18. Unique time
The dozing morning, the bright morning, the lunch time that made the maids go all out until the afternoon tea, after which it might be more leisurely, but all eyes were still on Alice and Gonnie, waiting for the sun to gradually set in the west. Finally......
"Welcome!"
The Black Rabbit barged in just as it was about to close, and there were no more customers left in the store.
"Close the shop, Alice, come with me. ”
Goni stood up as she spoke, dragging Alice and walking towards the basement. She was usually calm, and suddenly became so "excited", the reason for which Alice could not understand better, after all...... For a whole morning and afternoon, Goni was holding the "wordless book of heaven" tightly holding the "wordless book of heaven" that actually had no handwriting at all, as if she was looking at a treasure that she couldn't put down.
Presumably, she must have seen some clues. An ordinary magician can detect a "special" book in his hand, and there is no reason why it is ordinary waste paper in the hands of a witch.
"Don't be idle, come along. ”
"Well, well, so be it, after all, you're holding something fun. ”
Grabbed a handful of pancakes and stuffed them into his mouth, and the black rabbit kept chewing like a little squirrel, "Woo woo, hmm!"
"Hmm. ”
Although it seemed to Alice that it was just a burst of muttering, but Goni handed the book to the black rabbit as if she understood, and the black rabbit who took the "wordless book of heaven" touched it for a while, and then threw it to Alice very uncherished.
"Is that right?"
"Mmmm
"Well, he did it. I really don't know if it's excitement or nervousness. Sighing, Goni turned her head, "Na." Alice, now that you've brought it back, you should know what it can do. ”
"Well, it's better to say...... My luck was a little bit better. ”
Nodding, Alice said that this was probably not accepted by most magicians, and could only be regarded as a "plagiarized" spell book. Of course, it is precisely because Goni, a member of the Magic Society, is a "former witch" that she is willing to take it out so generously.
If it were a witch like Miradoro, it would always feel ...... The moment the book saw the light, it was about to turn into pieces of ashes. To spy on other people's magic, as long as the distance is close enough and the user has enough "talent", you can "copy" other people's magic. So, as long as you have this book. Perhaps it is possible to "copy" the magic of the Hatter or Scarlett about playing with "time", so as to go back in time and "repair" the Hatter.
Compared to them, who are already familiar with time, it is tantamount to a child playing with fire to use such dangerous magic by a layman, but this is probably the last ray of hope. That's why Alice had to snatch the book back from Luna at all costs, compared to the little maid who rebelled without hesitation...... It is much more important to be the "companion" of the hatter.
"Teacher Goni. I don't want to delay too long. Can I use it right away?"
The Hatter is "stuck in the past" in a deathmatch with Scarlett. In other words, she can't wake up because of the influence of time, so ...... The magic of this time must still be on the hatter's body, acting on it, so that the hatter has never been able to "come back". And this book for plagiarism...... As long as you are close to a place where magic can be used, words will appear on the pages for the user to chant, so. At that time, it will be ......
"Hmm...... Indeed, there is no time for you to procrastinate any longer. But ......"
Holding the book, Gonnie didn't mean to give it to Alice, "But you know how dangerous this is." Even if they are already free to use time, they will inevitably be trapped by time when they are affected, and you ...... Or even just a 'newbie' to this type of magic for the first time. Consequence...... Maybe it's more serious than you think. ”
Open the "staircase" that leads to the association, and go underground little by little. The gentlemen who couldn't hold back their mood also appeared one after another, and they naturally knew how dangerous it was to return to the "past" in this way, what an uncertain thing, and the expectation and worry coexisted, but ...... Even if she says all this, I'm afraid she won't be able to sway her judgment.
If you are willing to fulfill your agreement, you will not back down even if you obstruct it. If you want to regret it, even if you kneel on the ground and be coquettish, it won't help. Their master's style is really as stubborn as a rabbit.
Well, it's a rabbit.
"Hmm...... I promised. Taking the pocket watch from the Cheshire Cat, Alice held it tightly in her hand, "Anyway, try it first......"
"It's not a matter of giving it a try...... Oh, no, I didn't mean to put you in danger. ”
A little tougher, she snatched the pocket watch from Alice's hand, and along with the "wordless book", she placed them on the table.
"It's not a kid's game, and you're just an ordinary magician. Whether as an elder or as a superior, there is no reason for me, an old woman who can still be a little bit of a 'witch', to let you use dangerous magic. And ......"
After a pause, Goni turned the page, and the originally empty page was already covered with dense words, at least ...... It's not something that Alice can understand and use in a short period of time.
"Are you underestimating me, as a student of the teachers, it doesn't count if you put aside someone who only knows how to play. ”
"Hey...... Nerd, you're in a weird tone. ”
"Let it be so. Waving at the black rabbit, Gonnie continued, "I have much more knowledge than the one I use now, in other words...... I'm here to use time magic to send you into the past, at least safer than you used it yourself. Of course, Alice-san, you'll be here to help, too. ”
"Well, of course. ”
Grabbing the pocket watch on the table, the black rabbit threw her into Alice's hand, "Take care of her, and you can go back too, it's a good time, but it will come to an end." ”
"Alice ......"
The gentlemen were calling, but who they were keeping, Alice was clear. It's just that...... What does it mean to end, exactly...... If you go back in time, you can still come back.
"Hey ......"
"You tell me to stand still and shut up now! ”
The black rabbit's angry shout made Alice stunned in place, and at this time Gonnie had already begun to chant silently, and the black rabbit, who seemed to have nothing to do, was by no means as idle as she appeared.
"This is something that can only be used under various miracles, and it is impossible to replicate the magic of the second time. Phew, hahaha...... It's really exciting to think about. ”
She picked up the book, it was her story, it was her story. As a magician's dignity and another life, it should be well preserved and cherished.
But...... The black rabbit ......
"So, it's time to say goodbye!" (To be continued.) )
