Amoc and I broke up. I wandered around the city in a state of shock.
The magic that Amoc taught me earlier allowed me to gain the means to take my soul out of a person's body.
Later, if we can find a way to transfer the soul we took out without extinguishing it, we can save Alicia.
It also seems like we're approaching one more step, and that step is far away. This journey has been elusive to the wizards of different worlds for generations.
In the first place, my knowledge of magic tends to be practical, and the theory is completely out of place. I was honest to say that I couldn't even tell where to start looking for a way.
What if I can't find him like this...?
I look down and look at my hands.
The hand in sight was tiny and luxurious - I repeated it by holding it open without any particular significance.
I don't hate any means to save Alicia... I've been thinking about that for a long time.
But the fact that I actually had the option of saving Alicia in exchange for my life made me think again.
Return this body to Alicia.
I have no objection to that in itself... I think we should do so.
But that means my presence disappears.
- What comes to mind behind my brain is the faces of my family and friends.
A smile filled with mother's mercy.
Yuna's reassuring smile.
Father's man smells like a smile.
Emerald tears I saw at the funeral, Ethereal tears.
I don't know how sad my family is about me.
But Yuna told me that while I was missing my life and death, my smile was lost and the air was sinking in the dark.
My choice will be to make my family experience losing their family again.
…… how cruel is that?
If you think about it, if you can even throw your life out to save Alicia, you won't be able to say it without hesitation.
- And I remember.
My earliest memories of when I was only a few in the other world.
A smile filled with Alicia's sad determination towards me.
Wouldn't my choice trample her resolve like that?
I had a feeling that if I told Alicia about it, she would make my life a priority over mine.
If I respect her will, should I live...?
"... that's why Alicia's soul can't be lost"
I hold my hand tightly on my chest. [M]
This body belongs to Alicia, and it makes sense to give it back to her.
You can't allow me to take away the happiness she was supposed to get from me and live.
I'm not just using my family and her as an excuse to justify what I don't want to die for...
"Mr. Alice......?
Suddenly I was called by name and looked up.
The man who stopped me was Ryoka Hashimoto, a member of the club.
"...... what's wrong?
He looked at me worried.
"Uh... the... nothing..."
"It's nothing. It's not my face... and I can't even look at my feet like that. What do you want me to do, call Yuna?
"Yes, no! Fine. Sorry, now........."
I don't know what to look like to my family.
"…… So why don't you come to my apartment?
"No, I'm sorry…………………."
Even though I don't live alone, I can't believe I'm going to a woman's room.
"You can't leave Alice in her current state alone. Don't worry, rely on it."
I decided to sweeten myself to the words of cool flowers.
"Either you or your loved ones are the only ones who can help you, are you… it's a hard choice."
Cool flowers who listened to me all the way spilled that sentiment.
Cool Flowers, who knew what was going on in my body and had a weak connection when I was a few people, was the perfect person to talk to.
"I want to save Alicia, I want this body back. So I think I should take my soul out."
"Is Mr. Alice going to come to a conclusion without consulting Mr. Alicia?
"…… I don't know. But if I tell Alicia, maybe I'm against sacrificing myself."
"That might be..."
"What am I supposed to do..."
"Yes, you are."
Cool flowers think with their hands on their mouths.
"Hey, Mr. Alice. Duel, shall we?
"Hmm......?
I couldn't figure out what they said for a moment and I got a distracted voice.
"Uh... oh, yeah... fine..."
Surprised by the abrupt suggestion, I take the deck case out of my school bag.
Cool flowers spread out the folding table and provided us with playing space, so we each shuffled the deck and put it on the table.
The game begins by deciding to strike back ahead with a die roll.
Proceed with a pale turn in the behavior we are used to with each other.
Cool flowers have grown much stronger over the past few months with special training. Even me and my pale opponents are almost ready to fight each other.
I stopped my hand touching the card and Cool Flower opened his mouth.
"How about deciding what Alice is going to do with the win or loss of this game?
"Oh no............!?
If I win, if I live, if I lose, Alicia lives... Is that what this is all about?
This is ridiculous. It's no joke that Duel's results will determine the future.
"Alice couldn't seem to decide because she was worried… Alice is the one who decides."
