Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

Is it sweet with me?

With that in mind, I'll take the bones of the roasted fish that came out at the inn breakfast.

I thought you might not be used to fish eaten with chopsticks, but Lynn usually uses chopsticks more than I thought.

I may have originally grown up in an area where I use chopsticks well.

"Yes, Lynn. If you had bones, you'd let them out without swallowing them, wouldn't you?

"Ugh."

I don't know yet. Lynn nodded well, observing my work of relaxing fish.

"Ha ha, Mr. Alice sounds like your mother!

"If Makina leaves carrots, she'll pay for them."

"Hideous!

It's not terrible.

Eat without leaving any food.

Machina, who was supposed to be attached to the escort, was groaning at the table like "eh" and staring at the carrot.

"Cuy cuy!"

"Ah, yes, yes. Wait a minute, I'll loosen up now."

He pulls my clothes sleeve with his mouth and tells me to feed the cucumber fast, too.

I don't care, but you're a fox with no wild shards, cu.

You think you can be like that nine-tailed guy?

Try the fish round your head.

"Yes."

I'll put the loose fish in the special cucumber I bought yesterday at the grocery store and put it at my feet.

"Cuh."

A gourmet cucumber burst into his head quickly.

That's not even going to let the animals lick the inn dishes.

"Totally your mother."

"That's right."

……

Let's think about it for a second.

Had I stayed with my original body, would I have behaved differently like I did now?

The answer is NO.

It's not like I'm being pulled by my body right now.

This is me, and it doesn't matter where the man or woman is.

"Good luck, Father."

"Ni? What is it, suddenly?

"No, I want to try sending ales to my family father in the world, never mind"

"Huh."

Next to Cyra the Wonder Face, Makina and Lynn were rubbing about the carrots on the plate.

"Come on, Lynn, let me give you my carrot. I think eating this will make you stronger."

"Yikes! You don't have to eat carrots to get better."

"I totally agree with that opinion, but I'm out of this carrot right now!

"It's Jibu's thing. It's just a tattoo!

"What, honestly...... I still hate carrots!

"I don't even need Lynn!"

... What are you doing to your child?

After checking out, I decided to head to Wang Du as soon as possible today.

Looks like Wang Du is further east from this city.

If I took the carriage, it would be a day's distance, but I was supposed to be on foot at Makina's suggestion.

There are cubes, and it's the ultimate legitimate opinion that riding carriages can be annoying.

I don't think it's the bottom line of wanting to get a long daily allowance.

Well, it was actually a suggestion to go with a horse, not a carriage... but all the humans here can't ride a horse!

"Is Makina from this country?

While walking the same mountain path. I'll casually talk to my neighbor Makina.

We're supposed to be together in the stream, but there are too many mysteries about this girl.

"That's right. But I've lived a journey since I traveled, so I guess I'm oblivious to the feeling that this country is my home."

... It's obvious, but it's a tough answer.

Cyra, Lynn and Cu are walking together before us like that.

It's some kind of smiling sight that Kew chased Lynn around kicking the pebble fine.

"I admire the sight, it kind of tightens my mind."

Machina narrowed her eyes with a smile that seemed complicated.

This girl... she's beautiful.

No, that doesn't matter at all right now.

"Um... do you have such sparkling memories of Makina?

"Sure. That's why I feel like I've been caught in the heart when I remember."

"It is."

Remembrance doesn't fade, because it's like a treasure.

Once upon a time, I cried in my child's heart wishing that happy time would last forever.

To a young habit, you know this isn't something that lasts a lifetime.

Maybe, too, Lynn.

"Me, I wanted to be someone who could protect the sight. I can protect someone's happiness, to such a strong person."

"Makina is strong enough to do that now, isn't she?"

"Ha, thanks. But there's no point in being strong right now. How come" then, "people are missing something?"

……

From Makina... I feel terrible regret.

Oh well, I thought Makina looked like someone.

But maybe that's pretty small and normal.

Guys, I have some regrets.

And Makina might be sad that it's big.

You perceived my unspeakable thoughts, and Makina smiled dull.

