The purple glow that had shone on the night until a few seconds ago vanished as if it had never been.

In mid-air, the fierce wind rolled up by the pitch-black gap also became calm as the light faded.

"...... What the hell!

The bandit leader scolded and scolded, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

There were many subordinates around him watching, and he couldn't show his panic, so he could only pretend to be calm.

In fact, the bandit minions have no flawless consideration for the leader's gaffe, and they have long been frightened into despair.

"Little ones, there's nothing to be afraid of! Turn this place upside down, and let me scavenge all the valuable things! The rest of the women, as you like!"

The bandit leader pretended to be calm, opened his voice and gave orders, trying to drive away his men's cowardice with the benefits at his fingertips.

"Oo——!oo

Incentives like this can work quite well for thieves who are loyal to their instinctive simplicity.

The bandits left some of the men guarding the entrances and exits, and the rest were scattered around the lord's palace.

They strode through the vast mansions, plundering everything that came into view.

All the soldiers guarding were killed, and all that remained in the lord's palace were a few defenseless maids.

The bandits were not in a hurry to kill them, but like hide and seek, they forced the maids to flee in all directions.

They deliberately slow down and smash furniture along the way to make noise, in order to enjoy the thrill of cornering their prey while hunting.

So, at the end of the hallway, in the corner of the house, and even behind the closet door, you can always expect to find a woman curled up in a ball, shivering.

In the huge lord's palace, the terrible screams of women and the lewd laughter of the bandits echoed everywhere.

The whole building seems to have turned into a slaughterhouse, and there are tragedies everywhere that I can't bear to look at, as if in front of me-

On the stairs leading to the second floor, a twelve-year-old girl hit the steps with her toes in a panic and fell to the ground.

And just behind the girl, five thieves were pressing towards her with leisurely steps.

Not only were there humans, but there was also a half-orc and a goblin in between.

The half-orc who took the lead, he had a huge body of almost two and a half meters, rough muscles, and with just one palm, he pinched the girl's two thin arms, and easily pressed the girl to the ground and couldn't move.

In the orc's other hand, he carried a rusty dagger with which he tore through the girl's thin pajamas.

The rough movements did not have a trace of pity, and the fair skin was cut one after another gorgeous openings.

The stinging pain that came from time to time let the girl know that her body was constantly being cut by the tip of the knife.

"No...... No, don't hurt me...... let go...... Let go of me!please, please...... Please let me go!"

The girl screamed and pleaded, her face full of horror, and she could only keep swinging her body and struggling.

Her voice was also interrupted by the scalding pain, and became choppy.

But the insignificant resistance incited the sadistic heart of the orcs.

The orc excitedly dragged the girl off the ground, sticking out his tongue and licking the wounds on the girl's body.

The smell of blood flowing from the wound made a satisfied smile appear on the orc's face, and foul-smelling saliva continued to drip from the corners of his mouth.

The male's body odor, full of blood and sweat, almost suffocates the girl.

"Let's find a place to be merry!"

With that, the orc lifted his thick thigh, kicked open the door of a room on the other side of the stairs, and dragged the girl into the room like a rag, and the rest of the bandits swarmed in with the orc.

The bandits didn't break into an empty room.

In the room, two petite figures were faintly visible on the bed in the moonlight that leaked through the window.

It was a pair of little girls who were only about seven or eight years old and looked very similar.

The little girl's immature face was dotted with pretty features, but the sudden intruder made those lovely faces show a frightened look.

And then ...... -

"Uh......h Hmmm......"

When he came to his senses, the "boy" was lying on a soft mattress.

Underneath the buttocks was a strange bed that I had never seen before.

It is spacious and has a luxurious ceiling, which is a type that can only be seen in TV dramas.

[Opening her hazy sleepy eyes, the girl finds that it is not yet dawn.]

Some cold air leaked through the window into the bedroom.

The girl shivered slightly, and she wrapped the quilt tightly with her little hands, and the familiar smell coming from the tip of her nose reassured her a little. 】

The windows on the side of the wall are unglazed, and the strange wooden windows are half-open and half-hidden.

The night sky is full of stars, and the twinkling starlight converges into a galaxy of stunning beauty.

Just as the "boy" was fascinated by the starry sky, a noisy voice came from below, making his hazy consciousness clear.

[I don't know when, the window is ajar.]

I could see the starry sky that was commonplace outside the window, and the shining starlight drove away the girl's sleepiness.

The girl sat up slowly, leaning back against the leather mattress and rubbing her eyes. 】

"Wake up, sister. ”

A delicate voice sounded in his ears, and in the direction from which the voice came, the "boy" turned his head.

The face of a delicate and lovely girl who looks like a finely carved work of art jumps into view.

A beautiful and strange little girl looking at herself with a blank face.

- Who is ......?

