Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria

From the moment I realized it, it was a battle to live.

I have little memory of my parents.

If you noticed, you were wandering around the suburbs of Wangdu.

It was the priest of the church who could never be described as wealthy that picked me up close to going down.

He was a very sweet man, supported by a large number of other children who had lost their closeness.

Life in the church was terrible.

There weren't enough rooms and many people were stuffed together to live in a small room.

Even food was basic once a day, and I was always hungry.

Among other things, I was made to study every day that studying was important.

I'm hungry, and I can force you to study that you don't want to do.

The children, including myself, were the ones who raised discontent with the priest who was taking care of them.

But since when, I noticed the priest's cheek was pouring.

I realized that my body had shrunk once more than when I first met her.

(Somehow, I have to)

So much so that at some point I was attached to the children I would live with and to this old church.

To this, irresistibly uncomfortable church.

It's a shame you remembered learning bows to protect yourself.

While blushing, the memories I learned at an early age are staining my body.

Before I got here, there was only one thing I had, because it was about that bow and skill.

Maybe the bow is the shape of my parents.

One day, I just dusted it out of the storage. I pulled it out and took care of it.

"Oh, is that Amy? Where are you going? Hold a bow like that."

The priest laughs gently at me with a deeply wrinkled face.

Not much - I didn't feel like I had much time.

"Hey, adventure."

"Well, don't be too late."

"Rajah."

Leaving the church built outside Guo in the Wang capital, hurry towards the outside of the city.

Along the way, the walls stood in sight.

Those people in there, they must have a good life.

"... wait, guys"

Help everyone on your own.

So determined, I jumped outside.

Defeat the demon to get items to redeem.

If you defeat an animal that isn't, you'll get more food than that day.

String, with a knife sharpened arrow of trees, proceed on the meadow near Wangdu.

I've tried and fired several times, and I have no problem with the power.

It's up to me later.

- There he is.

For a long time, if I concentrated, I could grasp the distance from people.

So it was quick to find something to gain.

Barrett Wolf: LV5

Enemy Statuses comes out.

Demons.

Heart rate jumps.

The enemy is unaware.

With this one shot, I'll end it.

Squeeze the bow, aim for it.

(- Hit me!

To the wolf's torso, release an arrow.

That's still approaching the unaware wolf, and - off the hook.

pierce the current earth of wolves.

A wolf jumped up to it and was surprised - finally saw this one.

As its name suggests, a wolf calls here like a bullet.

"Ugh... come on, hey!

Release the arrow.

Without aiming, I was scared and scared, and I let go of my arrow desperately.

All of that goes off all the time.

"Why! Why can't I hit it!?

I was already panicking when the wolf approached me so far.

Not only did the wolf decelerate toward us, it also accelerated the speed and hit the body.

"- Agu."

My breath stopped.

The sky and the earth invert.

Dancing through the universe, and a moment later, he was slapped to the ground.

"-"

I didn't even have a voice.

- It hurts. I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I don't want!

Forgot me for a moment for so much pain.

The wolf looked closely at himself like that, and then jumped when he could stab a stop.

Open your big mouth, chew the whistle into pieces.

- Father and everyone's face came to mind.

- Don't be ridiculous.

I stuck my whole hand with a bow in the mouth of a wolf with a big mouth open.

Wolves trying to chew a thousand with sharp fangs.

Heavy pain and blood erupted from my right hand.

"This way, not the prey."

Draw a string from it and arrow it.

I can't take it off.

Eat this too.

"That's the food!!

From the big mouth of a wolf, release an arrow.

A penetrating blow is of course the target's fatal wound.

The wolf melted like an illusion and disappeared.

On the spot, Wolf's fur remained.

"Yay... I can buy this, bread"

I grabbed that fur with my bloody hands and went back to church pulling my body together.

Eventually, that day, he went home and asked the priest to heel him, scolding him as if the thunder had fallen.

And they apologized, and they appreciated it.

Then sometimes I started out hunting with the priest.

Life was more stable than before, but it still didn't make a difference to the poor.

