Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

I carried my aunt to bed and took a breather for now.

I couldn't carry it cool by myself, so Ilia helped me.

I checked earlier, but I'm going to check my breathing again.

"Yeah... it's okay, right"

I squeal like I tell myself.

"I think it's okay. It was wonderful magic, Master Alice."

"Ah... yes, thank you"

Ilia, it's normal.

Recognition like artificial respiration?

No, I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it is.

What the hell...?

"Ilia, what the hell was that... what?

"I'm sorry, Master Alice"

"No, I'm not angry, I don't know what to say, I felt better, thanks to you?

What a polite kid Ilia is, even though she's not yet my slave.

"It's, uh..."

With that emerald's eyes swimming, Ilia said.

I see, you can't sell information on your own, it's the same over there.

"Sorry, forget it. That was really helpful earlier. Thanks."

From where you helped me before that.

Or, Ilia, you're strong!

Aren't you stronger than me?

Well...... you can't lose in a long shot!

"No, I don't think so."

"It's tough."

Well, if we could buy Ilia, we'd be together longer, and we'd get used to it or not.

"But how did you know it was here?

"We were fighting alongside all the battle slaves in the Chamber of Commerce, so Alice ran right through the streets... because it stands out"

Ilia turns away from her face, spicy to say the least.

... Wait?

"... Could it be that a bandit who came in later came after me?

Knocked, and Ilia nodded awkwardly.

Whoa.

Did you sow the seeds yourself?

No, no, but from the results, I'm pretty sure there wasn't even a moment of respite.

"... ah"

Ilia's arm, I thought speaking of which, I still have cuts left.

No, think about it normally, take a swing of the simmer with your arm, a few cuts, what are you made of with that body?

Sturdy enough to say.

"Let me see it"

"Oh, no, such"

"Fine."

Take Ilia's arm forcefully and put your hand on the cut.

"- Heels."

This is not so much a worn out wound.

Exactly, it blocked right away.

In fact, you're frustrated and scared of infections and stuff.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"No, not enough, though."

In return.

But it's strange.

Keep taking Ilia's arm and rubbing it for a second.

Smooth skin.

It doesn't mean it's soft and muscular.

Or it's luxurious.

"Um..."

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was just wondering."

Release Ilia's arm with a troubled face.

Uh-huh.

What's the secret of Ilaria's Guardian 5?

Something catches me.

Human, isn't it?

"Hey."

"Oh, yes?

From across the door, a blackcrumb comes in that watches me see how it goes.

"Don't worry, the Chamber of Commerce combat slaves will follow you on the lookout for this house, there's no one behind the bandits"

"Huh?"

He told the other person that his face was intact.

What's in it for the Chamber of Commerce to protect this city?

"I'll take him instead. It seems that Beltran is struggling in a meadow outside the city."

Are you saying that one Ilia is more important than the other combat slaves?

Funny, then, isn't it too cheap to sell for that amount?

Anything?

"Are there still so many bandits out there?

"No, you can say the bandits were swept out of the city. I went around town with the Chamber of Commerce and the vigilantes to make sure."

So, what do you think you're struggling with?

As usual, he made his sharp eyes extra steep, and Blackcrunch squeezed out his voice.

- It's a dragon.

When I went out onto the boulevard, I could feel its body and growl even though I didn't like it.

Near the meadow where I was first attacked by a puppy, it reigned in grandeur.

"Shit, it's so close already"

As Blacksucker put it, I didn't feel a growl or this horrible ground until earlier.

No, didn't they even exist in the first place?

Suddenly he showed up?

But now, as a reality, there is a fantasy creature that emits an overwhelming presence.

Though I didn't expect to see you so soon in the fantasy world.

It's pretty much what I've been through, but this is, like, too far apart.

I can't keep up with the fact that such a large creature exists on earth.

Maybe it would have been different if the dinosaurs had lived, but the size I've seen is about the largest elephant I've ever seen in a zoo.

Isn't proximity funny, even though there's still distance?

It's so powerful that the house is moving...

"The people of the city, my aunt needs to be evacuated too!

"- That's good if whoever needs to do it does it"

A voice comes down from the sky.

It was Till who jumped beside me.

Really too special a way to travel, don't be surprised, this kid...

More than that!

"Till!"

I've got a pile to tell you, and I'm gonna look at you and tell you to shut up.

Ugh... I'm a little kid, but I can't resist something.

"Kissama! Elves!?

Look at Till, the blackcurdle creeps me out.

Speaking of which, Till won't even try to hide who he is.

Can you hide those cute pointy ears, too, if you want to hide them?

Put your hair down.

Well, twin-tailed cute though.

Isn't that what you found out about Till?

