"I don't need to be told that. I know a hundred more than the original."

Alice expressed her thoughts to the Divine Son.

Dependency.

Such an unnatural and unhealthy way that you shouldn't live without that subject.

From that point of view, as Alice herself is aware, she must be deeply dependent on the Demon King.

"Well, I guess it's hard to say I'm healthy."

This time, one of the reasons the Divine Son came was because I had a feeling that if Alice remained unusually unconscious in that mind, she would not be far away from having an unfortunate end (not a definite "prediction" because the goddess has decided no touch on the matter).

"I guess I'm unusual"

But that unnatural mind bias already seemed something Alice herself would realize.

And Alice asked the Divine Son in turn.

"In the first place, why is it up to you to decide that 'dependence' and 'love' cannot coexist?

In terms of that, it was due to the solidity of the divine son's head, or common sense to root unconsciously.

People should be healthy.

People should be equal.

That kind of thinking in itself cannot be called a mistake.

It's just too far to go through it and even say "you have to be healthy" and "you have to be reciprocal".

The Divine Son, due to his special birth, has ample kinds of upbringing, but something like general social experience and interpersonal relationships is probably just a little scarce.

Even if he is mediocre, he will be tied to a value judgment that is too clean. Is it easy to understand when you say that, as the textbook suggests, it is the result of being dragged into a sense of value such as the so-called "happy way of people is something like this from now on"?

Though it may be cruel to blame it because there are aspects of the divine Son's position that are "made” with moderate public ignorance and yet with the intention of remaining faithful to the doctrine. In other words, even God could not tell that education in that temple, combined with the original personal qualities, fostered the present peculiar and extraordinary personality.

Either way, taking Alice's words in the form of 'love' that I had never thought about before, Shinko got the kind of emotion that was struck by lightning.

I say, "Look at people and I'll shake them back," but maybe the Divine Son should have turned his attention to his bias before pointing it out to Alice about this one.

Alice continues her words.

"I... can only be me. Only with me abnormal, unhealthy, and full of mistakes."

To the Divine Son, who is gaining a quiet exaltation by touching new values, Alice tells him how she thinks, as a single personality.

No, you may be preaching to Alice herself, not to the Divine Son, but to the thought that has previously been unconscious on this occasion. Originally, even if it was vaguely within me, the contents of my mind can't capture its shape even when I try to fall into the words.

Conversely, there is the danger that flexibility will be compromised from pure thought in the process of embedding it in the type of word, but this time it apparently worked positively.

At first, thoughts as vague as Kasumi get the form of words to firm beliefs.

The ambiguous contours of thought gradually gained shape clearly, giving Alice a definite core to her words.

"I can only be me. So that you can only be you. Then we can only reach out to what we want, unhealthy and unusual."

That, in a way, may be sweet, lazy.

I'm not trying to make it right, conscious that it's unhealthy.

I accept mistakes as they are.

But you can love people even if they're not healthy.

You're allowed to be happy, even if you're wrong.

That's more of a desire to be so than a certainty.

Alice's words were like a sincere prayer.

"Brilliant. I've missed you."

"No, thanks to you, I also had the opportunity to get a good self-reflection. Thank you, let me tell you."

Shinko bowed his head deeply and apologized for the disrespect with which he asked an impudent question.

Alice was also a little moot when she was suddenly asked questions that went deep into the inside, but it seemed to turn out to be a good opportunity to review her mind and what to reflect on. This will also support you in considering your future relationship with the Demon King.

But that also left Alice wondering.

"Speaking of which, why did you ask me that?

"To bake you a favor... no, for people's sake and so on. It's just that the wasps wanted to confirm and convince me."

The Divine Son was also concerned about the dangerous relationship between his friends, even if they were not parties. Therefore, I just wanted to confirm and convince myself of the disrespect.

Convinced.

It's easy to put it into words, but with or without a sole, it's such an important element that sometimes life depends on it.

And, at least as far as Alice is concerned, the Divine Son has been able to get convinced.

Alice wasn't in any more critical condition than she thought. In other words, it was just a concern in the first place, and there would have been no problem without Shinko speaking out.

If you're done, it may be that you literally came here to bake extra care rather than to bake a cure.

"Speaking of which, you'd be hungry at the dawn of fasting. Why don't you eat something"

"Thank you for your concern. But I have other business to attend to, and I would like to interrupt you later."

Once he declined Alice's invitation to eat, the Divine Son went to the next questioning place to gain further satisfaction.
