Poverty Alleviation Princess

"Giotto!" The red-haired young man disapproved.

They have indeed experienced many things together, and he also admitted that this noble girl is different from most nobles he has seen, and can be a reliable companion.

But the casket is different.

The box is too important and too special—this is the power that can change the destiny of a country.

He didn't dare to gamble with the matter of the box.

Therefore, he believes that the less people know about the specific situation of the scorpion, the better.

Especially not to let the nobles know.

"That's not the attitude of asking others." Miyamoto Musashi, who was listening in the room, raised his eyes.Because Arnold was there, she didn't go that day.

If she had known that she would encounter such a dangerous thing, she should have stayed there to protect the eldest lady, not to mention that those people treat the beautiful boys like this, it is even more unforgivable!

Lord God will never forgive!

"It's not us..."

Before G could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Giotto.The blond young man shook his head at his companion, G pursed his lips, although he disagreed, he did not continue talking.

The two looked at the thoughtful A Yuan together.

"If you're talking about a wooden box that looks old but doesn't have a family coat of arms or something to prove its origin, I have one."

A Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

Whether it's a coincidence or what the reason is, and it doesn't matter whether that is what they are looking for.They were looking for it, and they had such a thing, so it wouldn't matter if they showed it to others.

... At least it is a fateful relationship, there is no need to cause misunderstandings because of this matter.

A Yuan picked up the strange wooden box from the bedside table.

It is still the same as before, and it has not suddenly turned into a magical girl's little partner or some strange system carrier.Lying obediently on A Yuan's hands, she took her to the reception room.

"This is it!"

g is overjoyed.

"What the hell is this?"

A Yuan asked casually.

It's not greedy, but it's all over my own hands, so I have to know what it is, right?

"..." G stopped talking.

Giotto answered A Yuan's question very happily:

"It's the cornerstone."

"It is said that it is part of the cornerstone of this world." Giotto did not rush to snatch the wooden box from her, but seriously explained the true identity of the wooden box. "There are rumors that the Holy Grail that King Arthur pursued back then was made from another cornerstone, so it has the power to fulfill wishes."

"So as long as you can use its power, you can..."

"Making a wish to become a magical girl?" A Yuan answered subconsciously.

After all, her sister-in-law is a magical girl who has accepted the inherited power.

"...What is a magical girl?"

"..." She forgot that in this era, no one knew about magical girls.

"Magical girl... is my sister-in-law." She responded casually, ending the topic, "Okay, let's continue, so what is the cornerstone of this world? How to use its power?"

A Yuan raised the wooden box and looked at it carefully against the light.

No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary wooden box.It is neither transparent to light, nor any mysterious words or fragrance appear.There is no sudden glow or heat.Not to mention the sudden recognition of the owner and the appearance of a portable space or system...

Oh no, she already has a system, and it's useless to have a second one.

If I had to say something peculiar, it would probably be the strange and quaint patterns on it, and the unnamed wood material.

"But having said that, how can you be sure that this is the wooden box you are looking for?" Could it be an imitation?

"Excuse me for being rude." Giotto stood up and walked in front of Yuan, then raised his hand to touch the box under the gaze of Yuan and Musashi.

I don't know how he did it, but his fingertips lit up, and then the wooden box in A Yuan's hand also changed.Although it was only for a short moment, Ah Yuan saw the process of it changing from wood to translucent crystal like crystal.I also felt the flashing warmth from the palm of my hand.

After finishing all this, the blond youth sat back to his original position.

...It has been in my hands for so long that there is no movement, maybe it is just because I am not the chosen one.

To be honest, she was a little bit moved.

A Yuan looked at the wooden box that had been restored to its original state, and then at the blond young man in front of him who was calmly waiting for his decision.

It is true that he was facing something that he urgently needed, but he did not lie or change the subject, but quietly waited for the owner of the wooden box to make a decision after explaining.

This is something extremely precious.

It's the only hope they have right now.So whatever she asks, they accept.

"That's it." A Yuan raised his hand, and threw the wooden box in Giotto's direction without any warning.

Noticing something flying towards him, Giotto subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.

It wasn't until he took the wooden box in his hand that he realized what he had caught.

"...Wait, you just gave it to us?"

The red-haired G's eyes widened, and he leaned back a little bit in disbelief, even his breathing was confused.

"This is the cornerstone!"

Have the cornerstone of the power to change the world!

"if not."

'You are so strange' on the face of the young princess.

You are the one who wants to get it no matter what, and you are the one who is surprised and angry when you get it. What do you want to do?

"Otherwise, I'll take it back and bleed to recognize the owner?"

There are also stories like this, where nothing happened for 20 years, and the door to a new world was opened as soon as the blood was smeared on it.She really forgot to smear the blood to try.

Hearing her words, G immediately tensed his muscles, as if he would risk his life to escape if she wanted to take it back.

"G." Giotto was extremely helpless, of course he saw the narrowness in A Yuan's eyes.

It's just that he didn't expect to get the cornerstone so...so easily.

After all, this is the cornerstone, the carrier of the legendary power that is said to be used to make the Holy Grail.

Even if I am a person who is always said to be taken advantage of, after knowing its true identity, I am afraid that I will not give it up so easily.

He looked at the girl in front of him again.

This is a girl with good facial features and clear eyes. She is not wearing the luxurious dresses that are popular among nobles nowadays, nor does she deliberately use the so-called 'aristocratic accent'.However, as long as she sits there, no one will doubt her noble status.

It's not that the nobles don't have people who are willing to do good, but those who don't have any demands give up such power.It's really...unbelievable.

"If you really mind, sell yourself to me."

