I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Then, through Megumin's complaints, Nero learned that when Megumin and Yoyo competed in winter swimming, Darkness, a masochist, also became interested and joined them without saying a word.

As a result, only Megumin and Yunyun got cold and sick, while Darkness was fine, perhaps because of her excellent physical fitness.

…………

"Sister...Yuyou doesn't want to eat..."

"Eat a little as much as you can. You'll get better quickly if you eat a little."

Nero felt that Yoyo was a little delirious, and he imitated Alice in calling her sister.

Even though Youyou's eyes were watery, her face was red, and her voice was whiny, her plea was still rejected by Nero.

Using a spoon to scoop up some steaming white porridge, Nero pursed his lips and blew on it before feeding the spoonful of white porridge to Youyou's mouth.

"It's fine if you can't finish the porridge, but you should eat more meat."

After drinking about a third of the bowl of porridge, Nero wiped Yuyou's body again.

After soothing Youyou to sleep, Nero stood up and prepared to leave with the remaining porridge.

"Hmm?"

Lowering his head and looking at the hand that reached out from the bed to grab him, Nero was silent for a long time.

"Sister...don't leave..."

Youyou's beautiful brows knitted together, making people feel pity for her.

Trying to make his voice as gentle as possible, Nero's uncaught hand gently covered the back of Youyou's hand.

"I won't leave...Yu is right here."

She didn't even know that Yuyou was so dependent on her in her heart.

I don’t know if Yoyo heard Nero’s reply, but... I always feel that Yoyo’s complexion is a little better.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and night enveloped me.

Everything in the room seems to be lightly covered with a soft veil, creating a deep and peaceful atmosphere.

In this quiet atmosphere, even the passage of time seemed to slow down.

When I had a fever...did my mother work like this?

Nero couldn't help but think of this.

Every cough made her panic.

Afraid of not being able to take good care of himself, he will ask for experience from people he trusts.

Leave quietly, because Nero still needs to change the ice pack for Yoyo.

The bowl containing two-thirds of the porridge must also be taken away, but there is no rush to wash it yet.

Put it in the kitchen and wash it when you have time.

Returning to the room, I checked Youyou's complexion and felt much better indeed.

The frowning expression as if he was having a nightmare no longer appeared.

Nero had previously considered whether to give Yuyou a try, but now it seems that he shouldn't do it.

She often had fevers when she was little, and she can’t remember the day when she started to have fever. She was no longer sent to the hospital when she had a fever, but was treated by her mother.

Nero didn't know what the principle of pulling sha was. It should be similar to scraping, right? Pull hard on the back and nape of the neck until a bunch of black and purple marks appear, which is considered successful.

I heard from my mother that the effect of pulling Sha is really good. In the morning, I wipe my body with a hot towel soaked in water, then pull Sha. Finally, I sleep until the afternoon, and the fever subsides.

Not only is it effective, but it also costs nothing.

After that, every time she had a fever, her mother would give her sha.

Although the effect is very good, the pulling is really painful!

The key point is that her mother also said that the best effect is when the pain makes you cry loudly, shed tears and sweat.

I vaguely remember that my mother once said that she was almost regarded as a child bully by the neighbors once she was pulling sha.

Staring at Youyou's sleeping face, Nero murmured to himself.

"When Yu had a fever, my mother stayed by Yu's side like this. She couldn't relax even when she was sleeping. She would wake up even if she coughed a little."

Youyou is only thirteen years old.

At the age of thirteen, he left the village where he had been living, his family, and went to a strange place to wander. He became an adventurer and fought against dangerous monsters all day long.

Taking off the ice pack, Nero touched Yoyo's forehead, which was still cold, smoothed her brow and arranged her hair.

At this time, Youyou made a sleepy sound as thin as a mosquito.

"Dad...Mom..."

"Hmm! I'm so sorry, your parents are not here, hmm... Although I can't guarantee that I can be like your parents, but... you can also rely on me more."

…………

The moonlight was like delicate silver satin, gently spilling into the room from the window, casting a soft halo around the room.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Youyou quietly opened her eyes a crack, and the brilliance in her eyes gradually returned.

My head is still a little heavy and my memory is intermittent.

She turned her head and looked at Nero who was guarding the bed.

"Nero...sister?"

"Hmm! It's just the rest! Have you woken up? Or do you need to sleep again?"

Listening to Nero's concerned words, Youyou shook her head, and then looked at the sky outside the window.

"Sister, did you...stay here all night?"

There was a deep sense of apology and regret in his words.

"Isn't it natural?" Nero seemed not to notice Yuyou's tone at all, and said matter-of-factly: "The soundproofing effect of the room is so good, if something happens here, Yu will never sleep in his room. I can’t hear you, so if I don’t stay by your side, I won’t be able to settle down and sleep.”

