"Actually, if you want to take a bath, it's very simple, now that it's raining, you can just strip naked and accept the baptism of rain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "I don't have back pain when I stand and talk...... Anyway, it wasn't himself who fell into the soup, and Alice, who fell into the well, was full of smiles and no pressure.

Well, not so serious. Trench coat...... It doesn't matter if it's dirty.

Neve was speechless as he wiped the mud stains from his trench coat with a handkerchief, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Holding her umbrella, Alice stopped.

The road ahead is blocked by a deep chasm. The suspension bridge between the chasm broke at some point.

At this time, of course, it is necessary to turn around and go back the way you came, looking for another way.

"Eh, can't you go?" said Neve said she could fly, and she could use her magic to carry Alice there.

"The greatest pleasure of travel is to go with the flow, and it's not fun to use magic to cross barricades. Speaking lightly, Alice had already turned back.

“...... Is that so. Neve thought for a moment.

However, looking back and choosing another path, the same is the ending.

Some roads were washed away by mudslides, some roads were flooded by rising floods, and some roads were washed away by mudslides...... Malice from the world?

The two of them walked all the way they could, and it seemed that they couldn't get out of the area.

The umbrella Alice held in her hand couldn't help but start spinning, as if thinking.

"Or ...... Fly?" Neve, who was walking impatiently, cautiously suggested.

At this time, not far behind him, in the wind and rain, a carriage slowly drove by.

It seems that after the driver of the carriage spotted Alice and Neve on the side of the road, the coachman heard the words of the owner of the carriage at the same time, and pulled the reins in his hand, causing the carriage to come to a slow stop.

"Excuse me, do the two beautiful ladies need shelter from the rain?" asked the coachman as the carriage stopped beside Alice and Neve.

"Yes. Without waiting for Neve to say anything, Alice had already answered. "Can yours keep us sheltered from the rain?" asked with a smile.

"Yes...... Yes. "Isn't that too polite? It's the first time the driver has ever met such a person.

"Can we do it in the carriage too?" Alice looked at the window.

"Yes. ”

"Aren't you afraid we'll make your carriage dirty?" Alice asked with a smile as she reached out and pulled the stunned Neve over. Neve, who was covered in mud and water, stood out at the moment...... It's still too much of a concern.

“...... Miss is polite. "Well, it's not the coachman himself who washes the carriage anyway. The coachman didn't care.

Well, so. So what are you waiting for.

"Go up. Alice put away her umbrella and said without looking back.

"......" Neve did not move.

"......?" Alice, who was about to get into the car, glanced back, and the latter was a little stunned.

"Ahh

As for what Neve was thinking.

- It turns out that Alice did not ignore herself.

For that alone, Neve was delighted.

.....................

The interior of the carriage was very ordinary, unpainted. The cushions were well padded, and a small oil lamp added a little light to the dim carriage.

In the carriage sat an elegant man in a white suit with one-sided glasses and reading a classical book. "My name is Lofen, please Miss name. ”

"Alice. Giving Neve the umbrella and sitting across from the man, Alice smiled back.
