Luke was silent, he didn't think it was the right time to explain, but if he didn't answer, Alice would definitely throw a tantrum again
Alice sighed "if you don't want to answer it, that's fine" said Alice when she only received silence from Luke
"It's not like that, but I don't know where to start" Luke replied quickly
Luke quickly brewed tea in the wooden cup provided in the hut, he then gave it to Alice, "drink it first, this can calm you down" he said, "uh, my tea is not the best, but still can make you calm!" he continued convincingly
Alice frowned at that, she just sighed, "stop it" she replied, she then took the teacup and drank it
"I'm really sorry..." Luke said, his eyes were not daring to look at Alice, he don't know what to do, but he just feels really guilty now, he's never felt like this before, this is weird
Alice was silent for a while, she sighed, "it's also my fault, I'm not strong enough to fight you, so stop apologizing"
The two of them fell silent, the silence then began to form in the room
"We're not walking again?" ask Alice
Luke glared at her "your leg is still red and swollen, you want to walk again with that foot?" when his eyes fell on Alice's feet, Luke was speechless again, "I'm sorry" was all he could say
"How long are you going to apologize? Never mind it, I have forgiven you" said Alice, Luke immediately turned his head, looking into Alice's eyes to find a lie there, but to no avail, "if this continuous it just make me feel uneasy, and you also have reasons to bring me on your way right?"
"You really forgive me?!" ask Luke to make sure
Alice sighed "honestly, it really feels weird when the demon lord apologizes to me like this" she explained, it really felt weird if Luke apologized to her, Luke was the demon lord and demon never felt sorry right?
"I don't even know why I keep apologizing, it feels like it's not me" Luke sighed, he then held his chest tightly, "in my chest, it feels weird when I see you like this, it feels like my heart is torn apart, somehow a big regret comes haunting me I... I don't know why I'm like this" Luke explained, he sighed, he then looked at Alice's face, he could see Alice's surprised look, "what? why are you looking at me like that?" he asked surprised
When Alice came to her senses she looked the other way "ah no" she replied she looked back at Luke "it feels like you just confessed your love to me" she said with a clumsy smile and blushing cheeks
Seeing that, suddenly he felt blood rising to his head, his face suddenly turned red when he heard that, "Who said I love you?!" Luke yelled as he lost his cool, "this is embarassing!" he muttered, for a several times he glanced at Alice's face that still blushing, "ah damn!" he cursed then walked away from Alice
When Alice saw how Luke had lost his composure, a laugh came from her mouth, a really loud laugh and a satisfied laugh
On the other hand, Luke was standing at the door of the hut, a sense of pride suddenly rises in him when he heard Alice laugh, with satisfaction and pride he walked towards the river beside the hut to fetch water every now and then he hummed happily.

On the other hand,
In the dark room full of crystals and jewels, Shie stared at the crystal ball which showed Luke and Alice in it, Shie who saw the crystal ball in front of her smiled with satisfaction, "very interesting" she muttered under her breath.
Suddenly the curtain that separated his room from other rooms opened, her eyes shifted to the person who opened the curtain, "what is it?" she asked the man in front of her
The man walked in and sat in front of Shie, "how long are you going to just watch like this?"
"what do you mean?" Shie asked with her brow furrowed
"You don't want to stop it?" the man asked, "only you can do it"
Shie sighed, "I have nothing to do with this" she replied, her hand moving to touch the crystal ball in front of her, "this world is theirs, I only give them the power to create it, they were the one who have full authority over this world"
The man sighed when he heard it, "How long are you going to be like this?, the world will be destroyed"
Shie smirked, "isn't this interesting? I know you don't like to hear that this world will be destroyed, it can't be helped, you were born in this world" said Shie, she giggled softly, "but just so you know, this world should never exist "
The man gritted his teeth hard, "yes I know, but.... why destroy this world?"
Shie sighed again, her hand stretched out on the crystal ball in front of her, when Shie held the ball, the crystal ball disappeared, "what do you know about this world that never existed?" she asked, but it sounded like sarcasm, "you're not even a quarter of my age and you dare to tell me something about this world? Who do you think you are?"
The man glared at Shie, "I may be inexperienced, but I am only trying to protect everyone in this world"
Shie glared at the man in front of her, "Cho, nothing is eternal in where you live, this world, this galaxy and even all the stars in this world nothing is permanent, sooner or later all of this will be destroyed and when that time comes, you just need to accept it, your soul just needs to wait to be reborn in a different place" Shie explained, she put her finger on the man's chin, "I can't get into this problem, because the rabbit will catch me" she said
"rabbit?" The man stared in wonder, what is the relationship between rabbits and this world?
Shie smirked, "this is why you have no right to interfere, you really don't know anything"
"What do you mean about rabbits?"
Shie just sighed at the question of the man in front of her, this is really exhausting she thoughts, "rabbit, thanks to the rabbit now we have Lucifer's brother and holy angel, this world has been manipulated by a rabbit"
"What do you mean by manipulation?"
Shie took the cigar that was next to her, "Luke, the demon king knows about rabbits, so he plans to destroy this world himself"
The man frowned disapprovingly, with his right hand he took the cigar that was in Shie's hand, "not good for you" he said in an annoyed tone
Shie looked annoyed as she saw her cigar being taken "yes, but who would have thought Luke would suddenly invite Alice the holy angel to destroy the world"
The man smashed Shie's cigar, he then looked at Shie again, "Did the holy angel obey him?" he asked
"Yes, of course it's not that easy, the holy angel certainly doesn't want to destroy the world, her job is to protect the world, not to destroy" Shie explained, she sighed as she watched the man in front of her destroy her favorite cigar
"then?" the man asked again
"Luke insisted, he sealed the holy power of the holy angel, and of course it made Alice having a miserable ending" she explained, she lay down on the big black pillow behind her, her eyes still staring at the man in front of her, "from the past life, until now Luke can never stand to see his angel cry, 1 tear and he will immediately regret everything he did" Shie giggled softly
The man looked at Shie in surprise, "past life?"
