Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria
Wangdu Smeragi
It is an excellent day to travel, blessed with sunny weather even today.
Set aside the hard stuff for now and decide to enjoy it now.
This moment now will never come back.
"What is this?"
"It's a flower called Hymezion."
Probably.
I'll sneak up on Cyra.
Just twist your neck and you won't get any particular reaction back.
I don't know if it's correct or incorrect.
Himezion.
It is a populist white wildflower that can be seen anywhere in the original world.
Lin peeks intriguingly at the wildflowers that were blooming on the side of the road, and the cucumber is sniffing.
"What's this?"
Nodding at Lynn pointing to the yellow wildflowers near it.
"It's a wildflower king, a dandy lion. Keep your hands close and they'll bite you."
"Huh!?
"Cu!?
One and one to leave in a hurry.
It's so cute.
"Peace."
Makina is stretching her arms and yawning.
The journey from the waterfall cave to the king's capital is precisely peace itself.
This is the way to go east, isn't it?
I stroke Lynn and Cu's head hidden at my feet, and then I disrespectfully pick out the tampons.
The flowers are already blooming and wrapped in cotton wool.
When I breathed him gently, the cotton wool climbed straight into the wind and up to the sky.
"Wow! Wow!
"This is how flowers fly their seeds far away."
"So so!? What's gonna happen?
"The season is around again, and the seeds bloom new flowers."
"Are you going to bite!?
"Heh, heh! Yes!"
"Cha-ha."
"Cui!"
Chasing two people around who seem to run away for fun.
"Soothing."
"That's right."
That's how I enjoyed the journey on the road.
A true strong man is when he pulls out, he pulls out, that's what it is.
... I think Till is too sloppy.
At lunch he arrived without delay in the Wang capital, which is also his destination, as Makina pinched his break or mumbled tired Lynn.
There was a checkpoint on the public roads where we walked in, carriages, etc.
A lookout table was built beside the shed at the station, and it was noticed that the lookout table was dotted at intervals.
Probably keeping a lookout to surround the city.
There seems to be another difficulty unlike the castle kingdom of Arseid or the Principality of Wilmington, which is also a natural fortress using waterways.
- And.
"... I've noticed it from afar, but from afar, I don't care again"
The mountain stands like the back of the king's capital.
You're about to break a bone to climb the mountain.
I cannot forbid awe for the magnificence of the snow-covered mountain.
Nature, awesome.
"Take a rest at the inn today and climb early tomorrow"
You're in a hurry for something, aren't you, Makina?
Uh-huh, mountain.
Does that reduce the chances of you being in danger if you hurry?
"Oh?"
Paying the toll and going through the checkpoint, the face I saw ahead of me was waiting.
It's Mr. Jin, the brother of the blackheads.
"A little, hang out"
I don't like it.
◇ ■ ◇ ■ ◇
Smeragi, king's capital of the kingdom of Assitaca.
The buildings that come to my attention are just Japanese.
Roofs with tiles for wooden architecture and doorways for houses are used.
I also found a store with the goodwill of the dough.
From the seat of the roofed boxcarriage, Lynn just looks at it in a luxurious way.
Because Mr. Jin put us in a carriage and we're being taken to the castle without stopping by.
"Aren't you attacking me anymore?
"If you're on the bed, I'll attack you."
Asking vigilantly Mr. Jin sitting face to face, he lifted the edge of his mouth and responded with a laugh.
"... in front of the child"
I don't think he's that obnoxious black-crushed brother. Isn't that Frank?
I can't tell you which is better.
"If you're going to do something, until I'm tied up again."
Machina, sitting next to a relaxed carriage, breathed.
But, Makina, if they do something, I won't allow them to just tie me up.
But I don't know, since I've been like this, I'm sure it attracts a lot of interest to me to look at a man's muscles.
Am I going crazy?
"So, how the hell are we invited to the castle?
"It's the king's order, go and you'll see."
Wang?
"Are you meeting the king?
"Oh."
A king.
Sure, you said something about the rebellion.
Or you have trouble easily being called by a great man.
"... Speaking of which, I hear the rebellion is over and it's not long yet"
"Oh. But not for long, I'm sure it's over"
"Aren't you still busy with everything?
"I guess so."
Sounds like some other HR, you.
"Is your situation good?
"The orders above just take precedence."
"Do you belong to the organization?
"It's not easy, that's why"
"Maybe, Kingsguard?
"It's not that good"
You surprise me when I ask you a question.
It's all been teased though.
"Mr. Salt is fine."
"Oh, honey, you! I like that!
"Ho?
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
"Hmm? Lynn, don't you know about this guy?
Speaking of which.
"I don't know."
Not brothers and sisters?
Is that a delicate problem?
Let's not go into this place.
Plus, you look a little too old to compare to blackheads.
If Lynn left before she even noticed, is that what happened?
- That Lynn was suddenly lifted with her neck grabbed like a cat.
