Loria disliked Vanilla walking slowly, and Vanilla had no reason to trouble the undead, so naturally, they kept going apart, and with Alice's mysterious sense of smell, they met every few days, and then separated.

    The exact date is completely irregular, most likely when Alice misses Loria (the food on her body), she will consciously walk in the direction where Loria is......

    Alice, who had just had a full meal not long ago, was lazily leaning against the tree, and the ground under the tree was full of fallen pine needles, which were spread in a thick layer, as long as you were careful not to get pricked, it was still very comfortable to sit on...... Alice huddled around Vanilla, grabbing the pine needles on the ground and throwing them out in boredom.

    Vanilla was reading a book, Alice glanced at the book a few times, and saw that there were no illustrations and she couldn't raise any interest anymore, she seemed to be taken by Loria in this regard, although her comprehension ability is far beyond that of humans, but she only loves to read fairy tale books with illustrations.

    " rabbit. ”

    Alice bumped Vanilla's arm, and the latter's attention was focused on the unnamed book, completely ignoring Alice.

    "Clothed rabbits. ”

    "Hmm...... Hmmm......"

    " also took out his pocket watch. ”

    "Don't be stupid......" Vanilla's attention was finally attracted by Alice's words, and the bunny with a pocket watch in her clothes ...... How could it be, but it seemed that the imagination and curiosity about the world had not yet been lost, and Vanilla looked in the direction Alice was looking, empty, not even a bug could be seen, and it was indeed a lie...... Feeling deceived, Vanilla was a little annoyed, and couldn't help complaining, "Even if you are also called **Lis, it won't be that fairy tale Alice, you just blame Alice with tentacles." ”

    On the other side, Alice, who has the same name as a famous Alice, did not fight back against Vanilla's rap complaints. She got up from under the tree, ignoring the pine needles stuck to her body, and chased in a certain direction...... Vanilla saw her pick up a pile of pine needles. Got in.

     drilled in......

    Could it be that a guy named Alice has the ability to find a rabbit hole that leads to a mysterious world?

    Vanilla shook her head to interrupt her unrealistic delusions, and she wanted to keep reading. But after a few moments, she smelled a foul stench, the stench that soaked the wind from the west coast was disgusting and unsettling, and when she put down the book, she found black shadows flying overhead—hordes of gargoyles gathering towards the north.

    She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand where so many natural calamity alchemy creatures flew from...... The gargoyles didn't notice the magical girl sitting under the tree reading a book, and their static vision was always terrible, especially when flying at high speeds - but Vanilla may have never learned how to avoid gargoyles, or maybe she knew it was just instinctively afraid.

    In short. She jumped up and ran towards where Alice had disappeared, trying to get into that 'rabbit hole'.

    The cave was not too far away, and I didn't know if it was eroded by flowing water or a shelter carved out by some creature, so vanilla quickly reached the edge of the cave and drilled into it regardless of it.

    However, an overly plump part of her body got stuck in her body, making her stuck at the entrance.

    "Hey!

    Vanilla saw Alice through the faint light on the other side, and the light was pouring down from several smaller entrances, which seemed to be really a rabbit hole...... Vanilla saw the young girl-like tentacle monster the size of a human being six or seven years old, huddled in the depths of the cave with her hands on her knees, and called out to her for help.

    Vanilla, which was running around in the forest and making noises, was unsurprisingly discovered by a gargoyle in the sky. It was only a matter of moments, and a dozen gargoyles swarmed like cats that smelled fish, and their shrill chirping approached. Vanilla had a sharp pain in her back, as if she had been scratched by something.

    Alice, cowered down the rabbit hole, raised her index finger at the screaming herb in pain and made a 'shhh' motion, but it didn't work, so she put her hands over her eyes and didn't look at the tragic situation of a magical girl being dragged away.

    The screams didn't last long, and when Alice removed her palm covering her eyes, both the gargoyle and the magical girl were gone, leaving only a strange residue.

    ……

    Loria seemed to recall the scene when she saw ten thousand arrows on the snowy city wall...... The sky was littered with gargoyles and frost dragons, so many that she didn't have the slightest intention of attacking. I feel like a boat in a storm, involuntarily drifting with the current.

    She has long since ceased to be afraid of fighting all kinds of strange-looking creatures, but one person is an army, Lori is unparalleled or something...... It's impossible in the real world...... Hm. This is Azeroth, not Tristram next door.

    The experience of battling the Scourge led Loria to stuff the lich's skulls into her bag as soon as she spotted the undead. Then she curled up motionless at the edge of the trunk, and it was still a long time before the sun went down before she could risk being discovered...... Even though the Frost Dragon's eyes are better than those of gargoyles, it is difficult to see motionless critters on the ground when flying at high speeds in the air.

    Lori, which was covered by the canopy, was not seen at all...... It took nearly an hour for the mixed teams of gargoyles and frost dragons to disappear from Loria's sky.

    Loria, who got up from the ground, shook her sore arms, almost failed to stand firm, rubbed her legs and shoulders, she finally relented, but before she could be happy, an ominous strong stench wafted in the air...... Loria is all too familiar with these smells.

    ……

    The army of the Scourge stretched endlessly, and all kinds of dead people seemed to fill every gap in the forest, and even the predators, who used to become very excited at night, became silent.

    The shrewd wild animals have long since taken refuge in all corners, mostly in underground nests, but also in trees, such as Miss Loria and a leopard.

    When Loria spotted it, the oversized cat was leaning on its belly on a thick branch.

    The most unfortunate event in the forest took place - two carnivores of similar size met unexpectedly, and they were almost face to face.

    If there were no undead under the trees, a battle for hunting territory might soon begin...... However, the common enemy did not make the cat and Lori get along any kinder - those big crimson eyes stared at the belly of the big cat Bai Huahua, as if looking for a place for the black sword in his hand, and the big amber eyes did not show weakness, always staring at Lori's throat.

    Lori and the big cat froze like this, with only each other left in their eyes, as if the dead people who purred from the depths of their throats and passed under the trees did not exist at all. (To be continued)

    ps: Oops, long time no see.
