At noon, when Alice returned to the hut in the Enchanted Forest, she had been sitting by the fence outside the door for a while, carrying the small burden she had been carrying for several days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yo. ”

"Ah...... Hello. Alice, who was distracted, did not expect to meet an acquaintance at the door of her house, but she was shocked.

"Xiao Ai, I'm here to drink black tea. Yin Yuelin said with a grin.

"Welcome!"

If Mo Ming saw this scene, she would be surprised...... I actually made friends with this girl who had only one side, and something like that.

No, it's not. Maybe even this would have been calculated, if it was that guy.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Thinking so, Alice pushed open the door and invited the demon slayer girl Yin Yuelin, who was dressed in white and carrying a burden, into the house and sat down.

……

……

On the small round table by the window on the second floor of the small western-style building, there were two cups of black tea, and Alice looked out the window.

"So, let's continue to tell the story of the festival today?"

"Ahh

"What's wrong? We're only halfway through the story, right?"

"There's nothing fun to do, and it's full of painful memories. ”

Despite saying this, she didn't see the pain on Alice's face.

"But it's painful to tell only half of the story. ”

"Really?"

Nodding his head and nodding: "At least talk about the ending, right?"

"The end...... It's our team that won. The goblins were given food for two years, the Kusanagi Sword was returned to the organizers, and everyone who died was resurrected. ”

"Ahh

"Any complaints?"

"Alice is one less person, huh?"

“……”

"What about Mo Ming, since Alice survived to the end, Mo Ming must have died, right?"

“…… Well. ”

"How did that guy die?" At this moment, Yin Yuelin seemed to be extremely gossipy.

"That idiot......" Alice stirred the coffee.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"I wanted to stop the spread of that plague, and he did it......"

"That guy has that kind heart?"

"The condition for victory in the game is that only one person from the winning team can survive...... He said that one of the two of us had to survive to win the game, so we couldn't stay in the city together...... So, he wanted to guess with me, saying that the losing side stayed...... Then guess the punch and he lost. ”

“…… Deliberately?"

"I don't know, Mo Ming gave me a little scary and hysterical at that time," Alice rubbed her temples, "but after losing the guessing box, I felt that he calmed down." ”

"Is it because you didn't protect those two goblins?"

“…… I kind of get it......" Alice picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and sighed, "This person, with a self-righteous appearance, keeps saying selfish things, but in fact he doesn't blink an eye when he lies, he is very arrogant and a lolita in his heart, and he is also very shy, afraid that others will see these things." ”

"This ...... Is it a compliment?"

"Who knows, Sa. ”

A gust of wind said that the curtains were lifted, and the forest breeze at the beginning of autumn was blowing, and the long black hair of Yin Yuelin and Alice's blonde hair were slightly moved with the wind.

The two girls were refreshed.

"Now, Alice. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you like Mo Ming?" looked at Alice with big eyes without blinking.

“…… "Huh?

"Isn't it?"

“…… No, how could it be ...... "strange......

"Eh, hey, I always think Alice is lying~"

"It's impossible, I'm a witch, he's just an ordinary person...... "What's wrong......

"Is it just a matter of identity?"

"How is it possible, that guy has such a bad personality...... Ahh

Alice covered her mouth suddenly.

"What's wrong?" said Yuelin, startled.

Alice understands where the sense of disobedience comes from.

'Communicative phobia' – the crux of the problem that has always plagued me......

Without?

In the past, once I talked to Marisa about something like shame, my face turned red and my brain stopped.

But now......

Although I can feel my heart beating violently, I can still think normally?

Does this mean......

"I'm alright!" Alice stood up suddenly.

"Hey?...... All right...... What do you mean?" asked Zen Yuelin cautiously.

"In every sense. Perhaps it was psychological, but after overcoming some kind of obstacle, Alice suddenly felt refreshed.

I sat back in my seat.

……

……

"So, let's go on. Alice, who sat back in her seat, was in a good mood.

For a while, Yin Yuelin scratched his head.

Instead, Alice took another sip of coffee with a smile and spoke.

