A super traveler in a peaceful world

Of course, I can promise you that.

That's great! Thank you Lei Yin!

.

.

After handing the sleeping Kurea to Rein, An Luo used the magic of invisibility to take Alice, sneakily bypassing the castle to detect invisible defense loopholes, and arrived at the royal capital outside the castle.

...Although I have brought you out, I have never thought about what I want to take you to, and I am actually not familiar with the Royal Capital...First of all, I need to ask for your thoughts. Right? What would you like to eat, Alice?

In a deserted alley, An Luo worried for a moment and then looked at the girl next to him wearing a gray cloak.

Anything is fine! The girl, who had been looking excited from the beginning, raised her head and looked up at him, then raised her delicate and lovely lips, showing a bright smile: As long as it is recommended by Mr. An Luo, I think I will definitely do it. like.

...Really? Then I really have a heavy responsibility. This is the most troublesome answer.

Smiling bitterly and feeling a little depressed in his heart, An Luo decided that if what he saw was not too bad, he would try to eat well.

But compared to his worries, Alice was like a child at an amusement park. She kept looking around with her blue eyes. An Luo had no choice but to grab her slender and small hand and hold her to prevent her from going anywhere. ran away.

It always feels like parents taking their children to the amusement park, right? Looking at the back of the girl who was pulling him in front, An Luo couldn't help but sigh that maybe he was used to raising children.

Originally, in this medieval era, around seven or eight o'clock at night, there were no more people on the normal town streets. However, this was the core area of ​​the kingdom after all. Even after dark, the hawkers lined both sides of the avenue were full of energy. Always unabated.

Among the products sold, the most eye-catching ones are skewered barbecues that are convenient for eating on the go. But in addition, there are also a variety of snacks, and even pizza and ice cream are available for purchase. The aroma of the mixture is always there. It makes people salivate.

Wow~! What a delicious aroma! Mr. Anluo! What is that? Can food be eaten on skewers? Alice excitedly pointed to the monster meat barbecue stall not far away and couldn't help but ask curiously.

I don't know what kind of meat it is, but it's definitely edible. It's just that if you eat it, you can't take care of your image.

This taste really stimulates the appetite. Really, it makes people want to eat... stare~~

Want to eat?

Yes! I want it very much! Can you buy one for me? Mr. An Luo...

...I will buy you whatever you want, so don't beat around the bush like this, and don't look at me with that pitiful look. Just say it.

Regarding the princess who was looking at him pitifully, and still couldn't let go of her character and still wouldn't make direct requests directly from the beginning, An Luo couldn't help but knock her on the head and walked to the vendor. He paid for a skewer similar to beef and handed it to Alice who was standing aside.

Thank you! Then I'll start, bite~!

Alice observed the passers-by, then opened her small cherry mouth, biting the front end of the skewer, and quickly ate the entire skewer with bright eyes, even showing an intoxicated smile: This is my first time eating something like this!

Well, the cuisine in the royal city pays more attention to health-consciousness and doesn't add too many seasonings.

Can I have another one? Mr. Anluo.

no.

Ugh...Mr. An Luo is really evil...

Don't accuse me like this. I just want to take you to eat something else. There is sauce all over your mouth. Raise your head and I will wipe it for you.

Shaking his head in amusement, An Luo took out a handkerchief, which is more practical in this world, from his pocket and wiped the black sauce on the girl's mouth when she ate.

And this also made the girl who obediently tilted her little head up and let him do whatever he wanted showed a bright expression that could be seen through the hood.

It was this expression that made it difficult for An Luo to even complain. He could only lead the princess to the next vendor.

.

No matter whether the food on this street is delicious or not, basically every kind of it will make this otherworldly princess exclaim.

Just considering the variety of food, while the two were walking around the street, Alice began to be troubled by the pizza that Anluo had just bought, and Anluo understood what she was thinking without her needing to say anything. , casually suggested: If one person eats too much, he will soon be unable to eat. It would be better for two people to share it, so you can eat half and leave the rest to me.

Eh, isn't this bad? The remaining things should be given to Mr. An Luo, wouldn't that mean...

It's okay. It's not a big deal. Do you mind if I eat what you have eaten?

——No, no, there is no such thing!

Alice shook her head very hard, then looked down at the pizza in her hand and planned to take her mouth, but An Luo couldn't help but speak again: Wait, aren't you going to let go first?

You can eat this with one hand.

Although there is nothing wrong with this, isn't it inconvenient?

It's okay! It will be very troublesome if you get lost!

Alice held his hand tightly, rarely showing a very determined attitude, which made An Luo give up caring about this issue.

