Chapter 53: The Witch's Tea Party (I)
Sitting in place and resting for a while, Kiriko was a little hesitant to go back and find some helpers. Tomato β‘ saidβ½Netβ '-'.After all, compared to the slashing she was good at, a stabbing sword like Asuna's was more suitable for dealing with those puppets flying around in the air, but after thinking about it, Kiriko decided to try again.
It's not for merit or anything like that, it's just that it's rare to see an enemy that makes you feel tricky, and taking this opportunity to exercise is the best option, after all, no one knows what kind of situation you can encounter in the last few dozen floors of Ein Grant, and you can seize every opportunity to improve yourself in order to survive to the maximum...... No matter how much she pays for this, Kiriko feels that she deserves it.
Besides, if you can't beat it, you can't run, the flight speed of those puppets is not too fast, and the range of action is limited, so you can still do it with a safe exit. Kiriko has 100% confidence in this.
However, what she didn't expect was that this time, after she approached, the puppets did not come to chase her, but instead moved out of the way...... It was like inviting her in. Tomato ''-.-f-q-x-
"It can't be a trap...... Kiriko muttered like this, but thinking about it, she still had the courage to walk over, but the fingers holding the sword were slightly forced, and the muscles on her body also tensed, and if something happened, she could immediately turn around and kill a way.
But as it turned out, her worries were undoubtedly unfounded. Until Kiriko, who kept moving forward, left all the puppets in charge of guarding behind her far behind, and the expected assault did not appear, which made her slightly relieved and began to wonder about the current situation. Kiriko vaguely felt that the reason behind this was very crucial, and maybe it would be possible for them to further understand the changes that appeared in these monsters......
However, before the grand scene appeared in front of him, Kiriko completely lost the desire to think about it. God knows why the labyrinth, which was originally gloomy or majestic, disappeared and was replaced by a peaceful and tranquil flower garden and a delicate wooden hut. β‘β½β Tomato β Small β Say Net '--.-f'q'x-s--.com If it weren't for the repeated confirmation of the message marked on the map, Kiriko would have almost thought that she had strayed into a fairy tale scene at this time.
In the center of the flower garden is a milky white table with a few matching chairs, on which is placed a pot of freshly brewed black tea and a few desserts, giving people the feeling of waiting for someone to go to the afternoon tea party, but in fact there are indeed two people sitting there quietly enjoying the beautiful afternoon.
"That's ...... Lord Ye Yu? The ...... who sat across from him Kindness? Kiriko rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then looked into the distance again, and finally determined that the girl who looked 5 points similar to Ye Yu really had the words "75th floor guard boss" on her head......
"Ah, really...... Because they are also NPCs, it is not surprising that they know each other...... Probably......" said the inference that even he would believe. Kiriko hesitated whether to step forward at this time, after all, the boss lady didn't seem to be in a very good mood, in case she suddenly went crazy, Kiriko didn't think Ye Yu would help her get out. Tomato β‘ netβ ---.-f'q'x-s''.com
However, before the girl had time to leave, Ye Yu, who was not far away, turned around as if he had already discovered her, and then beckoned to her to come over.
Seeing such a situation, Tongzi was naturally not good to continue to hide, pouting his mouth a little broken, and stepped forward to see Ye Yu like this, it shouldn't be a bad thing...... Otherwise, he wouldn't even have room to escape, after all, the lord's sword move ...... Kiriko felt a little chilly when she thought about it.
"Look at me, I'll say it, this girl will definitely raise the courage to step forward again." Getting closer, Kiriko also vaguely heard the conversation between the two, but to her surprise, Ye Yu, who looked like he should be a younger brother, had a tone of lesson on his lips. And the blonde lady, although her face was unhappy, still sat there and listened quietly, feeling very strange...... And what they're talking about seems to be themselves?
"Ah, come here, come here~~" Seeing Kiriko coming over, Ye Yu smiled at her with a little enthusiasm, and then motioned to the girl to take the seat next to her, "It's a little later than I thought, I thought you wouldn't come, it would be a pity if you were like that...... After all, a witch tea party like this is not something that can be participated in casually~~"
"Father!" God knows which nerve Alice was touched by Ye Yu, the girl raised her voice rarely, but most of the momentum was dissipated by Ye Yu's eyes, "In short, this tea party is not held for this human being." Tomato β‘β Say β Net '--.- F-Q' And I don't recognize humans or anything! β
"Father?" For a moment, Kiriko really suspected that she had heard it wrong, but looking at the atmosphere between the two of them...... The relationship between siblings guessed by subjective feelings. Maybe it's really just her own wishful thinking, but why does she have such a big grudge against herself? Wrong...... Not against yourself, but against your own species? She just mentioned the term human, didn't she......
"Haah......" Ye Yu sighed a little weakly, "I said that I love sauce...... You weren't like this before, you would have been performing a puppet show for children, had you? Why ...... now? Ah, is it witch hunting? β
There was no need for Alice to answer, just looking at her face, Ye Yu knew that he had guessed correctly, but this gave him even more headaches...... God knows what happened to this girl during her time in the West, but it stands to reason that the real witch will not be burned at the stake. After all, it was just an activity carried out by humans to slaughter dissidents, how could a mere ignorant human threaten a witch comparable to a great monster?
However, it is more natural to be disgusted with human beings, after all, it is the essence of the human race that is more cruel than demons, more treacherous than demons, and more reckless than monsters, and all this is completely exposed in that environment.
Similarly, compared to humans who are good at forgetting, a few hundred years in the eyes of the big monster is tantamount to a flick of a finger. As a witness to the original incident, it's no wonder that Alice would have a good impression of humans, plus she is the one who likes dolls, in fact, even Ye Yu has to admit that moving dolls are indeed much cuter than humans......
"Hey, you......" After grabbing his hair with his hand, Ye Yu said as if persuading, "Although this is not very appropriate for me, the human race is actually really interesting. The dark side and the bright side of them are half and half respectively, and the possibilities are almost endless...... So try to look at them objectively as much as possible, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to ......"
What better way to get to know this race than by observing a group of humans trapped in a cage? Although Ye Yu also felt that this was a bit despicable, wouldn't humans make ecological boxes or something in order to observe the living habits of other animals, and they could be regarded as each other......
"In other words, my father is on that side?" Alice took a sip of the black tea in the cup of tea tray, and at the same time glanced at Ye Yu with her eyes, "That's ...... Let's make a bet, anyway, with the level of these guys, it is impossible to break through the defenses I have laid down, so it is better to let me set up some trial levels, if they can satisfy me, it will naturally pass, but if not...... Please stop being biased against them, Father! β
"How can I be biased...... Ye Yu complained with a little dissatisfaction, "But I actually want to see how far these humans can go...... But since it's a trial, let's get it bigger, ...... What do you say? (To be continued.) )
