Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't bother Xiao? Rose, get off Xiao right now."

As she spoke, Lucy dragged her sister, who had turned on the strange switch, off the bed.

"I wouldn't do anything weird. I'm just hugging Xiao-nii to sleep. What's wrong with that?"

"Are you going to wear pajamas when you go to bed?"

"That kind of thing will hinder me and Brother Xiao, so absolutely not."

"That's absolutely impossible."

Lucy and Crystal looked at each other and dragged the guilty Rose out of the room.

"Oh yes, we'll let Sera and Dora come to keep you company later. You should just have a good rest today."

Worried that Xiao might get into an accident, the three of them placed Sera next door to be taken care of by Dora.

"I know..."

Looking at Crystal who kept giving him instructions like a mother, Xiao smiled bitterly.

Chapter 117 The Princess's Reason for Disliking Time Travelers

"Even if you say you want me to rest, what should I do?"

Just like a worker who has been busy for a long time and would be at a loss when suddenly given a vacation, Xiao was also wandering around his room with nothing to do.

Sera, who was originally asked to accompany him, also pulled Dora to prepare breakfast for herself and left the room.

How did I spend such leisure time in the past...?

Beautiful girl games, comics, light novels, anime... words full of otaku culture emerged in Xiao's mind.

Xiao suddenly remembered that the rare edition Strike Freedom he had bought online seemed to have not been assembled before he left.

"Oh no, I feel like I'll become autistic if I just lie in bed and think about things."

Xiao rolled over, got out of bed and went to the next room.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Yuliana reading a book in the morning sun.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses, and her chestnut hair reflected a faint orange-red hue in the sunlight.

Different from her previous cute, lively and somewhat naughty image, this exotic princess now appears to be very quiet and intellectual.

It also gives people a very melancholic feeling.

"I didn't expect you to be still alive."

"That's a bit too much, isn't it? After all, I did save you once, right?"

"You didn't just want to save me back then, did you? Instead, I almost died at your hands.

Besides, I hate people like you who rely on favors to repay kindness the most."

"While this is true, how about being a little grateful to me?"

"By the way, what on earth are you doing here? Are you here to disturb me while I'm reading?"

Seeing Xiao sitting opposite her, Yuliana seemed very impatient.

"I'm just too idle and want to find someone to chat with and kill some time."

"Has anyone ever told you that this behavior is really annoying?"

"You don't like me anyway, so it doesn't matter, right?"

"Tsk!"

"By the way, you're reading... No Longer Human...! I'm quite surprised. Where did you get this book?"

Xiaocai noticed that the text on the cover of the book was actually Japanese.

"Why don't you just read my inner thoughts? It wouldn't be the first time for a voyeur like you to do something like this, right?"

"That's a shame. My ability isn't omnipotent. I try not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

Xiao was also very helpless about this.

Originally, his knowledge of the side effects of mind reading was limited to headaches and a short-term weakening of his mental strength.

But when he was in Pierre-El, he was worried about Sasha, whose mental state was very unstable at the time, so he secretly used mind reading to monitor Sasha's thoughts.

Although it only lasted for three days, Xiao developed some obstacles to self-awareness.

Over the next week, he would occasionally have the illusion that he couldn't tell the difference between himself and Sasha.

"It was given to me by a friend (or rather, a traverser with whom I have a good relationship)."

"Wouldn't it be better to just say friends?"

"I don't need friends. You can understand the words in this book. You are indeed a time traveler."

"Yes, that's correct. But you used the word 'travelers'. Doesn't the Kingdom of Elvira have so-called heroes?"

“Yes, but I hate that word.”

Yuliana took off her glasses, revealing a look of contempt and disgust.

"Aren't you curious about the reason?"

Seeing that Xiao had no intention of asking further questions, Yuliana felt a little dissatisfied.

"Would you like to tell me? Although I have a rough guess.

After all, the vast majority of people who traveled here are between 14 and 23 years old, and in our world, most of them are still considered children. Once they possess uncontrollable power, they are the type to easily become carried away."

Xiao gave a self-deprecating smile.

Unlike Crystal and other people from another world, people of this age on Blue Star are still in school.

Due to the relatively closed living environment and some inappropriate family education, many people's way of thinking is very self-centered.

Once such people gain so-called power, it is not surprising that they would do anything extreme.

"I didn't expect you to be so self-aware, even though you're a scumbag."

