A super traveler in a peaceful world

An Luo understood her emotions very well. After all, this princess who was always in the palace had no friends, let alone going to school.

In this world, except for magic, the civilization is roughly equivalent to that of the Middle Ages. Except for the Red Devils with high intelligence and unique culture, there is no so-called school. The teaching of the nobles is undertaken by one-on-one tutors. From an educational point of view, , the world seemed even more backward than the Middle Ages he knew.

Since no one disturbed them, the two of them chatted and chatted. It was not until night fell and the dinner was about to begin that someone knocked on the door.

This made Alice's face show explicit regret, but she still wisely stopped the topic, and An Luo followed her to the dinner venue with the attendant at the door and two female guards.

However, although it was a dinner party, the only people actually attending were An Luo and Alice. Of course, it was originally scheduled to be An Luo and the king, but now Her Royal Highness the Princess has replaced the king who is on another expedition.

This is a dinner prepared for the king, and the specifications are naturally very high. They use very high-end and delicious monster meat. After eating it, you can gain a lot of experience. Needless to say, the food is cooked by the top chefs in the kingdom.

Her Highness the Princess, who ate according to elegant etiquette, seemed to have completely given up her previous curiosity. Because of her position, her tone became unfamiliar again. After saying a series of very official greetings, she finally got to the point.

Mr. Anluo, on behalf of my father, I welcome you to the kingdom, and sincerely invite you to the kingdom's knights to fight to defeat the devil. The kingdom will never let down any talent. I believe you also know that in addition to gold and silver, In addition to the necessities of treasure, this country has also had a custom since ancient times... The brave man who defeats the Demon King can receive a special reward.

No, I'm not sure about that. What kind of artifact does the special reward refer to?

You are joking. Alice put her hand on her chest with an unworldly sweet smile, hiding the helplessness and bitterness in her heart: It's the princess.

Oh? Do you have a sister?

I am the first princess, and my only sibling is an older brother.

...This reward is really special, well, all things considered.

It is true that 12 years old could get married in the Middle Ages, but from An Luo's point of view... the immature girl opposite was still just an overly immature child and could not be considered a woman in his opinion.

But such a child proposed to use himself as a reward, which made him couldn't help but ask curiously: What do you think, are you willing to accept someone you have never met as your husband?

Your question is really strange. Do you question why the raindrops from the sky fall on you?

Yeah~ I will hold an umbrella to prevent the raindrops from falling on me.

...You can hold the umbrella, but I can't...My father is personally leading the knights, as well as the reserve braves from Japan and the elites of the Red Demon clan, and are at the forefront to fight against the Demon King's army. As a princess, I naturally have to fulfill my responsibilities.

As soon as Alice finished speaking, the noisy bell suddenly broke the silence of the Noble Restaurant.

The moment they heard the bell, the two princess guards immediately ran out of the room. After a while, the occasional broadcast in Axel, the novice city, quickly came from the direction of the city. .

——Demon King's Army Attack Warning! Demon King's Army Attack Warning! Knights, please attack immediately! In order to maintain the security of the royal capital, all adventurers are requested to be on guard and prevent monsters from entering the town!

...Although the battle was going well at the beginning, an evil god recently joined the Demon King's army and attacked us with explosive magic all day long, causing the front lines to retreat again and again. Even though the capital is not the front line, it is now I get attacked from time to time... Now is not the time to think about my personal thoughts.

Alice lowered her head and murmured in a low voice, and finally raised her head again, showing a weak and lonely smile: So, Mr. Anluo, if you are really a brave man, please become a real brave man and save this world and my country. In this way, I will dedicate everything I have to you.

——Okay, leave it to me! An Luo responded without hesitation, but before Alice's face could light up, he suddenly changed the topic and helplessly spread his hands: Do you think I would say that?

Huh? B-but, those brave men from Japan, when my father said that, they were...

Don't think of me as a lolita control, okay? And don't think of me as one of those middle-aged and dead otakus who are thrown around by mentally retarded goddesses and coaxed by others, and then follow people around.

Huh? Aren't you a lolicon?

Although it was the first time to recruit a hero, it failed the first time and the hero was different from what Darkness said. Alice couldn't hide the surprise on her face.

This surprise left An Luo speechless. He didn't understand why he was regarded as a lolita by the loli he met for the first time. Could it be that he had lolita written all over his face?

