----------------------------------------------------------
Slaying Verethragna and Melqart.
Granting Erica power and sending her to subdue her origin organization, the Red Copper Black Cross.
All of that happened yesterday.
When Hiro extended his consciousness across more than ten thousand kilometers to pacify the Red Copper Black Cross, the sun in Italy hadn't even set yet.
Of course, because of the more than seven-hour time difference, by the time Hiro and the other three boarded the plane in India, it was already deep into the night.
But just after boarding, Hiro raised an eyebrow.
The cabin was empty.
The process of boarding had been slightly rough, but he, Grayfia, and Amaterasu had purchased tickets through normal channels.
They hadn't chartered the plane.
Which meant-
This scene was clearly abnormal.
The one responsible didn't bother hiding at all.
She sat in the most conspicuous seat at the front, smiling brightly and waving at Hiro.
"O King, please forgive the inconvenience."
"I can only meet you in this form."
A woman in her early twenties.
Brilliant blonde hair.
Delicate Western features.
A calm, steady tone.
A faint, perfume-like presence.
An elegant white coat paired with black boots, with a short knit dress and leggings beneath.
There was nothing strange about her appearance.
Yet in Hiro's perception, that seat held no living presence at all.
Only something resembling a soul avatar.
Of course, a soul avatar was incomparable to a fully materialized soul under the Third Magic.
At best, it was a very convenient toy.
Grayfia and Amaterasu sat off to the side.
Hiro, without ceremony, took the seat beside the woman.
Letting a Campione and a Heretic God sit together.
Her nerves were impressive.
After running through his memories, Hiro quickly confirmed her identity.
"Princess Alice."
Daughter of Duke Godding.
Commonly known as "Princess Alice."
Former chairperson of the Greenwich Council of Sages, now serving as a special advisor.
Also known as the "White Priestess Princess."
Due to her frail constitution, her real body could only remain bedridden.
She traveled the world in spirit form instead.
The more she used this ability, the weaker her physical body became, forming a vicious positive feedback loop.
In short-
A mobility-impaired, sickly beauty had come to see him in soul form.
"Yes."
"Princess Alice is what the outside world calls me."
"But for you, King, you may simply call me Alice."
Alice smiled lightly, her tone lively.
Completely at odds with the frailty of her real body.
Perhaps precisely because her body was so weak, her spirit appeared all the more youthful.
"Then, Alice."
"What is your purpose in coming to see me specifically?"
"Surely you didn't come just to chat."
"Well, chatting aside..."
"There is indeed something I would like to ask of you, if possible."
A trace of helplessness appeared on Alice's face, as if recalling something unpleasant.
"Since you know who I am, you should understand my physical condition."
"Aside from traveling in this form, there isn't much else I can do."
"Even when I was still part of the Council of Sages, I met others in spirit form."
"My real body-"
I know.
According to the original timeline, this would eventually be resolved by Godou Kusunagi when he reached the Mahayana stage and was on the verge of 'ascending.'
Looking at Alice's slightly sorrowful profile, Hiro nodded.
"I understand."
"Yesterday, while traveling in spirit form, I happened to witness your godslayingå§æę."
"So today, through information from Miss Erica, I learned of your itinerary and located you in this country."
"Erica, huh."
Hearing this extremely reasonable explanation-which also conveniently sold out a teammate-Hiro narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed.
"She only became my knight yesterday."
"And today she's already leaking my information."
"This matter-"
"Miss Erica and I are old acquaintances."
"This disclosure was due to my personal reasons."
"If you are displeased, King, please direct your anger at Alice."
"Do not punish Miss Erica."
A trace of anxiety flashed across Alice's face as she hurried to explain.
Emotionally stirred, her spirit-form body leaned slightly closer to Hiro, nearly pressing against him.
"Don't worry."
"I have no interest in destroying my toys or subordinates."
"At most, I'll just let her suffer for a few days."
Meeting Alice's golden eyes, Hiro released a trace of Conqueror's Haki through his gaze, cutting off the topic entirely.
Feels like I've said this before.
"Yes."
Alice... sorry.
This is as much as I can help you here.
Her spirit flickered faintly, becoming slightly more transparent.
She didn't dare continue.
So Conqueror's Haki also counts as a mental or soul-type attack?
Noticing this, Hiro raised an eyebrow inwardly.
Boom. Boom.
"Back to the main point."
"You want me to help you get rid of this frail body, correct?"
Amid the roar of the jet engines, Hiro looked at Alice and spoke calmly.
"Yes."
"If you possess such an authority, King, please lend your aid."
"My father, Duke Godding, and the entire Council of Sages are willing to offer you eternal loyalty."
Hearing this, Hiro's first reaction wasn't delight.
It was confusion.
"You representing your father is one thing."
"But can you represent the entire Council of Sages?"
"You're currently just a special advisor."
"Not even the chairperson."
"King, you need not worry about that."
"Since Alice dares to say this, I already possess one hundred percent confidence."
"I would never deceive you with something beyond my ability."
...Seems like there's something I don't know again.
Looking down at Alice's hopeful gaze, Hiro considered for a moment.
Then he nodded slightly.
"Have your real body come to see me."
"I can try."
If it were something like Togame's three hundred million illness demons, he might hesitate due to uncertainty.
But a mere frail constitution?
How could that compare?
Soul materialization would be enough.
A delighted expression slowly bloomed across Alice's pale face.
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise and joy.
"Yes!"
Seeing his firm nod, Alice's spirit form gradually faded, her smile bright and sincere.
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
"I will go to the Far East with Miss Erica."
"When that time comes, please take care of my body."
