I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Although the door was not pushed open, Nero still heard Darkness's voice behind the door with his super hearing.

"Listen up, in front of Her Majesty Alice, you just need to concentrate on eating, but don't do anything stupid! You will lose your head if you are not careful!"

Although Darkness had a thousand warnings, Nero really wanted to say... If you don't expect these living treasures to do anything, it's better to hope that Xiaoyu can listen to Jackie Chan and stay in a safe place and not run around.

The door was pushed open.

When he saw the figures behind the door, Nero couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The first is Darkness, who is standing at the front. Today, she has changed out of her armor and is wearing a pure white dress. Her long blond hair is braided neatly from near her collarbone and falls forward from her right shoulder. Darkness dressed like this exudes mature charm.

Then there was Megumin. The dress was black in contrast to her skin tone, and the off-shoulder design exposed large swaths of her skin.

And Aqua, she is a goddess after all. Wearing a pure white dress, she is undoubtedly the most stunning one among everyone present... Provided that she does not open her mouth to speak, her goddess-like holy temperament only needs to be As soon as she opens her mouth, she will be broken into pieces.

Darkness, who had a rare ladylike temperament, came over and bowed deeply to Alice and others.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time. Your Highness Alice, Dustinius Ford Lalatina, and her fellow adventurers, would like to say hello to you."

He was very polite, and there was no flaw at all. He didn't look like a masochist like Megumin who always rushes to get blasted every time she uses explosion magic on a monster.

Only in front of Alice, Darkness was quite concerned about her image.

It's just...

"Eh? Elise!"

"Isn't this Elise?!"

"Why is Elise here?!"

Behind Darkness, the three Kazumas looked at Alice with shocked eyes.

"Bold untouchable! How dare you shout in front of Her Royal Highness Alice, and dare to look directly at the royal family with that look! Even a rude adventurer is too ignorant of propriety!"

Claire, who was not in a good mood to begin with, couldn't bear it anymore and even took out the sword from her waist.

Chapter 311 Give Alice a Gift

"Huh~huh~huh! The person in front of you is not only the princess of this country! She is also Yu's adventure partner! Belzego Sterihu Sod Alice!"

Under the gaze of Kazuma and others, Nero proudly said Alice's real name.

After clarifying the situation, Kazuma scratched his head and said.

"So, is Elise actually the pseudonym Alice used during her adventures?"

"Who allowed you to call Her Royal Highness Alice by her name! At least add 'Your Highness' to me! Or just call her Princess!"

"Sword! Sword! Sword! The sword is about to hit me!"

When Alice was adventuring in Axel, she also interacted with several people from Kazuma's team.

Being recognized is normal.

only……

"Didn't you tell them Alice's identity before you came here?"

Nero glanced at Darkness strangely.

"Yes! Why didn't you tell me! Do you know how much I look forward to seeing the princess?!"

After getting rid of Claire, Kazuma immediately jumped in front of Darkness, pulled Darkness's braid hard and said angrily: "I also wanted to leave an excellent and handsome first impression on Her Highness the Princess, so I carefully selected them. Such a dress, and then in the princess palace In front of Her Majesty, I recounted my heroic adventures and made Her Majesty the Princess have a good impression of me. Just like that, I was retained by Her Majesty the Princess and asked me to be her bodyguard or something like that. I moved directly to the royal capital and my development has skyrocketed since then. It couldn’t be better!”

"You guy! How smoothly did you want things to go... And why do you two like to hold on to my braids! Show me the time and occasion! At least something like this needs to be done Wait until there is no one around when you go back..."

Darkness tried to choke Kazuma, but Kazuma held on to Darkness's braid to resist.

Megumin approached Yuyou.

"Hey, Yoyo, you shouldn't have known this for a long time, right?"

"Huh? This...that..."

"Okay, you bastard! I originally thought you were just big-breasted and brainless, but I didn't expect your heart to be as evil as your appearance! You deliberately didn't tell me such a big thing because you wanted to see if I would be embarrassed in front of Her Royal Highness. !”

"No...no! I really didn't think so! And...isn't it too much to have big breasts and no brains? It's not like I thought it would be so big. My shoulders are sore every day, and sleeping is very uncomfortable. I have to Worrying about sagging... I have a hard time, too! Megumi, you idiot!"

"Enemy! I am officially announcing from now on! Youyou are my biggest class enemy! Enemies like you should be tied to a cross and burned to death!"

The spacious banquet hall, which gave off a suitable sense of high-end but was not too luxurious, suddenly became noisy due to the arrival of Kazuma and others.

Alice raised her hand and let out a laugh as clear as a silver bell, her eyes slightly bent like bright crescents.

As for Aqua, who is the best at tidying up... she is lying on the ground at the moment, not knowing what she is doing.

"Okay! It's done!"

What Nero didn't expect was that Aqua actually completed an extremely detailed sand painting in such a short period of time.

The degree of completion of the sand painting is quite high, even compared with the photos.

"As a symbol of friendship, please accept this. Even your upturned and uncombed hair has been reproduced as perfectly as possible."

Nero turned around and found that there was indeed a stupid hair on the top of Alice's head.

