(Thanks to the reward of 'Daoguang Buddha' children's shoes~)

――――――――――

The weather was sunny and cloudless.

On his second day at the Tower of Paradise, Arthur was woken up by the loud voices of the abominable guards.

The whip whipped the air, and the loud sonic boom made the teenagers present startled their hearts, woke up from their dreams, rubbed their eyes, and walked out of the cave one by one with a hint of fear of pain.

Arthur opened his eyes and squinted slightly at the light shining in from outside.

In the summer, it's really early in the morning......

"Hurry up and wash up and eat, there's no time for you guys to waste!"

A scolding sound came from the side, causing Arthur's brow to furrow slightly.

Sighing, feeling that his mental exhaustion had dissipated a lot, Arthur stood up, came to Gerald and the others, picked up the simple washing tools issued by the people of the Dark Arts Order, and began to brush his teeth and face.

Luckily, the guys also seemed to feel unbearably dirty, and although the food was unpalatable and the portions were small, they didn't deduct much from cleanliness.

It was hard for Arthur to imagine that in such a place, he could not take a shower while doing hard work and sweating every day...... What does that feel like? I guess it's going to drive people crazy.

"Hurry up, Arthur, if you don't, those guys won't be kind enough to give us more time."

While Arthur was in a daze, Gerald patted him and handed him a piece of bread and water.

Arthur came back to his senses, glanced at Gerald, and smiled, "Thank you." ”

Taking the food the boy had brought him, Arthur took a bite.

Sure enough, it's still the kind of bad food that makes people uncomfortable, but if it's when you're hungry, even if it's such food, it's unusually sweet to eat.

After taking two sips of his own food, Arthur took several gulps of water to remove the dryness in his mouth.

"Arthur!"

At this time, a girl's crisp shout suddenly came from behind him.

The long crimson hair fluttered in the breeze, and the girl who had just washed her face was no longer the dust she had at the beginning, and she had a pretty white and flawless face, with a smile, and she was a perfect little Lori.

is worthy of being the girl who later won the most beautiful magician, and she really has this kind of heart-warming capital since she was a child.

Turning his head, even though he had long been mentally prepared for the girl's beauty, at this moment, Arthur was still a little sluggish.

Of course, it's only for a short time.

"Gerald, Arthur!"

Several voices sounded one after another, and a group of teenagers and girls who had just become friends yesterday gathered here at this moment.

Their eyes met and everyone nodded.

From now on, it's time to escape the big battle.

"Hurry up and get to work, you scumbags, what are you stealing here!"

The guards' shouts rang out again, causing the teenagers present to frown slightly, and a feeling of disgust arose in their hearts at the same time.

"Arthur......" Gerald looked at Arthur.

"Gerald, you go over there with them, and I'll be with Elusa and Miriana."

Before Gerald could speak, Arthur came up with his own idea.

Gerald was stunned for a moment, looked at the two girls in the team, and immediately understood Arthur's thoughts.

Here, the oldest and strongest physical strength is Arthur, and the weakest physical strength is undoubtedly the two girls, so it is undoubtedly a good decision to let Arthur and the two girls take care of each other.

"I see, Arthur."

Nodding heavily at Arthur, the boy turned back to the other teenagers and walked to the other side.

Looking at his back, Arthur smiled softly.

Turning his head and looking at the two girls behind him, Arthur nodded to them: "Then, let's go too." ”

"Hmm~!"

The two girls nodded heavily.

Regardless of Miriana's thoughts, at least Elusa had a little joy in her heart at the moment, and she was a little happy to be with Arthur.

The girl didn't know why she was happy, but in short, there was an extremely reassuring feeling to be able to see Arthur and be able to stand beside him.

This feeling...... Very comfortable.

Arthur naturally didn't understand the little girl's mind.

In his opinion, he still has a long way to go before he can conquer Elusa.

Although the most important first step has been taken, it is only the seed of goodwill that has been planted in the young queen's heart, and the next two things are to let this seed germinate.

The first thing is to support each other during this period of hard work.

Affection grows slowly through close contact, which is why Arthur did not hesitate to become a slave and keep Elusa by his side.

Originally, it should have been another blue-haired teenager standing next to this girl.

But now......

Arthur looked at the girl with her head bowed over there and smiled softly.

"Help pick up the rubble, Elusa and Miriana."

"Hmm."

"No problem, Big Brother Arthur~"

Compared with the somewhat introverted queen, the cheerful Miliana is naturally much more lively.

Winking at Arthur, the girl picked up Elusa next to her and went to the side to carry some small stones.

Arthur, on the other hand, pushes two wheelbarrows and easily lifts large blocks of stone on the ground and puts them into the transport cart.

This level of physical labor was too easy for him.

Looking at the Tower of Paradise in the distance, which had just begun to be built, Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Forbidden magic that can resurrect the dead?" Whispering, Arthur thought for a moment.

It seems that in the lower universe, there is nothing to be desired.

This magic, called 'Miracle', is slightly different from the magic Arthur knew.

Maybe in terms of destructive power, the magic here is not as good as the kind of magic he knows, but in other ways, it seems to stand out.

"Everyone has a 'miracle' in their body, I wonder if I have one?" Arthur looked at his left hand.

The sword pattern on the back of his hand flashed with a golden light, as if answering his question.

Marvel?

Are there still fewer miracles in Arthur?

Laughing lightly and clenching his left hand, Arthur no longer thought about it, but pretended to be an ordinary coolie, and did his work in peace.

Soon, the day passed.

Night fell again, and the tired teenagers carried their tired bodies back to the cave.

"How's it going?"

"It's not going very well."

"Take your time, we're just getting started."

Gerald comforted his tired companions, and the young man had a gentle smile on his face, which lifted the spirits of everyone who saw it.

The original feeling of fatigue has also dissipated a little.

"Can you take a shower today, do you want to relax?"

Arthur came up with such an idea, and the boys' eyes lit up.

"When I say that, I feel slimy all over my body, and it's really uncomfortable." Wally sniffed his nose and suddenly looked uncomfortable.

The sour smell in the air, which I didn't feel very much, was reminded by Arthur, and it was immediately unbearable.

"That's right, that's right~" Miliana covered her nose and raised her hands in agreement, "Let's go take a shower together~"

"One...... Rise? Simon looked at Miliana and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Are you sure?" Miliana? ”

"Uh......" Miliana was stunned, looked at the other party, and then at herself.

The girl suddenly remembered that she was a girl.

A blush suddenly stained her cheeks, and Miliana and Elusa on the other side glanced at each other.

"Also, let's go first......" Elusa smiled awkwardly, her face flushed, indescribably cute.

This rare scene made Arthur suddenly feel the urge to take out his camera and take a picture.

The shy and embarrassed queen, sure enough, only in this Lori state, will appear.

Thinking of the handsome and dashing queen in the future, Arthur shrugged his shoulders and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Hahaha, Arthur, let's go first." Gerald laughed twice and looked at Arthur.

At the same time, the eyes of the others were also looking at Arthur.

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Let's go." ”
