"Still nothing?" In the evening, Naia looked at Sei Itō, who had transformed into a ferret, and asked.
"Nope. It seems like the sea is the most likely place," Sei Itō said as he jumped onto Naia's shoulder.
"The sea … Then what should we do?" Naia asked, not knowing what to do.
"There is a way, but with just the two of us, it's still a little difficult. Let's wait for my main body to come back first," Sei Itō said after a moment of silence.
"Huh?" Naia subconsciously let out a low cry.
"Let's take this opportunity to show our faces at school and at home. After all, it's not a good idea to not show our faces," Sei Itō said.
"Alright then." Naia thought for a moment and nodded.
After that, Naia led Sei Itō to search around the city before returning to the hotel Sei Itō rented by Sei Itō to rest. The next morning, they took the Shinkansen to Haiming City.
"Why hasn't Alicia woken up yet?" Prisia Testerosa asked as she looked at Sei Itō, who was leisurely flipping through the books he took from the Space-Time Courtyard.
"It takes time for the spirit to reintegrate with the body. Otherwise, there will be a phenomenon of the mind not controlling the body, or the body not following the mind. It has only been two days. What's the hurry?" Ito Sei gently turned a page and replied in a low voice.
"Then how many days will this situation take!?" Prisia Testrosa suppressed the frustration in her heart as she pressed for an answer.
"It depends on the individual's situation. If it's fast, it'll take a day. If it's slow, it won't take more than seven days. Based on Alicia's situation, she'll wake up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Sei Itō said as he glanced at Alicia, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"I hope you're telling the truth," Prisia Testrosa snorted and replied. Then, he ignored Sei Itō and knelt beside the bed. He reached out and held Alicia's small hands. He looked at her gently and softly called out, "Alicia …"
"Pa!" Seeing this, Ito Sei closed the book and stood up. He turned around and left Alicia's room as if this was his own home.
"Fitt?"
Just as Sei Itō was about to leave the room, a hesitant and conflicted Fei entered his sight.
"Ito-san." Fitt greeted him softly.
"You want to see Alicia?" Sei Itō asked softly.
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you go in?" Sei Itō asked again.
"Scared? Praxia? "After a pause, Ito Sei asked.
"… Yes." After a few seconds of silence, Fitt lowered her head slightly and replied softly.
"Let's go. I'll take you in." Ito Sei sighed slightly when he saw this. He leaned over and grabbed Fitt's little hand. Fitt blushed slightly because of the warmth from his hand. He then led her back to Alicia's room.
"My dear Alicia … Wake up quickly. Mommy misses you …" Prisia Testrosa, who was completely immersed in her own world, was still in the same position as when Sei Itō left.
Seeing the expression on Prisia Testrosa's face, Fitt, who had been led into the room by Sei Itō, stiffened. A gloomy feeling rose in her heart, and the change in her expression dimmed.
"Actually, this is good. You're Fitt after all, not Alicia …" Sei Itō, who sensed the change in Fitt, whispered in her mind.
"…" Fitt trembled slightly and lowered her head.
While they were whispering, the two had already reached Alicia's bedside and stopped in front of Prisia Testrosa.
"What are you doing here?" Prisia Testrosa's face was filled with disgust as she questioned Fet, who was standing by the bed.
Before Alicia's resurrection, Prisia Testrosa's attitude toward Fitt was hatred born from love. After Alicia's resurrection, Prisia Testrosa's attitude toward Fitt was utter disgust. It was as if Fitt was an eyesore, and every minute she spent with her would make Prisia Testrosa's heart burn with anger.
"Mommy, I want to see my sister." Fitt's body trembled slightly. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Ito Sei's hand and said in a low voice.
"Don't say that! You're not my daughter, and Alicia isn't your sister. You're just a puppet I made when I lost Alicia. A puppet that makes me feel disgusted! I don't need you anymore, and I don't want to see you again. Leave now! " Prisia Testrosa abruptly stood up from the ground and glared at Fayette fiercely as she spoke loudly.
Fitt's body trembled when he heard Prisia Testrosa's words. His eyes began to lose focus. He looked at Prisia Testrosa blankly and murmured, "Mommy …"
"Shut up!" Prisia Testrosa shouted to stop him.
"Prisia!" Sei Itō, who felt that he had gone too far, frowned and shouted in a low voice, reminding Prisia Testrosa to be careful.
"Hmph!" Prisia Testrosa was a little eccentric and hysterical, but she still respected Sei Itō. She snorted coldly and stopped talking. She bent down and gently stroked Alicia's cheek. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Alicia. I hope I didn't disturb you. Have a good rest. We'll be together again soon, my dear Alicia …"
Fitt looked at Prisia Testrosa's behavior. He felt like his strength had been sucked out of him. His eyes lost focus and he was about to fall to the ground.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ito Sei quickly stretched out his arms and hugged Fei's body to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Sei Itō couldn't do anything about Prisia Testrosa, who was in a psychotic state. He sighed and shook his head. He bent down and carried Fitt into his arms. He turned and walked out of the room.
A few minutes later, Ito Mori came to Fei's room with Fei in his arms.
"Fitt?!" Seeing Ito Seiji push open the door and walk in with Felicia in his arms, who seemed to have lost all consciousness, the humanoid Elfe cried out anxiously with a face full of shock. Then he quickly ran in front of Ito Sei, reached out and took Fitt from Ito Sei's arms, ran to the bedside, and gently put Fitt on the bed.
