"Miss Alisa."

"Hehe, the answer is correct."

After hearing Roja's honest answer, a melodious chuckle rang out. Before Roja could get any reward for answering the question correctly, a light kiss landed on the boy's cheek, causing the black-haired boy to stop. .

After the light kiss, Alyssa let go of the little hand that blocked the boy's eyes, and came to Roja's front in a circle, and threw herself into the boy's arms, rubbing and rubbing, obviously very happy, but feeling Seeing the warmth of the girl in his arms, Roja couldn't restrain a smile on his face.

"Alisa, are you back so early?"

"Well, but it's not too early, it will be time for the dinner in a while."

"Dinner..."

"That's right. Almost all the servants are busy there today. It's rare to come back once. My father must also attach great importance to it. But in this period, there are probably a lot fewer people participating."

Answering the boy's question softly, the silver-haired girl showed a slight exclamation on her face, while Roja, who heard the words, nodded slightly, thinking about the routines and responsibilities of the first day of the new year.

In the Holy Kingdom of San Mestre, except for the royal family in the holy capital, all the nobles spent the New Year with their families, and on the first night of the New Year, a dinner was held to entertain the high-ranking officials of the territory and their subordinates with higher titles. low nobles.

After working hard for a year, the great noble as suzerain is obliged to entertain his subordinates. By the way, when everyone is eating and drinking, he will talk about the goals for the next year, adjust the grievances and grievances of various departments, and strengthen the spirit of unity and cooperation among all parties in the territory. By the way, meet the lord's family members, which is probably the purpose of the dinner.

Similar to this kind of New Year's dinner, Roja held it several times when he was the acting lord, but it was different from when Cartier hosted it, and it was the same as the company's annual meeting. It's like a new startup.

This year, Roja's father rarely came back from the front line. Roja naturally relieved the burden of the host, and turned to Cartier to run it. We should seize the opportunity to summon the representatives of all parties and explain the precautions for the territory in the next few years.

It was precisely because of this major event that Katya and the others went to catch up on sleep this morning, otherwise staying up all night would not be a big problem for high-level transcendents at all.

However, it is worth mentioning that after the Alien War, Akat led many people to the battlefield, and did not come back with Cartier, so this year's New Year's dinner may have a lot fewer people. Ya had expected it a long time ago, but to be honest, after a series of things happened, the boy's mind was no longer on it.

Thinking of the crisis that might arise at any time, Roja's expression became unavoidably serious, and as if sensing Roja's emotions, the smile on the silver-haired girl's face also began to slowly shrink.

After the red eyes stared at Roja for a moment, Alisa noticed something flickering in her eyes, and after a long time hesitated, she said softly:

"Brother... After I left, what happened?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Why... Brother is an adult, do you think this kind of thing can be hidden from me?"

"..."

Looking at the boy who opened his eyes slightly, the silver-haired girl stretched out her hand, caressed Roja's cheek gently, and said softly:

"I don't know how many times I've seen this appearance of my elder brother since I was a child..."

"Alyssa?"

"Brother, something bad happened again, I understand, because I have been watching."

The girl who said so sighed slightly, looked down at the boy's hand, and said with some distress:

"When encountering things that are difficult to deal with, difficult things, or when you are nervous, your elder brother will subconsciously hold hands tightly. I understand that this is to cheer yourself up."

"!"

Hearing Alisa's words, the black-haired boy couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. He didn't expect his little habit to be seen so clearly by Alisa.

When the black-haired boy was still young and lacking in strength, Roja would use this method to relieve the pressure every time he encountered a difficult decision or crisis. By the way, he would cheer himself up in his heart and force himself to act.

During those difficult years, the black-haired boy survived in this way, and after his strength gradually became stronger, Roja’s similar habits became much less, but the boy did not expect that he had always been regarded as The girl who was guarding the object actually knew this.

"Hehe, are you surprised? This kind of hint to myself, my brother used it a lot when I was young, and I have known it for a long time."

"In the past, I didn't dare to ask you when I saw you were distressed, because I was too weak at that time, and I was afraid that I would become a drag if I couldn't help you, but...it's different now."

"Brother, I'm already a high-level transcendent, and I'm almost an adult. Although I'm a little arrogant, I think I already have some abilities, and it's time to share some things for you, so... Can you tell me what's on your mind?"

The silver-haired girl who said so raised her eyes, looking at the black-haired boy waiting for the result, and hearing Alisa's words, Roja fell into silence for a moment, letting out a slight sigh.

To be honest, Roja didn't want to involve the girl in danger even if Alisa had become a high-level transcendent of source level 3, but this time the situation was a bit special.

If the battle is really going to take place in this land, then whether she wants to or not, Arisa will be involved. In that case, rather than concealing it, it seems that it is better to take the initiative to explain it, so that the girl can be psychologically prepared.

"Alisa, actually, I just got a hint from the ancient god..."

Thinking of this, Roja thought for a moment, and said Altasia's warning and the uneasiness in his heart. After hearing Roja's words, the silver-haired girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then frowned. His brows darkened a little.

For Roja, Acate City is a hometown with feelings, and for Alyssa, this is also the place where Roja met, knew each other, and fell in love. It is full of countless precious memories. Anyone who wants to destroy this place , is an absolute mortal enemy for girls.

"...It is extremely disgusting to want to destroy this place and hurt my elder brother."

The silver-haired girl who said so was extremely angry, but after being dazzled by the anger for a few seconds, Alyssa regained her senses and raised her head, looking at the black-haired boy.

"Brother, do you have any strategy?"

"There is too little information this time, so I don't have any good solutions. I wrote letters to the Holy See and Rose before, asking for support, but that's all."

"I see......"

The silver-haired girl lowered her head and began to meditate as she said so, and Roja blinked when she saw Alisa who was so nervous, and began to persuade her.

"However...you don't need to be too nervous. Although it was Altasia's warning, I haven't gotten in touch with her yet, so there may be misunderstandings, inconsistencies, etc. As for my restlessness The feeling is not necessarily because of danger.”

"Brother..."

"At least so far, nothing has happened, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being. The New Year's dinner is about to start, so let's adjust our emotions."

"......I understand."
