Alice has these personality traits. Even if she lacks sufficient experience in dealing with emergencies, she is better able to ensure her safety than the average person. It's just that, as now, when it comes to empirical analysis of the environment, you can't expect much useful advice from Alice.

But this time, Alice was right.

"You're right, that's a good description, it's the difference in 'concentration'. ”

Levi snapped his fingers and leaned against the railing to look at the clear, but not bright, sky.

"In some people's habitual parlance, it is generally the 'doom' or something else in the city that is much heavier than the average place. As a result, it's easier to attract non-human, harmless things than other cities. ”

Lévy's words were very mysterious, but he was not afraid that Alice would not understand. They come from a place that is much more mysterious than this earth. Monsters, goblins, monsters, evil spirits, celestials, gods, and witches who are more godly than these are the dead witches. In terms of knowledge, Levi is 108,000 miles behind Alice, and it is not a level at all!

"It's not just about monsters, monsters, or monsters. There are also things like flowing 'energy', luck, and so on. In short, this is a city that is prone to 'accidents'. Even the people in this city are peaceful, and even those with special powers live like ordinary human beings. It is still inevitable that they will be involved in special events from time to time. For example, the monsters that come to the city inexplicably, the strange spread of diseases, or the crimes committed by ordinary people who just look ordinary will be more numerous than in other cities in the same situation, and the methods are often more cruel and bizarre. ”

Lévi tells Alice about a few 'strange cases' that he has heard of in this city. You can take any of those cases and just add a little branches and leaves, and you can create a rather frightening thriller novel with barely enough writing. And if those cases are made into movies, I am afraid that even if all the bloody crime scenes are omitted, they will still be classified by the agency responsible for film censorship and grading without hesitation. Because just the psychology of some of the people involved in those cases is enough to make people feel that they are perverts that should not be exposed to immature minors with three views.

That's not alarmist, it's true that the psychology and thinking of those people can make ordinary people feel so terrible just by hearing about it.

"Humans are capable of doing things that many youkai can't imagine. Very smart indeed. ”

Although she said this, Alice had no special expression on her face. It is not clear whether she is deliberately mocking this because she is disgusted with some evil nature of human beings, or if she is simply stating a fact that she knows. In fact, Alice is usually like this, although she is a girl who is sometimes very tsundere, but she is not as easy to see through her mind as other tsundere girls except for certain things. Whether it's disguise or just like that, there is always a faint expression on that beautiful face, which makes it difficult to figure out what she really thinks in her heart.

"Do you hate humans, or rather, don't like humans?"

Lévy was actually quite curious about this. Just listening to some of the things she usually says, you will feel that Alice has no good feelings for humans. But he also heard from Reisen that when Alice was in Gensokyo, she often went to human villages to perform puppet shows for children, and she would also go to human villages to join in the fun during special events such as festivals and festivals.

Even sometimes encountering people who are lost in the Enchanted Forest, Alice will secretly protect them until they are safely out of the forest. And if she encounters someone who has been injured by a monster or a little monster, Alice will also take them back to her home and help them treat their injuries until they are not in danger of life, and then send them to a safe place.

Judging from Alice's behavior, she must have liked humans, or at least didn't hate them, right? Maybe because she herself was an ordinary weak human before she became a magician?

At least that's what Alice herself should think, but Kaguya babbles out that Alice doesn't seem to be an ordinary human at all in the first place, but has a more complex identity.

"Nasty...... Dislike...... Shouldn't it count?"

Alice held her head and shook her head, as if she had been asked a question that she had never seriously considered.

"I didn't think about it before. ”

Sure enough, I never thought about it.

"But it's not a nuisance...... But you can't say you like it?"

Alice seemed to be really thinking about it.

"Well, probably, I don't hate humans per se, but I don't like the 'traits' that some humans have cultivated. In contrast, many youkai that make humans feel scared and frightened are more simple and easier to get along with. At least you know what those youkai want and do, and you can easily understand why they do it. But human beings ...... I've never been able to figure out what a lot of humans think, why they do that. ”

No wonder, when you think about it, Alice's behavior makes sense. She hates the evil and hypocrisy of human beings, but she is also like some people who believe in the inherent goodness of human beings, who believe that human beings themselves do not have those evil and hypocrisy inside, but are cultivated in the process of growing up because of the surrounding environment and other factors.

So Alice would go to human villages, but mostly to perform for the children who were still in school. Perform for the purer children she thinks haven't been tainted with the traits she hates. In addition to these, the festivals she occasionally attends are often the more simple small traders and ordinary laborers she can come into contact with in the lively scene. Even if the vendors will use some small tricks to make money, at least they are supporting themselves and their families with their hard work, and Alice, who is not pedantic, can understand this.

However, the 'upper class' in the human village probably belongs to the category that Alice hates. It is true that Levi had heard from Reisen that although everyone often went to human villages, Reisen had never met Alice in the village.
