Some salty sea breezes blow in your face, and seabirds skim the water. Looking into the distance, you can see the vast horizon connecting the sky and the sea.

The harbour city of Regeria continues to be the cradle of life, with ships moored along the shore gently swaying above the snow-white waves, and the shouts of sailors echoing the whirring of sails.

If you look closely, you can see a petite figure standing in an unlikely place—at the top of the towering mast of a fishing boat.

It was a very beautiful young girl, and I don't know how she got there. I saw that she was facing the direction of the sea, letting her short peach-blonde hair blow away, and her jewel-like eyes were looking at the sea level in the distance, revealing a look of intoxicating expectation.

In that picturesque scene, the girl's two delicate cherry lips gently opened and closed, leaking out the pure desire of her heart-

"I'll you...... After looking for a long time, where is the grilled squid sold? ”

Fortunately, she stood tall and the wind was strong, and no one heard Alice's line that spoiled the atmosphere.

The last time I came here, I didn't have time to stay because of the time constraints, but this time Alice revisited the old place, full of longing to taste some seafood snacks and relive the beautiful memories of her past life. After all, there is no chance to eat high-priced seafood fish in [Silia].

Although squid itself was not a high-end ingredient on Earth in the previous life, it was a recipe full of feelings for Alice. You must know that in the eyes of the majority of students, squid, chicken steak, crispy chicken, and finger cakes can be said to have a stable status like the four heavenly kings......

In particular, grilled squid was the favorite of the 'boys' in her previous life, and Alice couldn't suppress the eagerness in her heart when she recalled the sound of the sizzling sound on the iron plate, the aroma of soy sauce and cumin.

When she came to [Regerdia] before, Alice did smell a similar fragrance, but she couldn't find the grilled squid when she walked around the city today, which couldn't help but fill her heart with regret.

"Alice——!! what the hell are you doing there——!! come down quickly——!!"

From under the mast, there was a shout that sounded unpleasant, and he looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw on the shore a little girl dressed as a maid raising her head and shouting.

"Haaa......"

Alice sighed, jumped over, and fell down from the mast, which was dozens of meters high. Pedestrians who noticed this scene let out exclamations in disbelief. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, this act of the girl, which is undoubtedly suicidal.

But to everyone's surprise (except the little maid), Alice ran down the mast vertically, and when she had reached a certain height, she leaped and leaped, and after several weeks of churning like a light feather, she landed firmly on the ground, without even raising a trace of dust.

Probably thinking that this was some kind of stunt performance, there was warm applause all around. This made Alice get carried away.

The skill [Light Skill] has really played its excellent effect, and for Alice, as long as there is a place for her to step on, it is enough for her to fly through the ground as if she were walking on the ground. Although, in terms of speed, it is not comparable to his sister Sophia.

"Don't fish in troubled waters, don't think about slipping away again, do what you need to do!"

The little maid of the anxious child grabbed Alice who had just landed, and in order to prevent her from escaping again, this time she grabbed her entire arm with her body.

In the eyes of others, it looks like a pretty little maid, trying to bring home the naughty aristocratic lady who has escaped.

"Ho, I can't see it, John, your methods are quite strong, hey, you will definitely be a master of flirting with girls when you grow up. ”

Alice made a beautiful counter-grappling and broke free from John's grasp, but instead of running away, she raised her arms and put her arms around the maid's shoulders—

That said, Alice's movements are not the bewitching postures of girls, but like the adventurers who hook up with their good brothers in the wine field.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very pleasing to girls. There are other sayings, such as Hunting Beauty?"

"I don't understand what you're saying, anyway, I'm going to the Lord's Mansion, let's go, don't be rubbing. Daddy, they're still waiting for us outside the city!"

"Oh, don't worry, it's still early...... Speaking of which, Mr. John, when did you become so rigid? Elementary school students should look like elementary school students, you are only seven years old, you don't need to be so serious. Seize the opportunity and let's explore the city and have some fun!"

Maybe it's the vast ocean that fills Alice with her adventurous spirit, or maybe it's her sister Eliza's long-standing mischievous spirit that infects her, or maybe Alice isn't completely dead set on exploring grilled squid.

In short, under this blue sky, the harbor capital that makes people feel refreshed, makes Alice can't help but seem excited, just thinking about indulging, and not planning to do anything serious at all.

