Guards, entourage, identification and registration, temporary seizure of dangerous goods...... After a series of tedious procedures, Alice and her party really visited empty-handed. Not only were the most important books taken down, but everything that seemed to be dangerous had to be handed over temporarily.

Moreover, this is still the "convenient result" brought by Letty after using the "right of hearing" that only a few nobles have, so it is conceivable that if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that there is no chance to even get to this point.

After being arranged in the so-called "interview room", Alice, who had just sat down, immediately stood up and jumped up, if it weren't for the current situation and occasion, I'm afraid she would have exploded a long time ago.

The gold-rimmed teacup and amber tea have an intoxicating aroma, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is a treasure among treasures. The tables and chairs with various patterns do not look like they were made in a hurry, but are works of art that have been carefully crafted by craftsmen and masters. The wallpaper around it is embroidered with romantic patterns, which look like it's not just a decoration, but a whole house that tells an ancient story.

Lovers meet, get along, love each other, hate each other, kill each other...... The painter of the wallpaper does not mind or worry about depicting the beautiful, hot, ashamed, terrifying, bloody, and sad pictures one by one, and all these are only the first sights, and what kind of deep meaning is hidden in them is not something that the "guests" who stay here for a while can understand.

"What a beautiful ......"

Letty stood there as if she was stunned, and unconsciously reached out of her handkerchief and began to wipe her eyes.

It's just some wallpaper paintings, is it necessary to be so emotionally rich that you cry?

"Hey, stupid Letty, don't cry. ”

As if to keep herself from being seduced by everything here, Alice shook her head and dragged Letty, who was immersed in an unknown imagination, to her side. Letty, who was just about to get angry, seemed to realize something immediately, and her expression became serious.

"Is there really no problem here? not only books, but also other inconsequential things, and meeting the king is not so tedious. ”

"Oh......"

Perhaps considering the current situation, Letty, who originally wanted to laugh at her, changed her tone stiffly, "Alice, you are also a native magician, there is no reason not to even know this." In the city of Majette, there are a few witches whose status is indeed higher than that of the king, although it is not suitable for my status, but in my opinion, the king is only responsible for explaining the events, and the real leaders are still the witches. ”

"Hah...... I don't care much about that. Alice frowned.

Since it's a question that even a fool like Letty can understand, it seems that there must be no element of deception. In addition, even if it is just common sense, it is not difficult to think about who the real "noble" characters should be in this fairy tale world full of magic.

"But I do know that Ms. Rosie seems to be very respected. ”

"Hmph, that's inevitable, so every time I see you making trouble, I want to poke your rabbit ears off with my sword. ”

Letty snorted haughtily, "The holder of The Wizard of Oz is Lady Rosie, she has built a 'border' for all magicians to resist the erosion of the outside world, so she is also the 'wall' of chess. The one we're about to meet is the strongest, and the decision-maker here, the 'Queen' witch Lady Miradoro, who holds a terrifying book that I don't need to explain to you and your silly rabbit. ”

"Of course not, I'm not stupid enough to forget what I'm here to do. ”

"In addition, the 'soldiers' seem to be represented by two knightly magicians, and I can only glimpse them from a distance on the more important scenes, and the nobles say that they seem to be guarding important places like 'soldiers', so they can't be seen frequently. It is said that the 'knight' once single-handedly repelled the magician who was planning to sneak in, and it seems that it was an elven witch who was not human, but unfortunately I never paid respect to her. ”

“...... It's complicated. ”

Unlike her fellow companions, who listened intently to what Letty had to say, Alice felt only a little irritation at the various code names of the "witches". But it is precisely because of this "outsider" attitude that Alice immediately discovered something abnormal.

"Now, stupid Letty...... There must be two witches, right?"

The walls of the castle are also chariots, and there are queens, soldiers, and knights, so there should be a witch representing the "king" and "bishop".

"This ...... These two ......"

Letty froze, but Alice didn't bother to pay attention to what the stupid Letty had to say next. Like Irina, who was alert, Alice, who was as sharp as a rabbit, finally sensed the smell of something wrong wafting into the house.

Tobacco, incense, floral...... A mixture of excessively flavors mixed with majesty and magnanimity was conveyed to him, at least not before he entered this interview room. That's the same level of "feeling" as Ms. Rosie, at least the so-called maid and the like don't have.

Call...... It seems that the main drama is finally here!

"Those two ordinary people won't know, because they haven't officially appeared yet. ”

The one who can grant other people's wishes...... As the witch of the "Queen", the pungent but intoxicating smoke gradually becomes stronger, and Miradoro, whom Alice and her party have to see at great cost, walks in with majestic steps.

Except for Alice and Irina, who had not moved because of the previous coercion, the rest of them all reflexively stood up.

"There is no need for so much etiquette, little girls, I have no interest in any of this. ”

The witch with a smoking gun in her hand, which is obviously a bit too "old-fashioned", is enough to prove that Miradorolu's actual age probably does not match the girl's appearance. The long black dress fits neatly to the body, and the black hair that drags to the ground may also contribute a lot to Miradorolu's majestic temperament. In her other hand, she was holding the black book that was known to all, and the story that would fascinate any magical fascination was naturally hidden in it, waiting for its owner to call.

Although I was prepared, it was really ...... I was taken aback. I was already pressed when I first met, so is it really possible to ask Miradoro for a chance to make her wish come true?

"Whew, let me take a look. Hans Christian Andersen's eldest daughter, Alice's second daughter, and...... Three interesting little girls. ”

With a smile that saw through everything, Miradoro took an unhurried puff of her cigarette, and slowly looked at each immature "visitor" surrounded by the white smoke and the fragrance of the cigarette she brought. Her red eyes shimmered, bloody, funny, mocking...... Each one is an emotion that cannot be easily understood.

"The 'right of hearing' can only be used by Hans Christian Andersen's eldest daughter, so what is the 'personal request' that you do not hesitate to come in the name of your family?"
