The attendant girl sighed.

“Besides, isn’t that kind of dramatic character closer to a lover than a good rival? Miss Illitia doesn’t have any fighting ability, so how could she…”

“Good opponent!”

“what?”

The brown-haired girl followed Alice’s finger and looked somewhere.

The boy with black hair and red eyes rubbed his face and walked out of the men’s bathroom exit, meeting their eyes.

【414】Let’s do something good

After finding a place where people seemed to be gathered, Alcaide was taken to the bathroom by a man who looked very busy.

“Take these changes of clothes and go take a quick shower. There may not be enough water, so wash quickly. Also, although I told you to wash quickly, you must wash thoroughly. Some people say that those plants can emit spores that can turn people into monsters.”

“Who said that?”

“He’s an unknown guest, but he’s said to have come from an area that had experienced a major epidemic. He also volunteered to provide financial assistance in order to help more people. So… huh? Come to think of it, you and him look a lot alike?”

“Are they similar?”

“It seems that the only difference is the eyes. That one has pale blue eyes… But I don’t think I can see his face clearly? Strange, it shouldn’t be… Anyway, you should go take a shower quickly. I still have to make arrangements for the other victims.”

As a result, Alcaide took a good bath.

What surprised him was that although the other party looked very busy, there were not many people in the bathroom.

He finished washing at a rather slow pace and no one came to urge him.

Until he walked out of the bathroom and saw a pair of young girls.

One was wearing a long dress with a white base, a red hem and floral patterns, and the other was wearing a maid outfit.

The girl in the white dress had long golden hair that didn’t completely cover up her fair back. While Alcade was thinking that the dress was probably backless, something that didn’t even need to be thought about and was meaningless, he found himself making eye contact with the other person who had turned around at some point.

The long golden hair has a gorgeous luster.

The beautiful face has a majestic expression, ruby-like eyes, a straight and cute nose, and healthy cherry lips…

She is well-developed, and judging from her physique, she should have a healthy diet. The fullness of her bust shows that she has good family genes, and her skin and hair quality reflect the care she takes. But her eyes are a little cold, and she seems like the type that’s not easy to approach.

Using the various standards that he had used to judge passers-by on the street with a man, Alcaide made a subjective first impression of the girl who was looking at him, and then he heard the other party calling his [name].

“Good opponent! Arcaid! Come here, don’t pretend you don’t know me!”

To be honest, he felt a little strange when some strangers called him Arcade. In his impression, this name was mentioned by Yang Wuqu when he introduced himself to his foreign friends, and it seemed to have become his English name somehow.

However, there should be not many people who know this, but it seems to have become his real name that replaced [Po Jun].

He felt a little unhappy.

With the simple mentality of telling others how unhappy you are, he said in his most unfriendly tone (a tone without emotion): “What’s the matter?”

The girl jumped up happily, walked quickly to his side, turned around and said to the brown-haired girl in maid clothes: “Look, isn’t the good opponent I just talked about here? Moreover, it seems like fate that we meet again after such a long time. His eyes, expression and tone are exactly the same as before! It is obvious that he has not forgotten me as his good opponent!”

No, no matter how you look at it, it’s like you’ve met a strange stranger’s gaze.

No, I don’t know you at all.

However, neither Phosphorus nor Arcaid were able to convey their inner thoughts to the princess who was herself.

“Hehe – it’s a rare opportunity to meet again, let’s have a holy war after a long absence!”

“Holy war… Do you mean a duel? Lady Alice, please forgive me for being blunt, but rather than doing that, appeasing the people might be something more worthwhile for you to do right now.”

“But hasn’t someone already done this? There are also kind people who provide relief supplies for free, and many people are sent out to organize the people to spontaneously build temporary residences to replace those whose houses have been destroyed. Rather than interfering in this matter that has already started to run on its own, it is better to fight Arcade while the battlefield has not been cleaned up.”

Alice said as a matter of course.

When they just arrived here, they found that some kind-hearted people had helped to establish a self-help organization for the people, set up search and rescue teams and temporary camps in an orderly manner, arranged for many people to take a bath, and distributed reasonable temporary supplies.

Since the situation was so perfect that an inexperienced layman like her could not find any room to intervene, she chose to take a shower after confirming that Xudora had not taken any action yet and the management and administrative staff here were too busy rescuing some documents to pay attention to them.

Alice had been prepared to appear rather disheveled when commanding a disaster site for the first time, but she had not expected Erkatoz to act so appropriately, even arranging a private bathing spot for them.

Correction: Because of concerns that houses covered with large areas of unknown plants may pose certain hidden dangers, many buildings here, including many here, are actually avoided by most people.

“Coming?”

Looking at the blonde girl’s eager eyes, Alcade found it difficult to describe his feelings.

First of all, he definitely doesn’t want to fight with the other party.

It’s not that they can’t win or don’t want to bully women. The Yang family has passed down the family rules of not fearing strong enemies and gender equality since the Republic of China period.

But he felt that it was better not to do anything extreme before he figured out why his body was growing.

My father had once allowed me to temporarily transfer my soul and let me use a fully grown clone of myself. It is possible that the situation now is the same as it was then.

Also, I didn’t understand why I could communicate with people fluently even though I was speaking a language other than Chinese.

