Chapter 545: Dragon Riding on the Face (Physical), Alice's First Adventure

Perhaps because of Kobayashi's enlightenment, Kureiya did not interfere too much with Alice as she did in the past, and she also considered other aspects more.

Then, he became more respectful of Kobayashi, who pointed out Alice's shortcomings in education, and even came to discuss Alice's education.

"...You said you wanted to conduct a new type of education?"

"That's right. Her Highness Alice has a wealth of knowledge, but as Lord Kobayashi said yesterday, she can't use it properly. I also think that Her Highness Alice needs more growth and can't always be well protected, so I'm thinking about whether I should let her do something else meaningful."

"for example?"

"Social practice or something like that."

I see. I feel that I cannot just be a vase all the time. I need to grow.

Moving on to the next stage of education?

However, Xiao Lin is not very good at these things. After all, he is not a prince or a noble, and he does not understand some regulations or taboos. Any rash proposals will only make people unhappy.

"What did Alice say?"

"Well, Her Highness Alice..."

"Yes! I want to be a pizza shop employee! I would be very happy if I could taste delicious pizza every day!"

Alice's eyes sparkled.

The little girl enjoyed her pizza yesterday and has a great impression of the pizza restaurant.

Recalling that Xiaolin in his previous life was the same, because he liked milk tea, he went to work as a waiter in a milk tea shop, but when he actually started working, he realized that this job was not as easy as he imagined. It is better to say that any job is not as easy as imagined.

It is not impossible to make Her Royal Highness understand this truth. But——

"No! How can Your Highness be a waitress? The dignity of the royal family, the dignity of the royal family must..."

As expected, Kureya disagreed.

Even if she gave in, she still had the duties of a female knight. As a member of the royal family, it was indeed not suitable for her to be a waitress because she was too conspicuous. In addition, Alice was not a princess who had never shown up. Many people knew her as she had reorganized the kingdom on behalf of the king. The pizza shop owner yesterday was the best proof of this.

"Besides, I won't allow you to smile at those people, Princess Alice! Even I have never done that before!"

"Is that the problem?!"

Xiaolin was completely speechless at her train of thought.

But Alice is really not suitable for ordinary jobs. She cannot work too hard, cannot be in the spotlight, and still needs to learn useful knowledge and grow... After all, isn't there only one job?
"——Come and become an adventurer!"

"Adventurer?"

"That's right. Isn't Alice looking forward to becoming an adventurer? You really want to live an adventurer's life, and you're also very interested in the heroic deeds of famous adventurers. Instead of listening to other people's adventure stories, why not create one yourself? That way, it will be more exciting."

"I want it! I want to be an adventurer! No, please let me be an adventurer!"

Her Royal Highness's eyes sparkled.

Hero's Tale.

This is an essential element in almost every fantasy world. Almost every adventurer will be obsessed with it and hope that one day he or she can become the protagonist of the story, and the same is true for Alice.

Kureya was a little hesitant. Being an adventurer is not an easy job, especially in this dangerous world. People can die if they are not careful.

“Kureya, please…”

Alice's exclusive skill uses a 45° elevation angle to kill.

The female knight fell on the spot.

“Hmm! You actually begged me with such a cute expression… Ha-ha-alright, I got it! I’ll arrange it right away! Let’s go on a date with Princess Alice… No, let’s go on an adventure!”

"No, no, no, forget it."

Xiao Lin waved his hand and said, "Isn't your goal to get Alice out of her comfort zone and help her grow? If you follow along, what's the difference from usual? It's not like we're going on an outing."

"Varied--"

Kureya was speechless.

Xiao Lin patted his chest and said, "At this time, it is me, the veteran driver - the well-known adventurer Xiao Lin, who will lead Alice! No, don't worry, with me here, even the Demon King's army cadres can be easily wiped out!"

Relying on his past glorious achievements, he successfully convinced the conservative female knight.

So the next day, the Adventurer's Guild.

"Alice is joining us on this adventure today."

Xiaolin made this declaration to his companions, and Alice bowed her head obediently and introduced herself: "Everyone, I am the new adventurer Alice, please give me your guidance."

"……Aha?"

