Curtain XXXVII. Grinding
Yutong Shiai walks on a path in the middle of the forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She had been away from the Cheshire Cat for about half an hour now, and had walked all the way along the only lighted passage on the previous floor, when she found an exit, and when she jumped out of it, she saw a large primeval forest in front of her.
But there is something strange about this forest, there are no weeds and shrubs that are taller than a human under those tall trees, which makes it difficult for people to walk, but like a fairy tale forest, there are meadows and babbling rivers, and the ground is scattered with huge marbles, and among those huge glass marbles that are one person tall there are all kinds of huge toys.
Yutong Shiai was amazed, and after stepping on the land, he turned around and saw the pile of iron lumps he was in before.
…… It seems like an unbeatably large alarm clock.
But in the current situation, it seems that the duchess is looking for her. Yutong Shiai held his head in his hand and looked at the small spire that appeared above the forest. There are buildings in that direction.
She straightened her long black hair a little uncomfortably, and headed in that direction.
This walk is two hours, and Yutong Shiai, who used to have no fatigue because it was a fantasy body, also experienced the inconvenience of having a body for the first time.
This girl named Alice is also quite good in body among her peers, and can support a two-hour rapid march, should she be said to be worthy of the same name Alice?
After making a little joke about this body, Yutong Shiai had to stop. Although there are no particularly difficult paths in this forest, the scenery along the way is a bit strange, with bridges built with pai gow, mushrooms that bounce high when you step on them, huge flowers that teleport to the other side of the cliff, and a monster that looks like mud.
It was a monster about a meter tall that suddenly appeared on the road, with a short and fat body composed of black mud, without a head, and in the middle of the torso there was a white model of a doll's head, and the black mud filled its eyes and mouth.
It's a disgusting and child-ruining thing, which is probably the reason why the Cheshire Cat Royal Sister gave Yutong Shiai a cut off her head.
Luckily, their speed is quite slow, and Yutong Shiai can easily get rid of them.
Yutong Shiai guessed that there must be a lot of monsters after that, and the battle was inevitable, so she still found a chance to find a lone monster, and lifted her head and cut it to fight.
The fight is surprisingly simple, the opponent's attack means are single, the intelligence is low, and the attack strength is also weak. The head cut easily shaved off the black mud from its body, and after a few slashes, it fell to the ground and turned into a real puddle of mud, leaving only the white head mold.
Of course, if there are too many of them, it will be quite a headache.
In short, after finding out the other party's situation, Yutong Shiai rested, and it took another ten minutes to rush to the vicinity of the building.
Then Yutong Shiai saw it again...... Well, the strange building of this forest. It's like cutting a cake, and half of the castle is cut vertically.
What the hell is this world, curious!
And in the middle of the huge castle (only half a pull remained), there was a three-meter-tall middle-aged lady humming a little song and stirring a crucible on a stove. The appearance of this noble lady is very distinctive...... Well, for example, it's a crumpled loaf of bread, and then two cones are pasted for hair, and then you cut a random slice of ham sausage for the nose, and finally you have to sprinkle a few sesame seeds for the freckles on her face.
That's probably it, such a peculiar appearance anyway, Shiai doesn't want to describe it.
And the three-headed woman seemed to notice Yutong Shiai walking out of the forest, turned her grape-like eyes, and laughed with a shriveled mouth.
"Oh, long time no see, Alice-chan, I thought you had gone to find that old madman."
…… It seems that this is the Duchess.
"Long time no see, ma'am, I need your help."
Yutong Shiai looked over, the lady's fat body was really ...... Well, full of deterrence.
And the Duchess listened to Alice's words, and also moved the ham intestine nose.
"Okay, okay, Alice. But before that, do you want a sip of soup, kid? After all, you're also someone who has your own things to do. ”
Then she stirred the spoon of the crucible and fished out a white mold of a doll's head.
Yes, it's the kind of monster you see on the road.
What kind of dark food are you cooking!
