Chapter 3: The Root of All Evil—The Cheshire Cat

When Alice finally walked through the end of this heavenly corridor, a door came into view...... Doraemon's kind!

There is little need to be described as to what kind of door it is, why there is a door in the hallway, and the options for opening and bypassing the door...... You guys need the plot, plus the author is lazy!

Along the way, Alice didn't touch the young girl, and the only way out of the corridor was this door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

To sum up-

Anyway, Alice pushed the door open and entered...... Of course, the magic barrier was opened beforehand.

After all, the lessons of the past are there, in case there is another flood in the face or something...... It would be foolish not to learn the lesson.

Fortunately, this time Alice did not encounter any special incidents, on the contrary, she went in very easily.

The glare of light in the door cleared, and Alice, who had reopened her eyes, found herself in a new room again.

The difference is that this room resembles the hall of a banquet.

At this moment, a deserted banquet was being held in the hall.

The guests were all cold puppets, and some of them seemed to be damaged, with a little cotton exposed inside their bodies.

"Allah Meow~~, Duchess, there's a new guest coming~~" Curled up on the sofa, licking her cat's paws, with a paralyzed smile, but the cat-eared girl with a butterfly mask on her face chuckled.

"Welcome. Sitting on a high platform in the middle of the banquet, the Duchess, dressed in a splendid lady's costume, welcomed her with a blank face.

In response to the Duchess's invitation, Alice, who wanted to speak, suddenly smelled a bad smell in the air.

This made Alice reach out and cover her nose and look at the corner of the room where the smell came from.

It was a maid who seemed to be cooking, but judging from the dangerous alchemy reagents she had taken from time to time and poured into the pot, it seemed that what she had made was not edible for human beings...... Dark cuisine?

"Yona, how many times have you said that such a dish will only scare away the guests!" the Duchess also seemed to smell a strange smell that did not match the banquet, and frowned lightly in criticism.

"I'm an alchemist, not a maid! !! damn it," the maid seemed to be in a very bad mood, and kept cursing to herself.

While the Duchess and the maid are arguing, Alice comes to the cat lady who seems to her to be funny.

"Why don't you persuade me?" said Alice, who sat comfortably on the couch, turned her head and asked curiously.

"Because they have nothing to do with me. The cat lady who was covered by a butterfly mask smiled. At the end, the girl looked at Alice: "This sitting posture is very ungraceful. ”

“...... What about Meow's mouth fetish and behavior?"

"I'm too lazy to pretend. "What a casual actor.

"By the way, in fact, this cat's ears and claws can also be removed, and the tail is also ~~" The silky cat tail shook ~~

If you let the cute cat lady listen to it, it will definitely hit the beautiful fantasy,The girl chuckled jokingly.。

"What's your name?"

"You can call me a Cheshire Cat. ”

"Why do you have a smile?"

"Because of the character setting. "In a fairytale wonderland, the Cheshire cat who is always smiling. "Although I don't dislike it. The smile widens.

“?”

"Among the expressions, the smiley face is the most useful expression, and the hypocritical smiley face can solve a lot of troubles...... so just keep the smile on your face.

"Do you know how to get out of here...... Alice finally shifted the subject.

"Yes. Cheshire Cat laughed.

"Can you tell me?"

"Yes......" continued the Cheshire Cat laughing.

"......" Alice was silent. "Won't you tell a fake?"

"No, it won't. The Cheshire Cat still laughed.

Seeing Alice silent, not believing herself. The Cheshire Cat thought for a moment, and stretched out its paw to point at herself. "I don't look very weak. ”

Alice nodded. "It feels like a finger can pinch you to death. ”

"So I'm not going to die," the smiling Cheshire Catgirl explained honestly, "I just want to live well in this fairytale space, I don't want to die, so I have to learn to be kind to others, not to anger other people, not to meddle with things." "I have to say that adapted to the fairytale society here, the Cheshire Cat is very successful.

"Even if someone bullies you, beats you and scolds you?" Alice asked curiously.

"Just a smile. The Cheshire Cat's smiling face remained the same as the conversation. "Reach out and don't hit the smiling man...... So for me, a smiley face is the most practical expression. "You won't be bullied.

"A smiley face makes people feel kind, a smiley face makes people feel harmless, and a smiley face can paralyze the enemy...... is this a sales pitch?

"Listen to you, it's true. Alice thought about it and unexpectedly agreed!

"Even if you're not good at relationships—" Alice, who wasn't very popular in the class or family, touched her chin and snorted.

"As long as you learn to smile, you can also have a good relationship!" Cheshire Cat added with a smile to share his own experience. “

After discussing it for a while, finally, thinking about business, Alice waved goodbye to the Cheshire Cat.

"Laughing ......"

【Water Mirroring――!】

Alice conjured up a small mirror made of water out of thin air, and showed a big 'smile' to herself in the mirror.

"......" Alice, who rarely laughs, admits that she doesn't mention her cute appearance, what can she say about her smiling appearance...... Something scary?

"......" may be due to the gray eyes that are not emotional, and at this thought, Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to correct the smile in a friendly direction......

"......" Sure enough, without the influence of gray eyes, this smiling appearance can indeed deepen the sense of intimacy...... Looks like it should have been a success?

"......" However, smiling all the time is a test of the facial muscles......

After thinking about it, the gray magic surged in the palm of her hand, and the little hand touched her face, and Alice decided to 'set' her face to be transformed.

Regardless of the influence of the outside world, a person's facial expression is 'listless' in a normal state, so set one's 'face' to be 'smiling' in a normal state.

After the transformation, Alice, who had put down her hand, looked at her expression in the water mirror again.

"Heh~~~" This time, the silver-haired Lori laughed......

Isn't that perfect?

From now on......

Alice disappeared and was replaced by Alice......

......
