The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

Although this male mother cannot cook, the kitchen is a restricted area for him.

But this does not hinder the fact that he is a good man. Rather, to say that his cooking skills are outstanding is to say that he is perfect and somewhat unreal.

"I certainly said this after careful consideration."

Sakura nodded seriously.

"First of all, [all of us owe Aixia a lot of kindness], I don't think anyone would object to this, right? Provide food and accommodation, provide funds, guarantee of future positions... It is because of Aixia With Kesia here, we can now live in this era.”

This is indeed true.

Alexia frowned: "Miss Sakura, this matter..."

"You want to say [this is not worthy of thanks] again, right?" Sakura interrupted Ixia, "For you, this is indeed something not worth mentioning, and it may only be regarded as a small effort. But at least I I will never forget this kindness, and in addition to [allowing Ling and I to reunite] - you still have this kind of kindness to me."

Sakura said as she touched the Jizo Mithun pinned to her waist.

This God's Key, incarnated by her sister, is now registered as [Sakura] in Tianming's internal records, and the period of use is tentatively set to be indefinite.

This is equivalent to giving Ksitigarbha's soul to Sakura.

[After all, Hitamamaru is your sister, so instead of letting Jizo Yuhun be used and studied by others, it is better to give it to you]

Yesterday afternoon, before the party started, Exia said this, and then asked for official documents from Otto in front of Sakura.

"Repay your kindness. No matter what, I must repay you for these kindnesses."

"Then there's no need to donate blood to me." Alexia smiled and said, "Just cook me a meal. Miss Ying, your craftsmanship is definitely not bad. I have a hunch."

Sakura shook her head: "I will still feel sorry for myself - I once thought I had lost Ling forever, but you brought Ling back to me. To put it more exaggerated, this is tantamount to a life-saving grace for me. This is not a favor that can be repaid with just one meal.”

Alicia and others also nodded.

Indeed.

"Why are you agreeing like this?" Alexia raised her forehead, "So...Miss Sakura, you just want to repay your kindness by becoming my blood partner?"

"There was such a legend in my hometown - in ancient times, a scholar saved an injured fox. A few years later..."

"Oh, the story about a white fox that transformed into a human form to repay a favor?"

"you have heard?"

"So be it."

Alexia doesn't surf the Internet very much, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to surf the Internet. He does browse occasionally. He had read similar stories on the forum. The general content was that the fox demon turned into a woman, married the person who saved him, and took care of him throughout his life to repay his kindness.

This is probably what Sakura wanted to express.

"In Miss Sakura's opinion, is my kindness to you worthy of spending thousands or even tens of thousands of years in repaying it?"

"......Um."

After hesitating for a moment, Sakura nodded heavily: "But... well... it may be a bit bad to say this, but I don't have romantic feelings for you now, so... .Can feelings be cultivated later?”

"Puch..."

Hearing what Sakura said, Alicia couldn't help laughing: "Sakura, you can't say that~~~ I just said it, this is a major event in your life, how can you get married first and then To cultivate feelings? Of course, you must have love first, and then you can get married."

(No... maybe there really is.)

The two now civilized people, Ixia and Raven, turned their gazes at the same time. The two of them didn't know anything about the pre-civilization, but as far as modern civilization is concerned, for thousands of years, there have been countless examples of political marriages without any emotional basis. Even Exia and Anna almost had that kind of relationship.

Moreover, there are many political marriages in which the two parties have no affection at all from the beginning to the end. They are together purely for profit. Rather than being a husband and wife, they are partners promoted by interests.

"But, it's not that I can't understand Sakura's mood and thoughts. If you are determined like this, Sakura, I won't say anything else." After Alicia finished speaking, she looked at Alexia, 伾 "Then, Alexia, what's your reply? Our Sakura proposed to you like this. As a boy, you can't be perfunctory and not give a response~~~"

"..."

Alexia fell into silence.

Tens of seconds later, Alexia shook her head slightly and said frankly: "Miss Ying, I appreciate the kindness, but... I think it's a bit too much to do this just to repay a favor."

"Of course, I don't mean to refuse. It's just that our relationship is not very deep at this stage, is it? The time we have known each other and been together is only a few days, right? I have almost no in-depth understanding of you. You It's probably the same for me."

