Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

Three days later, a bandit extermination operation was to be carried out by an Alliance that discovered the bandit's Azito.

He was briefed by the guild and was also confirmed for collaboration between the parties.

Even so, there is no such thing as rapid collaboration.

At best, you think you're going to break into the enemy's Azit from the east or from the west?

You think I'm in charge of the siege, dealing with a bandit who's been on the run?

To that extent.

A total of 16 Adventurer Parties participate in Operation Destruction.

The number of people is a little over 50.

Sometimes the number of bandits against them is not detected, so it is not clear.

Based on the size of Asia, it is predicted that there will probably be about 30 people.

It doesn't make sense if you get away with it, or if you lack the power, it fits the payback.

- Quite, it's a dangerous request.

However, the damage caused by vandalizing the streets and forest roads that connect Linnal's city to the surrounding city is serious, and just looking at your fingers forever is an obstacle to the lives of the residents.

Merchants won't want to go through either.

Then the city will be missed.

More serious than I thought.

If you go to Wang Capital, they don't have a guild, they have a decent knighthood, but they're too hip to guess.

They'll come 'sooner or later' if they apply and follow the proper steps, but then it's the real deal of the residents to be in trouble.

"Hey, Theon. Are you sure you want Alice to join us?

Old man opened his mouth as he was checking his gear at home before the operation decision left.

Mr. Zion, who was looking at his sword, nodded clearly at the old man as he sheathed it.

"This is what this kid decided. As an adventurer."

"Yes, but..."

The old man looks at me with a worried look on his face.

... Well, you don't know what it's like, do you?

'Cause I've only made you worry so far.

"Mr. Nicole, I'm just gonna do what I can, too."

I'm not gonna push you.

And I really wanted to go on, but I also didn't know what would happen on the actual battlefield, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

"Ugh... Mm. When you're in danger, you put yourself first and you run away, okay? Alice."

"I know."

It's a lie.

There's no way I can do that.

What if it's dangerous?

My party, naturally, old man, Mr. Scion, and me.

This is the only party for this family, as Mr. Theon's people are attending this time separately.

I don't even want to think about the situation where I'm in danger at this party.

- Come on, let's go.

I nodded strongly at Mr. Theon's voice.

Before I go to Wang Capital, I want to give back a little for these people.

At the party of Mr. Scion and his old man fighting with his sword, I can attack at a distance, and I should be able to help.

Bandits fight for the people of the city.

You don't have to think about them.

That's all you have to think about later.

We were dropped off by our aunt, and we moved on to an op-

The bandit Azito, in the opposite direction to the ruins of the forest, leaves the city from the opposite side and proceeds bypassing the streets.

We left early that morning, but the early party is leaving within the night before.

Because they're starting to leave the city in pieces and stick to their fields.

It's just a break, but to deceive the bandit lookout a little bit.

Sometimes our role is to have a small number of parties, and we're dealing with bandits who come running around Azito.

However, it is not safe to say because there is little chance of engaging with bandits on lookout or on the go.

"It's time to have a seat."

Check around as Mr. Scion spreads the marked map.

Upstream of the river that flows into the city, just beyond it lies the woods.

Operation starts when the sun rises and cuts.

With the clock, it means noon.

And it won't be long.

"... if you're going in, I hope you're safe"

"The six-party skilled enter in six groups. We'll just have to pray."

"Yes......"

Exactly, Mr. Theon doesn't have any loose air either.

I was listening carefully to the area.

That's the same with the old man, who meditates his eyes by keeping his weight on a rock that's just the size to sit back on.

Maybe he's careful with the sound.

I am, in other words, struck by a feeling of impatience that I can't stay or stand.

The current assignment is to wait, but I wonder if I should do something.

It is precisely this that stands.

It's not the air to talk to Mr. Theon or the old man, so for now I've decided to replace it with water from the water bottle to calm my feelings.

Get close to the river, throw away the remaining water, and then sink the water bottle into the river.

By the way, the water bottle is not a magic bottle, of course.

Leather bag.

"Hmm...?

As he sank the water bottle, looking across the river without anything, he felt something unnatural uncomfortable in the shadow of the riverside rock.

The river is about 10 meters wide and I feel like a big rock is shining by the river across the street.

Is it a reflection of light?

No, those light particles...!?

"Magic!!

I yelled and told the two of them.

But it's too late!

"Frozen exhale, dance and turn it into a blade - Blizer!!

An opponent popping out of the shadow of a rock mumbles a chant!

The formed ice demon bullet descends as a blade, as its name suggests.

Aim - all!?

Can magic shoot in range!?

From over our heads, ice bullets strike like hail.

It is not very avoidable.

"-"

I at least sheltered my face with both arms trying to prevent it with my arms.

Being skewered - I also expected what a worst thing to happen, but the shock I got wasn't as bad as I thought.

Hail rubble, that's about as shocking.

Of course, pain hurts.

but to that extent.

Is it enough to have a mole at best?

Why is that?

When I thought and saw how it was, there was something like a thin film of light surrounding me.

Before the ice bullet hits me, it's weakening its power against the membrane of light.

"Magic defense is - it's intelligence!

That said, the slightest injury on this scene would be me in Intelligence 5.

