Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

――

Second, I turned around worried about the west sky.

A slight cedary sunset stings from a cloudy gap, tightening the chest without meaning.

Did the troops on the western border successfully accomplish their mission?

"... Dear Lord?

Suddenly he stopped the horse, so Fleuretti, who was putting him on to hold him, looked up strangely.

"Master Eclair? Can I help you?

Then the second squad deputy captain - Noah came over with a horse.

The wind blowing in the meadows rocks my hair and the horse hissing echoes in the earth.

Something came up and the faces of Squad 2 that Alice would keep.

"Oh, yeah. Nothing."

I broke up with Alice and the others, and a month passed.

Contrary to everyone who fights against the Republic of the West, the troops of the Eclairs are moving towards the east.

The mission is a mess in Sacramento.

Critical.

The soldiers borrowed for this purpose were Alice's 2nd Squad and Kranseska's 5,000 private soldiers.

No matter how many Sacramento squadrons are out there, too few troops.

So it's not like you're worried about someone else.

"Then let's hurry. Sacramento's main unit is out in the kingdom. We have no chance but to win while Her Highness endures."

"Well... we have to do our part."

Chest noise shakes his head and drives him away.

I'm lost.

I let the horse, who was stopping his leg, run east again.

Everyone will follow you, as you surround them.

"Rest assured, Master Eclair. We will never let Master Eclair die. Because you are special to your daughter."

I didn't mean to put it on your face, but did it bother you?

Even if...

"What are you talking about? Something special... normal, mundane!

Now, well... can I admit that Alice is more in love with Eclair?

Fleuretti's cheeks are swollen.

Do you still have a crush on Alice?

"Ahhh, more than that. Is the rendezvous with reinforcements good in the mountains up ahead?

"Definitely. Her Royal Highness has already fulfilled her request to the Kingdom of Ashtaka."

"Huh."

Klanceska, hey...

Thanks to Alice anyway, right?

When it comes to the kingdom of Ashitaka, it's a country where she's had a hard time alone.

... I don't know what you've been up to.

"Either way, you can't be here by the end of the day. In front of the woods ahead, I'm going to camp today. Tell everyone."

"Yes, sir."

On Noah's signal, a transmission runs to the military.

Not at all... even though I don't like the command of the army.

It is also a fact that morale to the soldier at the end of the spectrum is still different with his identity, his position, whatever he has to choose in his abilities regardless of that.

You have no idea that the princess's position in Sacramento would be useful in a place like this.

I'm just in charge of you now and in the past.

I don't know if it's the right material...

"Hmm... but Alice sent us all out to live, so we have to respond."

Try poking Fleuretti's swollen cheek.

It's funny how the air goes out.

That's right.

You're not going to die.

You know, the idiot dwarf who wanted to die...

◇ ■ ◇ ■ ◇

At the end of the day's scheduled journey, and ready for camp, the army was enjoying a moment's rest.

The role of illuminating the darkness shifts from the sun to the pine light, and the soldiers who prepare the meal hear the swinging light source in their dishes.

The troops are wrapped in relief freed from a moment of tension, and watching it makes this one horrible.

Only a little more, far to the battlefield.

I won't hold it without being nervous now.

"My lord, I brought fruit."

With tote-totty, childish strides, Letty came.

I'm going to give you one Linnal.

Apparently you've been troubling your cooking number, this troubled dragon.

"Thanks Letty. But you eat. You don't want to grow up, do you?

It's a mystery how long a dragon eats, but this kid eats a lot.

So does Ilia?

While I was saying it, the cucumber, and the lovely belly worm raised her voice.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

"... sorry"

"It's not that."

"Yeah...... thanks, I'll have it"

All right, well, it's an educational achievement.

One way or another, I stroke Letty's head, which is inward punitive.

Glad to narrow his eyes, Letty bumped into Linnal.

"Please, Lord Eclair, eat too. It's today's payment. I'm sorry I'm a poor minister."

