Chapter 95
Adam looked at the first friend he’d made in the Trials of Defiance.
She looked slightly different from back then, since her brown hair hung down freely instead of being tied up in a ponytail like the other times he’d seen her. It didn’t take him long to realise she had picked the Summoner weapon type.
It’s a wonder she survived the first Stage with the wand.
In front of her was a strawberry milkshake, which gave Adam a strange pang of nostalgia and sadness.
Starting over from scratch really sucks…
He already knew that he couldn’t make his perfect loop happen in this universe, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t at least gather more knowledge about the Trials and the people who had been his friends.
Although it feels awful to build up relationships that I know won’t last, and treating people like they’re just study material for future loops is clearly wrong…
Adam sighed and kept an eye on Willow for a while longer. She didn’t have any bonuses, and based on her hunched shoulders and pinched face, she probably hadn’t fared well.
How do I talk to her without making her think I’m a stalker like last time? he wondered.
