I don't want to be a heroic spirit

A very gentle voice came into my ears, ethereal like an oriole singing in the valley. The key is the vitality contained in it, which always makes people cheer up easily.

A dark corner that no one cares about... Kazuma is here because of this.

But when Nero appeared here, it seemed that light was shining.

The darkness here seemed to be deeply afraid of Nero's brilliance.

"Nero?"

Kazuma was puzzled.

Wondering why Nero appeared here.

"You look very hungry. Do you need me to get you some food?" Nero asked very considerately: "After all, you don't look like you want to appear in front of everyone. If you like any delicious food, you can tell me. I just heard from Alice and Claire that a chef with a high cooking level has recently come. Some of the dishes in the venue are made by them. You can look forward to it."

Nero, who was particularly considerate and gentle, healed Kazuma's fragile heart in an instant.

Damn it, why is there such a perfect woman in this world... and Nero is not my teammate.

I really hope that those guys who don't have any loyalty can learn from Nero, what an excellent woman and an excellent friend should be like.

"Nero..."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"I think I like you, can you marry me?"

"I'm sorry, you are a good person..."

"No! Don't let me hear that too cruel and too realistic answer! The good guy card is really beyond my acceptance!!"

Because of Nero, the loneliness and loneliness accumulated in Kazuma's heart were also alleviated.

Just then, there was some movement not far away.

It was Darkness's side.

Darkness is really super popular. After all, in addition to her identity as a senior professional adventurer, she is also the daughter of the great noble Dustinis. Darkness's family and Claire's family are regarded as the shield and sword of the ancient kingdom of Belzer respectively.

For example, Kazuma is the captain, and Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness are all Kazuma's teammates, but those people call this team "Sir Dustiness's team", and Aqua and the others are also called "Sir Dustiness' teammates" by these people.

From the moment she entered the venue, the smile on Darkness's face seemed a little stiff... Maybe she couldn't handle the enthusiasm of those who surrounded her.

On the way to find Kazuma, Nero also heard those people asking Darkness if she had a marriage partner... It seems that Darkness is really popular.

Those who dare to pursue Darkness are all confident and handsome men. Even in Nero's eyes, they all meet the title of "handsome men".

Unfortunately, their brains don't seem to be very smart. They think they are expressing their feelings in a subtle way, but their purpose is all exposed in their burning eyes.

They can't see the embarrassment in Darkness's expression, and they keep offering empty and heartless sweet words.

Then, a man with bad words interrupted.

"In recent years, Lady Dustiness has made many great achievements in succession. Not long ago, she even defeated the Demon King's Army with Lord Nero. There should be someone more worthy of her... At least, none of you here are qualified."

Chapter 321 Kazuma is arrogant

"In recent years, Lady Dustiness has made many great achievements in succession. Not long ago, she even defeated the Demon King's Army with Lord Nero. There should be someone more worthy of her... At least, none of you here are qualified."

The person who made such a statement was a tall and fat middle-aged man with thick body hair but no hair on his head.

It can be said that his words offended all the suitors of Darkness present, and naturally attracted their angry glares.

For some reason, Nero did not have a good impression of the fat pig-like man.

Is it because she is a face party?

"Hey, Kazuma, who is that... um... fat man? Why does he seem to be very familiar with Darkness?"

"What do you mean by fat? Nero, why don't you just call him a fat pig?" Kazuma smacked his lips and said, "That man is Alderp, the lord of the Axel area... It's because of him that I have no hope for the nobles in this world."

In other words, that person's personality is super bad, right?

"Oh and... that fat pig seems to like Darkness very much, although I don't know what he likes about Darkness, maybe it's just her astringent body."

When Kazuma was explaining and introducing Nero, someone over there had already talked to Alderp unhappily.

"Alderp, you said there is someone more worthy of Sir Dustiness? Then I would like to ask, who is the one you are talking about? Are you talking about yourself?"

Most people should think so, right? And Kazuma also told Nero that Alderp likes Darkness very much.

However, Alderp showed a smile that was difficult to understand.