Such a life lasted for several years - the priest died.

I had a faint feeling about that to a priest who faded day by day.

I was surprised that there were still tears coming to me, and I was still excited that I had to hold on for the crying children.

"Am...... what do we do now"

"Don't worry, Lana. You ask for the children. Money is - make money."

Older self and Lana the same age who grew up in this church.

The two of us vowed to take care of the young orphans.

Lana can use magic.

He was trained as a Sister by the priest with his hand, so he was also officially allowed by the state to inherit the Church.

Lana is protecting the orphans.

Then I have to make a future for my children.

I don't mind making money as it is now.

I'm sure someone will starve again.

- More, I need to choose a job that I can earn.

I've been in a killing job since this time.

When I first shot people, it got dark in front of me.

On my way home, I threw up in the river.

- Still, the weight of large sums of money, like I've never seen before, was huge.

"- What's wrong with this? Ame? Such a lot of money..."

"... because I found a job that I could make a little money on"

"You said you could make money... you didn't sell your body!?

"No, I'm not."

I smile and wave bitterly at Lana for changing her blood phase.

Sleep tight.

"Ugh, yeah...... AM"

I feel distressed by Lana, who drops me off worried.

- It's worse than that.

"Am...?

Zero to confess to her, the Sister, locked herself in the room.

Then again, it's been awhile.

Since the decree of removal of the church where aging had progressed was issued, it was a good opportunity to move to a splendid church in Guo Nai.

It was a little expensive, but I've managed with my previous preparations.

The large number of rooms and the clean and large church were liked by all orphans.

On top of that, it is also close to a large park suitable for children to play in.

"Thanks, Ame. Thanks to you for everything."

"Mm, never mind. We were helped because we were each other."

Besides, Lana is responsible for running the church as a Sister.

The children of Guo Nai also gather to teach and take care of their studies.

- I do a much better job than I do.

"Okay, I'm going to work."

"... be careful"

I think maybe Lana thinly notices.

There was a figure of Lana dropping off herself, hand-in-hand to pray, pretending to be nothing wind and going to work as usual.

This job is between merchants.

A merchant on the other hand has asked me to turn off a rival I've been working on lately.

It would be a savage idea to destroy a competitor, but in a way, it's dividing it.

"... irrelevant. If you get paid, just do it."

Both the sniper points and the opponent's information have been searched down.

A merchant, who's always busy flying around the country, says he's coming home today.

The merchant was protected by an escort when he was out, and the house was defended thoroughly.

The specifications made me say things to the gold, so the sniper was for a moment until I got off the carriage protected by that escort and entered the house.

"Enough"

Soon, the sniper's arm was polished out.

It's so hard to remember who I was messing with in front of my target.

This body has already become just a tool.

Just killing people, to tools.

About the sniping point, for a while.

The goal is back.

Increase concentration.

Hold your breath.

I remember the illusion that time even stopped.

Target the target's steeple with a thousand eyes - release the death.

- Hit.

The target collapses and the people around him make a scene.

With that in my ass, I quickly tried to hide myself - a sight caught my eye.

A little kid who snipes at a merchant who snipes.

The figure of a crying child.

My hands, my legs, trembled.

What the hell are you doing?

To save everyone in the church?

- Then who else can I sacrifice?

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay...?

"- Ha, ha! hahahaha!!!

I didn't even know what that laugh was.

Still, for the sake of the kids, we have to wrap our tails around them and run home.

Lately, I don't know for myself.

This body is no longer a complete killer tool.

Even when I'm playing with the kids in the park, it seems somewhere up in the sky.

Second, I turned my face toward the big tree at the edge of the park - frozen.

(Silver hair! Target's!? How come? Found!?

I get anxious that the act immediately strayed from my face and planted extra suspicion on my opponent.

Sometimes I have been caught tailing before, but I have a thousand eyes, so I have never been caught in the footsteps.

... I'm good.

But don't even get involved with the kids -!

(It's not really even a target, but let it live - I can't keep it)

I thought so.

I immediately moved on to action.

