Perplexed by my sudden question, Lina couldn’t answer immediately .
“Metron-sama is a god whom we are to serve . A noble existence far away from anything else . ”
An absolute fanatic of faith .
Those were the kind of eyes Lina had at this moment .
I faintly nodded at her words, then closed my eyes and said in a composed voice .
“How pitiful . ”
“Pitiful?”
“Yeah, all I can see is you clinging to some god . ”
“Hu- S-Shut up! Clinging to Metron-sama?! There’s no way I’d do that!!” Lina tried to deny my words . I continued speaking with confidence .
“If that’s the case, then tell me, did you say anything about your own will in this long conversation?”
“?!”
Lina went silent after my question . She couldn’t answer .
That was to be expected . I mean, everything she had said was about that Metron .
Her feelings didn’t have a shape in the conversation .
Remaining quiet for a while, Lina finally opened her mouth .
“Shut... up... Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!!”
All she could do was refuse my argument .
“I am not clinging to someone!! Metron-sama just happened to be the appropriate god for me to serve!! Don’t speak as if you know everything!!”
I kept silent while Lina screamed, then she turned to look at me and grinned .
“You’re already out of magic anyway . I don’t want to hear the complaints of someone who will be disappearing from this world!!”
Letting her finish what she was saying, I began to slowly raise my right hand .
“Sorry, but I’m not disappearing . ”
I quickly snapped my fingers after replying .
Instantly, the white feathers stopped falling .
“W-What?! What’s going on?!”
Astonished by the feathers ceasing to fall, Lina tried activating the skill again, but without any use .
“Why?! Why isn’t it working?!”
Seeing Lina flustered after she tried activating the skill a few times, I gave her an honest answer .
“That’s because I erased your skill . ”
Realizing what I meant, Lina stiffened from bafflement and surprise .
“Erased my skill? The skill? T-That’s not possible...”
“Then try checking your stats . ”
Following my suggestion, Lina stopped moving for a while to check her stats then her face gradually turned pale until she crumbled on her knees .
“That’s impossible... No way...”
Lina muttered as she shivered while sitting on her knees .
What I did was erasing her skill using 【Erasure】 .
I thought that I could delete anything that I can see, and it turned out to be the case .
As I approached the trembling Lina, she said in a quavering voice, “Why, Why!... I am a superior servant, recognized by Metron-sama . Then why...”
“Try looking at my stats for an answer . ”
Lina raised her head and looked at me .
When she probably used her appraisal skill, she stiffened for few moments as she gazed at me .
Finally confirming what she saw, Lina’s eyes widened and she looked astonished .
“What... What’s wrong with these stats! Regardless of the level, you’re ascending rate and the variety of your skills... you can ascend to godhood in no time like this . ”
I was interested in Lina’s impressed thoughts on my stats .
Are my stats that great?
I’ve never had someone to compare them with, so I didn’t know .
Shocked after seeing my stats, Lina took back her composure and cast down her eyes as if she had given up .
“Kill me, I lost . Just kill me . ”
“Ha?”
Hearing her abrupt request, I let out a confused voice . What was this girl saying?
I was not intending to kill anyone here .
“What are you saying?”
“I lost to you, which means that I failed to carry out Metron-sama’s order . I don’t deserve to live anymore . So kill me!”
Listening to her words full of despair, I let out a sigh, amazed by her extreme reaction .
She was still going on this nonsense .
“Are you still insisting on that?”
“... What?”
Lina immediately reacted to my question .
“I’ve told you this before, you need to possess your own will and feelings . ”
“My own will?”
“Yes, a will that doesn’t have anything to do with Metron . Do you really want to die now, in this place?”
“I... I...”
At loss for words, Lina couldn’t answer right away .
That was normal . She was starting to doubt the way she had acted until now . It should take her a while to bring out an answer .

“I don’t know... until now, I have acted only out of loyalty and faith on Metron-sama... I don’t know what to do...” Almost as if she was forcing her mouth to open, Lina finally replied .
She doesn’t know, huh...
“Well, I guess that’s fine for now...”
“What?”
As if my words were unpredicted, Lina raised her head that was hanging in shame and looked at me .
“There’s no need for you to change right now . You’ve already made a progress by starting to doubt your conduct . ”
I offered my hand to Lina .
“Personally, I’d like it if you attended school again . Your classmates seem to be interested in you, after all . Ah, but just don’t you dare wake me up . ”
Lina seemed to be dumbfounded by what I had just told her, but she eventually started laughing .
“Sorry, but that last part is impossible . You need to stay awake in class . ”
“That’s a shame . ”
Gazing at each other while smiling, Lina reached her hand to mine .
When our hands overlapped, at that moment...
“Ha?”
“Eh?”
A dazzling light appeared between us .
Not being able to react in time, both of us were covered by that light . The light gradually brightened then disappeared with me and Lina, leaving only silence at the place we had been .

“Lina-sa- “Lina-san! I need your advice on something . ’”
“L-Lina-sa- ‘Lina-chan! Do you have some time after this?’”
“Kamiya-kun, it looks like me and Lina are living in different worlds . ”
“Kamaishi-san, you did your best...”
