No matter how anxious the piper may be, he has to leave it until the next day. Maybe it was asked before, and the question of his own memory has some eyebrows, and after the meal, Alice was called to the study by Oz.

This...... It's really a place where "not everyone can come in", in other words, if Liz also has qualifications, then she really gets a lot of convenience as a maid in this room. Free access to various rooms, occasionally you can see some research results, but unfortunately...... Rei's lifeless eyes made her seem uninterested in this knowledge.

Hurriedly poured the tea, Li, who was standing in the study, looked unnaturally at the books on the bookshelf for a while, and then closed the door lightly and left. The candlelight from the candlestick reflected a long shadow of Alice, which kept jumping with the candlelight, fragile and unreal.

"Are you coming?"

Oz's voice rang out from behind the heavy bookshelves, and he slowly walked out of the corner out of the candlelight while holding the book, "What about the others?"

"It's been rested. ”

The fatigue of the journey, even if you lie down for a morning, it is impossible to relieve all of it, especially after you feel at ease, the fatigue accumulated before will come out together. I'm afraid that only Alice, who is worried about memory problems, can't sleep.

"Teacher, what are you going to talk about today, is that what happened?"

"Well, although there is not much time, I still found some eyebrows. ”

After a pause, Oz said, "Do you remember how I explained the state that appeared in you before I left?"

"Hmm...... Of course, I can't forget this. I've used oversized magic.,But because of mental and other reasons, I haven't kept up with these aspects.,That's why there's a sense of déjà vu.。 ”

Alice nodded, though with some surprise. But it also makes sense. If you don't use this method similar to "sealing" to "reduce" your memory a little, I'm afraid that with your own mental power at that time, you will inevitably become a fool. This spontaneous "protection" in the body cannot be rejected and is not suitable for rejection.

So, the strange part is here, why she was just a poor little girl at that time. The power of the spirit represents the power of the human brain, and the human brain contains almost unlimited potential, and even such a potential is tapped and needs to be protected, so how huge should this "magic" be.

At least...... Alice had never heard of such a dangerous thing existing.

"The human brain contains a huge amount of spirit, and it is unlikely that anyone can take it to the extreme. Magic, on the other hand, evolved from the spirit and was already included in the spirit, so it was unlikely that the magic would be so large as to affect the spirit. Oz spoke slowly. "So, I think...... Most likely not due to magical influences, but to psychic influences. ”

"Spirit?"

Alice subconsciously touched her head, although she was a little overconfident, she really didn't think she had any mental problems now. I used my magic well before, and I saved Ophelia's life, how could there be a mental problem.

"That's right, spirit. Of course, it's not that you're mentally missing, eh...... I guess it's the exact opposite. ”

That means...... What's the extra thing?"

"That's right. Another thing that contains more spiritual energy has descended on your present spirit, but its degree is still too large compared to your current capacity, so it has evolved into self-protection similar to amnesia, and as your experience is enriched a little bit, you see another spiritual thing and so on, and little by little it surfaces. The more important things are to you. The more impressions you make. Spirit, can only be pressured with spirit, it is possible to make it protect itself, this is the only explanation similar to your situation. ”

"But the teacher...... What is the other spirit?"

Not crazy. Not stupid, now Alice still remembers her own name well, and there has never been any strange personality in her head, although she occasionally meets some familiar people, but ...... At the very least, the companions you should know should be kept in mind. If this "other spirit" really exists in my head, then ...... The similarity with the spirit of the original self is too high. It's like being in the ......

Yes...... No, that's right.

"There are two possibilities, the first one is so big that you won't even think about it subconsciously, but Alice, such a huge spirit will not come to you casually. The second kind of words ......"

Oz fell silent and looked at Alice with burning eyes, "Looks like you've got it." ”

"Hmm...... The second ...... Maybe it's just me. ”

It is not the past, but the "self" that has come back from the future in some way, and it has descended on the present body, because it can be regarded as "one's" body, and the spirit can be regarded as "one's" spirit, so oneself will not perceive anything more than one doubt. However, since she came back from the "future", what she saw, saw, and heard must be far more than her current self, so it is entirely possible that she had a vague memory before.

The other self is not good at living, why bother to run back? and...... How the hell did she come back?

"Perhaps, it was a time-related magic that forcibly sent her back. Oz sighed, "It's nice to know that any of you can use that kind of magic, but ...... It's also a little too risky. Alice, do you remember when you started feeling unusual?"

"Anomalous...... Oh, that's the day!"

Alice exclaimed, "That's when we were studying in Perry's Garden. ”

Although she is not strong, Alice is still very confident in her energy, and suddenly she falls asleep all day, and when she wakes up, she feels a little strange to her companions, and that time is probably the time when another spirit comes. ”

Use magic that sounds impossible. It's ...... to come back to this time at all costs The other self, what kind of calculations do you make?

......

"And now, how much do you remember?"

"Hmm......"

Rabbits, cats, these are necessary. Ophelia and the rat who had suddenly picked up the cart also seemed familiar. But...... It seems that there is more than that, and he seems to be looking for something, not only the four of them, but who else...... It seems that there is something more important to be found, and that seems to be the purpose of the company.

