Finding Alesse hiding behind his back, William feels a pleasure of his own, as if he is a dashing man protecting a girl. So happy, he laughed too.
"Just calm down, Alice! He's not going to attack us" William said. "really?" Alesse tried to get out of William's back.
"Hm! But this is so weird! Not as usual he showed such behavior! Usually he would raise his head if he found a water witch! You know that too, right? The basilisk is the controller of the water" William said as he stared at Alesse.
"Hmm, it seems so," said ALesse briefly. "Aren't you a fire witch?" ask William. "Huh?" Alesse was a bit confused to answer William's question. Some people consider him a lightning wizard, but others consider him a fire wizard. During this time he had never given an explanation of his ambiguous identity, nor could he say that he was a magician who could control all elements.
"Ehm, that's weird! Maybe the animal was interested in you," said Alesse. "He's a stud" William said briefly. "Eh? Is that so?" Alesse had no response to end the talk.
"Alright, let's just move on to the next place" William said. Alesse continued to follow him from behind while looking at the flow in and out of the castle.
Eventually the two of them stopped at a bulkhead containing a large mound. "What is this thing? I just saw a mound of dirt," said Alesse. "Wait a minute" said William then whistled.
Shortly after, an animal full of thorns on its back appeared from inside the mound. He seemed to greet Wiliiam by trying to stand like a human. Alesse laughed as he saw the adorable animal acting up.
William is thrilled that the animal caught Alesse's attention, unlike any animal before him. "This is Echotter, I call him Wallace. It's adorable, isn't it?" ask William.
"It looks like a beaver, but its body looks really big huh!" said Alesse, what is in his mind now is how the revolution changes that occur in the animal. Unfortunately William captures another impression that Alesse shows, he thinks Alesse is very interested in the animals.
"Unfortunately this animal can only be tamed on a land mage like me. Too bad you can't caress her head" William said. He did not realize that the thorny beaver immediately jumped towards ALesse and stroked his head on his cheek.
"Eh? Heh! How could? He should only dare to approach the earth mage! He hides the thorns on his back.... It's really amazing! I've never seen him like that!" william exclaimed, he was carried away by the beaver. He kept staring at Alesse, hoping he would give him a chance to caress the animal's back.
"Boe.... Can I touch it?" ask William. "Of course, it's yours, right?" said Alesse astonished, unfortunately when William tried to touch his back, but the animal's thorns immediately sticking out, making William's palm hurt.
William had screamed in pain while the beaver immediately ran towards the mound of land to hide. "You're too rash" said Alesse, he immediately made bandages and cleaning fluid along with red medicine.
"Don't move yet!" said Alesse, he began rubbing the wound on William's hand with a cleansing liquid and then rubbing it with red medicine. "A.....What water is that? It smells awful!" william panicked. "Be quiet, this will make you heal quickly" Alesse said, wrapping William's palm with a bandage.
William kept staring at Alesse in silence. He recalled dragging Alice to a fall and getting hurt, but he could do nothing to treat her, and he let her walk. Of course, that memory made him feel even more guilty.
"Well, this should heal quickly, you won't have any more pain after sleeping all night, but the wound will etapak imprint on the palm of your hand," said Alesse.
"Well, what do I think! You seem to be worried about that! And you don't care at all when I'm limping, do you?" ask Alesse. "Mom.... It's not! Not that I don't care...." William was denying.
"Yes! Aye! I knew! A spoiled child like you might know how to treat a wound like this" Alesse said. "We'd better go to the next place" William asked. I don't know what he was thinking, he tried to embrace Alesse's shoulder .
"Mom..... It's nothing, when we hold hands will be even stranger," said William. "Why did you even think of holding hands with me? How strange!" Alesse.
"I... Yes, it must be very strange! Ma's... Therefore, it's better this way," said William. It felt like he was dating.
Soon Claire arrives, furious that William is embracing Alesse's shoulder. "Hey stupid! Why did you bring Alesse to a place like this? You think a girl would be interested in this boring place?" claire asked irritatedly, she immediately pulled Alesse's arm away from William.
"You must be tired of having to accompany that stupid kid here, let's just get out" Claire said. "No, I was still curious about some more animals, ' said Alesse, but Claire kept urging him to leave the place immediately.
"It's not good to be here, Alesse! Animals are dangerous! What if we go around town? There's a cafe I want to show you! The food there is so good!" exclaim Claire.
Finally Alesse was forced to obey him because the one who invited him to go to play was not William, but Claire. After exiting the castle, Claire appears so attached to Alesse's side, she even forces ALesse to hold her hand.
The other girls were surprised by Claire's behavior, she treated Alesse like a man.
As the girls were engrossed in walking in the city alley, suddenly some people dressed in shabbiness came to their head. The men looked so stout that even the girls were terrified, they were immediately hidden behind each other's backs. In the end they all hid behind Alesse.
'A... Alessie! A.... I'm scared!" claire said as she clasped Alesse's hand firmly.
"Hehe, look at these little girls! Where are your bodyguards? Do you not secretly run away from home? Your father could be angry if he knew this, "one of the men said.
Alesse grimaced widely as he looked at the men with a sinister look. "It seems like animals like you are always coloring my life. The readers might get bored of being treated to this kind of scene! The men who ambushed the little girls. You guys are really ruining a man's good name! Really cowardly!" alesse was upset.
Shortly thereafter several city guards caught the ambush. Finally the men in shabby clothes left. "Thank God you're okay, thank you for taking the time out so I can call for reinforcements here" one of the guards told Alesse. The girls were also amazed at him.
"Alesse, you're really great! You are so brave!' exclaimed one of the girls, several other girls also praised him, making Claire not have the opportunity to praise him.
"Argh! Why did it go like this!" claire was upset.
