Side Story 16
“…..…!”
Alice, who seemed to be about to blow something similar to the last blow to Gyerg, frowned and widened the gap when she saw Ash.
As Ash got off the terrace, Gyerg gasped and slid down.
“I can't believe you're here just now……..”
“What should I do?”
“Whoa……. what?”
“To restore that body, should I have to first suppress it without a wound?”
“It would be nice to think about it after you get it back, but…… can you do it? Or if you break an arm or leg, maybe it'll stick back together so………”
Gyerg calmly made a violent sound about my body. That thing.
However, I didn't say anything because I saw him throwing up blood while fighting because of me, and his words are not really wrong.
Rather, it seemed that Alice was more offended by that remark than me.
“Oh, you're not going to kill me, you're going to suppress me and change my body to normal? No matter how much you’re half, your behaviour is too fall off, but that's what your purpose is all along?”
Gyerg seemed to be furious at the expression that he too fell off, but he did not move from his position.
Alice laughed at me.
“Even, what? Do you want to suppress me without a wound? Aren't you guys mistaken? No way!! Do you think I used the trick to change my body because I couldn't be healed? Don't be ridiculous. It's just….”
Then Ash didn't wait for Alice's words anymore and attacked her.
Alice was surprised and stepped back and shook her hand.
The explosion, which had already been heard repeatedly, rang again.
But I was more anxious than ever. My mouth was dry with tension.
Ash lowered his raised arm over his face.
Even after Alice's attack, Ash's expression did not change.
It was Alice who changed her complexion.
“Devil.”
“I’m not a devil……well, yeah, call me whatever you want. Why?”
“Should I just restrict the movement?”
“Well, maybe that'll do. Just stop it from moving.”
Alice, who seemed to be slowing down after fighting Ash, changed her momentum violently again in their conversation.
“Cheeky!”
Alice waved her hand crazily in the air.
In response, an explosion broke out constantly around Ash.
Ash seemed to raise his arms or bend his head to avoid an invisible explosion, and at one point, he approached Alice and reached out his hand.
“Gasp!”
Alice, who avoided Ash’s hand by a narrow margin, hurriedly bit her body and left the gap far away.
I let out a sigh of regret.
“What a shame.”
Gyerg let the words of my heart come from his mouth.
Then Gyerg didn't stop there but went one more step.
“You could've caught it if you stretched out more emotionally. You're slowing down because of that face, right? Hey, Duke, after all, you're a human, too.”
What? Is that so?
Ash didn't answer, but instead, Alice crumpled her face that could be seen from afar.
The look on her face seemed to help Gyerg's words to be true.
Well, there must be something he can feel better from the point of view that he’s bumped into it.
“Damn it, where is that man…….”
“That's ridiculous, isn't it? It’s absurd, right? Well, me too. Do you know how I felt at first?”
Why is he so excited?
Whether Gyerg's delight or not, Ash narrowed the gap between Alice.
This time, Alice did not attack but ran away as much as she could, keeping her distance from Ash.
Then Gyerg booed.
“Ooh~! I'm embarrassed~!”
“Shut up!”
Alice shouted but kept her eyes on Ash.
Alice stepped back very slowly, staring straight at Ash.
Then she took the hand to the neck. The fingernails were sharply cut at the neck, similar to what I've done.
I was frightened. Exactly that is my neck.
“You said the aim was to have a body without a scratch, right? So, how about this one? If you come a little closer from there, I'll cut the throat like this.”
“Coward!”
“You shut up! Before I just drew it because of you.”
Alice gritted her teeth. I couldn't help but grab the railing.
That's the kind of threat……. of course, I did something similar, but……!
“Think carefully. You know, the human body is very soft and weak. I can simply finish it.”
“So you're going to kill yourself now?”
“Or do you want me to damage the vocal cords and dig the eyes? Not to the point of death. So when she got back her body, she would be blind and dumb. It would be fun.”
Alice giggled and laughed.
I strengthened my hand holding the railing till it turned white.
The idea was wicked and vicious enough to match the name because it wasn't anyone but a demon.
At that time, Ash, who had been silent about what Alice was doing, opened his mouth.
“Noonim.”
“Huh?”
Ash hasn’t called me like that in a long time. As soon as I answered reflexively, the question came back.
“Do you have any lingering feelings about that body?”
“……..”
