Vol 1 Chapter 18 (2/2)

Dammit!

damn those bandits, I'm out of options!

The bandits came closer and closer

But of course, I had no intention of escaping

I didn't

Ahh so these guys are going to

Such brutes are going to

I can't even cry anymore

One of the h by a spear

”——eh?”

”GYAHHH”

Screa out pathetically, the bandit rolled over the floor”

”What the!?”

In a panic, the other turned towards the entrance fro

I'd also confirmed

The person who had thrown the spear from entrance

”——Please refrain fro Alice-sama”

Blond hair, green eyes

That courteous manner of speech

Those features you never forgot once you've seen them just once

”Ilya!”

Why is she here?

No, now isn't the time to ask why, is there?

”I am late, Alice-sama Here I come!”

No, Ilya hasn't fought before, has she!?

”You bitch! I'll hurt you for what you did!”

The unwounded bandit drew his scimitar and rushed at the unarmed Ilya

I was in a predica others in trouble is bad for my heart!

When the bandit charging at her swung down his scirabbed his arm and used his momentum to throw him

———Aikido!?

”Urg!?”

The man moaned as he smashed into the floor

Ilya had Agility 1

But her movements——okay, they hadn't been that fast

In the end, she hadand naturally slipped inside his reach

A Ilya!

”——I'll kill you, bitch!”

The bandit who had taken Ilya's spear to the hand went into a frenzy and slashed at her

Ilya was still off-balance

”Watch o-”

The scimitar cut into her

That's what I thought

I, and the bandit, too

” Haa?”

The bandit was surprised, and my mouth didn't close, either

Ilya——

”Too light”

She had stopped the scimitar with one arm

With her slender arm

Had I done that, the arm would've been off

For certain

While ere dulided forward and switched places with the bandit Now in front of me, she picked up the dropped spear and skewered the bandit with it

”Grgrl”

”Hiii!”

Seeing that, the thrown bandit ran for the door to escape, but that's where his life ended, too

”What an eyesore,” said the man with a look in his eyes so mean you'd take him for a bandit Blackie

”Solt san?”

With the daggers in both his hands, Blackie had cut down the bandit in an instant

”Why are?”

”Hah, I'd have a problem if you died on me”

Blackie didn't meet my eyes and looked away

”Thank you very much”

Is he a tsundere?

Nono, even if he is, does that ?

I don't want any men!

But I'm still thankful!

Really

But now————!

”Please, be safe!”

While thanking Ilya and Blackie, I focused on healing

I wonder how long I've been at it now

Mana and stamina have crossed the limit already

It feels like the lacking h stamina

I' out

Whittling awayAunty's

Without exaggerating, that's how it is

”———cough, Alice chan”

”Aunty”

She made it!

Aunty still seemed far from her best, but compared to before, her smile was far more relaxed

”Alice-chan, you're so a”

”Aunty!?”

”She is alright, Alice-sama I believe she just fell asleep”

On Ilya's prompt, I checked Aunty's condition

Certainly, her expression was cal

She was breathing!

”I saved her?”

On the other hand, I was in blank amazement

”Yes As expected, Alice-sama!”

”I saved her”

”Alice-sama's devotion and loveliness were very radiant to me”

However, they say people who don't treasure themselves cannot save others

”Eh?”

Strength left my body

Not listening to er, my body crumbled to the floor

I couldn't even speak anymore

My consciousness becaue

Did I push myself too much?

”Alice-sama! Oh no, you exhausted yourself too much!

Ilya embraced me

I still couldn't move

Ahh, too late, my consciousness———

”———Please excuse me, Alice-sama You can scold me for this later!”

With those words, Ilya bent over me

”Eh———h!?”

Alice and Ilya, by NinetH

Ilya kissed me

Only that fact filled my mind

”Nn”

Ilya's beautiful face was flushed

My thoughts couldn't catch up, so I let her do as she pleased

Just, I felt so hot flow frohout

Energy welled up

Froht I almost wouldn't wake up from anymore, my consciousness stabilized, too

As my consciousness stabilized, I couldn't help but wonder and wonder about the feeling of Ilya's lips

Kisses did they really feel this good?

”Ha-a once more, please excuse my behavior Alice-sama”

”Ah”

For aized

” oy”

”!?”

Blackie's voice made me come to my senses

My body was

I pushed Ilya aside and stood up

”H-how is the situation outside!? We have to hurry and beat those bandits!”

”Just have a look”

Blackie urged me to, so I quickly left the housed

For the moment, Ilya and Aunty were left inside

”This is?”

When I ca had turned into a winter landscape

The burning buildings had all been extinguished

An impossible amount of sudden snow

But it was gentle snow

It stifled the fires and gently wrapped up the town

It was doubtlessly snow, but touching the flakes falling from the sky, they were so very warm

”A”

I instinctively recognized it as ic

In the time I saved one person, Till had saved the whole town

What a contrarian of a elf

What aic

While watching the snow dancing in the air, I only had one thought

One day
