The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"Um?"

"I have trusted many people, Exia. I know that I am not a leader, and I have no personal opinions, so in order to better fight against Honkai, I chose to obey orders and leave the thinking activities to more intelligent people. People... I believed in Dr. May and Kevin in Fire Chaser, and I believed in Otto five hundred years ago."

Fu Hua believed in them because he felt that they were people who could better fight against Honkai. Carry out their instructions regardless of the reason or consequences.

And now...

"I can't have pure love for you, Alexia." Fu Hua said sincerely, "I still have the mission to fight against Honkai. Before completing this mission, I... don't I think I should consider my own happiness and love life first. So I can’t treat you as a lover and partner right now.”

"I...maybe I can only regard you as my guide. Just like Kevin before, now, I think I can only go so far."

Alexia's power has surpassed Kevin's.

He is the one who has more hope of crossing the end than Kevin. In this case, Fu Hua is happy to follow him. But this following does not carry a strong love, it is just...

"That means, if I can defeat the end, master, will you be willing to marry me?"

"Well...if you have to say it, you can indeed think so."

Fu Hua admitted this statement.

If Exia really did what they had failed to do, then as a reward for the savior hero and as a reward for his best disciple, Fu Hua had no reason to continue to refuse.

"Okay, I understand. Then, about the marriage between you and me, master, let's wait until we cross the end together."

Instead of continuing to dwell on this matter, Exia took a step back and said this very considerately.

He likes it, but Fu Hua is a senior he respects very much, and Alexia doesn't want to force her. Although if he really forced it, Fu Hua would most likely accept it, but as the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet.

It's not like he was so pressed for time that he couldn't wait any longer.

Therefore, you might as well wait a little longer, as there will only be two or three years before the final arrival.

"...Thank you, Alexia." Seeing that Alexia was so easy to talk to, Fu Hua also breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. I did this... I guess I let you down." ?”

"To a certain extent, but not to the point of disappointment. It should be said that it is unexpected and reasonable." Alexia smiled and said, "Why, master, do you want to give me some compensation?"

"If you want."

Turning his reddish cheeks away, Fu Hua lowered his voice and spoke.

Now that his room was blocked by Kiana using space power, and everyone else in the family was also assisting, Fu Hua knew that he had nowhere to go except Alexia tonight. And now that he is here, Fu Hua will feel a little guilty if he really lets Alexia do nothing to him all night.

He should be looking forward to his answer, but he can only give this response... Therefore, if Aixia wants some compensation, Fu Hua is willing.

"That......"

Reaching out her hand and turning Fu Hua's face away, Alexia lowered her head slightly and kissed Fu Hua quickly on the lips.

He wouldn't say "It's not necessary" or "It doesn't matter" at this time.

This was delivered to Fu Hua himself, and he had no reason not to accept this [goodwill].

The touch on his lips made Fu Hua's cheeks blush even more.

"Master, your face is very red."

"...You didn't do it? Is this enough to compensate?"

"of course not."

Suddenly stood up, pressed Fu Hua's shoulders and pushed her onto the bed. Alexia put his hands on both sides of her cheeks, pressed on her and looked down at her: "I will hold her all night, and then I will You can’t refuse a kiss even if you want to – this is the compensation I want.”

"...Okay, okay. I understand."

It was a compensation that sounded a little blushing and heart-pounding, but from Fu Hua's point of view, it was still acceptable - I had been sucked blood like that before, but now it was just a kiss and a hug, it really didn't matter.

"Then I'm welcome, Master."

"Um...um————!"

11. Dress up

So, time suddenly came to [three days later] when the party Alicia mentioned earlier would start.

During these three days, perhaps because Bianca and the others had secretly reached some agreement before that night, Alexia was almost driven to stay with Fu Hua.

During the day, when Fu Hua was giving lessons to Kiana and Anna, the two of them asked Aixia to be their sparring partner. It can be said that as a sparring partner, both Kiana and Anna were learning from Li Sushang. On the contrary, Kexia and Fu Hua were "left out", and as a result, they could only be alone.

There is nothing that Alexia doesn't like in this situation. It may be a bit scumbag to say so, but if she wants to have close contact with the girls at home, then Alexia is a million times willing.

For example, if someone in the family is drunk and wants a hug, Alexia will be happy to use it as a human body pillow.

