As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The monsters were so frightened that they fled in all directions with their tails between their legs. Later, few monsters dared to show up and block the way.

It's getting late.

This special training lasts for two days, so there is no need to rush.

"Alice, that's all for today...!"

Roy was about to ask the girl to rest when he heard a muffled sound coming from a distance. He frowned and looked over.

Alice was two seconds slower and also looked into the depths of the jungle, readying her sword as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Be careful, the guys who come this time are dangerous."

"Ah."

The muffled sounds grew louder and louder, shaking the ground to the point of making faint noises.

Finally, a rhinoceros with a pitch-black skin and a metallic luster appeared from the depths of the jungle, roaring and rushing towards Alice like a derailed train.

The girl's pupils suddenly shrank.

There was a roar like thunder and sparks flew everywhere.

Even though Alice tried to block, she was still thrown dozens of meters away by the overwhelming force. She finally turned over and fell to the ground on one knee.

Sequence 7... No, it's the [Black Steel Rhino] that's close to Sequence 6.

The fine steel sword had already broken into pieces.

But the unarmed girl was not afraid at all, instead she was eager to try.

This kind of opponent is a formidable foe even for second and third graders, and they can lose their lives if they are not careful.

It doesn't matter how many of those small fish you kill, only by competing with this guy can you have a chance to show off in front of the master.

A look of determination flashed in Alice's eyes, and the silver holy light in her hand condensed into a long sword of light.

But just as she was about to draw her sword, the sharp dark golden sword light had already followed the young man away.

【Sky-Splitting Dragon Claw】

The young man was like a galloping dragon, and his sword blade was like a claw that was sharp enough to crush steel. With just one strike, he penetrated the skin that was harder than steel and killed the fierce giant on the spot.

Roy casually sprinkled the blood on the sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and smiled gently at the little maid: "Don't worry, everything is fine."

However, Alice was not happy at all. Instead, she frowned in grievance and puffed up her lips slightly.

"It's okay if you don't need my help..."

Chapter 9 So Cute

The night in the forest is very dangerous and inconvenient to move around.

Luo Yiti had already chosen a campsite, set up a barrier, and ended today's exploration.

He originally wanted to help Alice light a fire, cook, and set up a tent, but the little maid said, "No need to trouble the master," and took care of everything by herself, leaving Roy bored.

Looking at the little maid busying around in silence, Roy sighed.

When Alice is in a bad mood, she won't make a fuss or try to show off, she just keeps it to herself.

Obviously, the little maid was still depressed about having her prey taken away during the day.

Roy actually knew that with Alice's strength, she would be able to deal with that thing even if she put in some effort.

But when he saw Alice being knocked away, he subconsciously took action.

You may not believe it, but it was my hand that moved by itself.

"Master, is dinner ready?"

"Wait and eat, I have something for you."

Roy handed over a mithril sword that gleamed with cold light.

"Your sword was damaged during the day, wasn't it? Although projected weapons can't be preserved forever, this should be enough for the next two days."

"Mithril is as fine as a feather and as strong as a dragon's scale. It should be much more useful than your original sword."

Alice took the sword and stared at it intently for a while.

There are very few changes in her expression, but because of this, any slight change in her emotion is particularly obvious.

Her long, soft eyelashes rose like butterfly wings, and her flawless face seemed to be covered with a faint glow. Alice held the mithril sword gently in her arms like a little girl who had received a doll.

Especially after hearing that it cannot be preserved permanently, I seem to cherish it even more.

"Thank you, Master."

"Do you like it?" Roy grinned unconsciously and said proudly, "There will be better weapons in the future."

[Platinum Workshop] has a slot reserved for the casting of a supernatural weapon, but unfortunately, the corresponding materials are not available yet.

"I like everything as long as it's a gift from the master." Alice murmured softly.

The answer that seemed perfunctory and exaggerated to others sounded particularly sincere when it came from the girl's mouth.

Roy struck while the iron was hot and said, "So, don't be angry about what happened during the day, okay?"

Alice was slightly startled and a little confused: "Alice is not angry..."

"It's just that, at that level, it would be fine even without the master's intervention."

"As a maid, Alice will never be angry with her master. Besides..."

Alice paused, her eyes softening: "Alice knows that the master is just worried about me."

The light blue eyes are like clear amber, rippling softer than the spring breeze.

"I'm sorry for making the master worry."

"No, no, no, in the final analysis, it's still my fault. I should be the one to apologize, right?"

