The appearance of the floating city "Ayn Grant" is more like a giant pyramid made of discs stacked on top of each other.

Among them, the lowest floor is the largest, and more than 90% of the population of the entire "Al Ayn Grant" is concentrated.

Originally, there were many countries in the first layer, but due to the curse left by the "Demon King" hundreds of years ago, those weak and small countries have been annihilated in the long river of history one after another, and in the end, only seven countries with the strongest military strength remain.

This was the predecessor of the Seven Shields Alliance.

Originally, these seven countries were just an alliance to help each other, but with several sudden monster girl tides, the seven countries realized that if they continued to act separately like this, they were afraid that it would be difficult for any country to preserve, so they officially merged into one country after a hundred years of alliance.

At this point, the entire human kingdom of "Ayn Grant" has entered a period of unification, and except for a small group of bandits who have fallen into the grass, there is basically no longer any external threat from humans.

It is precisely because of this "peace" that has lasted for hundreds of years that the Seven Shields Alliance attaches more importance to military aspects and tends to pursue individual strength, while the defense of the city is lax to the extreme.

But if you think about it, you can understand that a small group of bandits don't dare to attack a city garrisoned by regular troops, and the monster mother is attacking the city with great fanfare, and I can't wait to find the migration of the wolf smoke group from a few miles away, and arranging such a tight defense has no substantive meaning at all except for causing the nervousness of the citizens.

In such a general atmosphere of laxity, it is natural not to expect that the so-called military training will be so rigorous.

Several instructors who seemed to be officers were like giving a big lesson, and after explaining and demonstrating the use of various weapons and the key points of battle to the traversers present, they gave up the venue and let the traversers practice on their own.

After stabbing at the training scarecrow for more than ten minutes, Asuna, who was sweating profusely, walked to the edge of the training ground and sat down next to Luo Jie.

Luo Jie put down the "Monster Illustrated Book" in his hand, smiled and handed over a bamboo kettle.

"Drink some water."

Asuna unscrewed the lid of the cup and sniffed it deliberately, jokingly, "Dire-kun, you didn't secretly put anything strange in it, did you?" ”

"If salt is a strange thing, then I did put a little bit of it."

Asuna wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and smiled brightly.

"Dire-kun is really careful, I didn't even remember to ask the innkeeper for some salt when I came out......"

Although Asuna did not practice martial arts since childhood like Gui Yanye, she usually exercised and fit, so even if she was very thirsty, she did not let go of the cow drink like the other traversers, but took a small sip with great restraint.

At this moment, Gui Yanye, who had finished practicing, also walked over from the venue.

Her original weapon had been lost, and she was now carrying a free training wooden knife.

"Come, Yan Ye, seeing that you are sweating so much, drink some water."

Asuna hurriedly took the wooden sword in Gui Yanye's hand and handed over another kettle.

"Thank you." Gui Yanye smiled softly and took the kettle with both hands.

Luo Jie raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Uh...... I drank that pot of water. ”

"Poof——!

As soon as he took a sip of Guiyan Ye, he sprayed Asuna on the opposite side with water all over his face, and hurriedly apologized while helping Asuna wipe her face and body.

"Dire-kun, you did it on purpose, right?"

Asuna stared at Luo Jie with a resentful expression, she had just seen that the kettle from which Luo Jie drank water was another one.

Luo Jie still couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a joke with Yan Ye, but I didn't expect to cause accidental injury......"

"Dire-kun! You've gone too far! I'm embarrassed to laugh! People's clothes are soaked! ”

Asuna was ashamed and annoyed, covering the shirt that had revealed the undertone of the hood with one hand, and wielding a wooden sword with the other, chasing Luo Jie up and down all over the field, attracting the attention of countless traversers.

Gui Yanye, who was standing in place, was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help but snort and chuckled.

"Sister Asuna and Dire-kun, they're two nice people......"

……

Although Luo Jie is only a spiritual player, he can have a physique that is three times the limit of ordinary humans, and for Asuna, who is just an ordinary girl, she is a tireless physical monster at all.

After chasing and fighting for a few minutes, Asuna finally couldn't run, holding her knees and panting, staring at Luo Jie in front of her with a look of resentment, and then she didn't know what she remembered, and she couldn't help laughing.

After the morning's training, the traversers, whose physical strength had been exhausted, supported each other, endured the pain in the muscles of their bodies, and limped back to their respective inns where they were resting.

However, Luo Jie did not return with Asuna and Gui Yanye, but found a soldier at the gate of the barracks and showed the [Iris Badge].

The soldier naturally recognized that this was a token of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and immediately put away his previous contemptuous attitude, asked someone to bring two horses, and led Luo Jie all the way to the gate of the palace located in the middle of the city.

After revealing the token again, a maid led Luo Ring into the palace and ushered him into a lavishly decorated living room.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia has just returned from the barracks and is bathing upstairs at the moment, please wait here for a while...... If you need anything, you can ring the bell at hand, and a servant will be there for you. ”

After speaking, the maid poured a cup of hot tea for Luo Jie, bowed and exited the living room.

The little golden retriever in the carry-on bag snorted a few times, probably hearing the word "bath", Luo Jie smiled and took her out of it, picked up the exquisite small refreshments on the table, broke them into small pieces and fed them to her mouth one by one.

"Huh? Is that a puppy? ”

A little girl's voice as sweet as honey and obviously with a hint of childishness came into Luo Jie's ears, and he looked up to follow the sound, only to see a small head with long pink hair poking out from the corner of the corridor on the first floor.

Seeing that Luo Jie had discovered her, the little girl was not timid, and came to him generously, holding the corners of her skirt with both hands and giving a ladylike salute, and introduced herself: "Hello brave from the other world, I am the second royal daughter of the Seven Shields Alliance "Prim", welcome to this world as a guest. ”

Luo Jie had heard from the mouths of the aborigines before that there were two princesses in the Seven Shields Alliance, of which the eldest princess was the most respected by the military, and the little princess was the most loved by the civilians.

"You're the princess of the flower moon?"

He was a little surprised, because it was said that this little princess was sixteen years old this year, and the little girl in front of him was just an eleven or twelve-year-old little Lori except for her breasts, which was the size of a sixteen-year-old on her chest.

"You mean my body?" This pitiful-looking little Lori understood Luo Jie's doubts very well, and said with a little loss: "I was not in very good health when I was a child, and the doctor said that I might not be able to live past the age of 20, so the queen mother begged the high priest sister to cast a magic spell for me, slowing down my growth rate, but the price is that I can't take up arms to fight for the country and the people like my sister, and I can't even do a little more strenuous exercise......"

"I'm sorry."

"Nothing, I've got a lot more than those civilian kids who are just as sick as me." The pink-haired little Lori didn't seem to want to talk about her condition anymore, so she turned the topic to the little golden retriever in Luo Jie's hand, and said curiously: "There are puppies in our world, but I have never seen this kind of shiny golden hair, a bit like the color of the hair of the high priest's sister...... Can I touch it? ”

"Uh......"

If this little golden retriever is a real dog, Luo Jie naturally doesn't mind coaxing children, but the problem is not Shizuka Jukawa...... He can't forget the mysterious embarrassment when Poison Island Hinzo looked at his mother and mother with his tail upside down.

"Prim, have you forgotten what the doctor said? Why don't you go back to your room yet! ”

Just as Luo Jie was hesitating, a stern voice came from above, and the eldest princess "Alicia", who had been seen in the square, lifted the corner of her skirt and walked down the stairs with a serious and dignified expression.
