I don't want to be a heroic spirit

He looked like he had something on his mind.

But... everyone has worries and so on, right?

Thinking of this, Nero decided not to care anymore and pretended not to notice anything.

The castle where Alice lives is the most conspicuous and iconic building in the capital.

Because it was the first time to see such a magnificent building, Youyou opened her mouth in surprise, feeling like she could fit an egg into her small mouth.

Surprise is followed by nervousness.

"Please don't be nervous, Miss Youyou, you and Mr. Nero are both friends of His Highness Alice. Even if His Highness Alice returns to the capital, she still misses you two, so... if you are here because of your identity, If you show nervousness in front of Her Majesty Alice, it might make Her Majesty Alice feel uncomfortable.”

Claire used a gentle voice to try to cheer up Yoyo, and you could feel that she was really doing it for Alice.

Unlike Claire, she also has some thoughts towards Alice that a courtier should not have.

"Friend...friend?"

"That's right. I hope that the two of you can continue to treat Her Highness Alice as an ordinary friend rather than a superior princess like you did with Axel. This must be what Her Highness Alice wants to see."

As soon as the word friend appeared, it was like turning on a switch in Yuyou's body, immediately cheering her up.

"Yes! Alice and I are friends!"

Seeing that her comfort had an effect, Lei Yin also smiled, and then looked at Nero who had been silent.

"Hmm! Yu has always regarded Alice as a sister who needs to worry about. The so-called identity and status are of no use in Yu's eyes! Because no matter how high the status is, no matter how powerful the power is! It can't compare to Yu! Hmm!"

"Your Excellency Nero is still the same as before. I'm so glad to see that you are still as energetic as before."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Lei Yin, several people walked into the castle together.

Then, they were greeted by many maids.

Youyou's body was a little stiff, probably because she was not used to such a scene.

Chapter 309 I miss you

"Oh? Isn't this His Excellency Nero?"

"I remember that you are... Mr. Edgeworth?"

In the pure white corridor, a man wearing dark blue heavy armor walked towards him, with a large sword exuding powerful magic hanging on his waist.

Mitsurugi Kyouya, one of the most famous people who traveled from Japan, is the master of the magic sword Grammo.

When he was in the royal capital before, Nero met him and chatted with him for a while.

I heard that the other party came to Axel some time ago, but I haven't met him yet. Yu Jian Xiangye returned to the royal capital.

And when he saw Yu Jian Xiangye... Nero also felt a gaze with strong malice.

Such blatant and unconcealed malice came from Claire who was beside Kyoya the sword.

"Hmm! Long time no see, Claire."

Nero ignored Claire's hostility and responded with a very sunny smile.

"...Long time no see, Your Excellency Nero."

Claire felt like a punch she had been charging for a long time hit the cotton.

Beside Nero, Lei Yin patted her chest gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Youyou, she is very self-aware and knows that this is her first time here. In order not to embarrass herself and not to embarrass Nero, she has not said a word since entering the castle. Even she knows how to say more. Wrong truth.

See more, listen more, talk less.

Nero looked at Yujian Xiangye and smiled slightly: "Hmm! The aura is much stronger than when we met before. It seems that you have become a lot stronger during this time, which is very good! Yu Xiang has never Hate the warriors who climb the heights!”

"There is nothing we can do. With Lord Nero constantly putting pressure on us, even if we want to be lazy, we can't do it." Yu Jian Xiangye scratched his head and showed a wry smile, "Successfully defeated the cadres of the Demon King's Army, and it was still Four! When the news reached the capital, everyone in the guild was frightened."

"But...well...how should I put it? It's your words, Mr. Nero. I feel surprisingly acceptable. I don't know why."

"Hmm! Of course it's because Yu is very powerful! If you want to admire Yu and rely on Yu, Yu will welcome you!"

"Your Excellency Nero is really good at joking."

Yu Jian Xiangye waved his hand, and then his eyes became firm.

