Be it Onee-chan, be it Ilya, Till I haven't asked Till, but I guess that goes without asking
I o
” do you have connections in the capital?”
”None at all”
”I ht become your patron in the capital”
”EH!?”
Cira looked ateyes
So radiant
”I' close with a good s like you, I think that's so to look forward to”
If she won't have a place to live in the capital, I won'ther one
Of course first I'll have to get
”A golden egg, you're e meow me”
Even if you say that, I won't let you escape, you kmeow?
This girl h smith to cause rumors even if I leave her alone
That I've met her nohile she's still an apprentice could be my luck
Her inscriptions haven't started circulating, either
Hmm
If possible, I want to monopolize her
And I want her to produce order-made equipment for me
”My dream is to open a shop in the capital, or rather, to find one, right person a the many people there and beco exclusive is every smith's dream!”
”Mine! Become my smith!”
Ah, I didn't mean to say that out loud
”I-I couldn't Alice-san emeow”
Ahh
This cuteness that makes me writhe inside, is it that kind?
The cuteness of animals?
I'm also certain what's hidden under that hat, Cira
”Sorry, I got ahead of myself If I don't shoorthy of you, there's no point talking about it, is there? Please use this escort e meow skills”
I don't mind
Who would willingly become the personal smith of someone weak?
Cira must also have the pride of a craftsman
I'll have to show her my power
Enough power to shock her heart
——I'll show her ic

On a hill outside town, on the way to the Ruins, we encountered a formidable foe
Ahh, I see
Outside town, the ene
I o to such ruins
Yepyep
I agilely avoided the fore
”Alice-sa to blow it away?”
”Eh?”
Blow it away?
Ilya, who I had asked to protect Cira, was curiously cocking her head
Monsters areCira didn't need much persuasion
”where I am from, there were people who could coht now That's how I feel”
”You can do that? That's a, Alice-sama”
”Do your best!”
With their encouragees like a matador
Heh, I've already seen through your attacks
They won't work on me!
”Huhhh”
I took a deep breath
This ani me because it's scared
They are scared, those animals
That edy here
Can we allow that to go on?
No!
It's wrong!
When we give up because we can't understand each other, that is the real end
Even if everyone else gives up, I won't!
”See I'm not scary”
I crouched down and stretched outformidable foe
I could tell Ilya and Cira atching over me with bated breath
The formidable foe looked at me with its round, adorable eyes
”?”
It looked at me somewhat dubiously
”I'm not scary”
””
The formidable foe and I stared at each other, and when my hand was finally about to touch its——
”——WOAH!!”
didn't touch
The et bitten, I pulled back my hand
”How is this possible It was still scared of me”
I quickly built up some distant
The forht at me
What indomitable will rested in those cute, adorable eyes!
”I see It is my duty to answer that will, is it”
I for
My body became hot
Light gathered
”——Blade of Light descending frohtning!”
The ic I had recently learned mercilessly pierced the formidable foe
The formidable foe quietly fell forward
I walked up to it and embraced the fallen formidable foe
”This is the only way”
While the soft body in my arms faded, I shed a tear
Farewell
”Alice-sama”
”What?”
”Just noas that ic necessary?”
A lion uses its full strength even to hunt a rabbit, they say
You're still too naive, Ilya
Today the sky is so clouded, it looked to be al
The sky is crying for you, too
Rest in peace, my friend