In this way, the two of them held hands and walked on the streets at night, constantly traveling through the streets and alleys of the city in search of all kinds of food and various games on the night market stalls.

All kinds of unprecedented experiences made Alice more and more excited. The worries that she had at the beginning were gradually put behind her, and she behaved more in line with her age.

At the end of this night trip, An Luo took Alice to the clock tower of the Royal City, overlooking the night view of the city from the bell tower.

The lights on the street are large and small, swaying like twinkling stars. The cold winter air makes the light clearer and makes the night view of the city more touching.

The countless lights that represent the lights of thousands of houses, combined with the countless magic lights on the streets, are so beautiful that people forget to make a sound for a moment, and the cold and dry air is also unknowingly mixed with pure white snowflakes.

Alice excitedly stretched her upper body out of the railing, stretched out her hands to catch the snowflakes, and exclaimed with vivid emotion: Wow~! Mr. Anluo, look, it's snowing, it's snowing!

Yes, yes, I'm watching, and please be careful, you may fall.

I know, Mr. Anluo is really worried. Alice giggled and cast her gaze on the night view of the capital: Sure enough, the capital is so beautiful~! And it's snowing at this time, I'm so lucky, ah , That dark thing over there should be the river, right? Hey, that tall group of light spots in the distance...is it the royal city!

That's right? Well~ I have to say that the scenery is indeed different from a distance.

An Luo followed Alice's fingertips and looked at the scenery around the capital, but it didn't take long for Alice to slowly put down her hand, and quietly turned her head to look at him.

...There are many interesting things outside the castle that I don't know about. Thank you very much for today. Many wonderful things have happened. These are all thanks to you... Really, really thank you. As she spoke, Alice held his hand a little harder.

Why are you so polite now? ...By the way, I almost forgot. Halfway through, An Luo took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to her: This is for you.

Huh? This...

When she noticed that the ring was exactly the same as the one she had given as a gift, the girl's high mood suddenly fell to the bottom. In an instant, she could hardly control herself and was about to cry.

But at this moment, she suddenly noticed that An Luo was still wearing her own ring on her little finger. The mood on her face immediately changed from gloomy to clear, and she whispered with a flushed face: I can really do it. Do you want to accept this?

Of course, it was originally given to you... Although, it should be regarded as an apology to some extent?

Considering that he was about to leave, it would not be good to take Alice's national treasure with him after all, or he was worried that she would be scolded by the king, so An Luo originally planned to return the original item.

But at that time, he just tried it on and put it on his little finger. He didn't know why it couldn't be taken off, but he couldn't chop off his own hand, right? So I could only spend a lot of money to make an identical one in the Scarlet Devil Village and give it back to him.

apologize?

How should I put it...Didn't I take a ring from you? So I'll give you an identical one, well...even though it's just the same on the surface, even though I entrusted the Red Demon Clan to forge the magic item. It is made by a master and contains powerful magic, but its performance is definitely not comparable to that of your national treasure. I didn’t know you...

——I will definitely treat it as the most important treasure!

Before An Luo could finish speaking, Alice had already given an extremely clear answer, and carefully took the ring with both hands, which looked no different from her own, while letting out a strange laugh. Finally, she held the ring in her arms as if it were a rare treasure, and finally looked up at him with the brightest smile she had ever seen:

Thank you, Mr. An Luo~!

.....You are welcome.

The girl's smile made An Luo feel a little mixed, because he realized that he seemed to have made the wrong choice.

.

.

As night fell and it was already early morning, Alice was finally willing to return to the castle.

When An Luo was about to leave as usual, Alice suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and prevented him from leaving.

etc.....!

What's wrong? I'll come again tomorrow.

...Mr. An Luo is from another world, right? So I want to ask... As if she noticed something abnormal from her previous behavior, the girl asked with some trepidation: ... ..When the world becomes peaceful, will you return to your own world?

this......

——Please stay in my country! In order to make Mr. An Luo willing to stay, I will definitely make this country better and work hard! Before An Luo could say anything, Alice said like He tried his best to express his thoughts.

Calm down Alice, I'm not ready to leave yet, and even if I do, I will come back to see you.

I don't want it! Just come to see me occasionally!

Alice...listen to me. Although you are still a child, I think you should understand. Facing the girl who was letting her emotions burst out like a child, An Luo just squatted down. , letting his eyes be level with hers: No one in the world can stay with another person forever. No matter how long people get together, the final outcome is separation, so no matter who they are, they have to learn to face it alone. To what.