"I'm not in a hurry to master the beast. Even if I have to master it in order to deal with Kevin, there will still be a month. So...if after this month After getting along with each other and getting to know each other better, Miss Sakura, if you still want to do this, then I will be happy to accept your feelings."

"How about this arrangement?"

63.What kind of high-end cuisine is this?

The buffer period before marriage, or the cooling-off period.

This is what Alexia means.

Sakura thought for a while and then nodded: "Okay, I understand. But I think my thoughts will still be the same, Alexia. I will definitely repay this kindness - I will go outside to look for it. Gratius and Pardo.”

"Well, be careful on the road."

After watching Sakura leave home, Alexia put down her farewell hand and turned back to the bar: "Huh~~~Raven, give me a cup of oolong tea, it's flammable."

"Where can there be such a thing?"

The raven rolled his eyes at his captain and casually gave him a bottle of vodka: "However, I'm really lucky that you came up with such a method. I thought that since you fell in love with everyone you met, as long as the woman took the initiative, she would take the order. With your all-inclusive personality, you will directly agree to Sakura's request."

"I think so too." Alicia also said, "After all, in the Paradise of the Past, Alexia, you gave me the feeling that you would not resist if the woman took the initiative."

"Do you think I'm a little strange?"

Taking a sip of Raven's vodka, Ixia held up her chin: "From the results, it's almost true, but have you overlooked that the people who are related to me now are more or less related to me? Emotionally based and time based?"

Bianca and Alexia are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Rita only met Alexia after she became Bianca's personal maid. Although they were not childhood sweethearts, they had known each other for several years.

The same goes for Kiana, Raiden Mei and Bronya. They have all known each other since the third collapse, and it has been a year and a half now.

The same is true for Shatiao Love Song.

Even Anna, the two have met several times - although Anna's situation was prompted by many external factors, it is also true that the two have known each other for a long time.

"If Miss Ying and I have known each other for several months now, then I would definitely agree to it just now, and then I would sleep with Miss Ying tonight and do all the things I should and shouldn't do, so that she can directly We became an unmarried couple who are actually married to me." Aixia said bluntly, "But the time we have known each other is so short in total, right? What is the difference between this and a flash marriage? And the disadvantages of a flash marriage You don’t need me to say more, right? Among the ten flash marriages, there are probably eleven couples in which the couple quarreled and their relationship broke down, leading to eventual divorce.”

"Miss Sakura is here to repay my kindness to her. I won't continue to say [I don't think it matters] anymore, but if she can't be happy with me, then this is basically wronging her, right? To repay the kindness. That’s not how it was reported.”

Repaying a favor is an act of repaying the kindness of others while making oneself feel at ease because of the repayment of the kindness.

The purpose is to give yourself peace of mind.

"...It really surprised me."

Listening to Alexia's words, Alicia was deeply shocked: "Axia... Judging from the time here, you are not yet an adult, right? You are not yet an adult. Do you have such a mature concept?"

"After all, I have been thinking about marrying Bianca for a long time, so I have made all kinds of predictions and considerations - isn't this kind of thing a matter of course? Why are you so surprised?" Alexia finished. He took another sip of vodka.

(What kind of high-end cuisine is this...)

Raven couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She had been in the underground world before, and had seen too many men who could be called trash. They were like leftovers dumped in a trash can, to the extent that stray dogs wouldn't even touch them after seeing them. Compared to those guys, Aixia is like an expensive dish in a Michelin three-star restaurant with sky-high prices.

"So...Exia, you are serious about Sakura."

Eden, who was completely sober, spoke up: "I think I know why you are so attractive to women - you will treat those women who express their love to you seriously with 100% seriousness."

"After all, you are going to spend your whole life with me... No, it should be said that you are the one who will live with me forever in the future. You can't be careless, right?" Exia chuckled, "In the next few hundred years, we will be together forever." Thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years. I, the immortal, and my partners who are also immortal because of me, we have to accompany each other all the time, and we must take it seriously. "

"...That's right."

This kind of luck.

Whether you fall in love with Alexia or are liked by Alexia, once there is a feeling called liking between you and him, whether it is one-way or two-way, the existence of that feeling itself is lucky. Those who have that feeling are undoubtedly lucky.

Of course, the premise is a [serious] relationship.

