A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

Such a bold idea couldn't help but arise in Yae Sakura's mind.

Danger! Very dangerous!

However, this girl's naive behavior, when seen by Alicia, instantly excited the fat lady.

A smile appeared in her eyes, and she unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth. From an outsider's perspective, she would certainly look very alluring and cute.

What an adorable reaction! Is she actually the passive type?

"You could be a little more confident in your looks, but I also really like humble girls~"

"Eh?! Alicia?!"

Just as Miss Fatty was about to continue her attack on the whimpering monster, a familiar voice came from not far away.

It's Kiana and the others!

"You've come to this strange place too?"

Kiana and the other two, who had been knocked down by the black mist, quickly arrived in front of Alicia.

Kiana and Mei, needless to say, naturally know Alicia.

As for Bronya, she looked at the unfamiliar Alicia with some confusion.

"Do you two know each other? That makes things much simpler."

"Excuse me, I have some things to take care of, please excuse me for now."

After saying this, the whimpering creature, which was being attacked and was somewhat unable to defend itself, quickly left.

This left Alicia, who was originally planning to continue her pursuit, stunned.

She puffed out her cheeks, looking sullen.

Damn it! We haven't even exchanged two words yet!

The fat woman, who had originally planned to "take down" the other party directly, looked at Kiana and the other two with some dissatisfaction.

But in an instant, her eyes lit up.

Aren't these three also very cute and beautiful girls?

It's just that because he had been using Jiang Qiao's body before, it was not easy for him to get close to her.

Hmm~ Now that you've let my prey escape, you can forget about running away!

Alicia's face broke into a dangerous smile again as she stepped forward to meet him.

"Hi~"

However, before she could say anything more, Kiana dealt Alicia a blow.

Looking at Alicia in her [Alicia] form, the white-furred ball hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly:

Are you Jiang Qiao or Alicia?

This question instantly petrified the passionate Alicia.

Me, me, me! Aren't I obvious? Don't I look like Alicia?

"If you ask me a question like that, I'll really cry, Kiana!"

With her cheeks puffed out and eyes brimming with tears, Alicia made a mournful face, as if she were accusing something.

Upon hearing this, Kiana instantly understood:

"Yes, it's the crybaby Alicia!"

"What do you mean, 'crybaby Alicia'? I'm the real Alicia!"

Not ignoring Alicia who was in front, she widened her eyes to express her dissatisfaction.

Could it be that, in Kiana's eyes, the way to distinguish Alicia has even become—the crybaby Alicia / the reliable Alicia?!

Ellie, I will absolutely not accept something like this!

In this world, Alicia is the only one!

"Kiana is so mean! But if it were Mei, she'd definitely be able to tell the difference between me and that mean Jiang Qiao at a glance, right?"

Alicia, who was furious with Kiana, looked at Mei with a hint of expectation.

She could notice that Mei's gaze was different from Kiana's from the very beginning; it was very clear and certain.

It's obvious! Mei recognized me as the real Alicia at a glance!

Faced with Alicia's eager and expectant gaze, Mei hesitated for a moment before finally responding to her expectations and nodding.

Indeed, she noticed the difference between Alicia and [Alicia] from the very beginning.

"See, I knew Mei was the one who understood me the most. I like Mei more than Kiana!"

Like a little girl throwing a tantrum, Alicia raised her index finger, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at the white fluffy ball.

The latter scratched his head, clearly somewhat bewildered but impressed.

—She didn't expect Alicia to like her either.

That might be a bit impolite to say it like that.

Kiana also thought Alicia was very cute.

But if I had to say something against my ancestors' wishes, Kiana would probably be more attracted to the handsome, reliable, incredibly strong, and adorable Jiang Qiao version of Alicia than to the super beautiful but silly Alicia in front of her.

Even though there are no men in XP, if it were Jiang Qiao wearing the skin of Alice, the white-haired dumpling would think it would be great!

Mei smiled slightly at the pink-clad girl who was overjoyed at recognizing him.

After the previous mix-up with the real and fake Ellie, she has improved and can now easily distinguish between the two.

Her method of judging Alicia was this: the real Jiang Qiao is Jiang Qiao, the real Alicia is Jiang Qiao, and the fake Jiang Qiao is Alicia.

In summary--

The fake Alicia equals the real Alicia!

This is the inequality that Mei painstakingly researched to distinguish between the real and fake people!

—That's good, she didn't ask me how I recognized her.

Bronya, standing nearby, stared blankly at the three people chatting happily.

No, who is this Alicia?

Why do these three people look so familiar?

For some reason, YaYa has a feeling that she's been turned 80.

It feels like four out of four people are driving patients, but you're the only one who isn't.

Seele, I miss you.

Having been dealt a blow, Alicia temporarily abandoned her idea of ​​seducing the beautiful girl and instead asked:

"So, what exactly is this place?"

“We don’t know either. Mei and I woke up here after encountering the strange fog. Bronya arrived earlier than us.”

"...This seems to be some kind of memory space. After encountering the enemy, Bronya noticed their unusual nature and feigned defeat to learn more about them, which led her here."

Bronya explained her assessment of the space and how she got there without batting an eye.

Upon hearing that she had feigned defeat, Alicia's expression turned slightly strange.

—Does your feigned defeat mean that even the heavily armored bunny was stolen by someone else?

However, she didn't expose Ya Ya's lie, but just looked at him with a smile.

Feeling flustered and uncomfortable under her gaze, Duck continued guiltily:

"After arriving here, Bronya met the shrine maiden named Yae Sakura, and then rescued a drowning person named Kallen. While helping her gather herbs, she encountered the idiot Kiana and Mei-neechan."

"And then, we met you."

Kiana took over Bronya's words and brought the process to a close.

"I see."

Hearing this, Alicia understood somewhat.

She remembered that before she came in, Jiang Qiao told her that the battle was not over yet.

The memory space... which means they still need to defeat something.

So, what are they going to do next?

Hmph, this is the kind of thing that comes down to my strategist, Alicia, stepping in!

Alicia, who had always dreamed of being a female strategist, pinched her chin and made a deliberately profound expression.

His reliable demeanor immediately made the three of them serious, thinking he had a plan, and they quickly asked:

"Alicia, what should we do next?"

"Um...how about we set the mountain on fire?"

Alice's brain was racing, but she had absolutely no clue what to do. She caught a glimpse of the mountains in Yae Village and instinctively came up with this solution.
