Chapter 256: CH.253 Factory tour for two new people

The next morning, I got in contact with Alice through our system link. She was still in a different room, even if she really wanted to sleep next to me. Well, she was still considered ‘recovering’. But we were going to attempt to bring her into the factory. It should be easy enough, considering that we have done it before with Lua.

 

… but that also led me to hearing the voice of Alice’s System Support for the first time. And I’m not sure if I’m happy with it.

 

(Alice. Please request that your system support changes his voice.) I half begged.

(Brian. But why? I like your voice, so why can I have that?)

Yes. Alice’s System Support did in fact have my voice. And I wasn’t the biggest fan. Even Lua was against it, because it would make things confusing, like the voice of Mia did before Mia changed hers. Also, Alice and I were back using the ‘say the person's name before the message’ style of communicating, like I did with Lua when we first started using the system instant messenger. 

(Alice, you need to understand, it will just be better.) Lua reasoned. (Even my system support took the voice of my mother at start, before I realized how confusing it would be.)

(Alice, Lua. But I’m not sure who I should use…)

(Alice. How about going through some of Mana’s memories? She should have known people whose voice you can use.)

(Ah! Yes. I’ll do that then.) Alice quickly agreed. She still goes with my suggestions way too easily. I wonder if I should install Remove Brainwashing into her? That might help with that.

While Alice was changing the settings on her System Support, Lua and I went ahead to the factory just to make sure everything was fine. Lua’s connection was fine, and we saw no issues, so all that was left was trying to bring Alice into here.

(Alice. Just close your eyes and think you want to come to Brian’s Different Dimension Factory.) Lua instructed her. (Then let your system support do the rest.)

 

Soon enough, another avatar manifested itself near the circular table at the foot of the control platform. 

Alice looked, well like she does after her fusion and evolution, with her long blond hair and heterochromic eyes. She was wearing the same magical girl outfit as she did when she fought the behemoth. It looked quite a lot like the one Dark Magician Girl wears, except that Alice’s one was blue and dark green, whereas Mana’s usual outfit is blue and pink.
