Here Comes The Drama Again

Daisuke Hiyama, who had been severely injured by Eriri, remained curled up in the corner, crying and shouting. His attempt to murder Nagumo had been completely exposed, and the others were now deeply resentful of him, so no one went to check on him. His three henchmen stood timidly to the side, not daring to speak up.

Kouki Amanogawa, who had been pulled aside by Shizuku Yaegashi, looked at Daisuke Hiyama, lying far away, and fell silent. He then walked over to Hiyama, crouched down, and said softly, "Hiyama, are you okay?"

"Ugh… I'm in so much pain… I'm dying… ugh… Kouki, please save me…" Daisuke Hiyama reached out and grabbed the hem of Kouki Amanogawa's pants, crying hoarsely.

Seeing Hiyama in such a pitiful state, Kouki hesitated for a moment and then brought him over to Kaori Shirasaki, speaking with a sense of righteousness, "Kaori, could you heal him? After all, he is still our classmate, and we'll need his strength to fight against the demon race in the future."

However, Kaori Shirasaki did not agree to his request. Instead, she looked at him coldly and said, "Heh, Kouki, if you weren't my childhood friend, I would have slapped you right now. Please throw this eyesore out of my sight, lest I decide to finish him off."

"Kaori…"

"Get lost!"

"..."

Kaori Shirasaki's reaction left Kouki Amanogawa stunned. In his eyes, Kaori had always been someone kind to everyone and had always stayed by his side. Now, she was refusing to help a classmate and was even speaking harshly to him, her childhood friend…

Kouki couldn't help but look at his other childhood friend, Shizuku Yaegashi, as if seeking answers for Kaori's sudden change.

"Shizuku…"

"Kouki, grow up…" Shizuku Yaegashi looked at him with disappointment, shaking her head, without saying more.

Hearing their conversation, Daisuke Hiyama felt a sense of despair. As he felt his body grow weaker and weaker, the pain and despair combined drove him mad. Suddenly, he remembered someone he had collaborated with and weakly called out in a hoarse voice from the crowd, "Nakamura… save… save me. Aren't we… partners? You… you've sided with the demon race, so you should have… many… many secret medicines to save me, right? Please… save me… save… save…"

After speaking, Daisuke Hiyama collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

Hiyama's words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd, and everyone looked incredulously at a bespectacled girl with a bob haircut.

Seeing this scene, Eriri's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said to Arifureta, "Arifureta, it looks like there's more drama to watch!"

"Is she really a villain? After watching the anime, I thought she was just a quiet and introverted background character…" Arifureta was also a bit confused, as this was something she never expected.

"Hmm, I knew a bit about this. I read a few volumes of the original novel and happened to reach the part where Eri Nakamura betrays them." Eriri said with a chuckle, pinching Arifureta's dazed cheek. "I know a bit more than you do. Okay, let's keep watching the fun."

Feeling it was a bit dull to just sit and watch, Eriri pulled Arifureta into her lap, placing her hands through Arifureta's underarms and resting them on her soft stomach. She leaned her chin on Arifureta's left shoulder, their cheeks pressed together, their eyes aligned as they watched the scene unfold.

"Eri… what's going on? Is what Hiyama said true?" a petite girl with twin tails asked, looking at her friend in disbelief.

Eri Nakamura ignored Taniguchi Rei's question and didn't refute Hiyama's words. She stood silently with her head down, not expecting things to turn out this way. The preparations she had made for a future plan had not yet been put into action.

"Tch… what a blunder," Eri Nakamura muttered softly, then suddenly grabbed Suzu Taniguchi, holding a small knife to her neck. Looking at the unconscious Daisuke Hiyama, she coldly said, "Useless fool, completely incompetent."

Controlled by Eri Nakamura, Suzu Taniguchi did not resist and could not resist. Her expression was bewildered as she said, "Eri… why…"

Eri Nakamura continued to ignore Suzu Taniguchi. Not wanting to reveal too much without thorough preparation, her only thought was how to escape. As for her goals, they would have to wait for another opportunity.

She turned her gaze to Eriri, tentatively asking, "Eriri-san, I know you're strong. If you want to kill me, I wouldn't be able to escape. But… we have no grievances, and you're not from this world, so could you let me go this time?"

Eriri waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "We're just here to watch the show. As long as you don't provoke me, I'm not interested in interfering. Now go on with your performance."

"Thank you."

The conversation between Eriri and Eri Nakamura drew everyone's attention. Even amid the tension, seeing Eriri and Arifureta's intimate posture made them pause, captivated by the sight of two beautiful girls together, which was both astonishing and slightly strange, hinting at the nature of their relationship.

"You two…" Shizuku Yaegashi said awkwardly, as if she hadn't fully grasped the situation.

Eriri interrupted her with a laugh, reminding her, "Shizuku-chan, now's not the time for that. Your classmate is being held hostage."

"Ah…" Shizuku Yaegashi snapped back to reality and turned to Eri Nakamura, urgently saying, "Eri, what are you doing? Don't hurt Suzu."

"Eri, why did you side with the demon race? Aren't we companions? Didn't we agree to fight the demon race and save humanity together?" Kouki Amanogawa also hurriedly asked, seeing Eri Nakamura's drastic change.

"Shizuku, Kouki… since we're companions, you should let me go, right?" Then she turned to Suzu Taniguchi, who she was holding, and said calmly, "Right, Suzu…"
