《Barrier Alice | ✔》[19]
Advertisement
It was 3 am and she woke up. For some reason, she can't sleep all that well, like something is bugging her at the back of her mind. She looked around and saw her brothers and sisters sprawled around her bed- sleep soundly after a few rounds of card game- well except for yoi-chan. He sleeps soundly in her baby cot.
Prying Sophie's hand from hugging her arm, she slowly walked to the toilet and changed her clothes to her outdoor wear. She decided to have a midnight walk to help her calm.
She wore a long overcoat with checker black and brown pattern and took a pouch which filled with ointment and some healing stone that was gifted by Kao-baa san 2 months ago. Lastly, she wore a black mask with a small sakura flower at the corner - a mask that covers half of her face. She then tied her hair into a bun and hide it inside a black beanie.
Felt that she is warm enough and decided that her identity was properly hidden, she leaped out of her room through her window. She was on the second floor so jumping down is not a big deal. Then, she proceeds to walk into the forest beside the elementary dorm. It's the northern wood forest.
Now, don't get her wrong, yes, the northern wood, is someway, somehow dangerous. There's mr.bear hut, moving trees and many unknown things. But first, she has a barrier Alice, which pretty much protect her. And second, amidst the 'dangerously weird forest', there's this rainbow-colored lake somewhere in the middle of it. She stumbled upon it a few months ago when searching for a larger training ground. It was beautiful and breathtaking. Oh! And she also found a training ground too later, but nowhere near the lake.

Decided that tonight is one of those rare nights where she is alone, and can't sleep, she wanted to venture into the forest and went straight to the lake.
Who knows, maybe that lake has special property that could maybe improved Alice or something?
She was bemused in her own thoughts that she did not realize a boy with a cat mask tumble out of the bushes not far from her. Only when she heard a solid thud that she realized somebody had fainted nearby.
Not far from here, she saw that guy struggling to stand.
Wait. is that...
"Hyuuga-kun?"
At her soft voice, carry out that name, the boy, none other than Natsume whip his face towards her direction. He was in so much pain and shocked. Shocked that he met someone else here who seems to know him. Refused to be approached by strangers, Natsume struggled against his heavy leg and tried to walk away.
However, to no avail, he fell down for the umpteenth time. Amy knowing Natsume is in so much pain, she quickly walked towards him.
He has bleeding; concussion on his head, and his left leg. It looks like something sharp pierced it. And his face is pale.
Observation and question can wait. I need to provide emergency treatment first.
She immediately opens up her pouch, revealing bandage, ointments, water, and healing Alice stone. When she realized that Natsume wanted to get away, she quickly pushes him to lay down again while sending a stern gaze.
"I won't ask anything. But let me heal you"
Seeing that he has no choice, Natsume just let himself treated by the stranger.
Amy first took out a clean cloth in which she slowly dab and cleans any blood on his body. Next, she put on some ointment on scabs and scraps that she could see. Then, she took his temperature and note that he is higher than usual. She then uses healing Alice stone and tried to use it in several places with medium to slightly heavy injury.

After the bleeding stop and the healing is done, while not 100% recover, his face looks better than earlier. No longer deathly pale. She then took out a paracetamol and a bottle of water. Helping him to sit up for a bit, she asked him to drink the medicine.
"Good. You should be ok by now. I have limited things with me now, but I highly advise you to go and see the doctor. Hopefully no infection..ok then. Take this scarf with you"
"Who are you?"
"No can do. My secret is mine alone. I don't ask yours and I hope you do the same."
"Fair enough... this.."
"Just take it. I have plenty. And.. take this too." she held out healing Alice stone which she has in spare to him. He needs it. Seeing that he wanted to reject it, she quickly forced it into his hand.
"Kbye." she quickly ran away before Natsume can stop her. Natsume just sighed, while feeling grateful. That person is a bit rough but warm.
"Thank you..." Natsume then proceeds to walk out of the forest and straight to his room. Meanwhile, Amy decided to go to the lake first so that she won't accidentally meet him on the way.
"Hmm.. I wonder if I should take some sample tonight?" she hummed slowly not realizing another figure watched her in the dark of the event from the beginning. Unaware of a pair of curious glint that just looks at her.

Silven isn’t too happy when he stops to consider his miraculous prison escape, a guiding voice on the air and the herd of terrifying black knights hunting him down and realises he may be important.

I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical.

Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time.