"So, where did you just go?"

"Uh......"

"Does Lin Chan like Mo Ming?"

"Eh?——" Yan Yuelin was stunned again.

"Huh?" Yuelin's surprised attitude also made Alice stunned, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yuelin couldn't help but be silent.

Although he lives outside the village, he has read a lot of books.

Could it be that Alice's current symptoms belong to the fact that the topic of discussion just stimulated her too much, causing the deep subconscious of the brain to judge and send out danger signals......

The body judged that continuing the topic was likely to cause her to short-circuit, and forcibly deleted or modified her memory.

"Is Rin-chan embarrassed to admit it?"

Alice, with a strange look on her face, asked.

She seemed to be ignoring a problem.

If she is shy about this topic, then who brought it up?

However, Yin Yuelin laughed.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed to admit," Gulping down the remaining black tea from the cup, Yin Yuelin took a deep breath and looked out the window, "I do like this guy named Mo Ming a little." ”

After a moment of silence, the forest wind blew into the room again, and Alice's feverish head calmed down a little.

“………… Eh?——"

It seemed that it was only then that Alice realized what kind of topic they were discussing.

His face instantly turned red, and his ears and neck also became red.

"That's, that'......"

"Don't be shy, that guy's words, isn't he very good at cooking, and he has a good temper, and ...... Pretty handsome, isn't it?"

"......," Alice was speechless.

"Don't worry, I won't rob you. ”

"......" Alice looked at Yin Yuelin.

"After all, I ......"

There was a knock on the door.

……

……

While talking, there was a knock on the door on the first floor.

"I'm going to open the door. ”

"Alice. Behind him, Yue Lin also stood up.

"Huh?" Alice stood and turned back, "Lin-chan, you don't have to come down, let's have tea here." ”

I don't think it's an acquaintance.,I just came back from the fog and rain magic shop in the morning.,It shouldn't be Marisa.。

If you want the rest of the idlers, you can just send them away.

"I love Alice. ”

Yan Yuelin said inexplicable things.

"Eh?!——" Alice was stunned, "that ......"

"I've had a lot of fun with Alice. ”

"I, I too......" Alice blushed again.

"I hope you don't forget me. ”

"How could it be ......?"

Alice was completely stunned by the strange words that came out of nowhere.

"So...... Let's go open the door?" said with a smile.

……

……

The moment she opened the door, Alice was still a little dizzy.

It's just that what came to her face was the fierce demonic aura and strong wind, which made her subconsciously cross her arms to resist that blow.

Alice was beaten three meters back, knocking the tables and chairs in the house into a piece.

"Who?" Alice stood up, looking out at the black patch.

"Alice Margot Royd?"

"It's me, who are you?" Alice's fingertips moved slightly, and the puppet array was immediately activated.

"That's right, Alice the Witch, hand over the Kusanagi Sword. The monster who had been wolf-headed said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the Kusanagi Sword isn't something you can have, witch, get acquainted—" The other humanoid youkai who couldn't see its true body was presumably much higher in rank than the previous one.

"It's funny," Alice moved her fingertips slightly, and Shanghai Penglai immediately flashed out, floating above the void, "When did even a cat and a dog threaten me Alice? ”

When staying in the Forest of Magic, it is inevitable that many youkai will come to test it.

The people who came to disturb Alice's life were all beaten up by her, and since then almost no youkai have dared to come near it.

However, now......

Unexpectedly, another fearless appearance appeared.

"One by one, you are leading the line to death...... Or will we be flattened by me together?"

Witch Alice exuded a slight murderous aura.

As she spoke, Alice walked outside the western-style building, and everywhere she passed, the monsters all gave in.

Of course, it's also because I don't want to disturb the Yuelin who is still resting and drinking tea inside.

But as soon as she walked out, Alice's heart sank.

Too much!

Unexpectedly, when he was chatting with Yan Yuelin drinking tea, such a large number of monsters quietly gathered outside the house.

The front and back of the house are not full of youkai.

