Just a magical girl who picks up trash

I didn't realize that little Amy actually had this problem. You should know that Amy hasn't said a word since she appeared. This unusual situation obviously made Xiaotang's tone carry a hint of worry, and Amy responded to this:

"No... I don't know why, just now... I felt like I vaguely remembered something, but it seemed like I didn't remember anything..."

There seemed to be a tiny crack in her memory, allowing Amy, who had lost her memory, to glimpse a little bit of it. However, it was only a blurry picture and she couldn't be sure what it was. So Amy remained silent on the surface, but in fact her mind had already sunk into her consciousness to look for clues. She didn't pay attention to what Zhao Yuyuan said before, and even what the other party's name was... Amy didn't hear it clearly!

I just vaguely remember it seemed like...Yuanyuan?

I always feel...it's such a familiar name!

Perhaps it was because the other party had the same name as the system that was still dormant, so Amy didn't care too much about Zhao Yuyuan's affairs. Similarly, when Xiaotang learned that Amy had recalled her memories, she obviously didn't care about the girl who had just appeared out of nowhere, and instead began to care about Amy's physical condition.

"How is it? How much can you remember?"

Blindness, loss of memory... A girl who was only in her teens actually experienced such a thing. In fact, Xiaotang was obviously very concerned about Amy's past, so when she heard what the other party said, she immediately cast a series of light healing magic directly on Amy's body... No matter whether it was useful or not, she would just add it first!

29. Runaway

Although it was unknown whether the mysterious girl who had just appeared was a friend or an enemy, Xiaotang still chose to believe her. She did not touch the bone knife on the ground, but directly chose to use light magic to purify it into nothingness. Then, when the bone knife in front of them turned into golden light and disappeared in front of the two of them, it immediately left a magic stone that was even bigger than the Minotaur's before...?

"Is this...really a monster?"

They never expected that there would be weapon-type monsters. This was obviously beyond the imagination of the two of them. This also proved that what Zhao Yuyuan said was not false. The other party really helped the two of them, or saved Xiaotang's life.

After the maze is completed, there is no reward treasure chest like in the game. In fact, after defeating the lord, the evil spirit attached to this maze will dissipate. Instead, the surrounding monsters will stop being born. At the same time, this maze will officially merge with the world and become an environment like the snow-capped mountains outside.

Of course, the plants that have been alienated by the monsters and the erosion of demonic energy, as well as the magic stones left behind after the monsters died, are obviously valuable resources for the empire. Therefore, in a sense, the "mining" of the maze can be regarded as a considerable gain!

Naturally, those things had nothing to do with Amy and Xiaotang anymore, so after they finished their business here, they planned to go back. However, they never expected that they would be stopped by someone on the way... Well, it wasn't a stranger, but someone who had slipped out of the imperial city because of boredom... two people!

"so……"

In the lush forest, a carriage was moving quickly on a flat road. However, the direction it was heading was not the previously planned direction of the imperial city, but the exact opposite direction.

Baimu City, that was the name of their destination, and the reason for going there was very simple, because of the two figures, one big and one small, sitting opposite Amy and Xiaotang in the carriage at this moment.

"Hehe~~~"

The smaller figure with a mischievous smile is the elder sister, but at this moment she is like a naughty child, scratching her head from time to time, looking embarrassed but not at all shy; and the one sitting next to her is the younger sister, who is much more mature than her elder sister in every aspect, and even the apologetic smile on her face is so sincere... Of course, this can't offset what the other person has done now!

"So... Xia Lu's antics are fine, but what on earth were you thinking, Your Highness, that you would sneak out of the Imperial City with this guy?"

Headache, a very bad headache... Of course this does not refer to Amy, because strictly speaking Amy is also an accomplice in this incident, so the person with a headache is strictly speaking Xiaotang.

As Amy's guardian knight, she is also the only member of Amy's team. Not only is Amy a child and cannot see, it can be said that Xiaotang is like a guard and nanny. Not only is she responsible for taking care of everything for Amy, but she is also responsible for matters related to the previous maze. It can be said that she is Amy's virtuous wife.

However, what such a virtuous wife needs to worry about now is how to pay for the willfulness of her "master".

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean I'll just let it go? You're talking like I really enjoy causing trouble. You're going too far!"

A dissatisfied voice came from Xia Lu, who was dressed like a tomboy in a short-sleeved shirt and a large hood on her head. However, the next second, she received the simultaneous gazes from Zhongou in the carriage, and the meaning of those glances was very clear:

"Is not it?"

As the only person in the room who couldn't roll her eyes, Amy asked the question considerately, and then... Xia Lu was speechless!

After all, it was he who proposed this matter, and he even tricked his sister into coming out as well!

"So... can you tell me the reason, Princess?"

Xia Lu stopped talking, and Xiaotang then turned his gaze towards Xueli and asked.

That’s right, Shirley, Her Royal Highness Princess Shirley who should actually be considered the ruler of the empire now. However, at this moment, she should have been handling state affairs in the imperial city, but instead she appeared in this small carriage, and directly changed out of her gorgeous princess dress and put on a piece of... armor?

