Interlude II
On one cold morning in autumn, Alice looked out of the window after finished cleaning dishes. The weather was nice and clear, so she decided to ask the person to go out to the hill nearby.
There was no answer.
The young black haired man sitting on a chair in the small 2-room house just kept staring at the ground.
He was very thin, clearly even more than Alice herself.
He had no right arm.
His pupils are jet black like his hair, but they had no light within. It pained her greatly to look at him in this state.
She suppressed her pain as she continued talking in a cheerful manner. She took of her apron and grabbed scarf and overcoat for both herself and the young man. It wasn't hard to put the overcoat on the man, as he could still stood on his own, although barely, of course, he couldn't walk.
She brought a wheelchair to replace the chair the man sat on until now, before pushing it out of the house.
But before they could leave, the young man raised his voice 'Ah— …… ah—' and stretched his hand out, it was then, that she realized what she forgot.
She walked to the south wall of the room, there, stood three swords, on the right was her own golden long sword 'Sword of Fragrant Olive', on the left was the young man's jet black long sword 'Sword of Night Sky', and in the middle, the 'Sword of Blue Rose' was the pure white long sword of another young man, who was no longer here.
Alice grabbed the black sword and the white leather scabbard off the wall, the white sword had only half the weight of the black one, because its blade was half broken. She took both swords to the young man and placed them at his knees, he embraced the swords before continue looking down. The two swords were the only thing the young man would show any reaction to.
"……Alright, let's go, Kirito."
She swallowed the pain again before pushing the wheelchair out of the house.
The log house was built on the small clearing deep within the forest, Alice cut down the tree and tore of the bark herself, while elder Garitta helped with the construction. The house didn't look good, but it was strong enough for both of them.
Elder Garitta told Alice that this clearing was the place she and the owner of the Sword of Blue Rose always came to play when they were young, but of course, Alice didn't have any memory of that. She explained to all the villagers that she forgot her old memories, but the truth was, she actually Alice Synthesis Fifty, the Integrity Knight who occupied the body of Alice
Schuberg of Rulid village. She wanted to return the body to her, but
Alice Schuberg, as well as Eugeo, were no longer in this world.
From their house, walking about an hour would be Rulid village, but she would avoid going there if it wasn't necessary. She headed toward the east, to the hill she told Kirito earlier.
