Benzaiten grimaced an ugly smile as she completed her explanation about variants on Reizen-san.
I would like to defeat her before she does something crazy but during this time, Himiko and I are still fighting for control.
The worst thing that could happen is that she would trap me in a divine domain.
If she shows any sign of using it, I would respond instantly according to the situation.
Himiko knows this so she tries to deter me by showing signs of deploying divine domain.
The two of us continued to read each other using the slightest movement of our magic powers and muscles.
「This girl seems to love you.」
Benzaiten puts her hand on her chest.
「At least I knew she didn’t hate me.」
「You don’t get it, do you? I’m not saying it like that. I’m saying she loves you enough to risk her life for you.」
「That……can’t be true.」
「Even if the only reason she laid on the arms of that man lying over there was to keep him from laying his hands on you?」
「It’s because of work……」
Reizen-san put her gaze down in a sad manner.
「No, even if she have to embrace some men……if you can stay the way you are, she’s willing to do it.」
「Eh…..?」
A single tear spilled from Benzaiten’s, no, Hiyama-san’s eyes as she said that.
Both her mouth and her eyes were distorted in an ugly way.
That tear must have been the last remaining piece of Hiyama-san in that body.
She probably didn’t want her to know.
I don’t think her feelings are abnormal in any way.
She must have been distressed.
Somewhere along the way, she must have become so distorted that she thought that if she slept with any man who approached Reizen-san, she would keep her pure.
It must have been very painful.
Benzaiten takes pleasure in letting Reizen-san hear it.
「What a bad personality.」
Himiko muttered something but she did not seem to be moved by it.
「That’s……Hiyama-san….?」
Reizen-san’s face turned pale as she stared at Benzaiten, who looked identical to Hiyama-san.
「I love this. I love seeing human emotions in action, no matter how many times I see them. As long as you keep quiet, I can act as Hiyama Shiori. Then, you won’t have to be lonely, how about it? I know you’re dependent on Hiyama Shiori too.」
「I’m not……」
「It’s because of Hiyama that you could continue to be a voice actress, right?」
「……that’s right. If it weren’t for her, my rival, I would have broken down.」
Reizen-san’s eyes grow vacant in response to Benzeiten’s offer.
「Right? They, you may keep quiet about me. I’ll be nice to you, okay? Just bring a man(food) to me once in a while.」
Is that what you want?
「But, no……you’re not Hiyama-san……」
「Does it matter if I’m fake? How much difference will it be to you whether I’m a fake or the real thing?」
She’s in a state of hypnosis with magic power.
She might believe what she’s saying easily.
It is so powerful that a normal person would lose his or her senses.
I wonder how much thought Reizen-san is putting in her career as a voice actress.
It all depends on the strength of her determination.
