If you want to fix the Hatter, you have to "go back", but the only way to get the Hatter to "go back" seems to be the only one that the Hatter and the defected witch Scarlett have. Needless to say, the Hatter who can't even appear at all, the possibility that Scarlett will help the enemy is infinitely close to zero, and besides, how to find her is a problem.

Once this circular chain is broken from a certain part, it is difficult to connect it again. Alice, who couldn't find a good way after thinking about it, decided to deal with the "request" left by Aesop first, because the relationship between the black rabbit and everyone has not completely torn their faces, and although Aesop is doing such a thing as "captive slaves", it can be said that she is similar to Ciel to a certain extent in other aspects. As "businessmen", they will not always be enemies with anyone, but there is a judgment of "credit" and "interests" that makes them choose the "enemy" in front of them.

Therefore, there is no harm in completing the agreement with Aesop, and now it is necessary to think about how to take back the "zero" mentioned by Aesop from the hands of the girl who will not let up at all times.

The person who had already left made an abrupt return visit, and she ...... It's impossible not to notice anything.

"Excuse me, I want to see you young lady. ”

This time, Alice chooses to visit alone after a long journey, and the presence of the Black Rabbit only makes Ciel more wary. Fortunately, although Alice didn't have any impression of these men with sunglasses who looked basically the same, the other party seemed to remember this "wheelchair pusher" who only made a good salary, and quickly ran to inform Cier.

I really don't know how to ...... Moved, or helpless? Xi'er, who met again, did not look for the next helper to push the wheelchair for her as Alice thought, but slowly turned the wheels alone, panting while slowly appearing in Alice's sight.

Whew, this ...... A sucker.

"I'll do it. ”

A natural detour behind Hill's back. This is a somewhat accustomed movement, and it doesn't seem to be unfamiliar. Xi'er, who hadn't seen her for a while, didn't refuse Alice's kindness, but leaned back on the wheelchair slightly, took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped her dirty hands.

None of the guards tried to stop Alice, or ...... No fool would have to die without knowing what to do when Ciel had already acquiesced.

"You should hire a new person. ”

"There was no suitable one, and I quickly quit. ”

As always, gossiping, both sides deliberately avoided unfriendly topics. Maybe it's because of the relationship with Alice who saw her again. Xi'er looked a little excited, "Do you want to continue to come back and push the wheelchair when you have a frustrated part-time job?"

“...... Not really, it's just ...... It's just a little bit of a triviality. ”

Pushing the wheelchair, Alice led Ciel to the familiar home that Alice had not seen for a long time. Everything is still the same, the only difference...... I'm afraid it's just two extra pairs of shoes, and Alice, who is no longer nervous, naturally didn't ignore this detail.

It's not like a style that Hill would wear, and it's ...... It's too worn. It's like you've been soaked in the mud. The shoes worn by Xi'er, who has always been in a wheelchair, are unlikely to be like this, and according to her character, if she falls, those shoes are probably destined to be thrown away in the first place.

"Are you here?"

"Well, you don't have to worry about the two guests who came in suddenly. ”

Ci'er, who was sitting down with Alice in her arms, looked at Alice quietly, and she looked more like a cute doll than she was cute enough to be cute. At least...... On the face of it, it is. But helplessly, this "doll" can not only move. And...... And smarter than many, many people.

"If you want to make tea, do it yourself?"

"Well, no. Getting a little closer to Ciel, Alice leaned down and whispered in Ciel's ear, "Ciel, I have a question. ”

"I'm not a random guy over there. Please let go sir. ”

"Cier!"

Lowered his voice slightly. Again, Alice said, "I have a question for you. ”

"Whew...... I really don't want our relationship to be destroyed so easily. Sighing, Ciel leaned on Alice's shoulder rather tiredly, "That's it." ”

"Zero, the 'monster' I caught for you earlier. Where are you hiding now?"

"You're going to find Aesop!?" opened her eyes suddenly, Ciel's intelligence didn't "disappoint" Alice at all, just a "monster" could make her associate and guess too much truth, "What are you going to do?"

"That guy is going to get zero back, and unfortunately, I know where zero is. So ......"

Moving closer, Alice put her hand on Ciel's shoulder. She should be able to understand her own situation at this time, huh...... I really wish she could regret her previous negligence and laxity like a person with feelings, instead of ...... Still as calm as a businessman.

"Now, Alice......"

"I'm sorry, anyway, let me take her. I also have important commitments to fulfill. ”

"I see, I see. At this point in time, she should have been anesthetized in a deep sleep, and every day at noon was the time when she was awake, of course...... It's going to be a very noisy time. There is not much time left for you, if needed...... Just pick me up. ”

“......”

"Rest assured, I don't have to lie to you about this kind of thing yet. ”

After a pause, Ci'er, who was picked up by Alice, laughed. The "innocent" smile actually made Alice feel a little chill in her back, "I don't want you to get hurt, what I like is the whole you." ”

"It's good to say as much as you want after that. Under Ciel's guidance, Alice walked step by step in the direction Ciel pointed. The bricks poked into by Ciel soon led to a path underground. It seems that it's not just the magic association, but even Ciel likes to play some "basement" and other bad games.

However, if you want to watch over and hide that crazy "monster", hiding her in the basement is really a good choice. The pungent stench soon spread, leaving no doubt about the existence of the monster, and Ciel only frowned at the face of this smell that even Alice could not bear.

She...... Feeling sick at all?

"Don't be stunned, let's go quickly. Otherwise, my tidy home will be polluted by the stench. (To be continued.) )
