A moment later, thanks to Miss Dodo's rescue, Klein was finally freed from Alicia's embrace.
The latter was still muttering:
"Why is it so small?"
"That's the armed doll technology that was prevalent in the previous civilization at a certain time. Her name is Klein, and she's a maintenance worker for the entire Paradise of the Past facility." Bronya looked slightly surprised by Raven's explanation and description, glancing at the extremely large facilities within the shelter.
"Such a large facility, is it really going to be maintained by this little guy all by himself?"
"Don't let her small size fool you, she's got a lot of skills."
Duck seemed to understand but not quite—of course, she actually felt that this was somewhat inhumane.
Such a large facility actually needs to be maintained by an armed puppet.
If this were happening outside the country—it would be condemned, absolutely condemned!
Bronya, who was born in Russia, felt the red blood in her veins throbbing—she could smell the scent of the street lamp ornament, and it was very close!
"Next, your consciousness will enter the Pure Land of the Afterlife, while I will take care of your bodies. Raven should have already told you the specifics."
Klein spoke succinctly.
Then, under her guidance...
Using specialized 'visitor' equipment, the Herrscher team entered the 'Paradise of the Past'.
It is worth mentioning that, upon knowing that their consciousness would soon enter the Pure Land of the Afterlife.
The fat lady kept repeating to herself, "I am Jiang Qiao, I am Jiang Qiao, I am Jiang Qiao."
Hmph, she's already made up her mind that once she enters Paradise, she'll use 'Jiang Qiao' to carry out her plan to get revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao!
The most important part of this plan, without a doubt, is to impersonate 'Jiang Qiao'!
As her consciousness blurred, having experienced the previous time she entered the Ghost Ear Stigmata Space, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Alicia instantly realized that she had entered the so-called 'Paradise of the Past'.
The first thing she did upon entering was to examine her own body.
next moment.
"Hahaha, I did it!"
Looking at the hand that undoubtedly belonged to [Jiang Qiao], Alicia, wearing the [Jiang Qiao] costume, revealed an extremely excited smile.
She learned this trick from the wicked Jiang Qiao!
By submitting to the body, one can transform the state of consciousness into one that aligns with the body.
Last time, in the stigma space of the bastard ears, the evil Jiang Qiao attacked directly in the form of 'Alicia' because of this method.
And this time, it's my turn, Ellie!
Using the methods taught by the wicked Jiang Qiao to get revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao—that feeling is just too damn satisfying!
Holding the boy's hands, the fat lady felt incredibly happy, even more so than when she had snatched the body of the wicked Jiang Qiao in real life.
"Hehe, now let me, Ellie, use this body to do whatever I want in this paradise of the past!"
With a wicked lick of her tongue, Alicia, who seemed to have already envisioned the success of her grand plan to take revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao, couldn't wait to begin exploring this area.
"...This place is really beautiful."
They seemed to have scattered as soon as they entered, and the area where the fat lady was located at this moment was an incredibly beautiful landscape, absolutely stunning under the afterglow of the twilight.
The piano and jewels, which look incredibly expensive, exude an aura of 'art'.
"The owner of this place must be very rich."
Alicia, who had originally entered this area with the intention of taking revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao, was quickly attracted by the scenery. At the same time, while feeling moved, she also felt a little more restrained.
The melodious and lingering piano music filled the air, incredibly beautiful. Even those who don't understand art could feel the moving melody upon hearing this performance.
This is the pinnacle of art.
It is enough to resonate with others.
Following the music, Alicia looked toward the piano. She couldn't see the sound clearly, but it seemed to be a red-haired, incredibly radiant woman, as if she were a work of art just by sitting there.
The figure seemed strangely familiar to her, who came from a previous civilization. As she listened quietly to the music, Alicia's heart gradually calmed down... The next moment, a little devil named Alicia appeared beside her, wearing a leather jacket, with sharp horns on its head, and holding a trident.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to get revenge on that bastard?! Get him!"
The next moment, another angel, Ellie, dressed as an angel and holding a harp, appeared.
