Chapter 170 Everyones Wishes (1/2)
The Six Kings are all Kuro’s former baby birds, and while I was stunned by Alice’s words as she told me that…… Alice continued to speak with a serious tone.
[Let’s put aside the battle with the God Realm for now, as it isn’t really that relevant right now. What’s important is that we’ve all known Kuro-san for a long time…… and we naturally know what she wishes.]
[……………..]
Kuro once told me in the Spirits’ Forest that there was something she had always wanted, but couldn’t have.
In the end, I still didn’t know what it is until now…… And I honestly can’t even imagine what exactly it is that Kuro can’t get.
After a brief pause, Alice continues to speak with her face slightly down.
It wasn’t just Alice, but also Isis-san, Megiddo-san, and Magnawell-san as well…… though I couldn’t see Magnawell-san’s face, but all of them looked chagrined.
[……You can already see from the fact that Kuro-san is still looking for it right now……. Even now, we still couldn’t find the one she wanted……]
[The one Kuro wanted?]
[……Yes. That’s because our power isn’t enough…… From Kaito-san’s point of view, we may appear overwhelmingly powerful. But still, “it’s still not even close to reaching Kuro-san’s feet”…… I will clearly say it now. Even if the five of us fought with all of our strength and risked our lives for it, we wouldn’t be able to inflict a single wound on Kuro-san…… That’s how large the difference in power is.]

[ ! ? ]
I obviously knew that Kuro was strong, and from Megiddo-san’s reaction, I understood that she was superior to the other Six Kings.
However, I didn’t think that even if all the other Six Kings, all having abilities beyond common sense, were to work together, they wouldn’t be able to inflict a single wound on her.
[Kuro-san is the only being in this world…… that can kill the absolute God, Shallow Vernal-sama. Her dimension of power is clearly different from ours.]
This world’s most powerful being, Shiro, who has near-omnipotent power…… can be killed by Kuro. How strong is she? I honestly can’t even picture it in my head.
Thereupon, Alice moved her gaze away from the ground…… and staring at the empty skies, she muttered with a sad voice.
[However, she is…… too kind. Treating dearly those who live in the world and loving the changing world…… She’s a helplessly kind person…… And ironically, that’s also what has resulted in Kuro-san continuous suffering.]
[……Kuro’s suffering? What does that……]
[I can’t say any more than that. If I tell you, I’m sure Kaito-san will stand in front of Kuro-san with that in mind…… and it wouldn’t have any meaning anymore.]
[It would lose its meaning?]

[Yes…… You can just be yourself above all else and stay true to yourself as you tell Kuro-san how you feel for her…… I believe that is the only way to save Kuro-san.]
I don’t know…… Neither what Alice is saying, nor what Kuro is seeking…… I completely don’t know.
However, Alice said that Kuro is in trouble and she wants me to save her…… Then, I don’t need to think about anything else.
If Kuro needs help and I can do something about it…… I would struggle to the death to reach my hand out to Kuro. There’s no need to be puzzled about anything.
[……Kaito-san…… You really are quite the fantastic person…… Here.]
[What’s this?]
As if to see the intentions gathered in my mind, Alice smiled and held out…… A shiny, golden fruit, and since she’s giving it to me, I reflexively received it.
[Before you tell Kuro-san of your feelings, please give it to her…… and I’m sure, no, Kuro-san will definitely…… “reject” you.]
[……Eh?]
No, no, I’m trying to tell her my feelings here, so wouldn’t it be all useless if she will definitely reject me…..

.
[That person has been seeking for that being for too long. Hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years…… A long time has passed to the point that she judged it as impossible and given up on it…… That’s why, even if such a miracle appears in front of her, she won’t be able to believe it. I’m sure you’d also feel terrified of being suddenly offered something that you’ve been looking for and haven’t been able to get.]
[……………..]
[And that’s when the game begins. Kuro-san will strongly reject you. However, turning that around, the depths hidden beneath Kuro-san’s heart that she usually keeps hidden will come out…… What you will do at that time, I will leave it to Kaito-san. Find out what Kuro-san truly feels, and then, reveal the answer.]
[……Alright.]
As usual, I don’t know what that means. However, I’ve long been ready for this.
In short…… I guess that means Kuro is just like me, hiding her true feelings in the shell she created for herself so long ago, and even she can’t break it anymore.
