I look back in surprise, but at the same time my back is cut.Although the wound is shallow, it can cause pain like burning your whole body.

Gaha

I crouch. Something runs out of your throat.

It's vomiting blood.

My body is wrapped in fear with a warm feeling and a unique smell that spreads over my mouth.

"You're a cracker. [M]You think you can win with that?What's the matter, you surrender already?

Uhir stood beside me, crouching down.

I don't know what happened.

I look up as I shed a little blood from my mouth.

The body of the whale was illuminated by the sunlight from behind and turned into a black shadow.

"..."

But I'm not going to lose here.

If you lose here, you won't be able to go to the finals, and you'll lose.

You can't lose all the fights until the final.

I'm scared I don't know what happened, but let's do our best.

I chew my lips.

"Now you're going to tell me you're not surrendering.

Uhir sticks a dagger out of my nose.

I feel like I've been read the action, and I look at it in horror.

"No, how do you know?

"I know what you do in two seconds. I see the world in two seconds."



Are you an enemy of the foreseeable future!?This is my first time.It may be tough.

I move back from the knife to avoid my body, but Uhir kicks my moving leg from the side.

"Uhah!?

I'm going to lose my balance and fall down again.

Does this mean that you can read behavior?Now, how about using magic?

I try to move my body quickly and far in flotation, but before that, Uhir straddles my body and puts a dagger on my throat.

Hih...

I feel a tingling sensation of a blade in my throat.

Whether you move your body or use magic, you won't be able to take time from your opponent.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Alisa!!

May stood up from the audience seat without thinking.The radica next door is also nailed to a glowing screen with a dagger in my throat.

The audience around me will stop.Everyone expected me to win.But shortly after the opening, Uhir won't give me any clearance, won't give me time, and tries to fold.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Mao-chan, who just left the storage room, listens to the actual situation and peeks into the ground through the tunnel at the exit.

There was just me and Uhir on the horseback, as if the facts were not a lie.

"Alisa..."

Mao-chan doesn't think about it, but she speaks my name.

"Do you know him?

When Sophie asks from behind, Ma-chan responds with a deceptive response.

"No, my concubine's servant.I can't believe I lost in that way. "

Promise me if I don't make it to the finals.

I can definitely go to the finals, I have that much power, and if I succeed, I may be stronger than Harmen and Oichan, who are said to be the strongest in the Kingdom.

For Mao-chan, I thought this promise was not made.I wanted you to be motivated not to run away from the tournament on my way, and that was the best thing I could think of.Rather, if Mao-chan can't see me in the finals, I thought that's the only reason.

However, there was an "unfortunate promise", just in case.

Mao-chan keeps an eye on the ground from the exit tunnel.

"Excuse me, can you go back to the waiting room?

There is a voice of staff from behind.

Mao-chan leans back to the ground and walks into the waiting room lying face to face, tearing her teeth to regret having broken the promise.

As she watched, Sophie realized something, but she didn't say anything and walked quietly after Ma-chan.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Ask again. Do you surrender?If you don't, I'll kill you. "

Uhir can foresee the world in two seconds.You can act accordingly.

It was a brilliant first move, and two seconds later, I predicted that I would close the line, and I just sabotaged it.After that, I anticipated what kind of magic I was going to use.

If I can't use magic, I'm just a person with strong magic in line.Uhir sealed up my magic and turned it into a mere person.

I shake my shoulders.

Unstoppable fear, helplessness that can't do anything, attacks me.

Tears flow from the eyes.

If you surrender, answer within ten seconds.

If you surrender here, I'm a mess.

I definitely don't want to surrender.

But I can't think of a way to get it back from here.

I wish someone had attacked me from behind.

Someone else...

There you are.

"Five seconds left. 4,3,2"?

Whatever happened, Uhir dodges his torso.At the same time, a magical moon-shaped blade of light passes through the back of the whale at an incredible speed.

Uhir rounds his eyes as he watches his surroundings.

As I predicted, the ground was full of me, me, me.

There are a lot of me standing.It's as if you were a double.

This is certainly foreseeable, but what is happening is beyond Uhir's understanding.

There is indeed the magic of the double.The Doppelganger is less capable than I am, but it can attack and use magic.However, to do that, I need to use my magic once I have Uhir in custody.

Where am I in front of me when I can't use magic, and where are the signs of my use of such magic?

There was another mystery for Uhir.

With the magic of the double, it should appear that the other body is coming out of my body.In other words, the double should appear next to me.Doppelgangers have to start acting from there.

But that's not even true.Two seconds before my counterparts showed up, they suddenly recognized me in large numbers.I suddenly appeared from nowhere.

◆ ◆ ◆

The venue stood still.

While pointing to the ground filled with me, May rushed to ask Radica.

"Radica, what is this!?

"I don't even know."

That's what Radica said, putting a green chameleon on the back of her hand sitting on her shoulder.

What the hell happened!?

The confusing reality streams, and Mao-chan stood up unexpectedly sitting on the bench in the waiting room.

Hagis stopped walking in the hallway to go to the audience seat.Hagis stopped for a moment and said, "Get out of the way!"Running toward the audience seat, screaming.

Eventually, Hagis leaves the audience seat through the tunnel and recognizes an abnormal condition.

"Hey, what is this?"

◆ ◆ ◆

"Chi!

The whale slaps his tongue.

Doppelganger has a body.

I suspect that this is really the counterpart I know, but there is a dagger on the throat of the main body, and I hold the hand of life and death.

Either way, if they attack, they won't surrender.Uhir does not hesitate to pierce my throat with his dagger.

Blood splash rises from the throat.

Ha, ha...

I vomited blood again and breathed on the spot.

Nanna...



Uhir knew that I would react two seconds ago, but everything is beyond Uhir's comprehension.

"I'm sorry. I'm a double."

That's what I said when I was stabbed in the throat by a whale, lighting up my body, shattering it and disappearing.

I was supposed to be real, but I was a double.

"Shit!

Uhir stands up and begins to dodge attacks from the countless doppelgangers surrounding him.