[The call attracts the girl's attention.]

Next to him is the cute face he is familiar with, with two playful ponytails tied up on the side of his little head.

That's his blood relative, the last sister of the triplets. 】

"Sophia......?"

The boy whispered the strange girl's name incredulously, followed by a dull ache in his brain.

[The girl pronounced her sister's name lightly, but at the same time, a violent pain hit her brain. 】

"Sister Alice, what's wrong?"

- Who is Alice?

The teenager's mind was in a mess, and the sense of incongruity lingered.

[—Alice El Crusnier.] That's right, this is the girl's name, the daughter of the lord of the city of Celeria, the eldest of the triplets.

The vivid memories of seven and a half years since her birth made the girl naturally draw conclusions. 】

The boy tried to stretch out his hands and put them in front of his eyes, but they stunned him.

I can't help but ask myself - is this really my own hand?

There are no refined muscles that have been tempered for thousands of years, and there are no raised bones like murder weapons.

No matter how you look at it, it's very different from the memory of your own arm.

[The girl stretches out her hands blankly and stares blankly.]

The delicate and flawless skin like white jade, and the slender arms that seem to break if you exert yourself too much, are wrapped in the cuffs of silky pajamas.

No matter how you look at it, this is familiar, belonging to the arm of a noble girl. 】

- This is ...... My body?

[This is, my body ......]

"Uh......h Yes...... It hurts ......!"

Teenage [Girl] - Alice tries to find some clues to dig up her last memories, but in exchange for the ever-increasing pain and confusion.

He [she] involuntarily hugged his head and let out a groan of pain.

Sophia, the younger sister beside her, grabbed the corner of Alice's clothes, and her eyes were full of worry.

That's when —

With a rude bang, the bedroom door was forced open.

I saw an orc more than two meters tall rushing through the door.

In the hands of the orcs, the figure that was forcibly dragged into the room was a figure familiar to Alice.

That's Selena, the maid who has been in charge of the lives of the three sisters.

She was being roughly dragged to the floor by the orcs, and her once fresh and hearty smile was now gone.

Rika Rain's face was full of humiliation and fear, and all she was covered were torn pajamas and shocking scars.

Selena's tragic situation made Alice's heart tremble, and she subconsciously hugged her sister Sophia tightly in her arms.

Afraid, it's helpless, after all, Alice is just a young child.

The sudden violent scene overwhelmed her.

Behind the orc, several other men poured into the bedroom with him.

The men were dressed in dirty leather armor and carried rudimentary but hideous weapons.

"Yo roar! let Lao Tzu pick up the treasure! There is such a cute little girl!"

One of them, after noticing Alice and Sophia on the bed, let out a shrill cheer and rushed to the side of the bed.

"Come on~little kitten~~Don't be afraid~~ Let Lao Tzu love you gently~!Who should you choose first~~Giggle~~"

The man with the scar on his cheek glanced back and forth at the two young girls with a licking gaze.

Finally, he extended his dirty palm to Sophia, who was snuggled up to Alice's chest.

However, the man was not as gentle as he said, and grabbed Sophia's hair to the side very roughly, pulled her out of the bed, and threw her against the wall.

Poor Sophia didn't even have time to scream before she stopped moving in the onslaught.

The scene unfolding in front of her made Alice only feel that a string had been broken in her mind.

The intolerable atrocities ignited the anger in the chest of the "boy".

[Seeing her sister lose consciousness, bitterness and sadness made the "girl" tremble. 】

- Quay.

There was a crisp sound like this.

The scarred man's outstretched arm ultimately failed to touch the unconscious Sophia.

Because his outstretched wrist was twisting in a completely different direction, at an incredible angle.

However, before the sharp pain of the bone being twisted could reach the brain, the subsequent blow hit the man's jaw.

The cervical vertebrae, which supported the head, could not withstand the force of a cannonball, and broke off on the spot.

A second ago, Alice, an aristocratic little girl in a pink nightgown, flew in front of the man with a sharp movement that even she couldn't believe.

The girl's originally beautiful and soft face was being distorted by intense disgust and anger.

She squatted her lower limbs half-way, her legs were spread back and forth, her right arm was straightened, and her palm was turned upside down.

And just now, it was such a palm that cost the life of a man who was dozens of times stronger than himself.

Alice El Cruznier - she is not the "teenager" she once was.

Alice El Crusnier - she is the "girl" in front of her.

Snow-white research room.

Bullet marks from pistols.

A body engulfed by bright light.

There is also a cursed out-of-tune melody.

The vivid sight rushed through the brain as if it had been electrocuted.

Then, the memories belonging to the "boy" poured into the consciousness of "Alice" like a wave of bursting embankment.

At this moment, an indescribable warmth gushed out from the dantian and continued to fill the whole body.