"But the master clearly did nothing wrong. It's Alice who should apologize."

"Ah, kid, I told you it's my fault..."

A strange dispute arose between the master and the servant, which ended only when the soup pot beside them overflowed with water.

Dinner was a sandwich that Alice had prepared in advance and placed in the storage ring, as well as a thick soup made from wild vegetables, mushrooms, and game that she had collected today.

Alice’s cooking skills are so good that she can make simple ingredients look new and fresh. Even though we are away from home, the food is no worse than at home.

However, after eating and drinking, when it is time to go to bed, I cannot be as leisurely as at home.

Roy sat down beside the tent and said, "I'll keep watch. You rest first."

"But......"

"No buts. I have the ability to [stay awake], so I won't be affected by not sleeping for a whole night, so just rest assured."

With such sufficient reasons, Alice certainly couldn't refute it.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

"No trouble. You've been busy all day." Roy was a little amused.

Even though we've been together for so long, Alice can still be too polite sometimes.

It's okay to relax a little more...

"By the way, change out of your dirty clothes. I'll wash them for you and they should be dry by tomorrow morning."

Roy snapped his fingers, causing some water to splash.

[Weapon Projection·Purify Water], the water flow it produces is like detergent, which can remove dirt with just a little moisture.

To use it, you need to use water and sword to cut the clothes, which is a bit weird.

Girls all like to be clean. Although Alice did not make this request, she may not lack this desire.

"Oh? But, but..." Alice was a little distressed.

Roy was afraid that Alice would start being polite again, so he casually waved his hand: "No buts, this little thing is nothing."

"You usually help me with the laundry, would you like me to help you once in a while?"

The girl was still a little hesitant: "But, do I really have to take it off?"

"Just take it off. Oh, I'll turn my back, so you don't have to be afraid."

Seeing Roy's firm attitude, Alice finally made up her mind and took off the restraints on her body bit by bit.

Logically speaking, as a maid, even if it is such a request, she should resolutely carry it out without wavering and satisfy her master's wishes.

If it were in the past, Alice would have this confidence.

But at some point, just being stared at by her master and having her hand held made Alice's heart overflow and her heart beat fast.

Taking off all the clothes at once... I can't calm down at all.

But if the master wishes...

Roy considered himself a gentleman.

Soon, a white school uniform jacket and small boots filled with white cotton socks were brought over one after another.

But at this moment, a strange piece of cloth was placed over.

It was a white pleated skirt as soft as petals.

Roy's face suddenly darkened.

"Wait, what are you doing?!"

"Oh, no, Master asked me to take off my clothes?"

"When did I... Uh, even then, you don't have to take off so much! Shoes, socks, and a coat are enough!"

Really, this girl trusts herself too much, doesn't she? She does everything I say!

Didn't you ever think about what would happen if you got mad and pushed her down?!

Seeing the little hand tremblingly pulling the skirt back up, Roy wanted to teach her a lesson again, but he couldn't say it out loud.

In the original work, Alice is quite emotionally dull.

Just like the Asashi in Japanese comics, or the straight woman who has been single for thousands of years, it was purely by coincidence of fate that he attracted Charlotte and the others.

So don’t be too harsh on yourself.

However, what Roy didn't know was that Alice, after putting on her skirt, went into the tent, hugged her knees and curled up in the corner, like a big golden squirrel, covering her face tightly.

From the ears to the neck, the fair skin was stained crimson.

I was so careless! I almost offended the host! I really lost my composure!

Alice loosened the gap between her fingers and glanced at the figure outside the tent. She seemed relieved, but also vaguely disappointed.

The master just now seemed to have no interest in me at all...

After washing the clothes and hanging them on the rack next to the campfire, Roy Caigang sat down, but saw half of a body sticking out of the tent.

The light golden hair fell loosely, making the girl less childish and more gentle. In the dim light of the campfire, she looked like a fairy in a fairy tale.

"Good night, Master."

Roy finally came to his senses and said, "Good night."

After completing this ceremony, Alice squinted her eyes softly like a little girl who got sweets, and went back to the tent contentedly.

The boy stared at the tent silently for a long time before rubbing his head and muttering, "How cute."

Chapter 10 Prey

The night in the swamp is starless and extremely cold.

Enwei stared at the campfire alone, cursing this damn mission for the umpteenth time.

If there wasn't overtime pay for tutoring practical training, who would come to this damn place to freeze?

Wouldn't it be nice to go to the bar and ask a bar girl to accompany you?
