"Is what you really said, true Grandma?" Aika's voice quivered as the aura she now gives the aura of a small animal making anyone to see her have the urge to give her a hug and protect her. She was even whimpering under the arms of Alisha and the hearts of everyone around them broke as all of them fall to their knees, but even with all of that, they refuse to believe Alisha's words, even if she was the Grandmother of Aika. They cannot simply believe her words because what she has said was simply outrageous.
"Little one… I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling the truth. You can even look at Flute yourself, you'll be able to see your Mother's Soul in there yourself." Alisha said with a sad smile as she continued her acting to try and win Aika's heart and even gave her the Flute that she stole from Yuki's hand. As for how she stole it, she distorted the Space around Yuki's arm to create a portal and grabbed it without her knowing. Aika didn't hesitate to grab the Flute in her hands and without hesitating she send consciousness inside of the Flute to see if her Mother's Soul is really in there. And when she finally regained consciousness, she cried even louder.
"It's okay… Don't cry, your Grandmother is here with you. I will always stay by your side and protect you, I will never lie to you like your Mommy did to you. Such a horrible woman, she tried to kill your Fairy Mother who you missed so much…" Alisha hugged Aika's body even tighter and she then lets her cry her heart out so that she could calm down and when she finally stopped crying, she was about to reach out to pat her head she heard the sound of Flute playing which stopped her.
"Why can't I move my body?" Alisha was confused and couldn't help but question, but when she finally realized what was the cause of it it was already too late for her as she got stabbed with something sharp right in her chest, and because she was not expecting some kind of attack, she didn't even had any chance of blocking it. But that attack was not enough to kill her so she managed to counter and pierce her entire arm in Aika's body and when she did, she felt that something was wrong. Because even when she struck her chest, she didn't feel any bones, it was as if she only hit a pool of blood. And once again, it was too late for her to do anything when another individual showed up.
"That's something you can't see every day. A Grandmother who didn't show any remorse didn't even hesitate for a single second and stabbed her granddaughter in the chest, if that is not cruel, I don't know what it is." Yuki appeared in front of her with a cold smile as she held the body of Aika in her hands without a single emotion surfacing her face.
"So, how does it feel for all of your plans to crumble away right in front of your very eyes?" Yuki made herself a chair and looked at Alisha with coldness and a hint of murderous intent behind those eyes that would make anyone shiver in fear if they saw it.
"You… you're so despicable. To think that you would use the blood of your own daughter to catch me…" Alisha was speechless but she was already powerless in front of her.
"Oh, it looks like your not as stupid as you seem. But sadly, you're a million years too young if you think you can outsmart me with such tricks." Yuki chuckled and in a snap of a finger, everyone around her begins to turn red before they all turn into a blob of blood that begins to float around Yuki's body.
"Blood Clone… It's a cool Skill, right? You can create a person that looks, feels, and have the same aura as their original one. And you can even elevate it further if you are the one who is controlling them." Yuki once again laughed, but soon that laughter turned into a demonic laugh as Yuki vanished from her spot and killed the person who was trying to act like Amane. And after she killed her, she sat back down and stared at Alisha once more with her piercing cold eyes.
"Haaa… I have completely fallen into your trap. You have been plotting this for weeks now and found the right time to do it which is right now. You abruptly said that you want to have a picnic with everyone because you miss and want to spend time with them, but in reality, you just wanted to catch me. And by using the Blood of all of them, you were able to pull me deeper because I would never be able to tell the real one to the clone, I didn't expect your plans to run so deep like this. I completely lost to you." Alisha said in regret as she simply couldn't believe how well Yuki perfectly executed her plan to bring her down, there were almost no flaws in them because of how perfect it is.
"That's why I said your a million years too young, I'm more cunning and manipulative than you think. Though, you're wrong about one thing though. Both of these guys are not a clone, they're the real deal. HAHAHAHAHH!" Yuki laughed once, her laugh was like that of a demon, and soon after, Ayame and Serene arrived in front of Alisha. Both of them had the same expression, pure coldness. It looks like they want to kill her right where she stands.
"Mother, don't try to do anything to her. I know that you are angry, but don't worry, I already have everything under my control." Yuki stepped forward and stopped Ayame before she could even attack Alisha who was quivering. Even if she was older and as powerful as a Primordial God, in terms of strength she would still be the weakest. And in front of these two powerful Monsters who already have the strength of a Primordial God, injuring her is an easy job for them.
"WHAT! Don't try to stop me, Yuki. This woman tried to kill my granddaughter right in front of me! And her reason is just because she wants her own daughter to live! NO! I will not let you take the innocent life of my granddaughter who is even yet to grow just for your own selfish desires!" Ayame yelled in anger and seeing this, Yuki shakes her head and grabbed her hand to calm her down. Ayame being angry is not going to do anything in their situation.
"I thought you were a good person at first because you were even the person who taught me how to change, change to be a better person. But it seems that my perspective about you is wrong, you are nothing but evil." Ayame pointed at Alisha but this time around she has calmed down thanks to Serene and Yuki's support.
"If you were in my shoes, I'm sure you'll do the same. If Yuki was dead, you'll do anything just to resurrect her even if it means killing someone who is precious to you."
