Chapter 295 Cant You Be a Bit More Serious!? (1/2)
It seems like it would be a long story, so Alice prepared a cup of tea, which I accepted and then faced her in the living room’s table.
[……I wonder where I should start……. I guess it should be who I am, right?]
[…………….]
[I’m like Kaito-san, a being that came to this world from “another world”…… Well, it’s a different world from the one Kaito-san was in.]
[……Unnn.]
The fact that Alice is a being from another world clears up the phrases she has used so far.
Since I had come here from my world, there is no reason why others also couldn’t come, and I wasn’t surprised about this.
However, I was surprised by the words that followed.
[And also…… I’m “human”…… No, I guess it would be better to say that I was human.]

What does that mean? At the very least, Alice’s physical and magical abilities far surpass her limits as a human.
Does that mean she was reincarnated from a Human to a Demon like Neun-san? No, it’s too early to assume that. Let’s just listen to Alice’s story first.
[……I lived in a world that was a little less civilized than this one now, where Humans like elves and dwarves don’t exist, only humans.]
[……That’s similar to the world I was in.]
[Yes, that’s right. The only difference is that…… compared to this world, there were a lot more monsters in my world, and there were a lot of adventurers and guilds.]
Slowly, as if remembering the past, Alice talks about the world she used to live in.
I only had a hunch about it, but the world Alice was in…… it had an image of what I had imagined a fantasy other world would be before I was summoned to this world.
[I was an adventurer in that world with my “partner”……. Well, if I do say so myself, at that time, I was weak and had no talent…… At best, I would be someone among the mid-to-low-end tier.]
[……Eh? Alice was?]
[Yes, it was a magical world, so I was able to use magic, but I didn’t know what to do with it either.]

[………………….]
I honestly can’t imagine it. To me, I thought of Alice as a bundle of talent, someone who could do anything, and a being with power that is near the top of this world.
However, Alice talks about herself as having no talent and being weak.
[It’s just, well, our world has the power of magic that overturns talent…… It’s through the power of the “Heart Tool”.] (T/N: 心具 / Shingu.)
[Heart Tool?]
[They’re magic created by humans, who lack the strong bodies and sharp fangs of the monsters, to fight against these beings……. It’s a “magic that generates your heart(shin) as a weapon”. The stronger the belief that the user had in her heart, the stronger her Heart Tool is. Just as the human’s mind(shin) holds no limits, it’s also a weapon that grows along with the mind.]
[……T- That kinda sounds amazing……]
[Ahaha, it looks great on the surface, but in my world, 90% of the adventurers could use this magic…… The Heart Tool is the heart of the user herself, and each person’s Heart Tool has different shape and ability……. Incidentally, my Heart Tool is the Ἑκατόγχειρες that Kaito-san saw yesterday.]
Alice’s Heart Tool, Ἑκατόγχειρες…… Was it those meteor-like lights swirling around Alice? That’s kind of cool, it’s like having your own special ability in a certain battle manga. I wonder what kind of ability does Alice’s Heart Tool has though?
When such a question popped out of my mind, Alice explained with a smile, as if she understood it.

[My Heart Tool, Ἑκατόγχειρες…… It has the ability to temporarily use the ability of the people I have weaved a bond with……. those I care about, and also cares about me.]
[A- Amazing……]
[Ἑκατόγχειρες by itself has no fighting power…… It can’t do anything by itself, but the more bonds I weave, the stronger it becomes…… I had such an ability back then.]
That really sounds like an ability that a protagonist would have…… Hmmm, as a boy, hearing such an ability really gets me excited.
[Now then, going back to the story…… Back when I was an adventurer, I’ve always been searching for a person.]
[A person?]
[Yes…… It’s my “little sister who lived apart from me at an early age”.]
[ ! ? ]
[Ahh, incidentally, it’s nothing that serious. My parents just got divorced and my father took custody of me while mother took care of my little sister.]

I thought this might be the core of the story, but it wasn’t at all huh…… H- Hmmm. I wonder what this feeling of disappointment upon hearing something unrelated……
[Well, even if it was me, her big sister that’s saying this, my little sister was an angel! She’s so cute, so talented, and yet, she isn’t haughty at all! My little sister is the most beautiful woman in the world! She’s a real angel! If I was a man, I would definitely have asked her hand in marriage!!! I mean, my little sister even told me when she was little that “she would be Big Sister’s wife”! By the way, she also told me that when we met again! Geez, her gesture looks so cute at that moment……]