Like those female students in Akaihai Academy who regard Alexia as their idol and prince, who pursue him like a fanatical fan and say they love him to death all day long, Alexia will only give the most basic response.

"Okay, let's put this kind of thing aside for now. I'll go upstairs to check on the master. If Rita and the others come back and have lunch ready, just call me."

After saying that, Alexia put down the half-drunk vodka and walked towards the stairs.

Watching Ixia's leaving figure, Eden shook the wine glass in his hand: "Ellie, Aponia, what do you think?"

"Oh~~~ He's really handsome." Alicia seemed to have just recovered from what she just said. "I didn't expect that Alexia could say such handsome words. I couldn't help but feel excited. What~~~"

"I... misunderstood him."

Apponia's voice was a little apologetic.

"He is not a person who indulges desires, and there is no need to repent... I need to apologize to him."

"The captain doesn't care about such trivial matters." The raven smiled, "Also, let me mention something unnecessary. If our captain really turns into a beast, then you, Aponya, are probably the best. A dangerous one. If you keep acting so weak in front of him, I think there’s a high chance that he won’t be able to bear it anymore.”

Can't help it?

Raven's words made Apponia couldn't help but look at herself: "I...is there anything strange?"

Alicia: "No, there is nothing strange about Apponia. The raven is just praising you in another way. After all, Apponia, you are really beautiful and charming."

"I see...Thank you, Miss Raven."

"..."

(Okay, I was just estimating just now, but now I am really sure.)

Raven sighed slightly.

She can guarantee that as long as Aponia lives in this home for enough time, maybe she will not kneel down only when praying.

64. Pain and happiness

After the Herrscher of Consciousness appeared in Fu Hua's body, about a week passed quickly.

During this week, the life Alexia lived could be described as both painful and happy.

Because of the agreement between Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Consciousness, he has an hour every day to spend time with the Herrscher of Consciousness - this matter itself is not a problem, as long as the Herrscher of Consciousness is a person who can interact with human beings. If she gets along well with the Herrscher, Alexia won't go against her. Fu Hua also said that she is still a child, and Alexia can definitely take care of her in all aspects.

But the problem is...

"Come, apprentice, ah~~~~"

It’s noon again.

On the dining table of Alexia’s house.

Because Fu Hua's education content seemed to have been successfully completed in the morning, now, according to the agreement, the Herrscher of Knowledge has the right to use Fu Hua's body once a day.

And now that she has the right to use her body, she directly crosses her legs and sits on Alexia's lap... No, it should be said that she directly wraps her legs around Alexia's waist, and He entangled them in another way, holding a chopstick of meat in his hand, and brought it to Ixia's mouth with a smile on his face.

"Uh...that...master."

Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge standing at a very close distance and trying to play feeding game with her despite Fu Hua's appearance, Alexia felt very tangled in her heart.

To be honest, [Fu Hua] was so happy to interact with him so intimately. Although he and others had done this kind of thing many times, including mouth-to-mouth feeding, the object was Fu Hua's words made Aixia inexplicably excited.

But...when she thought that what she saw in front of her now was not the real Fu Hua, but a Herrscher of Knowledge that was no different from a child who was born not long ago, Alexia couldn't open her mouth.

"Ah~~~~"

The Herrscher of Knowledge seemed not to notice Alexia's embarrassment. He still held up the chopsticks with a smile on his face, and at the same time clamped his legs tighter around Alexia's waist.

"...Aww."

Under the gazes of others at the table, Ixia bit the meat that the Herrscher of Knowledge handed to her.

The Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly beamed: "Okay! The feeding play is a success! Come on, good apprentice, let's continue. This time it's your turn to feed me. I want to eat the one called abalone!"

"...It's okay, but can you get off of me first, Master? It's very uncomfortable for me to move like this."

"Eh? But isn't this great? It saves space and deepens the contact and intimacy between us. Kill three birds with one stone! How convenient!"

"this......"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, feed me a piece of abalone quickly."

".....All right."

Once again, at a table of people, especially under the eyes of Rita and Anna, his two fiancées, and Alicia, a person who is always on the road to eating melons, Ixia took the Herrscher of Knowledge. With the chopsticks in her hand, she picked up a piece of abalone and brought it to her mouth.

The Lawr of Consciousness immediately opened his mouth.

However, just when she was about to eat the abalone——

"Ugh——!"