"What's going on, Senior Kobayashi?"

"What on earth were you thinking, Xiaolin, of letting the princess take on such a dangerous job as an adventurer? Are you an idiot? Explain it to me!"

Darkness pinched Xiaolin's neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"La, La Latina, please let go. I am the one who wants to be an adventurer."

"Your Highness Alice..."

Hearing the princess say this, Darkness unconsciously loosened her hand, and Kobayashi coughed for a long time before he came to his senses.

This super-strong woman always pretended to be weak in bed. Was she lying to me? Besides, I am level 8 now, but I can't break free.

However, when I thought about the fact that the perverted female knight could resist explosion magic with her body, and that Enhui was already at level 4, I felt relieved.

"Xiaolin, what's going on?"

"actually--"

Under the questioning of the team members, Kobayashi told them the reason.

After hearing this, Hui Hui sighed: "The education of the royal family is really troublesome. Is the princess fragile? Why are you so careful?"

“This is more like strict, Megumin!”

Youyou corrected the little loli's choice of words.

The others also expressed their understanding after hearing the reasons, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that only the adventurer profession was the most suitable for Her Royal Highness the Princess at the moment.

"… I have no choice but to help Her Highness Alice gain experience today."

"Really? Thank you, Lalatina!"

“Lord Alice, please don’t call me by that name! Please call me Darkness!”

"why?"

Darkness seemed very anxious, and before she could explain, the other members of the team started teasing her.

"What does it matter, Lalatina?"

"What a cute name, Lalatina."

"Yes, it's lovely, Lalatina."

"Um, well, come on, Lalatina."

“So… don’t call me by that name…”

The female knight covered her face with her hands in shame and anger. The naive princess couldn't understand why she was so shy just by being called by her name.

Compared to that——

"Going on a mission is so exciting. Do I look like an adventurer?"

Alice tugged at her clothes.

Adventurers' work is usually very hard, so they can't wear clothes like dresses anymore, so Xiaolin matched her with ordinary adventurer's equipment. But even so, it can't hide the cuteness of the naturally beautiful princess.

"Wait a minute, Alice."

Sato Kazuma said: "We are not going on a hike, don't take the mission too lightly. I will be very strict today!"

"Yes! I understand, Brother!"

"Listen carefully, the so-called mission means going on a life-or-death battle. If you make a wrong choice by mistake, death will be waiting for you! Anyone can bravely go to the battlefield, but those who can return safely——"

His sudden serious look and the big truths he was saying made others feel uncomfortable and even a little disgusted.

The others knew that he was just acting like a senior and trying to look cool. In the past, the low-level Sato Kazuma was treated as a novice by other adventurers, but now that he had Alice as his junior, he quickly started to act like a big shot.

"That idiot..."

"I clearly told him not to be disrespectful."

"But Alice seems happy, so let it go."

Under Kobayashi's persuasion, the team decided not to hurt Sato Kazuma's self-esteem.

"By the way," Aqua asked, "Xiaolin, what is today's mission? I want Alice to gain experience. Is there any good mission?"

"Hehehe! Don't worry! For today's mission, I picked a mission that is very suitable for Alice!"

"What is it?"

"——Defeat the flying dragon!"

Then, Xiaolin's fate was once again strangled by Darkness.

“You, you… you actually let Alice-sama go on such a dangerous mission… you…!”

"Wait! Darkness, what are you afraid of?"

Hui Hui threw her cape and said with red eyes: "Subjugating the flying dragon, isn't this a good mission?! With the most powerful magician of my Crimson Demon Clan, Feng Chu, here, what is there to be afraid of?!"

"Me, me too! I can help, too!"

Youyou followed closely behind.

“Darkness-sama. Lady Megumin and Lady Aqua may not be of any use, and may even cause trouble but they will be more trouble than help. But with me here, a mere flying dragon will not be taken seriously. And with your body, which is as hard as adamantium, Lady Darkness, Iris will not be harmed.”

"Liu Zi..."

Leaving aside Aqua and Megumin, the sharp-tongued maid gave Darkness a strong sense of security, and this sense of security was proportional to her strength... and also proportional to the degree of her sharp tongue.