Formed, unformed, humanoid, demon-faced......

Alice faintly saw several familiar faces, which seemed to be humanoid youkai who had also signed up for the festival.

I don't remember the name, but I guess they gathered so many monsters to provoke them.

Were they all attracted by the Kusanagi Sword......

"I didn't take the Kusanagi sword, but asked the village chief to return it to the organizer of the festival. "It's true.

"Hmph, you can deceive humans, but you can't deviate from us......"

"That's right, who in Gensokkyo doesn't want to be stronger except for the bunch of human waste who lives in the village?!

"I know you hid that thing in your house!"

"Hurry up and hand it over, and give you a whole corpse!"

"Otherwise, I'll eat the girl in your house!"

Alice stared at her, then sighed.

"I don't know how to lift. ”

Before the words fell, all the seven monsters closest to Alice were sent flying a few meters away, and one of them even smashed into the trunk of a nearby tree, breaking the entire branch.

It wasn't until the end of the attack that the monsters realized that only one puppet had attacked.

At the same time, six figures appeared around Alice, each holding a sword, shield and spear.

The dolls surrounded Alice, expressionless and murderous towards the monsters surrounding in all directions, making the demons chill.

"If you want to die, come along. ”

……

……

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Damn.

Alice wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and looked around at these trembling but refusing to retreat.

The youkai have always fought on their own, and without a powerful king coming out to take charge, it is almost impossible to fight to the death.

The only explanation is ...... They were so hungry for that artifact, the legendary Kusanagi sword.

Is that something you have to get even if you risk your life?

No kidding! How could there be something more valuable than life!

Alice gasped, watching out for a sneak attack that could come from all sides.

Suddenly, his gaze focused on these tiny particles fluttering in the air.

"I see...... Is this what you rely on......

Exorcism powder, a magic item that reduces magic affinity and mana transmission orientation, is usually used in alchemy.

Very valuable things, even in the big library of Patchouli there are not much, I didn't expect to be used by youkai against themselves.

These monsters...... I've learned all the vile tricks of human beings.

Alice couldn't help but sigh, at this time she would actually think of Mo Ming.

If that guy were going to play with himself, he would probably use this kind of thing too.

And it must be used in a righteous and bright light, without the slightest psychological barrier.

But......

"Look at me, I have to have a limit!"

Cursed Penglai Dolls!

As the Penglai humanoid languished and landed, several blood clusters suddenly emerged from the three monsters that attacked from behind.

The moment he was robbed of his vitality, he fell to the ground.

As the light spread, there was not a single creature standing within ten meters, except for Alice.

Only blood staining the ground red!

"It's over...... ......" Alice sighed.

"Naive witch!"

Once again, the youkai hidden in the jungle have attacked.

……

……

"It's so lively. ”

The youkai who was about to rush to kill suddenly heard the girl's voice behind him.

It exudes an aura of extreme danger!

"What......!" the monsters turned their heads sharply and pounced on the white-clothed girl who had appeared outside the door of the bungalow at some point.

The brilliance flashed.

The three youkai who pounced, their bodies were all broken into several pieces, the incisions were flat, and the broken limbs fell to the ground.

"Alice, take a break. ”

With only a small dagger in his hand, Yin Yuelin walked over slowly.

"It's a move that you can only use once in a lifetime, and it's my turn next. ”

"Lin Chan," Alice looked at Yin Yuelin who came over, although she was dressed in white, her body seemed to exude a faint black aura, revealing a powerful ...... and the breath of death, "you...... It's ......"

"It's a skill taught by a friend of my predecessor. ”

"The mystery of Boli is born with dreams. ”

As he spoke, Yue Yuelin's body suddenly rose from the ground and rushed towards the surrounding monsters.

……

……

Stumps and blood stained the forest red.

At the moment when it was confirmed that the monsters had been killed, the arm of the moon was deactivated, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"It's so strong...... It's worthy of that senior...... Hakurei shrine maiden's moves......"

However, it is a pity that the human body cannot use such a move and cannot withstand such explosive power.

