Apart from Dorothy and me, the scenery is perfectly white.

Crunchy air sticks to the skin, causing the hands to bite in the cold.

His exhaled breath was white, as if it had just been winter here.

Once again, I realize that magic is terrible.

Well, it's cute compared to the scorching hell we just had.

----It's been a long time since I did my best magic.

It would be much less powerful than the home's Ice Age, but it was strong enough to defeat Dr. Keith's Inferno.

That magic of Dr. Keith... Was it really his own ability, or was it like a side effect of Death Magic?

Eventually I couldn't hear from Dr. Keith's mouth.

Keith, who was in the middle of the room, froze his whole body and didn't move like a sculpture.

I think he's freezing to death.

No, it's already dead, so it's not pure death.

You might be right to say that the surgery has expired.

The expression of Dr. Keith, who had become ice pickled, felt as if he could smile slightly even though he was somehow astonished.

It's an emotional expression I've been trying to start with since I met Dr. Keith.

Now... I think Dr. Keith's pain is over.

Even Professor Keith, who was a teacher at this school, didn't want to do this.

I wish I could at least sleep peacefully.

"--Phew"

It's over...

I used magic unexpectedly, but it wouldn't be such a problem.

I'm glad Dorothy's asleep.

If you could see the moment of activation, you'd be in a lot of trouble.

At that time, there was a sneezing sound in the back.

Rumors are that.

"Kushun! My head hurts. It's cold!

Dorothy looks around with vague eyes, shrinking her body and trembling.

"Nh, why are you suddenly in the middle of winter? Where are you?! Keith...?"

Dorothy is confused by the remaining gaps.

Well, that's the opposite.

Dorothy tries to get up, but she slips on the ice at her feet and rushes her feet to the ground from her buttocks.

"Ouch! Oh, my God!

I don't think you're in the right mood.

I reach out to Dorothy.

"I hit you in the head. Are you okay? Back butt, too."

When Dorothy stares at you, don't say butt! Grab my hand.

"Absolutely...", your head?

Dorothy touches her forehead.

There is still a trace of blood that is not dry yet.

"--Ahh, Ahahah, that's all right. Besides, this is really..."

Looking around again, the leopard had a strange look on his face.

"What is this? What is going on here? I can't believe you..."

"It was a fierce fight."

That explains everything...

And then Dorothy's mouth stopped.

Looking at what lies ahead of you, nature and Dorothy's expression are filled with love.

Oh yeah... That's right. That's what makes this place so weird. "

Dorothy sees Dr. Keith in ice, and when she sees something, she gently pops on my shoulder twice.

"Well, it can't be helped. Only this time... Nobody's bad."

"Ah... I know."

Dorothy snapped.

"--I don't think you care."

Dorothy stares at Nianya and me.

This guy's still in his first days.

"Phew, what happened to the upper part? The number of beasts was huge, but..."

"Don't worry about it, either. Well, I was already fighting back then, and if I had called the Knights, I would have suppressed them."

"I see. Nevertheless, Dr. Keith's aim was that book.

Yes, that book.

Why did Master Keith...? No, the guy who manipulated Master Keith to infiltrate the school targeted the book.

I approach the pedestal. I tried to avoid it well, but the lower part is a little frozen.

I use my best efforts to peel the book off the pedestal, and after removing the remaining ice, I look at the cover again.

"Darkness and Abyss."

In a moment, an enormous amount of magic flows in at once, and when my eyes go around, I don't feel anything.

I'm directly hit by the magic stream and my senses are confused.

"Gu...?!

Do you still have such magic in your book?

Oh no... magic detection isn't working!

Then I hear Dorothy screaming.

"Gil, gil, gil, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gig, gil, gig, gig, gi Magic Reaction!!

"Ahh!?

Reacting quickly to Dorothy's voice, I twisted myself to cover myself with the book.

At that moment, two Daggers hit the book I had.

Defeating the shock, I'll let go of the book.

"Kh... What are you talking about?!

What was that...?!

Who the hell showed up...?!

When I saw the direction Dagger flew in, I suddenly lost track of what was going on.

There was just a black space floating in the air.

The black space that appeared in front of me contained an unusual amount of magic, but I didn't feel hostility from it.

"What is this?"

At that time, the voice of a woman can be heard in that black space.

"Hey, I didn't hear about this situation."

The next moment, a woman emerges from the space.

A young woman with white hair...

Did I just say I was in my 20s?

He is wearing something like a black dress and emitting some sort of lewd atmosphere.

When a woman picks up a book that is falling at her feet, she nods well.

I can't believe this guy was manipulating Dr. Keith.

"Are you a ghost sorcerer?"

The woman looks at me with Chira.

"What? Please don't leave me with that guy? Who are you? It's cold in here somehow."

Women tremble cold.

He is roaring with thin eyes while rubbing his arms with both hands.

"- Speaking of which, what about the Keith doll? Do you know who you are?

I refer to Keith in ice.

"Ah...", it's impossible to collect it. Can I just have a book? "

What is this? Why is there so much room?

Are you confident that we can fight back if we attack you?

No, more than that, where did this woman come from?

You've been here the whole time? --No, I didn't feel any signs or magic at all.

... have you metastasized from that space...?

Metastatic magic? Are you kidding me?

And when I'm going through this and thinking, the woman says "ah" and stares at my face seriously.

"--Wait a minute, you... hey, I see. He's right."

A woman smiles.

What is it?

"What about him? I'm not saying anything I don't know."

"You don't have to know, maybe you'll find out anyway..." Okay, I'll do it. It's a little too cold here. "

The woman tries to return to the black space, trembling her body.

Oh no, you can't take a book with you!

At least you know something about Dr. Keith.

--I mean, I can't let you escape!!

I reach out to a woman to grab her.

"You think I'll just give it back!

But I thought it had turned black in front of me for a moment, and my stretched hand cut through the sky.

It was definitely in range right now...!?

The woman who was supposed to have been a few meters away was moving from there another five meters away.

What happened? Why did he do that before?

"Gil!?

Dorothy looks at us with a stunned expression.

Oh, he's so far away too...

No, he didn't move. I was pushed back.

"Wait, wait, wait!

Bye ~

When a woman throws a kiss and waves her hand, she disappears into the black space.

When the black space rotated with great momentum as if it were a vortex, it shrank and quickly disappeared.

We couldn't do anything, we couldn't understand, and the book was scratched from the side by a woman we didn't know.