Of course, it is called armor, but in fact it is not much different from a dress. It just has some protective and magic runes added on it. It can still bring out Xueli's noble and elegant temperament.

"This...sympathy for the people?"

Princess, do you know that you are really bad at lying...

As soon as Xueli said this, not only Xiaotang and Xialu wanted to hold their foreheads, but even Amy, without activating her abilities, could tell it was a lie. And the key question was...

"Why are you using interrogative sentences?"

So is this really the answer?

……

The incident happened about half an hour ago. Amy and Xiaotang, who were supposed to be heading home, were stopped halfway in their carriage. They originally thought they were attackers or bandits and were even ready to take action. However, Amy noticed at the critical moment that the two people blocking the carriage did not seem to have any malicious intentions, so she asked Xiaotang to go out and take a look.

Then, after seeing this, she was greeted by two princesses who seemed to be in disguise: Xia Lu and Xue Li, who came towards her with a look of confusion and shock on their faces!

To be honest, when they saw Xia Lu dressed like a thief, they didn't react much. But when they saw Xueli dressed like a knight, they felt a little... uncomfortable. It was too shocking. Who would have thought that such an elegant and dignified princess would have such a side?

Of course, they were both princesses after all. Regardless of why they had to leave the imperial city, Amy and Xiaotang naturally could not neglect each other. Therefore, they immediately pulled the two of them into the carriage. Before they planned to move forward, Xia Lu had already used the magic scroll on the carriage's command console to order the carriage to move towards Baimu City.

Then, at that moment, Amy and Xiaotang confirmed... the fact that these two people ran away from home!

And they... well, accomplices!

Are you kidding me? !

30. Escher's Invitation

Obviously, neither of them wants to be an accomplice, and Baimu City is not a peaceful place. You have to know that it is a city on the border of the empire. Not only is it a lawless area, it also borders the demons and even has trade relations with them. It is very normal to see demons in the city, but the two princesses are going to such a chaotic place... That is obviously impossible!

Both Amy and Xiaotang expressed their firm opposition to this and originally planned to send the two of them directly back to the imperial city. However, at this moment, Xia Lu suddenly lay on Amy's shoulder and whispered something. Then the next second, Xiaotang was shocked to find that their own brave man... actually betrayed them?

"I changed my mind, Xiaotang, let's go to Baimu City!"

"what?"

Sorry, I'm hard of hearing and didn't hear you clearly. Please say what you said again... Of course that's impossible. After clearly hearing Amy talk about going to Baimu City, Xiaotang was stunned for a long time before looking at the three people in the carriage.

The votes were now three to one, and the three princesses and the hero were all of higher status than him. As a guardian knight, it was impossible for him to refute them. After all, he was not Jack, who could ignore everything... Oh, right, why not just let Jack drive them all back? Jack was very good at this kind of thing anyway. After all, she didn't care about class or status...

"do not want!"

Then, just when Xiaotang had this idea, Jack's voice of rejection suddenly came to her mind.

"Why?"

She asked this, and the answer she received was:

'Amy wants to go, and I have no objection!'

"..."

Well, they all forgot that Jack has already betrayed them. No matter who they rebel against, they can never rebel against Amy!

So the final result was not three to one, but four to one, and one of them was the same, and I... To sum up, I have no right to refute at all!

So the carriage was driven steadily towards the direction of Baimu City. However, Xiaotang was unwilling to give up and still wanted to find out the reason... At least, even if he was going to die, he had to die with a clear understanding!

"It's not... it's not that serious, right?"

Amy, who had never been to Baimu City, said this immediately, but in return, Xiaotang rolled her eyes:

"That's because you've never been there and don't know how messy it is!"

Not only is it located at the border between the demons and humans, but it is also mixed with other races such as dwarves, orcs, etc. It can be said that Baimu City is the territory of the Pernachi Empire on the surface, but in reality it is a country within a country with all kinds of people. How chaotic it is... It is simply impossible to express in words!

"So, Your Highness, can you tell me why you insist on going there?"

Simply ignore Xia Lu's thoughts on answering. After all, the other party must have found it interesting or wanted to go out and have fun or something. However, Xueli's words obviously couldn't be because of these... and of course it was even less likely to be because of that damn compassion for the people!

"That's...okay!"

Seeing Xiaotang's insistence, Xueli thought that this was not something that needed to be concealed, so she nodded slightly and then replied with a blush on her face:

"Because...Aishe!"

She didn't say anything specific, of course not because she was hiding something, but because she was embarrassed. After all, it would be embarrassing for a princess of a country to take the risk and go to Baimu City for one person!

"...Well, I should have guessed it!"

It was impossible for Xiaotang not to know about the matter between Ai Xue and Xue Li because of the presence of Xia Lu and Amy. After hearing what Xue Li said, she immediately understood... No wonder Amy changed sides in an instant, after all, she was her sister!

"So...did something happen with Ai Xue?"