"Fitt," Elfe called out worriedly.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Fitt?!" Elfe glared at Sei Itō and questioned him loudly.
Sei Itō didn't want to waste time with Elfe. He shot a stream of psychic energy into Elfe's mind and used illusions and hypnotism to construct a scene in her mind. He projected everything that had happened in Alicia's room into Elfe's mind.
"That hateful woman!" Elfe gnashed her teeth and growled. However, she was worried about Fitt's condition, so she held back the thought of settling the score with Prisia Testrosha. She looked worriedly at Fitt on the bed, unsure of what to do.
Sei Itō didn't say anything. He walked to a chair and sat down. He took out the books he had taken from Prisia Testrosa's study and started reading.
"Whoosh, whoosh …" The clear sound of pages flipping echoed in the room.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Fitt's lifeless eyes finally regained some color. She turned her head to look at Elva, who was standing beside her with a worried expression.
"Fitt!" Elfe called out happily.
"Elfe," Fitt called out softly.
"Pa!" At this moment, a soft sound rang out. Both Fitt and Elfe turned their heads subconsciously.
"Mr. Itō," Fitt greeted Sei Itō softly as he walked slowly to her bedside.
"Do you remember what I told you before? You are Fitt, not Alicia. Although Prisia's words were harsh, you are you. You have Elfe, the Lightning Battle Axe, and now me …" Sei Itō smiled and continued, "In the future, there will be others, such as Naia …"
After Ito Sei finished speaking, Felicia subconsciously looked at the happy Elfe, the lightning axe on the table, and Ito Sei who was talking. Felicia's expression changed slightly when she heard Ito Sei's name.
"So make up your mind, face up to yourself. From now on, live as Feite," Ito Sei said softly at the end.
"…" Fitt didn't answer. She turned to Elfe again.
"I'll be leaving first. I'll look for you in two days," Itō said. He turned around and left Fitt's room. He returned to his own room and continued reading the book in his hand.
Not long after Sei Itō left, Fitt used Elfe's strength to sit up on the bed.
"Fitt," Elfe called out softly.
"I'm fine. Elfe, help me up." Fitt rubbed Elfe's head and said softly, "I've made up my mind. Mr. Itō is right. I should face myself …"
"Fitt." Hearing this, Elve was both happy and worried.
"You will always be by my side, right?" Faye asked Elva softly as she stood up from the bed.
"Yes, I will always be by your side, Fitt," Elfe replied firmly.
Fitt's heart was filled with warmth as she rubbed Elfe's head. Under Elfe's worried gaze, she walked out of the room and returned to Alicia's room along the familiar corridor.
Hearing the sound of the door, Prisia Testrosa turned to look at the door.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I make myself clear?" Prisia Testrosa frowned and said in a low voice.
"I'm here because I have something to tell you. I'm not Alicia Testrosa. Perhaps I'm just a puppet you made. But I, Fitt Testrosa, was created by you and raised by you. I'm your daughter!" Fitt, who was standing at the door, continued to speak in her usual soft voice. However, the tone of her voice was more resolute than ever.
"Ha, haha, hahahaha … So what?" Prisia Testrosa laughed as if she had heard a joke. Then, she stopped laughing and asked in a contemptuous tone.
"Do you still want me to treat you as my daughter?"
"If you wish …" Fitt replied softly.
"Impossible!" Prisia Testrosa answered without hesitation, "My only daughter is Alicia!"
"… Even so, I'll still protect you. It's not because I'm your daughter, but because you're my mother," Fitt said, shaking her head slightly.
Prisia Testrosa looked at Fitt quietly for a while and suddenly sneered. "How boring!"
As she spoke, she pointed her palm at Fitt. Then, a purple magical beam shot out from Prisia Testrosa's palm and hit the unprepared Fitt, sending her flying out of the room.
"Bang!" Alicia's door slammed shut.
"Cough …" Fitt, who had propped herself up with her arms, coughed in disappointment and spat out a small mouthful of blood.
"Fitt!" Elfe, who had been hiding in the corner of the corridor, quickly ran out of her hiding place and squatted beside Fitt. She reached out her hands to support Fitt's body and called out with concern.
"I'm fine. Mom didn't hit me too hard." Fitt shook her head. Then, he stood up with Elv's help and turned to look at the tightly shut door in front of him. After a moment, he brought Elv back to his room to rest.
Two days later …
"Mm …" A low moan came from Alicia's throat as she lay on the bed.
Although her voice was soft, it was like a clap of thunder to Prisia Testrosa, who had been guarding her bedside. It made Prisia Testrosa tremble all over.
"Alicia …" Prisia Testrosa reached out her hand and caressed Alicia's face as she called out softly.
Alicia's eyelids moved, and she slowly opened her eyes. After adapting to the light in the room, she turned her head and looked at Prisia Testrosa, who was beside the bed. "Mom?" she called out in confusion.
"Yes, it's me, Alicia," Prisia Testrosa replied in a trembling voice.
"Did I sleep too much again? Where is this? Mom, you look so strange. " Alicia's eyes turned slightly. She looked at the decorations of the room and asked in confusion.
Hearing the familiar cowardly words, Prisia Testrosa couldn't control her emotions any longer. She threw herself at Alicia and burst into tears, venting all the negative emotions that had accumulated since Alicia's death.
"Mom?" Alicia, who didn't know why Prisia Testrosa was acting like this, called out in confusion. rs！。
