Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Xiaomi, wake up! I called my sister over to have dinner with us!"

The first thing I heard when I entered the living room was Xia Lu's cheerful voice. At the same time, Xue Li nodded slightly at Ai Xue:

"Come and have breakfast. It will be more lively with more people. Since you just arrived in the Imperial City and don't know the way around, we can go there together later!"

Having said that, Ai Xue naturally had nothing more to say. She bowed slightly and sat down with Amy to enjoy breakfast for two.

The breakfast was very rich, at least it was the richest one they had ever had. After having a delicious meal, Ai Xue prepared to leave with Xue Li.

"Xiaomi, wait for your sister to come back!"

Amy couldn't see, so Ai Xue didn't plan to let her go to watch the brave selection she participated in. So she was going to remind her like this, but she didn't expect that just after she finished her instructions, Xia Lu on the other side had already pulled Amy and said:

"Xiaomi, Xiaomi, let's go watch the Hero Selection together. It's sure to be lively!"

"Yeah, I want to see it!"

Although she couldn't see, she could still hear. At least she could know her sister's situation at the first time... With this idea in mind, Amy decisively ignored her sister's instructions a few seconds ago. On the other side, after seeing that Xia Lu had spoken, Ai Xue could only shake her head helplessly and hand her sister to the other party.

Xueli took Ai Xue to participate in the selection, and naturally they had special tools with them. As for Xia Lu and Amy, the same was true. Although they were going to the same place strictly speaking, they did not set out together. Instead, right after Ai Xue and Xueli left, Xia Lu excitedly pulled Amy to go... shopping!

"Aren't you going to watch my sister's audition?"

Walking on the road, letting Xia Lu pull her forward, Amy asked with some doubt, to which Xia Lu did not even turn her head and said:

"The selection starts in an hour, and my father will have a very, very long speech then. It will probably take more than an hour to finish. So instead of going there early and falling asleep, why don't we go buy some delicious food and fun things to do before going there... Oh, you've never been to the Imperial City, right? I'll take you to try some of my favorite restaurants. They're delicious!"

The cheerful voice is always so hard to refuse, and Amy was no exception. The two of them immediately left the imperial city hand in hand. Not long after, accompanied by guards, they walked directly through the gate of the imperial city and came to the street outside.

"Let me think about where to go first..."

It was obvious that this was not the first time they had come out. After thinking for a while, Xia Lu immediately walked in one direction, while Amy followed her like a little follower, letting her hold his hand and move forward. Although they could not see the surrounding scenery, it was not difficult to tell from the gradually increasing lines and the surrounding noise that the two had arrived in the bustling downtown.

"It's so lively!"

Even during the biggest gatherings in the village, the streets were not as lively as they were today. Amy sighed as she listened to the various noises around her.

"It's incredibly lively, with so many people, and there are so many more vendors than usual... Maybe it's because today is the day of the Hero Selection, which is a big event for our country, so the people are really excited!"

Since Amy couldn't see, Xia Lu took the initiative to act as her eyes and explainer. At this moment, she spoke with a bit of the aura of a princess. Hearing this, Amy nodded slightly and started shopping with her after Xia Lu's detailed introduction.

Xia Lu was clearly very familiar with the streets, and with her extraordinary verbal skills, after just over an hour, even Amy, a blind person, felt like she had memorized the surrounding routes. It had to be said that her introduction skills were truly excellent. Perhaps even without being a princess, she could still be a qualified tour guide… This thought suddenly flashed through Amy's mind, but then she scratched her head in confusion: What is a tour guide? Why did this suddenly occur to her?

"Hey? Princess, what a coincidence that you're here for snacks too!"

"Huh? It's you, why are you here!?"

Just as she was thinking about it, a sudden conversation from the side suddenly attracted Amy's attention. After listening carefully, it seemed that there was a man standing between her and Xia Lu, and was greeting Xia Lu at this time. Xia Lu also responded to this, but her tone was obviously not very polite.

