How many days have passed since I became a "trainee"? Compared with the original dull study life, the days as a "magician" are far more arduous and troublesome, not only in terms of physical exercise and "reprimand", but also mentally to withstand the considerable pressure brought by this "duty", after all, Ms. Rosie's "strictness" is still enough to make people drink a pot.

In fact, all of this is acceptable to Alice, who is not pampered, but it really makes it difficult for her, or is it ...... Helplessly, about the camouflage that needs to be made for the next "infiltration" plan. It was not as a "magic messenger", but as a "girl", and I wanted to refuse it.

Of course...... How could it be possible to refuse to drop, because it was a must.

"No, 'disguises' like makeup can be seen almost at a glance. ”

Obviously, Rosie declined Alice's request with Letty almost without hesitation. The two magicians, still in the age of the "Flower Girls", hope to be able to complete the mission with minimal loss, but the path has apparently been blocked long ago.

Just putting on makeup, changing a hairstyle, or something can't "fundamentally" change a person, so ......

"You're not going on a trip, you're going to dive into a 'world' that is completely hostile to us, do you think beauty is more important than life?"

Not...... Indeed, putting aside a male painter who only knows beauty, life is the most important thing, after all, only by living can there be a future.

"It's also for your safety. ”

Yes. In fact, everyone understands it all too well. Ms. Rosie, who has always loved her students. How could it not be possible to find a way to ensure the safety of the children. It's just that......

"So don't have objections. Once the Courier arrives with the medicine made by Madame Green, you will be able to disguise yourself completely. ”

It's just that...... The "special potion" that Ms. Rosie asked Mrs. Green to make for this is really a little too terrifying.

"Hah...... All right. ”

Alice sighed, and lowered her head helplessly, without the pair of "rabbit ears", her whole person looked a little listless. Of course, there's much more to the preparation than just taking off the iconic accessory and taking care of it. The glowing blonde hair had also been blown into the forest by the wind not long ago, and the close-fitting and lovely dress was now probably asleep in the box, and if it weren't for the lingering charm in the corners of her eyes and cheeks, at first glance anyone would have thought that Alice was just a little shorter orthodox little aristocrat.

That's right, the difference now is that Mrs. Green's "special medicine" that has been made and is being sent by the messenger, its effect is to make up for this last bit of "girl-like" defects, so that Alice can completely have all the characteristics of a "boy" in a short period of time.

Even the gender has been changed, so that such a fundamental pretense is almost impossible to break. Of course, it is not without side effects, and its side effects are......

The psychological impact on the parties is too great. People who have a little difficulty accepting a little reality. Letty, for example, who was sitting there, still hadn't come out of the shadows.

"Hah!

Let's just dispel the boredom. Alice runs to Letty to make trouble. However, whether it was patting her on the shoulder or tugging at her collar, Letty, who was completely petrified, did not react in the slightest.

"Lei...... Ah, that's right, it's Ray. ”

Hastily changing her words, Alice stood on tiptoe and put her arms around Letty's shoulder, who was slightly taller than her. Camouflage, naturally, must be thorough, so even the name must be replaced. Eric, Erie, Ray, that's the name of these three "little boys" now.

"Scared?"

“...... Hair. ”

"Ahhh

“...... Oppai. ”

"That'...... We'll talk about that when we get back. ”

“...... Elegance. ”

......

Sorry Letty, this ...... I'm afraid you never had one.

Leaving behind Letty, who was still sluggish, Alice came to her closest and most "close" cohabitant. Irina was probably the only one of the three who didn't complain about any of Lady Rosie's requests, and she never said a word "no" from beginning to end, whether it was changing into a boy's outfit or cutting her long hair that was about to grow up short.

Ultimately...... Originally, she used strong questioning to get Ms. Rosie to give everyone a "second choice", but this is ...... It's not bad, it's still ...... compared to the usual study. This kind of magic with tension makes the time more interesting.

Irina, who was already accustomed to short hair, did not show the slightest restraint at the moment, and even if she didn't use any "special medicine" in a men's dress, she looked like she had the demeanor of a "president" man who Luna often talked nonsense. For example, "the president of the iceberg fell in love with me" and "the domineering president wall-knocked me" mentioned by Luna, the male protagonist in it should be talking about people like Irina.

"Irina......

"It's Erie. Irina coldly corrected Alice's careless mistake, and it seemed that after changing her costume, her already cold enough personality had taken it to the next level, "Forget it...... It's not time yet. Alice, you shouldn't have come along. ”

"I know ......"

Yes, I know it, and Irina knows it. The little rabbit named Alice doesn't really have any reason to be a "magician" at all. Why was I able to join...... It's all because of Ms. Rosie's accommodatingness.

"I just...... Just trying to find your goal. ”

Alice reached behind her back, but she didn't touch the "long hair" that had been. I put on men's clothes, my hair was cut short, and I even had to become a "boy" completely. Obviously, I have even done this step, but I don't have any clear "goal" in my heart, and ......

What is the reason for becoming a "magician"?

"Irina...... What about you, why are you ......?"

"It's simple. ”

The silent Irina opened her mouth abruptly, and Irina's eyes had always fascinated and frightened Alice, fascinated by the excessively beautiful brilliance hidden in it, afraid that while it was beautiful, it was also full of more complex turbidity.

They concealed Irina's past, which she had never spoken to Alice, and these eyes, for the first time at this moment, revealed a corner of the past to Alice, to the people she trusted.

"To live. ”

Live...... Make move.

Alive?

Alive!?

Wait, Irina, can such an obvious thing really be a reason and a goal......? Shouldn't it be something that everyone has by themselves? It's ...... What are the reasons for special treatment?

"What is this ......?"

"Alice. ”

Ah, interrupted. Although the timing is indeed too coincidental, it is ultimately Irina who wants to hide it.

"Stop, it's time for small talk. (To be continued.) )
