I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Alice's words… and faster than I reacted, Alice kept talking.

I guess that means I don't want you to touch me about what I just said.

"You've only said a few things before. Chartier meant" a shard of fantasy "in the world I lived in."

"... fantasy..."

"Yes. My heart was shattered and everything was gone for me... a wish that hasn't been fulfilled after all these years of living. It's like a fantasy. That's all it meant to live."

"... yeah"

Fantasy... I think Alice has had a distracting time until she came to this world. That's why for her, her best friend's wish is that she can't really imagine a future to come true. It was a fantasy, wasn't it?

"When I just came to this world, I expected so much. There are many immortals in this world, including Mr. Crowe, just like me. I was wondering if I could make my best friend's last wish come true..."

"But it never came true before?

"... Yes. It's only natural if you think about it. I had a strong desire to fulfill my best friend's wishes, and I was trying to force her to fall in love for it... Now I know better than ever that I can fall in love with her."

That's how she laughs at herself, Alice drinks the tea that has cooled her down and continues to talk.

"I was only called King Without Fantasy King No Face and... Faceless King. It's a good one, isn't it? I've been vain ever since I lost everyone. I changed my appearance corny, played a leap or a nanithing...... there is no definite shape anywhere. It was like that."

"... Alice"

"... I'll tell you the truth. This Alice was supposed to disappear after she kidnapped Kate."

"... Huh?

So when I looked straight into Alice's blue eyes, it was a strong message that I wasn't lying.

Was Alice supposed to disappear after you kidnapped me? What the hell does Sole mean?

Alice smiles bitterly when she looks at me tilting her neck with that in mind.

"Mr. Kate came into contact with me for the purpose of discerning not being close to falling in love, but in return for Mr. Crowe... is it good that you weren't weirdly aware? Me in the past, that's fine play!

"... Uh-huh"

"... well, as a joke to put aside... I was actually planning on making it a shallower relationship. At least we weren't going to go to the Alcresian Empire together."

"You mean you changed your plans?

"No, either... it was unexpected. Is that so? I have to apologize to Mr. Kite for that. Sorry......"

"Huh? Yes, no, why suddenly..."

Tell him I have to apologize, and he bows his head deeply to me, Alice, but I don't know why he's apologizing.

Alice keeps her head down for a little while and slowly raises her face before explaining why.

"... the second time I saw you, was it? When Kate scolded me... Kate looked overlapping with her best friend."

"Alice's, best friend...... that just came out of the story?

"Yes, it was the classic flow of me being stupid and my best friend scolding me, and I was often pissed off... so my best friend always gave me a smile that looked like he had been somewhere scratched after the anger was over... and I liked the warm bitterness somewhere, like I'm saying it was the one that had no choice..."

……

"After finishing the sermon, there was a bitter smile that Mr. Kite floated with a sigh of sigh... very similar to that of his best friend, kind of, back in time... I was glad"

After telling her with a look that reminds her of her old days, Alice replaces her somewhat anxious look and moves her gaze several times.

And after trying to find the words for a while, I tell them with a slight face down.

"... I overlaid Mr. Kite with my best friend. I wanted to be scolded by Kate, and I said stupid things... I've been treating Kate like an alternative to my best friend."

"... well"

"Oh, yes, not now! I don't think you're replacing Mr. Kite as your best friend!

"Oh, yeah. You don't have to rush to deny it."

"Ahhh..."

You heard my words and thought you'd hurt her, Alice hastily explained.

But I'm not concerned about what Alice said, I'm just concerned that Alice was going to disappear earlier.

Explaining it to Alice, Alice exhales in a hospitable manner and continues the conversation.

"... as I just said, at first I treated Mr. Kite as my best friend. But over and over again, as I exchanged words with Mr. Kite, not in a bad way, but in a good way... the appearance of my best friend, who was overlapping with Mr. Kite, began to brace me. As a replacement for my best friend, not because I'm Mr. Kite, and it's fun to be with... yes, I'm starting to think"

……

"But this character named 'Alice' disappears after betraying Mr. Kite at the end. Still, I don't know if Mr. Kite will lose his faith in others… that was the fourth test. Of course, I had my men lurking in that kidnapping place so Mr. Kite wouldn't get hurt. And once Mr. Kite survived the trial, I was going to deal with you not as Alice, but as a no-face, just as a subordinate."

"... but Alice helped me"

"... Yes. That was, for me, the biggest miscalculation... the most delightful miracle."

The look on Alice's face I told her so, with a bitter smile that seemed kind somewhere...... I felt kind of warm as if my trust in this one was showing up.

What Alice was looking for was something that made me laugh like this, so much so...

"At that time, you betrayed me as planned and said goodbye to me... Mr. Kite smiled, didn't he? Understanding that you were betrayed by me, and still can't help it... when I saw that smile, my best friend and Kate became something else entirely in me. This man is no one's substitute, the only one..."

……

"When I realized it, I was breaking the door I should have closed myself. I ascended the stage once I got off. Not as a chartier, not as a no-face, but as" Alice "who was supposed to disappear... from that moment on, Alice wasn't my character... she became a new name."

From a girl to a hero, from a hero to a fantasy shard, from a fantasy shard to a faceless king, and from a faceless king... to my well-known girl named Alice, she changed in front of me.

Listen to that...... what is it? Horrified. Now that Alice is not false, she understands that she is a decent person...

"... and I fell in love with Mr. Kite... sadly, I'm suddenly starting to get scared."

"Scared?"

"Yes, if they find out I've treated you as a replacement for your best friend, they'll hate you... No, more than that, I'm in love with Mr. Kite... Are you sure you're in love with Mr. Kite? Or have you just found the right person to fulfill your best friend's wishes… I've always wondered which is my true wish"

……

Well, there was a desire underlying Alice for me to fall in love with my best friend.

Is that wish coming true as a result of liking me... did you like me as a result of trying to make a wish come true... I guess I was worried about that.

So even though I was kidding you that it was love from me, you were rushing away when I rode...

"... and the moment I thought so when that God appeared and Mr. Kite might die... I couldn't help but be horrified. If Kate dies, I'll never get up again, I'll never laugh again... because I figured it out for myself, so... something went wrong with me."

……

"I'm sorry for all the roundabout. There was a burden on you. I was afraid that my current happy relationship would change. I can make all sorts of excuses. But in the end, I was just so timid... that I couldn't tell Kate about myself."

So I separate words once, close my eyes once, and then... Alice closes her words as she stares straight at me.

"... that concludes my story. I don't care if you take it... I'm ready now. It's okay if they think you're a pitiful guy, or if they say you're a terrible guy. I don't care if you hate me, I don't know how... Huh?

Why did you do that? I don't know... when I realized I was up from my seat and holding Alice's little body.

I haven't finished sorting out everything I just heard in my head yet. I don't think I can say good words.

However, the desire to convey something was overwhelming.

"... thanks. Alice, it was so hard to talk to you... tell me everything."

"... kite...?

"I may not be able to say this well... but will you stay like this for a little while and listen to me?

"... yes... as much as you want... blah, I'm going to cry already..."

Dear Mother, Father - the thoughts that Alice kept having on that little body, and the pain...... the words I return after hearing it. I don't need to decorate it, more importantly, I'm born in me - the desire to take my thoughts.
