As the black moon, the only thing of interest in that space, floated above…… Standing within that space, Makina suddenly felt the entrance to the space open and turned around.

  The only person who could come to this space on her own was Alice, to whom she had given the key, so she inevitably knew immediately who had come.

  When Alice arrived, slightly looking down, she approached Makina at a slightly fast speed.

  [Alice, welc- Fuguhh!?]

  And after Alice drove a fist of tremendous power into her stomach, Makina fell to one knee. Thereupon, stomping on Makina’s knee, Alice leaped up and kicked her in the face.

  [Ebfuuhh!?]

  Struck by a flying knee kick that was so powerful that it shook the space, Makina’s body spun as she was blown away…… but as one would expect of a being with overwhelming power, immediately afterwards, she came back in front of Alice, looking unscathed.

  [……A Shining Wizard after a belly flop right when we just met…… You’re even releasing a really dense amount of killing intent.]

  […………………]

  [Hmmm…… Errr, could it be…… you mad?]

  [Of course I’d be mad!]

  (Note: Shining Wizard.)

  As soon as Makina asked, Alice indignantly grabbed Makina’s collar and sharply glared at her.

  [How dare you do that!!!?]

  [I- I wonder what you’re talking about……]

  [Aside from the time you were with us, he was supposed to have forgotten the events in that bazaar, but him remembering our date…… Means after leaving us, you moved that space to Trinia, didn’t you? Most probably, telling Shallow Vernal-sama that you’re introducing the other world’s festival to her!!!?]

  [……As expected of Alice. You were almost completely right.]

  […………………]

  [……Tehee- Adadadadada, ouch! C- Cobra twist!?]

  (Note: Cobra twist.)

  As if her prank has been caught…… Or rather, her actions really could be considered as one. Anyhow, seeing the smile creep up Makina’s lips, Alice quickly unleashed her joint-locking techniques.

  [Ahh, I got out- Frankensteiner!?]

  Fluidly moving from a cobra twist, Alice locked Makina’s face between her legs and spinning around to pull her up, she slammed Makina’s head into the ground.

  Then, pursuing after the fallen Makina, she leapt.

  [Ouch…… This time…… Leaping up above the air, and spinning as you leapt…… Ahh, a Phoenix Splash——— Ouch!?]

  (Note: Also a wrestling move. Better if you just google a vid of this.)

  Alice unleashed a series of wrestling techniques…… Of course, each blow contains an extraordinary amount of magic power, capable of wiping out a star with a single blow.

  ……Well, even then, her strikes only felt as strong as being hit by a paper fan for Makina, showing how absurd of a being she is.

  It’s because Alice knows this that she is attacking with all her might……


  [That’s quite a difficult combination…… I see you’re the technique-oriented type. Even so, your reaction means you got to flirt with my child a lot! In that case, I guess my plan was worthwhile.]

  [……How should I say this…… You’re not even feeling embarrassed about what you did.]

  [After all, Alice, I know that you’re mad because you’re feeling embarrassed…… but “you don’t seem to be mad about the fact that I tricked you”.]

  [……Haahhh……]

  Looking at the smiling Makina, Alice seemed to be taken aback as she lets out a sigh. Then, with a complicated expression on her face, as if she just accepted all sorts of things, she relaxed and sat next to Makina.

  [……Well, if it hadn’t been for that opportunity, I guess I wouldn’t have been able to make my approach…… And it’s true that I felt somewhat relieved that Kaito-san hadn’t forgotten about our date. I’m angry that I’ve been set up though.]

  [Ahaha, sorry. But Alice is just a little too reserved after all. Even though you’re able to become my child’s lover, you could just go for it.]

  [Your go for it would be too much for me, so I’d like it if you were more restrained though……]

  [It’s not that I don’t feel sorry about it…… but whether I could improve from that or not is another thing.]

  Alice certainly was trembling with anger immediately after she found out…… but calmly thinking about it, what Makina did was a positive thing for Alice.

  The experience of having she herself being proactive was hard to come by, and for the late-bloomer Alice, this may lead to improvements for her future.

  In the end, Makina’s actions weren’t malicious, but one done in good faith. Alice knew that Makina did it for her sake, so she didn’t feel like blaming her too much.

  [……Come to think of it, was it Shallow Vernal-sama’s request that you teach her about the festivals of that world?]

  [Unnn, she seems to be gathering information about the other world lately. She probably wants to use them as reference for a date with my child or something like that, as it seems like she’s also looking into the standard events for lovers in the other world.]

  [I mean, does Shallow Vernal-sama even know other World Creators other than you?]

  [……Almost none. Shallow Vernal is really feared after all…… However, it seems like she made a new friend lately.]

  [Hohh…… Now I’m curious about that.]

  [To put it simply, they used to work for Nebula…… If I’m not mistaken, their name should be————]

  Perhaps, because they were good friends who knew each other well, before long, the atmosphere became calm and they started chatting as usual.