Youyou's fingers tightly grasped the quilt, and her teeth bit her lower lip.

Her heart beat so fast... What was this throbbing?

Her face was so hot... She didn't dare to look at Sister Nero's face at all...

"Gu——"

A very abrupt sound sounded, which was deafening in this quiet atmosphere.

Youyou pulled the quilt up a little, covering her face that was red and about to bleed, which made Nero laugh.

"What's there to be shy about? You're hungry, which proves that your illness is almost cured, and you really didn't eat anything today. You only drank less than one-third of the meat porridge I brought before."

"Hmm..."

Gu... I want to die...

Nero stood up with his hands on his knees.

"It's just right. I didn't eat anything today, and I'm a little hungry... Let's go out to eat."

"At this time, just think of it as having breakfast in advance."

Chapter 308 Invitation from the Royal Capital

"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."

Youyou was a little anxious today.

Just like a novice who is about to meet the interviewer.

In front of a floor-length mirror, Youyou held up skirts of different styles.

Watching this scene, Nero wanted to ask from the bottom of his heart.

"Is it that serious?"

"Isn't this natural? We are going to the capital to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess next!"

Because they defeated many Demon King Army cadres, Nero's team and Kazuma's team received an invitation to go to the capital to receive awards from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Headless Knight Beldia, Demon Duke Vanir, Toxic Slime Hans, Synthetic Beast Sylvia.

That's right, since defeating Vanir in the dungeon, Nero and his team defeated two more Demon King Army cadres.

In order to reward this achievement, Her Royal Highness the Princess sent invitations to the two teams.

"Hmm! Although I think it is more likely that Alice couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to see me, so she sent the invitation."

Looking at Youyou who was a little flustered, Nero couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you so panicked? Weren't you playing chess on the same bed with Alice?"

"But...but! I didn't know Alice was the princess at that time! Although I knew Alice's identity when we parted, I was so sad about the separation that I forgot to care about Alice's identity!"

Looking at Nero's fearless look, Youyou asked subconsciously: "Sister Nero, aren't you a little panicked?"

"Why should I panic? I'm just going to see my sister who has been separated from me for a long time. Even if someone should panic, it should be Alice and the others." Nero raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly with his left hand lightly covering his chest: "Besides, I am the emperor of Rome! The incarnation of the goddess of beauty Venus! I am always in the most perfect state! There is no need to panic!"

After being confident, a cunning appeared in Nero's smile.

"Don't worry, it's not just us who are going to see Alice this time, there are also Kazuma and the others. Based on my understanding of them, they will definitely do something. Even if you really do something rude and embarrassing, it will seem so-so when compared with them."

"Sister Nero...isn't this a bad thing?"

"Relax, the worst that can happen is beheading."

"Isn't that bad?!"

…………

Nero and Youyou arrived at the capital first through the teleportation array without going with Kazuma's team.

"Hmm! The capital...I feel like there is no change compared to when I left."

Youyou is in the capital for the first time, but Nero is not.

After all, when she first came to this world, she landed in this city.

And she landed in Alice's room.

Seeing that Youyou seemed very curious about the surrounding environment, Nero asked, "Do you want to walk around here first? Anyway, there is no rush to meet Alice."

"Sir Nero."

The person walking towards Nero was known to both Nero and Youyou. It was one of Alice's guards, the magician Rain.

Rain bowed slightly, with a smile that made people hard to get tired of, and said softly, "The task given to me by Her Highness Alice is to welcome His Highness Nero and Miss Youyou here."

Nero did not expect that Alice would directly have someone wait for her in front of the teleportation magic circle.

But...

"Where's Claire? Isn't she the one who came to pick me up?"

"Claire... uh... doesn't welcome your arrival, Lord Nero."

The smile on Rein's face became a little far-fetched. "When Her Highness Alice said she wanted to invite Her Highness Nero to the capital, Claire was the one who reacted the most. She said she would not let Her Highness Alice see you."

"Hmm, this is really... To be honest, I like a beautiful girl like Claire, but it's a pity that she treats me like this..."

"Happy, happy, happy..."

For some reason, when she heard Nero say that he liked Claire, Youyou beside her reacted a little too much and her face turned red.

"Then, please follow me. Her Highness Alice has been waiting for you two for a long time."

Rein turned around and prepared to lead the way for the two, but suddenly turned back as if she remembered something.

"Also, Claire may be a little irritable. When Her Highness Nero sees her and Her Highness Alice later... No, it's nothing. Please pretend I didn't say anything."

Nero took two steps, then turned back to look at Youyou who was still standing there.

"Yuyou, let's go."

"Eh? Oh oh oh! I'll be right over!"

There seems to be something wrong with Yoyo's performance?
