Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

Scorching Forest

I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

No matter what I'm told, I don't have an answer.

It's just that my chest is upset.

If you believe in the news of insects, it's not the time to fall asleep.

It is the most important thing in the world now.

Immediately change from room clothes to gear.

It was an unpleasantly quiet night.

Get out of the house so as not to make any noise for the time being.

In addition to being covered in darkness, it was at night, and my vision was terrible.

It's not like I can move around in darkness with the eyes of an Elf.

If nothing happens, that's fine. In the meantime, I'll go around the village.

Walk carefully, keeping an eye on your feet.

If your eyes get used to it, you'll be able to move a little more freely.

I walk for a while, but there is no sign of a person in the drifting rock.

It's quiet.

The more painful your ears are, the quieter it is.

I don't even hear bugs.

... isn't that strange?

Not making any noise in a forest like this is, on the contrary, abnormal.

No natural sounds, abnormal.

It's still unnatural.

The heartbeat is getting faster again.

- Is that Alice?

Suddenly, my voice stiffened.

"Fuah... I'm... stunned." Sita? "

I stared at a girl who was standing like a ghost a little bit ahead.

I didn't notice it when I watched my feet.

No, on the contrary, Citra noticed it before I did.

Relieved as I walked up to her, Citra was completely outfitted and even had a cane.

"I'm surprised. You know how close I am at that distance, right?"

I didn't even see it.

"Fufu, I'm not looking at it with my eyes." The distinction between day and night? ".

That's quite a thing, isn't it?

Is that so?

"Yes, it is."

I see.

Citra, who doesn't have the distinction between day and night, tilts her neck.

For Citra, it was just sleeping hours at night.

"What's the matter with Citra?" At a time like this. "

Well, I was a little scared, so I was relieved to be in Citra.

The darkness is frightening.

This is human instinct.

"I could see something bad." No, I thought I could see it, so I checked. ”

I'm a worm, but I can't ignore this anymore if Citra looks at me like that.

Weren't you scared of that kid?

Isn't that courageous?

In that case, we need to call out to our people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in bed." In the future, it's important to restore your health. ”

If I get hit now, nothing will happen.

No sparing, definitely not.

Well, I couldn't bear to wake up Sylvie, who was sick.

It can't be helped, just in case.

(--Ilia, Ilia)

Only Ilia, who was connected by a path, could communicate remotely.

(Nh... lass...?)

I'm sorry about that in the middle of the night. Something is wrong. Wake up everyone. And I hope you won't wake Sylvie....)

(Ok. I will protect Master Sylvie.)

(Yeah, thanks, Ilia. If you can protect me, I'll be more at ease than anyone else.)

(It's an honor, miss. Good luck.)

Talking to Ilaria made my heart feel warm.

I'm glad Ilia thought so too.

We'll be here soon, so let's take a look around the village first, Citra.

"It's true, everyone is awake." How did you do that? "

My Ilia network is amazing, isn't it?

Well, now that I know that, Citra isn't a normal person either.

Well, it's just me and Ilaria.

"Interested--Mr. Alice"

Citra's voice changes.

Clear readiness to fight.

Citra gazes into the darkness as she rings her new wand.

I stood next to him, too.

I can't see anything, no, really.

Looking sideways at Citra, she clearly looked ahead and waited.

I'm counting on Citra for this.

Once again, staring at the darkness that Citra was looking at, a bean-like light blinked.

--- Avoid by reflection.

I was always thunderbolt by my body in a state of confrontation.

No matter what the surprise, it reacts at the speed of light.

Come on, if you think you can take the lead, you're wrong!

Suddenly it's noisy!

When I glanced back, the attack raised a firearm in the village.

Oh no, if you avoid it, you avoid it and you have a problem!

What an attack in the woods. If it burns, it's a big deal.

The last one?

This isn't the time for you to be on your side.

"Why do you involve unrelated people!"

Citra took a step in front of me.

“Whatever the reason for trampling on others, I won't admit it!”

I was ready to stand on the battlefield.

Not one step behind unidentified enemies.

You haven't crossed the battlefield with Date.

"Citra, don't step on it too bravely. Just calm down."

No matter how much I lost my mind, Citra would specialize in the recovery of the Holy Maiden.

Don't go out front.

"No, Alice-san, I'll take care of all the enemy attacks." So I'll leave the attack to you. ”

“How's it going?

Leaving me amazed, the battle moves.

