Some time pa.s.sed, before Marco said.Marco: So… Do you have anything to say yourself?
Alice: Well… There is a certain fact… What would you do if I told you… That I am the root of the reason that your father is dead?
Marco: Nothing.
Alice: Huh?
Marco: I will not do anything, I already know it. First of all, I understand that something big must have happened for you to do that…
Alice: Yeah… He and 3 others… They killed my mother…
Marco: See? This is a reason big enough to make him half blind, even though I didn"t like the fact that he is dead… First of all, you didn"t killed him, second, we didn"t even met each other, I was probably 1 or 2 years old then…
Alice: Yes… But I still killed 2 of them… My mother wanted to achieve coexistence like you, just through her own method, and I ruined everything… That"s why… I"ll atone. For destroying my mother"s wish.
Marco: *Sigh* Stop saying such bulls.h.i.t, and then you call me Edgy McEdgelord… You are just inheriting her will, like the crown with royalty.
Look at me, I am doing everything that is possible even outside human"s understanding just to follow my mother"s wish, if you really care for her, just follow your mother"s will.
Alice: My… My mother"s will…
Marco: So... Why are you traveling the world? I don"t think that you crashing near Illias Village was a case.
Alice: I wanted to believe in my mother"s dream, but I didn"t think it was possible. The fighting between humans and monsters was getting heated, and the slightest spark seemed like it could set everything off, like you said before, even the smallest mistake can doom everyone of us…
Even if I was just an individual monster… I was still the Monster Lord. If humans ever attacked us, I would have to confront them. It won"t just stay as small fights and tiny confrontations forever…
Before it came to all-out war, I thought I should see the world first.
Marco: And what did you think of us humans?
Alice: To be honest… It is like you said at Port Natalia. Humans are dirty creatures that should be oppressed… They"re evil, so they have to be destroyed… I was looking for a reason to believe that… And I was right… Only a bit right… Then there is you.
You are the biggest a.s.shole I ever know, you would not hesitate to kill, you would not hesitate to bring people to their ruin, you would not give a f.u.c.k about anything around you.
You are greedy like a succubus, you are sometimes full of rage like a devil, you are prideful like a Queen cla.s.s monster, you are slothful like a n.o.ble, you are tyrannical like a dragon…
Marco: Jeez, thank you very much… Dumb b.i.t.c.h…
Alice: ...I was talking about that… Well, even though you have those many awful qualities… I feel like those fit you really much, even if there is a Marco that behaves like a saint, I would have chosen you instead of him…
You are doing the impossible through the most deranged methods I ever seen, you have shown me, the exact opposite of you, the entire world with a smile on your face, I would never thought I would go to the Kitsune Village again, and I got there…
I never thought I would go to an haunted mansion, and even if I was outside, I was still there… But now, you"re going to the Monster Lord"s castle. Do you realize just how dangerous it really is?
Marco: f.u.c.k yes, I know it… At least I lost the 30 seconds cooldown…
Alice: Then… Can you make me a favor?
Marco: Depends.
Alice: Then… Can you let me believe in you? Like everyone else does…
Marco: What do you mean?
Alice: Everyone we met believed in you when you said you were going to achieve coexistence, and I know you will be able… But… I want to feel like the others, believe that you will achieve it…
Marco: Well, I told you when we first met, right?
Alice: ...You woke me up with a slap…
Marco: I ain"t going to wake you up with a kiss like in a fairy tale, that"s for sure.
Alice blushed a bit, but she tried to hide it.
Marco: I told you… "Whatever I say, I will accomplish it… This is the phrase that represent me the most, if I say I will visit every places, I mean even the dangerous ones like the Monster Lord"s castle or Remina, if I say I will punch the Four Heavenly Knights in the face, I will do it.
The same thing will be with coexistence, one day I will accomplish it, not now, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, but one day… I will do it." This is what I said.
Alice smiled and turned around, looking at Gold Port.
Alice: I remember it… I didn"t believed you at first… But now I feel like an idiot believing my first thought… Well, everything is done now, any other thing to talk about?
Marco: Nah… Let"s go, soon it will be evening.
Alice nodded and followed him back to the Headquarter of Ilias Kreuz, which was empty, except for the kid Adam"s corpse in the ground.
Marco put the orbs near the giant egg, and each one of them started shining.
Alice: Next is the hatching ritual. Two need to do the incantation… AH!
She stiffened when she remembered the second sentence.
Marco: Oh G.o.d…
Alice: The ceremony requires magical power from two monsters…
Marco: Could I-
Alice: No… We need Dark Energy, the same one of a monster…
Marco: You d.a.m.n pig… I"ve been fattening you the entire time and when I need you the most you have some problems…
Alice: f.u.c.k you, Marco!
As Marco waited with a calm face for the person he never thought to wait for…
?: This seems to be a job for…
A strange garbage can crashed down the stairs, the lid opened and revealed a pair of yellow glowing eyes.
Marco: "Why do you keep coming out of the f.u.c.king woodworks" ….Heeeey, Amira, the Unfortunate Lamia, heeeeeyyyy… Hehe, it hasn"t been long enough! You can leave anytime you want… How did you even know we were here?
He took a sarcastic tone before, then he questioned, Amira didn"t registered his first sentence and just answered.
Amira: First, I met this little orphan boy…
Marco: Then when you meet him again tell him to choke on a s.c.r.o.t.e.
Alice raised an eyebrow at the sudden brutality of Marco"s words, and was surprised when Amira ignored the insults and started talking.
Amira: I heard you wanted another monster, I am one, so I can a.s.sist you in the ritual.
Marco: …*Sigh* Alice, can she do it?
Alice: She should be able to do it… But are you sure, Amira? It consumes an awful lot of energy.
Amira: I"ll do anything for my darling! ...But first, get me out of here.
Marco: Alice… Do we really need to hatch the egg? Can"t you just take me there?
Alice: Noooope…
