A Misunderstood Mentor

The light flooding the terminal dyes everything white, and [she] disappears from the screen and its background.

A few seconds later, the light subsided and the DVD player showed a view of the mountain where the surrounding trees were broken and bald.

"... not Mount Bolt. Where's the mountain?"

Natural disaster?

She stands alone with a cool face in a place where there was a strong typhoon.

It's true that she came to me from the terminal.

But apparently, it was another mountain that arrived first.

"What is she doing?" Are you looking at the ground? "

Her gaze is facing down, but the monitor on the screen does not reflect it.

As she wonders what she's looking at, she turns her gaze towards me again and smiles.

"Gu, it's a coincidence, Nagisa." She and I have the same eyes. "

"Oh, it's not normal." This is the one that was recorded. "

That said, Nagisa didn't hide her agitation.

Just like me, she's trembling at the sight of her monitor.

"Chi-chi"

Nurlahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The DVD footage gradually moved toward her feet.

"Tamisaaahn, that's it!"

What's in there?

The giant Layant also peers into my DVD player from behind.

"Huh!?"

I was the only one who spoke up.

Everyone else is looking at the screen like they're getting in, with a serious face.

At her feet, someone was lying in the dust.

I couldn't see my face, but I couldn't have missed the long, beautiful blonde hair.

I'm at her feet.....

"Alice!!"

I know it's a recording, but I still call out loud.

Unsurprisingly, Alice didn't respond to the voice.

"Was she seeing her?" No way, Alice! Has he been defeated!? "

Even that Azatose couldn't have won without using me! Did she defeat herself?!

Alice, lying down like she's burned out, can't feel the vitality at all.

Alice looked down at her with a cool face, without disturbing her breath.

"Stupid! Alice! You shouldn't lose so easily!!"

Even though I yelled, I thought she was the one.

An invisible, creepy force seemed to be overflowing from her body.

And even more.

The Layant in the back uttered an impossible word.

"Tamisu, do you know?" This Alice is a person. "

Huh?

Are you too big to remember?

No, no matter what, it's impossible for Lyant to forget Alice.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Alice taught you that Layant came here, didn't she? You've been a disciple to Alice before me, right?

"Huh? What is that?" I've never been a disciple to anyone other than Takumisaan, I don't know. "

What's that supposed to mean?

Your memory of Alice is completely lost!?

Na, Nagisa and Nurhachi know Alice, don't they?

"Huh? I've never heard of it."

Chi-chi-chi?

Oh, you're kidding? The two of you look strange and blow your necks together.

Nagisa and Nurhachi are still forgetting about Alice!

What the hell is going on!?

"Ah, it's Alice." Anyway, Nagisa, you've known Nurhachi for a long time. I was picking it up and throwing a party with you in the Demon King's Great Labyrinth (Labyrinth). "

"Chhh, chhh!"

Nurhachi shook his neck violently to the side, then put a small hand on my forehead.

Chi-chi?

Mm, I'm worried!

You think I'm crazy!?

"Don't panic, Takumi. Nobody's gone crazy."

The girl in the screen clearly looked at me and called out.

Is this really a video!?

"I've been worried about this girl for a long time. It was the only limiter in the world that came off. Such bugs should never happen."

Is the limiter off? Bug?

Sure, I think Shiro and Kuro were saying that before.....

"It's invisible, but everyone in this world has a level set." Even human beings called heroes have a limit of about fifty. Even heroes and demon kings don't have 99 or more. "

"Level? Then it's like..."

It reminds me of a video game I was playing when I was skipping out in the other world.

"But this girl doesn't have that limit." As many levels as you can, you can be stronger everywhere. Don't you think that's a bit cheating? "

While saying that, she reaches out to Alice, who is lying down.

A tremendous, unpleasant premonition runs down your back.

"Wait, what were you going to do!!"

Even though it was a recorded video, her hand stopped twitching with my voice.

No, it's not the time to worry about that right now.

"... I'm sorry, but I'll do something that didn't exist." Everyone else doesn't recognize Alice anymore. If I erase it completely, you'll forget it too, Takumi. "

Permanently erase Alice?

Are you going to erase not only life, but even the memory of Alice from this world!?

"No, please don't!" I'll do anything! How dare you erase Alice from me! Please stop!! "

She reaches out to Alice and turns to me.

From the beginning.

From the beginning, she knew I was going to say that.

So I went out of my way to hide the USB memory stick with this video in my pocket.

"Good boy, Takumi." Then you can think about it. "

She smiled at me with a gentle, compassionate face.
