"Teacher... help me, teacher...

　Buck wakes up.

　Right now I'm taking turns with Fee to get some light sleep. And now it was just my turn.......I heard Alice's voice.

　No, maybe hearing is not the right way to describe it.

　It was as if it echoed directly into my head........such a feeling. Of course, I immediately check with Fee.

'Fee, did you hear that?'
What... what?　What happened to you when you suddenly woke up?
I knew it...

　Then he decided to explain to Fee what had just happened. Not that this is the first time this has happened. Just before I descended into this underground space, I heard Alice's voice.

　I was the only one who could hear that voice. Fee's, on the other hand, didn't hear it.

　It's reasonable to assume that this is something.

'I see. I see. Could it be that Princess Alice is calling out to Elle directly?　I'm not sure of the means.
'Yes. The voice was also calling out to me for help. It might be reasonable to think so. It's hard to believe that he's just picking up the words he's muttering, though.
Yeah. Well, I'll go to bed next.
Yeah. Here, use my knee.
Well, I'll leave you to it.

　There's no bedding here for a nap, though. I used to borrow Fee's lap to take a nap, too.

　So we're going to take turns, and I honestly encourage Fee to put her head in my lap.

　 After a while, you can hear Fee's sleep.

　She is breathing in her sleep, but she must have been really tired. This is the situation. I decided to take a nap. I had to take a nap, too, and I went right back to sleep.

　And then I'll sort out this situation again by myself.

　First of all, I need to know where Alice is. I'm pretty sure she's in this underground space. That's because I have the sense that those voices are getting closer. The spacing between the voices is getting closer, too.

　It was the same with that blue light. When I get close to that light, I can hear Alice's voice.

　No, if you think about it.......could that light be Alice herself.......?

　And at such a moment, that light suddenly begins to shine like a blink of an eye.

''The light........''

　That blinding light gains more momentum. I panic and shake Fee's body.

"Fee, hey. 'Fee.'
Hmm... is it that time already...?　Not fast.
Look at that.
'What...?　There's something really shiny about it.
Let's go.
What?　Elle!

　I was running towards that light as if spurred on by something.