I don't want things I don't want! Please teach me more things! Please don't leave me and walk away! I absolutely don't want you to leave, you are my fiancé! You can't leave without my permission, otherwise I will ...!

After saying this excitedly in one breath, the girl finally realized what kind of words she blurted out, so she quickly covered her mouth, lowered her head dejectedly, and apologized in great frustration: ... .I'm sorry...I said something willful, and I obviously shouldn't have been like this...I'm obviously a princess and I can't be coquettish to others, nor should I be so unreasonable...

It's okay Alice, I'm not angry and I won't be angry. It doesn't matter if you don't need to suppress yourself so much in front of me. And I think you should try to live a freer life. Even if you are willful, you should. After all, you You’re only twelve years old, so you’re at an age where you should be a little more willful.”

Facing the girl with tears in her eyes and clutching him tightly, An Luo could only gently stroke her blond hair to comfort her.

Alice smiled as if she was about to cry, leaned forward and pressed her forehead against his: ...No, Mr. Anluo, please don't spoil me. If you are so gentle to me, Maybe I really want to act like a spoiled brat, become willful, and want you to never leave me?

this......

...If I stop suppressing my thoughts, the situation will become very bad. Maybe I will find a way to prevent the world from becoming peaceful. Then Mr. An Luo will become very troubled, right?

....I don't really care about this.

I know.

Well, I don't know what to say, anyway... I'm sorry.

No need to apologize, Mr. An Luo. The girl held his hand with a little more force and said in a softer voice: I... like you the most.

I know, I like you too, Alice.

This is the first time I hate being liked like this.

sorry.

I will not give up.

.....What?

There is no way to break this engagement, and I will never break it. When I grow up, I will definitely let you marry me. The girl seemed not to have received any blow, but her eyes were filled with tears. , with a smile and firm words, declared to him: At that time, I will let you understand that I really like you.

Then...if you haven't changed your mind by then, I will definitely consider it carefully.

.

On this day, An Luo made a promise to the twelve-year-old princess. He found that even though he was still a child, the girl's words sometimes made him shaken.

The wrong thing happened at the wrong time and under the wrong circumstances; the emotions that started from deception are inherently wrong. Therefore, it was a good ending to end without saying goodbye, but the development of the ending was completely out of his control.

Some first loves are destined not to blossom, especially the first love of children, which is destined to be difficult to blossom and bear fruit, because it is only momentary, because a child's first love is blind, irrational, and a moment of confusion.

And he didn't feel that he was indispensable to Alice, because he knew very well that for Alice, he just wanted someone to accompany her, but it just happened that he went to the Royal City and met her at that time.

Lonely children are blind. If you really take advantage of this and do whatever you want, to accept the emotions of children, that would be the most despicable and despised... at least that's what he thinks.

...What expression should I use to see Alice in the future?

An Luo didn't have any confusion about what he should do, but he felt very distressed about what happened before and what happened afterwards. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and carried a bottle of wine to the empty space. On the rooftop, I leaned against the guardrail and looked at the cloudless night sky with an indescribable melancholy.

Different from the cloudy and snowy scenery of the royal capital, the sky in Axel City is extremely clear and looks like a bottomless pit.

Just looking at that patch of sky can make the body immersed in the feeling of falling continuously in the darkness. It is extremely vast and dark, and even fully feels the insignificance of oneself.

But the inquiry while looking at the sky did not last long. After drinking the wine, he went to the homes of nearby human nobles based on the information given by Barnier, and purged the harmful nobles in the future at once... ..The future is not invisible to the demon who sees through it, and therefore there is no innocence.

The guards of the nobles were unable to reach the attack of a mobile natural disaster, even those who were not at home. They were all cleaned up in the early morning and their property was looted.

The next day.

There was turmoil in the entire kingdom, because about a third of the nobles, including the lords who managed the nearby city of Axel, Alexei Banes Aldap, were all under the finger of death by An Luo. Among them were some noble heirs, because those people were also judged by Barnier to be harmful, so An Luo was asked to deal with them together.

Even their souls were torn apart, so it was naturally impossible for them to be resurrected by the high priest. In the true sense, even gods descending to earth could not save them.

And it was in this early morning that the forefront of the Demon King's army also received seven people, including Anluo, Shilopen, Weiss, Beldia, Barnier, Warbuck, and Sylvia, one brave and one brave. A letter of advice jointly issued by the Crimson Demon Clan leader and five Demon King Army cadres.

Both sides were asked to negotiate in the center of the battlefield, and those who refused would be attacked by them and their men in conjunction with the other side.

.

.

The center of the battlefield at noon.

Before the agreed time, An Luo and other people who signed the contract arrived first.