Noah, who brought two soups, laughs, eats a lot, and distributes it to Letty as well.

He also put two pieces of bread on me.

"Thanks, Noah. I'll take it...?"

The moment they served the soup and I smelled it, the nausea crept up.

"... that?

... I can't stand it!

He thrust his soup back into the nearby bushes.

"Uh-huh! Oh...!

Hey, what...?

I didn't know you were so ill... but...?

As empty as I thought my stomach would be, I scattered puke in the bushes.

"- Ha, ha... sucks"

It seemed to make me worry, and Letty and Noah changed their blood phases and flew in.

"Lord!

"Dear Eclair! What are you talking about?

"... it's okay, 'cause it's a big deal. Because I just felt a little sick. Sleep and you'll be cured."

Ah, that's disgusting.

Give thanks to Noah for bringing water, and rinse your mouth.

"Are you sure you're all right, Master Eclair? I, a young man, am a medical magician. Simple checkups are possible."

"Oh, really?

"Yes, there are only a few people, including me, who work in health care in your daughter's hall, so I hope to increase them in the future."

"Thanks. I don't think it's a big deal... let me ask you a favor"

I can't believe you even had a kid who could use medical witchcraft, and Alice's mansion wouldn't be insulted.

You mean this kid is the deputy captain and medical magician of Squad 2?

Pretty scarce people, huh?

... Is it Ilaria to put a kid like this on Eclair?

Damn it, that kid's too busy to take care of you.

"My lord, are you ill? I'm getting too much magic...?

"No, don't lose it, Letty. It's easier than walking and walking."

This is not a strength, it's true.

That is why it is also strange that this ill health.

"You're in a responsible position, so maybe you're tired for that. Then I will see you in the tent. Magically see how your body is doing, so make yourself comfortable."

"Yeah, thanks"

There should have been no shortage of medical supplies... well, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal.

I just happened to smell food, and I felt a little nauseated.

If you let me rest early, you'll have no problem starting tomorrow.

◇ ■ ◇ ■ ◇

We arrived at the rendezvous point.

On both sides is a mountain that separates the border between Wilmington and Sacramento.

In between, a deep forest leads to the kingdom of Assitaca.

The plain of the forest exit is where it meets.

Solve the floating magic and go down to the ground.

Letty, who was holding him, also put his foot on the earth early after the fearful journey of the sky had ended.

He seems to be afraid of heights.

"Huh... you're tired of flying all the time"

From the campsite to the rendezvous point, it's an empty journey.

It consumed a lot of magic.

Now I'm tired enough to stand upside down and circle Alice's mansion.

"Lord... is there anything I can do?

"'Cause it's okay. Don't worry, it's not that bad."

You're cowardly and worried about this girl, Eclair.

Even though he's strong and aggressive in front of Alice.

It's not funny...

"Dear Eclair, good luck. Who's there to add or minus?

"Everyone... says it's okay. He's flying with caution."

In an instant, Noah and the others rushed in with horses.

The troops are marching without delay.

I can't ride a horse because I'm a little tired...

"Again, it would be better if you were prepared in the rear..."

"You can't come all this way and say that. What will the people of the kingdom do? Believe me, Sacramento will fall apart."

"But..."

"Life is on the line, we're all the same. Besides... even if you don't tell me, I think Eclair's the most important thing."

Just a little bit, I stroked my stomach.

I thought my stomach ached. Letty looked at it and stroked Eclair's stomach looking important.

Tickle.

"Look, they're arriving there, too. Not if you're asking questions."

There's already a formation out of the woods ahead.

"………… is, I understand"

I have no idea. Face.

As I clasped my shoulders, a messenger arrived quickly from the forces of the Kingdom of Assitaca.

He's a big man in a black sneak outfit, like I've seen somewhere.

"Lord, protect...!

"You can't bite me, Letty. Just stay back."

Damn, should I have left it with Lynn?

No matter how many dragon contracts you say you're under, you're a kid...

With such an exchange on my ass, a stumped big man came to me with a gratuity.

