Chapter 13: An Angel’s Pride
Upon hearing the sound of rushi+ng wings and the released arrow, Alice braced herself for the impact
But despite her preparedness, her strength left her and she collapsed
But, instead of falling to the ground, so her up
――There was a lovely scent
A clear and fresh scent, like a flower blooid cold of a tall mountain
There was also a pleasant sensation of so her cheek
Like the highest quality feathers――
“What the hell ――Even though I exist as the epitonity, it’s still pretty difficult to save cretins from their certain death”
A high-pitched voice
A voice that belonged to――
“――Premiere-san?” (Alice)
“Yep, it’s el of absolute beauty ――Oh, I’uide you to heaven you know I’el from the Heaven race, see? Fufu…!” (Premiere)
“…That is true There is no way a ant” (Alice)
“Fufufu…! If you’re still talking like that then that means you’re safe” (Premiere)
Prehtly,
“Don’t worry I’ to let you die You’re a cretin that I’m proud of, my cretin 1, you know? No matter what you’re supposed to work hard on my behalf, you know? That’s it! You can just exist for my sake!”
――Right nohat sort of face is she ?
Alice thought as she was supported by the angel she couldn’t see
She suddenly felt deep regret for her hasty actions that led to the loss of her vision
Also, Alice noticed that the arhtly
She was held close within Premiere’s arms, so Alice reached her arm out to touch Premiere’s back
She felt――
A war
――Impossible
“Premiere-san?”
“Wha~at?”
“――Please move away from there”
“Why? ――Fufu, a ood, I won’t listen to you! I’ive orders!! Not the one who follows theive orders must be the embodiment of nobility, and must be responsible for those they order you know? Not only that, a good woht, this is one of those times――Fufufu…!”
Alice drew up her strength and when she tried to shake off Premiere’s support――
“Fufu…!”
Premiere started
As if she bore the i
Once again Alice reached for her back――
She could feel the three arrohich were buried there
“…tch!” (Alice)
――No
Thinking this, Alice gathered her strength once again and tried to break free from Premiere
But――
“Oho? Even though you’re being e to escape? Ahaha, Alice, you’re awfully willful aren’t you?!”
After saying Alice’s nath in her arms than before, and held Alice close
――Ah…
She noticed
She’s definitely o
Because of her pride
Premiere completely believes in her ridiculous creed, that cretins must be protected, and she is the only person she can trust to protect them
This angel is a stubborn, and willful――
――idiot
Pres blood continued to flow freely
――There was another
Most likely Shayna had let loose another arrohich had found its way into Premiere’s back
――Why?
――Why did she protect me?
In an indirect way, I areatest foes
“You’re et it Listen up! I’ll teach you soive the trash who try to killme I’ve decided that I will track down all the bastards who dared to kill my cretins and kill them myself That’s why, the ones who dared to lay a hand on my cretins, this Pure race trash, I’ll kill them when I find them”
She continued,
“That said, at the end of the day, I’ to refuse someone because they are from Atem, or because they are one of the Pure race, I’m not like Atem and their exclusion of the Other races I don’t believe in their blind devotion I don’t have those sort of beliefs like the Atedom, I do what I…want to do That’s why――!”
She jolted as another arrow hit her,
“I will protect the cretins that I have chosen I don’t hate you for being fro a me half-Other race At this point, that stuff doesn’t matter ――Alice, I’ll protect you because you’re my cretin”
Another arrow struck,
“The ones who killed my previous cretins are my enemies Not you Isn’t that fine? That cretin 50――Sare-so said it was fine, that we just needed to protect you He didn’t say we had to be the same…race…In other words, that…is…that――”
The words jumbled and failed her, but she conveyed most of it
Despite it’s abrupt end, for some reason Alice accepted her explanation
Preant, and conceited But because she is honest with herself and never lies, her self-esteem never wavers
This is what Alice realized fro with her this past month
Alice also ith left Premiere’s arms――and she cried out,
