Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo

There are girls who fight, wagering the stories locked within their hearts.

If you were to read these stories,

you would find that they are part of a greater, incomplete tale said to make any dream come true.

When the power of one’s imagination becomes the power to forge one’s dreams into reality,

the fight to complete the unfinished tale begins.

Take me to your story

onto an outline drawn in plain white.

A palette filled with all the colors of the world

dwells within everyone's heart.

Your prayers for hidden desires

will join together with your overflowing dreams,

if you've discovered the key that binds them.

Spread your wings with a dream-filled heart

and we can go anywhere, no matter how far away it is.

The two tales we are weaving

will harness the wind and carry us to the distant eternity.

Eternal Alice Rondo

Key Princess Story

Eternal Alice Rondo

Original Translation: Froth-Bite Edited by: Zalis

I’m writing a story.

A story I created.

A story I imagined.

Using this quill, which I bought from an antique shop,

I’m writing it down slowly and carefully.

This is my treasure: my own story about Alice.

It’s already this late?

Why are the most beautiful things always the farthest away?

Al-ice?

Alice!

Our eyes met...

Could it be?!

Not only does she really exist, she’s just like I imagined!

And she’s even flying!

Hey, wait!

She’s headed towards the academy?

Where did she go?

There she is!

Wait!

Hey, you!

The library?

She disappeared so fast.

W-What was that just now?

Are you all right?

Who are you? And why are you here?

Now’s my chance!

Wha...

It’s all right.

This won’t harm or kill her.

All I’m going to do is unlock the story hidden inside her heart, so I can read it for a bit.

No...

Stop it...

B-But that’s...

S-Stop...

O hidden door within the heart,

guardian of untold secrets,

With this key in thy lock, I bid thee open,

and reveal the story held within!

Paper came out of her body?!

The story that lies deep inside your heart is wonderful.

Your secrets...

Stop it!

Don’t... read any more!

I’ve taken your part of the story.

Now, I’ll return the rest.

From now on, your story will be recorded here.

S-She disappeared?!

You’re a strange person.

How were you able to enter my pocket dimension?

W-What?

I should be asking the questions here!

Just who or what was your opponent just now?

Who was that girl? No wait, who are you?

Well, I guess it’s all right.

Thanks to you, I was able to take that girl’s story.

Hey, wait!

You shouldn’t stay here much longer either.

Alice...

Onii-chan!

Kiraha!

I was so worried! You disappeared all of a sudden!

Kiraha?

Your hands have gotten cold.

Have you been waiting outside the entire time?

Mom and Dad asked me to look after you while they’re away on business.

That’s why I was worried.

Sorry.

Shall we go home?

Onii-chan, where did you go?

Even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.

Are you keeping secrets from me?! That’s mean!

I don’t really understand it myself.

What happened? Where did you go?!

I went to meet Alice.

Alice?

Alice this! Alice that!

All you ever think about is Alice!

School is boring.

It’s like we’re basically riding an escalator to college.

There isn’t anything interesting or exciting about it.

It’s really back to normal.

Was it... just a dream?

Seeing Alice last night must have been...

What are you reading?

Y-You’re...

Alternate L Takion’s “Alice”?

You like the Alice novels too?

Umm...

Could you be the one from yesterday!?

Do I look that different in a school uniform?

Then it really did happen!

What I still don’t understand is how you were able to enter my Wonderland Space.

W-Wonderland Space?

It’s a pocket dimension that only we Alice Seekers can enter.

I-I really have no idea what a Wonderland Space is,

or who these Alice Seekers are...

Please be quiet in the library.

I’m really sorry, Miss Librarian.

Let’s go outside.

H-Hey!

Sorry!

You should watch where you’re going.

Sorry!

An Alice Seeker?!

Obviously, one should watch where they’re going,

yet it’s so hard to do.

That’s an interesting theme.

It seems all we did was apologize.

I’m sorry!

There is a story locked within the heart of each Alice Seeker.

We fight to take those stories.

Even now, I still don’t really believe what I saw, or that you were able to...

I couldn’t help it.

I had to do it to see The Eternal Alice.

W-Wait a minute.

The Eternal Alice?

Those books you were reading earlier were the “Alice” novels, right?

Did you hear that Takion wrote a third volume after those two there?

Of course I heard!

I looked into a rumor about I heard about during the Alice Mania,

but in the end, I didn’t really find anything out.

Though I did always wonder what a third novel would’ve been like,

if Takion had written one.

I’ve imagined it and I’ve been looking forward to reading it.

I’ve even begun writing my own story about Alice.

You’re writing a story about Alice by yourself?

Well, no, it’s really not that big of a deal.

Besides, what did you mean when you said The Eternal Alice?

Do you mean that the book really does exist?!

It is said that when all the stories that we Alice Seekers have are assembled,

Takion’s last story will be complete.

If Takion’s and everyone’s stories...

I still don’t seem to understand!

Is that so?

You must’ve been able to enter the Wonderland Space because you care so much about Alice.

Otherwise, you never would’ve been able to enter.

Hey, why don’t you help me out?

Huh?

Don’t you also want to read The Eternal Alice?

Of course I want to read it, but why do I have to...

Besides, I don’t have any idea what to do!
