Chapter 929: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ④ (2/2)

While Kaito tilted her head in wonder, Eden…… or rather, Makina, who was currently controlling Eden's body, was thinking about her last-ditch countermeasure.

The story regarding this countermeasure, which also astonished Kaito, goes back to a few days ago.

[……Yes?]

[Please, Alice! Help me!!!]

[……No, I don't understand what you mean though?]

During a break in their training, which had become a regular occurrence, Alice gave Makina a dubious look as she clasped her hands together, asking her for help.

[I want to go out with my beloved child too! I really want to!!! But you see, my love for my child overflows easily, and I don't want to be interrupted by that.]

[…..Why don't you just make sure you don't go out of control?]

[That's impossible! My child is just so cute that I want to lick him all over his body, and I think it is actually rude of others to not go out of control before my cute child……]

[Thank you for your hard work. I'm going home, ‘kay?]

[Waaaaaaaiiiiiiiiittttt!]

[Eiiii! Stop clinging on to me! Hands off! ……Hahhh…… In the end, what do you want me to do?]

Alice was about to run away because she thought things would be troublesome, but when she saw Makina clinging to her, half-crying…… She eventually let out a big sigh and decided to listen.

[Unnn, as I was saying, if I go out of control, I want Alice to do something to stop me!]

[You're asking for the impossible, don't you think……]

[Aliiiiice, you can do something, right?]

[……Why would I go to all that trouble…….]

[I've been helping out Alice a lot, haven't I?]

[……Mnhhh, if you say it like that…… Hmmm.]

When she heard the words Makina cried out, Alice, who certainly had been helped in various situations recently, felt uncomfortable about turning down Makina's request.

In the end, Alice finally gave in…… and became the last-ditch countermeasure for preventing Makina from going out of control.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: [……You, eh? You can stop Makina's rampages?]

? ? ? : [……I can't say I am able to always make it work, but if it's just a few times…… I have several plans I could make use of, but the point is, I should catch Makina off guard and empty out her thoughts. It's not a move that can be used more than once though…… Well, I guess you'll find out how I did it in detail next time.]
