The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

As if she didn't notice this connotation, Alicia smiled and came to the painting to admire it: "Well, little Gratius is still very good at painting as always... Speaking of which, she Where is she? Why can't she be seen?"

It was impossible for Gracie not to be in front of the painting during the painting process, not to mention that the painting was not finished yet and there was still a large blank space - that was obviously not blank space.

"rustle......"

Suddenly, a friction sound came from the grass not far away, and then a small figure rolled out from it.

It was a cute little girl who looked about ten years old, had long blue hair, and was wearing a white dress. Judging from his expression, he seems a little dazed, like he just woke up?

"It's little Gratio!"

Alicia immediately walked over and picked up Graciu who rolled to the ground: "How did you roll out of the grass? Graciu?"

"Well......"

Graciu, who was held in her arms, opened her eyes slightly, stretched out her hands to rub them and said softly: "Ah...it's sister Alicia, long time no see."

Very nice sound.

There is a sense of immaturity unique to children, but——

"Alicia...sister?"

Hearing this title, Alexia's eyes when looking at Alicia suddenly changed in some unexplainable way, causing a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old to call her sister...

"Uh...can you please stop looking at me with such a strange look? Alexia, this is really just an accident, I swear." Alicia said with an embarrassed look, "Little Gracie , please call me [Sister Alicia] now.”

"Well, okay, sister Alicia."

"...."

Pfft——!

Looking at Alicia who was silent on the spot, Alexia couldn't help laughing softly, which directly made Alicia blush a little on the spot: "Don't, don't laugh, Alexia, this It was a long time ago, and I didn’t expect that Little Gray Sisters would never change!”

"I think it suits you quite well, [Sister Alicia]." Shajo Aige couldn't help laughing as she flew out of Alexia's body, "Although you look like an adult, in my opinion, you are actually an adult on the inside. Just like a child, there is nothing wrong with calling you [Sister]. Come on, please call me [Sister Ai Ge]?"

"this......"

"Well, hello, sister Ai Ge."

Before Alicia could respond to Sajo Aegane, Graciu spoke up first: "Also... hello, big brother."

"He is really a good boy~~~~"

Sajo Aige was very satisfied and floated in front of Graciu. If she could touch Graciu, she would have started to touch her head by now.

And Alexia also stepped forward, condensed a flower made of ice in the palm of her hand and placed it in front of Graciu: "Hello, Graciu. I am Alexia, just call me Alexia. This is our first time. Please accept the gift from the meeting."

"Gift?"

Graciu took the ice crystal flower from Ixia's hand: "....What's the color of Uncle Kevin?"

Kevin...uncle? !

Another unexpected call made Exia unable to completely turn around for a moment.

Is that Kevin's seniority in the Fire Moth actually already an uncle to Gratius?

(I can probably imagine Mr. Kevin’s expression when he heard this title...)

"Sure enough, little Gratius can tell." Alicia smiled, "Let me tell you, little Gratius, he has a very deep relationship with Kevin."

"Then...Uncle Alexia?"

"..."

Alexia fell silent for a moment.

uncle?

He was called uncle when he was only eighteen years old! ?

"Oops~~~Now you are an uncle~~~Does that sound good? [Uncle Alexia]?" Alicia half-covered her mouth and said with the corners of her mouth raised, "This is little Gratius. Oh, accept this title of yours with gratitude."

"Alicia...did you do this on purpose?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

(This woman!)

Looking at Alicia who looked like her conspiracy had succeeded, Alexia couldn't help curling her lips: "Tch, it's better than [Sister Alicia], at least my age is right. Having said that, this way Come on, aren't you younger than me? Why don't you call me [Brother Alexia]?"

"Oh? Shouldn't it be [uncle]?"

"Call [brother]."

"I don't want it~~~[Uncle]."

Unconsciously, the conversation between Alexia and Alicia developed in a very strange direction.

As the third person, looking at the two people whose foreheads were almost touching each other and staring at each other constantly, Shajo Aige floated in the air, letting the familiar feeling spread to every corner of his body.

(Is it really like this again?)

At this moment, Sajo Aige seemed to have returned to the time of Genkami Island. The scene in front of her was almost like the scene where Ixia and Aniha Asazu were quarreling - but Aiwa Asazu did look a little bit like Alicia. , causing her to be directly reminded of past memories.

"Sister Aige..."

Graciu looked at the blond elder sister in front of her with some doubts. The Shajo Aige in her eyes before was still a beautiful, noble and elegant golden color. Why did it turn into a grass-like green now?

How strange.

63. Kos Magic card player

The [seniority] dispute between Alexia and Alicia did not last long.

After finally ending the little joke with a tacit silence, Alicia looked at Gratius again: "Speaking of which, why does little Gratius sleep in the grass? Where's Kosmo? Not all the time. Is he taking care of you?"

"Halfway through painting, I felt sleepy and fell asleep." Graciu explained, "Cosmo said he was going to get the quilt. Lying on the ground was not good."

"Oh~~~~~"

Alicia trailed off.

"So, did you bring the quilt? Kosma?"

"..."

Not far away, as Alicia's words fell, a young man walked out with steady but silent steps from behind a big tree.

It was a young man with a handsome face, but demonic features everywhere on his body.

