I like crossing the most

Chapter 543 Louis XVI Happy Platform

After learning about the development of instant noodles, Aqua asked Sato Kazuma to take her with them. She said that she could be a taster to control the taste. Sato Kazuma thought about it and agreed.

Huihui and Youyou also became food tasters, and Darkness helped them prepare the ingredients and venue.

Today happens to be Liu Zi's monthly maintenance day. Xiaolin sent her back to Axel last night and will pick her up tomorrow.

...Huh? Am I alone?
No, no, no, they just have something to do, they are definitely not abandoned! Yes, that's right!

"Don't you want to accompany Alice?"

"How could that be? I wish I could stay with Alice every day."

Xiaolin rubbed Alice's cheek.

Today is a day off, and he is accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess as they stroll around the palace. Even though Alice is already tired of seeing the scenery, her face is filled with a happy smile.

When I came to the corridor, a rich fragrance came.

Alice sniffed it and exclaimed quietly, "Mmm...what a delicious aroma!"

"It seems to be coming from this room."

Xiaolin pointed to a room not far ahead, which, if he remembered correctly, should be the kitchen.

"Alice, do you want to go take a look?"

"No, no, it's so rude to peek into other people's rooms... But, this smell is so good... I can't help it!"

Eventually, Her Royal Highness succumbed to the scent.

"Shh-"

With their index fingers pressed to their lips, they whispered to each other and tiptoed towards the kitchen. They poked their heads in, one above and one below, and found a familiar figure in front of the stove.

"Huh...Raine?"

“Ah! E, Alice?! Why are you coming to a place like this?!”

The sudden words frightened the people in the kitchen, and when she saw who was coming, her expression became even more flustered - but Xiaolin thought that it was largely because she was holding a plate in her hand.

Alice thought she had scared the others and apologized quietly, "I'm sorry, because I smelled something delicious... Um, what are you eating now? It looks like a dish I haven't seen before."

"Ah! This, this is really embarrassing for you! Ahhhh, it's so embarrassing." Lei Yin was very ashamed.

Xiaolin suspected that if she hadn't had to hold the plate with both hands, she would have covered her red cheeks. What on earth was she eating? Was there any need to be so shy?

Alice sniffed the air. "Come to think of it, this smell really stimulates appetite... Really... It makes me want to eat it..."

stare----

As she said this, she stared at the food on her plate. Xiaolin also looked over there.

Is that... pizza?

Lei Yin asked uncertainly: "Um... Princess Alice? You don't want to taste it... do you?"

"Yes! Very much! Can I try it?"

"No, no! You can't let Her Highness Alice eat this!"

She hid the plate behind her in a panic.

Alice pleaded pitifully, "Don't say that. Just eat one piece, please."

"No."

"please."

"No."

"Um...Rain, you have bad intentions."

“Even if you put on that expression, I can’t do this! If Lady Claire knew that I let Her Highness Alice eat the food of commoners… I would be scolded to death.”

No matter how adorable the princess's expression was, Lei Yin refused to let go, because she was frightened by the female knight's power.

Then, the female magician sent a signal to Xiaolin for help, but Xiaolin turned his head and whistled, pretending not to see it, which made her so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Then--

Alice suddenly greeted the kitchen door, "Hey, isn't this Kureya? We just happened to be talking about you."

“Eh?! Lady Claire?! You misunderstood. This is just—”

The female magician turned around in panic and wanted to explain, but if she did that, the plate she hid behind her would have no protection at all, and Alice would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity.

"I'm going to start... Bite!"

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

She quickly snatched a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, causing Lei Yin to exclaim in surprise.

"Hmm... It's delicious! The tomato sauce and cheese are mixed together in a strong way! The crust is also very chewy... This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food in my life!"

“Lady Kureya isn’t here at all! Your Highness Alice, you lied to me, didn’t you?!”

Lei Yin was furious.

Alice laughed: "I'm sorry...but can I have another slice?"

