Loria disliked Vanilla's slow walk, 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. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

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

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 covered in a thick layer, and it was still very comfortable to sit on as long as you were careful not to get pricked...... 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 could no longer arouse any interest, in this respect she seemed to be led by Loria, although her comprehension is far beyond that of humans, but she only likes to read fairy tale books with illustrations.

"Rabbit."

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

"Clothed rabbits."

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

"I took my pocket watch out of my pocket."

"Don't be stupid...... vanilla's attention was finally drawn to 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...... Vanilla, who felt deceived, was a little annoyed, and couldn't help complaining, "Even if you are called Alice, it won't be the fairy tale Alice, you just blame Alice with your 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, ignored the pine needles stuck to her body, and chased in a certain direction...... Vanilla saw her pick up a pile of pine needles and got inside.

Got in......

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

Vanilla shook her head to interrupt her unrealistic delusions, she wanted to continue reading, but after a few moments she smelled a foul odor, the stench that soaked the wind blowing from the West Coast was disgusting and unsettling, and when she put down the book, she found a black shadow flying overhead—a horde of gargoyles gathering 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.

Anyway, she jumped up and ran towards the place 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, but vanilla quickly reached the edge of the cave and burrowed into it regardless of it.

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

"Hey! Give me a hand! ”

Vanilla saw Alice through the faint light on the other side, and the light was pouring down from a few 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.

The vanilla that was running around in the forest and making a sound was unsurprisingly discovered by the gargoyles in the sky, but it was only an instantaneous thing, and a dozen gargoyles swarmed like cats that smelled fishy, and their sharp chirps approached, and vanilla had a sharp pain in her back, as if she had been scratched by something.

Cowering down the rabbit hole, Alice 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 to avoid seeing a magical girl being dragged away.

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

……

Loria seemed to recall the scene when she saw thousands of arrows on the snowy city wall in the past...... The sky was full of gargoyles and frost dragons, so many that she didn't have the slightest intention of attacking, and she felt like a boat in a storm.

She's long since stopped being afraid of fighting all kinds of strange-looking creatures.,But one person is an army.,Lori is unmatched...... It's impossible in the real world...... Well, this is Azeroth, not Trastram next door.

The experience of her long battles with the Scourge led Loria to stuff the lich's skull into her bag the first time she spotted the undead, and then curled up motionless by the tree trunk, long before the sun went down, so she didn't 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, who was covered by the canopy, couldn't be 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 arm, almost failed to stand firmly, and after rubbing her legs and shoulders, she finally recovered, but before she could be happy, an ominous strong stench wafted through the air...... Loria is all too familiar with these smells.

……

The army of the Scourge stretched endlessly, and all sorts of dead people seemed to fill every crevice in the forest, and even the predators, who used to become very agitated 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 a thick branch on its belly.

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 have started soon...... 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, only each other was 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. (To be continued.) )
