211: Unwanted Drama
?
From what I''ve gathered so far, the people that we rece 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 recing, and also Jonathan is recing someone else too.
However, somehow, these people, all of them disappeared. They aren''t here. I don''t know if the trial itself made us rece them, and these people were simply... taken somewhere elseN?v(el)B\\jnn
or.
Something 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 reced my character, that means that there were many that took upon this character.
The same goes with Jonathan, Lucifer and Nyx, and so on...
Jonathan and I are indeed in a rtionship, but within the context of this story, are we? The characters we rece... is it really good to talk in their behalf?
If I tell this girl that we are indeed in a rtionship, 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 me that much, I think she''s still... a good girl, deep down.
What do I do?
"Maria?" Sofia asked me, looking worried.
I just want to tell her that "yes" so she stops flirting with him.
But at the same time, maybe the original character Jonathan is recing 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 rtionship, I wanted to tell you but..."
Sofia''s breath became heavier as she nced at me with disbelief, covering her face.
"I''m his... girlfriend."
"No..."
Sofia sighed, looking down.
"But that''s... Y-You promised me that you wouldn''t... that you wouldn''t...!"
Her prideful face twisted, frustration, sadness, fear...
The mix of emotions of someone 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 red at me while furrowing her eyes.
"How could you do this to me... I thought we were... we were friends! You said... Sniff, you
said... that you wouldn''t take him away from me!"
"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 me, what do you want me 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 moment I wanted to follow her but...
I hesitated.
What can I do in this situation anyways?
I''ve met her for a single day, I don''t feel guilty either.
But... it makes me sad; how many times has this girl gone through this?
What... what am I supposed to do?
[Your Rtionship with Story Character: [Sofia] has worsened.]
[If your Rtionship continues to worsen, you may permanently lose her Friendship and she might be an Enemy instead.]
And then an annoying message on pink color appeared in front of me.
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 handsome as Jonathan, well, not
so much but he''s simr 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 merged with my shadows, and using the Shadow Realm Fragments I left on all my family, I used Shadow Teleportation to teleport them directly inside my Shadow Realm.
Also the Shadow Realm Fragment remains there, so I can actually send them back where they
came from pretty easily.
Very convenient, right?
"Ah! Finally! We can talk normally!" Partner celebrated.
"Mama! Hug!" Nyx ran to my side, hugging me 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 me."
"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 exin it to everyone, so tomorrow you can help me out at convincing Sofia."
I exined to everyone what happened while we had a second dinner with the meat of monsters I brought, cooking a lot of delicious meals for everyone just for the sake of it.
A family time like this was what I needed after pretending to be a school student in an academy about love and drama... and nightmares.
I prepared arge BBQ, made some veggies, rice, noodles, and prepared some other things, bringing a whole kitchen in my inventory for convenience.
As we enjoyed the enormous meals 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 something."
"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 something from a certain someone, 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 members.
"A floating head!" Myconidasughed, pointing at the thing.
"Oi! You bastard! Let me go already!"