At the same time, he declared an attack on me with his creature.
I choose which creature to attack.
From the beginning to the middle, it was a somewhat unfavourable development.
However, at the end of the day, it was reworked with a paper weight difference and finally came to the point where it was handy.
If I win this, Alicia - I stop and think.
Declare the attack and my victory will be confirmed.
On the contrary, if you pass the turn to the coolflower without attacking like this, on the contrary, I will be defeated.
Should I finish my turn like this if I'm going to keep Alicia alive?
... No, I can't. I can't do that.
Duel's victory and loss cannot be changed for out-of-game reasons.
It's blasphemy against the game to do that.
"Attack."
My subordinate creatures attack the cool flowers.
"I lost... wow..."
"... sorry, coolflower. I knew Duel wouldn't decide."
I apologize to Coldflower.
Winning or losing the game will not determine my future.
"That's obvious. So that the end of the game can only be found in the game, the only way to reach a conclusion with Alicia is through discussions with Alicia."
Cool flowers say as gently as they teach me.
"You should talk to Alicia properly. It's too solitary to ignore her will and say it's for her."
"That's true… Sorry, Coldflower."
Cool Flowers is right.
Just because you disagree doesn't mean you can't talk.
"Besides, with Alicia's help, you might find a way to help both of us. That's what comes first, isn't it?
Coldflower concluded so, stood up in large measure.
There are signs of you squatting in the back diagonal past me sitting down.
"… but I'm glad you relied on me."
And then, basically, he turned his arm around from his back and held me back. Is it shampoo?... the smell of flowers drifts from the cool flowers.
"Hey!? Cool Flowers, what are you doing? - Oh, I said it's on!?
The presence of the bispherical sphere hitting the back is enough to say that it is violent.
Well, Cool Flower doesn't change her complexion one by one, so she won't let me go.
"It's happening. Isn't it Alice who told me that she would be happy?"
"Well, that's true…………………"
I was the one who advised on how to color tricks that seemed to work for Ethereum.
"What do you say, were you feeling a little better?
Is Cool Flowers saying that he knows if the nani of the man who did this is going to get better......? I don't have a sole anymore.
"Well, it's a problem to make such a man other than Ethereum..."
Yes. I tried to keep doing that. My words were blocked by cool flowers.
"No problem. Because I've already been shaken by Mr. Ethereum."
"Shaken, what... Huh!?
I can't hide my agitation in a shocking confession.
"On Valentine's Day, Ethereum replied."
"Oh, no... why...?
Ethereum must not have hated Cold Flowers.
I've heard a lot about the house and the future, but if they think of each other, we can get over it. That's what I thought...
"I wasn't the one who thought of Mr. Aether, so I had no choice."
"… well. To the pale, such a person………"
I didn't know.
Then why didn't you talk to me?
There is also a lot of water odor.
... No, I was close to both Cold Flowers, so I can't help but say it.
"So it's okay. Let me indulge in Alice's comfort."
Emerald and Yuna are casually skinning at me, but they envied the cool flowers. Still, I think it's a problem to stick to me, the man, easily.
Even if I said it like that, Cool Flowers kept me in his arms and there was no sign of ever letting me go.
"Haa… I would like to run for Mr. Alice, as others have done."
"Wh, do what…………!?
I get upset by the words that the cool flowers spilled, as whispered in my ear.
"What do you say? Alice likes her breasts bigger."
Why is that happening... why?
"I understand... because Mr. Alice looks at women's breasts well. At first I thought it was something to admire... but I was convinced when I heard it was a man."
…… let's be careful.
"…, but I have Alicia………."
Your chest is delightful but honestly troublesome.
It is not good to discourage women's relations any more.
Especially now we're alone in the coolflower room, and if she forced me to, I wouldn't be able to resist.
Cool Flowers is panicking. See how I look. Smile,
"……… just kidding."
So I let go of that abundant body.
"And no matter how many men I hear, it seems to me that Mr. Alice is only a woman."
"……… Huh?
She said she only looks like a woman even though she knows it's a man...
I think I heard my identity as a man falling apart.
"…… Maybe that guy too."
Therefore, I never noticed the meaning of the words added by Cool Flowers.
