Alphine...

When I saw the tattoo of the wheat ho on my neck, I had a growing feeling that the body in front of me was Alphine, but on the other hand, I felt that there was me who wanted to deny it.

And finally... one last thing... I have to admit that this body is Alphine.

One last thing...

To become Kensei Alphine, I was still unable to confirm the features engraved on her.

All we have to do is check... one last thing.

I took the hanging woman's right hand with a scratching feeling.

――

I don't have a sword at all! There is no crystal of her cultivated effort in front of her body!

Though corrupt, it is unlikely that her stack of swords will disappear.

Touch the body's right hand carefully again.

However, the skin on the right hand of the body was soft and did not resemble the feeling of Alphine's hands.

I don't have a sword... and this isn't Alphine.

Who the hell is this body!?

Knowing the fact that the body executed as Kensei Alphine was not Alphine himself, the doubt swirled in my head with relief.

If the body in front of you is not Alphine, where is Alphine...?

And why did you announce that you executed a different person as Alphine?

I don't understand...

Take a deep breath to calm your confused mind.

Calm down, I decided to check the hanging body again carefully.

She has black hair and is close to Alphine in age and body.

There is also an example tattoo.

But Alphine himself doesn't have the sword he should have.

As I carefully checked the body, I saw something sparkling from the torn belly of a crow.

I'm afraid I'll take that shiny object.

Pendant? Looks like it's carved into something.

Luna, it looks like Mills is engraved.

Could one of them be the name of this body?

In the meantime, let me take care of it for you to investigate.

Not Alphine, let's find out exactly who you are and why you're dying.

And let me find out where Alphine is.

When I touched the head of the body, I meditated and offered my prayers, leaving the walls and going first to the mansion where I lived with Alphine.

When Alphine came to the Mansion that she purchased from the City of Nobility as soon as she became a nobleman, the Knights of the Kintetsu were also alert to block the entrance.

The reason I'm so vigilant about Alphine's mansion, which I should have announced is because...

I guess she's still alive.

Does that mean the body just now was a kae-Dama?

I still need to find out what happened to Alphine after I left.

When I disappeared again by magic, I crossed the wall into the Alphine Mansion.

There was no sign of anyone living in the Mansion, and Vigo, who was the butler, was not seen.

Looking around the room, nostalgia comes to mind because of the place I lived until a few months ago.

I felt my heart beat faster when I looked in front of Alphine's room in my memory.

When I was Finn, I always thought Alphine would tell me something every time I stood in front of this room.

But now I'm Flick... not Finn.

I told myself to open the door to her room.

The room is completely untouched, and after I left, Alphine didn't let anyone clean the room.

I just told you to put out your clothes as laundry.

The bed is as rough as you can get.

Looking at the rougher room than I expected, I found myself in the habit of being a fin.

I started cleaning up the room, and I saw a sword placed next to the bed.

That's... the sword I gave Alphine and the sword Alphine gave me...

Take the sword in your eye and pull it out of your sheath.

Looks like they haven't been taken care of in a while...

Even though he was on medical treatment, Alphine didn't fail to take care of this sword...

Why are you leaving it here?

First of all, if I put the sword into a sheath, I'll start cleaning up again.

After cleaning up the room for a while, a diary came out from under the bed.

From the strong characters written on the cover, it looked like the diary Alphine had written.

Alphine, I'm sorry. Let me see the contents.

I wish I had a clue, and when I apologize to Alphine in my heart, I start reading the diary.

Inside, the details about me were written, as was Alphine's feelings at that time.

What the... Alphine... you never said that.

As I looked through what was written, I felt my vision seeping with tears.

And when the contents of the diary came in after I left, I could see that her writing was also disturbed and her mental state was worse.

Continuing with the reading, it turns out that after I left, Alphine gave instructions to Deacon Vigo to look for me.

Finn's badge I threw away was found in Algren!?

What the hell is going on...

Besides, I'm dead... what's going on?

I didn't understand what was written in Alphine's diary, probably after I went to Algren.

After returning from Algren, the diary was more disturbed and my apology spelled out forever.

Alphine always thought I was dead in Algren...

At the end of the diary, a word was written suggesting suicide for redemption.

But the date was a long time ago...

The day Alphine was executed should be much later...

We need to gather more information about what happened to Alphine and why the hanging body was a kae-Dama.

I took the diary and the swords we had given each other in two waves and decided to go to the Enestrosa house where Noire was headed.