In her eyes, ears, and mouth, a large amount of blood began to spill out, staining her white clothes.

Alice...... I can't see ......"

"It's okay...... It's going to be fine...... Doctor...... There are doctors in the people...... I'll carry you over now. ”

Alice came to her senses and immediately flashed forward, supporting Yuelin, who was about to fall to the ground.

"Alice, listen to me......"

"Lin-chan, give me a good rest, don't talk!" Alice hugged Yan Yuelin's gradually cold body tightly, and while shouting angrily, she flew as fast as she could, flying into the air and in the direction of Renli.

"Listen to me!"

Alice could feel that Yin Yuelin was clutching her clothes with all her strength.

"I—I'm listening!"

Alice trembled and cried, her arms holding her body almost out of strength, but it didn't slow down her flight in the slightest.

"Don't go to the youkai for revenge...... Momiji seniors are also ...... Seven seniors are also ...... That's why it's ......."

Hurry, hurry!

Alice, on the other hand, just kept speeding up her flight.

The distance from your cabin to the world takes about an hour, but ......

If you want to fly, if you fly at the fastest speed......

“…… Actually, what about me...... Knowing that Alice will be attacked by youkai in these days...... That's why it's only recently ...... I've been over there...... Really bothered ......."

Why hasn't it arrived yet?!

Damn......

“…… Don't force it, Alice...... My own situation...... I know very well ......"

Don't talk about it!

If you go on......

"Actually...... I have a ...... I didn't tell anyone else...... I can...... See how long you live......"

……

"I've ...... No...... The way to go......"

……

"It's better than starving to death in a place that no one knows...... Like this...... I'm so happy to die to protect my friends......"

……

"That's called ...... Mo Ming's guy...... Pretty handsome...... You want...... Come on......"

……

“…… Everyone...... They were all saved by that guy...... I was thinking of trying to confess......"

……

“…… Alice...... It's a witch...... So gentle......"

……

"It's so warm......"

……

I felt the placket of my shirt being clutched on my chest relax slightly.

Alice suddenly shouted, "Lin-chan! It's a human in front of you! It's here! Hold on a little longer......

No sound came.

A long-haired girl dressed in white in her arms seemed to have fallen asleep.

……

At the entrance of the world, several peasants carried hoes and looked strangely at these two bloody girls who suddenly fell from the sky.

Thrilling beauty.

But no one dared to step forward, just watched from afar.

The girl with short blond hair hugged the girl with long black hair tightly and sat there on her knees, not moving.

The blonde girl's head was kept down, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Ahh......hh

Her throat was dry and uncomfortable, and Alice wanted to say something.

However, the sound does not come out.

At this moment, Alice finally found out.

This one...... Just now, yesterday, the day before yesterday, the girl who had been talking to her......

I can't speak anymore.

……

……

The sun was setting, and it was already dark in the Enchanted Forest.

Rustling footsteps rang out.

"What's going on...... So much blood here is ......"

It was Mo Ming's voice.

There was a knock on Alice's door.

"Alice, are you there?"

The knock continued.

"Alice?"

There was a squeak, and the door opened.

"Ah, Alice, you're at home," she shouldn't be at home Alice, what's going on here, let's leave the bloodstain matter aside for the time being, "Well, I have something to discuss with you......"

"......" Alice didn't see any expression on her face.

"It's about the festival.,I want to investigate the organizer.,I need to borrow the power of the monster mountain Shooting Maruwen.,So I'm going to ......."

“……”

"Of course, it's not that we go straight over, let's go find Marisa first, and then ......"

“…… Mo Ming. ”

"Huh?" Mo Ming, who finally found out that something was wrong, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

“…… Are you going to see Lin's tomb together?"

In the Magical Forest in the evening, Alice's voice was so cold.

PS: As I said before, Yin Yuelin is an important person.

One might ask, is that all she is important? My answer remains the same - she is an important person, and her importance does not mean her influence on Alice or other key people, but she herself - she is important. Even now, after this chapter, I still say so.

So, let's continue reading the novel......
