"......" The March Rabbit who drank black tea smiled, as if he was wordlessly mocking the stupid guest who had fallen into sophistry and couldn't get out.

"Puff ......" looked at the smirking Cheshire Cat who had always been that "amiable" look, but even that couldn't completely hide the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"......Whew," the hatter sipping black tea put down her glass, her eyes hidden under the lenses also revealing teasing, but she had the most enthusiastic smile. In a sense, the Hatter is the best hidden.

Sure enough, the "crazy gentlemen" in the crazy tea party are not crazy at all, they just pretend to be crazy, acting as directors and actors, all in order to keep this tea party in its original appearance. If they want to sabotage the tea party as they did at the beginning, then there is no need for them to remain "actors" anymore.

And now, they are stalling for time when they have entered their respective "roles", and the three guests who are waiting for them to greet them with anticipation give "can't give" sophistry, which makes them so embarrassed that they want to continue the tea party.

"You look pleased, Mr. Hatter. Irina put down the teacup, although the black tea is good, but let's save it for later.

The gentlemen are so "warmly" welcomed, and as a "guest", they must also give some gifts in return, so that they can be regarded as having a back and forth.

"Then I'd like to see what you mean......"

"Listen up. The hatter was hostile, but at the same time unhesitatingly confident.

Therefore, it is not a good thing to say that making demons is making demons, and this kind of self-confidence is not a good thing.

"Since no one can tell who the real 'Alice' is, let's just give each other a step. After a pause, Irina met the hatter's gaze without hesitation, "The two Alices we have seen are real 'Alices', can you accept that?"

"Goo......

The hatter unconsciously leaked a strange voice, and then in a panic picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads from his head.

[The two Alices I saw were the real "Alice", so the real "Alice" must be the two Alices I had already seen. 】

Combined with the observation of Alice, who has met one after another, with completely different strengths and purposes, Irina came up with this "sophistry". And...... Neither the Hatter, nor the Cheshire Cat nor the March Hare could argue with it.

After all, that's probably the case. Although I was unexpectedly obtained by the "negligence" of the gentlemen at this tea party, there are things worth exploring about Alice, but at the moment when time is already pressing, let's devote myself to the topic later. Because...... The hatter seemed to be unable to sit still.

“...... Hahaha, you, you're such an interesting guest. The sweaty hatter was making a very visible "eye contact" with the other two gentlemen, who were also fidgeting, as if they had been pinched by the handles. However, even so, the final result was the defeat of the Hatter, and at the same time, he gave Irina a very important piece of information.

"Anyway, that...... Let's talk about the time of the Magicians. After a long while, the hatter, who seemed to have calmed down, continued the tea party stiffly, "Don't the three guests feel that the life of the magician is too short?"

"It's a normal thing. Cheshire Cat interjected, "As long as it is a normal 'human', it will die of old age and disease, but we can keep the demon alive in the story." ”

"Isn't it going to be affected by time?"

"Of course. The Hatter smiled confidently, mocking Irina's ignorance, "If you're as familiar with the old fellow Time as I am, you'll know that we're always in the story." It's completely different from normal humans. ”

Indeed, the lifespan of human beings is finite and unknown, and this is always a topic that is talked about with a single purpose. Even those witches who are out of reach, they must not want any "untimely death". Some of them have done this, and Miradoro is probably the most obvious example. Her real age is obviously far from her appearance.

As for the demon-making words...... They do have an infinite lifespan. As long as the story happens, they'll always be there. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a friend of "time".

The three gentlemen, who had been discussing passionately, fell silent once more, and continued their previous actions. It was obvious how the suspended tea party would continue, and it was likely that even Letty knew how to force these gentlemen to speak. It's just that......

I wish Letty could give her a little time to think about other things, about time, about life...... It always feels like there's some wonderful connection to magic.

"But if you destroy the book, you demons will die in no time. ”

Letty, who thought of the answer for the first time, seemed a little excited, and Irina, who had understood the method earlier, had not even spoken, so she hurriedly continued the topic.

In other words, the lifespan of the demon is not unlimited. ”

"That's true, but so what?" said the hatter, without even thinking about it, and immediately retorted mercilessly at Letty. It seems that she has already figured out how to deal with this "simple and easy-to-understand" answer made by Letty.

"We have the protection of the master, and we will also make the master stronger. As long as this cycle can be opened, books cannot be destroyed, and we will always exist. Puff puff...... Guest, you are so plainly lovely. ”

"Uh-huh!" said Letty, who had been taunted by the face, stamped her foot angrily, but her head could no longer think of any way to make the silent hatter speak. She had been in the tea party for a while, and she seemed to have adapted a lot, and immediately grabbed a handful of bear biscuits and put them in her mouth.

"Letty, thank you. Although she laughed along, Irina was not mocking, but genuinely grateful.

"Hey, thank you...... Me?"

"Of course, you helped a lot. Irina nodded, and once again looked the hatter in the eye, this time ...... The hatter's gaze finally dodged at the beginning.

Letty's answer was a taunt, but the Hatter accidentally exposed a weakness from another angle. Indeed, if both the magicians and the demons were strong enough not to destroy the book, the demons would have existed forever. But......

"Then Mr. Hatter, if your master ...... Alice, what if she took the initiative to change the story in the book?"

Wait, it seems strange here! It's just an example, but if you ...... If Alice's story ...... If it's really been tampered with!

No, you can't think about this now, everything must be based on the premise of ending the tea party as soon as possible, otherwise the "black" Alice may bring danger to the "white" Alice. As for that...... I can only save it for later!

"In that case!" Irina stood up and took a step forward to catch up with the hatter who had left his seat in a hurry, "the demons will be forced to ...... Do you think I'm right, Mr. Hatter?"

"Well, this ...... I ......"

Panicked, the hatter showed great panic, like a duckling pinched by the neck. The Cheshire Cat jumped up as well, and stood its tail as if it had been fried. The March Hare was drinking tea with her hat barely pressing, but her wavering was already very obvious.

This is just a tea party, and what is going on is just a whimsical "debate competition", but the performance of these three "gentlemen" is too abnormal. They must be hiding some secret that must never be revealed, and even if they leave the table in a hurry, they must escape the questioning that will follow.

Yes...... It's so hateful, if it's usual, you must continue to entangle, but only this time......

"All three of them look a little in a hurry!"

Irina resolutely pinched the hatter's collar and watched her panicked eyes drift around, "If there's something urgent, how about this tea party end here!?"
