I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Even advanced magic was learned not long ago with the help of Miss Nero and Alice.

He obviously regards Alice as a very close friend.

However, very suddenly, when faced with Alice's status, Yuyou began to feel inferior.

The dark emotions spread from the heart to the surroundings, making Youyou a little breathless.

The hands holding the pillow tightly, sweat began to form in the palms of the hands.

"What...what should I do?"

Chapter 287 Draw your sword when you meet

The weather is starting to get cooler.

The refreshing cool breeze blew from the other side of the grass field, and it was really comfortable when it brushed my cheeks.

When I was training under the sun, I always looked forward to a cool wind like this.

Of course, it would be better if there are clouds that block the sun or even dark clouds that can rain. It is best to keep raining until the end of the military training.

The golden sand-like hair was blown by the breeze, and Nero reached out to stir it up.

"How dare you make Yu, the Roman Emperor, wait. It is an unforgivable transgression... However, for the sake of being a beautiful girl, Yu is still very merciful."

Today, Claire and Reine will come to pick up Alice.

Nero didn't want too many people in Axel to know Alice's true identity, so there was no one around at the place where they agreed to meet.

After a while, Alice and Yuyou came here together.

"Did you say goodbye properly?"

"Um……"

Alice was not in a good mood. Children always take separation very seriously.

Suddenly I remembered a very embarrassing thing... I remember that she was raised by her grandma when she was very young. Her mother finally came back once, and she had to go out of town again in a few days. When she left, she didn't even say goodbye. Even her grandma She didn't believe her mother when she was told that she had left. She searched for her mother everywhere in the community, crying and dying.

Looking at Alice who was in a depressed mood, Nero suddenly opened his mouth.

"Every farewell is for a better encounter next time."

Seeing Alice and Youyou raising their heads and looking over, the smile on Nero's face gradually became gentle.

"There is no need to take parting too seriously, and it does not mean that we will never see each other again. A person's life is woven by partings and encounters again and again, but it is precisely because of regrets about parting that we will look forward to meeting in the future. Have expectations.”

"Grow up in separation, and then move forward with expectations."

"Isn't this a kind of Roman romance?"

Yes, it’s not like we’ll never see him again.

Although there are no mobile phones in this world that can make video calls, there is teleportation magic. Although the Royal Capital and Axel are far away, if you use teleportation magic, it can be done in one go, which is more trouble-free than high-speed trains and airplanes.

However, it may be difficult for Alice to come out again... Then let Yuyou go to the capital to find Alice.

Once Yoyo accumulates enough skill points, she should also be able to learn teleportation magic.

Moving his gaze to Yunyu, Nero saw that Yunyu had some dark circles under his eyes.

Looks like he didn't sleep well.

"Alice, have you told Yuyou your true identity?"

"Yes." Alice nodded and said with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes: "Because we are friends, I don't want to hide my true identity... Did I do something wrong, Sister Nero? "

"No, no, you did the right thing." Nero smiled softly: "At this time, there is no need to hide your identity anymore."

Youyou guessed that Alice's status was unusual. She must be a noble, and not just an ordinary noble.

However, she probably didn't expect that Alice's true identity was actually from the royal family, right?

In comparison, Yoyo is just a commoner, perhaps a "vulgar adventurer" in Claire's eyes.

However, such a huge identity gap does not seem to cause a rift in the relationship between the two.

This made Nero very happy.

"Um...can I go with you?"

Beiqi bit her lip, and the nervous Youyou suddenly asked.

Nero was not surprised that Yoyo asked such a question and explained patiently.

"If you want to go to the Royal Capital with us, that's no problem. Although the monsters in the Royal Capital are very strong, there are enough to help you level up and get through the novice stage. However, if you What I want is to stay by Alice's side... I can only regretfully tell you, no."

"Is that so...that's true..."

The answer Nero gave was also what Yuyou expected.

However, it would be a lie to say that I didn’t have the slightest expectation.

If she didn't have any expectations, she wouldn't have spoken.

In the end, this glimmer of expectation was destroyed by the cruel reality, and chaotic emotions lingered in her heart, making Youyou have the urge to cry.

But...you have to at least cry when you are alone.

When parting, you must smile.

Not far from Nero and the others, a light suddenly lit up.

Threads of light were woven into a magic circle on the ground. When the light of the magic circle reached a limit, two figures appeared out of thin air.

There is a female knight in formal attire, gold mixed with a little blue, and a female magician in a cape with orange hair.

It was Claire and Reine.

The person who used teleportation magic to bring Claire here was Rein.

The magic circle under her feet disappeared, Claire opened her eyes and looked towards Nero and the others.

Then... he drew his sword and struck Nero.

"What a warm greeting, female knight."

Claire's sword was blocked by Nero... and that's not all.

What blocked Claire's sword was just two fingers.

The huge gap, like a natural chasm, was intuitively displayed in front of everyone.

