After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Hard to say.

After thinking fruitlessly, he shook his head.

"Let's wait and see. There shouldn't be any changes in the short term... Oh, by the way, isn't Alicia going to Tafia to purchase supplies soon? I'll go with her and check out the situation."

"Hmm... Hmm? Hum——"

Villian nodded, then suddenly, as if remembering something, she crossed her arms, squinted her eyes and glared at herself, even puffing up her cheeks.

The words "I'm angry" were almost written on his face.

Aize was confused:

"Why...are you suddenly angry?"

"Why do you think I'm angry?"

"Uh……"

A classic life-threatening question plus an unsolved mystery in the world - why do girls get angry?

Aize couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He looked around and thought about what had happened and been said recently, and he seemed to understand why.

He scratched his hair and asked tentatively:

"Well... we're going to Tafia later, how about we go together?"

"Okay~"

After saying this, Villian's expression immediately changed from gloomy to bright.

I just said before that you are not allowed to do dangerous things alone. Turning around, Aize forgot about it again. How could Villian not be angry?

It’s not that I’m worried that Alicia will be alone with Aize or anything.

But at this point, Miss Witch couldn't help but ask one more question:

"By the way, what was the outcome of the conversation with Miss Alicia just now? What did they say? Did you figure out her identity?"

"Hmm...I figured it out, and I didn't figure it out either."

"What?"

I know a lot of things, but the only thing I don't know is what Alicia is.

Aize sighed and gave Villian a brief account of what had just happened.

After hearing this, Miss Witch blinked and said with emotion:

"What a wandering monster! To think such a thing actually existed! If the Faceless Men knew about this, they'd probably be twisted and distorted with jealousy~"

But then she smiled again:

"But, regarding not knowing what she is, I have no right to criticize her. If there's any difference, it's that I have Aize now~"

With that, Villian turned around with a wicked smile and threw herself on Aize's back. While twisting around, she kept rubbing his hair:

"She seems to have a good feeling about you, too. Who knows, soon, there might even be no difference between her and me. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, what a sinful man you are!"

Aize, who was almost knocked down by this, managed to steady himself after shaking his body.

"Stop messing around, come down quickly..."

"No! Just carry me back to the village like this? Just consider it as punishment for wanting to leave me alone again~"

"Stop pulling my hair—"

While they were playing, a small figure suddenly came through the bushes and appeared beside the two of them.

It was Anna who had helped Aize trick Alicia here before. She was holding her lunch box in her hand, probably coming to have lunch with her sister.

Seeing the two people making a fuss, Anna was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted them:

"Good afternoon, big brother and big sister."

Seeing this, Villian blinked, finally let go of her hand and slid down from Aize, landing smoothly on the ground.

Then he walked forward, smiled and touched Anna's hair:

"Good afternoon, Anna. Listen to me. My son Ain was secretly meeting with your sister here without my knowledge, and I caught him red-handed. Tell me, isn't that too much?"

"No, you clearly—uh…"

It was a blatant false accusation—but not entirely a false accusation, because after all, Aize did not tell Villian that the two of them had come to meet in the forest.

Anna covered her mouth when she heard this, and looked at Aize with a subtle expression:

"Big Brother, I'm still young so I don't really understand, but isn't this a bad idea..."

"..."

Being told this by a child is quite hurtful.

The two demons were talking to each other, and Aizegan was completely silenced.

Looking at the embarrassed Aize, Anna quickly smiled and said:

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. Besides, how's the conversation between Big Brother and Sister Alicia going?"

"Well, I've said everything I need to say. Thank you."

Aize expressed his gratitude, and the mixed-race girl nodded, put away her smile and said seriously:

"Um, big brother, did Sister Alicia tell you any secrets?"

Aize frowned:

"Secret? No, I just asked about work. What's wrong?"

Regarding Alicia's true identity, Aize felt that she didn't need to care so much and there was no problem in making it public.

But since she decided to keep it secret, Aize wouldn't be so tactless as to ruin her plan.

Just help her cover it up.

Not getting an answer, the little girl looked a little depressed.

"That's it..."

"Well, nothing serious. What happened?"

