Two months passed instantly after Alicia and Makina met. Alicia and Makina, who began to stay on artificial islands in a way that made them half habitable, had a great time every day.

Some days Alicia took me out, like when I went to the amusement park, and some days I chatted with the two of us, playing games that Alicia had bought in an inland city, etc.

Now, two months later, things have changed a lot in Makina's house, where I was suspicious if I even had the minimum I needed.

However, even though we spend a lot of time together overwhelmingly, it doesn't mean we don't act separately. Alicia often went out every now and then in the middle of the night when Makina slept and came back with souvenirs in the morning.

Makina didn't care 'I guess she's doing what she said she was looking for'... but she's not, actually. Alicia has been doing some 'research' ever since she met Makina, and her going out on her own is mostly about that research.

And in the middle of the night, when the date was going to change completely today, Alicia was conceiving with her hands on her chin as she stared at her mobile device on the roof of a skyscraper.

(... Makina is in a slightly weird state. It's more like 'Don't let someone take it away from you' than scare away the power of that kid... I thought there was something to look into. Uh-huh.)

Looking at all the materials displayed, Alicia organizes the information with her exceptional thinking skills. Why is Makina isolated on that artificial island, and why is that artificial island so full of traps for anti-intruder interception by then... I was exploring the purpose of whoever did it.

(Surprised is Makina's father... a genius scientist who is said to have advanced a century of world technology. He disappeared from the table stage for over a decade... and the information gathered seems to be making a lot of suspicious moves now. Around the world, Sole also buys land that is said to be a border, or antiques that seem useless for a large sum of money......)

After thinking about it so much, Alicia had a serious look on her face as she saw the land thinking that Makina's father had bought it.

(... mostly devoid of land value. But what is it? Something caught on...... too irregular about how to buy. All this little land for what purpose... no, wait. Could this be!?

At first glance it looked like it was buying land around the world in pieces with no laws at all, but for Alicia the possibility has surfaced that it cannot be overlooked.

(... here and here. I knew it...... there is a land in the land I bought where 'Seven Star Warcraft' lived!

Seven Star Warcraft...... It is a warcraft with a misdigit strength that can even be said to have been produced by stars created by the magic accumulated over vast years in what is said to be the magic accumulation of the world. The monsters, also known as the living calamity......

It's just that it's already a story of the past. All the Seven Star Warcraft have been crusaded by none other Alicia, and the land, already said to be a magical accumulation, has also finished processing so that no new Warcraft can be created.

(... I defeated all the Seven Star Warcraft, and I didn't haunt you to leave a carcass that is a huge chunk of magic. But yes, for example... if you look deep into the ground, it is also possible to find one or two of the ore where the magic resides. And most of the stuff this guy buys and fishes are free antiques, but some magic seems to dwell on it)

It's the first time I've seen it here, what Makina's father does in common. Alicia hits in that direction and goes on to think as she looks at some more material.

(I collect magical objects. Assuming that's the case, what's his purpose? No way...... you have it? "Core Shards of the Great Evil God"......)

After thinking that far, Alicia moved her fingers to stroke the space softly and to the space created by space-time magic.

There was the tomb of those to whom she had spun her bond, and behind it was... something like a broken crystal ball.

It was once destroyed by Alicia, the hero of hope, when she defeated the great evil god of despair, the core of the great evil god...... the core shattered by Alicia's attack was scattered all over the world by the shock of the great evil god's extinction.

And Alicia was on her journey, a promise to Iris, and she was also collecting the shards she found.

(The fragments of the core I recovered are about 80%... it's not unlikely that I find the remaining 20% and possess them. No, you better think about it assuming you have it. But that's why when you ask me if it makes any sense to have a sole... nothing, right?

Yes, the shards of the Great Evil God's core are not in any danger to itself. The Great Evil God is already doomed, and at best it can be said to be something like 'a piece of glass that may still have only a small amount of the magic of God'.

That's not why Alicia in particular is in a hurry to collect it either. It's just that I'm recovering what I see on my journey because there's no chance that some factor will engage and develop into a case.