Faced with this gap, even Claire can't muster even a hint of fighting spirit.

"...You, this guy, really have nothing to say except in terms of strength."

With a sigh, Claire lowered her shoulders and put the sword back.

"Besides you, no one should be able to defeat a Demon King Army cadre so easily, right? Really, sometimes it makes people wonder whether you are even human..."

"Hmm! I think I am still a human being... Or rather, what else could I be if I were not a human being? However, I will just accept your words as a compliment."

Nero put his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes happily.

Seeing Nero like this, Claire became angry again.

"You should be glad that nothing happened to Your Highness Alice, otherwise, I would have executed you even if I risked my life!"

"Claire..."

"Your Highness Alice, please don't look at me with that heart-wrenching expression. This is a matter of principle..."

Alice should be considered Claire’s nemesis.

If it was for Alice, Claire might not even care about this country.

"Your Excellency Nero."

Lei Yin, who had always had no sense of presence, stepped forward and bowed to Nero.

"What's this?"

"This is...a thank you to you."

The words are full of sincerity.

"Claire and I both heard what Sir Dustynis said about your adventure in this city with His Highness Alice... Claire was very angry when she first learned about it, but, Das Sir Tynis said... Her Highness Alice is smiling almost all the time."

Sir Dustynis is Darkness.

Darkness knew how much Claire hated Nero for taking Alice out of the capital, and in the past few days of getting along with her, she also gradually understood Nero's personality, and at the same time, she also reflected on Alice's behavior these days. See it in your eyes.

Darkness is also trying to ease the relationship between Claire and Nero in her own way.

Chapter 288 Alice’s Growth

Lei Yin even came closer and whispered in Nero's ear.

"Don't look at Claire like that. In fact, she is still very grateful to you in her heart. It is because of you that Her Highness Alice is so happy. I am also very grateful to you, Your Excellency Nero."

After saying that, she took a few steps back. Rein tilted her head and blinked her left eye in front of Nero, looking playful and cute, and then showed a sad expression.

"Actually, we also know that Her Royal Highness Alice has always been lonely in the castle, but due to our responsibilities, we can't do anything. At most, we can only bring a few storybooks to Her Royal Highness, or find someone to Several adventurers came to tell Her Highness Alice their adventures."

Claire and Rayne are both Alice's guardians and Alice's education specialists.

They also sincerely hope that Alice can live a happy life and show her brightest smile. However, their duty as guards requires them to put the safety of Her Highness Alice as their top priority.

Therefore, Claire felt very conflicted.

Claire resented Nero for taking Alice out of the capital without authorization.

Claire was grateful to Nero for making Alice happy these days.

Perhaps there is also a point that Claire is jealous of Nero, because it is Nero who brings a smile to Alice's face, not her.

"Then..." Lei Yin turned to look at Yunyu, who had a reserved look on her face, "Are you Yoyo? Your Excellency Nero and His Excellency Alice's teammates, we also know you... don't be nervous."

Can you not be nervous?

The person in front of me is the bodyguard and education specialist of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"That's right, don't be nervous, Yoyo." Nero came over and patted Yoyo's shoulder, saying what made Lei Yin's expression stiffen, "Lei Yin may not be as rich as you."

"How is that possible..."

Youyou still doesn't believe it.

So Nero explained: "Hmm! What Yu said is true. Last time Yu saw Lei Yin and a group of people going to a high-end restaurant for dinner, and everyone else ordered a lot of food. Du Leiyin only ordered a glass of water, and Leiyin’s dress is so tacky not because she has a bad sense of aesthetics, but because she only has this cloak that she can use..."

"Nero...Your Excellency Nero! Please save some face for me!"

After some pleasantries, it was time to say goodbye.

Just now, Reine used teleportation magic to bring them here, and now she will naturally use teleportation magic to bring Claire and Alice back to the capital.

"Then...goodbye, Yoyo."

Standing between Claire and Reine, Alice and Yoyo said their final goodbyes.

"You must come to the Royal Capital later. I will take you around the Royal Capital in return for taking me around Axel."

"Well...I will definitely go."

Youyou's words were a little choked, and her eyes were filled with water.

After saying goodbye, Reine raised her staff and chanted a spell.

Then, a complex magic circle began to emerge under the feet of several people, accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, and the figures of several people disappeared in the light.

With his hands clasped in front of his chest anxiously, close to his plump breasts, Youyou stared at the place where they disappeared, standing there for a long time.

"Hmm! Alice and the others have left, so let's go back too."

"Hmm..."

...Hmm?

"Come to think of it, I haven't had breakfast yet, and what about you? I don't think you've had breakfast either, right? After all, you just got up and came here, and you don't have time to eat. Why don't you go to the guild to eat, and then directly accept today's commission after eating."

Wait, wait, is there somewhere...

Youyou turned around in shock, and saw Nero with his hands behind his head, looking thoughtful.
