Listen to Alice and understand the pain she has had, all of it... I can't say very well that I could.

"... Alice. I also lost my parents a long time ago... so I think I know a little bit about the pain on the left side. But the years I've had don't even reach Alice's feet. So I can't tell you how comfortable I feel about Alice."

"Yes."

21 years and a little... That's about all I've lived for. Still, I'd lost my parents and given up on all sorts of things.

If you never come to this world, you can't say it's zero because you're disgusted every single day that your condition continues to extend and you have the possibility of choosing the worst future.

How many years has Alice had that feeling? Tens of thousands of years in the original world, tens of thousands of years in this world... long distracting years that I can't even imagine... days that I have continued to suffer from using only the wishes left by my best friend as a reason to live.

I couldn't even tell you how I felt.

"... put it on, I want to protect Alice's heart, what I said... in fact, I think I can only count what I can do to Alice"

……

"But, well... 'Being with me' can be done."

"... ahh"

Put your thoughts into the words and at the same time strengthen the power of the hand holding Alice.

Give that little body a warm, missed... strong, hug.

"To me, Alice is... I'm under the impression that he's stupid, he can't, he's just kidding around in trouble..."

"... it's terrible. Mr. Kite."

"... but it's so bright, so dependable, so I can deal with it without straining my shoulders... it's so important that I can't even think about it anymore."

"Huh!?

I hear a breathless voice, and Alice in my arm moves slightly.

"... I promise I will never leave Alice alone. So I want you to stay with me as Alice."

"Ugh... no... if you want... I will... always be there for you"

A small hand spins around my back with a trembling voice. I'm sure your feelings are with me, so that you don't miss the warmth we have here right now, so that you can connect... such an embrace to make sure we're together.

Promise not to leave Alice alone, that may be difficult for me to be just a person...... but I will make sure to keep it.

"... I'm not immortal, so it may be difficult... but Mr. Noyne is a demon from a human being, and in that way..."

"... Huh? Mr. Kite is' immortal ', isn't he?

"... Huh?

Is that weird? I'm pretty ready now, and I'm gonna quit being a human, but I'm gonna declare I'm with Alice... why are you saying, "What are you talking about, Coz? ♪ You're gonna get a response like ♪

Am I immortal? Ha ha, he's a troubled guy to be kidding until this time...... Huh? Seriously?

"... from Master Sharovanal, haven't you heard?

"... what?

"Yes, no, so... the effect of the blessing..."

"... Come on, I got my neck tilted..."

Shiro's name coming out here, that's strange...... even when I met Mr. Lilywood, but why do you know him better than me, the Blessed Ten?

Or does Mr. Shiro's blessing even have the effect of becoming immortal?

"... Oh really? No, I heard from Mr. Kro that... since Lord Sharovanal's blessings fall at the full top of all divine blessings, he can get all the benefits he gets from divine blessings."

"Really? Or are there blessings that make you immortal?

"The Duke of Lilia has blessed Mr. Kronoa's book."

……

Oops I think I heard some more shock remarks...... The effect of getting old is due to Mr. Kronore's blessing, and Mr. Lilia seems to be immortal too.

And anyway, I seem immortal. Hey, natural goddess... I didn't ask you that...

(The effect of my blessing is the superior 'apparently' of all gods)

Too late!? Besides, the person in question seems to have a better grasp of Kro!?

(Amazing...... so was' extra applied ritual 'to the fast guy for nothing......)

Hey, what are you sassy about, planting something else? Where I don't know, my body is super remodeled!?

I see Alice's face as Kyoton as she puts a penetration into Mr. Shiro's heart.

"... well, I'm immortal..."

"... hey... hehe..."

"... wow, haha... what the hell is this? I'm not tight at the heart of this..."

"Well, that sounds like Mr. Kite!

"Wait, here..."

I don't know, it doesn't tighten up where it matters...... such a lost conversation seems to be somehow related to me and Alice, they stuck with each other and laughed at each other.

"... well, but if you say you're immortal, you don't have to grieve Alice, okay?

"... but not immortal, right?

"There you go... 'You'll protect me', won't you?

"... has it come... you're no match. Yes, I'll take care of it. Only when it comes to protecting me is it undefeated. Instead, don't let me get too elbowed or in a hurry... 'Protect me' huh?

"Oh, I promise"

I tell Alice to protect herself, and Alice tells me to protect her heart.

The words seemed to make up for each other and were very gentle... a promise I could feel safe with.

"... Alice. I like it. I want you to stay with me."

"... Mr. Kite. I like it. Please, let me stay by your side."

And exchange words to confirm, so that we can attract each other... softly, mouth to mouth.

They were soft, comfortable, and warm with each other, all through their thoughts.

And when I let my lips go either way, there were tears in Alice's eyes.

"... scared, I lost it"

"Yeah?"

"I was about to fall in love to die... to go where my best friends are. So when it came true, I thought I'd feel stronger about dying... because I was so anxious that I didn't have the courage to take a step inside."

In tears, Alice turns her hand around my neck and hugs me as if I could see her.

"But I can't seem to go where my best friends are...... I like Mr. Kite and have him take that thought...... my desire to die has disappeared somewhere. I always wanted to be with you… I wanted to 'live' the future of walking you"

"... yeah"

"... Mr. Kate, just once... will you call me this name?

That's how Alice tells me one name to whisper in my ear, takes her body away from me, and stares straight into my eyes.

I immediately understood what the name was.

This name was once the name of a hero who saved one world, and she will decide in the true sense from now on...... herself in the past.

"... 'Alicia'"

……

Alice, hearing the name I gave her, closes her eyes gently and remains silent for a moment.

And Alice's beautiful blue eyes, which opened her eyes, dwelt in a strong and certain will.

"... thank you. Now, the girl who was called a hero in another world… Alicia died, in a true sense. And my name is' Alice ', and I'm going to walk with you. Again, thank you for your continued support"

"Yeah. Welcome..."

Say goodbye to your past self, and Alice smiles full face.

Not a hero of another world, not a fragment of fantasy, not a faceless king... as Alice, one girl living in this world...

It was as bright and powerful as the sun...... her best friend wished, a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Dear Mother, Father - I was able to accept Alice's thoughts and communicate my honest feelings myself. Spinned bonds are stronger and harder. With her new, and will continue to be - brilliant beside me.