"Hey, old man, it's counterproductive for you to ask like that. ”

At some point, the yawning dormouse had already supported Alice, who was shaking a little, and this time Alice didn't even deliberately call. She had already slipped out of the book and stared straight at Oz.

"You...... I've heard your name. ”

Oz looked at the dormouse, "It seems that you are a well-known soothsayer among the subhuman race, have you also entered Alice's book?"

"Old man, I don't know what your reaction is, but this is my fate as I see it. This kid is the person I'm looking for, and she doesn't seem to have fully regained her memory yet, old man. Do you have any eyebrows?"

"Hey, don't be so rude to the teacher. ”

Pulling the dormouse's cloth ears to the side. Alice explained to Oz as best she could the memories she had so far. Although I have a little impression of all kinds of people, it can be said that these are the corners and corners of memory, and the "purpose" that Alice wants to know is still not at all.

"It's normal, and the purpose is the root cause of why you've gone to great lengths to get here. ”

After listening to Alice's slightly anxious explanation, Oz said, "The purpose includes a lot of spirit. Therefore, it is reasonable to be buried the deepest. Not only will blind digging have little effect, but it may even affect your memory. So...... Break the outer layer of the wrapping little by little, and finally you will be able to remember. ”

"Teacher ......"

"Let's go and rest first, there are important things waiting for you tomorrow. ”

......

That night, Perry.

Perry, who hurried to the scene with a "car" like a dragon, did not see his father as he wished. The servants only gave a rough idea. Perry, who was in a frustrated mood, accidentally leaned against his room and fell asleep, and didn't wake up in a hurry until late at night.

Of course...... No matter how you look at it, it's too late, but even so, Perry has a reason to bother his father no matter what.

"Excuse me, father. ”

Hurriedly pushed open the door of the study, as Perry, he naturally didn't have to care about other people's eyes or restrictions on movement, his father was sitting quietly by the candlestick reading the book, until he saw the anxious Perry slowly put down the book.

"Honeymoon, it looks like it's people off?"

"It's not time for jokes! Perry, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only express his anxiety by rudely slapping the table, "I have something very important to report to you. ”

"As for why you came back so soon?" the old king stood up, finally retracting the smile on his face, "Man, I guess I haven't found it." ”

"No, because something has happened and we have to come back quickly. ”

Perry took a deep breath and began to tell the whole story that had been organized so many times in his heart. The pipers who appeared in Ophelia were mostly orcs who had been controlled and injured and had to jump into traps and ...... The likely reaction of the other party after this.

Judging from the experience and knowledge that Perry now has, this is no longer a one-sided "assassination" problem, which certainly exists, but the other side seems to want to use the false "facts" of that night to provoke some kind of dispute. Of course...... For the two communities, which are still in the armistice stage, this dispute is to tear up the agreement and start a war.

Although not afraid of war, ...... Perry didn't want things to turn into war, even if it was all against him.

"That's the way it is, father. You ......"

"Are you telling the truth?" said the old king's face suddenly strange, "because the other party was manic and defended himself, and fled all the way out of the city. Are you doing these things?"

"That's true, but my father ...... You ......"

"Actually, in the morning, before you returned, a messenger came and told me about it, of course...... The 'facts' they say are completely different from what you just said. ”

Emissary...... Ah, has the messenger already arrived!? It's too fast!

"The other party is not human, so it is not surprising that they have such speed. In short, the other party's account is that one of our knights slaughtered hundreds of innocent ordinary orcs in one night, and it asks me for an explanation. ”

"Those guys are in a rage!" Perry blurted out, "but ...... The knight is indeed from my side. But not White, but another one he met during his travels. ”

I didn't answer it right away, because I didn't know what the facts were. But if that's what you're saying, it looks like they're trying to stir up a dispute with that. ”

"Father's ......"

"Hehe, if you don't believe your son's words, I don't have to be a father. The old king grinned happily, "Moreover, the attitude of the other party is indeed a little strange, as if he is forcing our side to admit it." It should still be living in the inn now, Perry ......"

"Ah...... We rushed over immediately. Without any hesitation, Perry replied.

A war is not a duel, it is not an incident that can be provoked by throwing a glove depending on who is unhappy, a war between countries needs a reason, and although the side that occupies the reason is not an advantage, it is at least sufficient in terms of confidence, and the weak side is bound to be affected in morale. If the orcs deliberately intended to go to war, then the false "facts" represented by those corpses could be a good reason to go to war. After all, ordinary people are innocent everywhere, and simple and united orcs are more likely to be angry because of this kind of thing.

That being said, the mind of the guy who can come up with such a way is really not an ordinary distortion. And...... She must have known herself, and she had known her arrival for a long time. The person who plays the flute does not have the impression that such a guy exists, perhaps......

"Now, father. ”

Perry, who hurriedly followed the old king, asked aloud, "You...... Do you have any impressions? For the magic that needs to be played with a flute. (To be continued.) )
