I Decided to Not Compete and Quietly Create Dolls Instead

That Altirea took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, then spoke, Youre the same as the other children in the different timelines. We were all %$!%$#&@% in our past lives, so why are you all so crazy? Why am I the only one who thinks straight? She sarcastically muttered my name from my time in Japan.

Id like to ask you the reverse. I looked straight into her eyes and said, What if you were in my position? Would you be able to accept such high-pressure proposal?

Thats irrelevant. The tone of that Altirea was as arrogant as what youd expect from a villainous noble from an anime, If you think about the gains and losses calmly, then following me is the best choice.

Seems like you cant imagine yourself accepting it then. I continued to fan the flames, You too have a previous life as %$!%$#&@%, so why is your way of thinking so degenerate?

That Altirea gritted her teeth. Tea spilled from her bangs and fell onto the desk.

You lack tact and are far too conceited! That Altirea exclaimed.

Someone as haughty as you has no right to say I lack tact. Its far too late to take this kind of stance. I replied.

And thats not the only thing she is far too late to, for I have already solidified my hostility.

In fact, I was secretly exchanging telepathic messages right now in order to prepare a surprise attack.

I just need to push her a bit more. To keep the attention of that Altirea on me.

Therefore, Essentially, you just want someone to take care of you, but because I didnt react as you expected, and didnt give away my precious people, you decided that youll take away my will with your doll magic?

Youre the worst kind of needy girl. The kind that would just cry daddy over and over again to get your parents attention. As I told her that in a disdainful tone

Slap.

I slapped her cheek with the palm of my hand.

***

You damn brat!

Fine! Ill get rid of it since you want it so much! Become a mindless slave doll, Doll Magic: Queens Garden! Altirea glared at me as she said those words, showing her anger without holding it back.

I was completely unfamiliar with the last phrase, but I somehow understood its meaning. It was a type of doll magic. The same power I used on king Lereol the other day.

If she was able to fully activate it, Id surely become unable to neither think nor feel anything.

However

Now hold on just a second. Isnt it strange that there are two of the same person? After all, if you think about it normally, isnt it natural to conclude that youre just a fake calling yourself Altirea? Tourus said.

While me and Altirea talked, Tourus had been preparing his negation magic on the corner of the room, making full use of his weak presence.

His power to forcibly overwrite the truth For as long as it is active, this Altirea isnt the future me, but a fake instead.

The real thing is the little Altirea, because

You cannot use any form of doll magic. As Tourus said that, this magical power of Altirea was scattered. He was able to stop the activation of her doll magic.

And then (I wont let you harm the young lady.) Kajero, who was waiting behind the door of the conference room jumped into the fray.

And he was not the only one, I wont forgive you for threatening Alty! Feria headed towards Altirea with a bullet-like speed.

She pulled out her sword with a flash, while Kajero condensed the shadows and shot a jet-black arrow.

An explosion.

Smoke filled the conference room.

And when visibility cleared out Impossible I was Hurt? Altirea muttered.

It was far from a fatal injury, but she was definitely wounded.

A lie, a lie This has to be a lie.

Yeah, Im just gonna go back home and sleep. After I wake up, Im sure everything will be alright. As she said that, a magic circle appeared below her feet.

Are you going to run away?

I wont let you. Brother Tourus said.

However, Kajero was much faster.

Before her magic was completed, a dark arrow flew towards the head of Altirea.

At about the same time, the magic circle emitted a dazzling bright light

And then She laid down on the floor. Like a doll with a broken thread.

Her eyelids had fallen, and she was no longer breathing She will not move again.

Is it over? It was too fast, so I was unsure if that was truly it.

I truly didnt expect brother Tourus negation magic to be this strong.

I think it was inevitable that Id be able to do this. Tourus muttered, as if he read my mind, To stop my little sister, Id develop the ultimate form of negation magic somehow.

Then, Id find a way to use the secret technique to convey my powers to a different self of a different timeline of a different world.

Wouldnt that feel just like what your older brother would do? Well, its fundamentally just a theory though.

Actually, Id say its a solid theory that explains how things worked out this well.

Or maybe my thoughts are just messed up after all this

For now, I think we should be happy that were safe. Lets take a small break to recover, then leave for the empires capital once weve finished all our preparations. We have to help everyone who were robbed of their will by the fake Alty.

But for now Please excuse me. I need some time alone. As brother said that, he left the conference room.

He seemed to be mourning her

Surely, he must be praying for her happiness, and also praying for a peaceful rest for her. As an older brother, that fits him just right.

And on the next day, we left for the empires capital.