"How could I be so rude to such a beautiful girl? I, Ellie, will never allow this!"
"Hmph, what rudeness! This is a necessary sacrifice to get revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao!"
"Kind fairies shouldn't do bad things!"
"All right!"
The two Alices were arguing wildly in her head, giving Alice a headache. Annoyed, she shook off the two annoying 'Annoying Alices'.
Then, she revealed a mischievous smile.
Hmph, getting revenge on that wicked Jiang Qiao is a must—provoking girls is the best way for me, Ai Li, to get revenge!
Yes, that's it. It's not that I, Ellie, want to play with cute girls... This is part of my plan to get revenge on the wicked Jiang Qiao!
Following this idea, the fat lady slowly approached the red-haired figure sitting by the piano.
"This beautiful lady..."
Before Alicia could finish speaking, the other person lowered their hand and met her gaze with their incredibly bright golden eyes.
At this moment, the fairy who had just seen the other's face was completely stunned and almost cried out in surprise:
—Eden?!
Fortunately, Alicia managed to hold back.
—Although she had not yet met Eden at that time, as the most dazzling artist and star of that era, the fairy lady, a socialite, could not possibly be unfamiliar with this famous person.
Therefore, the fat lady was shocked when Eden appeared before her eyes.
How could Eden appear in this place?
Logically speaking, a big star like Eden should be touring the world and holding concerts, right?
Oh! Ellie, I get it! Eden must have come here to play too!
Instantly, a reasonable explanation came to mind. The fat lady suppressed her inner excitement—this was the big star Eden! She had been thinking of finding time to go see his concert! She never expected to run into him in this place called Paradise of the Past.
Wow, that's a great deal!
While happy, the fat lady felt even more joyful.
This is Eden!
Using Jiang Qiao's body to flirt with Eden and then becoming Eden's good friend—if that Jiang Qiao knew about this, she would definitely be very envious and very annoyed, right?
At that time— Jiang Qiao: You mean Ai Li, how dare you deprive me of the experience of meeting a big star like Eden for the first time! I'm so angry!
Hahaha~ Just thinking about that scene makes Alicia incredibly excited, and her lips unconsciously curl into a wide grin.
You naughty Jiang Qiao, you stole my first experiences as 'Announcer Ai Li' and 'Teacher Ai Li', now watch me steal your experience of 'Meeting Jiang Qiao, a big star like Eden'!
Hmph, Eden belongs to Ellie!
Jiang Qiao can only be envious!
Perhaps, when Jiang Qiao and Eden meet, something even more wonderful might happen: — "Although I don't know who you are, you don't need to pretend to be Jiang Qiao."
Ellie, I still remember what happened with Mei!
Now that I have the chance, I have to get my revenge on that wicked Jiang Qiao!
I swear I will not be a fairy if I do not avenge this!
"Hello, I am Jiang Qiao."
Staring into those golden eyes, Alicia felt inexplicably guilty, even having the illusion that—could it be that Alicia has been seen through?—but she still maintained her usual 'Alicia smile' in front of Eden, relying on her confidence and wishful thinking.
—So refreshing! I never knew it was so fun to pretend to be someone else in front of others.
While saying the name 'Jiang Qiao' aloud, Alicia was secretly overjoyed.
Is this the fun of impersonation?
Hmph, that wicked Jiang Qiao has been doing these kinds of amusing things all along!
I've remembered this grudge, Airi! Later... no, right now, Airi, I'll get my revenge on you tenfold!!
"...You...Jiang Qiao?"
Upon hearing the name, Eden looked at 'Jiang Qiao' with a somewhat strange gaze, a development that instantly made Alicia's hair stand on end.
Masaka, did they find out about me, Ellie?
This...this...this can't be right, can it? Ellie, I don't know any celebrity like Eden!
"Hmm...her name is Jiang Qiao, okay...I understand."
After a moment of contemplation and brief confusion, Eden nodded with an extremely indulgent attitude.
Unaware of the special emotion revealed in that languid tone, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing those words.