I realized as soon as I heard Ash's question.
A lot will be decided by my answer now.
“I'm…….”
I.
I relaxed my grip on the railing. It was definitely not an easy topic to choose, but the moment I heard Ash's voice, the answer came out surprisingly quickly.
“I only have lingering feelings for you.”
“Okay.”
Ash walked a few steps and grabbed the decorative sword from the wall.
Of course, once it was in Ash's hands, it was no longer for decoration.
Alice turned her face blue.
“You, no way…….!”
“Is there one last thing you want to say? I'll listen to you when you're in that body.”
“Crazy people!”
“It's a little short for a will.”
Ash took a step in place. Then Alice leaped forward and climbed to the roof of the house.
Alice, who stood close to the top, chewing and spitting.
“Okay, okay, but I'd rather die with my own hand than that hand.”
I couldn't hear what it was because she was too far away, but my intuition cooled me down.
The next moment, Alice jumped down without a hitch.
I shouted before I could even realize it.
“My body!”
Ash stormed out of his position.
Just before Alice fell to the ground, Ash safely took the fall.
As soon as relief flooded in without realizing it, Alice's expression changed.
“You got caught.”
“What?”
At that moment, Alice pulled Ash and kissed him.
“Al……!”
The blood has cooled off.
My heart seemed to stop beating. I couldn't call Alice's name or Ash's name, so I became stiff and then collapsed.
My hands were shaking.
Cold blood seemed to escape from my whole body.
Because of me.
If I hadn't shouted like that. I said I didn't have any lingering feelings about that body, but if I hadn't yelled so much in a hurry.
It's my fault. Because of me.
There was no room for even tears in the place where despair was filled. I kept my mouth shut with trembling.
“Human.”
“…….”
“Hey, human!”
“…….”
“Wake up and look down! Down there! I know what's wrong with you, but your man's fine!”
“……what?”
At Gyerg's words, I finally looked outside the railing, under the terrace.
Alice was lying on the ground with her neck and hands caught by Ash and her movements restrained.
I murmured blankly.
“Ash?”
I could hear Ash's voice like a reply.
No different from usual
“Devil.”
“I'll just change my name. Why!?”
“What should I do now?”
“Wait, hold on to it for now. I will take the owner of the body down.”
Gyerg continued to fly in the air with me.
I couldn't get rid of my blank expression when I fell slowly in the air with Gyerg’s help.
Alice shouted, lying face down.
“How…! I'm sure, I’m sure I kissed right!”
“Oh, you idiot.”
Gyerg approached Alice and clenched his tongue.
“Do you still not know when you've attached him? So you thought your powers would work on him? Are you this naive or just your brain is lacking?”
A shrugged Gyerg looked down at Alice. The voice that followed contained a heavy sincerity somewhere.
“If he was such a human being, I would have run away with a knife in my belly long before.”
What?
Gyerg's remarks, which are difficult to pass by, escaped a little.
Gyerg continued after a bad cough.
“Anyway, even with your brainwashing magic, the foundation is magic after all. Haven't you tried any other magic? Have you ever tried any magic to the Duke?”
“No way, sleep magic ……!”
Alice's voice, which was shouting, died down.
She spouted as if she had realized something after a short silence.
“…….I see. Then it wasn't that your half broke the magic then. You just didn't fall asleep from the beginning.”
“Did you put a sleeping spell on him? Hey, that was exhaustive. It was all for nothing.”
Gyerg laughed and teased Alice. Alice opened her eyes fiercely as if she were about to tear Gyerg to death.
But that was not the end of Gyerg's prank.
“Do you want me to make you more pissed off? You're being played by the Duke.”
“What?”
“When you ran frantically up to the top of the mansion, honestly, I had a feeling that he knew of what you were going to do, and was preparing to use the magic. But the Duke stopped you from using hand gestures.”
“…….!”
I looked back at Ash in surprise.
“Then that means…….”
“The Duke drove you on purpose. He knew that if you really think you're going to die, you will try to brainwash him like this, but instead, he’s brainwashed you reversely and to suppress the body safely. What do you say, Duke?”
Alice's expression hardened. She struggled and shouted before Ash could answer anything.
“Don't be ridiculous! Do you think I couldn't tell it apart? The Duke really tried to cut me down! If I hadn't gone up to the roof of the house, He would have really stabbed me!”