Alcade struggled in the shower, wondering whether to just ignore everything and have a good time or to find out why all this happened.

After having a great time in the public bath, he naturally made the choice that a mature man would make at the moment.

“A duel… can only be a fight?”

“Eh? If it’s not a fight… it’s not impossible, as long as there is a winner.”

“Then… let’s see who can help more people.”

Get in touch with more people first, and then get the information you need from their conversations.

This is the impact of a man’s advanced education on a three-year-old.

“People may be wary of those who help them for free, but they will at least relax their vigilance when they are willing to help when they are in trouble. At this time, you can learn from your father and do some good deeds, and then use your own eyes and ears to listen and see during this period.”

It’s not the kind of help that a father gives out of kindness and duty, but he has his own purpose. But it’s still a win-win situation.

【415】The Witch’s Voice Calling the Knight

“What are you talking about? Lady Alice is a princess, how can you do the kind of work that servants do?”

Phosphorus couldn’t help but glare.

Princess…what is it?

Alcade looked at the other person quietly, his puzzled eyes and his somewhat arrogant face revealed a sense of oppression.

Although he was just embarrassed to ask this question, it seemed to Phosphorus that the other party was looking at her with a mocking look.

As a rare all-rounder among his peers and Alice Rie’s most trusted subordinate, Rin Bisboz would naturally not be angered by a provocative look.

“You guy-“

The maid girl, who had an airport at a young age, walked quickly towards him, and her pretty face was raised so that her breath blew on his face.

Because the opponent had no intention of killing but had stepped into his killing distance, Alcade was hesitant about what to do.

“If you want to compete, let me fight on your behalf!”

“Eh?”

“?”

“It is the duty of a subordinate to handle trivial matters that are not appropriate for the master. What do you think? Do you dare?”

But it seemed like she was the one who said she wanted to duel, why did it become you instead?

Alcaide’s not very efficient logic processing CPU was burning, and in the end he gave a high-quality answer.

“…I don’t mind.”

“what?”

Alice made a strange sound.

Thus, the inexplicable competition began.

……

In the bathroom, Ilitia sat somewhat weakly.

If we go back a week or two, she would have naturally not reacted to the burden of riding a phoenix, as her body had already been transformed to a non-human level by the Star Disaster. Instead, she would have been troubled by the need to disguise herself in front of her sister.

Unfortunately, in recent days, her physical changes seem to have reached a critical point.

Ilitia could feel the surging power in her body lurking like a hungry beast, trying to transform her into another form.

Witch’s pose.

It was a figure as magnificent yet ominous as liquid flame, a foreign object born from the fusion of disaster and star spirit, and the great terror itself that terrified everyone who witnessed it.

The last time, she underwent an uncontrolled transformation in the Star Tower. Fortunately, she reacted in time and the Star Tower was spacious enough. She hid in a deserted place and no one saw her like that.

But there are hidden dangers. Illitia’s youngest sister possesses the highest level of Lamp Star Spirit.

It is a star spirit that is capable of recreating the events of the past 300 years within a 20-meter radius centered on itself.

Even in the rarest Protoss systems, this type of Protoss that interferes with time and space is an absolutely rare type.

Based on Illitia’s understanding of her sister, the child must be holding back.

But for the child who spent most of her time in the Star Tower, it wouldn’t be surprising if she noticed her transformation.

When she thought of this possible hidden danger, Illytia felt that something in her body was becoming more and more restless.

My vision began to blur, my thinking became slow, my body didn’t feel hot or cold, but I felt empty as if I had lost my senses and couldn’t feel anything.

Suddenly, she recalled the past.

That was during her first expedition with Arcaid, and it was also the only time someone accompanied her in facing difficulties.

……

In an off-road vehicle that places more emphasis on endurance and load-carrying capacity than appearance, Ilitia sat in the passenger seat, looking at the moving scenery outside the window.

She has always been surrounded by people who do not recognize her.

Neither the retainers nor the outsiders, not even her mother and sisters, saw her as a princess who could become the queen.

She felt unreal being alone with a man of the opposite sex who fully understood the knowledge of the Protoss and the ideas of the Imperial Court, but did not look at her the same way as those people did.

“Arcade.”

There was nothing she wanted to say, she just said the other person’s name unintentionally.

“I’m here.”

As usual, the man’s calm but reassuring response came.

From the reflection of the car window, Ilitia could see the corners of her mouth gradually curling up.

“Arcade.”

“I’m here.”

“Arcade.”

“I’m here.”

“Arcade.”

“I’m here.”

Like a lonely girl playing with a new toy, or praying for someone to respond to her, Ilitia would call the other person’s name almost every once in a while.

And that man responded to her again and again without getting tired of it.

“I can help you with most anything I can.”

That was the promise the man made when he agreed to become her subordinate.

It was not some grand promise, nor any affectionate confession.

From her offer to help her become the queen, to her sudden suggestion of “don’t be impatient when I call you” during her etiquette training, this man had indeed kept his original promise very well.

Ilitia forgot in which literary work she had seen such a description, which roughly meant that the most long-lasting confession of love is a promise, and the deepest love is that no matter how many times you call, your lover will never tire of responding to you in the same tone.

At that moment, Ilitia felt her face burning when she recalled that description.

“Why are you blushing?”