"Didn't Princess Alice say that only one piece is enough? I really can't let you eat any more this time!" Lei Yin refused to allow it.

Then--

Alice looked at the door again and said in surprise, "Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't it Kureya? Rain and I were thinking of ordering pizza!"

“Ah, Lady Kureya, I’m so sorry! Even though I was by your side, something like this could still happen—”

"……bite."

I just saw this scene!

The female magician widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "Lord, Your Highness Alice?! You actually used the same method to deceive me again?!"

“Chew chew… Mmmmm, it’s so delicious!”

The clever princess used her brilliant mind to trick her guard, the magician.

Lei Yin looked at Alice who was eating with gusto with tears in her eyes, and sighed helplessly: "Ah... Only for today, otherwise I will really be scolded in the end."

Just look at what happened to Sato Kazuma yesterday. Just because he let Her Royal Highness the Princess eat a bowl of cat food, he was punished to kneel down for the whole night and shouted, "I was wrong."

Lei Yin looked at Xiao Lin, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. Was he suspecting that he had led the princess astray?
Wait, this is slander!
He dared to swear to Aqua that he definitely did not teach Alice anything bad. Rather, it was Alice who used Kobayashi to attract hatred.

...Of course, he doesn't mind.

Xiao Lin closed his eyes and pretended to be silent like the doorpost in the kitchen. Lei Yin rolled his eyes at him but said nothing.

What else can I do?
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

"Ah, Your Highness Alice..."

"What's wrong?"

"Please don't move. There's sauce on the corner of your mouth."

The female magician took out a handkerchief from her pocket and considerately wiped the sauce from the corner of the princess' mouth.

At this moment, they didn't seem to have a master-servant relationship with clear hierarchy, but more like close sisters. No, maybe in Lei Yin's heart, he already regarded Alice as his own sister, so he doted on her so much.

"…Okay, I've wiped it off."

"Thank you, Rain. And the pizza... is delicious!"

"That's not the case. You're too kind."

Rayne waved his hand.

Pizza is a common dish that can be made by ordinary people with hands, and it does not require any difficult operations. It basically won't be too bad if made according to the steps, so there is nothing worthy of praise from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Alice's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Can I also eat pizza in the palace if I just ask the chef?"

"Hmm... I think it can be done, but I think pizza made by a professional chef will be more delicious."

"Don't say that. You have to help me when I go to persuade Kureya."

Alice then left the kitchen with Kobayashi. She thought she would be satisfied, but her mind was completely occupied by the delicious pizza. And Alice knew very well that even if she asked Rain to help, Kureya would not agree, so she set her target on Kobayashi again.

"Brother, can you accompany me to the capital?"

The girl crossed her hands and clasped her fingers together on her chest, her little face raised with pleading expression, her watery blue eyes seemed to be able to speak.

“——Please!”

How adorable, it's impossible to resist!

Xiao Lin felt as if an arrow had hit his heart, and then he waved his hand: "Okay! Let's go! No matter if they are the officers of the Demon King's Army or the Demon Lords, if they dare to stand in our way, we will kill them all! We have the pizza for today, and the goddess can't stop us, I say!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Alice was beaming with joy. But without Kobayashi noticing, the blond royal beauty showed a devilish smile.

This is definitely a date!
As expected, what Miss Liuzi said was right. My brother couldn't refuse this method.

----

Arrived in the royal capital.

Kobayashi followed behind Alice, and actually he also wanted to train Alice.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess does not need to live the life of a commoner, she must know how commoners live. Only by understanding, feeling, integrating, and sympathizing with commoners can she become a qualified royal family member in the future. Therefore, unless something unexpected happens during this trip, Kobayashi will not interfere with her actions.

Walking on the busy street.

Alice sniffed the air and said, "The smell of pizza is getting stronger and stronger. It looks like it should be nearby! Brother, hurry up and catch up!"

There was a constant stream of pedestrians and the sounds of hawkers could be heard everywhere.