"Well~~ The selection of heroes will take some time, so I'm going to eat something first. I didn't expect to meet Her Highness the Princess by such a coincidence. I wonder if I can..."

"No, no, I'm not hungry, thank you!"

The refusal was quite obvious, and Xia Lu didn't hide it at all. After she finished speaking, the other party seemed to be silent for a while. Then, Amy felt a gaze fall on her. She could see a hint of doubt in the other party's expression and a faint colored line, which represented a color of surprise. Obviously, the other party showed surprise when seeing her... By the way, was she really hungry? This wasn't the first time Amy had such doubts. After all, she couldn't see and had no idea what she looked like!

"What are you looking at? I'm warning you not to pay attention to my Xiaomi, or I'll be rude to you!"

Having also noticed the look the other party was giving Amy, Xia Lu also spoke in a bad mood. However, such words of reprimand were obviously understood by the other party in a different sense. The man in the light silver warrior uniform couldn't help but spread his hands and said casually in a tone that was similar to pampering and submissive:

"Yes, yes, it's just that the little sister is so cute that I couldn't help but take a few more glances. How dare I lay hands on your friend, Your Highness the Princess!"

Although he said so, Amy could see that the other party's emotions were still locked on her. Although he had no ill intentions, but... for some reason she felt a little dislike for it!

"As long as you know!"

The conversation ended here. Xia Lu, obviously not wanting to say anything more, pulled Amy away. She seemed to faintly hear the man muttering to himself behind her. Xia Lu didn't hear it, but Amy heard it clearly:

"As expected, tsundere is only for little lolita girls? But if you want to capture a tsundere little princess... it's actually quite interesting!"

The fun feeling like playing a game and the amazing emotion still on her made Amy shiver uncomfortably.

Although I know that the other party has no ill intentions, but... I always feel very... uncomfortable!

21. They are all routines, but you are not the protagonist!

As a palace maid, Yura has always adhered to her duties as a maid, fulfilled her duties from beginning to end, and has been able to show her mature and capable style in the face of any situation... It is precisely because of this character that she quickly gained a foothold in the imperial city, and became a top maid among the palace maids, and was later specially assigned to serve the royal family.

Also this year, because of her own excellence, Yura was transferred again and even received the honor of being able to serve the brave, which made her feel extremely proud and excited!

Although this hero looks a bit ordinary, he is still handsome; and although he seems to be a little mentally unstable and often mutters things that he cannot understand, his strength growth in just a few days is real; although he is a bit arrogant and lustful, as a hero who saves the continent, these are obviously not important things!

However, with this attitude, she had been able to serve the brave hero wholeheartedly in recent days, making him extremely satisfied. But even with this satisfaction, until today, she encountered something that troubled her greatly, which was...

"Master, this isn't a good idea!"

Originally, she should have called the other party "master", but it seemed that the other party did not like this title, so she stopped calling him that. And also for the sake of respect, it was obviously not possible to call him by his real name directly, so finally, at the other party's suggestion, the word "young master" came into being... although she didn't quite understand what this word meant!

Of course, what to call him at the moment is obviously not the point. The point is the figure standing... no, it should be said that he is squatting in front of him, with most of his body hiding behind the wall, only his head sticking out and looking at the figure on the street in front of him... Yes, this is his own brave man, and as for what the other party is doing at this moment... Yes, he is following!

The one following him was none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Pernachi Empire: Charlotte Pernachi.

So as a royal maid, should I report this kind of thing?

But what should I say in the report?

Are you saying that the brave man has evil intentions towards Her Royal Highness the Princess?

But putting aside the fact that it is a normal procedure for a hero to marry a princess, from what I have learned over the past few days, it is obvious that this hero of ours is the type who has lustful thoughts but no courage, and who is lustful but only dares to look secretly. He doesn't even dare to touch a maid like me who doesn't resist at all. How could such a person have such improper thoughts about the princess?

Could it be that lolita complex?

