I like crossing the most

Chapter 527: Brother Love

Late at night, Kobayashi did not return to Axel because on the way there an alarm came from the royal city that the Demon King's army had invaded the royal city. In order to prevent monsters from entering the town, he and the female knight Kureya went together to resist the invasion of the Demon King's army.

I have to sigh again that this world is really abnormal.

This is the capital of the kingdom. Even a place like this is attacked at night. How tense is the situation? What on earth are those senior travelers doing?

They were sent here to defeat the devil, right? Why do we keep hearing about them bringing disaster to the world? Can they be of some use?

In less than an hour, Xiaolin came back with Kureya.

"I didn't expect that you could defeat the Demon King's army so easily. As expected of you, Mr. Kobayashi, your strength is truly astonishing!"

"Your Excellency Kureya is not far behind. Are you the strongest one in the Knights?"

"You are exaggerating. I am just an ordinary guard. You are so powerful."

"Where."

The female knight who originally disliked Xiaolin started to flatter him after returning. It is said that strength is the only criterion for testing truth. The strength that Xiaolin showed when facing the Demon King's army has completely convinced her.

Besides, there is a reason why the female knight is so arrogant.

It's because she is the eldest daughter of the Sinfonia family, a noble family that is as famous as the Darkness family. Her strength is much stronger than that of ordinary adventurers. In addition, she is also the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so it is understandable that she would look down on Sato Kazuma and others.

After returning to the room, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not rest.

She stood in front of the window worriedly, her petite figure looking extremely lonely. When she saw the two of them returning safely, she smiled with relief again.

What’s going on? This little girl is so cute!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi. You have to face the Demon King's army even though your wounds haven't healed yet. I'll ask Rain to take you back to Axel at daybreak... Could you please say sorry to Lalatina and Aqua-san on my behalf and apologize to them? Although this is not the front line of the battle with the Demon King's army, there are still occasional attacks like this here, so it can't be said to be a place without danger."

Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to feel guilty for dragging Kobayashi into the battle, and also felt bad for being unreasonable because of her own willfulness.

Don't show that weak expression like a little animal!

please!
Xiaolin discovered that he seemed to have a weakness - he couldn't resist cute things!

"Don't worry. I'm very strong."

Xiao Lin couldn't help but put his hand on Princess Alice's head: "Since I promised to stay, then I will definitely stay. I am a man who keeps his word."

Her Royal Highness the Princess was deeply moved.

But the female knight Kureya couldn't stand it.

"Mr. Kobayashi... I understand your desire to accompany Her Highness Alice, but touching a royal family member is an act of usurpation. I can pretend I didn't see it this time, but please be more careful in the future."

She said it very tactfully and politely. If it were Sato Kazuma, he might have drawn his sword and attacked the person.

"Sorry, I'm a little used to it."

Xiaolin raised his hand. When he was in "Bone King", he often did this to his childhood sweetheart and fiancée. Coincidentally, both of them had blonde hair, so he unconsciously did the same thing.

"No, it's okay..."

Princess Alice blushed and lowered her head, whispering, "I always feel that you are just like my old brother. I have a biological brother, but as royals, even if we are siblings, we will become very unfamiliar after a period of time. I can no longer chat with my biological brother like this. In fact, I also hope that you can stay for a while, but it is not good to continue to be willful..."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how willful you are, I will satisfy you."

"Really?!"

"Of course. But the prerequisite is that you call me brother."

"Yes, brother!"

Princess Alice threw herself into Kobayashi's arms, with a hint of brilliance in the corners of her eyes. Kobayashi patted her back gently and signaled to the female knight with his eyes that he had not done anything strange.

Kureya curled her lips as she watched all this.

Is this his biological brother or his lover's brother?

Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess has developed some feelings for Kobayashi because of her admiration for him?

That won't work!

She respects Xiao Lin very much, but if he becomes her love rival, that’s another matter!

But no matter what, Xiaolin has settled down in the palace.

The next day.

Xiaolin arrived at the Kingdom's courtyard early in the morning. It must be said that the area alone was larger than Axel's mansion, and there were also flowers, plants and trees carefully trimmed by the servants, which was refreshing to look at.

Kobayashi is exercising here.