Of course not! You know what? What I personally dislike most are stories about heroes.

W-why? Aren't heroic stories bad?

Because in heroic stories, when the heroine, who is a beautiful woman, pleads with tears, the brave man will take up arms and stand up and try to become a hero...or he will try to become a hero after being awkward for a while. , right?

Isn't that... bad?

Of course what you can see is good, but in battles, the winner will survive, and the loser will die; because it is a story, the warrior will gain victory, reward, fame, and a lover, but in reality Most of the time, the result is the opposite. The soldier is found dead in the wilderness, and what happens to the beautiful woman who asked him to fight before?

How, how about it? Alice, who was completely attracted by his words, leaned forward and approached him, swallowed nervously uncontrollably, and asked tentatively: Are you crying sadly for the death of the soldier? A sad story about being alone all your life?

How is it possible? The request at the beginning of this kind of story must be very important, right? Since it is so important, it is impossible to give up just because one person dies. You must continue to ask the next person in order to achieve that wish until you succeed. So far... and after success, shaping the last person into a good story becomes a story. The story of the last person is the heroic story you hear. As for the previous person or group of people, they are not only hidden from people If you forget, they will end up rotting on the roadside and being eaten by wild dogs.

...It's too much. After listening to An Luo's description, Princess Guan, who understood that she was now the heroine, couldn't help but lowered her eyes apologetically: I'm sorry...

Don't apologize in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet.

Huh? There's more?

That's how the heroines in heroic stories are. They rely on their beauty to win over, but they are stupid people who easily give up their lives just for the reward that will be paid after the deed is accomplished. The stupidity of these people is not worthy of sympathy. So you don’t actually need to care too much, they’re just idiots anyway.”

...Mr. An Luo, the heroine of the story is too much, and your statement is also too much! She still felt sorry for An Luo, but Alice, who was feeling painful and ashamed inside, couldn't help but glare at him with tears in her eyes. , but An Luo just shrugged nonchalantly, and continued: The lives of the soldiers in the story are very worthless, but that's just because they are too stupid, and I am not stupid, and I don't need to do anything after it is done. I will definitely pay the reward, and I don’t even know if I am alive or not, so I want the cash!”

Ready, ready? What do you want to do? Hearing what he said, Alice instantly became vigilant, subconsciously holding the gorgeously decorated Western sword she carried with her, and warned: Although I am still young, I am still young. As one of the royal families who have accepted the blood of brave men from generation to generation and consolidated their abilities, please don’t do anything stupid!”

...Why are you excited? I'm not asking you for anything now. Don't get me wrong, okay? What I want is compensation that is comparable and equivalent.

In contrast...? How can I believe that you have the ability to defeat the Demon King?

My profession is to be a brave man. Isn't it destiny to defeat the Demon King? Why should I doubt it? And not long after I became an adventurer, I was able to slay dragons and defeat the Demon King's army cadres. It's not surprising that I defeated the Demon King after a while. ?”

.......this is for you.

Alice, who understood that her father did think so, took a deep breath after hesitating for a long time, and finally made up her mind to take off the ring from her hand and handed it over.

Sure enough, you are a child who can reason things out and understand right and wrong!

Facing this unworldly and easily deceived princess, he tricked her into handing her something. She seemed to treasure the ring, which was obviously a good thing. An Luo naturally accepted it happily and asked casually: This must be something very powerful, right? A magic item? Is it a national treasure of this country? Does it have any functions?

This is indeed a national treasure. As for the function, please wait...

Alice nodded hesitantly, then walked out of the hall and spoke to the guard outside. Then the guard brought a box of high-value items that the king had prepared to use to win over An Luo, as well as ten bottles, each bottle A skill-enhancing potion worth 10 million.

Then a group of nobles arrived. Before An Luo could wonder what was going on, Alice pointed to the ring in his hand that was being played with and announced:

Please come here to bear witness. I have delivered the ring to Mr. An Luo. From now on, I will only recognize Mr. An Luo! I swear in the name of Belzegu. This is the first time I ask someone to defeat the Demon King. , and for the last time, if Mr. Anluo unfortunately dies in the process of defeating the Demon King, then I will remain a widow for the rest of my life and sacrifice my own life to repay Mr. Anluo's life.

Your Highness, Your Highness? You...

