Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

The ruin attack is over, and we are back on the ground from the ruin magic formation.

The sky pattern is finally a full-scale crying surface, and it can't be the maiden's modus operandi to forcibly break through to the city.

I definitely don't want to humiliate Ilaria in the city because I can't separate my underwear into wet rats.

... Well, of course I do.

I'm also tired of raining in monstrous ruins.

I look around to see if there's anything, and I spot a place I've chosen on a rocky wall that stands nearby.

Not as deep as a cave, but deep enough for a rainy dwelling.

First we evacuated there, we breathed.

"Hurry up, Mr. Cyra?

"No, I'm fine. Slowly wait for the rain to rise."

So I decided to do so.

I've done my job, so there's no need to panic.

Both Ilia and Cyra took an apprenticeship and became alone.

Congratulations.

Name: Alice

Race: Half Elf

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Occupation: Wizard

LV: 6

It's all about fighting here, but still LV6.

But, well, this may be a terrible speed for some to think about.

The upper limit is 15 anyway.

No, but... Till's occupation, Sage, was it?

Senior position, I guess.

Then again, I feel like LV1 in class up.

It's nothing to worry about right now.

Attack Magic: Thunder (Master) No Chant Cool Time 5 Seconds

Attack Magic: Lightning (Proficiency 2) No Chant Cool Time 20 Seconds

Assisted Magic: Cool Time Without Heel Chant 20 Seconds

Assisted Magic: No Light Enchant Chant Cool Time 10 Seconds

Skill: Shortened chanting (special)

Weapon: None (Missing Thunder Rod)

Protective Equipment: Skin robe modification (high quality) (Name: Adele)

Ornament: Silv Fairiah

This will be my current bill.

There is no intermediate magic chant, and I feel the effect of shortening the chant (special) is amazing.

And it can be seen that assisted magic is not proficient.

Because I, how many heels have I ever used?

After all, for me the heel is quite a strain, more draining than shooting intermediate magic lightning.

Besides, depending on the wound, it's enough for this one to fall.

Still, it must be magic.

And one more thing, Enchant.

Till already showed me this, so I know what it's like.

I guess it adds the light grant, or lightning attribute, to the weapon.

"Dear Alice, isn't it cold?

Speaking of which, I'm a little chilly.

Sometimes it just got a little wet in the rain.

"Not as much as I care"

"Really? But it's hard to catch a cold."

And Ilaria leans against me.

Warm.

Warm, but what is it?

"Wow..."

Cyra opened her eyes and she was turning red.

No, well, yeah.

This dilemma of being healthy in me but unsound from the side.

"And yet Mr. Alice's magic is amazing. Any demon is a blow. And it's a beautiful color."

I don't know, Ilia and I wouldn't be so aware of each other, but I can't wait to have a third party.

Shall I weigh myself in, Ilaria?

I think so, but well, I'm going to make you like it.

... I dare not say why.

Or...

"Color? Aren't all magic colors the same?

"No, Master Alice. Magic colors are individualistic, and people are different."

Were you?

I only saw my magic for granted, so I thought this was normal.

Speaking of which, I was too desperate to forget, but I feel like the ice magic used by the bandits and Till's magic colors were different.

I don't remember the bandit's anymore, but Till's magic is a deep deep pale.

"Mr. Alice's thunder, silver and very pretty. It's a color I've never heard of."

"Really?

No, I also imagined yellow or blue when it came to thunder.

So, that?

Silver?

And I didn't even think about it.

"More than that, you must be Mr. Cyra now, right? Congratulations, now you're a sunny blacksmith."

"Ha, ha, I'm glad. Now you can brand yourself. Embarrassing..."

I'm shy.

So Cyra starts staring at me with her eyes open.

Hey, what's up?

"So, right, Mr. Alice? We were talking about this before we went into the ruins."

"-? Both of you, excuse me. Can't you hear anything?

Even as Ilia apologizes, she cuts the conversation.

They tell me, me and Cyra both clear their ears.

What you hear is a growing rain noise.

Honestly, I can't hear anything else.

But Ilia was seriously clear of her ears.

What...?

"This... landslide!!

"Huh!?

If you ask me, it sounds a little groundy...

No, not good!

If I stay here, I'll be trapped!?

"We have to get out!

"If it comes out now, it's dangerous the other way around! Dear Alice!"

Right, dirt sand direct hit!?

"Huh!"

As Ilia said, dirt and sand soon descend from overhead.

The ground sounds awesome too.

chills that this shallow cave will also collapse.

I'm so shocked that I can't stand.

Ear crunching earth avalanche.

I realize that roaring is the only thing that gives people a root fear.

The dirt and sand flow through the slopes like slippery, so at least you're lucky not to come into this cave side.

But that's also what I thought was lucky, until my vision was completely blocked in the dark.

How long has it been since the three of us lurked our breaths?

Finally, I can't hear the ground.