Well, I also learned this term from the hero. It is said that he called the eldest princess a "legal loli" when he first met her. "Baby-faced giant..."

Even though he didn’t understand the first one, it was obvious that Yura understood the second one!

Then, for some unknown reason, these words reached the ears of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and since then, Her Royal Highness the Princess has never given the other party a good look!

Back to the topic... Obviously, the purpose of the hero's tracking was not to follow such a low-level thing, but there was another reason. However, following is following after all. Yura couldn't help but remind him, but he never thought that such words would be exchanged for the hero's direct and confident rebuttal:

"What's wrong with that? I'm protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Huh? Protect..."

Protecting the eldest princess? I really didn't see that!

"You don't understand this!"

Seeing that the two people outside seemed to have stopped by a small stall, Zuntian immediately seized the opportunity to turn around and teach Yura behind him:

"I'm telling you, this is the traditional world-class routine!"

He started to say something different from what he heard... His thoughts were not known to the other party. Yura only heard Zuntian say to himself:

"You see, it all started with the protagonist accidentally meeting the princess on the street..."

But you were waiting here early in the morning because you heard that the princess was coming out!

"Then the two of them parted ways due to some minor misunderstandings and left separately..."

I think the situation between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess is not just a simple misunderstanding!

"Later, the princess ran into trouble, and the hero stepped forward to save her. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two of them reconciled and became good friends, even..."

Regarding this point... you are really overthinking it. Besides, not to mention that there are secret guards around the eldest princess, just the fact that you, the brave man, have the strength now to protect the princess is obviously a bit... Excuse me for being frank, it's not enough!

I kept slandering him in my heart, but Zuntian's delusion continued:

"Then, according to the routine, I will delay the upcoming hero selection because of saving the princess. After being blamed for a while, the princess will stand up for me. Then, I will stand up and slap those who blamed me in the face, and by the way, I can also increase the presence of the hero... What a perfect plan!"

With an expression that looked like he was dreaming about the future, Zuntian said this immediately, but Yura suddenly reached out and touched his shoulder:

"Although I really don't want to disturb you, Master, but..."

Seeing Zuntian looking at her, Yura immediately pointed behind him and said:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Amy are gone!"

So if the above conditions do not occur, the final result may be just a scolding, and there will definitely be no subsequent plot!

Even if you really stood up for the princess, the other party might not speak for you. After all, the eldest princess only looks young, but she is actually very smart and... cold-hearted!

"what?!"

Zun Tian couldn't hear Yura's ventriloquism, so when he learned that Her Royal Highness had disappeared, he immediately looked up in the direction of the street. However, he saw only an empty stall. He quickly chased after them, but when he looked around, he couldn't find the two people anymore. His face immediately turned bitter:

"It's over, I lost him!"

So, are novels really all lies? Zun Tian immediately looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, silently shedding a tear of deception, but at the same time...

"I don't want to disturb your sadness, but... Master, you're almost late for the selection ceremony!"

"Ah? Ahhhhhhh~ I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Yura's reminder made Zuntian instantly aware of the time issue. He screamed and immediately ran towards the direction of the imperial city. He left a trail of dust all the way, leaving only Yura standing behind. He silently glanced in the direction of the vendor where Xia Lu had been before, and then whispered:

"Notify the Third Princess, and then go look for her. If you can't find her... you don't have to come back!"

"Yes!"

Something responded from the shadows and then disappeared.

"Young Master is right. Princess...it looks like you're in real trouble!"

"I hope you're safe, Princess!"

22. Amy, the infinitesimal power!

"Where is...where?"

Amy was originally looking at an ornament on the stall. Just when the white flower with the magic of lasting fragrance was inserted into Amy's long pink hair, a purple magic circle suddenly appeared under Amy's feet without any warning. At the moment when the other party disappeared, Xia Lu reached out and grabbed the other party, and then the two of them disappeared at the same time.

"I've been tricked!"

