Absolute Dweller

Avatar.

In simple terms, my clone.

Unlike me, it was able to leave the area where the house had been declared.

And then.

‘I didn’t know such a use was possible.’

I felt a sense of unease looking at the avatar, which had the exact same expression as my future self from the world of the mind.

Still, it was completely different from the feeling I had when I saw the previous avatar.

Back then, it felt like I was watching another body that I controlled, but now it felt like I was seeing a completely different person.

‘I can feel the sensations, and the mind seems to be connected, but still…’

It was a strange feeling.

He grinned and spoke.

“This isn’t bad.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Even this kind of limited freedom is something I’m pretty fond of.”

I asked the avatar.

“Wasn’t this the plan from the beginning?”

It was the other me who suggested using the avatar.

So, that means he already knew this way of utilizing the avatar.

He responded with a sly smile.

“Yeah. It was my trump card.”

“Tch.”

“Isn’t it actually a good thing for you? A variable you didn’t expect has been removed.”

That was true.

If I hadn’t known this fact, I might have been caught off guard at a critical moment.

“If it weren’t for the World Tree, I wouldn’t have cooperated by showing my joker card either.”

“……”

The face that had been smiling just moments ago was now twisted like an evil spirit.

The speed at which his expression changed from a smiling face to an angry one was almost like a transformation trick.

Using his entire facial muscles to express hostility toward the World Tree, he soon made eye contact with me and smiled softly.

Then, with a look that seemed to suggest I could rest easy, he opened his mouth.
