Faith and Alice were confronted in the evening as they plugged through the window.

"... ha... ha..."

"... Ha... Ku..."

"Whoa!

"Ha ha!

He exchanges his gaze with a breath on his shoulder, and the two run out like they were bounced.

The shadows stretching indoors overlap and the protruding fists cross...... are sucked into each other's faces.

"Gu... I'll do it... Char Tan..."

"Faith............ is the one"

And they both collapse to the ground at exactly the same time, and the silence between the bundles comes around.

The two fisted and bumped into each other, with a sunny look now...

"... uh-huh. It doesn't stick."

"... Huh?

Faith, waking up Gabba and her body, looks at the windows slipping in the sunset with a seemingly difficult look on her face.

"Here's the thing from here, because the sunset is coming... after all, the angle... should Chartan come from that side? All right, Chartered One More Set!

"Yeah!? Hey, Mr. Faith! This is the 8th time since Faith said, 'No, it's not a double knockout at the end'!? Seriously, why don't you stop?

"... I want to be an uncompromising woman who seeks supremacy forever"

"Detain him like that and throw him away immediately."

Listening to Faith speaking in Doya's face as she stared at the window, Alice takes a seat at the counter after a loud sigh.

Seeing Alice like that, Faith grins lightly.

"How's that? Refreshing?

"... what do you think, huh? I don't know. Mr. Faith... I..."

"Do you want to lay Kai on top of your dead best friend and ask for her like an alternative?

"Huh!?

Alice's expression is strong when she hears Faith's words relaxed and told, as if she were going to do some public speaking.

That was more than anything proof that Faith's words were pictorial.

"Or are you afraid to find out that you've come to this world 'looking for a place to die'?

".................."

"Hey, Chartan? For Chartan, Kai... is she still replacing that best friend?

"Chi, no! Mr. Kite, Mr. Kite..."

"Well, that's good."

"... Huh?

Faith was the only one in this world who knew Alice's past that she didn't even know Chromeeina, and that's why she understood what her suffering was.

On top of that, Faith said. He said it was a crap problem...

"Chartan likes and matters about Kai... then you can tell him everything. Kai would take it all and still laugh."

……

"Chartan's a little too much on the shoulder - so wrinkled between the eyebrows and pushing herself... I'm going to have to be moderately weak like me ~"

"... I think Mr. Faith is overpowered..."

"Haha, maybe ~"

Alice smiles slightly when she hears the words of the loose Faith even at times like this.

After seeing Alice like that, Faith nods back at her heels once and walks toward the door when she says she's finished talking.

"... don't be sweet. To Kai... that's all I can say."

"... Mr. Faye... that... thank you"

"Hehe, well, me and Chartan are soul friends... 'That's what I can do with my powers in Hekatonkail'... right?

"... Yes"

"Goodbye ~"

Leaving a piece of advice at the end that seemed clear of everything, Faith waved away gently.

Back from the divine realm, I stopped by Mr. Lilia's mansion once before coming to Alice's grocery store, but it was late there. It's completely dark.

"... well, you know I'm coming..."

When I put my hands on the door, it was unlocked and I thought I knew I was coming.

Once inside the evidence, I was able to quickly find Alice sitting at the counter...

"Why are you worn out?

"... hey, I was young"

"Yeah?"

When I asked Alice, who was worn out, as if she had beaten me up for some reason, the example returned words that I could not understand.

Well, that doesn't seem like an atmospherically pressing situation, and that's not...

"Alice, I'm suddenly sorry, can I go in the back?

"Yeah, Mr. Kite is always welcome. Go ahead."

Alice, who heard my words, returns a bright smile... still somewhere. He also looks like he's forcing himself to make a smile.

I have a desire to pursue that, but now is not the time to put up with it, and move behind the counter… to a place where there is a workshop or living space.

Workshops and living spaces of unimaginable size from the exterior of the store...... Alice says it seems to be an application of space-time magic.

Well, there's such an item as a magic box, so maybe it's no surprise that there's magic that can expand through the room.

Moving from the workshop to the living room, which is one room apart, and sitting in the seat as Alice suggested, Alice makes tea without asking anything.

Thank you for that, then have a sip of delicious tea, and say the words slowly.

"Hey, Alice..."

"Yes? What is it?

"... I want to know about you"

"... ahaha... Alice's cuteness did it to you and you're complaining? It's a classic, but it's good - haha..."

……

"... ugly"

I got rid of any roundabouts and told Straight how I feel right now and I saw that Alice was still settling aside somewhere out of the way... but I can see the tension. It seems unusual and really upsetting.

"... or Mr. Kite... but that's..."

"Yeah. I know it's hard to say. So I'm not going to ask... because that's not all I want to know"

"... Huh?

"So is Alice's past, but I don't really know Alice in the first place. It's one hand to hear it from him, but I think it's important to try to find out for yourself..."

Yes, it's not just about the past. I don't know Alice very well... because I haven't really tried to know her before.

Thanks to Mr. Kronor's advice, I realized it wasn't like me to go around asking people, and I decided not only to wait for Alice to talk to me, but also to make an effort to find out for myself.

"... by the way, Alice. This living space is pretty big, isn't it?

"Huh? Yeah, well, Alice is also the type of person who confines herself to her address... Um... Mr. Kite?

"Cheng Cheng...... Well, me, from 'staying' here for a while"

"Yeah yeah!?

Tell him to declare it, and I'll take the dressing and toothbrush out of the magic box.

"Hey, wait a minute! Mr. Kite, look, I'm worried about the Duke of Lilia..."

"Oh, I'm here to talk to Lilia and get her permission."

"... Ugh... but it is. I didn't know you were staying in the room with such a young maiden, but there's only one futon here..."

"I brought the futon, so it's okay. You just have to let me sleep in the living room or something."

"Ahhh..."

The area is ready. He also admitted to me that "sounds like Mr. Kite" when I explained the situation to Lilia, and Lilia knows very well that I won't think about it later.

Listening to my response like that, Alice obviously had a troubled look on her face as an atafta, kind of adorable.

"... well, of course I can't help it if Alice says no. At that time, I took an inn nearby and said," I come early in the morning every day "..."

"You're serious... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... ok. I'll get you a room."

"Really? Thanks"

"... ugly"

For now, is the first stage something like success? Alice is the kind of person who's going to be deluded when she's reluctant...

"... something about Mr. Kite being in the carnivore system... no, well, that's..."

Dear Mother, Father - As a first step to finding out about Alice, I decided to stay at Alice's grocery store. Knowing more about the usual Alice would bring up another good idea. Anyway, this time - I'm going to push it.
