As if her body was rusty, and without the slightest strength, Alice leaned against the ashlar wall of the windmill tower, staring blankly at the riverside that seemed to be dyed bright red by the setting sun. In the past few days, whether it is drizzling rain or clear skies, Alice has been hiding here, her heart is covered with haze, and her lovely face cannot find the vitality of the past.

I remember that in my previous life, the 'boy' once played a classic strategy game of war chess, and the game has another classic setting, that is, there is no way to resurrect dead companions. No matter how much effort or time you expend, if you lose a battle, this character will disappear from your list of strikes forever.

It seems to be a rather impersonal setting, but it is very realistic ......

That's right, you can't be resurrected after death. If it's a game, you may be able to save it again, but in reality, there is no save point, and one wrong step will cause irreparable results.

In just one day, Charlie died, Hilda was kidnapped, and the sisters had a big quarrel, and after recalling carefully, the reason why they were in such a predicament can be said to be all their own responsibility.

Hosting an earth-shattering wedding for Raki and her father may sound like a lot of filial piety, but in fact it's just to satisfy her own playfulness. I felt that as a crossing dragon arrogant, I had to do something unusual. So complicate what was originally simple.

Later, because of his half-hung sympathy and desire to pretend to be forced in front of his disciples, he made a big news and made an inexplicable alliance, pushing his father and sisters to the forefront. As a result, as the daughter of a rural landowner, she unwittingly angered the imperial government elite and offended the largest religious faction.

With a lazy attitude of imminent incurre, he simply messed around, but never thought about the consequences and the plan for the end, but just groundlessly believed that things would always develop in the direction of expectations, and his own pretending to be forced would be smooth sailing.

If you want to ask Alice, where does this inexplicable self-confidence come from? As the protagonist of the crossing system, she has obtained the general power of the whole body plug-in very naturally. However, this force betrayed itself not so long ago...... The result of being too confident was Charlie's death.

After that day, Alice hadn't been to the practice square for several days, because she didn't know how to face her disciple John. After all, his own naivety and arrogance took his father's life. Thinking of Charlie's last words, there is no doubt that they are the lines spoken by the character he played in the small movie not long ago.

- That stupid uncle actually said the death flag......

In other words, in every way, it was he who killed Charlie. What's more, from the very beginning, taking John as an apprentice was just for fun, and even forced a boy with super self-esteem to wear a cute maid costume and dress him up in a nondescript manner......

"Okay...... I'm such a hopeless rotten person......"

After this series of events, Alice also knows that even if she has been relying on the traversal plug-in, it is not an invincible ability. Even the usual trick of "poison" is enough to put yourself in danger. Although after this, she learned a new skill of how to use vindictive energy to force toxins out of her blood.

However, this is not the core of the problem, because through this incident, it is enough to prove that in this world where magic is rampant, if you want to kill yourself, in addition to poison, I am afraid that there are many wonderful methods that you can't even imagine.

Perhaps every method has its own way of dealing with it, but it is often too late to wait for the harm to be experienced before looking for a solution. The real 'battle' is really different from the game, and it's okay if the opponent is a monster that doesn't have the wisdom to go wild, but in the face of smart and cunning humans...... Alice can't be sure that she will be toyed with by the enemy. After all, she is still a little self-aware of her not-so-smart brain.

What's more, the demonic beasts around Celia have also undergone incredible changes. The results of the guards' investigation of the surrounding area over the past few days have shown that the Monster has evolved. Not only have they become difficult to deal with, but they have acquired the discipline and intelligence of humans. It seems that the 'Gargoyle Samurai' that struck him before was not a coincidence, but the surrounding natural environment, which for some reason has indeed become more dangerous.

Sum up...... If you want to pretend to be forced in this world, with just Alice's combat effectiveness, it is far from qualified.

Think about it, the reason why the little sister Sophia will fight herself may also be to warn herself about this. At that time, Xiaomei's murderous aura was not mixed with water, at least Alice had no way to seriously deal with her relatives anyway. Not to mention relatives, even in the face of enemies with clear malicious intentions, she will involuntarily show mercy.

In fact, he will be in danger because of the poisoned arrows, and finally kill Charlie because of his indecision to 'kill' the enemy on the battlefield. She knew that it was just hypocrisy and evasion, and the outcome of the battle did not change because of her hesitation, Charlie killed the enemy, and the enemy killed Charlie, and she could only stand by and watch. And since the day of the 'crossing', her hands have been stained with countless human blood, so what kind of virgin protagonist is still pretending to be......

Facts have proved that if you don't have the consciousness to kill the enemy, you should not stand on the battlefield.

- So what's next?

Alice looked up at the spear that was stuck diagonally on the mountains in the distance, and the sunset that was gradually disappearing behind the mountains, and silently came up with the answer.

The answer she found was simple: if she couldn't do anything, it was better to do nothing. Alice decided that in the future, she would spend her life in this world as an ordinary aristocratic girl.

