Survive in Azure Files

At this moment, I felt my heart was filled with anxiety. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

"I'm unwilling... How could this happen..." Tao Jing cried sadly, "Himari-senpai, you must have a way, right?"

"…Originally, I did, but it's too late now."

Himari sighed, "If I want to bring Alice back, I can only dive into her spiritual world. Not to mention how dangerous it is and whether I can connect, I don't even have the equipment to dive into it..."

In the extremely depressing atmosphere, I frowned:

"What did you say? Dive into the spirit world?"

"Well, this is the only way to save Alice, but..."

"…Hinami."

I interrupted her, my hand unconsciously reaching for my briefcase.

In order to be able to meet Saint Ya, a bottle of medicine is always kept in it.

"You said..." I asked in a deep voice, with some hope.

"Can androids dream?"

Chapter 132: My fucking amazing charm!

Under the protection of three people from the game development department, I drank the dream potion in the potion bottle.

"Do you really want to do this?"

Himari asked with a worried look on her face, "Can Alice's mental space, which is isolated deep inside the database, be considered her dream? This is a topic we have never explored before."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Hiru, why are you the one hesitating here? No matter whether it's feasible or not, you can't just not try it. Besides, don't you think it's all my fault? That's perfect, just consider it my atonement."

"I..." Himari's voice was as thin as a mosquito, "Actually, I never meant to blame you for this..."

I can’t really say why she verbally attacked me just now.

Especially, Himari is a very emotional girl, and perhaps, even she herself may not understand why she is angry.

I don’t have the time to think about it in detail for now, but I think it’s because he has a crush on me.

"The situation is urgent. Please let me at least try." I said hastily, "Help me command them and protect my body, but their safety is the most important. I have a trump card to save my life."

With the dual protection of Alona and the Name of God, Kai couldn't do anything to me for a while.

"Ah."

Passing through the numerous followers and automatons, I saw Kai who was repairing himself.

As the power of sensing the voice of my heart was activated, my eyes went dark. When I regained consciousness, I was already on the water surface reflecting the gorgeous sunset.

Then, an overwhelming feeling of guilt and self-blame swept through my whole body.

And this could only be Alice's voice.

Is it actually possible?

Sighing to myself, I didn't delay any further and focused my attention completely on this emotion.

My dream gradually became blurred, while Alice's dream gradually became clearer.

I looked around and suddenly realized that this was the place in the ruins where I first met Alice.

At this moment, the black-haired girl was sitting on the grass with her knees hugged. Not far in front of her was the dusty sword of light that was covered with moss and inserted diagonally on the platform.

I think Kay and Alice are probably two completely different individuals.

Given Kai's attitude towards the Sword of Light, how could this weapon appear in her dream?

I took a deep breath and walked towards Alice. When she heard my footsteps, she turned back suddenly, her eyes red with traces of tears.

"...Teacher?" She hesitated, "Why are you here... Could it be that Alice is dreaming?"

According to the card's criteria, Alice was really dreaming.

"Alice, I'm here to take you home."

I calmly held out my hand: "Come back with me."

However, Alice buried her head deeply in her knees again and cried:

"I'm sorry... Alice, it's all Alice's fault. The teacher got hurt..."

What nonsense is she talking about?

I frowned, but heard a cold and indifferent voice behind me:

"I was almost moved by the fact that you could actually come here. But it's useless. The princess has already seen everything she should have seen."

I turned around and saw Kai appeared there at some point.

They are indeed different beings.

I asked coldly, "What are you talking about?"

"What I did to you when I used the princess' body. And what you said about her in the meeting room afterwards. And just now, when you fought for her and got hurt..."

Kai stopped looking at me and looked at Alice. He said softly, "Why did these things happen? The answer is clear to the princess now."

...No, it's not like that.

I realized the problem almost instantly.

Kay definitely didn't show Alice the entire content. She just selected the part that was beneficial to her in order to deceive Alice.

For those experiences, just concealing the most critical part of them is enough to achieve the opposite effect.

I hurriedly said, "Alice, listen to me! It's not like that! I..."

However, Alice ignored me and laughed at herself, as if she was crying:

"Alice, you can't go back. If Alice stays with the teacher... it will hurt the teacher and everyone. The teacher almost died because of Alice... That's why the teacher has been avoiding Alice, right?"

Having said this, tears as big as beans slid down the girl's face.