On the contrary...

"Sister!! Mr. Nicole!!

Especially Mr. Scion. Intelligence 0!

At the same time that the ice bullet finally fits in, I look back in relief.

"It's all right!

Mr. Zion had no scratches and had pulled out his sword.

Huh?

Intact?

"Huh?"

No way.

All...... avoided!!?

"Is it a monster!?

"I don't know why you're cursing me, I... Dad! Are you okay?"

Staring across the shore, Mr. Scion speaks to the old man.

"Oh, I don't know."

An old man with a shield gets up with the sleigh of.

- But.

"- Foot!"

There's an ice blade piercing my leg!

The old man laughs that it's not a problem, but he won't be able to move on that one.

Heels!

No, the enemy on the other shore before that?

Soon after I thought about it, the situation moved.

Bandits and thoughtful parties came out of the woods.

Five from the woods, paired with wizards across the shore, six in all!

"Shit!"

Closer threat than opposite shore.

Mr. Theon rushes to the bandits.

Three swords.

Two spears.

There's one wizard on the other bank.

I think about it!

Chanting and cool-time, plus ranged attacks, would be the perfect placement.

If there's no one here who can attack us at a distance, we'll be one-sided.

……

"... I know!

Before I cut in, Mr. Scion turned his gaze to me.

I nodded heavily at that gaze only signal.

Besides, Mr. Scion laughed small.

Turning his gaze back to the opposite shore, the wizard was about to finish cool-time and start re-chanting.

I don't know... let him do it!

"It's late! Be a glimmer of light ripping heaven and shoot my enemies - THUNDER!!!

Non time, unleash magic.

That was also a real blow that chanted.

The wizard on the other shore looked stunned at me when he suddenly activated magic without the appearance of generating magic - not long after he avoided it, he collapsed.

I'm guessing it completely surpasses the opponent's magic defense.

It's a response that doesn't make any sense, such as a film of light.

The result is a slight goosebump.

That's later!

Stop thinking and run to your old man.

"The wound... terrible!

An ice blade pierces the sweaty old man's left thigh.

It's not painful.

Even the bleeding is freezing out, and even frostbite is likely to induce.

"Oh, wow, isn't that great, Alice? Big arms!

Not at all!

"That doesn't matter!

What am I supposed to do?

I also feel it would be better to pull out the ice blade first to use the heel.

But does it overflow blood?

Either way, it'll be frostbite as it is!

"Lend it to me!

I borrowed my sword from my old man and tore my skirt off my own skin robe.

Much shorter, but that doesn't matter.

This replaces the tourniquet.

Tighten the base of your left foot with the utmost force.

"Ku Fu! Weakened......!

Is this okay?!?

If it's not tight properly, it doesn't make sense!

"You just have to tighten this guy up, right?

The old man laughed at me with a dandy face and retied his tourniquet himself.

"Yes! Just for a little while, please tighten your eyes!

"Ouch! Guh."

With a distressed look on his face, the old man tightened his tourniquet tightly.

Later......!

"Excuse me, please bear with me!

I grabbed the ice blade and pulled it out for a breath.

"Guaaaaa!!

It must be pretty painful for that old man to scream.

I feel sorry for you.

You've come this far, you've failed. Then it's nothing.

When I pulled out the ice blade and threw it away, I breathed a sigh of breath before thinking about the magic activation.

"O goddess of the earth, have mercy with your breath of healing - heels!!

A pale, gentle white light wrapped the wound as she cast her magic close to the wound.

The wound, where the blood was dripping, gradually blocks out.

But the wound is deep.

It doesn't heal immediately either.

And it turns out that this magic of heels can keep working -.

By the condition of the wound, I guess it can be adjusted.

But - I can tell it's going to wear out terribly.

The magic in my body keeps snatching away.

Not only that, they even take away your health - or are you giving?

Anyway, it tears my head off.

"Kuh."

Cancel once and call me back?

No, it's still too long for Mr. Scion to be fighting!

Show some temper!

I managed to cut the wound off on the verge that I would really fall already -.

"Huh... what do you say? Feet, does it look okay?

"... awesome"

The old man stroked around like a lie where the wound was and whined.

"It's okay, sounds like...... good. Oh, please remove the tourniquet."

When the tourniquet was also removed, the old man stood up to be sure.

And raise or step on your left foot.

"Hmmm... it's uncomfortable, and it doesn't seem like it's full speed, but it's enough"

Well, you're scared when you're fully recovered.

When I was relieved, I realized for the first time that I was so worn out that I couldn't stand up.

Keep it up, Pepper.

It's called sitting a girl down.

"... good woman, Ouch!!

Mr. Theon stuck his old man's head down.

"My sister, isn't she amazing? Father."

"Wow."

Mr. Zion, who came as he approached me, can stroke my head to a sneeze.

"... by the way, you're supposed to be my daughter too"

"It's not an eye for my daughter, stupid father."

"Oh, that's not true!

"Yes, no, no! Rather than that, the Bandits, what?

Stop the two people who told the weird story and look back towards the woods.

"Huh? That?

At the tip of Mr. Theon's finger, there were five people lying down.

"............... is it a monster?

I won't go against your sister.

That's what I secretly swore.
