"Body modification ...... sounds interesting."

Aliyah thought for a moment, then replied.

"So, you want to have your body modified?"

"Me? Don't be ridiculous."

I shook my head in a hurry.

"Even if this world is a other world and it looks like we're just playing a game, but this world is still very real, and I don't want to experience the feeling of being turned into Frankenstein."

"Eh~ I thought you thought of this world as your home."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because it looks like you're enjoying this world."

"......"

Am I enjoying it?

It's true that I'm enjoying this world that can be resurrected and allow me to experience things that I could only experience in games before.

But ......

this world will always give me a strange sense of unreality.

"I can't argue with what you said just now, but is it the same for Aliyah?"

I asked back.

"Well ......"

the other shook her head.

"To be honest, I don't like this world."

"Why?"

"It's too fake."

As she spoke, she took out her sword and slashed at herself.

Instantly, blood splattered on Aliyah’s white arm.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!"

I hurriedly tried to stop her, but she wouldn't let me get close.

"Don't come near, I'm just demonstrating to show you how unreal this world really is. I think you should know that you can’t deal any damage to yourself after all this time, right?"

Then she raised her arm.

"Look at my HP, it's not reduced, right? This reflects directly onto every part of my body, which means ......"

Just as she spoke, the blood on her arm began to flow back quickly inside the wound, and then, the wound began to heal itself at a very unscientific rate!

This is ......

Although I knew I can’t deal any damage to myself, but I haven’t tried it with an attack that wasn't magic.

"See, that's how unreal this world is."

"Indeed ...... but that also gives us a convenience when we are in battles."

"It seems you still missed the point I am trying to make ......"

Aliyah pointed the sword in her hand at me.

"If you return to the original world one day, would you still be able to adapt to life in the real world?"

"Uh ......"

"If you really indulge yourself in this world, you will regret it one day ...... However, for now, we do have to take advantage of these unreal things, that is for sure. Also, don't get too emotional with the people in this world! You don't even know if this world really exists or not, but don't you think it's weird to be too emotional to the people in this world?"

"Is it strange?"

"That's for sure, she just treats you as her fiancé, and you just get excited like this, what else will you do in the future? Do you think you really want to live normally in this world? It's simply impossible, do you understand?"

"......"

"Hey, anyway, that's all I'm going to say, you can figure it out by yourself."

Aliyah looked helpless, as if she thought I had completely fallen into this world.

"Thanks for caring so much about me."

I said with a smile.

"I ...... I don't care about you at all! I just think that because we all come from the same world, at least we should help each other! There's nothing else!"

I touched her head.

"That's right, that's the Aliyah when I first met, the girl who was full of arrogance from the beginning."

"I'm not arrogant!"

"Yes, yes, I know, but it's just weird to see you talking to me with a serious face like that. Hey hey, don't hit me! You don't have much attack, but it still hurts!"

A series of -200 damage came out from my body, I hurriedly drank potions while begging for mercy.

"You do know, but you still talk nonsense!"

"Sorry sorry sorry, well, stop it, my HP potion costs money."

"Humph!"

"Well, let me ask you, aren't you also happy to know so many people? Closing yourself off too much only makes you suffer more, doesn't it?"

"I'm not closing myself. ......"

"Yes, yes, yes, in short, if we want to survive in this world much longer, then we definitely need to have enough interactions with this world. It has little to do with whether to establish relationships or not, but ...... we simply don’t know when we can leave this world, then before leaving, we will have to adapt to the life here, right?"

"...... well, it's right to think in that way."

"Well, more than that, there is still one day before the final match, should we go and investigate this strange programme?"

"That's for sure, otherwise my level will not be able to catch up with yours at all, let's go. Speaking of which, what's the best place to start investigating?"

"...... How should I know? Why do you think I'm asking you?"
