Chereads / Isekai Crossover: The Protagonist Who Outsmarted the System / Chapter 22 - C.C. and Alpha's Afternoon Tea, Changed Fate

Chapter 22 - C.C. and Alpha's Afternoon Tea, Changed Fate

"You had an argument with C.C.? That really surprises me. What did you two say?" Kishi asked with interest.

Neither Alpha nor C.C. were unstable people. Alpha had the temperament of an organizational leader at a young age, reminiscent of the strong female CEOs of large companies from his previous life. Meanwhile, C.C. had a wealth of life experience. Although the witch was free-spirited and willful, she was probably too lazy to argue.

If it were Delta and Zeta, or Beta and Epsilon arguing, Kishi wouldn't be surprised at all.

"Hmm, it seems like nothing happened yet," Kishi observed, noting the girl's steady breath and the lack of any signs of a fight. Well, if it came to blows, the loser would definitely be C.C. Now, Alpha's strength was second only to Kishi's. If a fight really broke out, the immortal witch would just be her punching bag.

[Speaking of which, I don't know why, but after I named Alpha and the others, they somehow became stronger.]

[The same goes for everyone else in the courtyard. After being given a name, everyone has become stronger to varying degrees... It's incredible that in this world, one can become stronger just by receiving a name.]

After sighing, Kishi realized this world was indeed different, full of mysteries.

He released the elf girl gently, and Alpha spoke after adjusting her mentality slightly.

"Actually, I don't know why. We got into an argument as we were talking, but now that I think about it... it was probably because of my immaturity," Alpha said with a wry smile.

At that moment, Kishi noticed a tuft of green hair swaying outside the window, but he listened quietly to the girl's words and did not expose it.

---

About an hour ago, in the castle courtyard, Alpha was practicing her sword skills alone. Recently, the number of people in [Dark Night Courtyard] had increased dramatically, and her workload as the first seat had also grown significantly.

After Kishi taught her the treatment method for [Devil Possession], they were able to save the descendants of heroes like themselves. Then came the organization programming, arranging training, teaching tactics, explaining the truth, and her own training. Alpha was busy, but it was fulfilling.

Then, a passing witch made an invitation.

"Hey~ Elf over there, what will happen if you take a little rest? Didn't you realize your sword is about to fall off?"

"You are Miss C.C...."

"It's me. Want some pizza?"

"Is that okay? Thank you."

"You're welcome... but I can only take two pieces."

After being reminded by the witch, Alpha realized she had been working too hard. She hadn't even eaten lunch, and her stomach was growling, so she accepted C.C.'s kindness.

Alpha was curious about this witch. C.C. did not join [Dark Night Courtyard]. Although she lived in the boy's castle like herself and the other girls, her relationship with Kishi was probably the most complicated. He was Kishi's subordinate, Ram Rem was his maid, or simply put, Kishi was their master. But what was the relationship between this witch and him? Alpha was curious about this, but...

"What was Miss C.C. like before?"

"Who knows, I've almost forgotten what happened in the past, and your side seems more interesting than mine."

Even if she asked questions, she would be deflected. This witch seemed lazy and undisciplined, but she was surprisingly flawless... The only thing known about her was that she liked pizza the most, a food developed by Kishi.

That guy was really amazing. He was even good at cooking, but thinking about it, it seemed natural.

"Your destiny has really been rewritten, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Although I thought that person had the power to change other people's destinies, I didn't expect he could do it to such an extent."

"Miss C.C., you mean?"

"Have you not noticed? Yes, it is difficult for a person to realize this kind of thing."

Then the witch took out a mirror from somewhere and placed it in front of the elf.

Looking at the beautiful face reflected above, Alpha was still puzzled.

"See for yourself, there is no resentment in your eyes... Originally, your fate should be to become a fanatic seeking revenge against the Diabolos Order, and your eyes would be filled with despair, anger, and deathly silence."

"Well!"

"But this is not the case. Although you are still seeking revenge against the Diabolos Order,... your eyes are very bright, without a trace of pollution."

"...Indeed it is."

Alpha looked at herself in the mirror. Wearing a training uniform, even though she was sweating, she looked even more charming (it made you want to lick her). Not only did she not have any gloom, but she could also smile.

Originally this was impossible. After being possessed by the devil, she lost everything, including her family, friends, status, appearance, and shelter. She was supposed to be a resentful avenger, with a dark haze in her eyes, obsessed with the destruction of the Diabolos Order. This was her original destiny.

But the reason why it didn't become like this...

"Ah, it's all thanks to Kishi."

After realizing this again, Alpha's cheeks turned slightly red, and she showed an absolutely adorable smile.
