Chapter 714: Introduction ② (2/2)

However, it was only because Alice's acting is far better than Fate…… Rather, when it comes to her inner thoughts, Alice was far more dangerous than the uninterested Fate.

Alice is a former human and understands the feelings between parents and children. However, her priority will always be Kaito, and she won't let down her guard, even against Kaito's parents.

Currently, Alice is trying to determine whether Akari and Kazuya's existence will be inadvisable to Kaito or not.

(They were treated quite hospitably at Lilia-san's mansion, but they don't seem to be growing impudent. In fact, it seemed like they were feeling apologetic instead. ”I did peek inside their minds”…… but it seemed like they're fine at the moment. Depending on the situation, I thought about ”educating” them without telling Kaito-san, so that they wouldn't dare think about anything strange…… but it doesn't seem like such a thing is needed. I still need to be vigilant though.)

Their behavior after coming back to life didn't seem to be too bad for Alice, and she relaxed her guard against them a little.

(Well, there have been records of people growing impudent after getting used to life in this world, so I can't be too optimistic, but if things don't get complicated, it would be for the best.)

Even as Alice was envisioning all the possible patterns that this couple could make in her mind, on the surface, her conversation with them was quite friendly.

Seeing my parents and Alice conversing with each other with smiles on their faces, I felt relieved.

I'm glad Alice and Fate-san are friendlier to them more than I thought they'd be…… Fate-san found the meeting troublesome and wanted to go home early, but well, I guess that's just like Fate-san.

Anyway, since all that's left is Kuro, I'm somehow glad that everything ended peacefully.

[Excuse me, I've brought you some more tea.]

[Ah, yes. Thank…… you?]

[……………….]

After an orderly knock, I saw a person come in pushing a cart with tea…… and I stiffened. Alice, who was sitting next to me, was also dumbfounded, ”loosening her grip on the tea cup she was holding”.

No, there was nothing wrong with Alice's reaction. If I had my own tea cup in hand right now, I would have dropped it too.

No, seriously, I don't understand what the heck is happening right now.

Someone, anyone…… Please explain what's happening to me!!!

For a situation like this to happen…… what course of events occurred……

Why the heck is ”Eden-san in a maid uniform, pushing a cart into this room”!?

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [If I'm not mistaken, Eden-san is quite popular with the readers, isn't she? However, not as a heroine, but as ”the dangerous person who suddenly makes her entrance”……]
