A Misunderstood Mentor

"Oh, no? Where's Alice?" Where did Alice go? "

After returning from the Royal Castle of Lucia, I immediately noticed something strange.

There was no sign of Alice at the training ground or at home.

No way, while I was away, 'she' came again.

Place the promised sword "Chii Kankyukiwa" bought as a souvenir on the floor, and pull the demon sword Karuna received from Azatose out of her waist and speak to her.

"Karuna, do you feel any sign of Alice?"

No. I've spoken to him a few times on the way home, but he's not responding.

You must be in a deep sleep.

"I wonder what you did to me, Takumi-sahn"

From the basement of the house, Layant slowly crawls out, rubbing his eyelids.

Even though it was already daytime, she still seemed to be sleeping.

Somehow, I feel like it's getting a lot worse since I got bigger.

"I didn't have Alice. Wasn't she here again?"

"Fuah, I didn't come." It's okay, Alice-san, I'm just going to hand it over. "

"Huh!?"

When I heard the word "hello" from Leyant's mouth, my spine froze.

Leia has been there three times in the past, and all of them have been terrible. * 1

"Why do you want to use it?" It would be dangerous if you let such a small child go alone. "

"It's not like that, Alice-sama is pretty solid, and I've taught you the tricks to help you properly."

Noooo!

I'm lectured by someone I shouldn't have told you about!!

It's Takumi Village at the foot of the hill. I'll be right after you.

"It's no good." Alice-sama, to make Takumi-san happy, I went to help you, so let's trust you and wait ~ "

The giant Layant grabbed my arm and stopped me.

No, don't do that. Even if you grab it lightly, it'll crush you.

My arm's going to fall off.

"Alright, I'll trust Alice and wait." But not until dusk. If it's later than that, I'll pick you up. "

"Yes, yes, Takumi, I'm worried about you." It's not that late, is it? "

Yeah, Layant.

You never came home before nightfall, did you?

But if it's Alice, it might be okay, unlike Leia.

"Oh, please, Alice!" I believe you. "

I wish I hadn't believed it, and I regretted dying later.

Chakumi, just...

At dusk, Alice came back when I was ready to pick her up.

Welcome back.

While saying that, I rubbed my eyes and managed to check the situation.

How did this happen?

Alice was carrying a basket larger than herself made of a net, which she packed with various ingredients.

A lot of vegetables and meat and animal bones.

Yeah, I want to believe it's an animal bone.

Some obviously have unusual bones mixed together, but they go through for a while.

After all, something more shocking and unbelievable is sticking out from the edge of the cage.

"Ah, Alice, what did you buy?"

When she heard that, Alice laughed and replied cheerfully.

"I'm making rice, it's always delicious for chakumi, so I'm going to make it, ajo, aju, clattering."

Yeah yeah, normally, it would be a scene where you hold your eyebrows and cry with emotion.

However, I was too worried about what was sticking out of the cage to be moved at all.

Ahh, that's not the ingredient that sticks out, is it?

In response to that question, Alice turned to check the contents of the cage.

"Ahh, it's hiding, and it's coming!"

"I'm sorry, it's a little cramped and the smell is too strong." I couldn't stand it. "

As usual, you can hear a gentle voice.

Why are you bringing [girlfriend] here?!

The shocking cry of the heart becomes a drago valve.

"Well, well, don't get angry." We ran into each other in the village. It's like cooking some kind of difficult dish, so I thought I'd be able to give you some advice, so I followed. ”

Oh, is that true?

You're not going to let me off my guard and turn it off!?

"Don't worry about it." Because I really just give advice on cooking. If you leave it to Alice-chan, it's probably going to be a terrible thing. "

When I was told that, I remembered the dish that Alice made when I lived alone.

'Cause Sasha said cooking is life-threatening. I used to eat insects and such raw, so I tried arranging them. The fish is also made fresh, so please eat it while it's still fresh. "

Um, yeah… In the basket, it moves, eating bugs and fish dances. * 2

It's horrible to imagine eating that again.

“Okay, I'll give you the right advice.”

Yeah, let's make a delicious meal together.

”Uhihi, Arishu, good luck”

Huh? Somehow you're getting along so well!?

"Oh, yeah, there's obviously some weird bones in there." Well, that's not a human skeleton, is it? "

A lot is missing, but there's one thing that looks like a human skull.

"It's okay. It's the head of the Four Heavenly Kings (laughs) dogma (raw) from Mr. Sonelion, who handles unusual ingredients." It has a very good broth. Hey, Alice-chan. "

Ok ~ ~

I don't know what to hold on to anymore.

In the cage, the dog's teeth are shaking.

"There are many other things, hide-and-seek."

"Shh, Alice-chan, that's still confidential." I have to keep it a secret. "

Are you okay, Alice? "She" is a Las Boss you have to defeat someday.

Despite my worries, the two of them went to the kitchen happily, holding hands.