(It's not a game or cartoon. It's not like the Great Evil God will be resurrected after collecting pieces of the core of the Great Evil God. Even if I restore it, I don't think it's going to be anything more than a crystal ball where the great magic of the eyes resides, and most of it. The core can't be restored in more complete form than I have in the first place. So, what's Makina's father trying to do? You're mistaken that collecting them will bring the Great Evil God back to life? So give me something magical... Uh-huh, it doesn't stick)

The thought that came to mind once, the possibility of the resurrection of the Great Evil God, which can also be considered a former enemy... but there exists a part that cannot be explained then.

(Even if the goal is the resurrection of the Great Evil God or the resurrection of the Seven Star Warcraft, that makes me uncomfortable with the current state of Makina. That's why Makina's power should be important in the 'search phase', but she's not using Makina's power to collect magical objects. I don't know, I can't really relate to the current state of Makina and the magical stuff. I'm just thinking too much, and there's no connection whatsoever between collecting magical objects and Makina?

After thinking that far, Alicia shook her neck to the side to change her mind and moved her hand again back from the special space to the rooftop of the building.

(Well, as we continue to investigate... Tomorrow, no. Today already... I wonder what souvenirs I'll buy back to Makina. I'd be happier with something Makina doesn't know very well... well... don't know... wait)

Along with the feeling of puzzle pieces meshing in his head with Kachili, Alicia began to think again at a dizzying rate by sharply changing her expression.

(Blind spot, no, it was a pit. I know both magic and magic. But in the world, fairy tales... the technology of magic has already been lost from the world. There can also be a good chance that Makina's father 'doesn't know about magic'. Yes, change your mind. I don't know that magic resides in what I collect... but what if I only realized that 'some mysterious power resides'? If you "mistake magic for something else"......)

Alicia retrieves her mobile device again and operates it at a tremendous rate. The technology she has acquired over the years of her journey is diverse, some of which are super advanced hacking techniques.

I went through the database with some around it......

(Among the items bought all over, especially those purchased by Makina's father packed with large sums of money...... certified as "Holy Relics". Holy relics, the power of God... what comes to mind as a possibility is the resurrection of the dead, eternal life, world domination, evolution to superman... all classic, but not very firm...... but kind of zawazawa. This feeling should not be ignored in experience... more details, information about Makina's father... yeah? This...)

Alicia stares at you to stop the fingers you were moving at high speed and eat in the information displayed on your device. That was information on a proposal that Makina's father had submitted to his own sponsor, the bourgeoisie, some time before he disappeared from the tabular stage.

It seemed that it could not be instantly dismissed and obtained a loan...... the proposal was left as data.

(... "The Artificial God Manufacturing Plan"... That's a ridiculous title. All I can think of is this proposal going insane. In fact, it's being dismissed instantly, and finally, Makina's father is disappearing from the front stage. The content is also disjointed, I don't think a well-known scientist wrote it. It's a bad occult and crude work... but this one sentence, "God of salvation with the power to see the world"... if you think the power to see the world is thousand-eyed... I care. a little more, let's investigate in this direction)

It was usually a laugh, but Alicia was worried about Sole's proposal. I close the terminal and look up at the sky once, trying to find out a little more.

The night sky was covered in dark, thick clouds, as if to reveal her moaning heart.

In a simple building on a quiet artificial island, Makina was reading a book. The book Alicia brought me was very interesting and I kept reading it until late at night when the dates changed.

Just about time I tried to sleep and closed the book, and Machina, who looked inside the house, spilled a single laugh.

You can say there's nothing on this island, you can say there's nothing in this house... nothing. I'm just living. It's been going on for over a decade. That's what's changed a lot in just two months......

Until Alicia and I met, there were no books, games or other preferences in this house. Until I met Alicia, Makina never went outside the island.

Until I met Alicia...... I never felt so lonely for one night.

Can't wait for the night to dawn. I can't wait to welcome Alicia back with a bright smile with an unusual souvenir.

I heard a helicopter in Makina's ear trying to get ready to sleep, feeling the warmth of her happy chest somewhere...