I was trying to do a downcheck and explore the area of the silver-haired girl, and I came to the same park again that night to see what I was going to do.

- They're finding out, huh?

You're gonna put the kids in your hands!

"- I have no grudges, but I pick my anxiety buds"

Saying, squeeze the arrow.

I mock myself for such a thing.

- No one would have had a grudge, he said.

Release the arrow.

- Accepted.

What, that?

No, whatever it is, I'll make it pierced.

A magical thunderous counterattack comes.

But not at this distance, is it?

Again, squeeze the bow hard.

Release.

Did you have a good idea, I was avoided lying down?

Don't think I'll ever lift you up like that.

Be vigilant in your magic and move just a little bit to erect a bow.

That was the right answer, and I was lightning around where I was earlier with range magic.

Squeeze the bow again.

Stronger.

Release.

Again - I got it.

"What, that gold...?

Now, I'll never let you stop me.

Squeeze the arrows to the limit.

Now!

Release the arrow - still, I was taken.

I'm bleeding out of my mouth.

Moments later, silver bounced into the sky more.

Can you do that too?

Awesome.

Awesome, but - targeted.

"- A treat."

Release death to the silver that quickly sets up an arrow and comes in a straight line.

- The silver girl saw the moment this one released the arrow and moved slightly through the sky.

An arrow plundered her shoulder and she was swallowed up in the night sky.

……

Next... I can't make it.

I bowed down.

A girl jumps in.

Yeah, this makes it... easier.

That's what I thought, I meditated my eyes.

――

From a distance of consciousness, I heard a call here.

Open your eyes thinly.

- Alive?

"Hold on, please!

"Nah..."

A silver girl was wearing heels.

What? I'm sorry.

What do you mean?

To take the back, they let you live?

Kids being taken hostage?

No, no, no!

Where I opened my mouth to bite off my tongue, a girl who didn't miss it stuck her own arm in it.

Thin, luxurious arms.

I can't believe you cut a thousand of these arms off!

"Ugh... calm down, please!

- Come on, give me a stop!

"Huh? You just died. So no? Killer."

Do you really need to die?

A gentle smile on such a misplaced face drained me of poison.

I let go of the arm that was accidentally biting me.

I still wave and tell the silver girl who doesn't try to retreat her arm that she won't even bite her tongue anymore.

"If you lie, you'll be angry, won't you?

I almost laugh at that thing.

I manage to shake my neck vertically and respond with my arms stuck in my mouth.

Finally, the girl pulls her arm.

"To the children, don't put your hands on them. Please."

"I swear, I won't do that"

I don't - I don't think I'm lying.

Seeing someone with a thousand eyes.

I could see a little status information.

... half-elf?

Born to be annoying...... can you believe that for that matter?

"Yes. Believe it. Then make it stop."

Meditate your eyes.

"- Do you want to die that bad?

- Yeah, I think so.

To be honest, I was tired.

"... it's a takeover and sale from my loved ones"

I got my cheeks stretched out all I wanted.

"Life is important. Other people's - my own. So I won't allow you to give up and die"

"- Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt"

"Yes!?

A girl was staring at her own hands.

I sprinkled.

But...

"- It worked, maybe"

The girl looked incredibly happy with the zero voice and looked nice.

Lana, you're quitting your job.

I proclaim that to a girl like the sisters I grew up with when I was a little girl.

It's a grand non-working declaration.

Lana - with a full grin - nodded in tears at the sight of not even such a busy proclamation.

"Yeah, yeah, okay! Good job, thanks...... then ever, sorry NEIM!!

"Like a priest, Lana"

Appreciated or apologized for.

I look up into the sky, stroking the heads of such sisters.

- Father, is this a good idea?

I don't think I'll be forgiven, but I want to live for someone at least from now on.

"All this time, for us, thank you, Amy."

"... us? Was it for everyone?

"Ame always was, wasn't she? So, I'm sorry, so all I can say is thank you."

Take that word.

Though I understand that there is nothing I can do.

I feel saved.

That day, since the time of the priest's death - tears overflowed.