Yutong complained silently in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head.
"No, ma'am, I'm on my way, please lend me your grinder."
"Oh poor Alice, are you in a hurry Mr. Rabbit, be careful that Mr. Rabbit is unemployed?"
The folds on the bread grew more and more, and one suspected that it would explode silently in the next second, the Duchess sighed and pointed to something on the round table.
"No, there, but it's not a pepper grinder, I've recently changed my taste, and I like peppers from the East."
Although this conversation is full of slots, Yutong Shiai doesn't have that much time to argue with her slowly. She needs to find Alice as soon as possible and complete the death of the upright.
Then get rid of this weak body.
She stood on her tiptoes to be able to grab the object that the Duchess could hold with a slap, but to her had to hold with both hands. Well, it's like a magnified pepper grinder, but it's bright red wood, and it's beautifully carved on it.
"Remember, the grinder jets for a long time, and it takes a while to catch your breath, Alice. I'm looking forward to you bringing some delicious outcasts. ”
The Duchess cracked open her mouth, baring her terrible teeth and pointing at the white molds of the skulls in the cauldron.
Turns out this disgusting thing is called a forsaken spirit?
"Good...... Good ma'am. ”
Yutong Shiai smiled bitterly a few times, holding the head off and cutting in one hand, and holding the pepper grinder in the other.
"Little Alice, my little Alice."
The Duchess shook her spoon.
"Don't be so reckless, put the knife and sharpener in your pocket."
…… What?
Although Yutong Shiai was a little surprised, there were not many accidents along the way, so he stubbornly turned the tip of the knife and put it in the pocket of the apron.
Unlike the tip of the knife that he had expected to puncture the pocket, the knife seemed to enter the knife holder and sank into the pocket, revealing the hilt. She did the same and put the grinder in as well, leaving only the rocker at the end of the grinder. It's as if the blade and the grinder are stored in a space.
This was much lighter, and after that, Yutong Shiai also asked the mad hatter to hold a tea party in the manor of the deeper forest after that.
…… This group of wonderful, are all the people in this world wonderful?
So Yutong Shiai continued to rush inside after a short rest.
The journey went smoothly, and several waves of abandoned spirits were also used by her to test the power of the pepper grinder, shaking the rear rocker and spraying red pepper particles at the front end inexplicably have good lethality, the fly in the ointment is that it takes a while for the grinder to slow down after grinding to a certain limit.
Fortunately, there was no hunger in this body all the way, otherwise Yutong Shiai would have to go back to the duchess to try the discarded spirit soup pot that looked very bad.
So as the sun went down in the sky, she also arrived at the manor of the mad hatter, as the Duchess had spoken.
The estate consists of a villa and a huge garden with a three-metre-high table and two-metre-high chairs. And on that table was an equally huge meal, with butter bread, cheese, jam, and a teapot almost as tall as Toai Yuki's body now.
…… Is this the kingdom of the giants that I said about in Northern Europe?
And at the table and chair, sat a giant.
The giant could only be seen to be about five meters tall because she was sitting, and on top of her head, she wore a two-meter-tall top hat with an exaggerated black and white square pattern. If you just look at her height, she's a giant, but if you put aside the concept of human height, judging from the proportions of her body alone, it's just a giant Lori.
"Wow......"
Yutong Shiai hid by the fence of the manor and watched the huge Lori stirring the same huge teacup with a huge spoon that could almost be used for execution, the bright red double ponytail playing Roman rolls in her ears, drooping on her shoulders, and the red pupils of the fireflies on her immature face did not know what she was thinking, and there was a patch on the side of her face like a spade in a playing card. She was wearing a red and black suit, but because the style was too peculiar to look like a formal and serious suit, it was more like a comedy clown's deliberate play, with a few chains on her flat chest, and a pair of tight black pants and a pair of bulky black leather boots.
Seemingly, probably, it is, the Mad Hatter, right?

In addition, Che-chan touched his head.