Immediately activating the force of the thousand eyes, a few large transport helicopters were on this island... about to descend slowly in front of Makina's house.

While confused by his first situation, Makina leaves the house. Then...... a huge container suspended in a few helicopters was dropped off a short distance from Makina's house, followed by one helicopter landing after another.

And from the helicopter came a dozen men in white. The only familiar face... is one man at the head.

"... finally the time has come! Tonight, God is done!!

Makina watched the man in white screaming with a crazy grin, just with an emotionless eye. I don't know what you're talking about, what's the purpose of it, what's the giant container... Sometimes I wonder.

But more than that... I was uncomfortable with the eyes of a man who looked in the light of a helicopter. Not at all like Alicia, I haven't seen Makina... No, I haven't 'seen Makina as Makina' correctly. Eyes as if looking at parts of the machine.

Machina thinks as if she were some other HR, remembering the feeling that her heart, which was so happy because of it, was going to cool down.

Oh, I knew this man was a father - that 'seemingly' was enough...

And at the same time, I was glad it was a dark night when I couldn't see the stars, so I thought. Because I didn't want this opponent to soil the starry sky I saw from this island I looked up with Alicia......

The men got to work as soon as they found Makina. If you had even stepped into the house, you would have noticed that there are more items that shouldn't have been possible, but for them, Makina is nothing but parts for the creation of an artificial god, and there is no point in entering the house if you are here.

An artificial god put outside from a huge container...... a machine with a huge black sphere at the center of the body, somewhat designed to mimic an angel about 15 m in size.

By the men who were ready quickly, Makina was placed in a black sphere...... inside the core of God. Makina, who realized it was pointless to resist, obeys it with great care.

There is nothing particularly in the core, just a dark space...... it moves to the freedom of Makina's body, and there is nothing suspicious about it. There was nothing like clapping it out.

But at the moment when Makina's father declared the activation and the core glowed for a moment, Makina gave a scream of agony.

"Ugh... ahhh!?!?

It's a turbulence of emotion if you want to express it. Information pouring into my head… emotions all over the world. Suffering, hatred, sadness, anger… a tremendous amount of emotion ran through Makina's head.

The original concept is the salvation of the world… God, created with the aim of erasing suffering and sorrow from the world, uses the power of Makina to collect negative emotions around the world.

How much is that? It is also an absurd number to describe the billions of people who live in the world alone, not only the present but also the past, and no longer even living beings who are not human.

Will just people accept such an overwhelming amount of information... No, it can't be accepted. That is why God's core protects Makina's body by the immense magic that fills its interior. Don't let it break... but that's only to keep the parts from breaking.

There is no consideration for Machina's pain, which suffers from information that makes her brain burn out. Makina holds her head about to explode and rolls around in the core of nothing.

It felt like being anointed. Thoughts made my mind feel... crushed by negative emotions all over the world and even my vision stained black.

Thinking of the feeling that I would disappear into a turbulent stream of information that no longer even had the power to make a distressing voice, but still wouldn't stop... Makina thought of a friend who wasn't here.

(...... painful...... my head...... my heart...... burns out...... with emotions overflowing the world...... i get anointed...... help...... alisi......)

It's just one person in the world for her, just one person...... who can call her name for help.

"... Alisi... a..."

On the roof of a building stained with darkness at night, Alicia wore her head as she walked over the screen of her mobile device.

(Uh-huh. I know you're collecting a lot of material trying to make God, but I don't know where the key is. If this were the case, I would have built a better information network or something)

She was basically a casual traveler around the world, and unless that was the problem with the level of crisis in the world, she would not invest specifically in gathering information.

Anyway, she is overwhelmingly the strongest in this world. I could deal with just about enough to hit it off, and I'm not in this world, such as being able to harm her in the first place.

She still didn't need so much intelligence gathering power at this time, she was struggling to gather information on the Artificial God.

