And he even told me his e-mail address!I don't think that...WhisperA reply...Gotou-kunAnd he likes the same manga as me, so...I'm so happy!And I got to talk to him!Stop it...I see.Was that someone else?That was me...I thought so.I thought I wanted to get to know more about someone else.Give me your e-mail address.Rustle rustle...Sorry, I didn't bring it."In a bad mood?""I don't know what she's thinking."It's a book by the same author as back then.That uniform is from a different school.Smooth silky hair, big round eyes, beautiful skin...Ok, see you later.Ding dong ding dongAre you home?My drawings... Well, they weren't very good.He's talking even though he looks quiet.I wonder if I'll get a text soon."She seems boring."Eh, but... You're enviable.Who are you?Alice in Peripheraland
First PartAh, ok.Yuuko's a good name.I wasn't aiming to become a pro or anything.But thinking about it, I've always liked drawing simple drawings.Main characterAm I cute?This girl is my delusion.Hey, will I get to meet him again tomorrow?This delusion talks a lot.*Kacha*Please come to the teachers' lounge.I'm Kagami Alice!Nice to meet you!P-P-Please take it...Right?O-Ok...Welcome home.You were designed to be kind, cute and stylish.Didn't bother me at all.I was never directly made fun of or teased.Welcome!I met you here before.I'm such an idiot, there's no way that I can get closer to him.I'll change bookstores. I won't go there anymore.Just introduce yourself, idiot!I'm sorry about earlier, Alice.Geez...Ah, it would have been better if you were Alice...I know her, we went to middle school together.Yeah.Creeeak...That's me, right?She's the main character of the story I'm currently drawing.I want to meet him again.What? Is that her real name? Or a pen name?Whenever I was inconvenienced, I always blamed it on my name.ComicsN, I'll... buy it from a different bookstore...AhThis delusionShe's completely different from me.I wonder what Gotou-kun is doing right now.How do you know what I'm thinking?I-It's from Gotou-kun!Now...That's what it says...I can't be happy.She's my aspiration...I wonder if I can meet him again tomorrow...She's......I don't know.YuuIt's cute.Ding dongYear 2, Class 4, Kagami Alice-san, Year 2, Class 4, Kagami Alice-san.
Kagami = MirrorDidn't you let me have the book then too?...Huh? Am I mistaken?She's a girl who immediately says what's on her mind.The bookstore guy didn't go too?Ah, ok. Sorry.Yeah...Hey hey, it's him right.And I don't have any self confidence, so my voice inadvertently gets quieter. I don't mean to do it.Thanks for the text.
I...Reply, reply!I can't say that!How you said I didn't get it.But...Ok.Maybe he tells that to just anyone.A girl from class 1 wants to borrow it.Kagami-san said she didn't have it either."That person is scary."I'm bad at showing my emotions.He says his name is Gotou-kun...Eh?I designed her, but I didn't really give her a name.It's embarrassing, but she's the exact opposite of me.Scritch scritchEh, wasn't that name just now really cute?Seriously? What kind of girl is she? Is she cute?That's her, that's her.ClackSo, naturally you're a really beautiful girl.Tomoko, Takako, Minako...SlamThey sucked.HahahaAhAlice.I'm super happy!That's not something to get so excited over.Thinking that you're just a manga-loving otaku girl.Hey, do you have your math book?So, for the first timeMaybe in the depths of his heart he's laughing at you,Eh... Math, hold on...Those are my words.I'm the main character of your story.That which they call a mirror is far too beautiful.Did you hear that broadcast just now?Sorry for swooping in.Why are you getting so mad?AhAren't you going to draw the manga today?She's a delusion.He asked his friend to order it...I can't make that kind of expression.Nah, she doesn't live up to her name.There were days where I didn't talk with anyone in my class.Nothing happened today.Wah!Th-The book I was looking for...ThumpWhen I was little, having a cute nameBut gradually, the mismatch between my introverted personality and my nameMade me embarrassed and want to disappear every time I was called.She's really direct.HeyThat's what you drew, right?Like talking to my delusion.He'll make fun of me.You were so happy that you could talk to him.I just worried about it too much.Why are you lying to yourself?Then you'd have fun every day for sure.Alice, you don't get it at all.And? And?He wants to give it to me, so can I come to the bookstore tomorrow?Gyaaah!But,I'm such an idiot.You still haven't told him your name, have you!Why! I don't understand why!Gets really angry when I lie.If there's something painful, she has a sad look in her eyes.HeyIt seems like unless I tell her directly or draw it, she won't know.W-Wait, I'm opening it now.Just like how my moping turned into conviction,TikaI got to meet the bookstore guy again!Eh... Ah, ok...!That's because you're not used to talking with people.I only know about your good qualities.And writing messages to myself... right?Even though you modeled your story after yourself,I'm just sayingSometimes it's reassuringKagami-san.Even though I was a little happy about being talked to...That night, I got a text.I want to know his name. I wonder what I should call him!Alice?Alice, you know all of your flaws!I'm sorry about earlier, Alice.Alice.I'm looking forward to meeting him again tomorrow! Alice, do your best!She kind of seemed like she was in a bad mood. She's kind of scary.Alice!I can't change my expression all around like you...I'm just talking to myself,Tomorrow I'll go see the bookstore guy.Hey, hurry up and read it.Shut up...He's the same grade as me.Let's reply.Tell him thank you for letting me have the book.Ah, what should I reply with...Ah, um, earlier...I meant that it's strange for Alice to envy me.I...Why are you jealous of me?ContinuedHe said that his friend works part time at that bookstore, so he comes there often.Aren't you always hanging your head down? You should always be facing straight ahead.Does a delusion write words?I'm sorry about earlier, Alice.That's an interesting way of writing "y".And, sometimes,Even though you actually want to get closer to him, using such a reason...When something good happens, she gets excited just like a kid.Nope.Because I'm the main character.I guess that's obvious.Read it! Hurry hurry!I told you not to write on drawing paper.I wonder what Gotou-kun is doing right now.Eh, I just know.Ah!A text! It lit up!A-A-Alice is a cute name, it says...Wai, stop...!This delusion definitely reveals my mind.When I'm happy, I can't really say that I'm happy.What did you mean?But I'm the opposite.You're my delusion, right...?There shouldn't be any differences between us.I wonder...Say I'm super happy.I can't really talk out loud...Then why don't you try writing the same thing?What you're thinking.And when I'm having fun, I don't fit in with the people around me...I wonder if another text will come.And you could get closer to Gotou-kun.Yay! Wow!!Yaaay!!!!"Gyaaah"... You're a girl...To be constantly pushed forward by that voice.At first, let me confirm you that this is my delusion.
