Unfolding (3)

"Hey Alice. Is everything still alright?"

Alice looked down at her silver bracelet. Jeff's concerned voice could be heard from this accessory item.

"Ummuu..." Alice whimpered as she looked around.

Many months had passed. Alice never expected to be back here again.

It's the same abandoned riverside factories. It's the same fogged up warm weather.

Yet, she was alone this time.

This time, Alice knew exactly where she ranked in terms of battle prowess. D-rank.

In other words, any B-rank could beat 100 of her combined.

Yet, by the looks of it, there were many A-ranks sent here to hunt her down.

Hearing the nearing motor sounds, Alice panted for breath. The girl's eyes started to water up.

At this moment, she looked rather helpless.

"Alice? You there?"

"Y-Yes. I-I-I..." Alice carefully moved through the empty front court. Step by step, she headed towards the factory's large overhead door.
