Chapter 156: Alice's Melancholy Part 3

"I'm going! Please let me be reincarnated!"

"……Do you get it. Do you have any hopes? I won't consider it at all, but I'll ask anyway.''

“Anything is fine as long as I can meet Himeka-chan again!”

``Hehe, that's a good thing. Well...I'll give you one piece of advice based on your friendship.''

“Yes, yes.”

“Stop the demon invasion. Please delay it even if it's just for a minute or a second. otherwise……"

　

“Well, otherwise?”

"Your dearest friend is going to die. And I'll never see her again.''

“Oh, I understand!”

Majin? Invasion? To be honest, I have no idea, but I guess we have no choice but to do it. 

``That's a good answer. I don't hate girls like you. My name is Irise, the creator god. I wish you all the best in your new life...go ahead.''

As soon as the goddess finished speaking, my consciousness went dark. 

When I woke up, I was in a place I'd never seen before, a scenery I'd never seen before. 

　

I hurriedly checked myself. 

The memory remains intact. 

I think this must be something special. Thank you, Ilize. 

And the problem is my appearance. 

Apparently she has the body of a child? And she has smooth blonde hair!! She is wearing a luxurious costume that looks very expensive. Judging from the situation, is she a noble's daughter or a princess? 

"Your Highness Alice! I'm glad you came to a place like this."

Who is it? A beautiful woman with blonde hair and gold eyes is calling me. 

“Ugh!?”

In the next moment, a huge amount of memories and knowledge flowed into my brain. It belongs to Alice, the original master of this body. 

I see... Alice was originally supposed to die here. 

A typical demon royal family who is noble and cruel. 

People feared that she was a ruthless princess, as she would execute anyone who displeased her one after another. 

Alice was poisoned to death out of hatred for her family being killed, but her body was replaced with mine. 

Perhaps due to the power of the goddess, the poison has completely disappeared and her body is in perfect health. 

“Thank you for your concern, Sieglinde.”

“So, Your Highness would like to thank me…”

Sieglinde was so surprised that she froze. 

I wonder how bad it must be to react like this. I take a deep breath. 

　

There's something I learned after acquiring Alice's memories. 

The demon invasion operation is a national project. 

The plan has been in progress for several decades, and there isn't much time left. 

Stop this? There's no way I can. But if I don't do it, Himeka-chan will die. 

I rouse up my heart, which is about to wither, and tell it. 

“Hey, Sieglinde, it looks like you’re going to be busy from now on, right?”

It's been 7 years since then. 

My Confidant Zero, Elsie, Sonia. 

They are like younger sisters who I took in and raised the orphaned children of the family that Alice executed. 

There is no reason to be grateful, just to be hated. 

But they risked their lives for me. 

Thanks to their secret efforts, they were unable to stop the invasion operation itself, but they were able to delay it. 

And for this large-scale invasion operation, they succeeded in only dispatching the advance troops. 

Thank you. I'm really grateful. But... will I be able to reciprocate their feelings? 

``Sieglinde...run away, even if it's just you.''

I feel a bad presence and let Sieglinde run away. 

By the way, this is the place where I met you for the first time seven years ago. 

And the place where Alice was poisoned. 

Although I don't know what the cause and effect is... 

"I'm sorry, but I ask His Highness to disappear for a while..."

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by assassins. 

“Please stop. You know my power, right?”

“Of course I know. So here you go...''

``I-I'm sorry. Your Highness Alice...''

The captured Sieglinde looks down in frustration. 

(It was a mistake to miss Sieglinde first...but!)

"cancel!!"

My unique skill ``Cancel'' allows me to cancel the results of my opponent's actions. 

“Ah, Your Highness Alice!”

The captured Sieglinde is released by canceling. 

"Damn, it's troublesome... but that's to be expected."

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

The magic seal of explosion appears in Sieglinde's life core. 

『Kukukuku, no matter how skilled His Highness is, if the person involved is

There's nothing I can do if I'm not there.''

The effective time of the cancel skill is 10 seconds. Results before that cannot be canceled. 

The magic seal can only be canceled by the user himself. 

In the worst case scenario, it is possible to stop the activation by killing the caster, but there are too many candidates. 

It's a completely illegal act, but it means that the enemy is cornered. 

"…………Understood. You will be arrested quietly, so please guarantee Sieglinde's safety.''

``And, Your Highness, it's no good! Now that it's like this, I won't be able to help you anymore.'' Please leave me alone!!''

　

I know Sieglinde is right in her desperate appeal. Even if I obey, there is no guarantee that the enemy will keep his promise. 

　

But... Sieglinde. Even if I abandoned you and was able to reunite with Himeka-chan, I definitely wouldn't be able to laugh. 

You, who supported me by my side for seven years when I was alone in this world, are just as important to me.　

I'm sorry, Himeka-chan...I'm sorry, Zero, Elsie, and Sonia. 

“Huh, yeah, as long as you stay quiet, I’ll keep my promise, so don’t worry――Gubeah!?”

Suddenly, one of the assassins is blown away and loses consciousness. 

"Hold back, Gero!! Isn't Her Highness Alice going to be tainted?"

『Eh... Sonia?』

“We won’t tolerate any further violence.”

“Gah, Tenth and Eleven!? Why are Numbers here?”

The assassins are upset. 

I was surprised when Sonia suddenly appeared, but Tenth and Eleven are the commanders of the advance team and are actually enemies. I do not understand the meaning. 

``Okay, now we've caught everyone. How about that, Elsie!”

"Yes, this is perfect too, Zero-sama."

Zero? Until Elsie? 

"Hey, everyone...but Sieglinde..."

"It's okay, Your Highness Alice, I killed the culprit."

“Ah, you are the Force!? Why you?”

``Because of the orders of our master, Kurokage-sama.''

Ku, Kurokage-sama!? Who are you? 

“The Lord is the one who will become Her Highness Alice’s companion.”

『S-Sonia? What are you doing without permission...』

The only person I like is Oumi-san for the rest of my life. 

``Kurokage-sama is a wonderful person. Our lives were also saved.''

Until Zero and Elsie... 

“You saved my life, so I will do my best to thank you, but I have no intention of marrying anyone in my life!!!”

"'Your Highness Alice...'"

Then Kakeru, also known as Kurokage-sama, who treated Sieglinde, arrives. 

“Ah, Lord.”

``Kurokageden''

``Kurokage-sama''

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness Alice. I'm Kakeru. I'm from another world. I'm sorry for being selfish. Don't worry about it---"

“Let’s get married!”

"What?"

"""What?"""