There are curved black sharp horns growing on the head, and the hands are covered with sharp claws that are either shells or equipment, and demon-like wings extend from behind... Ixia once saw it in Kuoh Town. He has met many demons, and compared to the group of people in the Supernatural Research Department, the young man in front of him seems to be closer to the image of a "demon" in a general sense.

"Is he... Kosma?"

"Yes, let me introduce you, Alexia." Alicia stepped forward, "He is Kosmo, one of the guardians of little Gratius. Usually, he will know where little Gratius is. Where. That’s why I said we can see everyone at once this time.”

"I see...Hello, Mr. Cosmo."

Alexia came to Kosma and stretched out her hand to him: "I am Alexia, Alexia Messiah Kaslana, the [successor] who came to the paradise of the past, please take care of me." .”

"..."

Without immediately holding Alexia's hand, Kosmo just looked at him and the hand stretched out in front of him in silence, without any change in his expression or eyes.

(Uh...what kind of reaction is this?)

Alexia Yugi was at a loss.

Alicia smiled and said: "This reaction, let me think about it... Well, it should be - [He seems to be a good person, but is it too underestimated to shake hands with strangers when they meet for the first time? Are you a little more careful? You still have to be careful...but Alicia is here, so there’s probably no danger]——Is that what you mean?”

"...Where did you see that he wanted to express this meaning?" Alexia couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in surprise.

He didn't see any changes in Kosmo at all. How could Alicia infer so much just from such a silent reaction? !

"Hmph~~~ In the past, in Fire Chaser, Kosmo's taciturn character caused everyone a lot of trouble, and naturally I was the one who solved this problem. "Silent Boy 100" "Question" - This book written by me can translate most of Cosmo's psychological reactions under normal circumstances." Alicia smiled proudly, "For example, what Cosmo is thinking about right now is ——”

"...No need to say any more, Alicia."

As if he wanted to interrupt Alicia to continue breaking the news, Kosmo said coldly, and at the same time quickly shook hands with Aixia: "Cosmo. Hello."

(It’s really concise and concise. Isn’t he colder than Kevin?)

Kevin is cold and cold, but he always says what needs to be said, and there are quite a few truths in fact. But Kos Mo... Exia feels that he is somewhat precious about his words?

"So, what's the matter? Come here." Kosmo asked, "If you need to engrave it, I can give it to you, and then leave."

"Well......"

"Don't be so cold, Cosmo. It's been a long time since you and Gratius have appeared in front of us. Let's talk more, okay?"

Kosmo: "..."

Alicia: "Oh? This reaction is... [Is it really that long? There is no time here. Could it be that hundreds of years have passed?]"

Kosmo: "..."

Alicia: “This time it’s [there’s no need to tell them all, right?]—Okay, okay~~~ No kidding, I’m actually looking for you and little Gratius this time, and even going to find Apponi later. Ya, I have something very big to discuss with you!"

A big, big period?

This sentence made Kosmo have some reaction: "...What is it?"

"Ahem, actually -"

Alicia briefly explained the topics previously discussed in the hall of the Paradise to Kosma and Gratius, and also told the decisions of other heroes, such as their decision to leave her and others. , Kevin and the others decided to become their true selves, as well as Qianjie, Sakura and the others.

After listening to Alicia's explanation, Kosma also set his sights on Exia.

(Leaving the Paradise of the Past, does this person actually have such power? Moreover, I didn’t expect that there are so many people who want to leave the Paradise of the Past, even Kevin... So what should I say here? I’m not the person to go to the new era either—no, the important thing is Gratius.)

"...I'll forget it."

After thinking about a lot of things in his heart, and finally boiling it down to this sentence, Kosmo looked at Graciu: "What about you, Graciu?"

"Um...get out?"

Gratius, who was holding a paintbrush in his hand, looked at Alexia with some confusion: "Going out, where are you going?"

"Of course it's to go to the outside world, little Gratio." Alicia smiled, "To use what little Gratio likes to say, it's a place where little Gratio can be exposed to more [colors]. As for the world, there are countless colors waiting for you to discover in the vast world, are you looking forward to it?"

"Yeah, I like the color."

Gracie nodded.

"Do you want Kosma to come too?"

"..."

Under Graciu's gaze, Kosma fell silent again.

But this time, Alicia did not express his inner thoughts: "There is no need to rush to give us the answer, little Gratius, Kosma. Until Exia leaves, it is all your consideration. Take your time, Kosma had better discuss it with Little Gray Xiu."

"......Um."

"Okay! Then only Aponia is left!" Alicia looked at Alexia, "Let's move on, Alexia. If we finish early, we should be able to go back and catch up with Mei's dinner!"

"How did you become like Kiana?"

Alexia sighed helplessly and said: "Then let's say goodbye first, Mr. Cosmo and Sister Gratius. I came to disturb you all of a sudden. If there is a chance, we can meet again later."

Graciu: "Okay, bye, Uncle Alexia."

Kosmo: "...Hmm."

Alexia: "......"

(So, is Kosmo really too precious about his words? And I am really not an uncle!!!)

64. Seductive and depraved nun

Alexia felt familiar again.

Just after Alicia and I stepped into the door leading to the deepest place, a familiar feeling of déjà vu hit our faces.

【dark】.

The darkness with no end in sight instantly occupied the entire space around Exia, extending infinitely to the front and back, and even above and below. It is certain that only the boundaries of the road can be clearly seen on the left and right. That’s all.

This is a road that stretches endlessly in the darkness.
