Chapter 25
Their distance
This world had two moons
One blue, one red
The way the blue moon seemed to chase the red s frolicking around, made me smile
”The twin ht, without any clouds
”Yeah, it's cal my heart”
So they were named Klayne and Krysna
Well, put frankly they were moons
Somehow it seemed like there'd be a story behind it
But it really was a mysterious scenery
When I had otten to look up to the sky because I hadn't been able to see the stars anyway, but this world's nature is really mysterious and wonderful
No, well, that's the same in my former world, but it depended on where you were
In that sense, where I aht now really is wonderful
”Alice-sama, doesn't——your neck hurt?”
”A little”
Unnaturally looking up at the sky for a long time did make my body feel uncomfortable after all, it seems
I understood Ilya co closer from the sound of the water
”W-why are you co closer, Ilya?”
”Well, ht I should be as close as possible to become your shi+eld”
Ilya you're such a good girl!
But right now, I don't need your concern!
”This lake has few stones and the soft sand feels nice Is the water teht for you?”
Coe on the ground
I'd thought it would suck to accidentally cut ht be okay to walk around a bit
”It's not that cold, so I'o under a bit? Like, splash?”
I'd finally had enough and turned around to Ilya to mess with her a bit
My eyes were locked to her face, though
Still, Ilya wet fro picture
Illuht, it wasn't too much to called her a faery
”You are so very beautiful”
”eh?”
”The word may be used a lot, but Alice-sama, I feel there is no necessity to use other words”
”T-thank you”
Suddenly being told the word that had gone through my head made me feel like she'd read my heart
Ahh, she'd surprised me
Soht
”But I shall dare say it”
you are?
”Your bewitching hair glittering in thein the village of the faeries I could lose olden eyes are the very jewels of ae lands by the God-dragon In addition to the alluring strength in those eyes, your face is so fair that it fascinates ender, as does your well-balanced body Alice-sama, you are akin to a Goddess sent by the Gods”
”i-is that so? Somehow, sorry”
Sorry, for cheating
What's this, her praise makes my heart hurt
Furtherends handed down in this world to praise !
”——but the most beautiful aspect of you, Alice-sama, is your beautiful heart”
””
”My, you do not believe me?”
Seeing hed impishly
I was pleasantly surprised
I'd only seen her refined conduct, but she could also se
”It is as clear as day to ic”
”——Ha-hahaha!”
What is this Ilya is polite, beautiful, reliable, docile and just a little bit distant
——of course, if I had to say if I liked or disliked her, I like her
Even more than before
”Ilya, that's what you're like?”
”Yes, that's what I'm like”
”Hehe”
The so Ilya was so funny I couldn't hold in the giggle
”Ahh, this feels so nice Alright, tio splash”
I let myself fall backwards into the water just like that
There was a little splash, but
”Cold!”
However, sub my whole body in the water really was a bit chilly
”Then, me too”
Next to me, Ilya let herself fall just like me
Ilya didn't ht next to ot the full brunt of it
”Wawa, you're getting water all over me! Come on ahaha!”
”I got caught up in the moment just a little bit Hehe, I'm deeply sorry, Alice-sama”
The two of us floated in the lake, under the light of the moon
With this sensation of becohts came up
”Ilya, be honest with me ——do you want to be set free?”
”No, not at all”
Her reply was instant
”Are you being considerate?”
”Do you think I am?”
”I ht be”
”My? Hehe, Alice-sa the mood”
”Let's say I can't and am troubled by it every day?”
Mood? What's that?
”I really want to live with you forever, Alice-sama,” Ilya replied with just a little bit of seriousness in her voice
”As the honoredyou wasmy lowly personal desires”
That talk, that she had with Till
I see
”So you have ulterior motives?”
”Yes Are you disillusioned?”
”No, I'm rather relieved”
Isn't thatthe object of a loyalty for unknown reasons?
Being with me has some kind of merit for Ilya
——Or it ht in the future
That's how it is”I think having human flaws is important, you know?”
”Alice-sama”
I hold out rasp the moon
Hu it, or not trying it at all, are both no good
Well, finding the right measure is difficult
But in that respect, reading thewith people
”I alad to have eh, this presence!?”
Ilya's whisper turned into surprise and she jumped up
I looked around for what had surprised her, but there was nothing
Only the sound from the water as Ilya had jumped up penetrated the silence
And still, Ilya warily looked around
Was she reflecting on the event at noon?
Sheesh, Ilya, you're so serious
”Ilya?”
The rabbed my arm
Hm?
Who?
”?”
I looked at my stretched-out arm
So from the water surface rapped all around it
”Hiiii!”
Disgusting!?
”Alice-sama!? My carelessness!!”
The ed away from the shore with incredible force
Ilya who had been right next to
”Wa-, just ere at the good paaart!”
Forget the eency situation: Read the mood already, you damn squid monster!!
In no time at all, Ilya and I were drawn near the middle of the lake and then under water
”Uwah! It's under water!?”
”Take a deep breath, Alice-sama!”
As per advice, I took a deep breath before ed
I could hear the water like a buzz in my ears
Underwater was like yet another world
It had yet another stillnessthan silent air
This silencefrom water pressure!
If we got drawn too deeply, it'd be bad!
Level 15 Lake Sepia
My elven eyes found the ene at the bottom of the lake
Even with little light, I could see it
It looked like an archetypical invertebrate with a number of tentacles
Its leg which rapped around my arm had suckers and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't pull it off
The two protruding eyes hich it stared at us left no blind spots
Its appearance was just like that thing
You know
It's a squid!
Such a na fraud!
No, well, at the h