The situation at night is similar. Bianca has been particularly fond of sleeping with Rita in the past few days, and Kiana seems to have forgotten that she still locked Fu Hua's room. As a result, Fu Hua had no choice but to sleep with Alexia when no one wanted to sleep with him.

If he hadn't known that others were deliberately creating time for him to be alone with Alexia, Fu Hua would have mistakenly thought that he was being squeezed out.

Thanks to this gift, Alexia has been able to hold her master to sleep every night for the past three days. She feels much more refreshed, as if the fatigue from a week of continuous fighting has been completely cleared away. .

Of course, apart from kissing, hugging and holding hands, Alexia didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Even when the Herrscher of Knowledge came out for activities, facing her being a little too enthusiastic, Alexia It was rare for him to hold on to his own defense line. He was so determined that the Herrscher of Knowledge almost doubted whether he could do it.

——Then the Herrscher of Knowledge was forcibly dragged back by Fu Hua, and he thought about it in front of the wall of the small black room.

Generally speaking, it can be said that Alexia has been content with Fu Hua in the past few days. If there is any [Fu Hua energy] in the world, then Alexia has directly replenished it from zero to 100% in one breath. one thousand! Everything was completely overflowing!

And Fu Hua has become less and less resistant to Aixia's various behaviors in the past few days. Like a kiss, she would resist it at first, but these days, she doesn't even need to pretend.

I have to say that habits are really scary.

Time came to the last day of 2015 when the two of them got along like a young couple in love.

————————————

vienna.

A suburban villa area some distance from the city.

Driving a luxury car that was assigned to his name by Bishop Otto more than half a year ago but has never been driven much, the Exia family came to Tianming and spent huge sums of money, and the World Snake also funded the process. Quite a few, in front of the golden courtyard of the villa that was completed in just one month.

By the way, because Alexia didn't have a driver's license, she was not the one driving, but Miss Raven. After all, she and Rita were the only ones in the family who had driver's licenses, and no one else had taken the test.

Although not many people need a driver's license.

"Is this the Golden Garden?"

Getting off the passenger seat, Alexia looked at the large villa in front of him - unlike his large villa that could be said to be a castle with its own large courtyard, the scale of the golden courtyard was not that big. It should be on the third or fourth floor.

Considering that the only people who usually live here for a long time are Alicia, Eden, Aponia, Sakura, Gratio and Padofyllis, and Alicia, Eden and Sakura have to go out frequently. As for the task, Padofelis also has to take care of the warehouse. In fact, it should be a little empty most of the time, right?

(By the way, has Aponya found a job? She can’t take Gratius with her at home. Being a full-time housewife is her [job], right?)

Alexia thought about the scene in her mind for a moment - huh? Why do you seem to still be feeling it?

Originally, in addition to the sense of holiness and transcendent divinity of a nun, Aponia also had a strong sense of motherhood. If she really started to be a single mother, it would be too much.

"Ah, you're here, you're so early~~~"

Just as Alexia was thinking this, the door to the Golden Courtyard opened, and Alicia walked out with a smile and greeted several people.

only--

"Why a maid outfit?" Bianca asked curiously, while looking at Rita who was wearing casual clothes next to her.

Yes, Alicia is not wearing the kind of daily casual clothes now. Instead, she has put on a very cute maid outfit. At first glance, you can tell that it has been modified. It has a lot of fluffy lace and the skirt is straight. Cut to the point of a short skirt, and paired with white stockings with suspenders covering her legs, that absolute realm immediately attracted everyone's attention - not just Alexia's.

Lifting up the hem of her skirt and spinning it around, Alicia smiled and said, "How about it? Is it suitable? I look good in this, right?"

"You look good, I think you look good no matter what you wear, but why do you suddenly want to wear a maid outfit?"

"Because this is the tradition of Fire Chasing Moth~~~" Alicia explained, "In the past, when a new member of Fire Chasing Moth joined, they would hold a welcome party for the newcomers. And I would change the pattern every time. Participate, different clothes will bring different surprises to people, right?"

"So...your surprise is the maid outfit?"

"Yeah! It's the dress I wear the most. I asked Eden to make it. Eden may have done it~~~ I can design any style of dress. This maid outfit is different from the one I remember. Exactly the same~~~”

It can be seen that Alicia really likes this outfit.

"However, we have an important party to attend today. Why are you all wearing so ordinary clothes?"

"What? Ordinary?"

Alexia and others quickly looked at their clothes - well, except for Rita, who was wearing an elegant dark dress, the others were indeed dressed a bit casually. After all, it was just a party, not an important dance, and no one wanted to dress particularly formally.