The impact of returning from the world of "Bone King" has not yet subsided. Only now does he truly feel how powerful his body is and has a clearer understanding of his own strength.

It's like floating weightlessly in mid-air and not feeling gravity until you hit the ground.

Krillin, with his upper body naked, began to perform the physical techniques he learned from the Bone King world.

At this time, a female knight appeared behind him.

"The housekeeper said you were missing. I thought you had gone somewhere, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xiaolin was exercising."

"Good morning, Miss Kureya."

Kobayashi greeted her but did not stop what he was doing, and the female knight was considerate enough not to disturb him.

As Kobayashi's stylish body continued to stretch, the female knight's eyes sparkled.

Amazing!
Only a warrior could understand how much powerful strength Kobayashi's body contained. Whether it was flexibility or stretchability, it was better than those outstanding ones she had seen!

"call--"

Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stopped his movements.

Kureya then stepped forward and praised, "What a beautiful move! Lord Kobayashi, I have a question that I hope you can tell me honestly - when you duelled with me, did you show your true skills?"

"...No, at that time, I couldn't control my power well, so I only used about one-fifth of it."

"One fifth?!"

The female knight cried out in shock, but she didn't look too shocked, as if she had expected it.

"Excuse me, but may I see your adventurer card? Of course, if you have something to hide, then it's not necessary."

She spoke very carefully, fearing that Kobayashi would be like Sato Kazuma and offend each other and get angry.

Xiaolin handed over the adventurer card.

"It's okay. Please."

"……Thanks!"

Kureya was delighted, but when she saw Xiaolin's adventurer card, her eyes widened.

"…You must be kidding, right?"

What did she see?
The basic values ​​of strength, magic power, vitality, etc. that were different from ordinary people, and the skill column was so densely packed with magic that it was impossible to count them. Needless to say, there were advanced magic, even explosion magic! There were also many magics that she had never heard of! When she saw the profession column, she couldn't help but open her mouth and screamed.

"——Mr. Xiaolin, are you the Great Mage?!"

This is what shocked Kureya the most.

Late last night, when the two of them were driving away the Demon King's army together, she saw Kobayashi using a very special method to eliminate many of the Demon King's army. After asking, she found out that silk thread was used.

This made Kureya very curious, so she said she wanted to see the adventurer card. In addition, after stretching, she thought Xiaolin was a warrior, but she didn't expect him to be a great magician.

Which great magician plays melee combat? !
But she couldn't say anything else, and could only say dryly: "No, as expected of Mr. Kobayashi who has defeated many Demon King's army cadres in succession, you really have a lot of personality, hehe, hehe."

And when the female knight was in dementia, Princess Alice also appeared.

"Morning, good morning..."

However, she did not come directly to the courtyard, but hid behind the corner of the palace wall, looking coy all the time. But her gaze was unexpectedly bold, and even though her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes kept wandering on Xiaolin's stylish upper body.

"Good morning, Alice."

She didn't use a formal tone like "Your Highness" or "Princess" to speak, but spoke as intimately as family and friends. This made the sense of alienation between the two of them dissipate a lot, and the shy expression of Her Highness the Princess also disappeared.

"…Good morning, brother."

The shy expression of the little girl is really exquisite.

Princess Alice said worriedly, "I went to greet my brother this morning, but I couldn't see him when I got to his room. I thought he had left."

How afraid are you that you'll leave?

"How could that be? I really hope to spend more time with Alice, so how could I leave without saying goodbye?" Xiaolin smiled at her and put on his clothes. He wanted to take a bath right now, but the princess probably didn't have the chance to do so now.

After breakfast, the four of them took a walk in the castle.

Kobayashi's current identity is a guest invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but if he stays here all the time, people will gossip about him, so he wants to find something to do.

For example, Her Royal Highness the Princess’s tutor.

Originally, education was handled by Kureya and Rain, and Kobayashi's job was to play with the princess. However, after seeing Kobayashi's strength, Kureya strongly requested Kobayashi to teach Princess Alice some combat experience. Of course, it would be even better if he could teach her.

Of course, more of the time I spent playing with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

When playing the game, Xiaolin believes that he will not lose. After all, he can read minds and will definitely be able to easily control his opponent. How can he lose when a flying dragon hits his face? !

