I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Host had intended to kill both Chris and Aqua before he left, and he used the advanced magic Hellfire.

However, just as his magic was about to hit Aqua, Chris and Kazuma, a heroic blonde female knight suddenly appeared, using her mortal body to withstand the advanced magic, and she seemed to be muttering something like "Come on! Come harder! Let me feel more intense pain."

Host was dumbfounded. Why did strange guys pop up one after another like bamboo shoots after rain? !

Having judged that the feng shui of this town was not good, Host slipped away.

The wind was strong! Hurry!

"I will definitely come back!"

Aqua and Chris: "You dare to come back?!"

It must be said that Host was really amazing. He was hit by Aqua's Ultimate Holy Exorcism twice, and then Chris stabbed him with several holes and cut off one of his wings with that special dagger, but he didn't die.

Although Chris is the incarnation of the goddess Eris, she does not have a single bit of the goddess' power, but Aqua is different. Although she lost most of her power after being brought down from heaven by Kazuma, she still has some power and privileges as the goddess of water.

For example, the passive ability to purify all liquids touched into pure water, and the fact that Kazuma was resurrected many times in the original work.

Because of the famous saying of Wolf Wolf released by Host, Aqua and Chris chased him directly.

Then Aqua was eaten by the giant frog again and again.

Chris and Kazuma went to rescue Aqua, but Host was gone when they rescued her.

To be honest, Nero still didn't quite understand the situation so far... How did this fight start?

Looking at Chris and Aqua who were beating their chests and regretting not killing the demon not far away, Nero quietly walked to the side of the blonde knight who had blocked Host's magic before.

"Are you okay?"

Nero said this with some concern, but she knew that the other party would be fine at all.

"It's okay, I feel better than ever... cough cough! What I mean is... it's my duty to protect everyone as a strong backing. Don't look at me like this, I actually have a very high defense."

Even though her face was abnormally flushed before, she put on an expression as cold as an iceberg after coughing.

The perverted masochistic knight, Darkness, is also a member of the protagonist group... I didn't expect to meet her so early.

She always misses people with her attacks, but her defense is exceptionally strong. After all, there are not many people in this world who can be hit by explosion magic like her and still be safe and sound.

After the demon duke Vanir took over Darkness's body, he commented that her physical strength was so high that she didn't look like a human. When the protagonist group went to the Red Demon Village, they fought against the synthetic beast Sylvia who devoured the magician killer and two demon army cadres, Hans and Beldia. Darkness, whose body was controlled by Vanir to make up for the shortcoming of not being able to hit people, fought the opponent to a 50-50 fight in melee.

After recalling the information of the person in front of him, when Nero came back to his senses and looked at the other party, he found that the other party was staring at him.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with you?"

Nero tilted his head.

Why is she staring at him like that? This should be the first time he and the other party meet, right?

Nero was puzzled because she had only been in Axel for a short time and had no chance to meet many people.

She had always been in the capital before... the capital?

"You are... Miss Nero?"

Darkness's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she accurately said Nero's name.

"Why are you here? And... where did you take Lady Alice!"

"What a pity... that demon got away." Chris walked over here dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Darkness, you must be tired to catch up with me. I heard that the demon was here, so I rushed over at full speed... So what are you two doing? Why are you so close?"

Just now, Darkness was ready to draw her sword after learning about Nero's true identity, but Nero held her sword down as soon as she pulled it out a little, and she couldn't pull it out.

Darkness looked shocked, but in fact Nero was more surprised than her.

What did this woman eat to grow up? This strength is too much! Nero almost couldn't hold him down!

It was only at the critical moment that Darkness used [Emperor's Privilege EX] to strengthen her strength, which prevented Darkness from drawing her sword.

Nero felt that the one competing with him in strength was not a human but a dragon.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, that's because Darkness's level is still low now. When she levels up in the future, her strength will really be no less than that of a giant dragon, so... Darkness should be considered a young dragon now?

"Alice is very good. She has been working with me as an adventurer to do commissions and has made friends. I will take you to find Alice later... But I hope you don't make it public and don't contact the capital for now."

In a voice that only he and the other person can hear, Nero said this in Darkness's ear.

Nero didn't react just now. Although Darkness is a perverted masochist, she is also a daughter of a noble family, and her status is not inferior to Claire. There is no reason for Darkness not to know that Alice was brought out by her.

"It's nothing, just some insignificant things between Yu and Darkness." Nero showed a gentle smile to Chris, "Compared to this... heroic beautiful girl who drove away the devil. ! I wonder if I know your name?”

"Hey, hey? Beautiful girl? Me?" Chris's cheeks turned red, "Is this...is this a joke? It must be a joke, right? How can I be called a beautiful girl...even though...even though it's a joke? , but thank you anyway..."

"You give me a little confidence."

Nero frowned slightly, stepped forward and took one of Chris's hands, looked directly into the other person's eyes and said: "Yu's evaluation must be pertinent. Every word of praise from Yu is worth a thousand dollars. It's unfair to treat someone without permission." It’s a joke and an insult to Yu! If you understand, accept Yu’s praise and be proud of it!”

"Yes...yes!"

Facing the kingly power exuded by Nero, Chris subconsciously tensed up.

"Hmm! Very energetic!"

Seemingly satisfied with Chris's reaction, Nero crossed his arms over his chest, smiled and nodded.

Chapter 275 The female knight Darkness

The plan was disrupted.

Originally, Nero wanted to do a commission to defeat monsters, but he didn't expect to run into Darkness.

Moreover, Darkness actually knew her, and she thought that if Alice was not with her, nothing would happen to her even if she met Darkness.

However, being discovered by Darkness is not necessarily a bad thing.