Do you actually have such high hopes for this brave man?

Although he is indeed an unprecedented brave man, is it a little too early?

...Kill, kill you! I'm going to kill you...!

Among the exclamations of a group of nobles, the voice of Kureya, one of the princess guards who had returned, stared at An Luo with blood-filled eyes.

...Who can tell me...what is going on?

The princess's shocking declaration made An Luo stop playing with the ring and glanced at the surrounding nobles in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

It wasn't until... after the nobles all went up that he learned from the two princess guards that he seemed to have accidentally shot himself in the foot.

The ring given by Alice is a national treasure that she has always treasured and never leaves.

The ring itself is a very powerful magic item, so it can be regarded as a national treasure for the princess to carry close to her body. Although no one remembers its purpose now, the symbolic meaning is very obvious.

This ring, which the royal family has carried close to their body since they were children, is only taken off when entering into a marriage contract according to regulations, and is only given to a lifelong partner.

After understanding all this, An Luo, who originally just wanted to get some good things from this innocent and pure girl who was the highest-ranking girl in the royal city, and had no intention of charging into battle against the Demon King's army, felt that he had been cheated. If you take something that cannot be eaten or drunk, cannot be used as a weapon, and its purpose is unclear, it will be subject to intensive supervision by the country.

An Luo, who couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, couldn't help holding the ring and asked: ...Princess, what do you want to do with this thing for me?

Isn't this your request? This way you can rest assured that you are the only one and will not be used as cannon fodder, right?... You are right, I don't want to be the one who squanders other people's lives like in the story Heroine, but I cannot pay myself directly, only in this way can I be sure that I will be yours.”

No, no, no, I think you may have misunderstood me. The equivalent reward I want is just gold and silver treasures, or rare artifacts and magic items. You don't need to betray yourself like this. By the way, I Didn’t I say that I’m not a lolita fan? Why do you want to...

You are not a lolicon, who is a lolicon?! Sir Dustynis (Darkness) warned us before Her Highness Alice met you alone! You are completely famous in Axel City. Lolicon! What I like the most is girls like Alice! Stop playing hard-to-get tricks!

Kureya, who couldn't bear the princess being robbed, gritted her teeth and revealed the information that made An Luo almost want to bang his head against the wall.

He was quite surprised that Darkness didn't show up at first, but now he realized that he had already told these things.

This made him want to teleport back immediately, roast the rabbit meat that should have been marinated, and forcefully stuff it into the goddess who likes to throw dirty water on others. It would also be harmful to him to be misunderstood here, causing him to fall short. Darkness's mouth, to see whether she is perverted enough or her food is more perverted.

If it weren't for these guys causing trouble, he thought that his tactic of cheating some money and running away might be successful, but who knew that Alice didn't think what he wanted, and actually chose to bind him with her own life.

Of course, considering the general situation, there is nothing wrong with this. In other words, Alice is very smart and only gave a deposit and uniqueness when he asked for full payment to eliminate his concerns. The princess bound a hero and obtained a hero with infinite possibilities to serve the kingdom. This seemed to be a good thing from the kingdom's point of view, but... this was not what he wanted at all.

...You have all been deceived. I am not a lolita fan. If you don't believe me, you can bring me the lie detector magic tool. This is not the kind of ring I want...

Looking at the ring in his hand, An Luo, who was about to cry without tears, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, feeling headache because things were not progressing as expected.

Don't take advantage of her and behave yourself! Your Highness, Alice, is willing to condescend! And what's your attitude?! The princess she longed to monopolize was taken over by someone else, and Kureya almost couldn't control herself and ran away.

Kureya! Don't be rude to Mr. Anluo! Father wants to believe that he can save the kingdom! Of course I am willing too, but it's just a matter of sooner or later. Why do you care so much?

But, but! This guy...!

Hey, Lei Yin, take her out.

Knowing that Kureya had lost her mind at this time, Alice could only sigh and let another guard take her away from the scene, leaving An Luo and her alone in the living room.

After holding his head and being depressed for a long time, An Luo said cautiously: Princess, although what I said may not be very good at first, this ring...can I return it?

No. Alice gave the answer categorically without even thinking: If few people knew that you got my ring, it would be nothing, but there are already so many people as witnesses, and it doesn't matter now. I think it’s impossible to say that.”

That's right...

