Chapter 3: Floods of Tears

“Oh, for god’s sake! You sure took your time undoing the spell!!!”

“Akira, where are you going? I’ll come too—”

“Don’t follow me!”

The ice surrounding Tenma shrunk after the fiend reversed his Cryonic Prison spell. She collapsed to her knees, finally free... But she then quickly rose to her feet and ran off. While the fiend tried to follow her, she shook him off, and he returned looking sullen.

My battle with the fiend was finally over. The result was draw and an oddly painful one at that. I’d convinced the fiend to release Tenma from her ice prison, and Kuga wasn’t dead. Everything was fine... Okay, no, it wasn’t. I was pissed.

“What’s going on, Souta Narumi?” asked Kuga. “What happened while I passed out?”

“It’s all his fault,” I replied.

“No, it’s your fault for being so gullible, dumbass,” the fiend shot back while jumping around energetically.

Kuga had woken up to find the chapel in ruins, so it was only natural that she’d wonder what had happened.

But the fiend was a player, meaning I had to figure out what he knew and compare our thoughts. That said, his attitude was changing my mind on that. Plus, I was hungry. I’d overexerted myself in the last fight, which made my body shrink. My muscles twitched. I’d depleted all my energy reserves and had to stock up on calories, but that could wait until later.

“So, on that note, sorry about what I did, Kuga,” said the fiend, approaching Kuga to seem friendly. “I just wanted to wind up this dummy. Anyway, I’m called Arthur, and I hope we can be friends—”

He really goes from one extreme to another, doesn’t he? And he doesn’t see why that makes him look creepy. “Sorry, Kuga. I need to have a word with this guy,” I said.

“Uh, I don’t think there’s anything I need to talk with you about, Piggy.”

Arthur wasn’t the name of this fiend but rather the name of the player behind the fiend.

Sounds like he thinks he’s still playing DEC. “Listen, it’s in your interest to hear this, so come with me,” I said.

I ordered the sullen fiend to follow me to a corner of the room. Even if I held out little hope of a mediation when he first showed up, I remembered what he’d been like in DEC. That showed he might listen to what I had to say. With that in mind, I tried to convince him of my viewpoint.

“Just so you know, this world might look exactly like DEC, but it’s a world of its own. A dangerous and deadly world.”

“Huh?” blurted Arthur, looking at me like I was an idiot.. “So it’s not just a game? I agree. The graphics are way better than those of a game, and it feels truly gruesome when you kill monsters. But this world is identical to DEC!”

Arthur looked around and argued that every location here, including all the monsters and the skills, was the same as in DEC. The gameplay and setting did match up to the game, but this was an entirely different world.
