I don't want to be a heroic spirit

For Alice and Yoyo, today must be an unforgettable day.

"This is the first time I have seen a place where horses are kept. There are many horses inside."

"Elise, haven't you ever ridden a horse or been in a carriage?"

"No, because I either use teleportation magic, and even if I'm riding in a car, the ones pulling the cart are not horses but running lizards. In fact, I think these horses are cuter than running lizards, but Claire said running lizards can run faster. Some."

"The running lizard...isn't that a monster? Elise, your family actually uses a monster to pull a cart?"

After a day of getting along, the relationship between the two people was obviously very familiar.

It can be seen from the names that the two people began to address each other directly without adding the suffix "Miss".

"The skewers sold in that store just now were delicious. I would like to come again if I have the chance."

"Yeah, yeah! It's really delicious. The chewiness of the meat and the combination of seasonings are all in line with my taste... But when I asked the boss what kind of meat was used for the skewers, the boss looked mysterious. It's such a shame to say 'this is a secret'..."

"Yes, the boss is so mysterious, so maybe the key to delicious barbecue is the raw materials... If you know what kind of meat it is, maybe you can ask Sister Nero to make it."

"Huh? Can Miss Nero still cook?"

"Yeah! Sister Nero can do almost everything, including cooking. It's so perfect that it's hard to believe."

After recalling the whole day's experience, the two finally returned to the hotel.

The two separated temporarily and returned to their respective rooms.

When Alice opened the door, she found more than one figure inside.

"Your Highness Alice!"

The moment she saw Alice, Darkness was so excited that she almost cried. She rushed forward and hugged the stunned Alice in her arms.

"Lalatina? Is it Lalatina? Why is Lalatina here?"

Darkness's real name is actually Dustynis Ford Lalatina. She changed her name to Darkness because she didn't want her family to find out.

Kazuma and the others also complained that Darkness was obviously a devout cross knight, but she took an evil and dark name like Darkness.

Alice, who was held in Darkness's arms, cast a look of panic and questioning at Nero, and Nero gave her a look to signal her to relax, then stood up from the bed and walked over.

"You can say hello first, and I will release a sound-blocking barrier in this room, so that no matter what you say, no one outside can hear it."

"Can you still do such a thing?"

Darkness looked at Nero with either admiration or surprise, and then she saw the smile on Nero's face.

"Foolish question! As the emperor of Rome, what can I not do?"

After confirming that Alice was fine, Darkness relaxed and began to scold Alice.

"Your Highness Alice, you are really too willful this time. The capital is about to become a mess..."

Nero remembered that Darkness seemed to have taught Alice for a period of time. For example, the melee skills Alice showed were attributed to Darkness.

But Nero, who had seen Alice's battle with his own eyes, was very confused. Because Darkness' attacks basically never hit the enemy, why was the Alice taught so normal?

"Alice, you don't have to listen to everything Darkness said." Nero suddenly interrupted: "The person in front of you is actually more willful than you. Because he was dissatisfied with the marriage partner arranged by his family, he ran away and became an adventurer. , her family’s housekeeper has issued a missing persons request in Axel.”

"Miss Nero, please don't interrupt!" Darkness protested with a red face.

In response, Nero shrugged.

Alice looked at Darkness in surprise, "Lalatina, did you also run out with your family on your back?"

"No, Your Highness Alice, that's because..." Darkness wanted to explain something else, but after seeing Alice's eyes, she reluctantly admitted, "Yes, Your Highness Alice, the same is true for me. A willful person.”

"Because I was dissatisfied with the marriage partner arranged by my family, I ran away, became an adventurer, and found a partner who I could entrust my life to adventure with... It's like a story that only happens in a picture book." Alice's eyes widened. She looked radiant, with a hint of envy, "Lalatina... so brave."

"No...actually I haven't found a partner to go on adventures with yet."

Although Darkness and Chris are friends and the two of them always act together, they do not actually form an adventure team.

This is of course, after all, Chris' identity is so special. In Darkness's eyes, Chris is a thief with no fixed abode. But the truth is that Chris doesn't need a place to live at all. If he wants to rest, he can just go back to heaven. .

"Then! Do you want to join our team?"

What Nero and Darkness didn't expect was that Alice actually extended an invitation to Darkness.

"Darkness is a high-level professional cross knight, right? There are three people in our team now, and we can add one more. Darkness is so strong, she will definitely be of great help."

This is an invitation from Her Royal Highness the Princess, which must be an honor for a loyal minister like Darkness.

But Darkness was not very happy.

I ran away from home to let myself go! Wouldn't there be even less chance if I stayed with Her Royal Highness the Princess?

"That... Your Highness the Princess... that's right!" Darkness's eyes lit up and she thought of a suitable way to say it, "Claire has been looking for you, Your Highness, these days, and she looks quite haggard. Others I am also worried about you, so I hope that Your Highness, Princess, can return to the royal capital."

Darkness was right. Now that Alice has been found, she should be returned to the royal capital as quickly as possible.

Alice also knew this, but...

There was still some resistance in her eyes, and she looked at Nero aside as if asking for help.

Alice's performance was noticed by Darkness, which made her bit her lip nervously while being surprised. After thinking about it for a while, she spoke again.

"Claire is very angry. She thinks that your disappearance, Your Highness Alice, is entirely Miss Nero's fault. She wants to catch the thief and execute him directly..."

Darkness's words made Alice completely panic.

Chapter 277 Another moment of silence for the devil (29/31)

"How could this be? It's obviously all my willfulness and has nothing to do with Sister Nero."

"That's why we need to go back." Darkness looked directly into Alice's eyes and said calmly: "Go back to the capital and let Her Highness Alice tell Claire personally that this is not Miss Nero's fault. Only then can she Claire gives up her hatred of Miss Nero. This is only possible when Her Highness Alice returns."

