Chapter Sixty-Eight: Waiting for the Rabbit
"Let's go, stupid Natsu!"
Seeing that she was still staring in the direction of a certain bird's departure, Alexie seemed a little dissatisfied, and glared at her in a strange tone: "Look, don't you, you really want to go with that guy?"
"Hah, how is that possible?"
She retracted her gaze, glanced at Alexie, and shook her head in the same dissatisfied, "Besides, I haven't bothered with you about what happened just now, little girl! I'm not your 'thing', I don't need to tell you where I want to go, right?
So saying, she walked to the edge of the broken wall, reached out and pulled out the delicate knife that was stuck in it, looked down at its blade, and found that there was no damage, and then she used it with her right hand to make a dazzling movement, and then retracted into the cloak.

"There's no way around it, right?"
Hearing this, Alexie glared at this guy and explained with some anger: "If I didn't say that, Leia wouldn't have come out to meet me in the presence of outsiders! Hmph, you guy has heard so many secrets of our 'Witch's Hand', and you still dare to complain? If you weren't killed by me and Leia just now, you would already be favored by the god of luck, stupid Xia!"
"Tsk, then I really have to thank you for not killing!"
She raised her eyebrows, but she was a little surprised by the words of a certain magical girl, but she didn't expect that she accidentally walked around in front of the gate of hell again?
But are you finally willing to admit that you are the 'hand of the witch', little girl?
Presumably, you know you can't hide it, right?
Well, fortunately, I was quite calm just now, as a stranger, I didn't rush to interject during the conversation between these two guys, otherwise, if my identity is exposed, it is really possible for things to develop into what Alex said, right?
Not...... I just don't know if I can win if I really fight?
A certain battle maniac had already begun to think about the details of this kind of thing, and his expression was very serious.
"Alexie, that cat just now...... Oh no, that animal named Leia Gurardelli, it's your friend?" she and Alexie asked with some curiosity as they walked to the town's inn where they had booked a room, talking through a psychic connection, but since a creature was in the form of a cat, a bird, or even a griffin, she had some difficulty judging its true identity.
"Animals?cats?"
Alexie seemed to be laughed at by this guy's name for Leia Gulardelli, and gave her an angry look: "If Leia hears you say this about her, she will definitely fight with you!"
"Uh...... And she's human, too?"
Naturally, she has this kind of judgment, but she herself is more inclined to the idea that a certain black cat is a cat than this kind of thing, because it is more interesting!
At the same time, this guy's mind was calculated: Hmm...... Just say that Leia is not an animal, but do not deny the relationship of 'friend'? It seems that his previous guess was not wrong.
"Hmph, of course she's human, stupid!"
Seeing that her tone seemed to be a little disappointed, Alex was completely defeated by her strange thoughts, and explained to her with a serious expression: "Her name is Leia Gurardelli, she is a magician who specializes in transfiguration magic, and now she is a member of the 'Witch's Hand' Vilidi City Branch, hmph, after knowing so much and achieving the purpose of collecting information, you should be satisfied now, right?"
"Specializing in transfiguration magic?"
Her eyes flashed, but she ignored the teasing of a certain magical girl, and asked, "So, what type of magic do you specialize in?" I seem to remember that you once said that what kind of soul magic you cast?"
Where is the identity information of that black cat more important than the little girl in front of him?
For her, the little girl who has made a contract relationship with herself is the focus of her attention, and the reason why she tried to understand the black cat is actually just to know more about Alexie, in order to get some information about this magical girl from others.
"Hmph, what does this have to do with you?"
A magical girl who habitually betrays her teammates also seems to have noticed that she has accidentally lost her words for a while, and can't help but glare at her fiercely, but she is unwilling to reveal anything to this ill-intentioned guy.
"Hey, okay then, don't ask if you don't ask. ”
Seeing that Alex had raised her vigilance, she felt a little pity in her heart, but she was not reluctant, and stopped the idea of asking.
Well, there is no need to rush the study of this little girl, and there will be a day when I will understand this cunning little fox thoroughly.
When the time comes, you don't have to worry about what tricks this little girl is playing!
She pondered in her mind as she asked Alex again, "But, as you just said, what is the city of Wendelier, it's a long way from here, isn't it?, shall we continue to stay in this town for the night, or shall we leave immediately?"
Since her body was some kind of alchemy puppet, and her mobility was driven by the blood essence left behind by a powerful vampire prince, she didn't have the fatigue she felt when she was a human, and although her previous creature routine was still there, if she didn't rest and continued to walk, she wouldn't have any problems.