"Don't look like that, Mr. Alice. I never thought I was a pathetic person. As I was saying, even I have a warm memory. 'Cause that's why I can work hard."

"Really..."

Don't get your chest tightened, even if you say so with a lonely smile.

"Ha ha, then suggestions! Sleep with me today, Mr. Alice! Then I'll be happy!

"... Huh?

Is this that or the demand for feminine skinship?

Fine ~ is that the correct answer?

"Well, well - if anything, do you want to take a bath with me?

"Are you sure!? Yay!

"... that?

Did you dig the grave?

"Oh, come on!

"Yes, sir."

When Lynn, who enjoyed walking in the mountains, thought she had come by her side, she was expected to hold her.

It was harder for me to figure out what to do. I'd rather talk. Thank you.

I'll give you a hug at last.

... Huh, my trained skinny arm screams.

It won't last long, forgive me, Lynn.

"Also, Mr. Alice is too spoiled, Lynn is 5 years old too, isn't she? You don't have a hug ~"

"Makina, it's hard!

"Nothing's fine - duh"

These two are among the dog monkeys from this morning's carrot incident.

"Okay, Lynn? That hug is not a natural gift, if you don't protect it, the hug disappears."

"What is it?

"Yes, Mr. Alice's hug"

No, it's nothing. The hug won't go away.

Lynn will respond if she wants to.

"What am I supposed to do?

Lynn, you're really adorable.

He looks so cute sticking his neck out desperately...

"One thing, being strong enough to beat no one! Tomorrow we'll cross the ice and snow!

"Okay!

...... Gumball!

"One - having the strength of mind to face any ordeal! If I screw up, I'll end up there. But you're not a loser unless you screw it up!

"Lynn, I can't let it go!

I smile with Cyra in my eyes at the smile of the exchange between Makina and Lynn.

"One, eating without liking or disliking! I'm not leaving carrots, specifically!

"Mm-hmm! Machina wasn't even there!

"I'm fine. When you grow up, you can like it or not."

"Hikiko! Makina Kira!

"Hehe, that's all right."

I swell my cheeks with tears. It is a makina of ~ if I can bare it to Lynn.

"Don't."

"Aww!

Direct from my master, I slapped the chop into Makina's head.

Now Lynn is paying her respects.

I don't want you to do everything you can with a 5-year-old anymore.

Let's just let the two of them go.

"Cyra, are we going to get to the lodging by the end of the day?

"Yes, as far as the map shows, we're going to be there by evening."

For merchants and adventurers, some places have a little accommodation along the streets.

It is rarely found in the countryside, but this time it is because it is a street that connects the Wang capital.

If you plan your journey properly, you'll be able to travel so easily.

Well, Nojuku's fun, too, 'cause I'm tired.

"Phew!

Cu suddenly turned his hair upside down in one of our rows enjoying a soothing mountain walk for a while.

He stopped on the spot and roared to intimidate him.

"Cu?"

"- You're making a good mistake, that's a wild beast!

With an invincible grin, Makina stepped forward.

- Enemy!

Switch heads instantly.

Cut cliffs on the right hand side of our walking mountain streets.

A little grove on your left.

Is that your left hand?

The moment I turned to my left to make sure, I heard a creepy noise coming from the other side.

Stick a field of thunder around you.

but - it didn't extend to that.

"Oh? - Whoa!

Turning around, with an arm unconstitutionally stretched out by Makina - what an arrow he was grabbing!

Making a noise like a feather of a deafening bug, Makina snapped an arrow still trembling.

"It's okay, Mr. Cyra?

"Yes, sir! Thank you. Thank you."

Is the arrow aimed at Cyra?

With a neat glove like gloves that really covered only her hands, Makina grabbed the arrow without difficulty.

It seems more like a decoration than a weapon.

Still, the material looks like a first-class product.

There is no appearance of rubbing off the friction of the arrows.

"... makina, thanks! Cyra, behind me!

"Yes, sir."

Cyra has also gotten over the training ground many times with this.

Calm down.

