Alice's body suddenly stiffened.
Edwina's Consulting Gaze still rested on her. That gaze was not heavy; it could even be called gentle, but that did not stop Alice from becoming nervous at once.
What exactly was the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact she had swallowed...? Should she say it?
No, could she say it?
The existence of Uniqueness undoubtedly involved the secrets of Sequence 0. Like the Acting Method, it was a secret jointly hidden by all the major Churches.
...She could not say it, right?
Alice hesitated for only a moment before deciding to respect everyone's decision on such a matter:

Alice spoke firmly, but her gaze flickered uncertainly. Edwina frowned as she looked at Alice's expression and, after comparing it, realized it was exactly the look children wore after doing something bad.
So she absolutely could not ask the God of Knowledge and Wisdom such a question.
By comparison, Alice's claim that he had "inherited the Creator's authority of omniscience" did not attract Edwina's attention in the slightest.