"Subjugating the flying dragon..."

After hearing this, Sato Kazuma said seriously, "They are a kind of dragon. They are dragons! They are not opponents that can be easily defeated."

"Although I've only heard of it... it's a dangerous monster that has claimed the lives of many adventurers, right?"

"That's right. Not only adventurers, they also attack merchants' carriages. Once a carriage is attacked, the consequences will be more than just casualties."

"We must defeat them for the sake of the people!"

Alice was motivated by Sato Kazuma, but she was also a little scared: "By the way, flying dragons... I haven't seen one with my own eyes, but I think they must be very powerful. I'll be on my guard!"

"Oh! Such a small body is full of fighting spirit."

Huihui recognized Alice.

But when everyone was getting excited, Aqua said fearfully, "I say, do you really want to go? Flying dragons are pretty strong!"

"No problem. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will protect Her Highness Alice!"

Darkness suddenly declared with red cheeks.

Kobayashi, who understood the perverted female knight's inner thoughts, immediately exposed her and said, "You just want to take a hit and see. Really, don't get too excited just because it's a difficult task."

"I'm returning this sentence to you exactly as it is. Xiaolin, you seem to be more excited than usual with Alice behind you."

“What are you talking about, Megumin? I’m just excited because I haven’t done a mission with everyone for a long time! Ok, ok… It’s getting late, let’s get going!”

After saying that, Xiaolin took Alice's hand and walked away. Huihui and the others looked at their backs and sighed helplessly.

Walk out of the royal city.

Sato Kazuma acted like a senior and threatened Alice, “When I was fighting against the Demon King’s army leaders… I felt the danger of death many times.”

"The danger of death..."

"That's what it means to have a narrow escape from death. I've experienced this many times."

"That's awesome, Brother!"

Alice's praise made Scumbag Kazuma shake his hair in pride. He didn't just escape death, he actually died several times.

At this time, there was a strong wind.

“Waaaaaaa——”

"What's going on with this strong wind?!"

Aqua screamed at the top of her lungs, Darkness protected her behind her, while Megumin and Yunyun supported each other and looked up at the sky.

"——It's a flying dragon!"

"And it's not just an ordinary flying dragon, it's a high-level species!"

"High-level species... wait a minute! It's too big! This is too bad! Let's run away for now—"

Sato Kazuma, who reacted quickly, exclaimed.

But at this moment, a strong light violently broke into everyone's sight.

"——Exterion!"

Alice let out a cry, and when she swung her sword, the flying dragon in front of her was split into two with a strong light.

“…Huh???”

Sato Kazuma couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

That long sword, why does it look so familiar? !
Alice smiled and said to him as if she had done something insignificant, "Someone is getting in the way. Come on, let's move on. Please continue to tell me your story before we meet the flying dragon."

"Ah... that's right! Don't let your guard down until you meet a flying dragon, okay?! Before you meet a flying dragon!"

Sato Kazuma's voice became shrill.

Several members of the team sighed helplessly.

“I’m really impressed by Mr. Kazuma. He was planning to run away just now. Because Alice defeated Feilong so easily… until now, he can’t open his mouth to let her know that it was Feilong.”

"Alright, alright. I am lucky to have survived the fight with the flying dragon."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is not a safe escape, this is a complete kill, okay? As expected, Alice's quality is top-notch! A mere flying dragon is no problem!"

“That’s true. Really, where did that idiot Kazuma’s previous attitude go?”

"People who are watching the show over there, please stop making noise!!"

Sato Kazuma shouted angrily.

Alice was very confused and asked, "Brother, what happened? Are there any enemies?"

"No, nothing! Nothing at all. Nothing at all."

“Is that so? That’s great… By the way, how strong is the flying dragon? It must be a powerful monster to make my brother, who has defeated many Demon King’s army leaders, so nervous! It can’t be as strong as the Demon King—”

“No, no! Flying dragons are not that strong! Haha, hahaha…”

Looking at the innocent Alice, Sato Kazuma had a bitter face and could not say anything. In the end, he ended today's mixed adventure by saying that he was lucky not to encounter a flying dragon.