"We'll do it from under the cliff. But the aim is accurate, but you're not as powerful as Ame. Amy's arrow would be flying in my arms."

"It doesn't necessarily mean you don't have as many archers as Ame"

"Right, it's important to put your imagination to work! Tomorrow's happiness doesn't always last!

"Machina!?

Makina told me to advise her, and she jumped out single.

I jumped in alone under a cliff on my right with no view of the situation.

Confidence?

Chronic mind?

Or a sense of duty to escort?

Sure, this one has a lot of people who can't fight and can't move, but that's why I can't believe I'm single...

"Mr. Alice."

Cyra takes out the gun and nods.

He said he was going to be okay for backup.

The enemy... is it just the cliff on your right?

"... I can't move, I'm sorry, I don't want Cyra, Lynn, or Cu to be in danger"

... Consolidate your protection!

"Lightning Field!"

Tighten the border of thunder and prepare for unintentional strikes.

Makina...... sorry.

"At a time like this, I regret my lack of power..."

"... Makina, you can't let it go, can you?

Lynn, still holding me, has been holding my clothes tight.

"It's okay, Machina would have crossed over with your sister, wouldn't she?

"... ugh"

But what do we do?

Leave Makina alone...

You want to widen the field to the max and get rid of places you can't grasp around here?

That would be a short-term battle because the magic runs out so fast...

Yeah, that's why you can abandon me!

"Please don't lick the ice and snow apprentice!

"Hang in there, it is!

"Whoa!

Full power!!

Widen the field wide to keep abreast of the war.

"Huh -?"

Grasp, stunned.

There was already a battle.

"There are six enemies, one party. You're not a thief, are you a country spy? Who did you need me for? You'd be Alice in fame... but you're not, are you?

Makina disabled all six who were under the cliff and brought them in to release five early and let only one tell the story.

It means there's no threat or anything where I freed about 5 people.

"Shut up won't make things any better, will you? You expect me to put my hand on it? I can't."

"... kill it"

"It's up to us to decide, so there's nothing for you to worry about."

Makina brought in a brunette, black eyed, ninja-like man in a black outfit.

The sharpness of your eyes is how accustomed you are to the training ground.

"... Makina, in front of Lynn, not really"

"Rikai. It's all right, Mr. Alice."

Makina sighed when she saw Lynn clinging to me with a frightened look.

"Well, you should thank your employer - Mr. Ginn"

A man in black was only upset for a moment.

And the next moment, I could pull that upset in like a lie.

I'm sure you're familiar with the place.

Still, I was surprised that Makina knew something.

"Hey, I know what's going on, actually. No use hiding it."

"Kill."

"I'm from the same city as the princess, right? Of course I know Mr. Jin."

"... kill it"

"It's a secret book, Mr. Jin."

... Isn't this black-coated guy called Jin pretty strong?

The atmosphere, the mental strength since captivity, is not that of the miscellaneous fish.

A six-man party with a guy like this, intact, in such a short time?

What the hell kind of fight was that?

Honestly, I wanted to see it.

Makina, who the hell are you?

I don't think this many handcrafted names can make you famous.

Even Till, Est, Maria, maybe Libra, have a name in every country.

Makina?

I'm pretty sure I don't know anything...

"I know what Mr. Jin is after. I was wondering when you'd set me up, but in a way, you've set me up somewhere easy to understand."

……

"I know it was a small hand-check to see what Mr. Alice was capable of, Dear Grief,"

……

Uh-huh.

You're so determined that it doesn't come to light.

Makina doesn't care about that at Makina.

Uh-huh.

Let me ask you something I care about over here.

"Hey, uh, you, Mr. Jin?

……

They're turning a sharp eye on my inquiry.

It is a sharp gaze as if it were a blade.

"You, I feel like someone..."

……

Stick around and shut up, man in black.

"Maybe you don't realize the name Salt?

……

No, I remember this awkward silence.

Later on, I saw it.

"That's right, Mr. Alice. 'Cause this guy, Mr. Salt's - he's your brother."

With the ease of talking about the weather, Makina exposed the fact.