"That's it, Princess." Kai was still fanning the flames, "This is our innate mission. Because this adult deceived us and hindered us, he must be eliminated."

"It's obviously you who deceived Alice!"

I scolded Kay, but she remained calm.

"Sorry……"

Alice almost burst into tears. "Alice is not a hero, but a demon king... She might destroy Kivotos one day, because... Alice was born as a demon king. If the demon king wants to stay with you and everyone else..."

She choked with sobs, and tried her best to give me a peaceful smile:

"Alice, it's only right to just disappear."

Listening to her words, I fell silent and finally understood what the most critical problem was.

Alice, who was originally simple-minded, was selectively deceived by Kay, and suffered a serious mental shock. Has she blamed all the faults on herself and thus fallen into a state of autism?

She didn't even know that Kai in the outside world was using her body to take the first step in destroying the world.

Given Alice's current mental state, if this fact were made known to her, it would probably only make her more devastated.

"Princess, don't trust this man who has already deceived us once. You already know that he is a guy who can say anything to achieve his goals."

Kai spoke abruptly.

"That's not the case..." Alice shook her head and retorted, "Because the teacher is a very gentle person, he would lie to comfort the hated Alice. However, Alice's existence will only cause trouble to the teacher and hurt him..."

Kai even used such despicable words to block my way of convincing Alice with facts.

I don't know what Kay told Alice, and I can't refute it specifically.

and so……

We must break out of the existing barriers.

Compared to Kai, who had already left Alice with a preconceived impression, I still had a huge advantage that could not be erased. That was——

My fucking amazing charm!

I smiled warmly, but my heart was full of anger.

You actually said that I only know how to lie?

well.

In that case, Kay.

Next, I will be the one who tells lies and completely steal your princess' heart!

Chapter 133 That must be me!

Even if Kai made Alice believe that destroying the world was her innate and inviolable mission, he could not change the established fact.

Since Alice is really just Alice, she would not be willing to become the princess of the nameless gods from the bottom of her heart as Kai hoped.

It is precisely because he knows this that Kai has no choice but to lie.

So, what I have to do is very simple.

"Alice," I asked, "are you sure you don't want to be around me and everyone else?"

It was just a soft whisper, but it caused the girl's body to tremble.

"Alice... Alice's existence will only hurt everyone..."

"Princess, this is the meaning of our existence."

Kai's words made Alice's tears, which had just been barely stopped, fill up her eyes uncontrollably again.

"Teacher, you actually hate Alice, right?" Alice said in a trembling voice, "Because Key used Alice's body to kill the teacher, the teacher is afraid of Alice, is on guard against Alice, and doesn't trust Alice..."

"That's right."

From the corner of my eye, I saw a humane look of disbelief in Kay's eyes, as if he had never expected that I would interrupt Alice and acknowledge him.

Alice was also confused for a moment, and then she said in a tone that was clearly disappointing but tried to pretend not to care:

“Yes, yes… That’s how it is… So, teacher, please stop caring about Alice…”

"Stop trying to interfere with the princess' mission."

I ignored Kay and asked Alice, "Why?"

"Eh?"

"After that, although you didn't know the reason, you had already vaguely realized this, so you made your best efforts to win me back, didn't you? Could it be that you decided to give up and stop the loss because you felt that you were powerless to change the situation?"

I shook my head and sighed, saying in disappointment: "It seems that your feelings for me are just this much."

Hearing this, Alice stopped crying and stood up in a hurry. She pulled my sleeve with tears in her eyes and argued in panic:

"No, that's not the case!"

Kai was stunned: "King, princess?"

Stupid AI who doesn't understand Alice's attachment to me, is he dumbfounded now?

I can't understand what my charm is.

However, I was also surprised that it was so easy for Alice to get out of her autistic state where she couldn't communicate normally.

It seems that Alice's feelings for me are far beyond my imagination.

When I realized this fact, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

But when I tried to hold Alice's hand, she subconsciously dodged.

I knew that this was because she hadn't gotten over it yet, so I didn't force her, but smiled.

"It's just a joke. Anyway, Alice, now that you can calm down a little, let's talk frankly."

I glanced at Kai and added, "On the premise of ignoring that guy."

"What do you want to do? You are just trying to trick the princess." Kai frowned. "What a stupid trick! The princess already knows her responsibilities and will not be easily swayed by you!"
