The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"Okay. It's over. We can go home. Anyway, let's take you home to take a shower and then change some clothes."

103. Anna: I don’t wear it

Alexia's house.

Returning here in the car with Alexia, Anna stood in front of the gate - she never thought she could come back.

After all, she was even a little afraid of coming back here before. Every time she came back, she felt a little uncomfortable, as if this was not her home. And now that she has become a Herrscher, it stands to reason that what awaits her should be a place similar to a prison.

It was really unexpected for her to be able to return to this home again.

"I'm back - that's what I say, but no one is home."

After shouting at the entrance as usual, Alexia remembered that the house should be empty now.

The impact of the fourth collapse in Manila spread to the entire Metro Manila, and some of its surrounding areas were also affected. To deal with such a large area, it is definitely impossible for the people in Exia's family not to go out. Now they are probably all conducting search and rescue operations in various parts of Metro Manila.

It is estimated that Kiana will be the busiest.

Having mastered the power of Herrscher of the Sky to a certain extent, she should not be too useful when saving people.

"Dududu~~~~!"

Suddenly, just when Alexia and Anna came to the living room, Alexia's personal terminal rang several times - it was a phone call.

He took it out directly and connected it, and Aixia said: "This is Aikexia."

[It’s me, Bianca. How is the situation over there? Alexia]

Bianca's voice came from the personal terminal.

Alexia glanced at Anna, who suddenly became nervous: "Generally, everything is almost settled. I took Anna back to the headquarters. Now I have completed the physical examination. I have already discussed all the relevant matters with the bishop. Everything Everything went well - where are you?"

[I can’t say I’m very optimistic. The area affected by the disaster is really too large. Even if more than 50 teams are assembled, there are still some shortages of manpower. They will probably stay here for half a month. 】

"Do you need my help?"

[No need, just stay with Anna at home... Although I don’t know why she became a Herrscher, but since you have saved her now, stay with her until she is satisfied. Bar. We will take care of it here, but don’t underestimate everyone in the Exia family]

[That’s it, I took the time to tell you that the Immortal Blade just reported to me that an emperor-level Honkai Beast appeared, and I have to deal with it]

After saying this, Bianca hung up the communication without even giving Alexia time to recover.

Putting down the personal terminal, Alexia gave a helpless smile: "It seems that in the next half month, there will be only the two of us at home, Anna, it will feel a lot deserted - ah... Oops Already..."

As if she suddenly remembered something, Alexia's face froze.

Anna asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"If it's just the two of us... what about three meals a day? I can only cook some very basic meals. Anna, I remember your cooking skills..."

"I-I have special training in the Snow Lotus Team!"

Ana quickly blushed and emphasized!

"Although I'm not at the level of Rita and Mei, but, I'm definitely better than you! So I'll be responsible for the three meals at home these days! I will take the responsibility to fill your stomach!"

If you think about it carefully, this can be regarded as a responsibility that you must bear as Alexia's lover.

His cooking skills are 100% overwhelming if he tries a slightly more difficult recipe. If he doesn't develop his cooking skills, the two of them will really have to go hungry - Anna has thought about this at some point, and what will happen in Snow Lotus This is also why the team practices cooking skills. Of course, there is also the reason why they want to make themselves more valuable.

"That's good."

Alexia smiled: "Then until they come back, I will rely on you to support me, Anna."

"......Um!"

With her cheeks slightly red, Ana turned her head and nodded slightly.

But at the same time--

(Wait...before they come back?)

What Bianca said unintentionally just now made Anna pay attention.

She actually didn't pay much attention to what Bianca said. When Bianca's voice sounded, she seemed to be distracted - but now she noticed that she would spend a long time with Ai The fact that Ksia was alone.

(If I am alone, that means...no one will bother me.)

Because of the special status of the Exia family, it is impossible for guests to visit. Even Bishop Otto will not come to visit. Everything is communicated through communication, so there is no need to worry about a third party appearing in this family.

And this period will last for less than half a month.

During this time...

"Anna."

"Huh? Uh...I'm here!"

Hearing Alexia suddenly call her, Anna quickly responded: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong...I've put away the bath water. You go and take a bath. Isn't it possible that you can't get rid of your Herrscher look now?"

"I...I don't know."

Anna looked at her clothes.

Although the Ice Herrscher's consciousness has been controlled and sealed, Anna still looks like the Ice Herrscher. She is indeed very beautiful like this, but she cannot maintain this state forever, and she will have a lot of troubles in her daily life.

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but have the idea of ​​"controlling the power and turning herself back into a human being".

And right after——

"Snapped!"

The Herrscher costume on Anna's body was like a shell that shattered. In an instant, it turned into countless fragments and ice crystals cracked and disappeared into the air, causing Anna to instantly change back to wearing only the Valkyrie uniform.

(Changed back?!)

"It seems that it can be changed back." Alexia smiled, "Kiana seems to have a change in appearance when she uses the power of the Herrscher of the Sky. I wonder if you can do the same. , it seems that there is no problem - then you go take a shower, I will go up and help you get a change of clothes first. Just take your pajamas, okay? Just put the clothes you changed on the floor, and I will put them in the washing machine later. "

"Yes. Sorry to trouble you."

"Little things...ah~~~ By the way, that..."

