Chapter 418: Alice

I’m glad that Instructor Graham was a reasonable person who was easy to talk to; it’s no wonder we got along so well.

In the end, as the instructor said, everything continued as normal, including the exchanges, although the giants mostly avoided our group and the referee never called any of us, including the girls. They seemed to be avoiding us so that there wouldn’t be any more problems.

Now, there were other classes that were also held outdoors. Which makes me wonder if things will stay that way, because if so, it would be boring.

Well, I suppose I can see what my main self does to kill time. his side seems interesting.

Mientras los instructores de magia, incluida Astrid, se marchaban, vi a Lily acercándose a mí, lo que provocó que Silvia, que estaba cerca, retrocediera. Parece que realmente le tiene fobia a Lily.

“What’s up, Lily?”

“Heee~ Sweetheart, your friend is certainly funny. It’s so cute how she deliberately avoids me. It makes me want to tease her even more.”

“Hee~, feel free to do so. You know, she’s a shy, she probably won’t know what to do if you start petting her, just be careful, sometimes she can cast spells of mutual destruction if she gets too embarrassed.”

“Oh, I’ll keep that in mind, but you know, things are interesting here. It was really cool to see my cuties and you teach those giants their place. It makes me proud that my cuties are so strong and don’t let anyone intimidate them.”

“Well, today has been a particularly hectic day. By the way, Lily, although I don’t mind spending time with you, don’t you have to go with Astrid?”

“Oh, right! I can’t waste any time. Here, Sweetheart, it’s a message from my older sister. When I heard what she said, I finally understood why she was mad at me.”

“Wasn’t it because you used her daughter as a blunt weapon? Hmm, but why a note? Can’t she just… Oh, finally.”

I found it curious that she would use Lily as a message when she could tell me directly or talk to me mentally, but I didn’t think much of it. The important thing was what was in the note.

Since we arrived in the middle world, Astrid and I haven’t found any opportunity for anything, but now that classes are no longer hectic and intensive, it seems she found the moment.

The note not only had a purpose, but also an address and instructions.

“Yes, and I’m involved too. I’ll be waiting for you tonight, don’t be late.”

“Even if a dragon appears, I’ll be there.”

“Hehehe~ I’m looking forward to it. Hmm, but come to think of it, why wait? Since I’m here, how about we have some fun…”

“Oh, Lily, as expected of you, what a great idea. I already have a few places in mind. There’s a corner in the library that’s really good.”

“Oh, it seems we’re in sync as always. You know, it would be fine even in a place where there are a lot of people, but with a spell covering us, oh and you can bring Alice, my older sister says she’s—”

“What are you doing, old witch?”

“Nothing! Okay!, I’m leaving. Bye, Sweetheart, bye, my loves. I’m busy helping big sister Astrid, so I’ll see you later.”

At that moment, Eira arrived with Selene and invaded my sound barrier without any qualms, but Lily, knowing how to handle the situation, escaped without any hesitation.

I guess we’ll give her the final details of what we were planning later.

“What are you planning?”

“Nothing important.”

“눈_눈, Don’t lie. I know you both, and I saw you both smiling perversely. Besides, that old witch doesn’t mind me calling her that when she’s planning something.”

“Hmm, bad intentions.”

“…”

I’ll use my right to remain silent, which is why Lily ran away so quickly and didn’t give her time to be questioned, even though she didn’t understand where the bad intentions came from if Lily and I had the pure intention of having a good time together. Maybe it was a misinterpretation.

“I’m warning you, if I catch you doing something you shouldn’t, I’ll ask Elena to lend me George.”

’So everything’s fine as long as we don’t get caught, right?’

The fact that someone is potentially looking for you makes it more exciting. I’m sure Lily will think the same.

“Ahem, and that’s what the original did. Let me emphasize: it was all him, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Big sister, in the end it was you, wasn’t it?”

“Augh! Well, yes… ahem. More importantly, Alice, what do you think? How do you think the others will react if I tell them? Especially Elena, do you think she’ll get mad?”

“Well… I think a little.”

“Ugh! So yes, after all. Damn main me, doing stupid things because of withdrawal.”

“But, big sister, the main one has the dimensional stone, right?”

“Huh? Well, yes.”

“Then, big sister, why not? If you wanted it so badly, you used my doppelganger… we’ve done it several times before, haven’t we?”

“…”

“Or did big sister want that specific girl?”

“Yes, my idiot main self was definitely not thinking straight. Alice, he forgot about that; rather, we all forgot about that. Ugh! Now I feel like

It was lunchtime, and Seraphina and Alice were walking through the garden to a corner they often used as a place to eat.

It was quiet and pleasant, a nice spot they had found during their busy first week after arriving.

Seraphina, who understood what her main self had done, took Alice and walked ahead of the rest; she wanted to talk about what had happened with Ophelia.

She was her accomplice in many things and wanted her opinion first to know if it was that bad or not, and it seemed that exchanging the body for an art that the other person urgently needed was not the best thing her original self had done.

Not to mention that during that exchange she almost caused Ophelia to meet her patron deity, though luckily ehe origuinal snatched her from the clutches of death.

And not only that, now with what Alice said, she thought about the nonsense of her other self, who didn’t think of that obvious solution.

She had forgotten that Alice’s doppelganger was staying in the dimensional stone.