Shie looked at the surprised man, "You really don't know everything, hm?" she said with a smirk, "you'll know what's going to happen, and when that time comes you'll know why this world had to fall apart"
"Why not continue?" the man asked in an annoyed tone when Shie stopped talking
Shie closed her eyes, "let me rest" she said, when she snapped her fingers the man suddenly disappeared from in front of her, she paused for a moment, and then the crystal ball reappeared in front of her, "Luke still doesn't understand anything except about the rabbit..." she mumbled softly with a smirk

Koorselian, the human world
Alice glared at Luke "I've recovered" she said confidently
Luke also glared at Alice "no you haven't"
"I know my condition better than you" Alice replied in a tone that sounded annoyed at Luke
Luke sighed "no, you still need to rest"
Alice glared, "the sooner the better, we've already spent 2 days in this hut! How long are we going to be like this?!"
Luke sighed again, "Come on, can't we not fight anymore?, you still need to rest"
Alice gave Luke a strange look, "what's the matter with you?" she asked
Luke was silent, he rolled his eyes and then lifted Alice's body in his hands, of course it made Alice surprised, "what are you doing?!" Alice screamed at Luke
Luke was silent, he put Alice's body on the floor which had been covered with a blanket in the hut, "rest as much as you want, we still have plenty of time"
Alice's eyes stared intently, "what's plenty?!"
Luke sat himself next to Alice "come on, get more rest, your legs are still swollen if you walk again you'll only hurt it again"
Alice was silent, "okay, but tomorrow we have to walk again"
"if your leg isn't swollen anymore" Luke continued
Alice sighed, "even I don't actually know what your purpose for you to brought me into this journey ...", Alice then looked at Luke with a frown, she really didn't know what Luke's goal was, other than destroying the world.
Luke was silent, he sighed, he wasn't sure to tell this right now, but... "I'm looking for a rabbit..." he said suddenly
"rabbit?" Alice gave Luke a strange look, "to eat?" she asked in surprise
Luke rolled his eyes when he heard Alice's reply "Looks like you really don't know anything about that damn rabbit"
"what rabbit?" Alice asked confused
Luke sighed, "that rabbit is the reason why we are in this world" he replied with a serious look, "that rabbit has manipulated God and Lucifer"
Alice looked confusedly at Luke "please explain properly, I won't understand if you talk half-heartedly like this"
"Listen to me and don't cut it" Alice nodded hearing that, "in the beginning, there was neither Alice the holy angel nor Luke the demon lord, we would never have existed if the rabbit didn't exist in this world, however, that rabbit was the beginning of the misfortune" Luke explained he sighed again, "you know why God ordered you to go back to heaven after giving you the task of killing me?" Alice shook her head, if she think it again, there was no particular reason when the God asked her back, "that's because, at that time she realized that we were fated not to meet each other, because the world would be destroyed if we met"
Alice frowned, "why? I don't understand" Alice asked in surprise
"More than that I don't know, but for sure we have to kill the rabbit to prevent the destruction of the world" Luke explained with a serious face
Alice still doesn't understand, isn't Luke's goal is to destroy the world? "But you want to destroy the world right?" she asked
Luke sighed "I want to destroy the world that the rabbit has been playing with, the rabbit has played wherever he can, he is spreading a disaster, this world feels like poison thanks to him" Luke explained with his eyes staring disdainfully at the ground, "this world is already destroyed. and it can't go back to normal"
Alice tried to think, whatever it was she didn't understand what Luke was explaining, why would the world be destroyed if they met? What will happen?
"I still don't understand why the world will be destroyed if we meet"
Luke looked at Alice flatly, "I'm also not sure, the only ones who know are the rabbit and Taurinz the holiest creature"
Alice was silent for a while, "Is it because of that rabbit, Taurinz came to this world?" Alice guessed
Luke looked at Alice for a while "if my guess is right, Taurinz must have given God a prediction of the future, but I'm sure God won't tell us the secrets of the world" Luke then sighed, he didn't know what to do.
"Speaking of rabbits, this reminds me" Alice said suddenly, attracting Luke's attention, "the day we meet again in heaven, before we met, I saw a boy with bunny ears" Alice explained.
Luke immediately got to his feet, he looked seriously at Alice when he heard that, "a boy with bunny ears?!"
Alice nodded, "At that time, he suddenly appeared in my room then he said that the demon lord is my heart" Alice tried to remember again, but strangely, why is her memory now blurry?
Luke looked seriously at Alice, "what else did he say?"
Alice tried to remember again, "he asked if I love you" Alice replied, she sighed, "what a stupid question, how can I fall in love with a demon lord, it doesn't make sense" Alice rolled her eyes, after being reminded of it, the child's words doesn't make sense, what he said? her in love with a demon lord? how could she fall in love with him? it would be better if she fell in love with a human instead of a demon lord who once humiliated her
Luke stared blankly at Alice "hey, I have a heart you know? the way you talk it's like it's impossible for you to fall in love with me"
Alice turned to Luke, she smirked "of course it's impossible"
Luke looked flatly at Alice, "Never mind, but for sure you already know the shape of the rabbit, right?" ask Luke
Alice nodded, actually her memory was vague but what she did remember was that it was a boy who had rabbit ears, "actually I still don't understand what happened..." said Alice suddenly
Luke was silent, "I don't understand either, but for sure we have to stop the rabbit" he said for sure
