"Now, Irina, how long is that guy going to be here?"

On the other hand, Alice and Irina, who had encountered something unpleasant, had no chance to pay attention to the story of the little mermaid at all, and now all their minds were focused on the things in front of them.

It's a dangerous witch who comes, and there must be no need for any "insiders", most of whom even ordinary people can detect each other's abnormalities. If all her overly gloomy outfit is still within the acceptable range, then ......

What is really hard to accept is her magic.

Even Alice, a hatter who thinks she already has powerful magic, is afraid that she can't grasp the time as well as the witch who suddenly arrives. The Hatter's control over time doesn't seem to be so deep, and stagnant time strikes everyone it can reach indiscriminately, while the rest of the animals seem to be able to move through time only because they have made their moves before the time stagnation that they are already familiar with, and enemies who are suddenly awakened from time will naturally feel that they can move through time.

But all this is just an illusion, because the real control of time, I am afraid ...... Alice and Irina have seen it more intuitively.

There's no juggling or skill, and there's no need for props or weapons, and the dangerous guy just walks along...... It's enough to stagnate around. Flowers, trees, and even the animals that Irina had been tempting to tempt all stopped there as if they had been turned into stone statues. In such a situation, all you can do is run away, or else...... Even when it actually fell, it would not remember what had just happened.

"I don't know...... Still, is that clear?"

Irina, who was sitting on the broomstick, turned her head, "Prince Perry, the reason why you can't wake up. ”

"Ahh ”

That's right, because of time. Moreover, more or less what does it really have to do with the enemy this time. Dangerously, she is able to manipulate the flow of time, and the sleeping Prince Perry maintains a state as if he has been "left" by time.

It breathes, it can survive, but it never wakes up. Time can't keep his body, but it can take away his spirit, Miradoro said that no matter how powerful Aladdin is, it's just a magic from a "story" in a book, so ...... This is also the reason why Miradorolu rejected Sister Yu's wish in the first place.

Trouble, if you really have something to do with such a guy, it's not something that ordinary magicians can do at all. Maybe now...... Should I go back to Miradoro for help at once?, she must be at the apex...... I won't fall into this extremely unfair battle like ordinary people.

"Just what now?"

“...... Walk. ”

Irina turned the broom as she spoke, but after her advance had deviated a little, the tension had turned to helplessness.

"Although I want to...... But, it seems that I can't go. ”

"Let's go...... Can't go?"

Following Irina's line of sight, Alice, who was still urging her companions to leave quickly, was immediately dumbfounded.

Just below, the witch who suddenly disappeared and never appeared was now on her way back, looking at the sky with her gloomy eyes. She, when did she appear!?

No, the idea of the average person probably doesn't apply to this guy at all, not so much when she "appears" in the rear, but ...... At what point did he unconsciously fall into the corridor of time, and it wasn't until this moment that he really walked out.

"What should I do......" Alice secretly looked at the witch below, and at the same time leaned into Irina's ear, the feeling of being bound by time was very annoying, and God knows if she had eaten magic again.

"Break through or ......"

"Stay. ”

After muttering, Irina also controlled the broom to slowly land, and the witch's appearance gradually became clearer, but the gloomy feeling became thicker. It's like a shell wrapped around her, something that can't be blown away no matter how much you blow it.

After all, do you still have to face this guy? If the guess is right, she should be the one that Miradoro is reluctant to reveal and Sister Yu rarely mentions, which belongs to the "taboo" between witches. Although he has a sense of weakness that has experienced vicissitudes, he ...... It must not be taken lightly.

"Hello...... Young magician. ”

However, contrary to expectations, this "forbidden" witch did not make the imaginary "hostile" moves, although even if she was just greeting, it was so full of danger.

"Hey...... Hey, there. ”

Alice bypassed Irina, for her and her cohabitants, it has always been Alice who has always been involved in "communication", and Irina, who is expressionless and often silent, is really not suitable to be such a "diplomat".

"Excuse me......"

Even if it's pretending, at least...... Let's find a way to get out of this witch's eyes. She's so dangerous that she even ...... It's even worse than Miradoro, which has become weird.

"Excuse me...... Who are you. ”

"A traveler who remembered an old friend on the way to his travels wanted to pay a visit. ”

The witch closed her eyes, but even if they were open, Alice couldn't see anything in them. In it, it seems that there is a quagmire of time, swallowing and burying all the feelings in her heart.

The dangerous witch who is listed as a "taboo", why she came, and the identities of the two "little guys" in front of her, all this is unknown. Maybe it's true, maybe it's ...... It's just acting.

"You ...... Can you show me the way? In exchange, I can ...... Make one of your wishes come true. ”

Wish!?Isn't this guy ......

No, absolutely not, there has never been a second witch in the world of magicians who can grant her wishes, Miradoro, and she alone can do something that is close to a miracle.

"We refuse. ”

Instead of Alice, who was stunned, Irina coldly said that the witch was about to continue with the "temptation." "We don't have a wish now, and we don't need to fulfill it." ”

"Ah, of course we don't know who you're looking for. ”

Alice, who reacted, hurriedly added, "We're just...... Tourists only. ”

Wish, indeed, is so attractive, but when the magic that was originally placed in Miradoro's place will become very "delicious", it has a taste of conspiracy when it is spoken by the witch in front of her. At least...... No one with the slightest sensibility would choose to make a wish on such a witch, I'm afraid...... Only some people who are carried away by urgent desires will rush to beg for her help.

Like what...... The merfolk who missed the prince.

"That'...... Please accept this bouquet. The witch's closed eyes finally opened, still so godless, still so gloomy, and she seemed to give up after looking into the distance.

"If you ...... If you meet someone who you think is the right person, please give him this bouquet of flowers. ”

If...... No, it's not if! This woman knows her identity!? What is the right person, as long as there is no problem with the head, ordinary people will not ask for such a request.

However, now that she knows the identities of these "weaklings" in front of her, why does the witch seem to have chosen the option of "leaving"? is it because she is afraid of Miradoro, or is it just because she is bored? or......

What bad scheme poured out of her quagmire-like eyes?

“...... I'll try my best. ”

The brilliant white flower suddenly fell on Alice's hand, and the abrupt and instantaneous appearance was not a trick at all, and this is probably ...... The result of time. Damn, that's why magic like time is so annoying, because even if you're so enchanted, the miserable bunny won't notice it. Everything must be done according to the user's preferences and according to the process she has arranged.

"Thank you. ”

The witch bowed deeply, and then disappeared abruptly in front of Alice's eyes. As before, it was still silent, without warning, as if the conversation was just a remnant of the past.

The dangerous witch just left, leaving behind an insignificant request and ...... A bunch of unexplained doubts.

"Now, Irina, will you go back now?"

Alice was holding the flowers in her hand, which were exactly the same variety as those cultivated in the Sanctuary, and it was obvious that this bouquet of flowers was ...... The witch was going to give it to Perry.

Is the enemy sending flowers? What is the meaning of this, if it is just a tribute, it would be too unpleasant.

"Give this flower to the knight, and at least inform Miradoro-sama ......"

"No...... There's a hassle to deal with first. ”

Irina shook her head, interrupting Alice's thoughts, and she pointed in the direction she went back.

The owner of the voice gradually approached, and Sister Yu, who was running aimlessly while wiping her tears, appeared in Alice's sight. She...... Didn't she go and make a wish to Miradorous, who seemed to have woken up, and seemed willing to tell her all the "truth" about Prince Perry.

Failed? No...... Even if she fails, the more mature Sister Yu will never make such a childish move like Xiaoyu.

What the hell is this...... What's going on.
