There was a scream from the sky, and a figure descended in the woods, accompanied by the sound of the trees rolling and tumbling, you can imagine how badly the girl fell.

Another golden light fell, and this time the girl who landed showed a beautiful posture that formed a strong contrast with the previous one.

"Yukiko, are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine, Miss Alice..."

Listening to the voice, I rushed to see Yukiko's haori hanging on the branch, and her dirty face was very pitiful.

"Poof, haha. ”

"Woo, Miss Alice, don't laugh at me. Hmm! watch out for the !! behind."

Yukiko's roar hit Alice's ears, and the moment her tense figure quickly flashed away, a short blade swept through and plunged into the trunk of the tree.

Boom –

With a bang, the short-bladed explosion destroys the trunk, and Yukiko is saved. Before he had time to tidy up Yukiko, he immediately jumped down, pulled out the long knife at his waist and shouted angrily into the grass.

"!!"

The grass suddenly moved, and Alice's ghost eye pierced everything. She exclaimed hurriedly

"He's going to run away!"

"Can't let him go!"

Yukiko is more enthusiastic than she imagined, and she does not hesitate to kill into the grass. Alice was worried about her safety and immediately followed, but Yukiko had no sense of cooperation at all, and saw that Alice came and chose to divide the dangerous soldiers into two ways.

"Yukiko!

"Hmm!"

Within a short time of the two soldiers parting ways, Alice heard the sonorous sound of weapons fighting on the other side, and hurried to the scene, and when they arrived at the scene, blood splashed on Yukiko's blade and the blood of the enemy was flowing.

On the ground, a hooded man died tragically under a knife. Alice looked at this familiar outfit and suddenly realized that this was not the man who attacked her in the first place?

(There's something about this girl.) ）

"Yukiko, your swordsmanship is very strong. Alice praised, her inner guard had been raised to the point that she would not trust anyone.

"Don't come here!!" Yukiko suddenly exclaimed.

At this sound, Alice stopped. The eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and the killing intent in his heart was decided. (This woman must not stay!)

"Miss Alice, don't come here, there's an evil spirit behind you. Hold on to this, don't be nervous, and watch me solve it together!"

"Evil spirit?" Alice looked at Yukiko in surprise, and at this moment her eyes were indeed looking behind her with sincerity and seriousness.

(Are there really evil spirits?)

Alice was about to turn back, but saw Yukiko in a posture, but the posture was extremely strange, holding the sword horizontally with both hands parallel to her eyes, and the tip of the sword was pointing downward.

"Snow... sub.."

Before the words fell, he saw Yukiko's posture pressed down, and her body came to Alice's face like a slide, and a knife light slashed past her side.

Alice only felt the coldness of her whole body, her eyes were completely dumbfounded, and when Yukiko let out a cry with a cute face, Alice relieved her heart and fell on Yukiko's body with a frightened body.

"Well, what's the matter, Miss Alice. Suddenly, suddenly, so intimate.... Me, I"

"Yukiko, your swordsmanship is really terrifying. I thought you were coming for me. Alice pressed her weight on Yukiko, and the hand holding the girl's back was revealed.

"Eh, how could I have done it to you? I'm against the evil spirits behind you. ”

"Evil spirits?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to have been resolved. ”

Alice was surprised, she didn't expect that there were such creatures on this island, she hurriedly got up and turned around to kill, but the rear was dull.

Alice suddenly came to her senses and turned around to fight back at the girl behind her, but

"Wow!!"

Yukiko screamed, her hands covered in front of her, and she looked like a child who was afraid of being beaten. Alice looked puzzled by such a move.

(Am I wrong again?)

"Miss Alice, be careful. Your knife..."

"I'm sorry. Miss Yukiko, where are the evil spirits you are talking about?"

"Eh, didn't you see it, or was it just me who could see it!!" Yukiko looked suddenly realized, and then quickly pointed to the hooded man's corpse

"Eh!!There has been!!That's it!!!!

Alice turned around and looked at Yukiko's direction, and it turned out that the evil spirit she was talking about was the gas that took the hooded man away.

(It seems that this man also has a bit of a background.) Dead can be resurrected.... ）

"Alice, is it solved?" asked Yukiko, who was hiding behind her, timidly leaning out.

"It's okay, you're mistaken. It was just a thing to take away the corpse. ”

"Oh, that's amazing. It's a wonderful world out there. ”

Looking at Yukiko, a girl who didn't understand anything, Alice looked helpless. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of world this girl lived in.

"Miss Yukiko, why did I split up with me at that time?" Alice asked suddenly.

"Well, this has a better chance of catching the prisoner. Although it is likely to suffer, I believe in Miss Alice's strength. ”

(It turns out that she trusts me to separate from me.) Alice felt a little guilty in her heart, and she still thought that it was Yukiko who was defensive about her and refused to go with her.

"Miss Yukiko, can I call you Yukiko?"

"Of course, Alice. Hey, hey, Miss's cry always feels too strange. ”

Yukiko's innocent smile was so contagious, Alice let go of her inner defense of her, and opened her heart to approach her.

"If you don't dislike it, we can form a team. ”

"Oh, can this be a team? Alice, oops, I'm worried about how I'm going to complete my cultivation, and with Alice, this cultivation journey will be a lot more interesting. ”

"yes, I hope so, too. ”

(Fun, will it be happy? Not really, Yukiko.) Having already experienced two battles, Alice already knew a lot about this cultivation.

It was a terrible fight, and no one could run away from death. Everything will be proven by strength and luck, life and death are in your own hands, even a small mistake will bury everything you work hard for, on this island, in this battle, there are no friends, only terrible and cunning opponents.

(Still)

"Yukiko, what kind of world do you live in?"

"My world, civilian life in the city is still very interesting. People in our world love to take a bath very much, and some people even take a bath several times a day. There is no need to worry about things breaking, and there are craftsmen who repair things in the streets and alleys. And there's the magical show, you know, the kind of tightrope walking barefoot and swallowing the sword down your throat. Wow, it's thrilling every time I see it. ”

(It's an acrobatic show...) Alice had seen it in the Star Spirit Nation before, but this kind of performance had long since been lonely. In this day and age, everyone doesn't like to watch this kind of performance, and as far as she knows, these performances should be something popular in her grandfather's time.

"Alas, the civilians of the city are doing well, though. However, eighty percent of the peasants feel that they are not doing well. They have worked hard enough to grow food, but they are still bullied and robbed by bandits who don't know where they came from, alas. ”

"Yukiko, as a samurai, should be okay. Alice said that as far as she knew, the word samurai had only been seen in books, and it was to describe a military man on an island who knew the art of martial arts and made combat a profession.

"Well, it's okay. At least eat and drink without worry. The daily task is to maintain local law and order and deal with the villains. ”

"Yukiko, why did you take such a risk to come here to cultivate?"

"Because, the health of the adult is getting worse day by day, and I, as her apprentice, need to pass on the swordsmanship. However, my strength is too poor, and only by cultivating stronger as soon as possible can I fully inherit the swordsmanship of adults. So, I listened to the words of a shrine maiden and came here. ”

Speaking of this, Yukiko's face showed a slightly sad countenance. Everyone has their own difficulties, Alice sighed softly, and took the initiative to take Yukiko's arm and put it against her.

Alice's actions brought Yukiko a warmth that she had never felt before, and she happily accepted Alice's overtures, and her heart became more dependent and trusting to the woman next to her.

"Alice, we're going to make it. ”

"Well, definitely, so let's find a house to hide in. ”
