I was so happy that So-kun was cheering for me that I forgot that this woman beat So-kun… So thoroughly that me and So-kun would win the championship together.

Yes, if it’s one on one, there will surely not be enough space to revive So-kun. In other words, I must defeat this woman and win the championship with both of us alive by the time So-kun’s revival time is up.

That is the absolute condition. I put all my feelings into it——

[Die!]

[Why don’t you die?]

[You two, this is a game, right? Even though it feels strangely real, it’s a game——]

[So-kun, shut up.] [Saioji-kun, shut up.]

[…Yes.]

When this woman and I told him to shut up, he meekly did.

[…The worst.]

I can’t believe I said those words to him at the same time as this woman, of all people…

I had been in a good mood until a few minutes ago, but now I feel like I’m in a bad mood. This is all her fault.

[…Die! Die!]

[I know I sound like a schoolboy, but it’s the one who wants me to die who will die, okay?]

I have driven this woman, who is saying things that I don’t understand, into a corner. I received some damage, but I’m okay with that.

[This is the end——]

[Don’t move.]

Saying that, this woman came up next to So-kun, who was down, and took a grenade in her hand.

[What are you——]

[I’m going to blow myself up along with Saioji-kun.]

[Wh…]

Th, this woman…!

[You and Saioji-kun are going to win this game, right? But instead, you’ll be without your Prince Charming, and he’ll die at the same time as me… Well, we’ll both live happily in Heaven, so Shirayuki-san, please support us, okay?]

[……]

So-kun and this woman are going to have a heart-to-heart? The two of them? How can that be allowed? And me supporting them? There’s no way I could say such a thing.

[There’s no way I would allow such a thing! When So-kun dies, I’m going to kill him and I’m going to die too!]

[O, oi, th, that’s in the game, right? You’re not talking about real life, right?]

[Eh, of course in real life.]

[Eh…?]

So-kun says in a surprised voice, sounding trembling for some reason. Was he that happy? Well, now I have to think about what to do about So-kun being held hostage rather than such ordinary talk. It would be meaningless if I were the only one to survive and win it.

And for it to be a championship that consists of So-kun and this woman dying at the same time…It makes absolutely no sense.

I quickly opened my computer after racking my brain trying to figure out how to distract this woman. The search was, of course, for——

[Hey, have you read the new novel?]

[Eh, why is Shirayuki-san talking about novels…?]

[Actually I love novels, since So-kun taught me how to read them, right?]

[I didn’t know about that.]

Of course, it’s a lie. The love game was good for So-kun because he could learn a lot from it, but the novels are nothing but poison for him. It is the worst kind of poison that causes cheating.

But, as much as it pains me, I have no choice but to go along with it for now.

[Y, you liar! You took my light novels——]

[Did you say something?]

[No, that’s why you did that to my light novels——]

[What did I do?]

[N, nothing.]

The good thing about So-kun is that he becomes more understanding when I get a little angry with him. Well, I trained him that way…Or rather, I made him that way. He has an unconscious belief that if he argues with me when I am angry, I’ll do something bad to him, so he basically does not rebel against me.

[Hee, so what kind of novels do you like, Shirayuki-san?]

[That’s——]

Everyone is susceptible to curiosity. It is when they are curious that they are the most blind.

It’s the same for me. They say that you get blinded by love, and I think that’s exactly what it is. Even so, I have tried to avoid being blinded as much as possible.

[Die!]

I shot this woman in the head with my sniper rifle the moment she let her guard down.

[Eh…]

I couldn’t hear that woman’s voice because she was already dead, but I could only hear So-kun’s voice. And we won, and the screen showed YOU VICTORY.

[We did it! So-kun!]

[Y, yeah…I, it’s all thanks to Hatsune.]

[No, that’s not true♥]

I say while holding the downed So-kun in my arms. …Ah, only So-kun, who is down, and I are in this world. I really wish the world could be like this.

With such a dreamy story in mind, So-kun and I turned off our game consoles.