And now that she discovered she could have avoided all that, she felt like a fool. She just hoped the original wouldn’t look this way and realize her foolishness, at least not for now.

Now Seraphina had to think of the best way to tell the rest without ending up being judged or even physically corrected.

But as she thought this, her eyes fell on Alice and…

“Hm? What’s wrong, Alice? Why do you look sad?”

“It’s nothing, big sister. I’m not sad or anything.”

“Oh, come on, how could I not notice that my little sunshine is a little down? Come on, tell me. Whatever it is, it’s better to talk about it and work it out together.”

Seraphina may act the way she does, but she always noticed immediately if there was something wrong or a problem with the girls around her, and she noticed that there was definitely something wrong with Alice.

“…Haaah~ I guess I can’t fool you, big sister. It’s just that I, hmmm…”

“Come on, don’t worry. You know you can tell me anything. Is it something related to Ophelia? Did you not like what I did with her either?”

“No, it’s not that, I just think… I think it’s unfair.”

“Unfair? What is unfair?”

“Everything is so unfair… big sister, you love me, right?”

“Huh? What kind of question is that?! Of course I do.”

“But then, why am I the exception?”

“Exception? What exception?”

“Big sister, I recently heard that in a healthy, lasting relationship, there should be occasional fights or arguments, but you’ve never fought or argued with me.”

“Huh? Fight?”

“Yes, they say that if you don’t, it’s because the person isn’t interested in the relationship, which means it will soon end. Unlike me, my big sister, you’re always doing it with Elena, Eira, big sister Astrid, and I also heard that with big sister Lily. Even a few days ago, you fought very roughly with Selene.”

“This! Well, that pudding was made by Elena for me, and she took it even though she knew that, and when I got it back, she bit me where she shouldn’t have, but she started it. She knew it was my pudding, yet she was angry for the rest of the day just because I ate the pudding that belonged to me. Wait! Do you think I have no interest in our relationship because we don’t fight?”

“It’s just that, big sister, it’s true that we never fight, and the closest thing is when I ask you to… well, big sister, you know… You always seem like you don’t really want to, and when you finally agree, I feel like you’re only doing it out of obligation, but with Ophelia, it wasn’t like that…”

“Huh? Wait, we weren’t talking about—”

“It’s very unfair.”

“Wait, wait, Alice, let me get this straight.”

Seraphina was a little confused. Alice definitely wanted to get at something. She understood her earlier point about why she might misinterpret her lack of interest in their relationship, but now this jumped to Ophelia.

“Wait, wait, Alice, let me get this straight.”

Seraphina was a little confused. Alice definitely wanted to get at something. She understood her earlier point about why she might misinterpret her lack of interest in their relationship, but now this jumped to Ophelia.

Sure, it wouldn’t be unusual considering that this conversation started because of her, but Seraphina didn’t know if her brain was malfunctioning or what, but she felt like something wasn’t connecting properly, but Alice didn’t give her the time she needed to connect the dots.

“Big sister, why her and not me?”

“W-well, it was just a carnal relationship, and my original self had been holding back for several days and got too excited.”

“Big sister, I want you to be honest. Don’t you like me this way? Am I the problem?”

“No, wait, calm down!. You’re definitely not the problem.”

“Big sister, don’t lie. Not only Ophelia, even with Eira you have no qualms about doing it.”

“It’s… because, well, our relationship started, you know, a little aggressively, and well, even before we started, I got used to being a little rough with her, andand with Ophelia, well…”.”

Seraphina was sweating. The unexpected situation and Alice’s complaints caught her off guard.

She, who always noticed when something was wrong, didn’t notice this, but she also realized that it was her fault.

It seemed that Alice had been holding this in for a long time. It was something that grew slowly and discreetly, but it was true: Seraphina definitely has a problem fulfilling this desire of Alice’s.

Alice is a sweet, kind, and always warm person, and she has always been that way, so being harsh with her makes Seraphina somewhat resistant.

Although she believes that when she gets excited and loses control, she has done many things that she thought were already crossing a line, it seems that this is not enough for Alice.

Seraphina realized that, even though this issue was present, she had pushed it aside, and it was definitely her fault for not prioritizing it.

Now Alice was exploding, now that she seemed unable to contain herself any longer. That it had come to this point made Seraphina seriously blame herself.

“Ah… I-I understand… I’m sorry, big sister, I didn’t mean what I said. It’s not that I doubt you, it’s just a meaningless complaint. You don’t have to worry about it, big sister. By the way, what do you think we’re having for lunch?”

Suddenly Alice seemed to think of something, as if she was surprised at herself and what she said, and now regretted it a little. She wanted to put that topic behind her.

“No, Alice, don’t try to bury the issue. This is definitely something important. A relationship is a two-way street, so we’ll definitely find some kind of answer together.”

“Big sister, you don’t have to force yourself to do it.”

“What you say isn’t true. I have a stubborn mindset. You’ve always been my sweetheart, and I’ve always felt the need to protect you, so it was always difficult for me to hurt you in any way.”

“Big sister.”

“But if that mentality gets in the way and poisons our relationship, I need to correct it. Alice, we’ll be together for many, many years; something like this can grow to the point of no return if it’s neglected. Even so, I ask for a little patience. I feel like I need to think about it a little more.”
