Chapter 107EP.107 The Answer We Had Been
“Well… I can’t think of any other questions right now… Ah.”
As Parang pondered, a question suddenly occurred to her.
“Did the Kraken exist before the regression began?”
‘Why is her intuition so sharp?’
Alice was internally alarmed. At this rate, Parang might discover things that couldn’t be undone. Fortunately, she had barely dodged the bullet this time.
Alice told Parang the truth.
“No. The Kraken has existed since March 19, 2018. At least, that’s when the memories I’ve seen begin.”
“I see…”
After thinking for a moment, Parang seemed to reach her own conclusion and said to Alice.
“I think we’ve talked enough about the regression. Besides, I don’t think that was your main reason for wanting to meet with me.”
Alice internally breathed a sigh of relief. That had been a close call.
Besides, as Parang said, the world’s regression weren’t the main topic of today’s conversation.
“Right. We should get to the main point.”
Parang listened attentively to Alice’s words.
Alice was taking a risk to meet her while hiding from that eyeball monster.
That meant whatever message she wanted to convey was both urgent and important.
And here they’d spent all this time chatting about regression.
‘I feel a bit guilty.’
But well, it had been information Parang needed to hear, and Alice hadn’t shown any particular signs of urgency.
This level of delay seemed acceptable to her.
“Ah, before we get to the main point… there’s one last thing we need to address.”
“Hm? What is it?”
Parang tilted her head at Alice’s words.
“It’s important. It’s also the reason I asked to meet you alone today.”
“Ah… okay. Go ahead.”
Come to think of it, Alice had insisted on meeting only with Parang, excluding other Oceanos members.
Things like the world’s regression, the truth about Hive, Object, and Capulus’s secrets were shocking, but they were facts that other Oceanos members could know about.
There had to be a different reason why Alice wanted to speak with Parang alone.
She looked at Parang with the most serious expression Parang had ever seen on her face.
“Parang.”
Looking at Alice’s eyes, Parang felt an inexplicable chill run down her spine.
Whenever she got this feeling, something unimaginable always followed.
Today would prove no different.
“To you, am I a ‘person,’ or am I a ‘character’?”
“…Huh?”
Parang froze stiff, staring at Alice with a dumbfounded expression.
“You heard me correctly. To you, am I a real person, or a character in a novel?”