Nero also knew that after Alice was brought out by her, the people in the royal capital must be dying of panic.

Given Alice's importance, it is destined that she cannot be missing for too long.

If Nero really didn't want to be discovered, she wouldn't have to act as openly as she does now, and would definitely be more cautious.

"So there is absolutely no need for you to be so hostile to Yu."

Looking back at Darkness, Nero said calmly: "I just took Alice out to play, it's not like I won't go back."

"But what you did went too far." Darkness had a face as cold as ice. "You just kidnapped Her Highness Alice without saying anything. If something happens to Her Highness Alice, you know how big the consequences will be." The consequences?”

However, after Darkness said this, Nero's eyes became strange.

"Didn't you also run away without telling your family? How do you accuse Yu of being so willful?"

"I, I, I...I have a special reason for that!"

Of course Nero knew what the "special reason" Darkness mentioned.

Because Darkness hid her sexual nature so well that her suitors and even her father didn't know about it.

Naturally, the marriage partners her father arranged for her were all gentle, handsome, and rich, perfect candidates, but these were completely outside of Darkness's strike zone.

Darkness personally said that she hoped that the person she would marry would be a wretched and ugly fat pig. After getting married, he would beat her and scold her all day long. He also loved drinking and gambling. If he lost a bet, he would beat her to vent his anger. will hold the other person's thigh and plead She said, "You've already lost all the milk powder money at home, so don't go gambling anymore." But she would be ravaged even more severely by the other party, and the other party would also insult her and say, "Then use your dirty body to go outside and give it to me." Make money back" and so on.

Although she fell in love with Kazuma in the end, very much.

Because she didn't like a marriage partner that was too perfect, she ran away and became an adventurer in Axel.

Although her perverted and flirtatious image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she behaved extremely seriously in front of Nero.

Maybe it's because it involves Alice.

She didn't want to ruin her good image in Alice's mind, so she hid her true nature and acted so serious.

Darkness originally came with Chris, but now she is with Nero.

I'm afraid she won't be able to let Nero go until she sees Alice safe and sound.

"Really, Yu can't run away."

"Even if you may be doing it for Her Highness Alice, it is still a crime to take Her Highness Alice away without authorization. We cannot trust you."

"That's wrong. What I say is the law, and what I do is justice. After all, I am a tyrant! Ugh!"

Nero is taking Darkness to the hotel where she and Alice stayed during this time.

But when they arrived at their destination, Darkness's reaction was unexpectedly big.

Saying something like "How could you let Her Royal Highness live in such a shabby place?"

"As the emperor of Rome, I can live here, so what about Her Majesty the Princess? If you have any opinions, just say it, even if I won't listen."

Nero demonstrated his willful and arrogant character to the extreme.

After returning to the room, Nero sat down on the bed.

"Because Yu doesn't know when Alice and Youyou will come back, so if you don't mind, just wait with Yu."

It's not like Nero didn't suggest that Darkness should go back first and let Nero notify her when Alice comes back.

But Darkness refused, as if she would not leave Nero's side until she saw Alice.

Well, even though Nero didn't mind.

As long as Darkness doesn't expose her true nature, she is actually a top-notch beautiful girl, both in figure and appearance. Otherwise, how could she have so many young men pursuing her?

It was not too late for Nero to be happy to have such an eye-catching beautiful girl by his side.

Darkness walked around the small room, seemingly curious about the room where Alice had lived for a few days.

"Miss Nero, are you and Alice living here these days?"

"Hmm! Yes."

"It's so small, what's the difference between it and a prison?"

"Of course there is a difference. This place may not be as big as a prison."

Darkness was stunned for a moment, then Nero continued.

"But, huh! It's not like I haven't told Alice about this problem. It's really too small for two people to live in such a room..."

"You two actually live in the same room?!"

Darkness originally thought that Nero and Alice lived in a separate room, but she didn't expect that they actually lived together.

"It's not what Yu wants to do."

"Could it be that Her Highness the Princess took the initiative to invite you to live in the same room with her!"

Faced with Darkness's question, Nero nodded in affirmation.

"It's not that I don't have money. Yu originally planned to rent two rooms, but Alice said she wanted to live with Yu..." Recalling the scene at that time, Nero couldn't help but smile, "She showed such a look at that time. Such an expression, how can you refuse?"

"...Your Highness Alice, do you actually trust you that much?"

The expression on Darkness's face was a bit unpleasant.

However, her hostility and wariness towards Nero seemed to be gradually decreasing.

Nero raised his head in a good mood and said: "Isn't it normal to trust Yu? After all, Yu is so trustworthy, hmm!"

"You are too arrogant..." Darkness looked at Nero's face for a while before she came up with a suitable adjective. "You are too arrogant, aren't you?"

"Excessive contempt for others and overestimation of oneself is called arrogance, but I don't do that. All the evaluations I make are correct and pertinent. Whether it is evaluation of others or evaluation of myself, I will not do that. Such a mistake."

Darkness glanced out the window. The sunlight was very bright at this time, and it was almost the time when the sun rose the highest in the day.

"Hmm! Do you want to have lunch?" Nero looked at Darkness and said, "This hotel also provides food. Although it seems to me that the taste is worse than that at the guild, the food here is cheaper. , and it’s very convenient.”

"I don't need... no, I'd better eat a little."

Darkness originally wanted to refuse, but she thought of something and agreed to Nero's proposal.

"After eating...how should I say..." Darkness scratched her cheek and asked, "Can I listen...how did you get along with Her Highness Alice during this time?"

Nero's bright emerald eyes blinked, and a smile gradually appeared in them.

"Hmm! Okay."

Holding hands, walking together in the light and shadow of dusk.

Laughter as clear as silver bells always echoes.
