Clang!

As soon as Miss "Dancer" finished speaking, a tarot card appeared on her throat.

However, when the tarot card, which was obviously a paper, came into contact with the seemingly slender neck of the dancing lady, it made a sound like a steel handover.

Miss Dancer, who called herself Cecia, seemed very satisfied with Mr. Fool's enthusiastic "response", and her face showed an expression of intoxication.

"This deck of cards...... You modeled it after that guy from Matar, right? ”

Cecia slowly stretched out two slender fingers to pinch the card stuck around her neck, and then continued with a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that it's a Xibei product, it's really far worse than the original."

Mr. Fool's [Pope] tarot card trembled in Cecia's hand, as if she was very dissatisfied after hearing the other party's evaluation.

It's just that it quickly stopped struggling again, because ......

Cecia manipulated the body of the dancing lady and held the card in front of her, and kissed it.

Zizizi——

A sound like a scorched flame came from the [Pope] tarot card.

"Hey—"

Mr. Fool finally spoke again, and he let out a heavy sigh.

Because this is already the fourth tarot card he scrapped today.

The light that was originally brought by the [Pope] tarot card was also quickly dimmed with the destruction of this card.

As Mr. Fool's sigh sounded from inside the cavern, Mr. Fool's figure disappeared in place.

Just the next moment,

Another burst of light far beyond what had just appeared in the cavern again.

Clang!

With another crisp clashing sound, Mr. Fool's figure shifted to Cecia's back in an instant.

Only this time, Mr. Fool is not holding a card, but a gorgeous sword!

The light that suddenly appeared also came from this sword.

If the light evoked by the [Pope] tarot card just now is like the rising sun of dawn, then the light that blooms from the blade at this moment is like the scorching sun at noon.

It's a pity that this dazzling blade still failed to cut through Miss Dancer's seemingly fragile body.

However, Mr. Fool's sword was not useless, because the beast tamer, who had been unable to move just now, found that he was finally able to control his body.

How did the boss start using hand-to-hand combat?

There's something wrong with this style, right?

The beast tamer, who sensed that something was wrong, couldn't be surprised at the moment where his boss pulled out a sword, and the doubts in his mind were extinguished by him in an instant, and then he crawled to the ground and fled towards the entrance of the cave.

"Ignorant bugs."

Cecia didn't even glance at the fleeing trainer, her eyes still fixed on Mr. Fool.

"Hehe, but you're better than other bugs, it's rare to see in this era, if you hadn't almost exhausted your strength in successive battles, I wouldn't have been able to hold you with my current appearance......"

Looking at Mr. Fool, who immediately retreated as soon as he missed the blow, Cecia continued to mutter to herself without paying any attention:

"But a worm is a worm after all, and he can't even comprehend my mercy."

"I can't bear the mercy of the fallen angel Cecia."

Mr. Fool finally responded to Cecia's words for the first time.

"Oh~ You even know about my existence?"

Mr. Fool's response made Cecia a little curious, and she thought that no one would know about it in this land abandoned by the gods.

It's just that Mr. Fool didn't continue to respond to Cecia this time, but took out a black invitation from his pocket and tore it up without any hesitation.

Mr. Fool's actions were extremely decisive, without even a hint of hesitation or pause.

And with his actions, a blue crack soon appeared in the cave.

And Mr. Fool got into it almost the moment the crack appeared!

Escaped?!

Cecia was a little stunned, she didn't expect that this guy in front of her actually had a means, and this means seemed to have some memory of herself-

It's the invitation that the great inventor Alice gave to Oscar, an invitation to the Witch's Forest!

Damn, I miscalculated that.

The image in Cecia's mind flashed quickly, but her movements did not pause for a moment.

Don't let this near-arriving prey escape!

Looking at Mr. Fool's instantaneous vanishing figure and the blue crack that was gradually fading, Cecia's figure quickly appeared next to the crack, and then burrowed into it with the same speed.

Zizizizi!

The blue rift took only two seconds from appearance to disappearance, and those two seconds made the trainer feel as if he had gone from hell to heaven.

The pressure that had originally permeated the cave suddenly disappeared, and there was no breath except for himself, and even a thought popped up in Izawa's mind-

Did you just have a dream?

——————————————————

Whew-

The figures of Mr. Fool and Cecia appeared one after the other on a vast white snowfield.

Over here...... Is it the Witch's Forest?

Mr. Fool was in this place for the first time, and he only glanced around cursoryly before immediately returning to his alert state.

Because the terrible guy who had just been chasing him was still chasing after him.

"This is the Witch's Forest? It's not a big deal......"

Cecia stepped on the snow, and she glanced around with some curiosity, and to her strange thing was that there was a white expanse everywhere she could see, and she couldn't see anything but the sun overhead.

There isn't even a single tree, so why is it called the Witch's Forest?

Cecia, who had been asleep for most of the time, was also ignorant of this place that had only been rumored in recent years, but she was keenly aware that the spatial power of this place seemed to be somewhat different from that of the Ash Continent.

This means that Mr. Fool will have a harder time escaping unless he has been there a long time ago.

The thought of this made Cecia's mood feel better, and she was ready to continue to taunt Mr. Fool, after all, she had not been given such an opportunity for a long time.

But before Cecia could open her mouth, a voice appeared on the empty snow first—

"Error 10...... Spotted without a pass...... Error Correction ...... Erase. ”

Erase?

Who's talking?

Mister Fool and Cecia looked incredulous at the moment, for neither of them had even noticed how the owner of the voice had appeared.

They looked at the brown-haired maid who suddenly appeared in front of them, and for a moment they couldn't help but doubt their own strength.

Well, erase ...... And what does that mean?

The same question came to the minds of the two, but only one of them was answered.

But Mr. Fool, who was answered, felt his back soaked, because he had witnessed it a moment ago...... The fallen angel Cecia, who had just chased herself into embarrassment, disappeared inch by inch after waving her hand at the maid in front of her!

Mr. Fool was so sure that it was a complete obliteration, and even his own soul could feel the trembling feeling.

What frightened Mr. Fool even more was that the maid in front of him wiped out Cecia as if she had wiped out a bug, without any fluctuations......

Like a bug that had just been cleaned up at the door of the house, the head maid turned around and gave Mr. Fool a textbook lady's salute.

"Dear ...... Invitees...... Jasmine 99...... Have a great trip. ”