"Of course it's not me. After all, I'm no longer young. No matter how shameless I am, I can't pursue Lord Dustynis. Moreover, I know myself and am far from qualified to be Lord Dustynis's partner... By the way, Not my son either. Putting aside the past Lord Dustynis, there is probably only one man left who can match Lord Dustynis in terms of personal achievements in addition to his status."

Aldap's words surprised both Kazuma and Nero, while the suitors of Darkness were curious.

"Did that stupid pig like Aldap take the wrong medicine?" Kazuma, a young man of the new era, said without any respect for the nobles.

Just kidding, he is the number one person who adheres to the principle of balance for everyone. No matter whether the opponent is male or female, tall or short, handsome, ugly, commoner or noble, he can still punch the opponent in the face.

"A man who can match Darkness in terms of personal achievements..."

Kazuma frowned and then straightened his collar.

"Isn't that just talking about me?"

"How lacking in self-awareness do you have to say such a thing?"

Kazuma's overconfidence joke aside, it's hard for Aldap to keep showing off in the face of so many young talents.

"He is the first prince who is currently leading the king's regular army against the Demon King's army with His Majesty the King. His Highness Jadis. Logically speaking, Lord Dustynis should find a son-in-law, but there is a problem with the heir to the Dustynis family. , as long as the two of them have more children, the younger one will inherit the Dustynis family."

No one expected that Aldap would actually carry out His Royal Highness the First Prince, who was at the top of the country in terms of strength and status. Naturally, the others could only remain silent.

"Something's wrong, very wrong."

Kazuma touched his chin, stared at the proud and disgusting Aldap, and muttered: "As far as I know, that uncle should be extremely obsessed with Darkness... Himi A mouse who has eaten cheese still persists.”

"Hmm! Although Yu doesn't know that person very well, there is indeed something wrong with that person."

Nero nodded, his eyes as sharp as silver swords, sparkling with inquiry.

"That person... the look in his eyes that looked at Darkness just now was full of evil desire... That doesn't look like the look that someone who has given up should have."

Although he didn't have skills like [Intuition]... Nero still felt that the man named Aldap would do something.

In the near future.

After all, Aldap is completely unlike that kind of forbearing and powerful person. He has no patience or ability. Almost all his inner thoughts are written on his face... If he is really a villain, he will be more powerful than Nero once encountered. When Shiro Amakusa arrived, he was too far behind.

Thinking back to the beginning, she clearly had the advantage of understanding the plot, but she was still plotted against by Amakusa Shirou Tokisada... If she hadn't been strong enough, she might have been plotted to death by the other party.

"Sister Nero, Mr. Kazuma."

The voice was as soft as the feathers falling slowly from the sky. Alice, wearing a white dress, walked forward with a sweet smile and petite figure, as if she was a princess walking out of a fairy tale.

Speaking of which, the name Alice... sounds like it fits the image of a "fairy tale princess".

"Hmm! Alice is here... Instead of talking nonsense with those nobles, is it really okay to come here to find us? Even Claire is not with you."

"It's okay... Claire won't say anything if it's just for a little while."

With a bright smile, Alice came to Nero's side and followed Nero's example and leaned against the wall.

After blinking, Nero glanced at Claire, who was not far away.

Hmm...Claire is looking here, and she is almost biting her handkerchief in a hurry.

Then, Nero waved to her, making Claire's eyes redder.

"Ah, that Darkness guy, how dare he care about being popular there... It's really disgusting. Look at me messing up her affairs in the past, so that those people can recognize the true face of that guy and give up. She... really doesn't understand that guy. If she really doesn't like being pestered, wouldn't it be better to just refuse? "

Kazuma, who said this, stood up, waved his hand and walked towards Darkness, leaving this place to Alice and Nero.

After staring at Kazuma's back for a while, Nero then looked at Alice and said something that made Kazuma's feet slip.

"Hmm! Remember, Alice, what Kazuma did just now is called tsundere."

"Oh, I understand...Mr. Kazuma was being arrogant just now."

