Like a street rain. It was moving. It's like spraying weird rain out of a veil called the Tree Sea, like broiling it out.

Something in the shape of a black snake covered heaven with a black shadow behind the fog.

Creepy sound and rain that scratches the magic in your body.

Loki was indulging in the suffering of Alice.

Loki had repeated rough breaths over Alice's chest even after her surroundings were back and her early morning cold air was back.

They were enjoying the magic of not being crushed - it just passed overhead, too.

Loki's body swings up and down as she rests on it because Alice's body is bigger.

He had severe palpitations that even made him blind, as if he had been grabbed directly by his heart and shaken.

Loki's body also rocks in tandem as Alice's chest moves. Loki, lying face around her chest, finally opened her mouth weakly about it.

"Are you okay, Mr. Alice?"

"Ha, ha... yeah, I can handle it"

Alice's breathing, which manufactures an infinite amount of white breath, was not so busy that she was hesitant to speak out either.

After that black shadow left, I felt the morning sun cleared up the fog a little bit, and even the creek's spirals came to my ears. Still, getting up soon would take time, even just breathing.

It wasn't until nearly enough time had passed since the two of them regained their peace. We were first to turn back to the cave we were using as a resting place.

Unfortunately, he whipped his heavily felt body and set himself up. I can feel the rush on Loki because this outside world is clearly not normal.

A place far different from the outside world experienced many times in Alpha.

Loki immediately felt the need to rendezvous with the Ars and the others due to the sense of crisis that the experience she had built up did not work.

Initially, while I thought it was safe here, I'm even beginning to think that even the idea might actually be a mistake.

Above all...

- That outweighs previous demons.

Very difficult to say in words. It's not a threat from a simple amount of magic, I can actually see it and understand it now that I've carved it into myself.

Yes, that demon, even if it is a demon, is a little heterogeneous, unlike the natural enemies of a disastrous mankind.

Otherwise one finished shape. Something transcendent as an organism… not alien, but as an organism.

Therefore, as before, there is something different about putting it in bulk with demons.

Loki held her left arm from the top of her robe with that in mind. There is still no pain. There was no obstacle to moving it either.

But there's definitely something left there to tell you that something happened.

"I'm ready for this one, Loki."

"Yes, I could sort this one out. I'll take Al's stuff."

"Are you okay? What if I do?

"No, it's not heavy, and we can ensure mobility, so it's okay."

Alice looks anxiously at Loki, who tells her clearly. She cared not because it was heavy or anything, but because she cared about its left arm.

There was that one thing that washed Loki's bloody arm off once when she returned.

There were definitely shallow and fine scratches there. But that wound alone can't be enough to dye her arms, nor can it shed a lot of blood. But now Loki's arm was covered with a scab-like mass of blood.

Nevertheless, that is not the problem.

As he was washing away, it appeared clearly on the skin of his slender arm.

It doesn't look very nice on white and fine skin at all, it looks black.

Loki's expression when she saw it was as strange as she rationalized a series of events at the same time as she was stunned. I felt like she must have been able to predict what it was.

but Alice had been so stopped asking Loki not to tell anyone about it. Alice didn't want to snort first, but she's worried. Because the pattern was like a certain letter.

If you're a magician, you'll see. Yes, the shape was reminiscent of some [lost characters (Lost Spelling)].

The two then ascended the creek upstream, and on the road Loki proceeded to walk, carefully exercising the magic of detection.

I had originally concluded in Ars and Loki that there would be no demons around this creek, but still her footing was something I had to say was cautious.

If you want to run, the scaffolding is somewhat unstable but shouldn't be a problem. Alice had recovered by then. Even though it scratches the magic in your body, that's because it touched the rain. Now I think of it. It's close to feeling like I've had a condensed short-term cold. When it comes to more than that, the truth is that I don't remember much. I just suffer, and the power to try to resist there is not so much conscious as instinctively close, and I even feel like there is no art to resist.

And Alice sighed small as she walked behind Loki.

It was also because he smelled sour. I haven't been able to wash my body since last night, and in addition to that, it happened earlier. My whole body was jittery like a dry laundry.

Maybe that's the same with Loki walking forward, but she doesn't seem to smell like that.

- Ugh - I don't know how wet it is anymore somewhere.

I felt like there was a constant entanglement of chilling air all over me. It is true that I even scratched an incredible sweat.

I was starting to regret that I couldn't say strongly that I wanted to flush my body at all.

Rivers flowing comfortably next door are also a resentful subject for Alice. Thank you to the extent that I don't care about the low water temperature now, but it is a blessing.

Truth be told, I seem to appreciate it, but I'm somewhat sorry for the circumstances that don't allow it or myself.

When I checked my condition, I also asked Loki to wash her arms beautifully again and not wash her body away at last, but at least since I found Ars and the others, I was sinking in response.

The voice sounded to Alice as if she hated being seen in her arms again.

Soon Alice was moving next to Loki.

It doesn't make sense to say this, but there are still things that have happened earlier and there are endless questions.

"What was that rain? Have you seen Loki? The ground wasn't wet."

"I can't explain it in detail to you either, but I'm pretty sure it's not a natural phenomenon. Very rarely in the outside world will there be strange rain called weird rain. Much of it is said to be the action of demonic magic, or the effect of vast magic remnants. But this time, it's probably the work of that demon."

"Um?"

Alice, who instantly listened back, had no idea who the demon Loki showed. That should be it, too, and there can't be room for Alice like that under that circumstance.

