Late at night, right above the room where Kaito slept.......while sitting on the roof of the mansion, Alice vaguely looked at the moon in the night sky.
　

''........Huh, what do you want, Mr. Eden?　If you're Kite, you're sleeping now.
....
Yeah?

　Instead of answering Alice's question, Eden took out a vermilion wine cup out of nowhere and held it out to Alice. And after confirming that Alice received the sled while nodding her head, Eden sat down next to Alice, took out a bottle of sake and poured the sake into Alice's cup.

''........What kind of wind blowing is that?''
'Not really, I don't mean it. How long ago was it?　My sense is that it's over '20 billion years', but the flow between worlds is different. For the rest of the world it may be just a few seconds. How many years ago would be an appropriate way to describe it?
That's 20 billion years ago.
So let's say it was 20 billion years ago. I'm just remembering what happened then.
...I see.

　When Eden's words were not to the point, Alice drank the sake from her cup without asking any more questions.
　After a few moments of silence, Alice took out a small golden feather and held it out to Eden.

''........I'll give this back to you. I didn't 'use' it after all.......
It's not necessary. There's no use for a feather to enter the world that Shalovanar has created. In fact, why didn't you use it?
'What's the use of me being the only one in your va*in*?　Besides, it would have been better for you not to use this.......because this is probably a 'breach of contract', right?
''That's right. It's true that this is an item that is in violation of the contract with Shalovanal... if I had used it, I wouldn't have been able to refuse it even if they offered me an additional contract against me afterwards.

　The feather had been entrusted to Alice by Eden on the eve of the Shalovanal trials. Using it, Alice was the only one who could intervene in Kaito's ordeal.
　As a result, Alice chose not to trust and use the kaijin, but for Eden there should have been no reason to go out of his way to give him an item that would make his position worse.

''........Why did you give me this?
Well ... sort of, I guess.
Why do you think you're the only one who can help me with this, this, that and the other thing?
'Didn't you say?　Of all the people in this world, I'm sure you'd appreciate it...
It's a boring lie. You would never be interested in anyone other than your own child just because he or she was able to fight fairly well.
....

　Eden is silent as she hears Alice tell her in a dumbfounded voice. They didn't hear any more from Alice, and silence fell between them.
　They poured the sake into a cup and drank it for how long? After repeating this four times, Alice muttered to herself.


When did you find out?

　The moment she heard the words Alice told her, Eden's tone changed.

''You've always been lax in the crucial areas, you.......the main body you brought to the divine realm.......you changed the gower, but the core was still the same, right?''
''.........Clairvoyance.......I failed, I did have normal clairvoyance countermeasures, but I didn't read that it was strengthened to that point with the Hecaton Cale Ultimate Battle Type. No, I'll just say this here.......as expected of 'Alicia'.
'Oh?　I thought you were omniscient?
Omniscience isn't a panacea either. My omniscience is 'the ability to understand what I try to know', so if I don't try to know, I won't understand.

　After saying that, Eden smiled an innocent smile. As if enjoying this moment from the bottom of her heart........

'But I didn't notice that much.
Crazy people are terrible.
No, no, no, no, don't call him a lunatic for that kind of flying...
'Well I just don't hold back like I used to anymore. I want to love my sweet, sweet baby, a lot.
Alice, I regret my past somewhat. If I hadn't respected her wishes and stopped her, a god with a screwed up head would have been born, but if you hadn't been there, Kaito-san wouldn't have been born. ...It's difficult.
"Mmm-hmm.

　Alice, who spoke in a dumbfounded manner, and Eden, who smiled....................There was a somewhat calm air between them.

So it's 'Earth' and a lot of the machines and such have 'the same names as the ones I know'.
"It's not just a name. The Earth today looks like it did just before you and I met. It's strange. I changed the name and a few things, but otherwise I didn't do anything else. And yet, we naturally become a similar world.
Don't do the same thing to your own demise.
Haha, I don't know about that. Because my children are already independent and independent of me. It is up to the child to decide how to destroy it, but I would affirm any destruction with my overflowing love. I love my child on the way to destruction, don't you?
...this guy's got a screw loose.

　Looking at Eden, who spoke of affection that could even be called madness, Alice let out a sigh that she didn't know how many times her tone had changed but still remained the same inside.
　As it was, after chatting a bit, Eden slowly stood up.

''Well it's a strange connection, but it was nice to see Alicia again in this world like this.
'Huh, well, I could talk about the old days too... or rather, what's the usual way you talk?'
...or doesn't it sound like a god?
"It's easy to say that God equals politeness...no, but Sharovanal-sama is too, so I don't think it's wrong, but...well, you'll have to discuss that with Kite-san. Or, let me tell you, you're pretty scared of Kite-san, right?
'Really?　What? Why?　I love my beloved child as much as anyone else!　Oh, did I not love you enough?　Okay, let's 'give the planet away' for my child!　I'll have to talk to Shalovanal about it right away....
Ohhhhhhh, Alice, I understand now. I don't think I'll ever recover from this...

　Alice was spooned in an instant. She thought for a moment that maybe she could correct her personality since they were old friends, but when she heard the idea of a busted-up Eden, she gave up.
　


If that's so........then, well, you made the right choice, didn't you?
I'll see you later, Alicia.
It's Alice now.
'Well I'll talk to you again, Alice. I'd love to hear about what happened after I left that world it's kind of tasteless to know with all your knowledge.

　After waving her hand in that direction, Eden returned to her normal expression and disappeared. After looking away from it, Alice muttered while holding the golden feather in her hand.

''........I feel like I'd be able to get along with Kite-san if I didn't think about being god-like or something, but.......well, you'll have to realize that on your own. ........utterly, a troubled God.