"Let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow. ”
Alexie's answer did not hesitate at all, seeing that she turned her head to look at herself, she thought about it, and explained to this guy: "Don't worry, for ordinary people, five days to rush to Wendelier City in the north is indeed a bit insufficient, but we are different. As long as it's not too slack, it can be reached in about three days at most!"
"Oh, then, why did you let that cat... Oh, you're going to let Leia give us a ride?"
She felt a little strange in her heart, but subconsciously she still thought that someone should be a cat, so she couldn't help but change her words in a hurry.
Not...... She couldn't be blamed for that, who had never seen the magic black cat in human form? because she couldn't imagine what it would be like!
"Hmph, stupid Natsu!"
Alexie glanced at her with disdain, and said a word lightly, but instead of speaking through the psychic connection, she spoke directly, and her voice was very crisp: "Do you miss that guy so much?"
“......”
She looked at this little girl a little speechlessly, innocently lying on the gun, and was hit by an arrow in the knee: Tsk, what kind of anger are you, little girl?
I'm just asking casually, it's not a big deal, right?
Could it be that the black cat is not only the friend of this little girl, but also her mortal enemy?
Not...... After all, the conversation between these two people just now seemed to be full of a strong smell of gunpowder!
She raised her eyebrows, as if she had found the source of the problem, and nodded secretly.
Seeing that she was silent, Alexie seemed to know that her reaction was a little too much, her lips pursed, and she returned to her expressionless appearance in front of her, and her eyes looked straight ahead: "Isn't the reason obvious?
"Why? Isn't it just to deal with the leader of the thieves called Alan Dikal and take back the 'Dream Crown' from him!"
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and her tone was a little expectant.
For a guy who claims to be a gold-level guy, she has really been obsessed with it for a long time!
"Isn't that it?"
Alexie glanced at the guy who was suddenly excited, his expression was a little strange, and he said in a quiet tone: "I'm not like you, I'm just a human being, and my body will feel tired!
"Uh... I see!"
She looked down at her alchemy doll body, but for the first time she was somewhat satisfied with it: it doesn't age, it doesn't get tired, it doesn't sleep, tsk, isn't this the perfect body that humans dream of?
Well, it's really the wrong gender, so I don't feel satisfied, right?
However, in terms of strength, this little girl seems to be lower than the other party, if she is not even in good shape, then she really doesn't have to fight with a certain leader of the thief group!
Thinking of this, she nodded a little approvingly, and slandered a certain ruthlessly departing guy: "Well, I probably understand! In this case, that black cat is indeed too unrighteous, obviously has friends who need help, but it actually turns a blind eye?"
"Hmph, it's good that you know!"
Alex seemed very satisfied with her conclusion, snorted and nodded in agreement.
"But 'astrologer' Shamil Rhodes, this man has the ability to predict the future?"
As she walked, she remembered a certain name that the little girl and the black cat had just talked about, and her heart was a little awe-inspiring.
After all, the art of prophecy is an incredible mysterious realm for her, and this magical world still exists?
Well, this kind of terrifying and weird guy is far more jealous than a certain blonde demon!
As if sensing the solemnity in her tone, Alexie couldn't help but glance at her with some curiosity, and looked a little meaningful: "Hmph, Xia! Our 'Witch's Hand' astrologer, she is a legendary-level powerful existence, predicting the location of the 'Dream Crown' or something, it is just a trivial matter for her!"
“......”
Well, you're actually trying to say that if she's going to predict my position, it's a trivial matter, right?
She could naturally hear the meaning of the little fox's words, and it was obvious that the little girl was deliberately warning her not to sneak away unknowingly and not to abide by the agreement between the two parties.
"Well, now that you know that the thief will arrive in Wendelier City in five days with the 'Dream Crown', do you know what the news represents, little girl?"
She pursed her lips and deliberately diverted the topic, politely using the question as a tribute to a certain magical girl.
"Oh, are you suggesting to me that the location between the city of Wendelier and the Mundra Valley is to deduce the direction of the thief and his destination, or the identity of the man who directed him to the thief behind his back?"
Hearing her words, Alex just held her chin with her right hand, looked at her slantedly, and asked in a somewhat playful tone.
“......”
Someone's face froze, and then there was a slight black line on his forehead, and he quickened his pace, leaving only this sentence: "Hey, I didn't say anything!"
She believed that if this cunning little fox beside her really had a tail, he would definitely wag very proudly by now!
Sure enough, behind her came the snorting of a little girl.
......
The two of them went back to the inn where they had booked their rooms, ate a little for dinner, and rested for the night.
Then, early the next morning, they rented two horses from a chamber of commerce in the town and set out to make their way to a city in the north.
Because, now that they know where the other party is about to arrive, all they have to do is wait for the rabbit.
