"I heard you've been in Northern Europe researching cuisine all this time, so why the sudden decision to come back?"
Jaden took the suitcase from Alice's hand, watching other Totsuki employees move her equipment down. He was a bit puzzled and also a little helpless:
"And what's with you and Erina playing this 'surprise' thing... But, honestly, she should be very happy you're back. After all, she's usually easily misunderstood. Apart from me, you and Hisako are probably the only people she can let her guard down in front of. Even her grandfather can't manage that."
Nakiri Alice lightly snorted when Jaden mentioned the first half, but after hearing him say the word 'grandfather,' her expression immediately became gossipy. She patted Jaden and asked:
"You've already changed what you call him, so does that mean your relationship with Erina...?"
"We'll get engaged when she's old enough."
Jaden said casually, but he couldn't help but let a faint smile hang on his lips when he mentioned it.
"Alright, stop talking about us. I should take you to find Erina."
"Okay~! But talk to me about you and Erina on the way~!"
"...Fine."
With that, Jaden led Alice toward Totsuki.
"Erina, I suddenly want to see the training grounds!"
"That's so like you."
"Erina, I suddenly want to see the Tyrannosaurus corpse!"
"That's so like you."
"Erina, I suddenly want to see the video of Yuki fighting the Tyrannosaurus!"
"That's so like you."
...
Since Enoshima Junko solved her problem of developing a rash when impersonating a real person, Shirogane Tsumugi has been working as a spy.
She was Enoshima Junko's source of information even before the destruction of the experimental facility and before they defected.
And from that time until now, this was the first time she had encountered such an easy character to impersonate as Nakiri Alice!
After this set of maneuvers, she almost wanted to meet the real Nakiri Alice!
Because no matter what she impulsively decided to say she wanted to do, Erina would just smile and say-That's so like you-without even asking for the reason! It was as if Nakiri Alice having a sudden whim was the most normal thing in the world!
This identity is too easy to use, isn't it?!
Shirogane Tsumugi has never had such a relaxed mission!
-Being a spy is too easy!
Playing a character where people don't guard against you or doubt you-how could you possibly get caught?!
"Here, Alice."
Just as Shirogane Tsumugi was thinking this, Erina walked over smiling and handed her a slice of cake.
"Running around as soon as you get back, you really are the same as ever-have a little something. I'm waiting for Jaden for dinner, so it might be a bit late."
"Okay~!"
Shirogane Tsumugi replied, imitating Alice, then picked up a fork and began to eat the cake.
Mmm-!
Initially, Shirogane Tsumugi's smile, actions, and tone were all meticulously crafted by her as the Ultimate Cosplayer.
But with one bite of cake, it was so delicious that she nearly let out her true voice!
A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
Delicious! This is too delicious!
Shirogane Tsumugi had been a spy, so she had traveled extensively and eaten food in many places, but those delicacies became a thing of the past after she took this bite of cake!
Compared to the cake in front of her, those things seemed too dull!
Is this Totsuki?!
Is this the cooking of the God's Tongue?
Too powerful!
After one bite of cake, Shirogane Tsumugi looked at Erina, who was sitting beside her, watching her with a gentle smile. She bit her fork, her expression somewhat complicated.
To be honest, after one bite of cake, she suddenly had a very serious idea of switching sides...
After all, the boss here is gentle, the food is delicious, and the work is easy...
But she also knew that these things belonged to Nakiri Alice, not to her.
Sigh.
-If these things belonged to her, she would switch sides!
To hell with despair's accomplices, I'm not despairing anymore!
Shirogane Tsumugi was shaken!
She tried hard not to show this hesitation on her face, but Erina was very observant.
She stared at the 'Alice' in front of her for a moment and blinked.
"Is something wrong?"
"No... I just feel like Erina, you've changed a lot."
Shirogane Tsumugi bit her fork and said this, still pretending to be Alice.
When Erina heard Alice say that, she smiled again.
This time, her smile was gentler and more mature.
"People change... I believe that even you, Alice, will understand when you truly grow up~"
"Hmph, speaking as if you're so much older!"
Erina shook her head helplessly, looking at Alice, who acted like a child.
"I'm not talking about an increase in age... Never mind, you'll understand eventually."
"Hmph~!"
Shirogane Tsumugi pouted and turned her head away, imitating Alice.
However, she timed it well, not maintaining the sulky state for long, and then continued to eat the cake!
She cherished the cake in front of her.
Because her big boss, Enoshima Junko, had ordered her to collect all the information, and Shirogane Tsumugi was actually planning to go back now.
Well, after finishing this cake...
No, after finishing dinner...
Hmm... Nakiri Erina just said dinner would be a bit late. It would be too late to leave then, so maybe she should leave after breakfast tomorrow.
Well, if she overslept, she'd leave after lunch!
Shirogane Tsumugi's bottom line dropped lower and lower.
Just as she was planning to enjoy the cake in front of her with these thoughts, a familiar voice sounded from behind her, causing her to freeze with the fork in her mouth and instinctively widen her eyes.
Because-the owner of the voice was Ikusaba Mukuro!
Ikusaba Mukuro felt she should be more firm and increase her credibility to cause chaos.
So, after she and Kure Fuki arrived, she walked right out, pointed at Nakiri Alice with righteous indignation, and spoke with absolute certainty:
"Yes, she is the spy!"
Shirogane Tsumugi, impersonating Nakiri Alice, trembled and slowly turned her head to look at the very serious Ikusaba Mukuro. If eyes could transmit information, she would definitely be filling Ikusaba Mukuro's mind with question marks right now!
After all, although their nominal leader was Izuru Kamukura, they knew very well that the true leaders of these talented individuals or despair's accomplices were Enoshima Junko and Ikusaba Mukuro, the Ultimate Despair sisters!
If Enoshima Junko was the big boss, then Ikusaba Mukuro was the second boss!
So the situation now was...
The big boss told me to be a spy, and the second boss sold me out. Are these the Ultimate Despair sisters?
-This is truly despair-inducing!
For a moment, Shirogane Tsumugi didn't even have the thought to defend herself or conceal anything!
When you've been sold out by your own boss, what's the point of acting anymore?!
The show is over!
She, Shirogane Tsumugi, was feeling a bit of despair!
