There is a saying that falls to your heart.

The question that has been caught in the corner of my head for so long dissolves softly with some trigger.

Although it may be more accurate to say "I fell" than "I fell" if it represents Alice's mood at this time.

"I get it" instead of "I get it".

Solving a problem does not necessarily lead to convincing in a emotional sense.

Rather, it is only the beginning of a new, even more difficult question -.

◆ ◆ ◆

Once the Demon King abruptly expressed his daily gratitude, Lisa began to cry.

That would be the case if we were to depict the situation as objectively as possible at this time.

But why did Lisa zero tears?

The reason for this was not even known to Lisa herself at the time.

I'm still weeping, but I'm not particularly crying, I'm putting my hands on my eyes and making them seem strange.

The demon king right in front of her and all the other faces who noticed the anomaly are upset, but the person in question is an out-of-the-box calm.

No pain, no pain, no sadness, I'm just glad.

And yet I even remembered the odd pleasure of crying.

So only one person knew more about Lisa's condition than she did at this time.

Alice, there was only one person who realized why Lisa was crying. I was noticing.

"So you were"

I feel a long time ago, that confession on the sky.

Why she represented Alice's love heart with a voice as sad as tearing herself apart.

The answer to that question, which has always been in the corner of my mind, was inadvertently understood.

Maybe so, not as an ambiguous suspicion, but as an absolute certainty.

How did Lisa's tears lead to her secret thoughts?

I guess Alice herself can't explain logically about that.

If I were to say so, if I could tell the Demon King how grateful I am, I might cry the same way. Empathy on such an assumption.

And more than that, the glow of Lisa's eyes.

The kind of consciousness directed at the Demon King was clearly not just that of friendship, but rather full of strange affection that I had never noticed before.

That's two things that Alice herself turns to the Demon King. It was like looking in the mirror.

Alice wondered for a few moments what she was going to do when she realized that

"Go ahead."

And I offered a handkerchief to Lisa, who was still crying with a strange face.

"Oh, thank you"

"No......"

Alice herself was surprised.

Positively deceived, exasperated to be betrayed, angry isn't strange, but it doesn't, and on the contrary, I can't believe I care about an angry subject.

Alice knows best that that's not tolerance or marginal behavior.

How jealous, unconfidential and incomplete you are yourself is painfully stained.

And yet, why?

Questions that fill the chest and still keep springing up.

There are countless things you don't understand.

But... Still, all Alice had to do now was decide.

"Demon King, and all of you."

"Alice?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving here for a little while, so can you keep getting ready?"

Alice gently touched Lisa's cheek after wiping her tears,

"I... have to talk to Lisa a a little bit."

Speak to the rabbit or to the corner.

Having a conversation without breaking your belly and not covering it up and not lying or falsely.

That was Alice's and Lisa's, ever neglected, and now it's time to do it.
