"So you think the alchemy skill is what you were born with?

"Ranri! I'm just saying, in fact, my skills have grown since I was 20 years old, and teenagers only had the strength to weed there compared to Elle."

"Hmm? Excuse me, but how old are you now...?

"I'm 45 this year."

Zawa...... and the indoor starts to twitch. It has now been a few hours since then and it is nighttime. Marie was receiving a press conference at the association for her second ever Bi star, Blue Stella.

And I, Phee, and Rafe were staring at it. Even so, I'm worried Marie might say something strange, but the meeting is going smoothly, as she seems to have some out-of-the-box common sense.

"It looks trivial. It's the contents that matter."

"Ha... ha..."

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

"Uhm."

And the next reporter throws a question.

"I hear you've drastically repainted the record Elweed Willis has, the first Bitstar Blue Stella, but do you think your strength is better than yours?

"... this too, Run! I just want to say, the truth is, I can't say anything. Some parts are good for Elle, others are inferior. Depending on what you might define as above, I don't think I'm above Elle. He's not a genius among the geniuses I admit."

"I see... are you a rival?

"Rivals? I don't have that kind of consciousness... well, I want to have a good relationship with him. For future research."

"Speaking of research, what is Mr. Marie majoring in?

"It's... it's a secret..."

The meeting proceeded to the wind and ended in about an hour or so. That appearance was also relayed in real time within the kingdom, and it became a well-known fact that an alchemist named Marie Blanc became the second Bi star, Blue Stella.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!? You can live in a place like this!!?

"Fine. It's my stuff. I have a spare room, and I'll lend you a room."

"Fee! Are you a god!?

"No, when they say that much... hey"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

Marie's residence became the same floor of the same apartment as ours. Fortunately, the room is still empty, and even if only three of us use it, me, Fee and Monica, we have extra room. That's why we talked about giving Marie a room. Of course, they trade contracts and pay the rent every month, but if you become a Bitstar Blue Stella, you won't have any research expenses or any financial problems. If the results of the research are also produced, in addition, there will be more money. I don't say anything about money is the most important thing, but still, I've never crossed it.

By the way, I hear Phee did all the formalities.

"... oh!? Beautiful room!?

"Well, I'm not using it."

"Ooh!? The bed is not fluffy!?

"Yeah. So you're not using it. And I kept some new furniture in my tequila."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!? God!?

"No, I'm human..."

and the two of us interacted like that and after a while Marie's tension finally settled down to talk about the future.

Even so, Rafe said in my room, "I sleep because I'm sleepy. I'll take care of my future plans," he said. Already went to bed. Marie also sleeps with a big ibiki, "Guuuuuuuuuu". Well, I don't have a problem just talking to Phee with me.

"So, Phee. What are we gonna do now?

"We're heading to the Fifth Labyrinth, but the problem is that even Leviataine can't melt the ice. Maybe it's not just ice."

"... no, it wouldn't be ten or eighty-nine regular ice. undoubtedly involves alchemy, or magic"

"Right. But I can't seem to get inside it."

"Honestly, use my eyes and you'll figure it out. There is no substance that can't interfere with me right now. It can be easily erased from the ice…"

"What are those eyes, after all?

"It's..."

I scratched and explained. The unique name for the idiosyncratic ability "Dunamis" that spoke is Elemental Eye "Decoding Site". The first material, PrimaMateria, can be visualized, so that it can also interfere with the code that resides in the organism. That's why we were able to instantly return the giant Kraken to the first material, PrimaMateria, using the anti-matter "anti-material" code.

"That's amazing... but the price is still..."

"So far, if I remove this eyelid, it will strike me with severe pain. I haven't put it under complete control yet."

"... hey, are you okay? I'm so worried..."

"Well, let me handle it. Dada doesn't call me a genius, I'll do something about it."

"Then... fine"

After that, I packed up more stories and made plans for the future. That's how I tried to leave the room, and somehow Alice stood in front of the door.

"Hey Alice... you always say... what's up?

……

I'm trembling. And things are not right. Usually he hugs me and even one of the light-mouths says yes, but today he's still shivering with a hug on me. I've never seen Alice like this before.

"Are you all right?

……

What's the matter? I have Rafe in my room, and there won't be any stores outside that are open right now. If…….

"You want to go to my lab? Because now my room has Rafe."

……

He snorted and I jumped all the way to the lab using the metastasis.

"Can I have some tea?

……

As always, I'm not trying to talk to you. He has a dark face, staring down. The tremor seemed to have stopped, but the look never cleared up.

"Look, tea"

When I put it on my desk with Ton, Auntie and Alice put their hands on it.

My impression of Alice so far was that she was a prankster and a bright princess. I don't know about the filth, the darkness, the radiance of the bottom. I've never seen Alice unwell before. But I'm sure that was my assumption. This is the kind of person Alice is. That's prejudice, not everything. There will be aspects of it that you haven't shown me, and this is how it's becoming a reality now.

In the meantime, I decided to listen to what happened.

"What's up? What happened? What happened? Is that something you can help me with?

"... teacher, about me... what do you think?

"Valued student."

"Why don't you think about it without the students?

"Valued friend... Anyway, you're one of those people that matters to me"

"Really..."

Boo and Alice staring at the sky through the window.

What the hell happened?

"Does the teacher care, even if I'm no longer me?

"? What do you mean?

"No, it doesn't mean a lot. But I want someone to take care of it... that's all"

"Does that mean answer your feelings?

"Oh... you were aware. But that's not what I'm saying."

I was aware of Alice's feelings. Always kidding and getting involved with me, but I understood that was coming from my love affair for me. I have no experience of falling in love, but Alice knew she admired me in a romantic emotional way.

Because I was reading some serious emotions, even in the face of joking.

But he doesn't mean to answer that.

What the hell...?

"Doctor, you're going to the labyrinth again, right?

"Oh. I finished class this evening, and I gave you a lot of assignments. We're going to be in the labyrinth for a while."

"Then I'll let you talk to me when the teacher returns...... thank you for taking the time today"

That's what Alice said and left the room.

The only question in my mind was the infinite question.

And the next time I saw Alice, I regretted this moment. But I had no reason to know that now.