On the contrary, this time it turned, like a world where the sound of rain was even far away, deafening.

... How deep the hell was it buried?

The hit is one side, dark.

The heart strikes an early bell.

I exhaled as quietly and as little as I could.

"... both of you, safe?

"Yes, Master Alice"

"It's okay..."

For one thing, I'm relieved.

I thought it was okay because I felt signs right next to me, but I still feel relieved to hear my voice.

But are you burying him alive...?

"This... digging poorly, dirt and sand falls from the top?

"Perhaps. Because it's soil loosened by rain."

"We... can't get out, can we?

I can't answer right away.

I don't get a sense of reality.

Not a demon, not a human being... killed naturally?

No, certainly before the fierceness of nature, demons and people, could be dust and mustard.

Still...

"... to give up, it's too soon. There may be as little dirt and sand up there as possible. Let's dig in there carefully."

That's what I said. I pointed upstairs.

"Dear Alice... I don't know up or down"

"Yes…"

Oh, well.

Can't you see everybody?

Even in this darkness, I can secure my sight. What are my eyes?

Do you even store light in your eyes?

"Both of you, hold my hand? I'll take you to where I think you are."

"Dear Alice..."

"Mr. Alice......"

Don't be nervous, me.

Be cool.

Calm down.

Don't panic.

Don't encourage me here, what heart.

"It's okay, you don't have to give up. We might be able to get out a little bit."

On behalf of the two invisible people, grab two hands from me.

I won't give up.

"Isn't that right? Ilia."

I just said it out loud.

"... hehe, you can't let that Alice tell you not to get excited"

It makes me laugh when I see Cyra leaning her neck strangely.

Come on, let's do it.

Where this is nothing, die nothing.

"Ha, ha."

The task of the three of us carefully digging through the dirt and sand was extremely difficult.

There was no reason for scoops on the tools in my hand, so I was digging ahead with a cane pattern.

Ilia decided it was dangerous to use the spear, put it in the back and dig ahead with her own hands.

If you don't see him later, he might be covered in blood.

Later...

Cyra had a stick of wood, so she's digging through the dirt with it, just like me.

By the way, this wooden stick is a clean Cyra weapon.

It hurts when I get slapped.

It won't work for Ilaria though.

"... I can't do this anymore..."

A while after I started mowing.

Cyra was the first to giveup.

"Sorry, sorry... sorry..."

"Ha, ha, it's okay. Don't apologize? It's my job to escort Mr. Cyra, so rest a little."

Breathing with his shoulders, Cyra lowered back and lowered her hips so that she could drool.

It was a dangerous step, but I wonder if it was a unique account of the animals that managed to move around in the dark?

"Master Alice, please take a break. I'll take care of it."

I'm... are you still okay?

Don't put up a void, be cool now.

It's not a good time to fall down.

Ask yourself.

"... for a moment, I'll take a break. Ilaria, don't overdo it."

"Jesus, My, Lady"

I know I'll never make it, but I can't tell you to stop it.

Sorry, Ilia.

Now I want you to let me rely on it.

I decided to give Ilia the cane I was using and rest my body.

"I'm sorry...... come on...... soooo...!

"Mr. Cyra......? Are you okay!?"

I lowered back and lowered my hips next to Cyra and noticed the anomaly.

Is it strange how you exhale?

Too shallow, too fast.

Is this... hyperventilating!?

Oxygen!?

The space to look over is never huge.

But I still don't feel so breathless.

When you look at Ilaria, your breathing looks stable.

Well... out of psychological anxiety, you panicked...

I can't help it.

"Agu! Huh... Huh!

"It's okay, Mr. Cyra...... it's okay, calm down? Exhale slowly. Don't rush me?

Speak with a voice as calm and reassuring as possible.

Hold his hand and tell him it's okay.

I have heard that hyperventilation is a bad procedure that is counterproductive and dangerous.

He said it was more important to calm the patient down and reassure him.

"I'm not afraid of anything. Look, take a deep breath. Take your time, okay?"

Hold hands gently.

"-"

There is force in Cyra's hand, and the pain runs like a cat caught her.

My nails could be stabbing me.

"- Look, you're not scared, are you? You don't have to worry about anything. Slowly, breathe."

The power of my hand is slowing down.

Breathing has also calmed down a little.

It's okay, as long as you stay calm, it should heal soon.

"... oh... cha...?

"Huh?"

With an indefinite eye for perspective, Cyra looks at me.

There are traces of tears there.

I can see that clearly, even in the dark.

"Rest assured?

Considering the meaning of the whining I heard earlier, I gently put my face close to Cyra's ear and groaned.

"Leave the rest to -"

I whispered in a really small voice so that only Cyra could hear me.

――

As surprised as he was somewhere, Cyra stretched her body once before pulling herself out as relieved.

Just a little bit, keep looking.

Breathing is stable.

"Slept...?