"That's... you're not arrogant! What kind of nonsense did you, Nero, teach Her Highness the Princess?!"

Chapter 322 Disposal of the Artifact Necklace

Leaning against the wall, Nero and Alice stood together.

Both of them cared about each other very much, but they didn't know how to open the topic, so they could only let the silence spread.

Looking slightly away, Nero discovered that Alice was no longer wearing the artifact necklace.

The necklace Alice is wearing now is...

"Is it the necklace I bought for you yesterday?"

Yesterday, I went shopping in the royal capital with Youyou, and I also bought an exquisite necklace for Youyou.

Of course, Nero did not favor one over the other and was partial to Youyou. She also chose a necklace for Alice and gave it to Alice when she saw her again.

Nero said with some surprise: "For such a grand occasion, I thought you would come wearing a more precious and exquisite necklace."

That necklace was not such a precious gift... At least in Nero's opinion, Alice deserved better.

However……

"No...there is no treasure more precious than this."

She raised her hand to cover the necklace and rubbed the gems inlaid on it with her fingers. Alice's pretty face was dyed red, and a bright smile like a flower slowly bloomed on her face.

After receiving the necklace as a gift from Nero last night, I would smile silly every time I saw it. Even when I was lying on the bed, I would always think of it and take it out to take a look at it from time to time... There is no need to let Nero do this. My sister knows.

Having made up her mind, Alice's tone also carried a will as firm as a rock.

"Sister Nero's gift... I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

"Hmm... I feel like I heard the same words not long ago, but a lifetime is a long time, much longer than you think."

Nero showed a rather troubled expression...but he couldn't hide the trace of doting in his eyes.

"So, what are you going to do with the necklace that can exchange bodies?"

"That..."

When the topic was brought up again, Alice also showed a distressed expression, because she and Claire had been dealing with the necklace issue these days.

"Sister, you have been saying that it is a very dangerous thing... However, I heard from Claire that the person who sent such an item to the royal family could not be found. Even if I searched the records, there was no clue. I asked about it. The answers received by the personnel were pretty much the same... I just remembered that this necklace was presented to the royal family by a certain noble, but no one could remember the specific noble. "

After a pause, Alice added: "Although sister, you said it would be best to destroy it directly...but it is something dedicated to my brother, and we do not have the right to destroy it directly."

"And...and...there shouldn't be any problem, right? The function of the necklace is just to temporarily allow two people to switch bodies. It should...not be dangerous enough to need to be destroyed, right?"

Alice's words made Nero's eyes flicker slightly.

Alice, who has always relied on her and always listened to Nero's decisions... actually went against her because of the necklace?

After glancing at the somewhat uneasy Alice, Nero spoke with a kind smile.

"Hmm! Alice, since you don't know what to do with that necklace...can you lend it to me for a few days? Don't worry, it's just for a few days and I'll return it to you."

"Huh? What does Sister Nero want with that necklace? But...if you just borrow it for a few days, there should be no problem. Claire...shouldn't refuse it, right?"

"Hmm! Alice is so good. She rubs her hair as a reward... Alice's hair is of great quality, like silk, and feels great."

As he spoke, Nero reached out and rubbed the top of Alice's head.

"Besides this, I have one more thing that I would like Alice to help me with..."

Bending down, Nero whispered something into Alice's ear.

Although she was a little confused about Nero's request, Alice nodded.

"Well...I don't know why Sister Nero is doing this, but I will try my best!"

"Hmm! She is indeed the sister that Yu recognizes. There is no doubt that this is love, right? Let Yu touch her head again. Yu is a little addicted to it."

The admired sister Nero touched her head tenderly, although she was a little embarrassed and shy... especially when there were so many people around.

But...it's really comfortable, so comfortable that people subconsciously squint their eyes and enjoy it.

…………

Axel, a seemingly inconspicuous magic item shop, suddenly heard a burst of angry scolding.

"You are a rare shop owner who possesses the rare skill of 'always taking in rubbish when purchasing goods'. Can you please explain what kind of rubbish you bought behind my back?"