"I... no, it's not just me. Everyone in the village can sense that Sister Alicia seems to be hiding something from us."

"Some people in the village have seen Sister Alicia's transformation ability, but even if they asked her, she would just brush it off. So I thought that Big Brother's words might reveal something."

"Uh……"

Aize couldn't help but sigh secretly - wasn't Alicia's confidentiality work a bit too rough?

But it's true, apart from being extremely ferocious in battle, that guy does seem a bit dull in other aspects.

I even seriously thought I hadn't noticed the problem with the tentacles.

He is not good at hiding his emotions. Everything is written on his face, so it is normal for the villagers he lives with to notice it.

But having said that, Aize would like to ask a few more questions.

He walked forward, bent down, smiled, and asked casually:

"Why? Are you worried that your sister is hiding a secret from you?"

"Hmm... Actually, I don't really mind. After all, everyone in the village likes Sister Alicia very much. Whether she says it or not, no matter what the secret is, it won't change."

Anna shook her head.

"But even though I don't care, I still want to know! Sister has done so much for everyone. If she's in any trouble, I...we all want to do something for her!"

Do such companions actually exist?

Aize was instantly twisted with jealousy.

But he still smiled lightly with satisfaction:

"It's okay. If anything really happens, your sister will tell you the truth... Now may not be the right time for her, so don't worry too much."

Anna was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded:

"Thank you, big brother. I'll leave Sister Alicia's affairs in your hands! Please take good care of Sister Vivian without making her angry!"

Chapter 99 Iron Fist Sanctions

Aize is ashamed:

"Isn't there something wrong with what I said? It sounds like I'm going to do something..."

"Haha, who knows? Big Brother is always nice to everyone."

Anna stuck out her tongue playfully:

"Rather than this, I'm going to look for my sister. Big brother, big sister, goodbye!"

"Yeah, bye!"

After a brief conversation, Anna said goodbye to the two and went to the lake to have a sister luncheon with Alicia who was still waiting for her.

And Aize and Villian returned to their own cabin.

After lunch, I really had nothing to do for a while, so I just wandered around the village.

Then--

"You! Move harder! More forcefully! Your strength isn't even enough to give me a back massage!!"

Grote's shouts and a burst of loud noises came from the open space in the center of the village.

Aize walked over and found that some half-bloods in the village had gathered there, conducting combat training with various crude weapons.

Groot, wearing his tattered armor and holding an unsharpened wooden axe, was sparring with a very young half-blood.

The opponent held a wooden stick, which he used to simulate a sword or knife, and swung it at Groot randomly. Unfortunately, there was no method or strength, and the opponent caught it with his bare hands.

The others who were training were also in a mess, most of them just waving their weapons around randomly.

This made Aize, who was used to leading elite troops, have his blood pressure rise and he shook his head.

Noticing Aize's arrival, Groot immediately stopped what he was doing and used his ferocious features to force out a smile as best he could:

"Mr. Ain, you are here."

"Is this... combat training?"

"Yes, something like that happened before. Alicia was afraid it would happen again, so she asked us to strengthen the village's defenses. Many of the new companions we rescued earlier also joined us in defending our village. Isn't this a lesson for them?"

For example, the young man who was sparring with Groot seemed to have met him before in the deserters' dungeon. Facing Aize's gaze, he nodded somewhat nervously.

Among the other people practicing, there were many faces that had been seen in the dungeon.

Of course, not all of them are newcomers.

When Aize first arrived in the village, the half-bloods who had contradicted him were also among them.

Even after what happened before, their attitude towards Aize has not changed much.

Although the difference in strength made them dare not provoke him again, when they met in the village, they would still stare at Aize with unfriendly eyes.

Of course, Aize didn't care and simply glared back with an even more unfriendly look.

He looked at Groot:

"Did you teach them how to fight?"

The tall orc scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I taught her. Alicia's swordsmanship is too strange. No one else can learn it. Besides, I'm the only one who has combat experience."

So that’s why it turned out like this—Aize covered his face.

In the previous battle, it was a miracle that this group of people were able to successfully hold on for two days.

It was all thanks to the favorable terrain, the weak opponent, and Groot's combat power.