"I am in command of the Kingdom of Assitaca, called Jin. You're the commander."

I thought you were a messenger, Commander.

Extravagant things.

"That's right. I'm keeping Wilmington's army, Eclair Sacramento."

A man in black looked like a fool.

Do it.

"Anything?"

"The army of Wilmington... the real son of Sacramento?

"And I'm going to attack Sacramento. Isn't that funny?"

There was a wrinkle between the eyebrows of my face like I had seen somewhere before.

"It's ridiculous...... no, it's his wish, can you also nod how sudden it is"

That guy?

"Hmm?"

"Mm?"

A guard soldier came running in quicker than he could question.

"Excuse me! I just got word from the scouts that an interception unit has come forward from Sacramento! The number is roughly 20,000!

"... Yes, thank you. Stay alert."

"Ha."

You're not going to destroy each one, you're going to rendezvous and then you're going to slap him?

I don't know if it's a hassle to increase the number of marches...

"... you got licked"

"Seems so."

But there are places that make sense.

If it is a clash on a plain, a number of profitable wins as long as there is no excessive difference in power.

This is a little more than 10,000.

"... tell your soldiers that it is forbidden to die until you defeat two men by yourself."

"I don't suppose it's okay to knock down 10 people?

"Don't tell me. Samurai of the kingdom of Ashitaka, I hope."

Like Alice, I guess if I could just say no one dies...

You've got a blooming head that hasn't flowered that far.

"We pierce Jen with righteousness. I will return the favor I received. I owe you my country's survival."

……

I don't know what you've been messing with, Alice.

――――

"- Wait, there's magic... something coming!

Did the scouts miss it?

- No, you were faster than reporting!

When I looked at the sky on Sacramento, that black dot quickly flew right in front of me.

You're in a black flame.

"Eclair, it's been a while."

"Leonil......"

Brothers and sisters with the same scarlet hair as themselves.

Girl with silver hair, supported by Raimia, Leonil comes down from the sky.

I'm surprised... I can't believe you came over all of a sudden.

I thought you were in the kingdom on the orders of your uncle.

"What, you didn't even come to get it, Admiral?

"Ha, you were hit by Lord Alice before, right? But I'm not."

Everyone around us is in a state of war, including Letty, without alarm.

No matter how much Leonil and Raimia you say, it's too reckless.

Is that why it's worth listening to?

Look around and tell everyone around you not to attack all of a sudden.

If we do, we'll make sacrifices even if we don't lose... but I regret it.

"So, what's the requirement? You can't ask me not to attack you."

Then stop attacking first.

"No, Eclair. I want us to join this army - together, we want to defeat Sacramento."

My eyes dotted.

"Ahhhhhhhh!? Um, Superboy's, it was your uncle's, you!?

"Hey, watch your mouth, you devil-eyed cursed princess. I'll kill you."

"Insulting the Lord...... I will not tolerate"

Something was starting to go wrong next door.

"... what the hell kind of blow is that?"

"Yeah. Easy, 'cause I believe this is gonna save Sacramento."

A refreshing smile in vain...

They're popular with girls for a long time, but they don't like this guy.

"As always, is it for your country? Ma, I can believe it more than why I suck at it."

For Sacramento?

For Eclair, it's a country that doesn't boil down to what it feels like to be a homeland...

You're a place to protect for this guy.

"- Good though."

"Hey!"

"Dear Eclair!

I also know how Jin and Noah feel about wanting to raise their voices to gloat.

But, well, because I know this guy's not that despicable.

I don't think it's a trap or anything...... maybe it's sweet.

"That change, properly under Eclair! I need you to obey my orders, okay?

"I don't mind, I swear on this lycra"

I swear by heaven the demon sword of the sorcerer's slayer.

Well, the fact that there are more swordsmen who can put up Scion and Tyman is a good ingredient to be honest with.

You'll be fine if you pay attention to the danger.

It's a battle of moments now.

Wait, I'll get rid of this one right away and go help -!