Seeing that the two were still unacceptable, A Yuan smiled, she stood up and walked in front of Giotto, looking straight at this handsome young man who made people feel warm like sunshine, "Provide your strength to Me, keep me and my property safe—well, that sounds like a good deal, doesn't it?"

"But we won't be staying in London for long."

After hesitating for a moment, Giotto chose to respond sincerely.Of course he can make a promise first and then not keep it, but he is unwilling to deceive his friends, especially Youen and his friends.

"I'm leaving London too."

Having said that, A Yuan let out a long sigh.

"It should be these few days. I'm going to go to the Two Sicilies to inherit my property."

While talking, A Yuan gave a name.

"This is here, this is the property I want to inherit."

……What's wrong?

Noticing that the two locals in Two Sicilies fell silent, A Yuan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked.

The two youths looked at each other, and finally Giotto said hesitantly, "You...you couldn't have been cheated by someone, could you?"

???

"You should change your medicine, Master Cain."

In Cain's room, Liv brought the ointment and towel, ready to help the black-haired boy lying on the bed change the dressing.

"..."

Hearing his voice, the black-haired boy on the bed buried his head in the pillow.He pretended that he didn't hear anything and didn't know anything.

"Master." Liv walked to the bed with a smile.

"Even if you dodge the drug, it doesn't change the fact that you got spanked."

"--To shut up."

Cain lifted the pillow and threw it at Liv who was beside the bed.

He just didn't want to face it so he didn't want to take the medicine.

'Pain' was no stranger to Cain.Despite his fear of pain, his life has been associated with pain from an early age.

It must be said that the pain in the butt is much less than it has ever been.It doesn't matter if you don't apply the medicine.

but!Does he care about pain? ?

What he cares about is face!

He, a man who will formally enter the social world in a few years, was unexpectedly spanked by a girl on his leg.

How could he accept this! ?

When he felt the first drop on his butt, with the slight tingling, he even felt that he heard the sound of his heart breaking.

Self-esteem, and three views.They were all shattered as the thin stick fell on his buttocks.

From 'How can a lady do such a thing! ? '

To 'how can I be reduced to being spanked by a girl! ? '—Even if this person is my cousin by blood, that won't work.Although he didn't have the awareness that a man is the head of the family and women can only be obedient, but he was spanked by his cousin, no matter how he thought about it, it was wrong.

"Miss is also for your own good." Liv hid from the pillow and said seriously, "Master, you are indeed too reckless this time."

Abandoning himself and other servants, sneaking into the enemy's base camp alone...

A little carelessness is an irreparable disaster.

Liv didn't want to think about that outcome.

"I know."

Cain sullenly grabbed another pillow and lay down on it again.

It was because he knew that that he felt extra awkward - and he didn't know how to face his cousin.

The pain in his buttocks has long been gone. The reason why he still wants to stay in bed like this is not only that the wounds on his body from being beaten by those people are still not healed, but also that he doesn't know how to face his cousin now.

Not admitting mistakes seems to be very ignorant, but admitting mistakes at this time seems to be too deliberate.

……too weird.

Uchiha Madara had a long-lost dream.

He rarely dreams.But even the occasional dream is mostly a nightmare.

Dreams of the cold corpses of brothers, of scarlet fields and ravenous vultures.

Dreaming of weeping people, and countless burning cities.He didn't want to see such a scene, but he would see these every year and every month.

Time and time again, year after year.

But this time was different, he dreamed of the day when he embarked on a journey to find Ji Jun.

After stabilizing the situation, training his subordinates to look good, and properly arranging the work at hand, he can finally let go of everything, no longer bound by his family and responsibilities, and only live for himself once.

After finally walking out of Huiye Kingdom, the much calmer youth was in a daze.

He couldn't remember the last time he left Hui Ye Country far away.

Ah, it's probably time to go to the country of water for disaster relief.

He took people day and night to open up a completely different path for ninjas from the past.After that, he never traveled far again.

Even the farthest place you go, you can come back within a day.

Since then, this country has become a place he desperately wants to return to.Even... He has a more sense of belonging than Uchiha's clan.

He always thought that this sense of belonging came from this city, and everything he expected in this city.

After all, this city is like the embodiment of his dream.

However, until I lost Ji Jun, until those scenes that I thought were friendly suddenly became a little strange, and the room that I thought would be my residence for the rest of my life became strange and empty.

He suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not the 'city' and 'room' that gave him a sense of belonging and peace of mind.Instead, he created all of this and gave it all to Ji Jun here.

Everything is because of Ji Jun... No, it's all because of A Yuan's existence.

Because of her.

But now, she is gone.

'you are tired. '

A voice came from nowhere.

...Yeah, he was actually very tired.

From a long time ago.

It started when I carried the lives of the clansmen and the glory of Uchiha on my back.He didn't care about the physical exhaustion, but the loss again and again, the despair again and again, made him feel like he was bound by heavy shackles.

Every step he takes is so heavy that he has the illusion that if he is a little careless, he will fall into the abyss.

As soon as he thought of this, the exhaustion buried in the deepest part surged up and surrounded him.

He is very tired.

I was too tired to lift my hands and feet.

Tired enough to want to stop here - he is so tired, why can't he rest?

have a rest.

It's already very good, the dream has been realized, and he has no reason to go on.

The quiet and comfortable environment at this moment is also silently tempting him, wanting him to stop here.

have a rest.

You have done your best.

"……Do not."

Uchiha Madara heard himself answering this way.

"If I'm really doing my best, the light won't go away."

Warm and soft light.It may not be dazzling enough, but it is enough to dispel the darkness and illuminate the way forward.

"I'm going to bring back our light."

He opened his eyes, his scarlet pupils staring straight ahead.

"Nobody wants me to stop."

"..."

Hearing his answer, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of light came out of nowhere and engulfed him whole.