"Hmph...... Don't always treat me like a child, I'm already a man!"

The pretty boy dressed as a maid said this with a coquettish look. The cute and touching expression is really in stark contrast to the content of the words.

"Oh, the boy is very good at talking. Then, as a teacher, I will give you a debut problem. If you can overcome it, I will admit that you are a qualified man. ”

"Let the horses come!"

John was straight, and immediately took the bait without saying a word, which made Alice laugh secretly in her heart: Young man, you are still too clear after all.

"Well, listen to John, the so-called qualified man, at least ten girls in crisis must be saved - but you are still only half-, so I will help you make a discount, count five. Anyway, in the three hours from now until noon, you have to help five girls out of their predicament and get them to say 'thank you' from the bottom of their hearts!"

"That's it?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate the difficulty of this task...... With your kid's current ability, this is not easy at all ......! Listen, the so-called pleasure of helping others is not something that can be solved by brute force. It is necessary to conduct a complete analysis and judgment of the situation, think carefully from the other party's point of view, and truly understand what the other party needs, not to mention - girls have a delicate heart, as sensitive and fragile as glass, and they need to be handled with care......"

In fact, Alice didn't even know what she was talking about, she just closed her eyes and opened her mouth to give this game-like trial.

Alice's original intention was just to let John wander around and help a few little girls who fell, got lost, or were bullied...... She took it for granted that after all, such a big city, if she looked carefully, she would definitely be able to find a few of them if she looked carefully.

With John's strengthened leg strength, it is estimated that three hours will be about the same as running the entire city. When the time comes, whether he completes the task or not, it will not matter to Alice.

So she didn't think deeply about the content of the mission and the possible situation at all, she just wanted to get this brainless apprentice away from her side as soon as possible.

"I see, I don't know what glass is, but girls are delicate in their hearts...... So, Alice, you're not a girl?"

"Looking for a beating, stinky boy......"

These words blurted out almost reflexively, but after thinking about it, the 'boy' in his previous life was a man, and it seemed that there was no need to worry about it, so Alice suppressed the anger in her chest, "Forget it, cough ——! anyway, I will watch all your actions in secret...... Ah yes, one more thing to remember, in this operation, you must not use the power of [Luna Armor], and all problems are solved by your own strength, using your brains and hands. Got it?"

Finally, Alice added as if something had suddenly occurred to her. You know, after all, using [Luna Armor] is equivalent to Ultraman's transformation, and relying on its plug-in general mobility will greatly shorten the time it takes John to travel around the city. This has to be limited......

"That's what I want, you wait for Alice! I'm going to prove that I'm a man!"

Therefore, it is not convincing at all to say this in a delicate maid's skirt, with a ponytail and a cute face half red.

However, seeing John's back holding up the maid's skirt and running away along the rocky street of the harbor, Alice just said to herself, "Come on boy, I'll continue to find my grilled squid...... Grilled squid, where are you feeding——!!"

---------------------

In the shadow of the wooden box on the shore of the harbor, a tanned child of about ten years old was secretly watching the sailor carry the cargo onto the hold with sharp eyes.

The child's face was very nervous, and his clenched little hands were soaked with sweat from his palms. His legs trembled slightly, and the child told himself not to hurry, that he had to wait, that he would dive into the cabin of the sailors while they let their guard down......

The cargo ship in front of him was an ocean-going cargo ship bound for China, and the sailors on board were all foreign men with dangerous appearances. Normally, a cargo ship like this will be filled with some 'unclean' cargo that has been smuggled abroad.

At this moment, the children's target is the mysterious goods that have been moved into the warehouse...... Most of the sailors were armed, and from a physical point of view, their fighting ability was definitely not to be underestimated, at least not by their ten-year-old self, and if they were discovered, the consequences could be unimaginable.

But the child did not give up, and although he was afraid, he forced himself to do something...... That's right, I had to take a risk, because, in those boxes were-

"Hey, woman, you look like you're in trouble, do you need help?"

At this juncture, such a greeting suddenly appeared behind him, causing the concentrated child to jump up from the spot in fright, and almost let out a scream.

When I turned around, I saw a little girl who was younger than me and had an unusually pretty appearance, wearing a neat maid outfit, and I don't know when she was half-squatting behind her.