Because Aqua mentioned this, Alice blushed and frantically tried to smooth the stupid hair on her head, but after a lot of work, the stupid hair still stood upright, showing amazing perseverance. .

Then, Alice looked at Nero again, and found that the other person was staring at her, and the blush on her cheeks suddenly deepened.

Ah? Isn’t that stupid hair on the top of the head kept on purpose because it’s cute?

Nero thought that the stupid hair on Alice's head was the same as the stupid hair on the head of the hair, and it was also a type of hairstyle.

Aqua's sand painting was handed into Alice's hands, and Alice couldn't put it down. Starlight could be seen twinkling in her jewel-like eyes.

Are you so happy? Speaking of which... shouldn't Yu also give Alice some gifts?

Nero couldn't help but think this way.

…………

Nero's team and Kazuma's team were allowed to live in the royal capital temporarily, and they still lived in the castle.

I heard that Alice had repeatedly requested it. Claire felt it was not appropriate and wanted Nero and others to live somewhere else, but for some unknown reason she did not tell Alice.

"After returning from Axel, Her Highness Alice has become...how should I describe it...much stronger? In many cases, she is able to make decisions of her own free will."

This is what Rein told Nero.

"Hmm! This is really good news."

"Yes, that's great news... Your Highness Alice has also grown up."

Lei Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Following Reine, Nero came to a room.

By the way, isn't this the room that Nero lived in when he lived in the castle?

"Your Excellency Nero, this is where you will live from now on... The inside is still the same as when you left. Because of Your Highness Alice's request, we try to keep it as it is."

Alice, did she always think she would come back here?

Is it really necessary to do this?

Before entering the room, Nero glanced at Reine.

"Hey, Lei Yin, I have a question..."

"Does Your Excellency Nero want to know the location of Miss Yoyo and His Highness Alice's room?"

"Yu still knows about Alice's room...if her room hasn't changed during the time that Yu left."

Nero had done this many times before breaking into Alice's boudoir without others' permission.

Of course, the "others" here refer to Claire, and Alice herself actually agreed. She might even welcome Nero to her room and tell her novel and interesting adventure stories.

"So, you just need to tell Yu the location of Yunyun's room... Megumin and the others can also tell Yu."

After bidding farewell to Reine, Nero entered the room prepared for himself.

It looked exactly the same as when she left.

"Hmmmm...what would be a better gift for Alice?"

The idea had already arisen when he saw Aqua giving Alice the sand painting, but even now Nero is still undecided.

Alice is twelve years old. What gift should she give to a child of this age?

Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation?

Chapter 312 You came at the right time

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and Alice timidly poked her head in from the outside.

"Sister Nero...can I come in?"

"Of course."

With Nero's permission, Alice walked in happily and hugged Nero again.

Alice's longing for Nero did not diminish because of the time they were apart. Instead, it became stronger, like a richer wine.

"Hehe...it smells like Sister Nero..."

While hugging Nero tightly, Alice kept rubbing Nero's face.

She was acting coquettishly towards Nero like a kitten, a look she only showed when she and Nero were alone.

During the previous meal, Alice mostly listened to Kazuma's adventure stories.

Because she knew that when the meal was over, she could come to Nero at any time and ask her to tell her adventure stories.

"Sister Nero... I haven't finished the story you told me before."

"Okay, okay, come sit here, I will continue to tell you... Where did I talk before?"

The hospitality was hard to deny, and Nero also showed a doting smile and told Alice a story again.

After a while, the door was knocked again.

Then, Youyou's voice came through the door.

"Sister Nero...can I come in?"

Yoyo and Alice both have the same shy character.

"Nero...sister?"

For some reason, after hearing what Yoyo called Nero clearly, Alice turned her head and stared at Nero with a frown.

"Hmm?"

From Alice's eyes, Nero saw a little... dissatisfaction?

Why feel dissatisfied? Has anyone messed with Alice?

However, before Nero could take a closer look, Alice got off the bed, opened the door and let Youyou in.

After seeing that it was Alice who opened the door, Youyou showed a surprised expression.

"Eh? Alice? Why are you here?"

As soon as the voice fell, the smart Youyou had already guessed what was going on, and her eyes moved back and forth between Alice in front of her and Nero on the bed.

"Um... am I here at the wrong time?"

"How could that be? You came at the right time."

Alice took Youyou's hand and took her into the room, and then came to Nero together.

"Sister Nero is telling me about your story in the city of water and hot springs. I heard that it is the headquarters of the Axis Cult, and it is characterized by hot springs that are said to be able to heal all injuries... According to the information I received, you met one of the cadres of the Demon King's Army, the Toxic Slime Hans, there, right? It must have been a very difficult battle, right?"

"It's not difficult..."

Although it is difficult to cause an effective attack on that guy, Nero can still pin him to the ground and beat him.

In her opinion, the most difficult thing at that time was not the battle with the Toxic Slime Hans, but dealing with those crazy Axis cultists.

She went to buy an apple, and then the store owner would shout "The store is holding an event recently! Just sign this form and become an Axis cultist! You can pick any fruit in the store for free."