"Huh?"
Too distracted to act on anything aggressively, I was deadly.
The killer is not Mr. Jin.
"- What are you doing?
Even Mr. Jin was surprised by how surprised he was.
"... makina?
It was Makina sitting next to me who lifted Lynn off my lap.
"-Comarna."
I heard a darker voice, like it wasn't hers from Makina's throat.
"Kekkai, Ni, Tojikomoraleteja, Mendoh, Da"
"Say what...?
Suddenly Machina's obsidian eyes with an unusual atmosphere are torn lengthwise like reptiles.
These eyes are like...... snakes!!
"Hey!!
Mr. Jin moved.
The knife you pulled out of your waist - too short, is that a knife?
So I hang up on Makina.
Differences in the number of places or quick determination of the situation.
I - in an instantaneous judgment, paid off the knife with the thunderbolt's repulsion.
"Oh fool!!
I've lost my chance to argue makina, I'm going to bump that outrage.
"Kuk! Elfyo, Yokuyatta, Houbini, Unuha, Ikashiteyaro"
What is this sign... this...
"Makina? Makina!! Wake up!!
I don't think it's very sane.
"Makina......?
Lynn looks anxious, too, looking up at Makina.
... not the kind of kid who would do this!
"- Please let go of Mr. Lynn!!
On the opposite side of us with attention - Cyra, sitting at the far end, jumped on the makina.
"- Jamada, cine!
At the same time as the words, ice crystals emerged -!
No chanting!
Blizer!
"Ah!? Ugh!"
Blizer pierced Cyra's shoulder as she jumped in.
- I couldn't keep up with the situation, it's my fault!!
"Makina ahhh!!
"Hum, Morateiczo"
After the beating, listen to the circumstances.
That's the arrow tip I thought, Makina disappearing - with Lynn.
"Shit!
"Lynn!!
Reaching out, but not in time - like Kasumi, the two disappeared.
◇ ■ ◇ ■ ◇
"Does it hurt?
"I'm fine, thank you"
I rented a room in the castle I was guided to and had a futon laid for Cyra.
Luckily there are no scars on the heeled shoulders.
However, the pain should still be there.
"Mr. Lynn, I couldn't help you..."
"That's... it's my fault"
The timing was probably only when Mr. Jin first moved.
"... No, Mr. Alice is not wrong at all. I don't hang up on my people all of a sudden, that's Mr. Alice."
I mean it's still sweet... sure, I can't cut and kill Makina at that time.
Think about it after this result, but I still can't.
But that doesn't mean it's okay to risk Lynn...!
What do you mean!
Why is this happening!
I knew I should have turned back!?
"Please hold on, Mr. Alice!!
He gently grips the fist he was holding in his front seat on Cyra's pillow.
"Not yet, Mr. Lynn is fine! I don't have time to mess around here!
"That's... right"
Not if you're trapped in something like that now, like regret or self-reproach.
Lynn is alive, what do you do without believing it to the end!
Assuming that, where and how do we get there?
Now is the time to gather information as soon as possible.
- Excuse me.
It was then that a voice was heard from the hallway outside the chamber.
When I replied, a samurai and a thoughtful person pulled the knife, and a man in a beautiful kimono and Mr. Jin entered the room from behind.
"I'm sorry I'm curing you."
"Yes, no, it's okay."
"Oh, I don't mind. Will you leave me lying down? There's no harder work here."
The man sat awake in the duvet offered to the samurai to flow.
Mr. Jin sat straight on the tatami and refrained behind the person.
He looked strange at me with a rugged face, and the man bowed his head lightly.
"I'm sorry I got into this mess. First of all, I apologize for the accident in my country."
- Accident?
"Accident, is it?"
"Mm-hmm. I'm hearing the situation from this gin"
When he glanced at Jin, who refrained behind his back, Jin lowered his head gently.
Apparently, this guy is also the boss for Mr. Jin - the one up there.
I mean, he's bothering to get me to this place, but could this guy...
You noticed the intent from my expression, the man put his head on like it lit up.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. Non says Enisi, king of the kingdom of Ashtaka. I'm not used to titles yet."
As I say myself, it has a rough vibe for a mentor.
Surely your brother is gone because of the rebellion and he should still be replaced and the sun is shallow.
"Thank you for taking the time. I'm Alice. This is Cyra. I'm sorry I have to lie down."
I said, "I know what's going on. I don't care."
Mr. Enisi gently took control of Cyra, who managed to get up.
Sure, they're royal, but we're here called up.
You don't have to worry too much unless you lose your gratitude.
I nodded not to get up on Cyra either.
Now, let's get down to business.
Thank God, I snorted.
"As you may have heard from rumors until you got here, this year - precisely at this time, this country is in danger"
"... are you talking about the anger of the mountain?
"Uhm. It's not natural that volcanic eruptions, etc."
Volcanic eruptions would also be quite dangerous, but that's not the kind of natural crisis......