Before walking up the stairs, Alexia suddenly paused and turned to look at Anna with some hesitation: "Do you want to change your underwear? If you want to change...which one is better for me?"

"Well----!"

When the matter of underwear was mentioned in this way, Anna's cheeks turned red to her ears, and her head buried deeply.

Indeed, if you want to take a shower, you must change your underwear. You can't still wear dirty clothes after taking a shower. What's the difference between that and not taking a shower?

"Then, then..."

Ana's face turned red and she bit her lip.

"No need to take it...I...I don't wear anything underneath when I sleep...It's not like you don't know...you idiot."

"...."

Only then did Alexia react.

Because Anna last went home more than ten days ago, and because she had been sleeping with Kiana and Mei recently, Alexia had forgotten about this incident.

104. Do you want to wash them together?

Tick ​​tock…

Water drops from the ceiling fell to the floor, making a crisp sound.

"Well......."

In the oversized bathroom of Alexia's house, which can accommodate more than a dozen people taking a bath at the same time.

She sank into the bathtub with the right temperature, leaning against the Aquarius goddess statue that was constantly flowing out hot water. The overly comfortable environment made Anna scream.

(It’s really been a long time since I took a bath in the bathtub at home~~~The last time was when I came back.)

That was more than ten days ago.

The Snow Lotus team base in Manila does not have such a good environment. There is only a shower room attached to the training room. Anna didn't mean to belittle the treatment of her team, but compared to the ultra-luxury villa and castle specially built by Bishop Otto at the Exia's house, it was really a bit shabby.

By the way, this large bathroom has been remodeled once.

Originally, this place was just a relatively luxurious shower room, which could only accommodate two or three people. However, as there were more and more people at home, and considering that other people might live in the house in the future, they would have to take turns to take a shower every night. It was a waste of time, so Exia applied for a fund from Bishop Otto to make a major renovation of the place.

But speaking of transformation, Anna remembered that it was when Alexia made a wish. The thing called the Great Holy Grail can rewrite reality at will, which is really powerful.

And because of this, the only person who can usually enjoy the place alone is Exia. After all, he is the only male in the family. Unless there are special circumstances, the other girls come together.

It was the same when Anna came back. There were nine or ten people in the bath every time, and it was very lively.

(Is this your first time taking a bath here alone?)

Looking up at the ceiling, Anna's vision gradually became hazy under the mist.

Drowsiness gradually came over me.

In terms of time, it was less than two hours ago that she became the Herrscher of Ice, not even two and a half hours. But now she felt sleepy, and there was a sense of exhaustion all over her body, as if she had stayed up late for a week...

But thinking about it carefully, she really hadn't had a good sleep in a few days. She has been troubled by her inner thoughts and worried about this and that all day long. It has been a while since her sleep quality has deteriorated.

And now...

(I no longer need to think about those things before, right?)

Grabbing a bunch of her own hair, Anna stared at her snow-white hair - even after controlling the Herrscher's power and removing the Herrscher's costume, the color of her hair did not change back. It seemed that at least in this aspect it was What about permanent changes.

He really became a lawyer.

If it weren't for the fact that she could clearly feel the power within her body, Anna wouldn't have much sense of reality. And as a Herrscher, not only was I not killed, but I survived...

(How should I thank Alexia?)

Anna knew that Alexia would probably say that she didn't need to repay him or anything, but even as a lover, being saved by him all the time but not giving him anything in return, Anna felt a little unreasonable in her heart.

or--

"Hmm...would he want to?"

Reaching out and touching her neck, Anna further sunk half of her head into the bathtub, blowing bubbles.

She also knew about Alexia's change. Since he refused anyone who came, he wouldn't refuse if she took the initiative to donate blood. In addition, Anna also remembered that even if it was only in name, she was also Alexia's fiancée and the marriage partner of Kaslana and Shaniat.

Logically speaking, she should have been sucked by Alexia long ago.

But she never dedicated it to Aixia. Even the child Bronya had obviously taken the initiative, but she kept dawdling like this - if the Shaniyat family knew about it, they would definitely be furious, and maybe even Siegfried and Siegfried. Cecilia's story was brought out to preach.

"Anna!"

Suddenly, Alexia's voice sounded outside the bath.

Anna was startled and stuck her head out of the bath. She quickly wrapped herself in a towel and responded, "What's wrong? Alexia?"

"I took down your pajamas for you. Because I didn't know which one you wanted, I took the one you were wearing when we met before."

"Oh! Okay, okay!"

What were you wearing when we met before?

That slightly see-through pink silk pajamas? !

Anna blushed.

(Why, why do you need to take that one...)

Just like many girls have a closet full of clothes, Anna's closet is the same. Whether it's casual clothes or pajamas that she wears on a daily basis, her closet is full of clothes - of course, not her own. She bought it, but it was prepared for her by the Shaniyat family.

Said it was part of the [dowry].

"Is the water temperature still suitable?"

Alexia's voice came again.

"Because I used my ability to heat it quickly, will it be too hot?"

"No, the water temperature is just right!"

"That's good."

Through the swirling clouds and mist, Anna seemed to see Alexia putting something down outside the door.

"Then I'll put your pajamas here. You can wash them slowly. I'll wait for you to come out in the living room. I'll take a bath when you're ready."