(Well, don't you even panic so much? Given the material and all, it's a good place to make a degraded seven-star warcraft at best. It would be a threat to humanity's doomsday class to the public, but the quantity and quality of the material is too insufficient to create a level of existence that I struggle with. In the meantime, if I show up, can I just smash it? Well, then, I'm tired of researching things for a long time, and eating something light in a 24-hour store and a souvenir for Makina - ugh!?

Having concluded so, Alicia stretched her body to relax and then tried to get down from the roof of the building to the city for a night meal.

But at that moment her body... no, my heart pulsed hard.

"... Hekatonkale is responding. Is there something wrong with Makina?

Alicia's heart is inhabited by hekatonkail, a heart specializing in bonding. The hecaton kale... the spinning bond is telling Alicia strongly - that something happened to Makina...

"Damn! Makina!?"

Alicia jumps instantly and kicks in the air hard as it is to accelerate. In one step we tear the walls of the air, in two steps we leave the sound behind and head to an artificial island where there is a maquina in a straight line.

Now, with regret that I had left Makina in the city at this time......

God of man-made...... light dwells in the eyes of an angel of the machine. That means, in other words, the completion of the artificial God. Machina's father, who understood it, screams with his hands wide open with a smile of joy.

"Finally, oh, finally... God is done! Finally, the world will be saved!!

The cheer that goes up to follow that declaration. The joyous voice of those who gathered together in the same spirit as men...... with it on their backs, the man weeps.

Finally, finally... the time has come to finally be free from the pain, grief and pain that has never been healed for more than a decade...

"... Come on, God! Save us, save the world! Erase your grief, your suffering, from this world!!

A man with a heart for joy he had never felt since he lost his wife and a wish...... that became his' last word '. The artificial god put his machine hands on the man, and with the flash emitted from it, he erased the man without a trace.

The artificial god waves the hand of the machine horizontally towards the silence he visits after a moment of roaring, towards his fellow men whose thoughts do not follow and stiffen what happened.

Then the flash was emitted again, more than a dozen people and several helicopters extinguished by the flash.

Fault or runoff? No, you're not. The Artificial God, rightly, descended as God. And the Artificial God did hear the wishes of Makina's father… his Creator and acted to fulfill the sole.

The Artificial God Manufacturing Plan was a success. However, if only there was the biggest miscalculation...... would it have been too successful? The God they created was too godly for that thought. There is no human emotion there, and no consideration exists that creases to the depths of the wish.

Erase the pain from the world, erase the grief... it's easy.

From the world - 'All you have to do is erase all living beings with emotions'.

If those with emotions are gone from the world, no one will suffer, no one will grieve. When the peaceful world desired by his Creator was completed... the Artificial God concluded so.

True, that's also in a way...... maybe it's salvation. Well, that's never the world Machina's father wanted. But no artificial god ever realizes it.

God just moves to fulfill the purpose of saving the world.

The power of an artificial god is mighty, using every magical object in the material, housing the shards of God that once existed in the core, and created with the highest technology.

So much so that the armies of every country in this world would not be enemies in bundles...... that in just one day we would be able to wipe out all emotional lives from the world.

And the artificial god spread the wings of the machine, trying to plunge them for world salvation...... stopped the movement. Because I sensed some proximity... and shortly afterwards, I tore a thick cloud apart and a meteor flew in.

"... Spin the bond! Hekatonkail!!"

Oh, God's done, indeed. The Artificial God had only the power to save the world. If we had gone as it were, the Artificial God would have saved the world as the Creator wished.

However, it… is the story of the absence in this world of the hero of hope - Alicia - who once defeated the Great Evil God of Despair and saved the world.

Covering numerous meteor-like lights, Alicia lands in front of an artificial god with an angry caged look. Then open your mouth with two knives, white and black in your hand, one of which is directed at the Artificial God.

"An iron crumb full of Tsugi Hagi takes in my friends and God willing... don't get too on with it, Pong Tip... Makina, get it back!

Seeing Alicia declare so with a sharp eye, the Artificial God instantly entered the offensive posture. Too fast an attack action may be caused by the magic of the Great Evil God and the Seven Star Warcraft, which are material in creating the Artificial God.

