Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

It was clearly just the first time we met, and we hadn’t been together for very long.

But the other party always gives people the feeling that they can open their hearts and talk.

Luo Ya didn't know what the girl was thinking. Alice's behavior might seem a little abrupt to others.

But Luo Ya is also a brother who has raised many younger sisters.

Although this was a bit unexpected for Luo Ya, he was able to accept it quickly.

Luoya had faced such a situation before, where Aixia suddenly became angry and started yelling about something, saying that Luoya was biased or something.

After asking, I found out that I had been staying with Mitsuri Kanroji and seldom talked to Aisha, ignoring her feelings. However, that day, Aisha had been actively trying to show herself, but my eyes were fixed on Mitsuri the whole time.

This incident also made Luo Ya feel both amused and helpless.

After that, Luo Ya's mind became more delicate, especially towards the little girl.

After all, he could never guess what was in the little girl's mind. All he needed to do was to follow her wishes.

"Brother Luoya, I want to hear a story, your story."

Alice was lying in Luoya's arms with some enjoyment. Luoya's technique of stroking her head was superb, which made Alice feel very enjoyable. Alice felt a little sleepy for the first time in a long time. There was a very pleasant smell on Luoya's body.

Chapter 290 Rapid Progress

Alice felt even more comfortable as the night breeze blew on her face.

Luo Ya also felt comfortable. The girl was like a docile cat. He felt the warm touch on his fingertips and her soft hair passed through his fingertips.

"A story? Mine?"

"Well, I want to hear about your story, big brother."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya began to speak slowly: "Well, there are some. In my world, there is actually a kind of existence similar to ghouls. They have a long history and powerful military force, but these are not without cost, and the biggest cost is that they need to eat human flesh and blood to satisfy their appetite."

"what?"

Alice let out a small exclamation, and the girl sat up from the boy, her face turning grim.

But after looking into Roya's calm eyes, Alice slowly lay down again.

"What happened next?" Alice asked with some concern on her face.

"Of course, they all died later." Luo Ya moved Alice upwards without any pause. The previous posture was a little uncomfortable.

"How did he die?" Alice followed Luo Ya's movements and leaned towards the boy.

"I killed him." Luo Ya remained calm, his tone did not change at all.

"All dead?" Alice demanded.

"All dead." Roya replied.

Alice sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

But instead there was confusion on his face.

“I haven’t heard of anything like this before.”

Alice did not say this out loud. She looked at Luo Ya, her pale golden eyes seemed very calm at this moment, but the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared without a trace at some point.

Noticing Alice's gaze, Luo Ya asked doubtfully, "Alice, are you still listening?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, then nodded, her expression becoming somewhat serious.

"They are called ghosts, and the strongest one is called the Ghost King. The Ghost King distributes his blood to ordinary humans. Some of those ordinary people are extremely talented, and those who can absorb the Ghost King's blood will gain special abilities, and those abilities are called blood ghost arts."

Roya paused and glanced at Alice. Seeing that she was listening attentively, Roya continued, "Of course, the Ghost King has the right to control the life and death of those ghosts. Among those controlled ghosts, the twelve strongest ghosts are called Upper String and Lower String. There are twelve people in total, and the Upper String is divided into six people, and the same is true for the Lower String."

Alice frowned slightly and said seriously, "In this case, wouldn't the other party be very difficult to deal with?"

Luo Ya shrugged and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Alice didn't continue talking, waiting for the boy to continue telling the next story.

"But these ghosts all have one thing in common, which is that they are very afraid of sunlight. The Ghost King is among them, but he wants to find a plant that exists in the legend and can make ghosts no longer afraid of sunlight."

"Ghosts eating people will naturally cause panic among the people in the town. At that time, the adventurers in the town were not very strong, so everyone worked together to fight against the ghosts and prevent them from coming out to eat people."

“This is probably the background of this incident.”

Luo Ya looked up at Alice. The girl still had a nervous look on her face. Luo Ya thought for a moment and comforted her softly, "There's no need to be nervous. This matter has been resolved. I have killed the Ghost King."

Alice nodded, a strange look in her eyes, and leaned on Roya's chest.

The boy's chest was very strong. The girl snuggled in Luoya's arms, with their two golden heads leaning against each other, looking surprisingly harmonious.

The night breeze brought a strong sense of autumn to the two of them. The gentle breeze blew their hair, and their golden hair swayed slightly in the evening breeze.

Luo Ya’s storytelling skills are average, but because it is his personal experience, his narration seems very real.

How to hunt ghosts, what special powers ghosts have, and why you should become a ghost.

Luoya told a lot of stories until the girl yawned sleepily and fell asleep in Luoya's arms.

Luo Ya's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Alice's quiet and delicate sleeping face and shook his head with a smile.

But this is not a place to sleep. Luoya shouted at the door, and the maid who had been standing at the door strode over. The maid looked at Alice in Luoya's arms, then looked at Luoya's calm face, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

"Your Highness really trusts you." The maid said with some emotion, gently picked up Alice from Luoya's arms and nodded slightly.

When Alice was taken over by the maid, her brows were slightly frowned, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.

The maid moved more gently, trying her best to avoid disturbing Alice's sleep.

"Well, I'll leave Alice to you. I'm going to rest now."

"Ah."

The conversation between the two ended here. Luo Ya stood up, stretched, and walked towards his room.

There was no conversation that night. After Luo Ya flipped through a book, he fell into a deep sleep. It was not until the next morning that Luo Ya opened his eyes and got up.