Alice becomes confused.

Obviously I just made new friends, I had a lot of fun today, and my adventurous life has just begun.

Compared with the time she lived in the castle, these few days were more exciting than she imagined.

However, if it is for Sister Nero...

"I definitely have to go back, but it doesn't have to be now, right?"

The top of Alice's head was gently stroked. Such a simple action gave Alice a strong sense of peace of mind.

"Axel is great. There are many enthusiastic people, a lot of delicious food, and many interesting stories. There are obviously so many wonderful things. Why don't you leave in a hurry before you have seen enough? Do you think it’s too cruel for Alice?”

"but……"

Darkness still felt something was wrong.

Especially Alice's pleading eyes made Darkness sit on pins and needles.

"Your Highness Alice...please don't look at me like that..."

"What are you worried about? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not straightforward at all. When you have difficulty making a decision, it proves that the balance in your heart has tilted."

Darkness was very angry because she couldn't deny Nero's words.

Then, Nero walked up to Darkness.

"Listen to me, you confused man."

A confident smile appeared on Nero's lips, and his high-pitched voice carried an irresistible majesty.

"What stands before you! The flower of Rome's luxury! The rose that flies among the stars! The noblest man in heaven and on earth! Emperor Nero!"

"I appreciate your loyalty to your master, but I hate your contempt for me!"

"The place where my feet stand is the territory of Rome! The people here are the people of Rome! They are under my protection! Including the Lord to whom you are loyal!"

"Let Yu crush your unnecessary worries and swallow them into your stomach. Alice is the safest if she stays by Yu's side."

After looking at the confident Nero in front of him, and then at Alice, a thousand words finally turned into a sigh.

"Then... let His Highness go back in a few days."

Nero turned around and met Alice's eyes.

From Alice's eyes, Nero saw admiration, joy and emotion.

Darkness agreed to let Alice stay for a few more days, but these days must not be too long.

It only lasted about three to five days, but that was enough.

Good things always come to an end very quickly, whether you like it or not.

"Sonosuke, are you hungry? Do you want to eat dried fish? Or do you want to drink water first?"

As night falls, the streets are lit up with lights.

In the room, Nero was feeding Megumin's familiar, Chonosuke.

"Or do you want to take a shower first?...Don't be so vigilant. Just a joke. I know you hate taking a shower, so stay away from the window! Don't run away."

On the bed, Alice and Youyou were playing chess.

It's a bit like the chess that Nero is familiar with, but the chess pieces on the chessboard are not rooks, bishops, and cannons, but swordsmen, adventurers, magicians, and other professions that exist in this world. Nero guessed that they should be aliens who know the rules of chess. People from the world traveled to this world and combined the rules of chess with local culture to create this game.

Nero had seen Megumin and Yunyun play this game before, but Megumin shouted "Explosion!" and blew up the entire chessboard, and ran away saying "I won."

Nero originally thought that Megumin was talking nonsense out of anger, but later she learned that this board game actually had this rule, and she could use explosion magic to kill all enemies, but it could only be used once a day.

Youyou wanted to continue playing with Huihui later, because Huihui had already used the explosion magic today, so if it came again, Youyou was confident that she could win, but Huihui ran away after winning, not giving Youyou any chance.

"Okay! I changed the adventurer in my hand to a high-level magician, and then used the sword of light... I won!"

"Huh? I... I lost..."

Youyou jumped up excitedly, and even her two plump lumps shook because of her too violent movements.

In contrast, Alice showed an annoyed expression.

Then, Alice was attracted by the movement over Nero's side, and turned around to see Nero came to the window sill and brought back a black cat with small wings.

"Chimusuke is so close to Miss Nero." Youyou said with envy: "That's great... When I wanted to touch Chimusuke's head, it slapped my hand away... Is Miss Nero very good at dealing with small animals?"

"But it seems that even Sister Nero can't make Chimusuke take a bath obediently."

There was movement outside the room, and then the door was pushed open, and Huihui, who supported her body with a staff and looked tired, appeared at the door.

"I'm back..."

"Welcome back, Huihui, did you find teammates today?"

Today's Huihui is a little different.

Although she still looks weak and even has difficulty walking, which is a normal phenomenon after the explosion magic is exhausted, but today's Huihui seems to be particularly excited and excited.

It feels quite appropriate to describe Huihui now as dancing with joy.

That's why Youyou thinks Huihui has found teammates. Although it's a bit unbelievable, it can explain the current situation.

However...

"No!"

An unexpected but reasonable answer.

"Then why are you so happy! I thought the biggest problem child in the Crimson Devil Village finally had someone who could accept her and was as weird as her..."

"Hey! Tell me clearly! Who is the biggest problem child in the Crimson Devil Village? I'm all ears!"

In fact, not only Yunyun, but Alice and Nero were also curious about what good thing Huihui had encountered.

"Hehehe! Don't be shocked after hearing this."

Huihui's expression was extremely proud. She wanted to pose in a handsome way, but she found that it was difficult for her to just stand, so she had no choice but to give up posing and took out her adventurer card from her clothes.

"From today! Please call me Demon Slayer No. 1 Explosion Magician Huihui! I solved a super-powerful demon in a super-cool way!"

After Huihui's explanation, Nero learned that when Huihui was looking for the target of today's one-day explosion, she met a demon with one wing missing and wounded all over her body.

Because she thought it would be super cool to claim that she had "killed a high-level demon alone" in front of others, Huihui directly used explosion magic to kill the demon.

The demon also gave Huihui a lot of experience points, which helped her level up a lot.

Looking at Huihui showing off her achievements in front of Alice and Youyou with an adventurer card, Nero suddenly felt that the demon named Host was so pitiful...