But...... Thinking that she would have to marry a man in the future, she felt very complicated. However, this complex state of mind, with the growth of the future, time may solve everything. After all, it's only been a few months, and the psychological resistance to being a girl from the 'teenager' has gradually faded a lot. Not only that, but also sentimental, with fragile tear ducts......

In short, at this pace, Alice vaguely felt that when she was eighteen years old, she might even forget her experience as a teenager and become a real girl completely.

However, at the moment when Alice decided to embark on a new life, the keen senses that had been trained for more than ten years as a martial artist, as well as the fighting spirit and fighting instinct that operated on their own, sounded the alarm of 'enemy attack' at the same time. Alice stood up with a carp and stepped on the stone wall of the windmill tower behind her, causing her body to leap and tumble.

I saw that the stone that was originally her back had been smashed to pieces by a figure who pounced on her.

There, standing, the figure of a pretty maid. The light brown hair, inherited from his father, was tied up in a ponytail at the back of his head and gently fluttered in the direction of the smoke. It was a young man that Alice knew very well, and he was also her first closed disciple to be admitted to the door - John.

Practicing dismantling moves with her disciples can be regarded as Alice's daily routine, and some time ago, she also experienced an all-out duel with him wearing the [Luna Armor]. However, at this moment, the disciple who was blocking in front of him exuded a pressure that was so heavy that Alice couldn't breathe more than any time before.

"You...... It's here to avenge Uncle Charlie?"

Alice blurted out, awkwardly moving her gaze to her feet.

"No, I'm just here to teach the lazy master a lesson. ”

“...... I'm sorry. ”

"Why apologize? Instead of apologizing, let's make up for all the lessons we've missed in the past few days, Alice!"

"I'm sorry ......"

"So don't apologize! stupid Alice!!"

Aside from being sorry, Alice didn't know what to say to the teenager in front of her. To be honest, Alice didn't want to, and didn't dare to, teach John any martial arts. Because he is a half-hanger, the half-hung martial arts, teachings and sense of justice he teaches may only make his apprentices encounter more dangers in the future. It's like it was in [Regedia] before.

"I can't stop here...... I know that I am still a child, what the hell is going on in this world, why did my father die...... I don't know anything, but if I had been stronger, I wouldn't have killed my father!"

Out of surprise, John shouted in a rough tone of self-reproach as if he couldn't let go.

"What are you talking about, John...... I'm the one who killed Uncle Charlie, right?"

"No, my father was in my place...... It's my fault because I'm still a kid, because I'm not strong enough, I'm not ......reliable enough! Because he thinks I can't help Alice, that's why he ......!"

"But, at the end of the day, it was my negligence that killed my uncle......"

"This kind of thing...... Alice, what would you have overlooked to get into such a situation, from the very beginning! Even a kid like me could have guessed! You have been like this every time! Whether it was fighting dragons, saving slave ships, and my father told me that you were wounded when you fought off the bandits, didn't you? Every time, every time, you rushed to the front line regardless of the danger, leaving you covered in ......wounds! Do you think anyone would be reassuring of you from the beginning?"

The words from the disciple who had no sense of trust at all made Alice speechless, like a slap in the face.

In fact, just as the boy said, he never won a beautiful battle perfectly, and he always received help from others at the most critical moment.

On the contrary, a teenager who dares to admit his mistakes at the age of seven and sprints forward with this regret is much stronger than himself. John will one day become stronger than himself, as he once declared-

[I'm a man!, you just need to hide behind my ass like a woman in the future!]

- That's fine...... Honestly lose to John, and then be a normal girl just like you decided......

Thinking to herself with the thought of giving up, Alice couldn't help but ask, "I said, John, why are you so obsessed with winning me?

"Because my father said that if you are a man, you must stand up and protect the woman you like! You must not watch the girl you like take on the danger all the time, and come back with bruises all the time!"

Even if John is still young, even if he dresses now, no matter how he dresses, he will praise 'what a lovely girl'. However, his posture when he said this was more manly than anyone else's.

received a sudden confession, Alice's face instantly turned red, and her brain immediately became chaotic, and at the same time, a fierce psychological struggle began in her heart-

What does this kid say, ...... like me??No, no, no, no, wait, wait——!?, wait

"So, defeat you first! prove that you are stronger than you, and then ...... next time I'll protect you with my own hands!"

Capricious and childish logic.

The teenager misunderstood the concept of 'strong', and the so-called 'becoming stronger' is not as simple as exercising combat effectiveness. It's just that it's still hard for little John to understand this. But...... The affection for Alice, the regret for the death of her father, and the desire for great power...... All this turned into a whirlpool of vindictive spirit, which swept across the surface of the river, stirring up a fierce wave.

Alice was completely confused, he had never been confessed before, even if the opponent was a schoolboy, he couldn't help but panic.

"It's on, Alice!"

"Wait, wait——!! I'm not mentally ready-"

"Drink, ——!!"

The young man's body was wrapped in fighting energy, like a tiger cub with teeth and claws.

"Don't-come-come-a-——!!"

When she came to her senses, the girl's screams of shame turned into a wave of golden fighting spirit, and a violent storm like a dragon swept the turf into the air along with the poor tiger cub......
