After speaking with Iris, Alice finished putting together her thoughts to some extent, and came to the space where she was usually training with Makina.

At first, I was brought to Eden, but after the training became regular, I was given the tools to enter this space, so I could come by myself.

"Makina, I need to ask you something... yeah?"

It was Alice who had always arrived in the white space of the street, but soon after she saw the scene in front of her, she stiffened.

There, Alice hugged a giant stuffed animal made to mimic the cat's toy when she was at the grocery store, and there was a figure of Makina lying with her back facing us.

And beside Makina was a plaque, saying, "I'm tired.It was written, "Comfort me."

"...... this is a troublesome development to see"

(...... So, what's the matter, Makina?)

"... how about putting in a bokeh that reverses the truth and the building under the premise that the opponent can read the mind..."

Looking at Makina's voice as if she was tired as it was written on the plaque and her voice was not energetic and her cheeks were not sharp, Alice let out a sigh and opened her mouth.

"Hah... so, what is it?"

I'm just being beaten up by the world's irrationality.

"[Irrational Beings] are making fun of me..."

With a deeply dazed expression on her face, Alice thought that she had come at a troublesome time in her heart, but she would not proceed unless she restored the tension of Makina for the time being.

And when she deliberately consoled and wrote on the placard, she probably had some kind of demand on Alice.

After all, what should I do to comfort you?

"...... Takoyaki."

"... haa"

Makina's request was followed by a resounding sigh from Alice, followed immediately by the appearance of Octopus ingredients and special cooking utensils.

Alice grabs the ingredients while thinking, "If you want to eat octopus, you can serve the finished product."

"...... I want plenty of blue."

"You're going to order me a lot of details..."

With a troublesome expression on her face, Alice accelerated the time and instantly completed the cooking. Alice put the upright octopus in a container and offered it to Makina.

"Look, I got it."

When Makina heard the voice, she looked back and woke up... and opened her mouth.

Ahhn

……

Ahhhhhhh

”... haaaa”

Makina opens her mouth like a chick seeking bait...... Seeing that she was in a completely sweet mode, Alice let out her biggest sigh so far and threw a takoyaki into Makina's mouth.

Then Makina ate it deliciously and swallowed it, and opened her mouth again, so Alice threw in the takoyaki again... Repeating it three times, Makina got up and clenched her fist.

"All right, I'm fine!

"... it's a tendency to hold it back as cheaply as ever."

After eating three octopuses, Alice was dazzled by Makina, who was completely energized. Makina took a container containing octopus from Alice and tilted her neck.

"So, Alice, what do you want to hear?"

Ah ~ I heard about the ultimate god Nepula a while ago.

"... the same reason I was tired..."

"So that means that Nepula is real after all..."

The first development was a troublesome process, but once Makina brought it back, the talk was quick. While Makina answered Alice's hypothesis, she also explained the situation of Makina.

When she finished speaking roughly, Alice put her hand on her chin and gave a thoughtful expression.

"... even though I expected it, it's still the same exuberant power. The end of the story (epilogue)"

Really?

"But after all, isn't that a lot of good people acting?"

"Yeah. I was also curious about that, so I looked it up with all my knowledge and asked the gods I knew... but it seems to have been like that for a long time."The name "Almighty Kill" is intense, but in fact, even if you sell a fight to Nepula and lose, most of them seemed to miss the pattern of "come anytime you want to fight again". "

Hmmm.

"It seems that Nepula's subordinates... did not condone the other party to harm those under their protection, but otherwise they were really generous and kind."Seems like my men were quite hung up on me, too. "

"I see... I thought about the possibility of acting so well that I couldn't see through it, but after all, is it a good person at the root..."

After nodding convinced by Machina's words, Alice continued to ask Machina some questions before leaving the space behind.

Late at night, when the moon rose high into the sky, Nepula, sitting on a branch of the world tree, moved her gaze... and saw Alice groaning on the roof.

Nepula leaned her neck and jumped up from the branch and approached Alice.

"...... Mr. Alice? Is something wrong?"

"Yeah, I'll ask you a little... straightforwardly, but you're... the ultimate god, Nepula, aren't you?"

……

... said quietly, and Nepula gave a stunned expression.