Think of it, unfamiliar battles, trapped fears and it was already the limit.

I slowly let go of my still firmly gripped hand, feeling a little bitter.

"Well."

I don't want to be a liar.

Trapped, how long has it been?

I have no idea what it feels like.

It also seems like it's been one night.

Actually, I don't think so.

"Damn... hey, it's getting painful"

In this confined space, the three of us are trapped, and there won't be any oxygen for that long.

The habit work does not proceed as late.

Digging or digging, dirt and sand flow from above again.

I don't know if he's coming into the cave or if he's hissing.

"Ilia...... you can still do your best?

"Of course, ma'am."

It can't be okay.

I haven't even taken a break.

Though you owe me a stick of Cyra tree, what's going on with that hand you dug dirt with your bare hands for a long time?

I'm about to crush Ilia, who responds with a voice like nothing.

Even digging, maybe not.

I don't know how much dirt and sand is blocked the hell out of me, but if I don't do enough to blow this whole thing up, it's a good place to push my arm against the warm curtain.

But what do we do?

Speaking of magic, my thunderous magic can't do anything like 'blow it up'.

And the mass is too big.

I don't care if I say rebellious...

No, I just have to try.

"Hey!

Put your hands on the dirt sand, focus your magic on your right hand, and hoard.

Same rules as in the lake.

But...

"- Yikes!!

It's obvious if you take it for granted, it wasn't the dust that blew it up, it was me.

On the back wall, he was struck hard in the back.

I stop breathing.

"Dear Alice!

".................. hey, soba"

It worked...

Though not sturdy enough to repeat over and over again.

I just have to try and do what I can.

No, originally, I'll try something.

"Be a glimmer of light that rips heaven, and shoot my enemy! Thunder!"

Lightning the dust.

but it's still only 'shoot through' and I can't blow the dirt out of it.

Wall shooting at the site of my first experiment was never going to destroy the wall.

I knew...

Dropping her gaze, Cyra is still asleep.

But I'm sure he can't breathe.

We don't have time.

"… I will show you what I have taken, Master Alice"

"No need"

"Huh?"

Ilia gives me a distracted face when I answer immediately.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but isn't that going to kill Ilia?

――

"So it's not necessary. I'll cut through and show you. I won't give up -!"

Mass.

Yeah, because I don't have the mass, my magic can't blow things away.

Then we just have to replace it with something.

I see a gripping rod of thunder.

It's missing, and I can't work satisfactorily anymore.

But...... if this.

Sister, to save people, I'll use it.

"- Thunder Essence come, be a blade! Light Enchant!"

A rod of lightning with added attributes shines silver.

Chances are, for once, we don't even know what the ground is going to be like with this blow.

It could be completely buried alive.

It's just that the time is running out even as it is.

I don't want to regret not doing what I can do.

"I will blow the dust. Ilia, you hold me and Cyra as you defend yourself on that field at that moment"

"Yes, Master Alice"

Blow it up, don't let your hair in, and jump out of the cave before the dirt comes down again.

The magic of maximum output, continuous activation, and dexterity.

I can do it, no, I'll try.

I hold a rod of thunder with my left hand up.

"- O light blade of heaven, be my sword and tear the darkness."

The pentagram is spun.

Maximum output.

But it's not just shooting thunder.

Use the rod as a bullet and shoot it out.

To this end, an enchant was applied that created a repulsive force.

Pushed out by lightning, even breaking the speed of sound -

"Lightning!!

A blow that shot the rod out as a bullet into a silver runoff released from his left hand.

"Come on -!"

Intermediate magic, left hand activated.

They take power at once.

But the power is impeccable.

The flash blew dust and sand, and even pierced the rain clouds and disappeared into the sky.

I see a glimmer of light stabbing from between the clouds.

And - vibration.

Step on!!

"Here it is...... Ilia!

"Anytime, lady!

Ilia's turning her hand around my hip.

Cyra seems to be busy.

The vibrations get bigger and bigger.

I adjusted the magic trigger to create a rebellion at my feet.

"Fly away!!

Shortly before the dirt sand came down, I jumped out of the cave.

I was about to be crushed by an avalanche of soil and rock, but it was assumed there.

Protected by Ilia's field, we escaped into the sky through the dirt and sand on which we descended.

Clear sense of liberation.

"... what is it like"

"Dear Alice..."

The force of the arm that Ilia turned to her hips was made a little stronger.

"Mmm... it's painful, Ilia"

"Have patience, my lady"

What patience is that?

……

In the sky, I accidentally looked over the rock wall.

I was just trying to see how the landslide went.

The trees and rocks on the plateau stretching from above the rock walls have collapsed in total and are bare only in the landslide areas.

This is a natural phenomenon, so...?

It's just an illusion from fear.

I want to laugh it off.

- Still, I thought I saw a red-eyed woman on that platform, and I was just shaking my body a little.