"That mountain, Mount Misogi, has a demon sealed."
"The demon?
"It is not in the hands of the ancient warcraft, of man after all. For generations it has been the duty of generations of kings in this country to seal it on a 1000 year basis"
That's no way...
"Phew, Lord Alice. Is the Lord listening to his face? How to seal it."
"Are you sure, as rumored?
"-Rip."
- Oh, my God.
Have you sacrificed 1,000 years to maintain the seal of the Warcraft?
It's a relief story... is that what you need to talk about now?
"Lord Alice, I'm not talking about sacrifice.
"Something with high magic, for example, is it? Are you trying to sacrifice me?
"No, it's not"
Wait, wait, wait.
The kingdom needed, a special human being - Makina told me that night!
"Witch!"
"Uhm... the sealed witch. That's the special clan the kingdom has needed."
But wait, wait, wait!
Sure, that clan...
- Yes, it's gone.
Libra............!
Oh, my God, I'm not going to say you should just keep sacrificing.
Still, Libra probably went for 'this' and got the clan......!
"My country was chopped up, too. Can you cross the blade with the unsealed warcraft and ready to die, or is there some way to re-seal it? My opinion was broken on the issue of the survival of the country, and I put the people in useless pain."
- Pin and I'm here.
Kingsguard of the country, is it right to say sneaky? That Mr. Jin, a sneak, attacked us.
Who were you trying to protect?
The destruction of a clan by Libra.
That libra - a black scumbag who was traveling the world with a strong grudge against the elves.
He was taken by blackheads - toddlers.
"Lynn, the sealed witch!
Mr. Enisi nodded bitterly.
"I knew Lord Lynn was the last survivor of the clan. Therefore, I also missed it when Salt took me out of the country. Non still thinks it's better to fight if you survive the sacrifice of such a young child."
"Naturally!!
No, the head of the country thinks, take the big one and cut off the little one.
It could be a natural loss account.
But my personal thoughts are, will you let Lynn die!
"Besides, the next sacrifice is no more where I have sacrificed my Lord Lynn. It's nothing more than pushing despair on the children, grandchildren and descendants of Non."
Take the present, take the future, civil unrest with its divided opinions?
"Was Makina a person on the side of the rebellion... to sacrifice Lynn!?
"I don't know... Nor do they know who the girl is."
I can't believe Makina came near us thinking about sacrificing Lynn.
Even now that we have the results, it doesn't seem that way.
If we were to, we would have had more opportunities.
If it's Makina's power, you could have slapped me down from the front and taken Lynn away.
"It's just that my uncle, Sigen, who led the rebellion, hasn't actually taken it away. There is nothing unthinkable about Sigen's hand."
"That uncle ordered you to let Makina grab Lynn and sacrifice her?
Tsujitsu may fit, but it doesn't stick.
If you stay with Makina at all, you'll know she's not like that.
Besides, that kid back then...
Remembering the snake's eyes, my spine froze.
"... Anyway, I get the story. Then Lynn is more likely to be taken by that mountain, isn't she?
"I can only assume so"
"Okay, that's enough if you tell me. Thank you."
Mr. Jin looks at me with a frightened eye when I almost get up.
"... I don't think so, but are you willing to climb Mount Misogi from now at sundown this day? You want to die?
"I can't tell you how long it's been, Lynn. I'll definitely help you."
If it's too late, I can't mourn enough.
"- Okay, let's go, too. You're the only one who's lost. You're the one who's gonna die."
"... directions, help me if you do"
"Well, if you drive your brother's mistress to a dead place, you'll see his face."
……
That's enough.
"Cyra, please take your time here, I'm sure Lynn will take you home"
"... Yes. It's always hard to just wait, because I believe it!
Gently stroke Cyra with tears on the edge of her eyes and rise.
"If the opponent belongs to Sigen's hand, it will be a battle to take back Lord Lin. Even if not, if the seal is lifted, the beginning of hell...... even here. Prepare for battle, move to evacuate the people. Pray for good luck."
"Yes."
Apparently, while we're hitting Cyra's nursing here, the pursuit unit that's taking Lin back is sending her out toward the mountain.
This King Enisi is also doing what he can in his position.
You're in a position where you might actually think you should sacrifice Lynn...
If it leaves its roots in the future, fight now, huh?
I think it's hard to say.
"... okay, Lord Alice? If there is anything that can be unsealed at the top, run away without a fight. It's not your opponent."
I've heard so much about it, and I'm not even dry enough to leave you alone.
"I'll do it as well as I can."
Like a knock, I'll do good.
The second disciple of Ice and Snow will unleash the ancient curse of this country, the end of his sister's disciple.
"... it's scarier than you think. Um, the serpent."
Either way, help Lynn.
That's all for now.
"Let's go"
"Oh."
With Mr. Jin, I jumped all the way from the hallway of the room to the mountains at once -