I know magic without will. The presence in front of us is that Alicia is… a powerful man in an area with a different dimension than the man-made God….

The flash emitted from both arms, the light of death in the name of salvation that wiped out its own Creator and his companions without a trace. It was easily torn apart by the knife Alicia wielded.

And in the next moment, Alicia went beyond the recognisable speed of the artificial god in a step easy and cut off both his arms.

But that's about it, God doesn't stop. A chopped arm changes like liquid metal, creating an arm that doesn't hit instantly. At the same time the Artificial God spread his wings and flew up to the sky.

I didn't run away. They tried to intercept Alicia not over a narrow artificial island, but over a wide open sky. For Alicia, who flew up after the artificial god, the flashing rain pours... but it is also torn apart by a knife wielded at an awesome rate.

(Was the arm regenerated by the power of the Mercury Beast as one of the Seven Star Warcraft? But it's still weak... more than an ancient dragon, only less than the Seven Star Warcraft)

Alicia circles her thoughts as she swirls around the artificial god who keeps flashing from her arms and wings as she plays the attack. As she expected, the power of the artificial god is not at a level that can be called a threat from Alicia's point of view.

If that's just the extent to which it ends in an instant...... then there is another factor that the fight is still going on......

(Makina, in that central sphere... as far as the flow of magic is concerned, is forced into that crap with immense magic that is not via the surgical ceremony. Normally if I destroy that sphere, it will damage the connected makina as well...)

Yes, the factor that Alicia is attacking was Makina's presence in the core. Damage can also be inflicted on the makina if attacking the core in a detour.

(But that's why I can't keep avoiding attacks like this. Even if I have no problem at all, there will still be serious damage to the spirit of Makina......)

The artificial god's attack is not a big deal, even if it lasted all day, it would never reach Alicia. But then, the spirit of Makina, which will continue to suffer, does not hold.

If so, we must aim for a short-term showdown......

(Unlocking that cluttered magic bond at high speed and rescuing only Makina intact is difficult with my skill right now...)

And that's all I thought about, Alicia grinned furiously.

(What. Can't I do anything right now? Can't you save Makina? I don't know... "You're no different now")

A strong will dwells in Alicia's eyes. Yeah, that's the way it always is. She is by no means an invincible being at birth, nor an all-powerful superman.

I've bumped into difficulties more than once, and I've gotten over it. Yes, what she can't do right now is not an obstacle.

"... same as always! If you can't be 'me now', you can be 'me who can do it'!!

Along with declaring so, Alicia kicks in the air and ascends even higher into heaven. And every meteor she wraps around is sucked into Alicia's body.

"This is it - this is the moment - the ultimate of my heart! Beyond the limit - spin the world now! - Hekatonkail!!

When its body emitted light as it echoed Alicia's voice, and its light reached a critical point… the sun of hope descended, pushing through the darkness of the night.

Alicia, wrapped around the brilliant light, kicked the universe again and headed straight for the Artificial God as she blew out the dark clouds.

Machina's mind, which continued to be exposed to numerous negative emotions in the dark core, was no longer in what could be termed a wind front light. His sight, his heart, even his soul were anointed black.

No more pain, no more room to think. It was just terribly cold...... I still couldn't stop wondering how long I would stop feeling that cold on negative emotions pouring in, and I learned just a little bit of fear, but even that drives me away by numerous emotions.

If you just close your eyes and kill your heart, maybe it'll be easier. But still, only a little, as small as the shards... in Makina's mind... there was still hope of Alicia.

Is that why, to the light felt shortly after...... Makina raised her face in the dark.

(... light... warm and gentle... oh, this is emotion... 'light of hope'...)

The light delivers warmth to the heart of Makina, which was chilling out, and awakens its soul a little by little.

(Oh yeah... it's not just pain and sadness that fills the world. I gave it to her...... Alicia taught me)

Power into the trembling body, Makina desperately reaches for the light she doesn't even know where she's plugging from. I don't know why, I don't have a basis. But I could be sure Alicia would be ahead of this light.

"... Alicia"

Almost at the same time that the name of hope for her was spun, someone grabbed the extended hand powerfully. No, someone, etc... it's a clear story.

