Paradise Ellie angrily locked 'Ailisia's' head with her arm, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
Although she saw 'Alicia's' memories, her personality was the same as the original, and she also sensed some of Alicia's emotions—naturally, the Paradise Fat Lady felt the same, or even twice, dissatisfaction with this.
You scoundrel, you're using my appearance in front of me, the original owner of this body—you're trying to provoke me, aren't you! Okay, Paradise Airi admits she was annoyed!
Monster suits are so annoying, especially when they look so realistic.
...Well, looking at another 'self', it doesn't feel so bad.
As the ultimate form of a lesbian in paradise, Paradise Airi felt Jiang's 120% form, and while she was angry, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy and restless.
What fairy could resist another 'Alicia'?
Jiang Qiao, who was being playfully hit by having his neck held, was a little helpless, but he also cooperated by rolling his eyes, which made Le Tu Ai Li very happy. However, when he tried to get up, he felt a heat in his ears - they were covered.
"Don't move, you bad guy. Hmm... you should be able to adjust your ears, right?"
Is it really necessary?
Jiang Qiao was speechless.
He chose this form not only because it was interesting, but also because this was the 'default setting', which is why he became the earless 'Alicia'.
Adjusting the ears is indeed possible, but after failing to prank the fat lady in Paradise, there seems to be no need to do anything further.
"Hmm~ You want to see my true form, right?"
Jiang Qiao did not intend to deny this.
Since we've come all this way to Paradise, it wouldn't hurt to check on Alicia's situation as well.
In response, Paradise Ellie puffed out her cheeks:
"If you leave a beautiful girl to see another girl... she'll definitely be unhappy about that!"
"? Isn't she your original form?"
"The physical body is the physical body, and the memory is the memory!"
Faced with Jiang's question, Paradise Lovely hummed and pouted.
Even the two personalities of one person can argue! Let alone the memory and the original self?
"...Yes, indeed."
Thinking of the filial piety between Möbius and the original body, Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly.
Although he didn't know what Paradise Ellie was planning, he figured that adjusting her appearance would only take a little effort, and not wanting to be bothered any further, he decided to change his form from 'early Alicia' to the same 'fusion warrior Alicia' form as Paradise Ellie.
Seeing this, a look of satisfaction appeared in Paradise Airi's eyes.
That's right, that's correct!
I don't want your original form, I want to become like me!
Ellie, you know, I'm very possessive!

Chapter 161 'Jiang Qiao' Trade
It might sound strange for a memory entity to be jealous of its original self, but after completing a 'spiritual communion' with Jiang Qiao, Paradise Airi did feel jealous of the relationship between Jiang Qiao and her original self. She couldn't participate in such an interesting thing, and Jiang Qiao was so obedient and indulgent towards her original self. Even if it might not be purely out of love, Paradise Airi was still very envious.
Of course, she knew that if she made the same demands of Jiang Qiao as she did of her original self, perhaps the other party would treat her equally.
But Paradise Ellie has no intention of doing so.
After all, he had already done too much—as the lingering echo left by Alicia, she did not want to make Jiang Qiao even busier because of her, even if it was just a trivial moment for the latter.
Besides, doesn't something that can be obtained very easily seem very 'cheap'?
She would cherish him, seeing him as her 'important treasure,' that's how Paradise Ellie wanted to view this man named Jiang Qiao.
Then, she told the other party about the current situation of her original self.
"...Uh."
Hearing that Alicia was active in Paradise in the form of 'Jiang Qiao', Jiang Qiao was inevitably a little confused.
He adjusted his ideology to the 'Alicia' form on a whim, wanting to see Paradise Alicia's reaction, and also because he was too lazy to adjust it.
Just like the so-called 'setting'—in order to use the primordial power more efficiently, and also under the influence of Alicia's powerful 'physical memory shaping', Jiang Qiao's consciousness presented the current 'Alicia' form.
To revert to the original state, one would have to peel off the 'shell' that [Alicia] had placed over one's consciousness. Restoring it to factory settings would be too troublesome, and besides, once one leaves Paradise and uses [Alicia]'s body again, 'it' would definitely try to 'devour' one's body.
Of course, a more professional term would be 'compatibility'.
Because the clothes (body) and the person wearing them (inner self) are so well-matched, it becomes not so easy to take off the clothes.
—But my own body shouldn't have this problem.
After all, it is essentially just a 'human' shell, which is incompatible with Alicia's inner self and has a very low compatibility.
This is why the Fat Lady appears in her original form in the Stigmata Space—probably because she's overweight and the dumpling wrapper can't contain her at all (I'm sure of it).
Jiang, who was not using the 'Alice' mindset, or rather, who found it difficult to understand what the fat lady was thinking even if he did, gave up after thinking for a while.
Let her use it. After all, I'm already running around in the 'Alicia' suit, aren't I? As long as she's happy.
"After you see her, you are not allowed to tell her about the Paradise of the Past and about me."
"...?"
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow; he didn't quite understand the significance of Paradise Ellie's request.
To this, Paradise Ellie rolled her eyes, puffed out her cheeks, and said unhappily:
"Anyway, you were planning to let her choose the future she wanted!"
Jiang Qiao does not deny this.
Just like he had casually asked Alicia before—he didn't intend to force her to accept her fate.
Whether she wants to be a Herrscher or a human, whatever her choice, Jiang Qiao will unconditionally support Alicia.
He didn't mind Alicia's escape—as long as he took on Alicia's share as well, wouldn't that be fine?
The same applies to the journey to the Pure Land of the Past.
In fact, Jiang Qiao never had any expectations for Kiana, Bronya, or even Raiden Mei.
Kiana and her friends resolutely chose to face the future, and he acknowledged their decision, offering them as much help as possible to make their chosen path as 'easy' as possible, based on reasonable considerations.
And Alicia—of course, the same goes for the fat lady who wanted to escape; the decision to let her enter Paradise was simply because she didn't want her to feel lonely.
Before the appearance of the Herrscher of Corruption, Paradise was undoubtedly the safest place in the original world, with the echoes left by the heroes of the past, and she would not lack the company of others.
After all—Alicia's biggest fear is loneliness, isn't it?
"You scoundrel!"
Paradise Ellie grumbled and complained, clearly dissatisfied.
That's why she was so jealous of her original self!
Although he also had Eden by his side—the other person always supported him unconditionally.
But Eden has its limits, and there are many things she desperately wants to help Alicia with, but can only feel powerless to do so.
The bad guy in front of me is capable of, and excessively indulges, his true self.
Honestly, if it weren't for not wanting to cause trouble for Jiang Qiao, once Le Tu Ai Li figured out what was going on, she really wanted to go and wake up her stupid self.
But it's okay—Alice from Paradise knows this very well.
Once my true self discovers the whole truth, it will surely make the right decision.
Paradise Ellie was so certain.
After all—she was his past self.
But now is not the time to make a decision. Paradise Ellie knows that with her personality, this kind of thing can't be done overnight. Otherwise, if Ellie makes a choice, it might bring trouble instead of help.
Jiang Qiao had already worked very hard, and she couldn't let her foolish self add further obstacles to the other party's already difficult path of 'saving the world'—even if Jiang Qiao didn't care about it.