"Isn't that last sentence redundant?"

"Many of these time travelers are extremely naive. If you're even slightly polite, they'll push you around and ask for more. They don't even consider the value of their own despicable special abilities."

"Your resentment is not ordinary..."

Seeing Yuliana, who always liked to restrain herself and hide herself, suddenly burst into a curse, Xiao smiled bitterly helplessly.

"I came to attend the engagement party of the Second Prince of the Empire this time, entirely to avoid a proposal from a brave man in the Kingdom."

"It's just a proposal, you shouldn't be so angry with him, right?"

"It was just a proposal! You know what a jerk he was before... Tsk, why would I tell you something like that?"

Yuliana, who had slammed the table and yelled at Xiao, regained her composure and sat back in her seat unhappily.

"Because you want to find someone to talk to, and you don't have any friends."

"I already said I don't need it."

"Since you already hate me, there's nothing wrong with using me as a trash can for you to vent to, right?

It won't make your loved ones feel bad, and you can vent your frustration without making me feel bad, so why not do it?

"That's true... That bastard accepted my father's proposal to marry my sister, but then he unilaterally broke the engagement and pursued me instead."

"Why? You're so cute, your sister can only be cuter than you, right?"

"Why do you think so? Forget it, my sister suffers from a strange disease. According to the history passed down by the royal family, it seems to be called Magic Crystal Syndrome.

People suffering from this disease will secrete body fluids mixed with magic crystals, and in severe cases, even their body tissues will turn into magic crystals."

"I've never heard of this disease."

"None of us knew about it until my sister lost the ability to move her legs due to this disease."

Yuliana smiled bitterly and clenched the glasses in her hand, making a slight creaking sound.

"That bastard hero was saying something like, in front of others, that although my sister is cute, she's too scary because she'll suddenly have magic crystal fragments falling off her face.

Because of him, not only the Kingdom, but also many nobles in the St. Frank Alliance have a very subtle attitude towards the child, and even regard her as a monster."

[Sometimes words are scarier than swords...]

Recalling the time when his childhood sweetheart was bullied at school, Xiao could fully understand Yuliana's current feelings.

"But that bastard shamelessly and sweetly pestered me, proposing to me like I was a hero and had done something for this kingdom."

Xiao Qing held Yuliana's hand and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

"Even if you do this to me..."

Yuliana's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't show any intention of pulling her hand away.

"How about revenge on him?"

"Eh...but..."

"Anyway, a self-righteous person like him will only cause endless trouble in the future, right?"

"That's... indeed."

"Even though I've sent you back to Elvira, I don't plan on coming back immediately. If you need anything, Your Highness can hire me to do it for you."

"Hire you? Pfft! I get it. I'll leave you, you scumbag, in my hands when the time comes."

"Brother Xiao, Sister Yuri's breakfast...Ah! Brother Xiao, you didn't do anything to Sister Yuri, did you?"

As Sera, dressed as a cute little cook, entered the room, she saw Yuliana crying.

"It's Oh Sera, the bad guy who bullied me."

"Hello, I..."

"Brother Xiao, even though Sister Youli is a bad-intentioned person and is sometimes childish, you can't bully her."

"Eh?! S-Sera-chan?"

"Although I feel like you guys are having a great time, but there's something urgent going on, Xiao-nii."

Seeing Annie climbing in through the window with a serious face, Xiao suddenly felt uneasy.

Chapter 118 Wendy, a Brave Girl

"That's the thing, Mr. Reg."

"How could... that brat actually do such a thing, I, I."

After listening to Crystal's report, the middle-aged man seemed very helpless.

Langdon was the orphan of an older brother who had been very kind to him and his wife, so he had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

I don’t know how to face my benefactor who has passed away.

"Xiao prepared it for you

Gold coins, paying off this debt first should buy some time."

"Eh? So many Mr. Qian Xiao..."

"Xiao said that it was like returning the principal with interest to you."

Crystal laughed helplessly.

"T-thank you so much, Mr. Xiao..."

"But I don't recommend you leave Helen Els just yet."

"Although I know this is shameless, could you please let that kid Langdon go?"

Reg had a rough guess about Xiao and the others' plan, so he asked anxiously.

"I'm very sorry, but we can't guarantee that. After all, we're being targeted by the Green-Headed Snake now."

"I'm so sorry... I dragged you into this matter..."
