Before Arcansas revealed herself, inside Old Maytan's Separate World, Avion and Alisera had their own private area where even the strongest Rank Es Elesp doesn't disturb them.
"Hello, Avion." Alisera then sat on his lap as she said so. Her eyes glaring into the depths of Avion's soul.
"Alisera... what do you want with ?" Avion had a solemn expression.
"Nothing, just wanting to exact revenge. I hope you can satisfy with your death." Alisera then brought out a weapon from under her dress.
"You... you're going to kill ," Avion's eyes widened, "with a spoon?"
Alisera looked at what she got and frowned, "What's wrong with it? All I did was eat ice cream. How can I request a knife when eating ice cream?"
"You know, with your Rank Bih strength, even without a weapon, you could kill ."
"No, don't lie to . I have heard it, how you flaunt that you're basically undying with your ti abilities."
"I did not do such a thing... when was that?"
"... When we're riding the Penta Elentalist's cloud."
"That was not flaunting..."
"Flaunting to my ears."
"... I thought you're going to kill ?" Avion rolled his eyes sideward.
Alisera then raised her eyebrows, "You look awfully calm?"
"I don't know, I can't really picture you doing it." Avion confessed.
To this, Alisera frowned, "Why?" she solemnly asked.
"Why...? I already said I don't know."
"Is it because you see as incapable?" Alisera then leaned forward.
There was not a hint of innocence in her eyes. It was as if she's a different person.
"I said I don't know..." but Avion didn't flinch as he glanced at her.
"The reason why I'm not killing you now is that I want to ask a few questions." Alisera then placed the head of the spoon on top of Avion's heart.
"You're serious?"
"I'm serious."
"Then... ask away."
Unbeknownst to Alisera, Avion was actually scared. Just like before, if Avion had no possible escapes and all leads to death, then it would be an infinite ti loop of death for him. Of course, until he unlocked a new ability that will give him new outcos or that his soul will finally shatter, killing him forever.
Alisera then dropped her head and placed it on Avion's chest.
"Avion, why did you leave at that ti?"
Avion was a bit confused. He expected her questions to be about her mother's death but it wasn't.
"At that ti?"
"The first ti we t... why did you leave ?"
"I didn't leave you, I only escaped the king at that ti."
"That's leaving in my eyes."
Avion does feel guilty about it, but at that ti, he was a bit hurt.
"Actually, since you already know that ti will co back once I died, then it is easy to explain that I once died at your father's hands."
Alisera's eyes widened.
"But that wasn't the reason why I actually left that place..."
"Why did you left?"
"If I died at that ti, what do you think your reaction will be?" Avion suddenly asked.
Alisera raised her head and answered, "I... I don't know... how did I react?"
"Well, you certainly got angry at your father for killing . But it wasn't a good thing. You are even called a devil by your parents."
"Why?"
"Because you shouted at them for killing your new toy or pet...? I actually forgot."
"Eh...? But I didn't see you that way..."
Seeing Alisera's baffled face made Avion beco certain of his thought.
"It's okay. I later realized that you just can't put it into words and that you're just too spoiled."
Hearing this, Alisera beca expressionless.
"Avion, to tell you the truth, I'm clearly aware of it."
"Of what?"
"That I am spoiled... I am aware of it and I hate it... I hate it so much!"
"Ouch!" Avion felt the spoon actually stabbing him. When Alisera realized she released the pressure which Avion used Revert.
"S-sorry... no, wait! Not sorry, I will eventually kill you after these questions..." Alisera rebuked her own words.
After a pause, she then sighed and continued.
"That's why when you slapped , I learned sothing..."
Avion then had a surprised face, 'No way!'
Seeing Avion's reaction, Alisera imdiately denied, "No, I'm not like that pervert Edora!"
"Y-you know...?"
Alisera's face then turned red and whispered, "W-well, it was pretty obvious... She thinks she was hiding it but after eting you, she turned into a pervert... let's just say I witnessed so things that she does alone while shouting your na that I shouldn't have! That's that!"
"O-oh..." Avion was actually not surprised.
"Mine's different... when I first saw you. True, I did think you're kind of my type and wanted you to be my... pet or sothing. Maybe that's why I reacted like that which I don't rember."
"But then?" Avion was curious as this was the first ti, Alisera talked about herself.
"But then you talked to on equal grounds. Yes, you did look at with perverted eyes back then-"
"Wait, seriously?!"
Alisera nodded and lightly laughed, "Your eyes are always falling here." she pointed at her chest, "But now, you don't do it anymore."
Avion suddenly felt pain in his chest. This was the first ti he experienced it... cringe. He felt so embarrassed that it was physically hurting him!
"That's when I thought, maybe you're the sa as . You looked and acted like a spoiled brat like too. That was it. Soone I could talk to on equal grounds."
Alisera then continued, "At least, I thought I could share my feelings, thinking that you have the sa thoughts. We are being spoiled day and night until we are sick of it. We wanted to achieve sothing in our own strength. Overcoming challenges with our own power. Eating food out of our own effort! I wanted to feel success! However, I'm weak. I can't get out. I hate it but when Edora feeds , I eat it. When papa gifts dresses, I wear them. When mama sings to sleep, I enjoy it."
Avion began understanding what she was trying to say.
"I want to get things my own but should I reject them!? I know I can but I can't! I'm addicted to relying on them and I hate it but I can't stop! I'm weak!" Alisera beca emotional and began clenching her fists that bent the spoon.
"And that when you ca in! You didn't look down on , yet you didn't pamper either. You punish when I'm wrong and teach what is right. Even my parents can't do it and even other spoiled cousins of mine are scared of . That was when I thought, as long as I'm with you, I will grow and learn. I just need a push which sothing you can only give! But then you disappeared! You left ! Then you're also responsible for my mother's death!"
Alisera then cried before continuing;
"Tell , how can I rely on you when you are my mother's killer!? Do I forget my mother or do I stay in the dark? I don't want to be in the dark! It's either I'm pampered or I will be used by strong people! Avion, you're the only one that stands equal for ! Tell , what do I do!?"