Alice only felt that her whole body was so light that she couldn't feel the weight, and the weak limbs of the little girl were now bursting with endless strength.

That power, as a result, turned into the current situation.

Alice's palm sent back the brittle feel of the bones, and the man collapsed with a thud.

This slap brought Alice an incredible sense of comfort.

Even in the heyday of "Youth", I never experienced it.

It's just like what is depicted in the novel, when you practice the peerless magic skills, the "internal strength" runs through the muscles and veins, and the "true qi" swims all over the whole body.

In the past, "true qi" and "internal strength" were basically fictional concepts, which only existed in the world of martial arts novels.

In reality, even a grandmaster who is proficient in martial arts, including his father, can only vaguely penetrate some fur at most.

And now, what was thought to be a fictional "qi" and "energy" has converged into a clear torrent, surging through the acupoints and meridians in Alice's body.

Under its influence, Alice's physical abilities were incredibly enhanced.

Just from the rough estimation of the palm just now, the power of the move is probably hundreds of times that of the "juvenile" period.

The man's companions didn't have time to comprehend what was happening in front of them, and they all froze in place, staring blankly at the girl who suddenly became troubled.

But then, their gaze couldn't catch up with Alice's wind-like figure, and the distance between them instantly zeroed.

The swift kick exploded in the abdomen of the second man, the diminutive goblin.

The goblin that was attacked did not move for the next few seconds, which made the companions around him feel happy.

thinks that after all, it is just a little girl's powerless struggle, and it is unlikely to cause much trauma.

The man before was probably unfortunate enough to hit something, so he was unlucky enough to fall into a coma.

But until, the iron rod in the goblin's hand slipped to the ground, and before he could even scream, he "plopped" to the ground.

Bobo's blood and the remnants of his internal organs were spurting out of the goblin's mouth and nose, proving that the kick was powerful enough to shatter all the internal organs.

Seeing this, the orc who reacted the fastest hurriedly left the maid in his hand, and he brandished the short sword in his hand and launched a counterattack towards the girl.

A little slower than him, and the rest of his companions followed suit.

Three sharp weapons slashed haphazardly at Alice's body.

The orc who struck first, his short sword failed to hit the target, and his wrist was firmly grasped in the air.

His right hand seemed to be swept into an irreversible force, and uncontrollably went in the opposite direction.

Because it was too short a moment, the orc only felt dazzled, and from the blade came the feeling of skin and flesh.

Then, after two brief screams, the two companions beside him fell one after another.

Only then did the orcs realize that it was the short sword in their own hands, which left a fatal knife wound in their throat.

Panic and surprise had only just crossed his mind, and the sharp pain from his ribs being broken and piercing his lungs became the orc's last memory.

Ten seconds, just less than ten seconds, the five strong bandits all died.

But Alice, the author of this tragedy, did not even glance at the corpses of the bandits, and hurried to the unconscious Sophia, and helped her sister up with a concerned expression.

Twelve-year-old maid, Selena was lucky to be rescued.

But Selena couldn't digest what had happened a few seconds ago.

Just now, the aristocratic lady who I am familiar with, who has grown up together since childhood and has been serving, is in front of my eyes, like pinching to death ants, easily killing the bandits who are trying to violate him.

Compared with the peace of mind of being rescued, the indescribable fear is superior.

"Selena ......"

"Huh......!?"

Alice called softly, but the maid trembled and let out a mournful scream.

"Who are these guys?"

"No, I don't know! They broke in out of the blue, there were dozens of them! I, I just wanted to run for my life! Downstairs, there are still a lot of ......!"

"Really...... So, where is Elize?"

Alice followed her memories and remembered that her sister wasn't just Sophia.

There is also a sister named Elize, who should have slept in the same bed as him, but since just now, he has disappeared.

"No, I don't know...... After entering the house, there are only the eldest lady and the third lady, and the second lady is ...... It's not in ......."

Serious state of affairs.

Whatever the reason, Ariza was not in the bedroom, so she must have left the room.

Recalling Selena's recent tragedy, the unsettling thoughts that made Alice keep flashing through her mind.

After silently carrying Sophia back to the bed and caressing her sister's hair, Alice silently walked towards the door.

"Miss Alice......! What to do?"

"Needless to say? El Riez, of course...... And, by the way, slaughtered the accomplices of this group of beasts. ”

Alice spat out a rude remark that did not match the aristocratic temperament.

After a pause, he softened his tone again, and after answering the sentence "Help me take care of Sophia", he stepped out of the room.

Alice had no intention of taking the stairs, so she jumped over the railing of the stairs on the second floor with one hand, completely ignoring the height of nearly ten meters.

Looking at the back of the falling in the dim candlelight, Selena couldn't say anything.

In her eyes, the familiar master, the gentle and elegant girl, no longer exists, replaced by a fierce beast possessed by anger.
