Alesse'S Connect: The Alchemist

The gloomy world

"Ofless? Alesse!" alice shouted in panic. After her red eyes turned blue, Alesse began to look at the crying girl. "Whispering, know! Turn down that loud voice!" alesse was upset.

"Aless! Thank goodness you're okay!" alice then hugged him tightly. Alesse felt something odd as Alice hugged him.

"But! Whatisthis? Why does it look soft and supple?" alesse said astonishment. Alice immediately moved away from Alesse with a reddened face. "A.... What the hell were you just doing? You pervert!" alice said with her shy face.

"Aren't you the one who hugged me? I have no intention whatsoever" said Alesse. He tried to check his own chest. "I suspected! I guessed! You are a flirtatious man! Have I been living with a perverted man who lives in a girl's body?" Alice was completely devastated.

"It's rude! Who do you call perverted? I just wonder why the growth of the two of us is getting different! It'll be troublesome because we share an identity!" Alesse.

"Who? Alessie! Your memory has returned?" alice asked in surprise. "of course. I'm sorry if for a while my attitude has been weird and rude" Alesse said, sitting on the couch relaxed.

Seeing the way Alesse sat back as usual, Alice's face became even more pale. "What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?" ask Alesse.

"So it's been true all this time that I've been living with perverted om-oms! Can't be trusted!" alice said while keeping her distance from Alesse.

"Oi! Alice! Whatchu mean? No kidding! I'm not a pervert! Sorry, don't take heart! Honestly, I'm not interested in a girl like you" Alesse said.

However the words still offended Alice, she turned around to hide her shy face.

"A... The alice? You all right? Don't tell me you took those words seriously?" ask Alesse. Alice did not reply, she immediately ran towards her room.

"Basic freak! He was as good as calling me and talking about me. I only spoke a little but he was already offended? I really don't understand!" alesse then began to walk out of the inn. He wanted to let Alice improve her mood while she was not in the inn.

While observing the various technologies and civilizations that existed in that place, Alesse felt something strange.

"What's this about? My whole body feels so cold! It really gives me goosebumps!" he then turned his head to the side and found the face of the man pale in flat color.

At that instant Alesse was also aghast. "Damn! Why do I have to meet this crazy guy again?" thought Alesse inwardly, he was really agitated.

"Hmm? Your response is different from the first, as if you were a different person," Gonzales concluded. "Wine! Did he realize something?" thought Alesse inwardly, he looked sweaty.

"So? Who am I talking to? The alice? Or Alesse?" ask Gonzales. "Eh? A... What does grandpa mean?" ask Alesse. "Hm! Or maybe you didn't realize there was someone else in you?" ask Gonzales.

"Don't mind him, grandpa! The kid is sometimes very crazy" Selena said. "really? Then.... Grandpa call Alice, you mind?" ask Gonzales. "That's my name, cake!" alesse said with a friendly smile.

"Alright, your smile is quite comforting as well even though grandfather prefers your flat expression" Gonzales said.

Alesse continued to pay attention to the pale-looking man's skin color. After he compared it to the people around him, it was not much different. Their faces looked like people who were always exhausted after work.

"People here look really gloomy, yeah!" a voice suddenly appeared on Alesse's head. Alesse tried to look back and forth to find out who was talking to him.

"Stupid! Why look for me? I'm always in your head, no need to search!" say that voice. "Oh? Equal Alesse?" ask Alesse to make sure.

"Hm! I've never tried it. It seems like a good idea" Equal said, he tried to show himself the way Alesse wanted.

"You sure about this? If I keep showing myself like this, you might spontaneously talk to me with your mouth. People will think you're weird for talking to yourself" Equal said.

"Truely, it seems like enough to talk telepathically alone," said Alesse. Finally, the visual appearance of Equal vanished from Alesse's view.

"Why are you talking to me now?" ask Alesse. "It takes time to adapt in the middle of nowhere. I also just found out that we can connect with each other. I think I'm just a parasite that lives as someone's multiple personality, it turns out that our relationship is more than just that" Equal said.

"Alright, so.... You also think the people here look very gloomy?" ask Alesse. "So, their faces were very pale. Ever since I realized I was in this world, I thought people lived without color. Their atmosphere is very bland. Is there no entertainment here? Like a game or a television show?" ask Equal.

"What do you think this is? Uh, wait a minute......" Alesse tried to think for a moment and then looked at the surrounding streets.

"There is something missing in this world!" alesse said, he looked surprised. "What's wrong? You realize something?" ask Equal.

"It's just fitting that the way people talk here doesn't suit the times they live in!" Alesse. "How to talk? What does this have to do with their lives?" ask Equal.

"Of course it has something to do with it! People of this age should use words to describe his mood! Damn right! It should be in this age of many poets or street performers. Looks like musical instruments alone are not in this place!" Alesse.

"Well, it's great that you can realize it!" equal. "You are as dark as anything, as desperate as anything, as grim as anything, as angry as anything, there should be one thing that can overcome all those negative feelings, it is usually easier if the object can be captured by hearing. There is no musical instrument in the world! Therefore my days here feel so bland!" Alesse.

"At this imperial age there should have been a piano or at least a trumpet used for the opening of the war, unfortunately there is no such thing here" Equal said.

"I don't know for sure because I haven't checked on the eastern continent yet" Alesse said. "I didn't think they'd make it this far! They are demonic humans" Equal said.

"Even now they don't survive easily! Damned conditions in this world are very common, even a commonplace among children. Even in the countryside, many men die because they have to face the Cursed Conditions of their children" said Alesse.

"Didn't he? Seriously? Having a child is definitely something risky! Like a bee that takes out its sting, at that time its life will not last much longer" Equal said.

"The comparison is not that short as well, most who experience the condition of the Cursed are men, as long as the child born is female, the man will be fine," said Alesse.

"It's weird that most people here don't really appreciate women" Equal said. "That only applies to nobles! They do have their own way to deal with children with cursed conditions," said Alesse.

"Is that so? From the start, looking down on those women was an unreasonable thing! They don't understand the importance of women in this world" Equal said.

"You look very defensive of women once," said Alesse. "Yeah, because of a woman, I learned one thing about survival: ingenuity and cunning. I could tell how valuable that trait was after being betrayed by a girl in a previous life" Equal said.

"Is that girl you're talking about Alice?" ask Alesse. "Yeah, his name and face are exactly the same as I remember" Equal said.

"But shouldn't it have been thousands of years ago? Alice was born just after. Look at this Nova earth, the modern civilization that we felt was destroyed to the ground" said Alesse.

"There is only one thing that can answer this problem. Time travel," Equal said briefly. Alesse only fell silent as Equal spoke so confidently, as if his opinion was not wrong
