72. Lead to the future
"So, Dumb Goose, did she do that, was she a little disappointed?"
The condescending black rabbit turned its head, but immediately showed helplessness, "Whew...... It's really impatient. ”
A light flashed before Alice's eyes, and by the time she scrambled to her feet, she was no longer where Letty had been standing. Did this "counselor of gentlemen and ladies" not intend to stay in the first place, or did he ...... Is it disappointed that Alice, who not only hesitated, but also almost lost her life because of hesitation and retention?
"Don't look at it, I'm already back. Patting Alice on the shoulder, the black rabbit taunted Alice with a "real" to excessively honest words, "It's such a good opportunity, she has already shot that beast, but she turned around and was let go by you who pinned your hopes." The next time you catch it so openly, it will be even more difficult, right?"
“...... I'm sorry. ”
The opportunity that Black Rabbit exchanged for rare conditions was so easily wasted, although it was not difficult to find "zero" later, but it was hard to imagine that Aesop would once again push out Irina as a "not for sale". And next time it will not only be herself, but Irina will also become more "smart", more "calm", and more unapproachable.
I'm afraid next time, it's not just a matter of chance. Just "hunting" is afraid that you will put yourself in unimaginable danger. After all, just like humans, "animals" also grow.
"I hesitated......"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, no need to apologize. It's better to say that you're lucky to survive. The black rabbit pursed his lips, "Should I say that you have a good life, or is it luck? I am also responsible for not considering that you are too weak." ”
“......”
So direct.
"So, what are you going to do next? ”
While tending to his clothes, the black rabbit looked around. Irina's departure was like a signal, causing the "dogs" who had disappeared to reappear in the shadows. However, without the orders of their masters, they naturally cannot act rashly. Just keep staring, looking at their "food".
It's a little creepy, and even a head-to-head duel doesn't feel like that. This innumerable number of social animals often use this performance to "intimidate" and "peep" at their prey.
"Anyway, let's get out of here. ”
Alice sighed, grabbed the black rabbit's hand and began to run away from the place that had not left a good impression. But. If this is where Aesop keeps "animals" in captivity, she will definitely come back in the future.
With the "Zero" who is now locked up in Xi'er's place, I once again see Irina, who is much stronger than herself, who must admit at all times. This time I hesitated, and even almost lost my life, but I hope ...... I hope that next time, no, next time, I will not compromise again.
"I'm going to look for an association on magic. ”
After a long march. Alice was finally able to get a little out of her mind about Irina. Although this time the "task" given by Teacher Rosie suddenly had too many changes, betrayals, and accidents...... All this makes it necessary for me to take on the responsibility of three people. It's just that the witch Goni who formed the magic association has already let herself meet, and all that remains is to find her and make her admit herself through hard work.
"I don't know where it is, but ...... I need to get the job done. ”
"Sure enough...... I knew it was a magic association. ”
Sighing rather disappointed, Black Rabbit said in what she considered to be her "opinion", "It's not going to end well there." You've seen it with your own eyes before.,That witch who likes to mess around.。 ”
Of course. The first time they met, Gonnie still wore a little "disguise", but when she asked for her own divination. She also showed the most original reason and calmness, and like the gentleness of Rosie and the nobility of Miradoro, Goni has an elegant wisdom as a witch.
However......
"She has long been blinded by what 'mission' is now, it's really pitiful. The pursuit is all about ethereal things, and she also dragged a group of students who were brainwashed by her to accompany her to the funeral. ”
The black rabbit scoffed with some disdain, "So." Are you going to go over and be brainwashed now? And then she will push you off the cliff little by little? Is she a witch who can push you down mercilessly with tears on her face?"
However, what the Black Rabbit said was not wrong.
Such a wise Godie, when facing the magician, it was obvious that she lost her calm. Maybe...... That's not her reason. Unwilling to rely on the "witches", all the power she has is to form an association with magic, and even if she is helpless, she must let her students be suspected. It seems that the "hatred" that has been going on for many years also makes her unable to let go of it no matter what. Human. Witches are "witches", but they are also "humans", and as long as there are feelings, they may be swayed by them.
If there's anything that an "outsider" can do, it'......
"That's my mission, a little bit or not, I want to really 'help' the Magic Society. ”
"Ah, that's true. A sucker. ”
"And...... I also need to ask Ms. Goni to help me. After a pause, Alice felt her own voice tremble with nervousness, "About ...... Repairs by the hatter. ”
"I thought you forgot. ”
"Not really!"
"You're really big, and she's my companion too...... Forget it, don't settle accounts with you, everything depends on your efforts. ”
The black rabbit yawned, and by the time Alice looked over, the black rabbit had lost all the fun it had before.
"I'm reluctant, but that's why I'm going to visit Goni. Thank me so much that I have so much time left for you to find. ”
"Ah, thank you...... Thank you. ”
"Don't thank 'yourself', it would be weird. ”
While muttering, the black rabbit silently led his head. No matter how much you rush, you won't find the magic association right away. Looks like she's going to take her to find a place to rest first.
That's fine...... First the riot caused by the magic headquarters, and then the "pain and helplessness" on Aesop's side, it was time to take a break and prepare for tomorrow's "escape" and "search". The magicians who came to their senses did not need to think about it, and they would definitely start a strict "sweep" in order to comfort the panicked "guests", and this "war" was far from over.
"When you go back, you have to get rid of the 'disguise'. ”
Squeezing back the black rabbit's hand, Alice hurriedly followed her.
Although the "war" is not over, fortunately, reliable "allies" have been found. Although it is not clear what the situation and the reason is, this "black rabbit" will definitely help "herself", and guide herself, an immature "herself", little by little, to become able to take charge of herself in the end.
Definitely, there will be this day.
(Act VII Introduction:
The Magicians' plans have been revealed, and even though they have been hit hard in the process of breaking in, they are still methodically planning with absolute certainty. The reason why Professor Price was able to devise a solution entirely to magic is beginning to be understood. Godie did not admit the existence of Alice to the Magic Society, and the rebellion and injury of her companions made the already dangerous task even more dangerous, although with the help of a certain black rabbit, but ...... Is that really enough? After all, why did that giggling rabbit appear, and what is there and secret?
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Act Seven: The Distance Between Black and White
I was able to successfully come to the association thanks to her help. But...... There was still a lot of work that needed to be done to fulfill Aesop's promise. Ahhhh It's just a task, and it's not a big deal. But why, is she there? Hopefully, it's fake, but ...... Not bad if it's true. In that case, in that case......
Black and white are opposite colors and are the colors that are most likely to be confused with each other. Ahhhh That's it, the distance, just a little bit. (To be continued.) )