The oath was sworn just to make him, but if the oath could be overturned so easily, it would be meaningless. His question was just a final struggle.

However, his troubled look convinced Alice that he must have really been wronged. His daring to take a polygraph test also meant that the information Darkness gave her was wrong.

This also made her understand that the reward she gave may not be in line with his expectations. While she was relieved that her fiancé who had just met did not have strange thoughts about her, she also walked up to him with apologies. He lowered his head and said:

...I'm sorry, I didn't expect that Lalatina would give wrong information...Although there is no way to regret it, can you tell me what you actually want? If I personally If I can, I will try my best to compensate.

This... Facing the young girl who looked up to him with pitiful eyes even though she looked guilty, it was really difficult to blackmail the child who was already feeling guilty because of him, An Luo could only change A non-physical request: Actually, I just want free access to the Wang Family Library and the rights to all the Wang Family books.

In this case, I think I can make the decision and open the Wang Family Library for you.

As she spoke, Alice, who seemed to feel that she could make up for her mistakes, showed a smile that was similar to her age.

Really? It's so good... Although this is also one of the goals, it is still quite different from what he expected to see more, so the smile on An Luo's face is quite forced.

You look like...a little unhappy?

How could it be? I'm so happy...I almost cried with joy.

is that so?

That's right...but now that the business is over, you don't need to use honorifics to me anymore, just be normal.

Rather than crying with joy, An Luo was more like crying without tears. An Luo, who was tired of even pretending to smile, sat back down again, sighed silently, and resumed eating high-level experience points. Royal monster cuisine.

His attitude also made Alice understand that his current mood was not very good. He was probably just taking care of himself, so he did not express his true thoughts. This made her feel guilty again, so she just kept quiet. Having dinner.

But the silence didn't last long. She couldn't help but quietly raised her head and looked at An Luo who was still sighing across from her. Although she was very embarrassed, she still timidly requested softly: Mr. An Luo... .When the dinner is over, would you like to chat with me for a while? I want to know more about your past life in another world.

This...if it doesn't take a long time, there will be no problem.

Thanks!

The unexpected permission made Her Royal Highness the Princess smile shyly with joy. This smile made An Luo couldn't help but shake his head.

Obviously, she is the one with the highest status in this city, but she always has some scruples. She lacks the toughness of the superiors, and she is not as willful as ordinary children. She has always been polite to the people around her. She was so polite that An Luo sometimes forgot that she was a princess.

After this simple personal dinner, An Luo's chat with the princess continued for quite some time.

As night fell, An Luo left the coordinates in the open-air atrium of the castle where teleportation was prohibited for his own teleportation. After bidding farewell to Her Royal Highness in the atrium, An Luo temporarily left the place and returned to his home.

But just after teleporting to the courtyard of his home, An Luo noticed...Yuyou was carrying Huihui back from the courtyard gate. Judging from Huihui's limp appearance, she had obviously just used explosion magic.

When the two girls who were scolded by him and told to spend the day at home and not go anywhere, noticed the beam of light, their expressions suddenly changed, and the noisy voice disappeared in an instant.

What a coincidence~ Isn't this An Luo? Did you go somewhere to play today? Did you come back so late? Huihui pretended to be calm and waved at Youyou's back, who was about to cry.

Chapter 10: The Whip of Love·La Beldia and Wiz board the pirate ship

Just looking at the way Huihui and Youyou returned from abroad, An Luo understood that the two of them had a nature that was hard to change.

After being honest for most of the day, Huihui finally couldn't hold it in anymore at night, and her old habits started to happen again.

Originally, I was corrected once a week, but now I haven't lost a Explosion Magic for a day since I came back, and then I was paralyzed for a long time and felt unhappy. Now it's obvious that I lost an Explosion Magic after leaving the city.

Where I go is my business. Children, don't worry about adults. It's up to you two...

Even if he could guess what happened, as well as the actions and motives of the two people, An Luo still shook his head and asked: Didn't I say before? I asked you two troublemakers to reflect at home for a day today? Why did you run out again? It’s not strange that Megumin doesn’t change her ways, but Yunyun? What’s the matter with you?”

Yes, I'm sorry...I, I really reflected on it, but, just after I took a shower, Huihui was not there. Only Huihui's note was left on the table. She said she was going to the suburbs. I There is really no way to rest assured, so...