At this time-

"Come on, come on! How about some pizza, the capital's specialty?"

"Looking for it, found it!"

The pizza shop owner's shouting voice reached her ears, and a clear smile appeared on Alice's face.

Arrived in front of the store.

The pizza shop owner was very enthusiastic when he saw Alice, and greeted her loudly: "Little girl, you came at the right time, the pizza is just out of the oven!"

"Wow, freshly-baked pizza... I'm so lucky! I have to thank God!"

“Hahaha! You’re exaggerating… Eh?! Love love love, Alice?!”

After seeing the customer clearly, the pizza shop owner was obviously panicked. But Alice was very calm and said with a smile: "Haha, although people often say that I look like her, I am not Alice."

She evaded the question tactfully.

"That's true. The real Princess Alice would never appear in a place like this."

The pizza shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously said something that made Alice sad, but she quickly cheered up.

"Please give me a pizza instead of that."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage! The amount is 300W Eris!"

"I see. Freshly baked ones are more expensive than usual. Please wait a moment..."

Alice rummaged through her purse.

Seeing the blonde girl being so serious, the pizza shop owner laughed: "Are you willing to cooperate with my joke? You are really an interesting girl--"

Before he could finish, he saw Alice handing him a stack of coins, at least millions!
Alice said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I only have 200 million Eris. Can you please sell me what I can afford?"

"Huh?! Why do you have so much money... I, I can't afford it!"

The pizza shop owner's face changed drastically.

Alice said in distress: "That's true. After all, I still need 100 million Eris, but this is all the money I have now..."

"No, I was just joking—"

Then he saw Alice handing him a bracelet.

"Well, can I use this to pay for the insufficient money? This bracelet is not brand new, but it is made of diamonds, so I think it should be enough to cover the money."

"Eh, eh, eh?! Diamond, diamond bracelet? Little girl, who the hell are you…"

"Is it really not possible? I heard that pizza was cheap and I was careless. I should have brought more money with me."

“W-Way to say that! Rather, I welcome you very much… Strange? Could it be that you are really Her Highness Alice—”

The pizza shop owner looked at Xiaolin.

You see, if you don't understand the common people, this is what will happen.

Xiao Lin doesn't think Alice will be pushed onto the Louis XVI stage - there will never be such a future with him around! But at least, Alice can't be like the beheaded queen and say something as stupid as "If there is no bread, why not eat cake?", which would be disheartening.

So it doesn't matter if I get cheated by the pizza shop owner, or if I lose 200 million Eris and the diamond bracelet. As long as I can make Alice understand the truth, it's meaningful.

but--

“Finally found it!!!”

A slightly annoyed voice came from behind.

Two palace guards came up behind them, and the woman dressed as a magician took out a 1 coin and said, "Boss, we will pay for it. Give us three boxes... No need for change."

“Rain, Raine! And Kureya… why did you come here?!”

Alice was obviously a little panicked when she saw the two of them. She hid behind Kobayashi, obviously intending to use Kobayashi as a shield again.

Lei Yin frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Why are you asking... Of course we are here to look for Her Highness Alice. Why did you sneak out of the palace?"

"Mr. Xiaolin, can you explain this to me?"

Kureya placed the sword on Kobayashi's neck.

The female knight who has improper thoughts about Her Royal Highness the Princess will not allow anyone to have improper thoughts about Her Royal Highness the Princess! ...Why is this sentence so awkward?

Alice stood in front of Xiaolin.

"Wait a minute, Kureya! It's me! Because I want to...eat pizza..."

"Pizza? So that's what happened. Ah, it's all my fault... Listen, Your Highness Alice, next time you want to eat it, please tell me directly. I'll go to the city and buy it for you."

"Really? I'm so happy!"

Alice was very happy to hear Rain's assurance. Maybe in her opinion, it was good enough that she, who was not allowed to eat ordinary food, could eat pizza. But Kobayashi disagreed.

"——Wait a minute, I have objections!"
