Chapter 26 Alice's Truth
That night—
She returned to her home, but Alice was not happy at all. On the contrary, she hoped to return to everyone's side as soon as possible. No, to be correct, she should be back to "him".
As soon as I think of dew, I feel like a hollowness appears in my heart, and I feel extremely lonely.
"Lu, I miss you so much. Um... Oh no, I took a bath while thinking about Lu. I felt dizzy before I knew it. Go back to my room to rest before I was dizzy."
Alice walked out of the bath, but she always felt her steps shaking. It seemed that it would be better to have a break earlier.
I returned to my room tremblingly. The moment I opened the door, I heard a familiar voice.
“Welcome back.”
"Yes, it's you? Melo, scared me."
As soon as I got back to the room, I saw Meilo sitting on his bed and smiling at him to welcome him back.
"You've finally washed?"
"You're not waiting for me to come back?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry, I hope you can agree to it."
"As long as I can do it, you can just mention it."
"Thank you, so... can you sleep with me tonight?"
“…One, sleep together?”
“Yes, if you can…”
Although both of them are girls, Melo is always a traitor. But Alice can see from Melo's eyes what the meaning of her thinking of sleeping with her is.
"No? Is there any problem?"
"Why should I say there is a problem or something?"
"Don't worry, I just want to sleep with you."
"Is that true? Uh..."
I don't know why, while Alice was relieved, her vision began to shake violently, and even her body was about to fall.
"Dangerous, be careful."
Meilo, who was still lying on the bed the next second, appeared in front of Alice, hugging Alice to prevent her from falling.
"Sorry, I..."
Alice only felt her body floating in the air lightly, and she felt head-heavy and completely lost her sense of balance.
"Hey? Hey? What's wrong? Hey, hey!"
With a gentle impact, when she noticed, Alice had already fallen on the bed, and in a posture that seemed to be pushing down Melo, she pushed Melo onto the bed.
"Hey! Wait! Wait! What are you going to do suddenly?"
"Sorry, Melo, I'm a little dizzy."
Alice stood up from Melo and gently stroked her head. She still felt a little dizzy now.
"Is it a fever? Or it's just a cold?"
"I was thinking about some things when I took a bath just now, but it might be that some of them had been a little longer."
"Do you want to take some water to replenish it? I'll pour you some water."
"No, I drank water when I went back to my room."
"Then... it's better to lie down and rest."
“Okay.”
Alice slept on the bed with the help of Melo, and after that, Melo lay side by side next to Alice as if she was sleeping. Moreover, Melo grabbed Alice's hand and wrapped her arm around her head.
This is the first time Alice has looked at Melo at such a close distance. Because the distance is very close now, Alice has also discovered that Melo's appearance really has many similarities with Lu.
"Melo, are you and Lu twins?"
"Yes, we are brothers and sisters of the brothers."
Melo's face always had a cute smile and a cheerful voice, but Alice still discovered the sadness that Melo was hidden under the cute smile and cheerful voice.
"Melo, can you hug you?"
"No, no one can hold me except Brother Solomon."
"Why?"
"Because... if you are hugged tightly, you will feel happy, and I... will cry."
Alice felt that what Melo said was very strange. Judging from what she said, it seemed that she was not qualified to be happy.
Next, Melo's words made Alice feel sad in reverse.
"Do you want to live?"
Because Melo wanted to hear Alice's truth, she secretly used the soul-catching technique. When she got involved in the soul-catching technique, Alice also spoke her heart truthfully.
"I am so scared, afraid of dying like this. Because now I... live so happy every day. I want to live, and hold a women's meeting with Elsia, Selena, Kotoon, and Nanase, enjoy the school life with everyone, and become friends with you, and get the victory of the Holy Martial Festival with everyone to lift the curse of the Nosfire family. Then... I want to be with Lu, and there are many things, I want to spend with Lu. At the beginning, I thought that as long as I could convey my feelings, it would be enough. But... I don't know when it started, this level is no longer satisfactory. I want to... I have been with Lu and everyone."
“…”
Melo was silent. Although Alice said so many things in one breath because of soul-calling, when she heard the words in her ears, there was only one sentence that was still echoing in her ears.
Want to be friends with you.
For Melo, Alice is her long-standing enemy, the one who will fight with her sooner or later, and the only person Melo believes can kill her.
Melo once told Alice publicly, but even so, Alice still wanted to be friends with her.
(I also want to be friends with you and play with you.)
Meilo tried his best to swallow this sentence that almost blurted out.
"Alice, you already know that Brother Solomon once fell in love with Rosa Elena, but later became a mortal enemy that never ended, right?"
"I can't understand why the Demon King Solomon became mortal enemies with Rosa Elena."
"Don't you think...you're very similar?"
"What did you say?"
"Rosa Elena and Brother Solomon were once a couple in love. Aren't you two also a couple in love?"
Melo did not say the next words, but with Alice's intelligence, she had known the meaning of Melo's words for a long time.
Will Alice and Lu become mortal enemies in the future?
