"...This tea is quite nice, could you give me some?"

"..."

Mei suddenly laughed: "What's good about it? The taste? The texture?"

Alicia sat gracefully, her face radiant, and said, "The color is clear and bright, the taste is long-lasting, and the aftertaste is endlessly delightful, as if I were in a tea mountain shrouded in mist, peaceful and serene, refreshing and invigorating... Hmm~ No wonder it tastes like plum!"

Mei sneered, "That's very well said. But this tea was bought by that idiot Kevin when he was shopping. It's actually low-quality tea. After Kevin gave it to me, I was afraid of hurting his feelings, so I didn't throw it away. I put it in my office to entertain those fools from the United Nations."

Mei: "Many of the people who come here to talk to me say how good this tea is, how ridiculous."

"..."

“I know.” Alicia’s smile remained unchanged: “But this also proves how good your relationship with Kevin is, and that’s also the flavor of this tea.”

Yes, Alicia knows everything that happens in this world. This interesting tea does indeed taste good to her. May's use of this to mock her is a terrible choice.

"..."

Forget it, what's the point of playing games? As if this will make the other person confess?

Mei sat down calmly and asked, "Alicia, are you going to take care of me too?"

"Hmm...hmm?" Alicia herself was a little confused. She said, "Yes and no."

Mei: "Is that so?... Let me guess, Alicia, right now you must feel that you are doing the right thing, right?"

Before Alicia could answer, Mei continued, "But in reality, you yourself don't think what you're doing is right, which is why you're both decisive and confused."

Alicia: "I..."

Mei: "You didn't do evil; you had good intentions and wanted what was best for everyone. But in the end, what you did inevitably hurt some people. Even those you had good intentions for, like me, felt that what you did wasn't entirely right."

"..."

Mei took a sip of tea. Strangely enough, she had previously thought the tea was of poor quality, with a bad taste and texture, but now it tasted fragrant and sweet. It seemed that, just as Alicia had said, the fragrance came from Kevin's feelings, and the sweetness came from her desire not to hurt Kevin.

She continued, "Yun Fuyu and Xier, at least in my eyes, have always been warriors fighting for humanity. I wonder if you see them the same way I do? If that's the case, if you hurt them, wouldn't you be unable to convince yourself, let alone convince others?"

“…Mei, you’re too cunning.”

Alicia said softly, "No matter what, those two must not be allowed to stay. This is my promise to everyone; I will not allow anyone to threaten this world."

May: "Alice, I don't know what you've been through, nor do I know what this world has been through or will be through. But I can judge the right and wrong of each side from my own perspective."

"What are you hiding from us? You don't want to tell us, do you? In that case, isn't it perfectly understandable that we don't understand you?"

"Yun Fuyu and Xier are special, aren't they? But on the surface, they are just harmless teenagers, yearning for beauty and light. In that case, it's not only natural that we don't understand you, but also oppose you, isn't it even more justifiable?"

Alicia nodded: "That's true."

Mei: "I don't believe you want to keep arguing with me like this. You need to find a way to answer my questions and prove your innocence. But you don't seem willing to tell the truth, so you have no choice but to kill me, don't you?"

Alicia nodded, then shook her head: "I can't prove it. But I don't have to be your enemy. Now that it's out in the open, I'll say it—Mei, next, I'm going to erase all of your memories of Yun Fuyu and Xier, and make their traces disappear."

Mei frowned: "This is impossible!...No, Alicia, who are you? I can only think of two words to describe someone who can do such a thing—god, or demon."

Alicia kindly reminded everyone: "Of course, it's the beautiful, flawless, noble, and holy goddess!"

Mei: "What's the significance?"

Alicia: "Let them disappear forever. Let the world continue to function smoothly. One day, I will find a way to break this cycle of nightmares."

Mei: "You're from the future?"

Alicia's gaze was calm: "I come from the past."

The so-called El-Innis is nothing more than a person who has lost their own world, hoping to achieve their beautiful dream in a false world filled with unfulfilled wishes.

Mei: "...Have we already died once?"

Alicia: "...Yes."

Mei: "And you, you want to save the world all by yourself?"

"……Um."

Mei seemed to have figured something out, and sighed, "Although I don't understand, but... thank you for your hard work. However, can one person really do all this?"

Alicia replied calmly, "As long as I completely usurp that god's power. Even if I can't succeed, just having more than half of his power will be enough."

Mei: "What if we can't do that?"

Alicia: "I can definitely do it."

This was the grand wish she made in the name of Alicia.

Mei: "...Are the gods you speak of related to Yun Fuyu and the others?"

Mei suddenly recalled Yun Fuyu's face, then stared intently at Alicia, and gasped inwardly.

—At least, they are at least three-tenths similar, or even more.

Alicia seemed to know what she was thinking and said noncommittally, "I do have a deep connection with that god. It's just a pity that we cannot coexist."

He gave her humanity, and she lost herself forever. If he had no humanity, she could never have taken his power away.

After saying that, Alicia said no more, stood up, covered her mouth and yawned sleepily, and walked outside.

She hummed a pleasant little tune:

"Life is but a fleeting dream, a repetition of the past; time betrays the years, and relentless thoughts destroy people..."

After she left, Mei sat quietly for a moment, then returned to her desk and continued working as if nothing had happened. A while later, Kevin returned and stood guard at the door, also as if nothing had occurred.

The pleasant melody suddenly changed from mournful to melodious, as if both sighing and joyful:

"It was my long-standing deception that clouded my vision; time flies by, when will fate return..."

"...Hey, don't disappoint me, okay?"

A pale purple hue enveloped the world, and Erinis's power corrected the world line.

The girl spoke words that were difficult to understand, and in the primordial land where the light purple mist met the sky and the water met the sky, and where countless stars flowed endlessly, she quietly fell into a peaceful slumber.

Waiting for the next awakening, or the opportunity to revive all living beings.

It will only be another 50,000 years.
