I'm afraid that the cooperation with Xi'er is not even the most basic "trust", but this mutual suspicion has finally reached a common ground on something. It's the scavenging girl who hunts the scavenging doll together, and she has nothing to do with Alice, and she hasn't risen to the level of sympathy, and Ciel wants to "hunt" her for some unwanted reason.

Therefore, the contract is established, there is no suspicion and no need to be opponents of each other, if such a thing happens, the two must be able to work together. The white wolf, who can't act, but knows the information, is good at calculation, and the rabbit who is agile but lacks some judgment and intelligence, when the original opponent temporarily becomes a "partner......

The hot sun gradually sank in the west, and although it reflected a beautiful dusk, the desolation as far as the eye could see destroyed this beauty. Sure enough, no matter morning or evening, no matter spring or summer, rain or shine, the city abandoned by the development of the times in the past time, all that has is left is an ugly posture. People who live in more "advanced" societies in pursuit of light and sight instinctively hide it in places that are difficult to find, but this is only a palliative solution after all. If it can't be erased, it will always exist. And......

Can they really hide as they wish? Among the people who "live" in this desolation, which one does not have a heart that is ready to move, which one does not have a pair of eyes full of longing, and which one ...... Don't want to get a ticket to the light?

"Ciel, wake up. ”

Coming to an unfamiliar environment, Alice, who couldn't rest well because of a little nervousness, woke up early. The sky where the sun had just set still lingered on the afterglow of the madling glow. From a distance, it looks beautiful but a little ethereal. It's probably a physical weakness. Ci'er, who was resting in a wheelchair with her eyes closed, did not wake up at Alice's soft call.

"Cier?"

Still...... Still haven't woken up. Is she really too tired? However, despite Xi'er's "dangerous" personality, she is still enough to attract many people, even those of the same sex, when she falls asleep. Frowning slightly, whispering dreams, what did she see in her dreams?

If Ciel is "killed" now, her previous mistakes will surely be gone, and her servants may search for her. But everything about yourself...... can be perfectly hidden. Maybe...... Can it really be......

"Ciel, wake up. ”

By the time Alice came to her senses from her delusions, her hand had unconsciously slapped Cier's shoulder. Xi'er, who opened her eyes in a daze, revealed the confusion that really belonged to the "girl", but this innocence and cuteness soon disappeared without a trace.

“...... Sorry, I'm a little tired. Rubbing her eyes, Ciel regained her composure, and her gaze fell on the already fading sky outside the window, and the gradually falling night was also a signal of the beginning of the hunt, with fierce and powerful monsters on one side, and an alliance of rabbits and wolves on the other, each of which was a hunter. Each is prey. And the decision of this identity depends entirely on the beginning of that battle.

"Alice. Are you ready?"

"Hey, get ready. patted her chest, Alice gave Ci'er, most likely to cheer herself up. If you leave behind the life of becoming a "big lady" and choose a magician, then you can't complain about the hardships and dangers.

"Then I'll get started. ”

"Well, please don't be inhibited. Ciel straightened up, "It just so happens that I want to get a closer look at your 'story', Miss Alice." ”

Naturally, hunting must use companions, otherwise Alice, who has no "story", is just a girl with slightly better motor nerves. And these companions are hidden in the stories of the book, they live in eternal time, enjoying a beautiful afternoon tea party, and this ethereal everything will not change much.

However, all this beauty will be broken by the magic messenger who summons them, and in order to help the "girl" who holds the story, the gentlemen who could have enjoyed life also appear in full clothes to face the danger with the girl. So, even if they wanted to, it wasn't something they should take, at least...... With the most fundamental "gratitude".

First of all, I would like to thank the first one, the March Rabbit who has always supported her, she is her first partner. I used to tear out its ears and drag its legs everywhere, but now it's rude to think about it to a gentleman. But Bunny, the girl who has been playing pranks on you can swear to you that you have always been her "friend".

Holding the book in one hand, Alice bent down to the maximum extent possible, and summoned the first rabbit gentleman with gratitude and trust.

"March Hare, please help me. ”

......

Silence, emptiness, but this is definitely not the result of a failed response. Because there was already a slight pain in my head, as if I had been knocked by something. Yes...... That must be......

"You're not normal today. The March Rabbit who knocked on Alice's head muttered, clearly unaccustomed to it, "It's too formal." ”

Formal...... No, in fact, this should be the most basic process, and it is really impolite for gentlemen to call casually on weekdays.

Well, the next thing to thank is the second one. The Cheshire Cat who helped himself and saved himself from danger. She wasn't as close to her as Marchhare, and she never told herself why, but her help to herself was full of her kindness. This must be thankful.

"Cheshire cat, please help me. ”

Waiting, this time for a longer time, but Alice still didn't get up, still bent down and waited for the Cheshire Cat to appear. Tsundere but kind, she will definitely not ignore it, so ......

"Good Flesh and ......"

Therefore, she will definitely appear, and as for the tone that is a little wrong, it is better not to care.

"In that case, I'll ignore your meow next time. ”

Then came the third who could not appear, a merchant among the gentlemen, a shrewd hatter. She should have been the one who scared her the most, but what she got from her was an indescribable warmth. She can't happen now, she can't act, but as long as she exists, it's an encouragement to herself.

After sling the watch around her neck, Alice turned the pages deeper and deeper. Hidden there are new friends and an old acquaintance, the well-dressed and eccentric Duchess unexpectedly has her kind and lovely side, and what disgusts her but can't bear to ignore is what she calls the "stinky mouse in the gutter" - a dormouse that screams sleepy all day and can sleep anytime and anywhere. They are also kind-hearted people who will not turn a blind eye to their requests. So......

"Duchess, dormouse, please help me. ”

The light suddenly appeared, but what appeared was a picture that made Alice not know whether to laugh or not. Dressed in an overly girly pink pajamas, the Duchess appeared in front of Alice's eyes with an indecent gesture and the same yawning dormouse. They didn't say hello...... Most of them are so sleepy that they don't have the strength to say hello. Anyway, I'm going to have to wake them up later.

"That's what it is...... Alice, your magic?"

Xi'er, who was in a wheelchair, watched all this intently, she seemed a little excited, but she was deliberately suppressed by self-control, "It's really reliable...... Friends. ”

"Well, it's reliable. ”

And...... It's also very happy, although most of this happiness is not to let yourself get exercise. If you think about it now, I'm afraid that's why the gap between me and Irina has not only not shortened over time, but has widened.

Now, there is only one "partner" I have ever seen. That is what all gentlemen must obey, Your Majesty. If she is strong and willing to help herself, even the monster that gave her a headache before must be easy to "hunt", so ......

"Hoo ......"

Alice took a deep breath and prepared with twelve points of mental preparation. Her Majesty's request to the Queen is not on the same level as the request to gentlemen, and you should know what kind of etiquette to use to be willing to do so.

So...... Let's go. (To be continued.) )
