“Damn....its cold!”
After returning time back to its own, Light couldn’t help but feel cold.
Since in the end, all he wore was his summer school uniform which consisted of black pants and a white shirt.
Light decided to look behind and as his companions about what to do now.
But to his surprise, Cheshire wasn’t in sight.
He began looking to the other direction, where Alice’s limbless and headless body lies.
There, he found wolf doing something to her remains, but Light didn’t mind.
Since in the end, Wolf did ask for permission.
Although Light didn’t know what he was going to do with it, he couldn’t care less either because his long nemesis is dead now.
He felt very happy but with a faint loneliness.
That is, until he remembered that many have yet to face their own judgment.
Light raised his hand to his chin signaling his deep thoughts.
He began trying to recall where Cheshire went after he killed Alice, but to no avail.
He soon dropped his hand back to its place and called wolf asking for Cheshire’s location.
“Ahh~ if its about Cheshire-Chan, then she already left y’know~”
“Huh?”
I couldn’t help but utter that weird sound.
Since in the end, wasn’t this supposed to be their warmful reunion?
But what Light failed to notice, is that he has changed.
He no longer had the emotions of a human.
He couldn’t comprehend the reason why Cheshire left.
He couldn’t comprehend that his obsession with torturing those who played petty pranks on him were no longer human.
Indeed, he has started turning into something......something Inhuman.
“Master, do you want to see something interesting?”
“Sure?”
“<<Καλώ τα ιερά πνεύματα των νεκρών~”
While he was chanting, an earthquake occurred.
No, it should be more precise to say that the earth is trembling with Wolf’s incantation.
"~Ακέφαλη Νεκρός!>>"
After saying that, the limbless, headless body began moving.
The ashes bellow us also began moving toward the body.
A tornado made out of ashes appeared with the lifeless body at its center with a ~Woosh sounds.
Surprisingly, there were no winds despite the sounds its making.
The lack of wind was unnatural when seeing a tornado in front of you.
Light felt eerily restless at the unnatural event.
That's when the tornado suddenly stopped.
It did not blow away nor scatter, it just disappeared.
Its like it was never there to begin with, just an illusion that suddenly lost its effects.
And what came out of it was a headless figure wearing a white sweater.
The white sweater went bellow its knees. Indeed, what was standing there at the moment was the headless figure of Alice.
With all its limbs back together, holding her head between her hands was the figure of the person i tore apart from limb to limb and killed a few minutes ago.
The head in the hands of the headless Alice suddenly opened its mouth.
“W-why am i still alive?! shouldn’t i be dead after completing my mission!?”
a shiver ran through Light when he saw the bodiless head talking.
indeed, he has once saw it from a far when Cheshire has done it, but he never it was this disgusting when it happened right next to him.
Stolen story; please report.
Wolf, who saw Light’s disturbed face began laughing.
“H-hey Wolf! why is she alive?!?”
“A-ahahahahaha, W-well, in order to explain how time travel actually works, i-i”
he suddenly stopped and continued laughing.
this guy......
it took a few minutes for him to recover before continuing
“Truly Master, this is the first time i have seen you make that kind of face....so i couldn’t help but to laugh, so I’m sorry! either way, it’ll be a lot simpler to explain time travel with her around~”
“W-what do you mean?”
After Light asked that, Wolf signaled Alice to come closer.
Light took out his gun in preparation to shoot down Alice, Who returned her head to its own place while she
drew closer. but Wolf also signaled Light with a motion in order to not shot her.
Light lowered his gun unsatisfied.
with a fake cough in order to light the mood, Wolf continued “As you might know, Master, is that there are two ways to
time travel, right?”
“Yeah,
* Type A: You send your conscious along side your memories from the future to the past.
* Type B: You send your physical body to the past.”
after answering Wolf, he began explaining it in details with “Exactly! you’re quite knowledgeable, Master!! as you have said, Type A is the one you send you memories to your past self. this is the one method that people are recommended to do because it does not create any time paradox, since in the end, you are only giving out information. while in Type B, you send your physical body back to the past which would normally result in a paradox which would eliminate said universe.”
Light interrupted Wolf and said “In that case, shouldn’t you not be existing right now? heck, shouldn’t that go to everything here??”
“Muu~ i was just getting to that point!” said Wolf while pouting his checks and continued “That's why, the universe turned me into a guy!”
“huh? what does you being a guy has to do with anything??”
“Ugh....you already forgot? i’m...y’know...? Cheshire from the future, does it ring any bells?”
“I’m just joking. anyhow, go ahead.”
“As i was saying, for the sake of the universe not to go into oblivion just like that, it has a mechanism similar to that of auto correct. it’ll make small but significant changes to the person going to the past or the future, because two of the same existence can’t be in the same place at the same time, right? so that thingy changed my gender!”
“I.....i got it. now then, why does this thing have to do with any of this?”
“That's because~She’s also from the future!”

Author note:
With this, Act I of the fiction is over!
PS. those who actually cared to Translate the incantation should have realized that it means "Headless Undead" in this case, its Dullahan, thus the chapter's title.
PS.S. it feels like im milking the ending....right?
im sorry! but this has been within the plan all along, but i couldn't think of a new way to say "alice is from the future" except for that! *more like i was lazy*
