Chapter 495
"My father, the general, and my brother have all gone on an expedition to the city at the forefront of the battle against the Demon King's army. No one will pursue us unless something serious happens. Please tell me about various things outside the city."
Nothing serious? Igarashi felt that Alice was hinting at him!
Even the king went on an expedition, but left the highest combat power of mankind here. Princess Alice was favored beyond imagination, and she knew very little about things outside the royal capital beyond imagination.
So Igarashi and Aqua mistook the priests of the Eris Cult for Aqua Cult to demand money, and Megumin was swallowed by a giant toad and was destroyed by just one use of explosion magic, and even Darkness' attack He told Alice all the interesting things such as the missed hits.
I just skipped some details, such as Aqua being a goddess. As for whether Princess Alice could guess it, it was none of Igarashi's business. At the beginning, Aqua had no intention of hiding her identity. No one believed that the mentally retarded person was just a goddess, and in the end it was settled.
Then the woman in the white suit who disappeared the moment she came back came back.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Alice, all the procedures have been completed. Now Igarashi-dono is an official guest and can stay in the palace for a long time without any worries..."
"Then I carried Megumin, who was all weak, and returned to the city with integrity."
"Very upright? What would you do if you weren't upright?"
"Ah, if he is that kind of dishonest person with evil intentions, he will..."
"Hey, hey! What are you telling Her Majesty Alice! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're powerful!"
The woman in the white suit rushed to Igarashi, drew her sword and said tremblingly. It seemed that her belief in the protection of Princess Alice allowed her to overcome the fear of Igarashi in her heart, but she did not lose her etiquette. , at least he didn’t utter the word “despicable person” again.
"This is what Alice wants to hear, I didn't take the initiative to tell her."
"Call me by name or something..."
The woman in the white suit seemed to be overcome by jealousy.
"Wait a minute, Kureya, I took the initiative to ask Igarashi-dono to call you by name directly. Compared to that, Igarashi-dono, what would a dishonest person do?"
Alice blushed and waited expectantly for the next step. It seemed that she was not an ignorant girl who was completely ignorant of the world, so you are a bit erotic, Princess Alice.
"Your Highness Alice, no, that is a question that cannot be asked! Moreover, the great magician named Megumin looks about the same age as Princess Alice. Igarashi, you really have a problem!"
"Girl in white suit, don't judge others by yourself, okay? I'm very upright. Didn't I emphasize that before? Only people who are not upright would do things!"
"Shiro, what is the name of the girl in the white suit? Call me Kureya! No, call me Lord Kureya! I am the eldest daughter of the Senfornia family, who can rival the Dustinese family!"
It seems that Kureya has a bad temper and cannot practice well.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Although it's a pity, let's wait until the next time we have the chance to listen to the story just now."
Seeing Kureya's entangled attitude, Her Royal Highness the Princess showed a somewhat regretful expression. It was true that she was not usually willful.
"Then let's talk about something else. Well, when we went to the Red Devil's Village, I was locked in a room with Megumin by Megumin's mother."
"Please, please tell me! You must tell me this!"
As expected by Igarashi, Princess Alice became excited again.
"No, you can't! Your Highness Alice, you can't listen to this man! This man probably has unrighteous thoughts about you!"
Then as time passed, Kureya, who had been jumping up and down anxiously, must have gotten tired and fell asleep on the bed.
Princess Alice was still listening to Igarashi's story with great interest, and even poured a glass of water obediently, both to moisten Igarashi's throat and to allow him to continue talking.
Igarashi simply told stories about other worlds.
It was very easy to attract Her Highness the Princess deeply. From time to time she showed a smile of attraction, and from time to time she showed loneliness.
It seems that Princess Alice is really like a canary in a cage, no, considering her extraordinary fighting power, or a tiger in a cage is more appropriate.
Then suddenly there was the sound of a bell.
It tore apart the tranquility of the night and woke up the sleeping Kurea.
"What's wrong? Are you here again?"
Thus murmuring she rushed out of the room.
After the bell, there was an announcement that only appeared on Axel's urgent mission.
"The Demon King's Army attacks, the Demon King's Army attacks! The Knights fight back immediately. All adventurers, in order to maintain the security of the city and warn against monsters invading the city, please come to help high-level adventurers!"
It's clearly the royal capital, but the Demon King's army is still attacking, seemingly very frequently.
It was more like harassment than an attack. The storm quickly subsided, which was also related to Igarashi's secret action.
"I'm sorry for making you see such an annoying thing. After dawn, just let Lei Yin take you back to the city. Can you apologize to Lalatina and the others for me? Although this is not a front line, but occasionally You will be attacked, but that doesn't mean there is no danger. I'm sorry for bringing you here."
Seeing that Igarashi had no objection, Her Highness the Princess smiled sweetly.
"Thank you for accommodating my caprice tonight. Sir Igarashi, if you have the chance, can you tell me an adventure story?"
This is not the ignorant and willful princess that Igarashi originally thought, but an unexpectedly likable and normal guy.
"certainly."
Chapter 683 Worry
Originally, Princess Alice had agreed to send Igarashi back the next day, but she was reluctant to let go of a guy who could tell stories and was better than her and just ran away. She said to herself that she would send Igarashi back. The time was postponed to the evening, which was still the second day anyway. Then, while being worried and afraid that Igarashi would ask, she pestered him to play with her.
"There is no schoolwork today, so I hope you can play this game with me."
Alice said timidly, as if she was afraid that the invitation would be rejected, or that Igarashi would mention why he wasn't sent back yet.
This is in the atrium of the castle, equipped with parasols, tables and chairs, and board games on the tables.
"It seems that you want to be tortured by me. Although you have never played this kind of thing before, you have played a lot of similar things. Alice, are you ready to cry after losing?"
Igarashi seemed very arrogant. He didn't mention going back at all. Anyway, he could use teleportation magic to go back at any time.
"I won't cry! Okay, okay, as I wish, people in the city are concerned about me, and no one is willing to be my opponent! I'm not afraid of losing, and it doesn't matter if I lose. I hope you will play with me seriously! "
As Igarashi said, although Igarashi did not understand the rules in the first two games and was defeated by Alice who had played the game countless times, Igarashi kept winning after that.
"Well, I lost again..."
Anyone who says they are not afraid of losing is a lie. Children still attach great importance to winning and losing. The successive defeats made Alice feel depressed.
"Igarashi, tell me more about the outside world."
Alice said this while moving the pieces on the chessboard.
"The Demon King's Army cadres in the mixed bath, the poisonous slime of death that went to the Aqua Cult headquarters to pollute the hot springs, and the happy girl who lured death with her extremely friendly gesture, haven't I told you all this? Well, they even talked about giant toads and so on. You should know it very well. If you are so curious, just go out of the city and have a look."
"If I want to leave the city, I need to mobilize the knights to protect me. After all, I am not allowed to leave the city alone without my retainers... I don't believe that the cadres of the Demon King's army will be reprimanded by adventurers and have to rely on charity to survive. Lich, don’t underestimate me just because I don’t understand the world.”
