Through a huge door, it was a bright white space. There was a large black sphere floating in the sky, like the sun's replacement, all but white...... at the end of that space stood a single girl.

Long hair about 150cm tall and crusty rusty. A beautiful girl dressed in a white piece with a geometric embroidery similar to a gear and feathering a large eyed brown cardigan.

The girl, with her characteristically polar-colored eyes and one wing of a machine made of gear and iron present only on her right back, looked at Alice and gave her a soft smile.

"Shall I say you're here? Or should I say it's been a while?

"... what a nostalgic look. Except for the color of the eyes and the wings of the machine, you remain the makina I know."

"Hehe."

Seeing Alice squeaking her eyes narrowly as she misses the past, the girl...... Makina laughs joyfully. Not as a god in one world, just to rejoice with my best friend as a makina......

"Is Question Time safe?

"Unfortunately, Alice's intellectual quest doesn't seem to be satisfied at information level IV."

"Well, that's troubling. I'm going to be questioned."

Safely exchanging words, the two walk over, approaching somewhat before stopping their feet as indicated.

"... so, are you sure you mean the Makina I know?

"Uh-huh, you could say that's right, or you wouldn't. It's definitely the makina you know that drives this body, but this body itself is a program called Motherbrain, code name Deus Ex Machina, the mechanical god... if you say so, it's like the main device I'm always connected to"

"... I see what you're moving is' Master Makina ', whose body itself is' Mother Brain Makina '... that's what Paradise (Eden) used to call it."

"Well, that's the thing. That said, this body itself is a copy of my body. By the way, the real me is... there it is."

That said, Makina floats in a white space, a black sphere... pointing to her heart core.

"I teach specially because they are Alice, but if my body in that sphere is' core and heart '... and my body in that sphere is killed, I... God named Makina will vanish. That's exactly my life."

"So that sphere is your weakness?

"But it's not like that. Even if you can see it this way, you basically can't interfere with and get to that sphere unless you completely defeat me, the Mother Brain. Yes, even I, the Almighty, am immortal... and Mother Brain is immortal for as long as the core exists... so that's my immortality."

"That's another theory that's going to give you a headache, like eggs first or chickens first."

Yes, you have to destroy the core in order to defeat Makina, but you cannot destroy the core unless you defeat Makina completely.

"With the exception of a complete argument like the end of the story (epilogue), there is no one who can defeat me..." Except one. "

"... me, is it?

"Yes, Alice is only one exception. With the key that I once entrusted to you, only you can use, you can reach a core that I can't even reach. Well, in that sense, Alice can say that I'm the only one who can defeat you positively."

"... well, I don't plan to use it at the moment"

"I wish I hadn't had a chance to use it all the time if I could..."

Fished by Alice, who smiles bitterly, Makina smiles bitterly, too. After laughing at each other for a little while as it was, Alice opened her mouth to switch stories.

"... Speaking of which, I got a lot of explanations until you got here, but you seem to be carrying a lot of noisy iron balls. Are you willing to start a war, too?

"You mean Naruto? No, I mean, I'm starting a war... I'm just reusing the leftovers."

"Yeah?"

"It was before I built my own world, though. Ever since Alice and I broke up, I've been enhancing my power as a god while studying around the world... not necessarily in every world. Sometimes it became a battle with the creators of that world. Well, I was pretty strong, so most of my opponents didn't have a problem... once I got into a battle with 'a hell of a strong enemy'"

Machina grins bitterly as she fingers her cheeks gently and looks somewhere tired remembering the battle at the time.

"Look, that's the guy I gave Alice before when I explained the power of Sharovanal."

"... a being with infinite identical beings in an infinite multidimensional universe and a power at the top of the Almighty, is it?

"Yeah, you're right...... he was really tough on smashing even among the opponents I fought. So, to counter the infinite homogeneity, I created and fought" The Infinite Almighty... "

"Infinite versus infinite battle, that's another story of a different dimension"

"You lacked decisiveness with each other. No matter how many he defeated, he kept coming back to life indefinitely, and the army of Nara (Tartarus) that kept being created indefinitely no matter how many he was defeated... you didn't have a hand in deciding the battle, and you ended up fighting for about '100 million years'. Then it would be more unfavourable to say 'truce' first, so it would be a comparison of patience."

