I feel a faint warmth in the morning breeze and know that spring is coming soon.

It's Sunday, the day off from the weekly Takumi class.

'Koneko neko neko neko neko neko.

I was outside the cave, kneading dough incessantly.

Ever since the mysterious white one appeared, my mood had been sinking.

'When you're gone, Alice will destroy this world,'

I couldn't get the white one's words out of my head.

That's just a bunch of crap.

I told myself that and kneaded the dough again.

'Kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten.'

I hadn't cooked properly for a while because I was busy with my Takumi class.

Today, I had decided to put it all behind me and cook my best dish.

There was no such thing as a white one. That was just a hallucination. Yeah, let's just put it that way.

As I forced myself to convince myself, the dough came together just right.

As it was, I covered the pan with a lid and let it rise for about thirty minutes.

I also checked the temperature of the cauldron, which had been cooking in advance, by holding up my hand.

Yes, it was pretty good. It will be over two hundred degrees Celsius by the time it's ready.

Prepare the potatoes, aged rabi meat, tomatoes and cheese.

In order to get it on nicely, we have to slice the potatoes and rabi meat thinly first.

Leia holds the peeled potato in her hand.

There was a little bit of skin left on the potato, but this much should be fine as is.

Leia, who was not good at that much detail, has now improved so much and can peel beautifully (nicely).

People can change.

Alice has also changed a lot since we met.

Even if I am gone, she won't destroy the world.

Spacious, spontaneous, spontaneous.

I placed the sleeping dough on a cutting board and used a stick to flatten it out into a round shape like a full moon.

Then he put the tomato sauce and cheese on it, tearing it off, and alternating sliced potatoes and rabi meat.

'Here we go. Let's put some mushrooms and asparagus on the second one.

When the temperature is sufficiently high, the dough with the ingredients is put into the stone oven.

In a few minutes, the delicious pizza should be ready.

I was about to prepare the second piece of pizza with a good feeling.

'Takumi.'

Huh?

I turn around in surprise when my name is suddenly called.

Alice is standing right behind me, staring at me.

A. Alice. How long have you been here?

That's when I heard Takumi say "catnip".

Oh, right. You were there all along.

After the fight with Rick was over, Alice began to come here for class and dinner.

But it was always so sudden, and it was so heartbreaking that I found myself behind her.

'Dinner's almost ready. Wait for me with the others.

No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm watching.

Alice is always by my side and only by my side.

She seldom speaks to her supposed apprentice Leia, either.

"Without you, Alice will destroy this world.

Again, the words of the White One come to mind.

'How's Alice doing these days? You're not with the Goblin King or the Ancient Dragon (Ancient Dragon)?

The Goblin King went to see Rick. I don't know of any Ancient Dragons.

You're okay, Alice. You're just lonely.

What's going on here? You don't look like you talked to Leia. You're my apprentice, so why don't you tell him more?

'From the Battle of the Prairie, Leia is no longer my apprentice. She's my lifelong nemesis (rival).

We don't know what happened between them at the Battle of the Prairie.

But the fact that they became nemesis (rivals) rather than master and student, it must have been a pretty big deal.

'To be Alice's nemesis (rival), Leia must have grown quite strong.

Yeah. It was more than I expected. It was a mistake to let him go to Takumi.

'No, I didn't do anything. Leia just got stronger on her own.

'I know. Leia's feelings grew stronger on their own. If Takumi had done anything with this, Watashi wouldn't have been able to forgive them.

Hmm? Somehow the conversation doesn't seem to be engaging, but I wonder if it's my imagination.

'Well, anyway, I'm telling you that Alice should get to know and talk to everyone but me. Butts and Nuruhachi will be here today, and we'll all be together like in the old days: ......

No.

The words that came from Alice were a complete rejection.

'All I need is Takumi, that's all I need. I don't need anyone else.'

'When you're gone, Alice will destroy this world. I don't think that's going to happen, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka, noka.'

I could hear its voice like an auditory hallucination.

I felt like the white one was laughing behind Alice, and I struggled to shake off the fantasy.

We made do with something simple in the morning and then had a pizza party at noon, with a large amount of pizza I had prepared in the morning.

At first, the six of us ate Sunday dinner together, Leia and Sasha, who live with us, Chloe and Nuruhachi, who frequent the house, and Alice and I.

But lately, the students had been sneaking in to mix it up, as if they'd heard a rumor from somewhere.

I'm not going to eat that potato. Trade it for this one.

No, no. No. I haven't eaten yet either. I won't give up.

This is what pizza is all about. You've mastered the cuisine of the West, Takumi!

This is so good! It's so different from the shitty food Dr. Deus always makes, yikes!

It's a mix of Sach and Miakis, Dr. Deus and Ex, plus lots of students whose names I don't even know.

The pizzas are quite popular and are quickly dwindling.

'Guys, I'm going to make you some more, so don't fight, just wait for me.

With that, I was about to head for the stone oven.

Not talking to anyone, I see Alice standing alone, away from the others, eating her pizza while standing.

'Alice, you can join everyone else ......'

I was about to say that, but I stopped breathing.

Right in front of where Alice was standing, that white one was standing there.

'Aris!

I yell Alice's name out loud.

Everyone looks at me and Alice.

'What? Takumi?

Alice turned around and looked normal.

And the figure of the white one that should have been standing in front of her had completely disappeared.

'Nah, it's nothing. I just called it in.

...... Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, thank you.

Alice blushes and squirms for some reason.

Was I wrong about that one?

I go over to where the white one was.

There was only a single piece of pizza that had fallen out of the oven.
