Chapter 770: The Tale of the Mechanized God ? (1/2)

As soon as Makina removed the hand covering her eyes, Alice spoke to her, sounding somewhat agitated.

[……In the first place, you see, isn't it a bit simplistic to say that breast size equals adult charm?]

[Ughh……]

[I mean, that magnanimity brimming from within, isn't that also part of an adult's charm?]

[……Fuu.]

[Oi, you scrap. What the heck is with that triumphant smile on your face?]

At the first point, Makina looked as if she had been struck in a sore spot, but Alice's following words made her leak out a relaxed smile…… And her gaze had moved towards Alice's breasts……

Alice knew immediately what that triumphant smile meant, so a vein popped out of her forehead as she stood up.

[……This is that, you know? The composure of someone who possesses them.]

[Tell you what, you're on the side of those who don't possess it. In fact, I'm impressed that you can be so proud just for your B-cup.]

[Fufun, say all you want, the difference between Alice and I is quite evident. The size of some lump of flesh isn't something of my concern.]

[……The same world creator as you, Shallow Vernal-sama, has a D-cup.]

[……That is…… a- a little bit…… concerning.]

[Your child, Hina-chan, is also a D-cup.]

[……I see…… I'm not…… big breasted at all…… Knowing the truth…… sure hurts, isn't it?]

Makina kept her composure when Alice used Lilia as an example since she isn't her own child…… but when it came to her friend, Shallow Vernal, and her child, Hina, she couldn't disregard them.

As a result, Makina's earlier triumphant expression disappeared, and depressed, her shoulders slumped.

[Well, there's really no point in worrying about those things…… I think it's time to resume training.]

[U- Unnn. You're right, the size of one's breasts doesn't determine one's charm after all! Alright, let's get back on track!!!]

[Your speed of recovery sure is as fast…… as ever……]

As soon as she heard Alice's words, Makina immediately changed her thoughts and put on a cheerful expression on her face. When Alice saw this, she wryly smiled and was about to resume training…… but she stopped speaking.

As if she had realized something big, the expression on her face looked extremely serious.

[……Alice?]

[……Makina, what did you just say before?]

[Eh? What are you talking about?]

[……”The day where my beloved child will love me will come soon”…… That's what you said, right?]

[………………….]

[Thinking that that's your objective…… What's with your usual outbursts? No, in the first place, isn't that strange? How is it that the ”omniscient and omnipotent you are interrupted at the right time every time by Kuro-san”…… Even if you wanted to be hindered, no matter how I think about it…… No, in the first place…… Why does it have to be ”your child who bares their fangs at you”? If you just want to be loved, wouldn't it be better if you looked towards your children who don't……]

Yes, that was the question that Alice noticed. If she takes Makina's earlier statement into account, it means that she is aware that she isn't loved by Kaito at the moment.

However, that wasn't something that could be seen from the usual her…… from Eden. And above all, the fact that she, who is supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent, is being prevented from acting by Kuromueina every time just doesn't add up.

And even more fundamentally, if Makina's goal was just as she said, to love her child to her heart's content…… Why had she set the standard for her beloved child to be someone that would bare their fangs at her?

And most importantly……

[……This is strange. How could I not have noticed this before?]

Yes, she should have had some questions that needed to be answered. But even Alice, with her brilliant mind, hadn't questioned this matter until now.

When Alice turned to Makina, shocked at what she had noticed…… she saw Makina have a somewhat troubled smile on her face.

[……Ahh, I've really blundered huh. It is as Alice said, I may have been somewhat clumsy…… ”I've made it” so that ”no one in Trinia would question that”…… but I forgot that ”this isn't my world and you're not affected by that anymore”.]

[……Makina, you are……]

[If it's alright with you, I'd rather you don't ask me any more questions…… This really isn't something I want to talk about.]

The expression on Makina's face as she wryly smiled looked somewhat sad, and she seemed to be expressing her desire not to step in this matter.