Still, I'm not ear-pointed, but it doesn't matter, I'll touch my own ear.

"It's annoying, it's black. As bad as it is now, are you understanding? Before you bark, I'll give you an evacuation order."

As he crouched his jaw, Till drew the dragon's attention.

I don't think so, either.

"Hey, Alice, you said it! Let me talk to you later!

"Uh."

I knew you earlier, too.

When we talk about it, it won't be a busy thing...

Blackcrumb had captured a man from the Chamber of Commerce who was nearby and told him to evacuate as much as he could.

I know it's really better to stay at rest, but my aunt asked me to come with her so she could evacuate me.

Look at that stuff, you shouldn't stay here.

At the end of one street of instructions, come on. When everyone thought what to do with dragons.

"- Oh, hey, you want to get together and talk? Can't you afford it much?

Suddenly, the voice was heard from a space of nothing.

"Metastatic magic? As always, I do the same thing..."

"I don't admire bad things about past legacies. Hey, I'm a seeker of truth. I don't have any emotions."

A magic formation floats in a space a little further away from where we gather.

It resembles the magic formations we saw in the ruins of the woods.

From there the space was distorted - people came out.

"Long time no see, Aunt Ice and Snow"

"How dare you, it's something you could face from the Lord, Libra"

Till is the only one who responds as a matter of course, and neither me nor Ilia, not even the blackheads, are distracted and unable to move.

Brown skin with dripping red eyes.

The color of the hair is silver, rather than white.

Long, glossy hair that just doesn't look like gray hair.

It is loosely knitted in three pieces and brought together in one.

"So, how many souls did you use?

Cold air gushes from Till's body.

To its apparent anger, breathtaking.

"Well, wasn't it less than I thought? Because of my aunt. Thanks to you, dragons don't exist."

Unexpectedly, I see a dragon that sounds creepy ground.

Now, I guess the people at the Chamber of Commerce are still fighting for me, as Blackcurdle said, the dragons are rambling around in the meadows outside the city.

I honestly don't think there's anything I can do about that...

But there's nothing I can do about it... this guy?

"It was still shame, the failure of the concubine who brought your Lord to life"

"Haha, no, it's a huge success! Thanks to my aunt, the truth about this world keeps getting unraveled!

"Lord... what are you looking for? Why did you extend your legs to such a periphery?

"Are you listening to me? Haha, I was nagging to talk to someone too. It's the best entertainment you can ask a person who understands!

An anomaly that keeps you laughing, even if it is filled with Till's cold anger, unintentionally.

I have chills.

"Yes, I did observe! Just around here, I've been doing" peculiarities "lately!

"Singularities, then?

Recently...

Near here, so...?

"It's been around for a long time, hasn't it? Sometimes people disappear in hiding or, conversely, special people suddenly appear? That's how I figured it out. Don't you think it's laziness as a wise man to end it with mystery, Auntie? You'd think!

I got chills.

"For that reason, he led the way, gathered his soul, summoned the dragon, and caused the land to spin, you know?

I don't want to think about it.

I don't want to think of anything.

"Yeah, is that what's gonna happen? Wherever you go, you have more stock of soul, you still don't know how to find the singularities, and then you just have to repeat the triad error as usual?

- You scumbag.

"Oops! Haha! As much as I deal directly with my aunt, I'm not overconfident in myself. See you later!"

The moment Till put his hands together, Libra, the woman called, opened the magic formation and jumped in.

"I was happy, I was happy, Auntie. Glad to see you, you're still cute. Then enjoy the dragon fully! It's the soul offered by this city because of it! Even though it can't be done, it's specially made that I summoned where the singularities opened up!

Till lowered his hand to the fading shadow.

- But there are people who went in the other way.

"You, are you? Awwwwww!!

Blackcrumb growls and jumps at the disappearing woman.

But it was just a vain attack to cut the sky.

Till got his hands on it.

That's not what I knew.

"Salt, …"

His back, trembling in anger, looks smaller than usual.

"... the Lord's way is not acceptable. This is the absolute truth of the concubine."

Till, somewhere sadly crushed, looked up at the dragon immediately.

"All right, stop that one. Thanks to your cooperation, Alice."

"... of course. I'll stop and show you, that... I have to stop."

So much as a nail eats in, I hold my hand and answer.

…… Well, good. The black one over there and the little dragon girl, your lord will help you too. "

"-!"

Until now, Ilia, who had extinguished her presence so that she could hide from Till for some reason, trembled.

"Dragon...?

Really, guys, how much of a situation is there?

To Mr. Salt, who trembles in anger.

A frightening Ilia.

Sounds sad Till.

Perhaps with distress for each of us, we will nevertheless work together to stop the dragon.

I don't care what's inside...