"... so you won the patience comparison?

"You already know, isn't that a mean question?

"... do you mean 'the other person has come to an end'"

Yes, the end of that battle is just as I gave you an example at that time. The opponent, who was fighting Makina, ended every world by a phenomenon called Sharovanal.

If that's what you mean, it could also be described as a victory for Machina, who survived as a result.

"... that's when I first found out that Sharovanal existed. When I found out about it by all knowledge...... I was stunned, and more importantly, I couldn't wait to be horrified. An opponent who was mutual with me came to an end with clams without any resistance. If Shalovanal wasn't after me, he'd still tremble. Since then, I have become as fearful of the bottom of my heart Charovanal as any other creator of the world"

"Well, that power does seem like a hell of a lot. After seeing it at the party at Mr. Kate's house, I've been thinking about a bunch of countermeasures too... it's just ridiculous to conclude that 'I'm not hostile to Master Sharovanal'"

"By the way, if you look it up with all you know, you just know the answer is' there's no countermeasure '... back to that, but after the fight in that way, the slightly damaged Nara (Tartarus) just turns it off and uses it intact. Well, most individuals' store it in a dimension made exclusively '. If you want, say,' Shall I give you one? 'It's set to react to hostility and fight back on its own, so it's ideal for watchdogs... if you don't adjust properly or something, you'll erase every world..."

"I don't need it, it's a noisy iron ball"

After putting a light penetration into Makina's words, Alice shook her head gently to switch her mind before uttering the words again.

"... well, there's something else I'd like to ask you, do you want to separate it around here for once because it's going to run out of kiri"

"Right. You're way out of your original purpose... so get your mind back on track -"

"Do you want to eat!

"- Hmm?"

"No - after all I've heard and thought about it, I'm hungry. That's why I'd like some good food!

"... ugh, yeah"

I thought I'd just started training, and Alice had requested a meal first. Makina gave a frightened look, but nodded whether she understood it was useless to say it.

"Oh, but it's an unappetizing view, and change it to something good."

"Oh, that's a lot of orders"

Having heard Alice's words, Makina moved her hand around to stroke the space. Then the view, which was white, switches to slip.

The view was a large cloudy city lined with skyscrapers, and the place where the two were located had been transformed into a rooftop of a huge superskyscraper overlooking the city.

It should be quite tall, but I don't feel strong wind, and I can't hear the sound of whether the big cities are just scenery.

"... it's cloudy. It's not a nice view."

"That day was cloudy, too."

"Was it?"

"Yeah...... yes"

After a gentle exchange of words, Makina appeared a paper bag on hand and handed it to Alice. Alice, who received it, gave a slightly suspicious look and then checked the inside of her sitting bag on the rooftop edge of the building... she smiled lightly.

"... God prepared a meal called 'hamburger', which is something that some common gods used to do."

"You have no choice. I don't know any better food than that."

"Oh no? I thought you knew all about it.

"I know all about it, so I'm telling you. For me, the best food in the world is the hamburger."

In response to Alice telling him to tease, Makina smiled lightly, then also appeared a paper bag in her hand and sat down next to Alice.

And the two take the burger out of the paper bag and take a bite of it.

"... what a well, 'nostalgic flavor'"

"Yeah. Taste, scenery... all, I miss you"

"I don't know, is that worldless' lady in the island 'the god of one world now?"

"... because Alice is the only one on the island who says that."

There's some warm air flowing between the two of them laughing at each other like that.

"... hey, Alice... remember that 'promise' right then?

"I remembered..." To help me. "

"Yes, you did."

"What? Do you even want to talk about old times?

"That's good too... because I feel so nostalgic right now..."

Looking out at the thick cloud-covered sky, the girls blossom in memorabilia… "The Girl Called Hero" and "The Girl Who Wished to Be God" … their two, stories of encounter and promise….