"I can't do such cowardly behavior as entrusting all the important tasks to one person while enjoying the peace brought by others with peace of mind. Just wait and see, Your Excellency Nero, we will catch up soon. It's up to you. There are still four Demon King Army cadres left, as well as the Demon King who is the biggest scourge. We won't let it go easily! Because of your influence, everyone in the guild has already started gearing up! My own pride!”

Seeing Yu Jian Xiangye's determined look in his eyes, the corners of Nero's mouth raised slightly.

"Hmm! This is how it should be!"

"Go ahead and show your bravery! I will wait and see!"

Then, driven by curiosity, Nero began to ask why Mitsurugi Kyouya appeared here.

"Recently, the Demon King's army has been attacking the royal capital more frequently. I am here this time as a representative of the Adventurer's Guild to report the battle situation to Sir Claire."

No wonder Edgeworth Hibiki is standing with Claire.

"Where is Your Excellency Nero? Could it be that he finally plans to return to the capital to support the battle? Also, this is..."

"Hmm! Is the purpose of Yu coming back this time? It's because of Alice's invitation. To reward Yu for defeating four Demon King Army cadres. By the way, Sato Kazuma and Aqua also accepted the invitation. , and then the person next to Yu..."

Nero suddenly took Yuyou's arm and pressed it tightly, while looking at Yu Jian Xiangye.

"She is Yu's trusted teammate, Yuyou, the great magician from the Red Demon Clan."

It should be a normal thing for girls to hug each other...but Yoyo didn't know why she became extra stiff.

His eyes were wide open and his face became hot.

Feeling the soft touch coming from the arm, joy keeps flowing from the bottom of my heart.

"Oh! I remembered that when I was in Axel, I invited you to join my team... It turns out that you later joined Lord Nero's team."

Yu Jian Xiangye showed an expression of sudden realization.

At this time, Lei Yin took two steps forward and said to Nero and others with some apology.

"Your Excellency Nero, Your Excellency Sword Edgeworth, I'm sorry to interrupt the reminiscing between you two... Your Highness Alice is still waiting for Your Excellency Nero's arrival, so I ask Your Excellency Nero to go with me to see Your Highness Alice first."

"Hmm... Indeed, it is not good to keep Alice waiting for too long."

Nero and Mitsurugi Kyouya looked at each other.

"Then you go quickly. I have something to do and I have to go back to the guild quickly. No one knows when the Demon King's army will attack next. I have to go back quickly to prepare."

So, Nero continued to follow Reine and walked towards Alice's location.

Claire seems to want to be with Nero and the others, but due to her responsibilities, she still has some things to explain to Mitsurugi Kyouya and his companions.

Therefore, she had no choice but to suppress her unwillingness for the time being and rush back to Alice as soon as the matter over there was resolved.

Without her own supervision, she could not trust her Highness Alice and Nero to be together.

Nero discovered that they were not going directly to Alice's room.

Come to think of it, after all, Alice was inviting the great hero who was the leader of the Demon King's Army to have dinner with her.

How could it be possible to send it directly to Her Royal Highness the Princess's boudoir?

Let’s not talk about whether others can accept it. Anyway, Nero can guess that Claire will definitely be the first to refuse.

Even though Nero has been to Alice's room many times, Claire will not allow this to happen.

"arrive."

Rein's words brought Nero back from his thoughts.

They came to the end of the corridor, and in front of them stood a door with magnificent patterns.

There are maids waiting on both sides of the door. It is their job to open the door for Nero and others who come as guests.

When Nero raised his foot and stepped forward, the next moment, a golden color as bright as the sun broke into her eyes.

"elder sister……"

That soft call was filled with longing.

Like a bird returning to the embrace of the sky, the girl wearing a white dress like white feather wings jumped into Nero's arms.

The sunlight shining into the house brought blessings to the reunion of the two.

Snow-white arms wrapped around Nero's slender waist, and Alice gently sniffed Nero's body fragrance.

Suddenly, a nostalgic sense of security filled her chest.

Only in front of this person, Alice was unwilling to hide anything, and the thoughts accumulated over time were displayed without reservation.

"I miss you."

Chapter 310 Isn’t this Elise?

