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

"?!"

Kiana and the other two's gazes instantly turned to doubt.

Bronya was also somewhat speechless at the suggestion made by this unfamiliar girl:

"Are you serious?"

Ok.

This solution doesn't seem to be a bad idea; on the contrary, it's quite feasible.

Since it's a space of memories, if we destroy the space, then the mastermind behind it will have nowhere to escape, right?

This method is something I'm very familiar with, really very familiar with.

Simple, straightforward, direct, and effective.

Someone will definitely give it a thumbs up after seeing this.

"forget it."

As the one who proposed the plan, Alicia was the first to deny its existence.

She wanted to be a female Zhuge Liang, but she wanted to be a female Zhuge Liang full of wisdom and strategy, not a real "female Zhuge Liang" who could set fires.

Even knowing that this world is just a world of memories, looking at those living faces and that cute girl named Yae Sakura, Alicia really couldn't bear to set the mountain on fire.

Sniffing the air, Alicia frowned and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"By the way, have you guys smelled something strange?"

"weird smell?"

"There's no strange smell... wait, there really is! I know that smell, it's the smell of burnt food! My old man used to make the house smell like this every day when he used the Heavenly Judgment of Fire to cook!"

"Wait, it's burnt..."

The group of people who had just realized what was happening looked sharply in the direction from which the smell was coming, and saw thick smoke billowing up above the town.

Chapter Sixty-One: Bell, would you be more familiar with it this way?

The entire Yae Village was covered in orange-red flames, with unusual starlight faintly visible.

That was a sign that the memory space itself had been attacked.

The source of this flame is the castle tower.

When Alicia and the others arrived at the scene, they saw a pink girl standing alone on the wooden steps, facing a giant cherry blossom-colored dog-fox.

Wait... pink girl?!

Kiana and the others stared wide-eyed at the familiar figure from behind.

"If that one belongs to Alicia, then this one next to us..."

"It's Alicia!"

Noticing the offensive gazes of the bystanders, Alicia angrily clenched her fist, her whole body puffed up with rage.

"Then, could it be that—"

There was no doubt that the useless fat lady was the real Alicia. Once they understood this, looking at the pink figure ahead, Kiana and the others instantly had their answer.

"Huh? You're here?"

Perhaps sensing the gazes or the undisguised whispers, she turned her head and looked slightly surprised when she saw Alicia and the others.

"What on earth is going on with you?!"

Alicia, who hurriedly ran to Jiang Qiao's side, looked at the [Alicia] in front of her who looked exactly like herself, feeling both puzzled and very curious.

She had come to understand why she looked like Alicia.

After all, this is a space of memories, and Alicia, who is essentially Alicia, will naturally appear in Alicia's form.

But Jiang Qiao's version just doesn't seem right, does it?!

Especially the feel, it's exactly the same!

"Honestly, even though it's your body, at least show me some respect!"

[Alicia] slapped away the restless little hand and gave Alicia a chop to the head. Alicia glanced at him with some annoyance.

He turned his head to look at the large fox not far away and casually explained:

"It's probably because I'm using your body."

The brain is where a person stores memories, so it's not strange that he, using the body of [Alicia], is standing here in the form of [Alicia], right?

Of course, if she wants, Jiang Qiao can also choose to stand here in her Jiang Qiao form.

However, due to his physical condition, the default memory form of [Alicia]'s body was [Alicia] from the beginning. Since it didn't bother him and might even be beneficial in the upcoming battle, he didn't bother to adjust it.

"You're lying, I'm exactly the same as I always have been."

Although Alicia's academic qualifications were not impressive and somewhat useless, she considered herself not stupid but a very smart girl, and she still noticed the loopholes in Jiang Qiao's words.

If what Jiang Qiao said is true, then I should be standing here in Jiang Qiao's form.

Or rather, I should be able to become like Jiang Qiao, but after trying, it's simply impossible.

"Hmm? Well, maybe you just didn't use it properly."

Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow and made a rough guess.

He wasn't sure whether his exchange with Alicia was at the level of consciousness or at the level of the soul.

But all he knew was that this body of [Alicia] held no secrets for him anymore; it had been completely exploited!

As for her own body, Jiang Qiao had no idea how well Alicia was using it.

"..."

Alicia was silent for a moment, then smiled and laughed: "Haha, I can actually transform, can't I? But I definitely prefer a girl's appearance to a boy's!"

If Jiang Qiao can transform into my appearance, then if I admit that I can't transform into Jiang Qiao at all, wouldn't that be tantamount to saying: I'm useless!

Kiana and her two companions were completely baffled by the conversation between the two and could only stand there in place.

Only then did Alicia recall the flames outside, and quickly asked:

"By the way, Jiang Qiao, what happened to those?"

"Haven't you already seen it? It's on fire."

Jiang Qiao, who had just casually responded, smiled and looked at Fei Yu Wan not far away, saying with a light laugh:

"Since it's also a space of memories, I tried it out of curiosity. Although it might not be as frenzied as his, by a girl's standards, isn't this raging inferno exceptionally hot?"

"After all, this world isn't a large, well-developed facility like Paradise; it's merely a microcosm supported by a single Stigmata."

"Paradise?"

Upon hearing those two words, Alicia's eyes lit up. "Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao, what is this paradise you're talking about?"

The fat lady was unusually interested in paradise.

After all, the name 【Alissia】 comes from the word for paradise.

Her wish is to find the paradise in the story.

"Yes, it's a very interesting place. I think you'll probably like it."

"Don't worry, you might have a chance to go there later."

"But for now, let's put aside the small talk for a bit."

The pink-haired girl smiled, her long pink hair, bound by a hair clip, swaying behind her with each subtle movement. She looked at the ferocious-looking fox before her and spoke:

"Rin, if Sakura saw you like this, she would be very sad and upset, wouldn't she?"

Jiang Qiao had no interest in simply going through the motions of playing the Cherry Blossom Reincarnation dungeon.

Rather than wasting time on this, he'd much rather resolve this quickly and get back to the rich lady's concert.

"so--"

"Let's end this fight quickly, shall we?"

"Hmph, the end?"

Hiyokumaru's condition was very unstable due to Jiang Qiao's constant attempts to awaken his dead memories, but he still maintained his arrogance.

Or rather, why shouldn't it be arrogant?

"This entire world of memories is my domain. How do you think you can fight me?"

While the annihilating flames, as perceived from mere impressions, could indeed force it out, they were certainly not enough to destroy the world!