"Fortunately, I had expected it! Come on, come on, everyone, come in quickly. I have asked Eden to help everyone prepare their dresses~~~ Anyway, there is still some time before the party starts, so let us dress up. Fan it!"

"After all, this is the most important thing before the party starts!"

As Alicia said this, she incredibly pushed everyone into the house.

12. Dialogue in the boys’ group

After a while, in a room on the second floor of the Golden Courtyard.

"The boys' changing room is right here. Come out early after changing your clothes~~~~"

Following Alicia's words, Alexia was pushed directly into this room.

Glancing at the door that was closed behind her and with a sign on it saying "Those who are not handsome and well-dressed are not allowed to come out", Alexia sighed helplessly.

His exchange with Alicia like this was actually more than a month ago, if you don't count the time when he just woke up. However, due to the battle with Kevin and the subsequent sleeping, his somatosensory time It will take longer.

So much so that he had somewhat forgotten that Alicia was such a lively, cheerful and enthusiastic and proactive girl.

"She really hasn't changed at all...ha, but a month can't really change anything, right?"

"After all, that's Alicia."

A gentle voice came from behind Exia.

Turning back to look inside the room, Alexia realized that there were two people in the room besides herself.

"I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing? Exia."

"Well, it's okay. Anyway, I've recovered after sleeping for a few days, Mr. Su." Alexia smiled and said to Su, who was sitting on the coffee table by the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, "Mr. Su was also invited as expected. Here you go, has Qianjie Yicheng handled the matter properly?"

"That's right. I can't refuse Alicia's invitation. Moreover, this is our reunion after tens of thousands of years, so I have no reason to refuse."

"I guess so."

Alexia looked at the other person: "Mr. Kevin has been missing for more than a week. Is his health okay?"

Kevin, who was sitting on the bed and flipping through a book in his hand, raised his head when he heard the sound: "Well, it's okay. After removing the power of the Black Abyss White Flower, he recovered quickly with the power of the Garuda Factor."

Because Exia's last blow was released by the Black Abyss White Flower, it was an incurable fatal injury in a sense, directly opening a large hole in Kevin's chest. Even though Axia knew that Kevin probably wouldn't die, he couldn't think of a way for Kevin to recover.

"I didn't expect World Snake to have such technology."

"The World Snake has held the Black Abyss White Flower for a long time, so it naturally has a way to deal with its influence. This is not surprising."

"Too."

Alexia smiled, and then moved her gaze downward - to be precise, she looked at the back of Kevin's hand, where Alexia could clearly see a bright red pattern consisting of three strokes. , like a burning sword.

That's not an unfamiliar pattern to Exia, it's just...

"Mr. Kevin, that pattern on the back of your hand... is a command spell, right?"

"That's right."

Kevin nodded.

"I think you should already know that I finally made the decision to bring Mei back to life in the world bubble. After returning to Earth with you and dealing with the Stigma Project, I took Vivi with me Mebius and I went to the moon again through the Star Gate, and used the modified [Psimulated Heroic Spirit Transformation Device], allowing Mei to leave that world bubble in the form of a [Psimulated Heroic Spirit]."

"As the medium that maintains Mei's existence, I became Mei's master."

I see.

It looks like an improved version of the Heroic Spirit Transformation Device. Shouldn't it be said that it is the almighty Velvet? Even this kind of black technology level thing can be produced. If it weren't for the fact that Ixia had handed over all the information about the Holy Annihilation to Bishop Otto, Ixia felt that Velvet even had a way to artificially recreate the Holy Annihilation.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Alexia frowned.

"If I remember correctly, signing a contract requires... mucous membrane contact, right?"

During the previous transformation in the Paradise of the Past, since there was no need for a long-term contract, the heroes who became heroic spirits only needed to maintain their existence for a few seconds, so Exia did not sign a contract with anyone - except for Will. Wei. Of course, this contract was also terminated after Velvet became a human.

But since Kevin still has the Command Seal in his hand, it means that he is still providing Dr. Mei with physical power, and if he wants to form a contract, he must——

"Haha~~~ Alexia, Kevin and Mei are now [roommates] in the same dormitory - so you should understand, right?"

When Su said this, Alexia immediately understood in a second, and looked at Kevin with a bit of teasing in her eyes: "Should I say congratulations?"

"...I want to say thank you to you."
