"Master Lisa. Can you say that once you get the wrong answer, the next time you get it right?

In response to a sudden divine son inquiry, Lisa said with a bitter smile.

"Hey, shall we walk?"

The snow, which began to fall last night, was dyeing the city white.

Nevertheless, rather than being cold, it was a sight to feel somewhere glamorous, like powdered sugar that had been brought down to the colors of the decorative cake.

It's not hard enough to walk yet, and it's a good idea to take a walk and enjoy the difference in landscape from normal.

Silently, they often walked side by side with Lisa and Shinko, and they reached the square along the boulevard.

"Well, there's a snowman over here, too."

"I miss you. I used to make wasps with friends when I was little."

Kids were even snowmen in the square. There's a little bit of mud mixed up because there's not enough snow yet, but it's quite a force.

You watched such a sight and immersed yourself in a smiling mood, and Lisa must have decided it was a good time too.

"By the way, how do you know if you weren't there then?

and raised questions about the earlier question.

Lisa also has a ninety percent guess that the "wrong" thing is about the confession, but it seems she dared to decide to come in from a far-fetched confirmation in case it was different.

"I'm sorry. Actually..."

Well, it's not a mistake or anything, and Shinko is talking about Arre on an example theater boat. As for peeps. I'm not willing to blame you any more than I honestly admitted this way...... or Lisa can't rebuke someone else's behavior because she's doing it differently too.

Anyway, Lisa, who was able to confirm beyond saying that it was about that time, groaned bitterly.

"That was... yeah, you couldn't"

I said no to regret or reflection, but that pain is still jiggly painful deep in Lisa's heart. I've managed to look forward, but that doesn't mean I didn't make a mistake then.

"You could go wrong again next time"

"... I guess so"

The point of the Divine Son was a very painful one for Lisa.

"I made a mistake once, so I'll never make a mistake next time," Lisa couldn't say for sure like that. Whether you should say that attitude is calm or timid is a subtle thing.

Lisa has tried twice before to give up on the Demon King.

The first time, when I first returned to Japan.

The second time, on a theater boat the other day.

The first decision would have been easier in a way now that I think about it.

At that time, Lisa still never thought she would be free to come and go between the two worlds as she is today. There was a big thing on one of the scales called Hope Town Mind, so I didn't have to make a decision with just the weight of pure love. There was a push for the reason that "then there's no choice".

But for the second time, such restrictions were removed, and thoughts on purer demon kings were to be questioned.

What was on the balance plate at this time?

The height of the hurdle that the other person is a resident of another world. Friendship with Alice, or hindsight. They are all important elements, but happiness or unhappiness, they were not decisive.

It was Lisa's failure the last time she saw it wrong to put them all together and put them on one side of the scale, which would weigh enough to give up the Demon King, a reason why she could convince herself.

"What are you going to do next?

The Divine Son looked into Lisa's eyes and asked.

Whatever happens to the outcome beyond the already decided engagement of the Demon King and Alice, i.e. the time limit exists, perhaps the next action will be Lisa's last chance.

If you miss that, you can no longer even make a mistake.

"… Next, I am"

Lisa often meditated and thought, and mouthed answers to the divine son's questions.
