Chapter 408: 408

Surprised by the appearance of Iris-san, who should have been deceased, I was left speechless .

Iris-san didn’t seem to mind though, as she looked at me with a slight smile on her lips .

(Can you hear me?)

Eh? What’s this? A voice echoed in my head just like when I was talking to Shiro-san, was this Iris-san’s voice?

(It’s a kind of magic called Telepathy . There are some topics which are a little troublesome for other people to hear about . You may not be able to reply to me, but I will just give you a brief explanation . )

It seems that, unlike Shiro-san, Iris-san can’t read my mind . So, since I haven’t mastered Telepathy magic, this would just be a one-way conversation .

I don’t really mind about that, but talking about the explanation…… I guess Iris-san was talking about herself huh?

(You must have been surprised that I suddenly appeared without any explanation from her, right? First of all, I’d like to apologize on behalf of that idiot . I’m sorry . )

……Her tone sounds haughty, but unlike Alice, she is extremely courteous or rather, she has the image of someone with good character . She looked particularly like someone who would give me a good explanation for this kind of unexpected situation……

(As you’ve probably heard to some extent, I’m someone that should have been dead already . Though I said that, the fact that I appeared in front of you like this is proof that I have not completely disappeared . Well, as for the current me, I guess you could say that “I’m some kind of a soul”……)

Hmmm . The way she phrased it, it doesn’t really sound like she came back to life huh? As I recall, Alice told me that Iris-san had put her spirit into her Heart Tool and that she had been living inside Alice’s heart for a long time……

(It’s closer to say that my body is made up of magic power…… With the heart tool as a core, I manifested in Alici…… Alice’s “clone as the vessel” . Well, it might still be early to say this, but the “experiment” that idiot mentioned earlier was about my manifestation . )

Hmmm . So the reason why she went through the trouble of creating that Perfect Clone Alice, by deactivating several of her clones here and there, was to use it as a vessel to materialize Iris-san .

Then again, the experiment seemed to have been a success and Iris-san was able to materialize .

I don’t know much about the details, but I guess I could understand now why Iris-san was here now .

(I might be rushing my explanation, but I hope you could understand a little about me . Next, as to why I am here, acting as your proxy…… I asked Alice to let me do this . )

It seems that Iris-san will be explaining about my other doubts as well as she continued .

(I owe you a debt of gratitude for saving my best friend . I’ve asked Alice several times for an opportunity for me to repay this favor…… and I’ve decided to take this opportunity to do just that . Again, I apologize for startling you . I hope you understand that I am on your side . )

Unnn, it really feels like she’s an adult who has experienced a lot . She’s really different from that big idiot, Alice, who didn’t explain anything important to me .

After Iris-san finished explaining the rest of the things and confirming that I understood, she turned to Agni-san and spoke .

[Sorry to keep you waiting…… Now then, should I use that crystal ball to measure my power level?]

[No, that won’t be necessary . ]

[Houu……]

When Iris-san tried to touch the magic tool for measurement, Agni-san lightly shook her head .

[I can tell that you are powerful by your overflowing magic power . The magic tool won’t be able to measure those who possess too much magic power…… I think you won’t need any handicap . However, “if you really want a handicap”, I’m also fine with that . ]

[……A handicap is something a strong person bears when fighting the weak . This is the first time we’ve met . Thus, we still haven’t judged who is more powerful than the other . At this point, it would be irrelevant to determine which of us who has to give the handicap, wouldn’t it?]

[……Can I take that as a sign of your confidence?]

[I should be the one asking that instead . If I don’t hold any confidence, do you think I would challenge you?]

I kinda felt like sparks were flying between Agni-san and Iris-san . They were exchanging words that quietly contained their fighting spirit, but I couldn’t feel any dangerous atmosphere between them .

They both perceive each other as strong, but doesn’t it feel like they’re provoking each other?

[I see…… You’re strong . Miyama-sama . ]

[Eh? Yes . ]

[May I ask you to move to the audience area? It seems like I won’t be able to take it easy, so there’s a possibility that you will be injured . Please move to the spectator seats, where the World King-sama has placed a protective ward . ]

[I- I understand . ]

Anticipating a fierce battle, Agni-san asked me to take refuge in the audience area . Not wanting to go against her words, I obediently nodded and started moving away .

Thereupon, Iris-san looked at me and gently smiled .

[Don’t worry, I’ll bring you victory without any problems . ]

[Declaring your victory even before the battle starts huh…… That’s a bad idea for you . You’ll just embarrass yourself when you lose, you know?]

[I don’t intend to lose but…… Well, let me apologize first . It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a battle, so I’m afraid I may make a mistake in the amount of force I use . My apologies, but you’ll have to defend yourself to the death . ]

[Well, thank you for your advice…… However, in this place…… . I’ll make sure you’ll regret “underestimating” me . ]

The two warriors’ sharp fighting spirit clashed with each other, as if the air itself had turned into a blade . I- I have a feeling this is going to be a great fight .

[E- Errr…… Good luck, Iris-san!]

[Umu, your support is gratifying . I’ll definitely offer this victory to you . ]

After conveying my words of support to Iris-san, I headed for the spectator seats with Lilia-san and the others .

Dear Mom, Dad————– After hearing about the situation to some extent from Iris-san, who appeared as my proxy, the battle between Iris-san and Agni-san is about to begin . Looking at the sparks flying between the two even before the battle starts————- I have a feeling this is going to be a great fight .

? ? ? : [Now then, here’s a question . What is the special move of Iris, m…… Alice-chan’s best friend? It has only appeared only once in the novel up to now . This is a Lv2 question on Alice-chan fanclub test, so it’s a bit harder, but Alice-chan’s fans should be able to figure it out!]
