69.Wolf Mark (3)
Honest and obedient "wolves" naturally do not ignore the orders of their masters and shout and scream, even in the face of the enemy's provocation, they are smart enough to endure it calmly. So, Alice didn't pay much attention to Irina's silence, but just focused on Aesop. This guy who in a sense belongs to the "culprit".
Unaffected by the riots that had just taken place, he had already changed his clothes, holding a wine glass in one hand and pulling Irina by the hair with the other, as if it were the rope he was tethering to his "pet".
Irina, who had been "dropped" in disguise, was no longer the "young man" she was when she left the forest, and she seemed to have been forced into a wig now. Ahhhh......h It seems that it needs to be updated.,This guy Aesop is not only a "villain", but also a pervert who likes Lori.
"Good evening, two little rabbits. ”
Glancing at the blood on Alice's hands and body, Aesop casually tossed the glass aside. Like a corpse that began to decompose, when the wine glass just hit the ground, the "dogs" hiding in the corners of the middle of nowhere poured out, coaxing the fragments, **** the ground, and enjoying the "reward" thrown away by the "master" everywhere.
"It's just mad dogs that don't hurt to die, but you've killed too much. ”
"You ......"
"So, Aesop, what compensation are you going to want?"
Reaching out to stop Alice, who was suddenly a little impulsive, the black rabbit squeezed in front of her, "This number, don't think about it." ”
"Hmph. I'm not a beggar on the side of the road. ”
What should have been a tense scene suddenly became weird. Although the "hostility" of both sides has not dissipated. But whether it's Aesop or this "self", the way they communicate is really strange.
Suddenly, Isolt held out her hand, "Do me a favor, in my long-lost miscalculation." Of course, even if you forget, I'll remember it clearly. Alice, classmate. ”
"Deal. ”
The unknown and strange deal was done so easily. This is probably something that only Aesop and Alice, and perhaps the "witches", can understand. Because...... "Alice...... classmates". So, does the "self" around you, who is exactly the same as yourself, also have the same name as yourself? and...... She still exists too much for that era......
"I'm not going to pay for the cleaning, so next. ”
After a pause, the black rabbit pointed at Irina, "She's the 'dog' you caught." ”
"Hmph, superficial. ”
Roughly pulled Irina in front of him. Aesop showed off her "obedient and fierce" pet as if she were showing off her own, "She's just like those stupid dogs." ”
"Whew. Also, whether it is sharp teeth or obedient...... You've reached the standard of a 'wolf'. ”
Suddenly, the book in the black rabbit's hand began to shake violently, which Alice had seen before...... Whenever someone who lives in the story is desperate to get it out, the book becomes unusually unstable. Of course, the gentlemen and ladies hidden in the story want to rush out regardless of etiquette, it must be because they can't stand something anymore.
The March Hare and the Cheshire Cat are now with them, so who is left?Lady Ophelia?Dormouse?Queen?No...... How could it be them, they have nothing to do with Isoloben. That......
"Calm down, stupid. Whispering at the book, which has always been "casual" in Alice's eyes, the black rabbit showed a rare sad expression, "I will have a way." ”
Ahhhh......h Got it, it must be her. If it was her, there was definitely a reason to want to "meet" Irina. It's just that...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, even if I wanted you to appear, I didn't have you on the blank bottom page of the book.
"Aesop, make an offer. ”
Taking a deep breath, the black rabbit became serious. It's not surprising that if Aesop was also a "classmate" of the witches when they were younger, then his own power as a magician ...... It must not be any worse.
"I want the life of this wolf. ”
This...... It's like an ordinary transaction, where a curious buyer wants to take away a "wolf" from the owner, and the "wolf" has no right to express his own "thoughts" regardless of the owner's response. Just like Irina now, she bowed her head silently, waiting for Aesop's order for her "future", even if it was "death", she would not disobey the order from her master.
Seemingly...... The imprint on my heart really won't fade with the passage of time. Irina is, after all, just an "animal" raised by Aesop...... Even if it is a 'wolf' who is more favored than the 'dog', the most fundamental identity has not changed in the slightest.
It's good to just ask for help, even if it's just to throw a helpless look at yourself...... That would be enough reason to convince yourself not to care about what you've learned, but ......
"Sorry, the rest is fine, only this is not for sale. ”
Unlike the previous pull, this time Isolt put her hand on Irina's head, "Even compared to wolves, she is much smarter." This animal ...... It's time to be a man. ”
Irina looked up in surprise, although Isolt, who was still sneering, didn't even look at her, but ...... For just a moment, Alice could no longer feel Irina's "presence".
Wrong from the start, there should not have been any "sympathy" for Irina from the beginning. Since even she herself is willing to abandon her "companions", then there is no reason for her side to persuade her anymore.
"People?"
"Then I'll buy the life of this 'person'!"
The inexplicable anger and the previous anxiety made Alice push away the black rabbit in front of her, "You are a merchant, as long as you give enough price, even you can sell it yourself." Say, what do you want?"
"You ......"
"The host ......"
"I see, huh...... It seems that I must be tired and will fall into my own trap. ”
Shaking her head with a smile, Aesop fumbled for something in her pocket.
"See this 'mad wolf'?"
The flying picture was roughly grabbed by the black rabbit, and Alice, who approached her, also saw the somewhat familiar picture above. Is it zero...... The girl who was caught with Ciel earlier can only be regarded as a "monster". Aesop...... What is he going to do!?
"It's crazy, but it's still a little nostalgic for me. Find her and bring it to me. ”
As she spoke, Isolt rudely pushed Irina a few steps forward, "I can't sell this non-sale, of course, since I want to become a 'human', I can't do it without some opinions." One, then judge for yourself. Yourself, judge. (To be continued.) )
