The end is too quick and easy.
　Hence, I suspect a trap.

...what did you say?
'I'm losing. I'm disarming the dream.

　It's not a mishearing, it's just that I can't believe it.
　However, as expected, I can't believe it honestly.
　Alpha-san doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd be willing to take revenge, but.....
　I don't know what I'll do when I'm trapped.

　Iris seems to have the same idea and doesn't let her guard down.
　She glares sharply at Alpha-san.

'You're awfully honest. When I spoke to you not long ago, you didn't lose your attitude of never giving in. Are you planning something?
''Well it's no wonder you think so. I'm sure Mr. Iris has a valid concern.
Oh my...?

　Again, it was honestly affirmed here, and Iris looked like she was out of sync.

　Something's not right, is it?
　Mr. Alpha seemed to be a quiet person, but within him, he seemed to have a very strong core.
　For the sake of his ideals, to share the happiness he believed in with people.
　He seemed to do everything in his power...

'This tower was created by me. Hence, I can get some idea of what happened inside, even at a distance.
You mean...?
'I was watching the fight between Miss Lane and Miss Iris. I listened to what they said to each other, which was uttered in the middle of it.

　Alpha-san gently placed her hand on her chest.
　Touching the heart behind it, as if to expose it to the surface.......
　He spun the words quietly.

'I knew I was right. That's why I put this plan into action. But ... now that I've heard the words of both of you, I can't be proud to say that I'm right.

　That means our words have reached Mr. Alpha.
　If that's true, I'm glad to hear it.

　Even though we're at odds with Mr. Alpha.
　But I never once hated them.
　I've never harbored any hostility.

　Although our beliefs are different, Alpha is thinking about people.
　He thinks and acts for someone else.
　In truth, he was slightly hesitant to turn his blade on such a person.

　If you don't have to do that, then you're welcome.

'Dear Rain, you must not believe it easily. It could be that it is a trap.
'Iris is a skeptic...'
I'm afraid Miss Lane is too good-natured to be true.

　It's hard to deny it because it's something I've been told by my friends often.

'Don't worry. My words do not lie. I don't intend to fight with the two of you, and we'll unlock the dream in turn.
Why don't you disarm it right away?　Isn't that just to buy time?
''Eh, no I don't mean that.
'Oh....'

　Iris spills out a goofy voice, as if she had forgotten the result.
　It's rare to see such carelessness.

　Maybe Iris was actually being cautious, too.
　Has she loosened up somewhat by talking face to face with Alpha-san?

'I will obey everything Mr. Lane and the others say. If you don't believe me, then feel free to restrain or incapacitate me.
No I wouldn't go that far. In the meantime, I'll come down the tower with you. We can't disarm the dream if we stay here.
Do you believe me?
I believe you.

　When I answered immediately, Alpha's eyes widened in surprise.
　Iris next to her has a smile on her mouth while making a look of relief.

'I think I've said it somewhere before but it's better to believe it than to doubt it. If that betrays you, well, I can't blame you. I'll just be lenient and accept the consequences and then ... well ... we'll figure it out.
.....

　Alpha-san laughs a small laugh, as if he can't stand it.

''You really are an interesting human being.......just like that guy.''
That man?
'He's someone I loved. A man so innocent, so pure, like a child.
Where is this man now...?
They're gone.

　I had some idea of the answer, but....
　When I finally hear the answer, it's indescribable.

　After all, this person knows the pain that tears your heart apart.
　He suffers from that pain and cries....
　It was because he had experienced such feelings that he tried to save others.

　Though his methods were warped...
　But I could tell that the thought was a solid one.

So let's get off the tower.
...Mr. Alpha.
Yes?
'I cannot approve of your methods. Dreaming does not, fundamentally, make you happy. I'll confront you on that point as often as I can.
Yes.
So, what can I say.......please continue to be an Alpha.
....

　Mr. Alpha's eyes widened once....
　Next, he smiled softly.

'Yes. Let's make a pact.
Yes, I promise.

　We shake each other's hands.

　At this moment, Alpha-san and I have a real connection to each other....
　The case in Kagne has been solved.

　.............................That's what I thought, at that time.

'Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.........' Therefore, let's not have any development in which you two hold hands.

　A woman's voice came out of nowhere.
　It sounded familiar...
　I mean, it's not so easy to forget that.

'Monica!
It's been a while, Miss Lane.

　A giggle is heard.
　I hurriedly look around, but I can't find Monica.
　It seems that Iris is also using her magic power and detecting it, but....

You can't. Even with my help, I cannot locate Monica-san.

　The most powerful species ... and powerful enough to deceive the celestial race, Iris?
　Is there such a thing in the world?

''It's useless. My illusions are not easy to break, even for the strongest species. That was proven in my battle with Kanade-san and the others.
Why would Monica have the power to...
'I've been trained that way since I was very young. And ... a little too chatty, I suppose.

　Have you been working out?
　It's like...
　You sound just like me.

''My illusion and Alpha-san's ability to show you your dreams..........They go very well together. It would be a shame to leave it like this and lose it, so I'm going to rob it, just as it is.