I should have called him the hero, but we all knew each other so well, especially since I was his future brother-in-law, so there was no need to be so distant!

"about this……"

As soon as the matter came to light, Xueli quickly regained her composure and immediately explained to the two confused people in front of her:

"When we were sent on the maze mission before, the place Ai Xue chose to go to happened to be the Red Maple Maze in the Maple Leaf Forest outside Baimu City. And you all know about the relationship with the Heavenly Warrior, so Amy was unable to become her guardian knight. So strictly speaking, Ai Xue now has no guardian knight by her side, and now..."

"Something happened to my sister?"

Before Xueli finished speaking, Amy on the other side had already become anxious. However, Xueli shook her head and said:

"No, in fact, your sister single-handedly opened up the Red Maple Maze, and even slew the maze master!"

To put it bluntly, the mission was completed, but Ai Xue did not return to the imperial city directly. Instead, she sent a letter to the imperial city... No, strictly speaking, it should be considered that she sent a letter to Amy, but because Amy also received the mission after that, the letter happened to be missed, so it was delivered to Xia Lu.

"A letter from my sister? What did it say?"

It was obvious that all the problems were caused by this letter. When Amy asked this question, Xia Lu immediately put a small crystal ball in Amy's hand... Well, this was the letter!

Since Amy couldn't see, Ai Xue naturally wouldn't neglect to write a real letter. So, the so-called letter was actually just a message crystal, and the content inside the crystal was very simple:

"Little Amy, little Amy, I've completed my mission. Are you busy over there? If you're not, come over to Baimu City. I'm telling you, Baimu City is hosting a Hundred Races Trade Fair. It's going to be quite lively... I was originally planning to bring you here to have some fun after you became my Guardian Knight, but now... well, just bring Xiaotang and come straight over!"

It was such a simple message, and after listening to it silently for a long time, the first person to speak was undoubtedly Xiaotang:

"So... is the truth as I guessed?"

She raised her head expressionlessly and looked at the two princesses in front of her, and suddenly uttered such inexplicable words.

"Yes, it's what you think!"

Xia Lu gave a direct affirmative answer, and although Xueli was a little embarrassed, she nodded.

"Well... things with Congress have been basically dealt with. It won't be a problem if I leave for a day or two... probably!"

"..."

31. Entering the City

"Let me give you a rough summary of what's happening now!"

In the carriage, after listening to Ai Xue's message, Xiao Tang immediately sat next to Amy as a perfect assistant. Looking at the two princesses in front of him, he immediately said:

"To put it simply, after completing the maze, Ai Xue sent Amy an invitation message, inviting Amy to participate in the Hundred Races Trade Conference. Is that right?"

Seeing the two nodded, Xiaotang immediately continued:

"And because the princess stole... No, because Your Highness the Crown Princess accidentally saw this 'letter', you found out about this matter..."

"I was just peeking. I'm still self-aware of that!"

Xiaotang defended the royal reputation, but Xia Lu obviously didn't care much about it, and she admitted directly that she had peeped. This made Xueli's face on the side even redder. It was obvious that the princess was not as open as her sister in this regard. In fact, even if she sneaked out this time, it was completely because she was fooled by her sister.

How should I put it...it was just a spur of the moment decision!

"...Okay, so you knew about the trade fair because you peeked at the letter that Ai Xue sent to Amy, and you wanted to attend it too... I guess that's correct, right?"

Xiaotang obviously had some understanding of Xia Lu's fun-loving personality. Xia Lu nodded vigorously as soon as she heard this. Xiaotang then looked at Xueli again:

"So the reason Princess Xueli followed me... well, I think I know the answer!"

There is no need to say it at all. No one present here doesn't know it. The purpose is too obvious. And putting aside other things, isn't this the most fundamental reason why Xia Lu was able to fool the other party?

"..."

Instantly sensing the gazes of the two, and Amy's expression of being completely absorbed despite not being able to see, Shirley immediately lowered her head with a rosy complexion, remaining silent for a long time. Seeing this, Xiaotang immediately waved her hand, clearly not intending to tease the other person. After all, they were both equally matched, so there was really nothing much to say, therefore...

"Well, since you all have decided to go anyway, it doesn't matter to me as a follower!"

The minority obeys the majority. Xiaotang didn't really care about any of this. Her earlier surprise was entirely due to the identities of the two princesses. But then she thought about it carefully... she was Amy's guardian knight, not the royal family's. What did the princess's safety have to do with her? At most, she could protect Xia Lu a little for the sake of her rival. As for Xueli... did she really need to intervene?

Someone is protecting them!

As for Amy... she does want to protect her, but the problem is who will protect whom at that time... it's hard to say!

……

Baimu City

Perhaps because the Bai ethnic group's trade conference is about to begin, Baimu City has been obviously much more lively in recent days than usual. Correspondingly, because of the liveliness, the various contradictions and so on have become more intricate and complicated. Even Amy and the other three had a deep feeling about this before they came into contact with Baimu City!

"Stop, everyone in the car...hand over your valuables, then the men can get out, and the women can stay!"