There was another attack from the light.

I could not tell whether it was a physical or magical system, but if it was an attack, it made sense.

However, there was a role for tanks in the world like Ilia.

And Citra chose that role.

I came forward with that luxurious body that was smaller than mine.

- The light hit me directly.

"Haha..."

Citra's body, which seemed as light as a feather, danced in the air.

Blood danced from the body.

"What a nonsense!"

Blood came out.

Citra, who stepped on it, took control of me as I approached.

"...... this is how I fight"

When I noticed it, my surroundings, including mine, were gentle and glowing pale green.

Area heel!

"... I won't fall, I won't fall"

This kid is ridiculous!

The so-called healer tank!

Ilia doesn't have the defense she needs, but she's gonna recover from everything she hits!

If you can't even take your life, you'll recover infinitely!?

But it hurts!

Even just now, the blood was so strong.....

I'm confident I can break my heart with a single blow... I don't want to hurt you.

”Oh, Citra... it's harder to watch”

"Don't bother."

It seems that the heart of the outfield is broken more than the person himself.

How brave you are.

When this happens, I'm going to have to take out the enemy and finish them off.

It's not the time to be surprised by Yaga.

Citra's area heels were enough to illuminate the darkness.

I saw a black armor shield in front of me.

I need your help, Citra!

“I'll take care of it!”.

I stepped on my right foot.

The first speed of thunder. Top speed from scratch.

Your body is about to twist to a violent moment of inertia.

Giggle...! Eat your teeth!

The first shot will do!

I stepped into my pocket and put my hand on the black armor.

All power!

I'm not lost anymore.

If it were really you, I wouldn't be dyeing my hands on a murderer like this right now.

That's why the Black Armor (this) is different!

"-Lightning Impact!"

Purple lightning flashes.

Completely burns out the contents of the black armor.

Wandering, the black armor collapses.

My throat rattles.

I crouched down and put my hand on the helmet of the lying black armor.

When I took off my helmet gently, there was nothing there.

”What... po?”

There's nothing in there.

Living armor?

No, yesterday's enemy didn't feel that way.

Alice-san, I'm still coming!

I raised my face to Citra's voice.

I could see the black armor hanging around me in the village fire.

That's... how much? I can't count it.

Anyway, there are a lot of them.

Such black armor shone all at once.

"Hey--"

It's not an inevitable problem!

Citra came out in front of me again.

Citra's light body is ravaged by flashes of light like a sandback.

Stray bullets burn the village and set the forest on fire.

Even the rays towards the village were impossible for Citra, who tried to take them all by herself.

The light pierces through Citra's extended hand.

Ahhhhhh

"Ah, this bastard!!!"

If we shoot from this side, we'll have the same fire, we'll have to fight in close proximity!

"Keep up the good work..."

"-You 're overboard."

From the left and right of the Black Armored Shields, the two shadows pushed in with tremendous force instantly ravaged the scene.

One of the swordsmen, my sister Zion, cut off her armor like tofu.

No, it's amazing.....

The other knight, the coveted sister, Maria-san, took care of several pieces of armor at once with the magic of light on her sword.

I'm distracted by my friend's reliability... I'll take care of it.

Citra, are you okay?

The penetrated hand is healed with its own heel immediately.

On the contrary, the area heels surrounding the village heal everyone.

A complete light of salvation that is not even going to allow an accident to happen.

"It's okay... I have to put out the fire before that. No matter how much you heal... you'll be burned alive."

It's bursting.

I need to make sure I have a firearm and someone who needs help.....

Looking back, pink snow began to fall in the village.

My nostalgic memories flash back and my heart hurts.

(--Sorry, miss. Unable to stop Master Sylvie)

I see, I see.

The magic of the ice.

The only thing you can use at this party is my sick daughter.

(... yeah, well, I couldn't do it as a child)

can I praise you or get angry.....

It is the responsibility of the grown-ups who have created the circumstances in which this is unavoidable.

The fire in the village was put out in an instant.

However, the flames were rising vigorously from the depths of the forest.

Deep in the village, we're on our way.

I can't be honest with you.

It was a forest fire.

The forest itself ends even if the fire in the village is suppressed.

---ZUN, ZUN.

You can hear the trembling sounds of the ground from the core of your body from that direction.

Further into the village of the Elves is the home of Ilia.

I mean...

― ― Dragon

The black dragon that sucked in the darkness of the night was floating in the light of the burning flame.
