Chapter 389 Alicia is dead
Mei Raiden asked in confusion, "It's locked? You didn't lock it yourself?"
Fairy Ellie: "There is nothing dangerous in the Eternal Paradise, so there is nothing I need to be on guard against."
Mei Raiden: "I don't know about dangerous things, but there are thieves. The cat that sleeps with you may be the accomplice."
[Padofils (Paradise)] "Ahahaha... Mei-sister, what are you saying..."
[Eden (Paradise)] "I can already imagine what that kitten looks like."
[Vilvi (Paradise)] "Mei is just short of naming a certain hero."
Fairy Ellie continued to explain, "Anyway, I tried every kind of lock-picking magic, but in the end I couldn't pry...open the door, so I had to spend the night in the garden."
When Mei Raiden heard Fairy Airi use what could be called [Physical] magic, she couldn't help but complain, "I always feel that your magic always sounds a bit unsettling... So, you still couldn't get into the archives room in the end?"
When Fairy Ellie thought of this, she showed a little sadness and confusion on her face. "Yes, this is the first time I encounter such a situation."
Mei Raiden: "Strange...Apart from that typewriter, is there anything else important in the archives?"
Fairy Ellie pointed to her face and said, "Of course there is! There is also a cute, charming, and flawless fairy manager!"
Raiden Mei is a little speechless...
Fairy Ellie: "Okay, that's all. Ah, is there anyone targeting me who is unique?! That won't do. Fairy Ellie won't allow such [atrocities] to exist!"
"Even if I have to use magic to break down the door, I have to stop the other party from doing the wrong thing!"
Mei Raiden complained, "Your behavior is closer to violence..."
Fairy Ellie: "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! My lovely human, I'm leaving first!"
Mei Raiden (Should I remind her that she is a mass-produced doll, not one-of-a-kind?... Forget it.)
(But... the unattended archive room and the typewriter that only conveys the "truth")
(Don’t think about these things)
Mei Raiden continued to wait for Alicia to appear...
[Theresa] "I strongly suspect that it is not someone who wants to commit violence against the fairy Ellie, but that she is using violence against someone."
[Xilin] "Besides our fairy Ellie, the fairy Ellie in the paradise is not the only one."
[Ailishia (Elysian Land)] "There are thirteen in total. I originally planned to give them to all the heroes, but in the end only Eden and Aponia accepted them."
"If you want, I still have a lot in stock~"
[Aponia (Paradise)] "But Ai Li didn't keep her promise to meet Mei-san at the time."
[Eden] "It's really strange. Ellie is not the kind of person who breaks her promise, especially since she's a cute girl."
[Captain] "In other words, Alicia was killed without anyone noticing?"
[Padofils (Elysian Paradise)] "Maybe Sister Ellie hasn't been killed yet, and it's just a simple prank or something like that? After all, I feel like there are almost no people in this world who can pose a threat to Sister Ellie."
[Alicea (Elysian Land)] "Little Padu, I won't joke about this kind of thing. I would feel guilty if I made a lovely girl sad."
[Himeko] "That's really strange, could it be that Le Tu has seen a ghost?"
In the picture, Mei Raiden, who had been waiting for a long time, still hadn't waited for Alicia to arrive.
(Aliceia... you're so slow...)
After waiting for a while, Mei Raiden finally felt something was wrong. "Something is wrong... Alicia is definitely not someone who would break an appointment. But no matter what, she is too late..."
"Maybe I remembered the agreed location wrongly? Let's go somewhere else."
Then Mei Raiden searched around the park for traces of Alicia.
After searching for a long time in the square, I couldn't find Alicia, but I met the heroes who were having a meeting on the street.
Mei Raiden's nervous mood relaxed a little. "Finally I see other Yingjies... Su is here too, that's great, let's ask him to [foresee] something."
"That's impossible." Kevin (Le Tu) shook his head and was the first to express his opinion.
Su (Le Tu) "I also think it's impossible, so... I checked it again and again."
Aponia (Elysian Land) guessed, "Perhaps, there is a blind spot in our vision."
Mebius (Elysium) spread his hands and interrupted them. "Is it so hard to understand? Do you still think that she is hiding somewhere, looking at our expressions and laughing? She has never made such a joke before."
Aponia (Elysian Land) "Oh... I didn't expect to hear you say that much about her. It seems like Mebius was also quite shocked."
Mebius (Elysium) "..."
Mebius would never respond to criticism with "silence". But at this moment, she bowed her head and said nothing, contrary to her usual behavior.
It could also be because before she could open her mouth to retort, another person joined the conversation.
"Um...excuse me." Raiden Mei appeared among the heroes.
Mebius (Elysium) "Hey, who's here?"
Aponia (Elysian Land) "Hello Mei, what's up?"
Mei Raiden asked directly, "Has anyone of you seen Alicia?"
The speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it seriously.
This happened in an instant - it was as if there was an invisible wall separating Mei from the four people. On the other side of the wall, silence began to creep in.
Until the man who never said a word broke it.
Kevin (Elysian Land) "…what do you want with her?"
Mei Raiden: "It's not [anything]. She made an appointment to meet me, but she never showed up, so I was looking for her."
"If you don't know, you can just tell me."
Sue (Elysian Land) "I'm sorry, visitor. Alicia...seems to be in some trouble. She is temporarily..."
After a brief pause, Raiden Mei got three words.
"Gone."
"Gone?" Mei Raiden widened her eyes, her tone full of disbelief. At this moment, she finally realized that Alicia was definitely not simply "gone", otherwise the heroes would not have gathered here.
But Mei Raiden still had a chance to ask, "What does [missing] mean? Did she hide, or..."
Mobius (Elysium) "Ah...it seems this little guinea pig is still in the dark. Su's words are always hard to understand, so let me translate for you--"
"The woman you're looking for...she's dead."