As usual, he brushed his teeth, washed up, wiped his wet cheeks with a towel, looked at himself in the glasses, tidied himself up a little, and then walked out of the room.

Royal came to the palace, of course not for tourism or vacation.

The capital is currently very short of manpower, because no one knows when the Demon King's army will attack the capital, and the attacks are more frequent than before. Therefore, more reservists are needed to go to the front line to fight against the Demon King's army.

The reserve forces are only a part of it, and the main force is actually the adventurers. The adventurers here do not only refer to adventurers born and raised in the royal capital, but also elite adventurers from various states and counties.

And Roya was the high-level adventurer recommended by that remote town.

Of course, Roja was one of the most powerful among these elite adventurers, and his record was the most brilliant.

The old president strongly recommended Luo Ya, and finally praised Luo Ya to the skies.

There were seven adventurers who finally entered the city, and only Roya stood out.

Alice only met Roya.

Then the following series of events happened.

The rapid development of his relationship with Alice was something Roya had never expected.

However, even though he has a very good relationship with Alice, who even treats him as a brother, Roya still has his own things to do during this trip to the capital.

Show your strength, and then assign Roja the task of fighting against the Demon King's army based on the strength he has shown.

Chapter 291 Exercise

Those who are strong will naturally do more work, while those who are weak can just be the backbone.

Now, all Roja needs to do is to show his strength.

The royal martial arts arena is an extremely spacious open space, covering an area of ​​about one thousand square meters. Of course, such a place is only a part of the royal palace and is not very large.

In the wide open space, a team of a hundred knights, fully equipped and wearing armor, were standing quietly on the ground.

Senhan's armor flashed with a cold metallic light under the sunlight.

This is the palace's private army. They eat the country's food, so it is normal that they are well-trained.

They were not wearing helmets. There were both men and women among them. Although their faces were different, their expressions were all equally serious.

The age difference is quite big. The older one looks like he is in his thirties, while the younger one is only in his early twenties.

Among them, Luo Ya saw a familiar figure.

Claire.

Her purple hair was too conspicuous, and she was standing relatively close to the front, so he noticed her at a glance.

Compared to the seriousness of the Knights, Roya was much more relaxed.

Dozens of adventurers gathered together, some were whispering in groups of three or five, two buddies were leaning against each other, whispering something, and a few adventurers were silent, not saying a word, staring blankly at everyone present.

The moment Roya walked into the square, everyone except the serious knights turned their eyes to him.

Then, a group of people gasped.

"hiss."

The boys stopped what they were doing and looked closely at the young man in front of them.

He has an upright posture, slender figure, gentle and elegant demeanor, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

The young man had handsome features, and although he had no expression on his face, his temperament was there, giving people the false impression that he was easy to talk to.

The young man had blond hair and golden eyes, and his eyes swept across everyone present. Although he had a gentle temperament, no one dared to look at the boy, and they all turned their eyes away.

Then, the typical female adventurer's eyes lit up and she was eager to try, while the male adventurer's eyes went dark and he secretly protected his beloved object behind him, fearing that the other party would come and steal her away.

At the same time, I am curious about the other person's identity.

Such a young and handsome young man, with dazzling golden hair.

Blond hair is quite rare in this world. You could say that people with golden hair are not necessarily nobles, but 90% of nobles have golden hair.

Moreover, looking at the other party's temperament, although he was dressed casually and did not wear clothes that symbolized nobility, temperament was something that could not be faked. The palace had seen many noble adventurers, and the young man's temperament was more aristocratic than those nobles.

The noise here fell into a brief silence, and the members of the knight team over there subconsciously glanced to the right.

What caught his eye was a handsome young man. The knight was slightly stunned, not recognizing who the young man was. But seeing the tense atmosphere around him and the other's dazzling blond hair, he thought for a moment, then suddenly straightened up, his expression became more serious, and he held his head high.

Oh, it’s just an inspection by the leader, simple, just get it done directly.

The knight was secretly proud of himself, and his companions around him noticed that something was wrong, and seeing the guy next to them suddenly working so hard, they also imitated him for a moment, holding their heads high and chests out, looking ready to go.

As for pretending, everyone can pretend, including knights.

Claire, who was standing in the front row, didn't react at first. Although she was Alice's personal guard, her rank was not that high. Although the Royal Guard Knight sounded nice and was the confidant of Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you really counted it, such a position did not have the status of a noble, nor the rights of a minister. If you really counted it, it was actually just slightly higher than the rank of a maid.

Claire looked over curiously, but saw the young man with a calm expression.

The morning light shone on Luo Ya's handsome face. The boy stood there, his light golden eyes sweeping over everyone.

There was only a calm and indifferent look in his eyes.

Claire was slightly stunned, and then seemed to realize something.

If it was the other person, it would seem to be a very normal thing to attract so much attention.

Of course, we are not gathering here to do nothing.

Soon, a middle-aged man in knight's uniform walked in from a distance. He glanced at everyone and quickly came to the top of the knights.

It was the appearance of this middle-aged man that caused everyone's attention to shift from Luo Ya to the middle-aged man.

Luo Ya thought that the other party seemed to be the leader.

As if to verify Roya's guess, the knight coughed slightly and glanced at the knights. His square face showed a few more smiles. Although he still had a stern expression, he looked quite satisfied.

The knight first scolded them with a stern face, then when he felt that it was enough, he coughed and praised everyone a little.

Everyone knows that being a leader is like this. You like to criticize others habitually and then praise them.

It's a typical case of giving a bad reward after hitting someone with a stick.

Although the routine is old, it is undeniable that it is very practical.