Then Kobayashi lost miserably.

Ten defeats in a row, ten in a row, no hope of winning at all!
At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, being able to read minds does not mean that one's own intelligence will increase. Even if he avoided the various traps set by Princess Alice, he was too evasive and was eventually caught.

Fortunately, her chess opponent was not Huihui, that hot-tempered little loli who would really flip the table when she lost.

And just like that, a pleasant day passed.

On the third day, Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be going to class, so Kobayashi did not disturb her but did experiments in the courtyard.

Kureya was accompanying him.

Seeing Xiaolin constantly carving a magic circle and mumbling something, the female knight asked curiously, "Sir Xiaolin, what are you doing?"

"Just look and you'll know. I'm creating magic."

No, no, no, I don’t understand this kind of thing!
"That's very strange, Mr. Kobayashi. I remember that there is a special skill tree for magicians. You can learn the corresponding magic just by using skill points, right? Why do you have to go through all the trouble to do this?"

"Because there's a stupid little girl in my team who only knows Explosion Magic. That girl insisted on adding skill points to Explosion Magic, so I wanted to try to see if I could learn magic without using skill points."

...and it's magic from another world.

Just failed.

I don’t know if it’s because of the rules or my memory, but no matter how hard Kobayashi tries he just can’t succeed. It’s really frustrating.

But he thought of another way.

That is the magic item.

In the final analysis, magic is magic, and it is universal in every world. So the problem is nothing more than the spell or magic system. But since the magic of "Suqing" can be used successfully in "Bone King", it means that there is no problem with the system.

Then, just abandon the spell!

The method is also very simple. It is not that the spells are not used, but that the spells are engraved on magic items and the magic items are used as a medium to release the magic of the other world.

...Not good! It seems like there is something going on!

"Ms. Kureya, could you please bring some jewelry?"

"jewelry?"

"Yes, jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets. You don't need too many, and you don't need gemstones on them. And it would be even better if there were mithril or something like that."

The request was a bit absurd, but the female knight did not refuse and nodded after thinking for a moment.

"...Okay, I'll get ready."

"Please. By the way, please ask Miss Kureya to pay for it first. I will return it to you when I return to Axel."

"No need. Mr. Kobayashi, if you help the Knights defeat the Demon King's army, you will receive a generous reward. I will use that to exchange for jewelry."

Under Kobayashi's expectant gaze, the female knight walked out of the royal city, probably to prepare her jewelry.

And Xiaolin looked at the time.

"almost."

He walked towards the room where Her Royal Highness the Princess was studying.

Knock knock on the door——

"Excuse me. Time is up. Take a break for a while."

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

Lei Yin was stunned for a moment, but still agreed.

After a day of observation, Kobayashi discovered that the royal family's education method had major flaws. For example, there was only one class a day, and the class would not stop until the evening.

How can this work!

Long classes are a torture for both teachers and students. Even if the teacher's teaching quality is always online, the students' attention will gradually decline.

Therefore, each class should not exceed 2 hours, and there should be 15 minutes of time to relax the brain during the class.

The course type cannot be changed for the time being, but rest time can now be arranged reasonably.

Although it was a break, Princess Alice did not go out to play, nor did she ask to play chess with Xiaolin. However, Xiaolin prepared other things.

"housekeeper."

"Yes."

After clapping his hands, the butler outside the door pushed a tea cart in and made a cup of tea for each of the three people present. Princess Alice exclaimed with her nose twitching.

"It smells so good——"

"This is milk tea, it has a rich flavor."

While introducing it, Kobayashi gestured to Her Royal Highness the Princess to taste it, and the little girl's eyes lit up after tasting it.

“So sweet and delicious!”

"When the brain is tired, replenishing sugar can make the brain active again. And milk tea can also have other flavors, such as adding some bananas, strawberries, apple juice, etc. It is very useful for the subsequent teaching."

Xiaolin said to the female magician Rain.

"Indeed. Princess, Mr. Kobayashi is right. Let's always have milk tea in the classroom from now on."

No matter who they are, as long as they are women, they cannot refuse milk tea. After tasting it, the female mage Lei Yin decided to increase the number of breaks so that she could taste more flavors of milk tea.