This was the only thought in her mind at that moment, and the target was obviously Amy... or herself, but for some reason the wrong person was teleported. Of course, no matter which one it was now... it didn't matter!

In the pitch-black environment, in the slightly dim light, one can see that there seems to be a stone wall around them, which means that the two people are now in a cave. At the same time, listening to the occasional chirping of insects around them, one can tell that there should be a forest-like environment outside the cave. Of course, these are not the point. The point is that the two people were teleported here, and the black hand hidden in the dark... could it be nearby?

His eyes instantly changed from smiling to alert. With one hand, he held Amy, who was startled by the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere. With the other hand, a red flame emerged from his fingertips. The next second, a firefly suddenly appeared and illuminated all directions.

"Who is it? Come out!"

The clear voice had completely lost its previous innocence, and instead, it was as if a different person had become alert and a little cold. Her eyes looked around wantonly, hoping to find any trace of the enemy in the firelight. However, at this moment, Amy, who was originally holding her hand, suddenly tugged at her sleeve. Just as Xia Lu turned her head to look at Amy in confusion, Amy said at the same time:

"Xiao Lu... there's someone down there!"

Although it could not be seen or felt, the clear line was still clearly reflected in Amy's eyes. Although she didn't know how Amy knew it, Xia Lu naturally trusted her. Therefore, the moment she finished speaking, the fire sparrow in her hand dived into the soil as if it had received an order without thinking.

"Boom~~~"

A muffled sound suddenly came from underground, and cracks appeared under the feet of the two people. Along with the magical aura, Xia Lu could clearly feel the breath of the earth element coming from underground.

It seemed that the other party was planning to use earth element magic to sneak under her feet and launch a surprise attack. Not to mention whether Xia Lu would be successful in such a sudden attack, the other party actually came out from below... You have to know that at this moment she and Amy were both wearing skirts, so if the other party was a woman, she must be a pervert, and if it was a man... a scumbag, he deserves to die!

"Xiao Lu, there are four people in front of you, left and right!"

Just as Xia Lu was thinking about it, Amy's voice suddenly rang out again. At the same time, as if they had received something, four figures suddenly jumped out from the shadows, and just as Amy said, they rushed towards the two of them from the front and left and right.

"Boom~~~"

A wall of fire suddenly shot out from the ground and blocked the two of them, isolating the three of them. Before Xia Lu could say anything else, the wall of fire suddenly disappeared the next second. At the same time, three people holding sharp blades that flashed with golden light rushed in from it.

"Demon-breaking Blade?!"

She recognized the origin of the weapon in the other party's hand at a glance. This thing is definitely a nemesis for magicians. Xia Lu's face changed slightly and she grabbed Amy and quickly retreated to the rear. However, even so, she was still not as fast as the other party.

"Chi~~~"

"Xiaolu?!"

The smell of blood...Xiao Lu is injured!

Amy instantly sensed the change in Xia Lu's mood and shouted anxiously. Xia Lu covered her arm with one hand and responded while enduring the pain:

"I'm fine, Xiaomi, be careful!"

Although Xiaomi couldn't see, she seemed to be able to sense the enemy's presence for some reason. Because of this, Xia Lu put down some of her worries. However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a feeling of dizziness suddenly came from her mind. It was...

"The blade... is poisonous?"

She immediately turned her head and looked at her arm. It was obvious that the other party had prepared for everything and planned to capture her alive, which was why they brought her here so smoothly and turned her into what she is now. This was enough to prove that the other party's target was her, and Amy... was just implicated.

"Xiaomi, I'm sorry..."

Realizing that her body was becoming increasingly weak, Xia Lu had obviously understood the current situation. The other party obviously did not intend to kill her but to capture her alive, so nothing should happen for the time being. From the very beginning, the other party did not have much murderous intention towards Amy, and did not seem to be a bloodthirsty person. Therefore, the safety of the two was guaranteed for the time being. Of course, this did not mean that Xia Lu would admit defeat. The reason she admitted her mistake was only because she had implicated Amy.