Nero was shocked.

Alice is so bold.

If Claire were there, Nero could guarantee that the guy would go crazy.

After the reunion hug, Alice held Nero's hand and sat on the seat, the red cloud remaining on her face not dissipating yet.

Naturally, Nero was pulled by Alice to the seat closest to Alice.

"Where's Lei Yin? As a personal guard, she should be the one closest to Alice, right?"

When Nero looked at Lei Yin in confusion, Lei Yin replied: "This meal is prepared for Her Royal Highness Alice and the commended warriors. Claire and I cannot sit down, but should Stay with Her Majesty Alice."

"Yuyou, come here too." Alice said to Yuyou.

As Alice's teammate, the seat prepared for Yoyo is naturally the seat closest to Alice.

On the rectangular dining table, Princess Alice, who had the highest status, sat at the main seat, while Nero and Yoyo sat on the two seats closest to her.

Lei Yin did not sit down, but stood respectfully beside Alice.

"After returning to the royal capital, I have been paying attention to the news about my sister. Although I have known for a long time that with my sister's strength, I will definitely be able to defeat the cadres of the Demon King's army, but I did not expect that in such a short period of time, you will defeat me. Half of the Demon King’s army cadres! She is indeed a sister.”

"Hmm! It's Yu after all!" Nero crossed his arms on his chest, his tone full of confidence, "However, the credit this time belongs not only to Yu, but also to Yuyou and Megumi. After all, that slime Its immunity to physical attacks and its huge size would make it difficult even for Yu."

"Yes, I heard about it too. Whether it was the high priest Aqua who dealt the final blow to the poisonous slime Hans, or the great magicians Huihui and Youyou who dealt the final blow to the synthesized beast Sylvia, their achievements were irrefutable. There were also Lalatina and Sato Kazuma. I heard that they also made many contributions to those battles."

To be honest, Nero and the poisonous slime Hans were not very compatible.

With a body as big as a hill and the characteristic of being immune to all physical attacks, Nero, who did not have a large-scale attack such as a light cannon, lacked the means to destroy Hans.

In the end, just like the original work, Aqua absorbed all the beliefs of the Axis religion and blew Hans up with one punch.

The same was true for Sylvia. Even after swallowing the magician killer, Sylvia was still no match for Nero and was killed with one sword.

However, Sylvia, who was supposed to die, somehow managed to reappear in the form of swallowing the headless knight and the poisonous slime.

Not only has the ability value been greatly improved, but it has also gained a system that is immune to physical attacks from poisonous slimes, and with the shield of the magic killer that is immune to magic damage, it is basically invincible.

In the original work, Kazuma relied on the beauty trick to let Sylvia devour him, and then Kazuma himself became Sylvia's only weakness. Finally, after receiving the magic power of all the members of the Red Demon Clan, Youyou and Huihui used their strongest magic to kill Sylvia and Kazuma together.

However, if Nero was there, Kazuma would not have to die once.

Nero in the game, his treasure is not [Golden Theater that Invites to the Heart], but [Glorious Empire of the Virgin's Ode].

The effect in the game is to launch a powerful attack that ignores the defense of all enemies and reduce the enemy's defense for one round.

Using this trick, Nero broke Sylvia's magic defense shield, and finally Youyou and Huihui supplemented it with the strongest sword of light and explosion magic, and successfully defeated Sylvia, a cadre of the Demon King's Army.

When Nero talked about the battle with the Demon King's army cadres, Alice became particularly excited.

Nero, who noticed this, raised his mouth slightly.

"Hmm! Kazuma and the others haven't arrived yet, and there's still some time before the meal starts... I'll tell you about my adventures with Youyou during this time."

"Yes! I'm looking forward to it."

Rain, who was standing next to Alice, also smiled with relief when she saw this scene.

When Claire came here, she saw Nero telling a story to Alice, and Alice was listening attentively with bright eyes, nodding from time to time.

Although she frowned and felt a little unhappy, Claire still said nothing wisely and stood silently beside Alice, just like Rain.

After a while, Kazuma and the others also arrived.