"Makina!"

"Huh!? Alicia!!

Strong hands are drawn, and the makina is pulled out of the core with a slight floating sensation.

"Sorry I kept you waiting"

"Yeah...... glad you're here"

Seeing Alicia as if each of her hair was glowing and wrapped around her whole body, Makina felt so beautiful with relief.

The light that Alicia wrapped around was supposed to be pretty strong, but she didn't feel the glare, but rather seemed to convey only warmth. And Makina soon understood that this brilliance was the light that lifted herself out of the darkness.

(This brilliance of Alicia makes the future... a light of hope for happiness. It's so warm and reassuring)

Alicia smiles tenderly, holding Machina with one hand as she reaches out.

"Well, the captured princess helped out safely too, and now if the princess could even kiss me on the cheek, I'd be safe and happy... well, before I do, let's get rid of the crap"

"Huh? Ah..."

When Machina moved her face when she heard Alicia's words, she saw the angel of the machine that was destroying her core and falling...... the figure of an artificial god.

Haven't they completely shut down yet, or they were trying to reach out and emit light from it as they fell. Unlike Alicia's wrapped light, the flash of merciless destruction...

But sooner than it was released, Alicia hoisted a white knife in heaven. Then, with the high vibrating sound, the light of hope converges on that knife.

"... Piers Hope!

The light of hope emitted also seemed like a shooting star ripping the darkness of night out of heaven. A shooting star surrounded by warm light easily smashes the flash of destruction and extinguishes the god of an unnamed machine created by man's hand.

After confirming that the Artificial God had completely disappeared, Alicia regained the body of Makina she held with one hand in the form of a princess hug and told her in some light tone with a bright smile on her face.

"I don't know, I'm living an aggressive life anyway."

"Hehe, yeah. Right. It's really like a fairy tale."

"... anywhere painful?

"Yeah, I'm fine...... but I guess it's because I'm relieved, I'm a little tired"

Makina turns her hand around Alicia's neck and smiles with a reassuring look. There was pain, there was spiciness... but now, yes, more than that, her heart was filled with joy.

"... really, really... I'm glad Alicia came and helped"

"It's obvious. Even if I was behind the world, I did everything I could... because Makina is my best friend."

"... yeah!

Makina was nobody else and wanted Alicia to come and help. And the wish arrived, and Alicia showed up to help her. I couldn't help but be happy with that.

"... Alicia is my hero."

"Yeah, I'd like you to at least say heroin there. I'm still young... not to mention I'm a maiden. Request a change!

"Uh-huh... after all, heroes are better suited than heroines. 'Cause, Alicia, it's cool. Therefore, the change has been rejected"

"Oh, my God..."

"Hehe."

"... haha"

On a sky higher than a cloud, the two girls laugh brightly at each other. So that we can bite off the happiness we're having together right now...

After laughing for a moment as it was, Fu and Alicia noticed something and spoke to Makina in a kind voice.

"... look, Makina... it's dawn"

"Wow... that's beautiful"

A dazzling sun climbing ahead of the two gazes, illuminating the sea of clouds. It also seemed to celebrate a new beginning.

"... Well, whatever. This settles one case. Looks like Makina's tired, too, and it's about time -"

"Alicia."

"- Yeah?"

It was Alicia who spoke to me about going back, but shortly afterwards they call me by my name and turn to Makina. Makina then brings her face closer to Alicia in a flowing natural motion......

"-Chu."

... kissed her cheeks, touching her gently.

"Hey!? Whoa, blah!?

Totally unexpectedly, Alicia stepped off her feet in the air with the wrong control of the procedure, but managed to stay on.

And in a rare and rather hasty way, he yells at Makina.

"Yes, all of a sudden, Nathan Makina!?

"... Now, 'Happy Ending', right?

……

Alicia erupted after a moment of kyotong when Makina told her with a laugh on her face like a prank had succeeded.

"...... pu, haha! Speaking of which, you said that. Yeah, you're right. Now no complaints...... you have a happy ending!
