There's a new line of tea treats on my desk... or was there food or something at Alice's house... no, well, you do exist. Wait a minute, there's always an image of hunger... Alice, I'm sure you don't need sleep or a meal... Does that mean that hunger used to be an act to fool me?

No, even if meals are part of my preference, I'm eating tea...

"... So, how far did you talk?

"Where the devil has come out"

"Oh, I was. The evil god, the pro-jade of the villain, called it The Great Evil God of Despair, but there was nothing like will in that evil god. Just destroy the world, that's all."

……

Cheng Cheng, there is no intention... from the moment it emerges, it seems to be a kind of disaster that moves only for the purpose of destroying the world.

"When that evil god emerged, you couldn't even put it on the wind of Las Boss, who would" wrap human minds around the world in darkness and invite them to despair, "well, attack the habits of Las Boss in spirit. They're coming in physics."

"Sayin ', dis, but wrapping human minds around the world in the dark... it's amazing..."

"Right. Well, if you can imagine Mr. Isis' death magic spreading all over the world, like. Well, Mr. Isis is many times stronger in strength..."

Cheng Cheng, just a mental attack. If Mr. Isis' magic of death is what forces the other person to fear death, does it feel like it forces people around the world to have feelings of despair...... Uh-huh. It's really outrageous to just listen.

"In fact, it was pretty nasty... not just my heart, but it was painted black all the way to my sight, and it felt like drifting into the darkness of nothing... if I just kept it up, the human hearts around the world would have died"

"... such a monster, how..."

"The human mind isn't that simple, like being given despair and dyed with instant despair, is it? Instead, there is despair, which is why we try to fight it… At that time, the human mind around the world was connected to one by evil gods. That's why... it was my chance."

……

The look that was so joking changed, and Alice turned to a serious look and starts talking.

It felt like I was telling you that it was important from here on out.

"A small wish in the hearts of people all over the world, a firm hope for the future… I spinned all that thought with the power of Hekatonkail and took it into my own body. To defeat the great evil gods of despair, to protect their loved ones... I spin the world."

……

"In conclusion...... I won. Defeated the Evil God and defended the world… sometimes called 'Hero of Hope'"

"... Alice"

Why not? Happy endings... Alice, who gathered hope around the world, triumphed over the evil gods who sought to wrap the world in despair.

That's supposed to be a great thing, like the end of the story... how can Alice have such an unfloating look?

"... so congratulations, the world is at peace... and I wish it had ended"

Alice smiles mocking herself, as she answers my question like that.

"... strangely, I immediately noticed. You don't have to eat for days, you don't have to sleep for days... I'm not tired at all, I noticed myself"

"Huh!?

"Spinning hope all over the world... to that enormous energy, my original body couldn't stand it... so I guess... my body was evolving... no, it was transforming. In" More Creatures Than Evil Gods "..."

……

Alice, who should be the hero who defeated the evil god, sometime became a monster above the evil god... Cheng Cheng. That's why you said 'ex-human'... Alice must have exceeded her limits as a human being then.

In that world where humans are the only species, they have become completely out of framework.

"... well, that's not why you were persecuted. I mean, I actually couldn't. At that time, I was no match for humans from all over the world."

"Yes... is it..."

"Yes, but my partner...... my best friend laughed at me worried: 'I just got a little more power than people know, and you're going to be a god, or you're stupid'... and you treated me like never before. So did my sister and the rest of us. Whatever it was I was, I laughed at it as a matter of course."

Alice's best friend and sister... I don't think it really mattered that Alice was beyond people's knowledge.

Whatever happens, Alice is Alice... I'm sure you can understand that if you look at Alice's expression right now, it was a very happy word for Alice.

"... but my despair... came from here"

"... Huh?

Alice lay down her face once as she told her in a heavy and painful voice so as to block such air... and when she looked up again, she was smiling like she was still going to cry.

"... I've been 'immortal' ever since this body was transformed"

"Become... ah..."

"That's right. Now, as Kate imagined... as the precious people I loved from my heart grew older... it was just me, for a long, long time."

……

Now I finally understand. What was the despair Alice had tasted...

The story told so far is that of a girl called a hero who 'defended what mattered'... and what is about to be told is that the girl 'lost it'...

"My mother, dead, my father or my death... the flow of cruel times took away my loved ones in turn. Over and over again, I've experienced the death of a loved one. When my dearest sister died worrying about me, I cried so much that my tears withered."

……

How sad was that? Until we fought the outrageous existence of evil gods, the people who defended us... how much of Alice's heart is going to miss those deaths...

"... I thought I was... 'invincible'. As long as there are people who want to protect my back, my heart will never break. He said he could be strong everywhere and beat any mighty opponent... and that was true"

……

"As long as there were people I cared about, my heart would never get on my knees... but if I lost those people... my heart was so clammy that I laughed... it was shattered"

I can't say anything. It's a little spicy to be left alone, but I can see that.

When I lost my parents and was left alone, I felt so empty... and I'm sure Alice...

At the same time, there was an answer to the question. Why did Alice reveal such a tremendous passion for Mr. Eden... perhaps she fears losing something more important than anything else.

Because, I'm sure, I've been through so much sole...

"... when a loved one dies, there's a cold, dark hole in my heart where that person should have been before... The hole never disappears when it gets smaller… it keeps holes in my heart all the time."

"... Alice"

"I couldn't stand to be left alone. I wasn't sure I would carry everyone's death... so when all my loved ones were gone... I didn't think I'd be able to live."

"Huh!?

A sad voice, tearful eyes... Alice's words tell a story that is never exaggerated.

But then why does Alice exist before me now? Did something happen to change your mind?

"... and the last thing left was my best friend. Amazing, isn't it? 'I don't want to be alone' because that thought alone kept me alive much longer than the others...... but still the limit came"

……

"A future where I, left alone, mourn and cut off my own life... I guess my best friend was guessing Sole. So, at the time of death... my best friend put a 'curse' on me."

"... a curse?

"Yes. Kind, painful... still binds my heart." The Last Wish of a Best Friend, "an irresistible curse… I still remember my conversation with my best friend."

Slowly biting down every word, painfully mourning her sad fate, Alice began to quietly speak her last words of memory with her remaining best friend.

Dear Mother, Father - Alice's past, what continues to afflict her, has finally been revealed. And at the same time, it was the answer to Alice's fierce feelings of discomfort. That time, Alice's anger, maybe - was a mourning.