"I'll say it again when I rendezvous with Al, but there was definitely a demon nearby. It's also my fault, but honestly, if they'd found me, they'd be dead."

"But I couldn't find it"

Alice smiles a small smile at Loki and says without incident.

"It's not anyone's fault or anything, I'm ready for that. I was surprised."

Even if she tried to be healthy, Alice could have guessed at what level the oppression of magic by third parties was. I don't even have to compare the B-rate I fought yesterday, even if I just figured it out, Loki's dialogue is just a fact.

A vast stream of magic Alice experienced for the first time. Perhaps that was what made you feel like you could kill mankind. The quality and quantity of magic you feel within the survival zone you lived in is different. More to the point, it must have been so much that people could never reach it.

Exactly the difference in vessels as organisms. It's like the difference between a weapon you can hold. If we feel that magic, we can make them understand that the magic we possess and the magic we assemble is like water cannons.

The gold spear on Alice's back also felt a little unreliable now. No, I guess that's common to everyone who goes to a place called the outside world, not just Alice. Alice also held something close to Loki's mood, which she oddly didn't dare speak of.

But Alice looked at the far and strangely clear blue sky. And he that is said to be the treasure of mankind, and he that reigneth at its apex.

Above all, the heart that was already about to give in was just thinking of his face, and he was starting to look forward as excited.

- Not yet, not enough. There's a long way to go, but my mind, my experience, everything's missing, but...

Still, you can't give up. Because it didn't completely break Alice's heart. Maybe the training that reminded me of that death made her tolerant.

Next to Alice was Loki, who was having trouble responding with a musty face. She opened her mouth because Alice suddenly overflowed with crunch and grin.

"It's funny how you said you were dying."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe it's the fruit of your training with Al, huh?

Even in my first experience, the feeling of crossing the dead line is still due to Ars' cold, merciless training until just before. Recovery of the mind is unexpectedly quick, more likely because its death was happening too unconsciously.

If you were probably alone, you couldn't even walk like this, and you must still be holding your knees in that cave.

"Perhaps neither I nor Al could think about this one. But..."

"That's the outside world, isn't it?

All right, wind, not, Alice took over the expected words instead.

Though wary of his surroundings, Loki only returned "That's what I'm talking about," as if he was somewhere spooked by Alice like that. Of course, that's not the only problem I can clean up.

Loki, who cut the words, stops abruptly and begins to concentrate his consciousness.

"-! I was there. It's further behind the rendezvous point in the event of a break-up."

It would be close to hitting the third of the places we had listed as candidates as a meeting point.

"Really!?

"Yes, I can't detect Mr. Tesfir's magic for a second, but if it's Al's, I can clearly tell"

The result of that detection makes Alice float the color of her anxiety.

"It's okay. Undetectable, because it is more unnatural to be releasing constant magic in the outside world. If you are just consciously holding back your magic, or sleeping, relative magic is something that can be contained unconsciously. Or have you passed out?"

"Stun!

"No, if so."

Either way, it includes if you're already dead. It's just not every bit that Ars or so of a magician is so clearly releasing magic.

Be early enough to make you feel rushed.

"Mr. Alice, let's hurry up a little bit because the distance is farther than expected. Sometimes I wonder."

"Yeah. I can run."

Along the creek the two ran cleverly on unstable scaffolding. Though both Loki and Alice have heart fatigue, they are physically recovering enough.

And whenever the distance narrowed, Loki repeated the detection in detail. At the same time, it has been confirmed that there are few demons around. However, the exact location of the alleged location of Ars could not be identified inside even if it came to the side.

Whatever it was, it was because there were so many stone falls and so many boulders scattered to hide people.

Narrow and dim. The scaffolding is laid irregularly with fragments hit by boulders, and if you turn it, you'll be able to scratch it like you cut it with glass.

By then sharp fragments were scattered.

And the place we finally reached, as the two of us continued to progress through the gap between the rocks like a maze, was the perfect cave for a safe house. It is a narrow but natural resting place.

The same robe as the two of us is hung at that entrance to outwind the wind.

Loki changed her complexion to something bright in a flash and put her hands on a robe with a good momentum.

"Al, what the hell happened last night -!!"

Lighting illuminated the interior because the robe had been removed, albeit dimly. And Loki was taken aback and made to lose her words.

Her eyes wide open poked an unexpected thing at her.

There were two men and women wrapped in one robe - Ars and Tesfir.

A red-haired girl who sleeps small, round her body and clings to Ars. Her shoulders were supposed to be wrapped in clothing that wasn't supposed to be exposed, but now her white, glossy skin reflected sunlight.

And naturally, Ars, sleeping next door, is certain to be upper half naked without having to check. Unhidden feet in the robe were inflating Loki's unpleasant imagination.

Without needing to look around, there are branches and protruding wall-mounted garments on this occasion that reveal the condition of the two sleeping people.

Ars' trousers, jackets, and all that stuff are now in a position away from his body. And I don't know if you intend to hide it well, but some of it would be underwear peeking from the inside of Tesfir's jacket.

In no time, Alice looks inside too.

And I said, "Is that it?" He raised his voice as though his thoughts had been short. Alice wasn't the only one who couldn't sort out the situation, Loki pampered her mouth and knelt more than Ning Lo Alice.

"Mm, what? It's morning already?" Just after Tesfir tried to get up with her eyes narrowed to the sunlight.

"Nah, no way, are you making kids!!!

Loki's sad cry echoed inside the narrow cave.
