Because the streets are full of the festive atmosphere of Christmas, coupled with the strong ACG culture of the city itself, passers-by only glanced at the ancient costumes of Alicia and her party, and took it for granted that a cosplay club was active, so that little Lori and they avoided the fate of being watched. It's better to say that Miss Saten, the only one in the group who is dressed normally, looks out of place, so that she, who is in charge of leading the way, can't help but look at the sky speechless for a while.

"It's a city from another world with a very high degree of freedom. Randy, who finally showed a look of surprise after coming to the busy street, said lightly, "Even if my outfit is so special, the people around me don't think it's weird. ”

"Trust me, Randy. "Every summer, you'll find countless strange people in this city who are more ornate and exaggerated than us, and even the gender of the girls is unclear. ”

The tears who walked in front couldn't help but look back and sigh: "What do you think of the comic convention that is held every year?"

"Even if the girls don't have to get married, they can dress up their holidays in a grand and elegant manner!" replied little Lori confidently and loudly.

“...... While it's true that there's nothing wrong with this in a sense, you're obviously deliberately misinterpreting something, huh!?" Tears slapped his forehead and sighed deeply, "Okay. Comic Con or something aside. Elysia, how the hell did you get here? I remember that the plane passage wasn't in your house, how did it suddenly fall from the sky?"

Obviously, this question has been bothering Kuro Nao since just now - although Alicia and others, who fell from the sky thanks to it, crushed the group of bad people and resolved the girl's crisis - little Lori did not intend to hide it when she saw this. He raised his index finger with an unfathomable expression and closed his eyes, saying, "I don't know, right? Actually, there is a magical item in this world, which can make you reach any place you want to go in an instant." All you have to do is twist the grip and gently rotate it to push the door open. Although there may be some small errors in the location of the occurrence. ”

"Having a bracelet that wouldn't be strange no matter what you pull out of it, and now that even any door has come out, are you really a blue cat-shaped robot from the 22nd century!?"

"It's not me who is wrong, it's my perverted brother who deliberately made up this kind of thing and planned to use it to enter your bedroom while you were asleep and defenseless, and then hold you down and do all kinds of [beep] ghost things. Alicia didn't care about Tears' sharp complaints, and waved her hand casually and sighed, "It's rare that I saw through his plan in advance and stole any door to keep it safe, but I didn't expect Sister Tears to appreciate it at all." Could it be that you are looking forward to being pushed down by him? I'm really incomprehensible. Maybe it's better to return it to Locklepool when we go back today?"

"I'm sorry. Hei Changzhi resolutely and deeply bowed his head to Xiao Lori, and apologized sincerely with his palms together, "Please don't do this." ”

After solving the doubts in his heart, Tears continued to lead everyone forward.

Not as curious about everything around you as everyone else. Accustomed to this, Alicia felt that the direction was not quite right after following the black chief for a while, so she asked, "Now, Sister Tears." Where are you going? Why do you look like you're walking in the direction of the bus stop?"

"Well, that's right. It's the bus stop. Tears turned around and explained as he walked backwards, "You know. Christmas and New Year's Day are just around the corner. At this time of year, many tourists come here to escape the cold. Therefore, the places you have asked for are now overcrowded, and it is difficult to find suitable vacant seats for stalls and banquets. In this case, I think it is more suitable for the current situation to be a civilian form of entertainment. ”

"It's difficult, can you say ......" The little Lori who was dripping with cold sweat couldn't help but stammer when she heard this.

"That's it. Hei Changzhi clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Let's go to karaoke together!"

"Wait a minute!!"

――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――

"Why did it end up like this?" said the disgruntled tear, pouting his lips, "Is it true that as long as I am with you, civilian entertainment is an impossible thing?"

"Don't talk about people like the kind of super famous lady who walks on the red carpet in a luxury car, and even the tissues she carries with her are more expensive than the cigarettes smoked by migrant workers!" said Alicia viciously as she stepped out of the RV, and then covered her face weakly. But as long as I think of a large group of people dressed in cosplay costumes crying wolf in the KTV box, and then making the soy sauce party passing by in the neighborhood feel extremely frightened, and along with the new urban legend or something, I feel that I can't afford to lose this person...... Yes. Thank you for driving over to pick us up, Sagara. Don't wait. We'll go back on our own later. ”

The black-haired boy with an expressionless face who had a fight with Randy who got out of the car last nodded silently, started the luxury car and left.

Locklip has made a large investment in the city, and this luxury bathhouse, which has a large clientele of the upper class, is also one of them. As for Elysia, who is the boss's baby sister, it is naturally impossible for the staff here not to know each other.

Despite the fact that it was the tourist season and the crowd was busy, the lobby manager in charge of the day took the time to greet Alicia, who was checking in in the lobby, after receiving the news: "Welcome to our store, Miss Harris." I'm sorry that the situation is as you can see, but I really don't have time to make arrangements specifically for you. ”

Because of the bizarre dress of Xiao Lori and her group, although it conforms to the local ACG style, but it doesn't match the orthodox costumes no matter how you look at it, the well-dressed customers nearby can't help but look at them carefully with contempt, speechlessness, amusement, and of course, amazing eyes. Fortunately, Sophia's noble temperament, which can be deeply felt by anyone, has brought back a lot of points for everyone. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be misunderstood as a cosplay club in the wrong place.

However, when the lobby manager personally greeted the blonde Lori, who was so beautiful and casual that she didn't have any etiquette to speak of, everyone present was petrified in an instant. They have been turned into sculptures.

"It's okay, you just do your job and don't worry about us. Alicia waved her hand indifferently and said, "I'm just here to entertain friends." ”

"Okay, have fun, you guys. The lobby manager was just about to say goodbye and leave, but there was an argument at the door.

The receptionist at the door (helpless): "Little girl, you are not yet an adult." There's no way I'm going to let you in without a guardian. ”

Girl (crazy): "It's all said. I really have friends waiting in there!"

Receptionist at the door (sighs): "In that case, why don't you make an appointment with your friends in advance to meet around here and come together?"

Girl: "Ah, you don't believe what I say, do you? Although I am a commoner, I do have a friend of the eldest lady." Even though she usually doesn't look like a lady at all......"

"I—I'm going to let her go. The lobby manager, who couldn't laugh or cry, wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile.

"Wait a minute. In the gaze of the other party's black lines and cold sweat all over the ground. Alicia strode to the doorway, grabbed a leaflet from an iron simple bookshelf, twisted it into a ball, and smashed it the flower-covered head of the chubby little round-faced girl, and roared, "I'm really sorry that I don't have the slightest appearance of a big lady!"

The early spring, which was attacked by the double attack of complaining and throwing paper, showed no signs of anger. Instead, he quickly slipped past the stunned receptionist. Crying and crying, tears flowed down her face and pounced on Alicia, who couldn't help but lose her face when she saw this: "Woo, hurry up and help me testify, Alicia." It's rare to have access to such a high-class place, and I don't want to be stuck in the doorway. ”

"Are you a Shirai who hasn't seen Sister Mai Tamin in a week, give me a dead break, hey!" Little Lori kicked and kicked to finally get rid of the entanglement of the flower pot girl, and coughed vigorously to explain to the lobby manager not far away, "This girl who always has eyes shining and yearns for the life of the eldest lady is indeed my friend." That being said, you'll have to stop her the next time you need to. ”

"That's too much. Elicia!"

"I said don't pull my skirt casually!"

Angel at the front desk decisively pulled the confused Michelle with an expression of not knowing the goods.

In the end, Zuotian Tears, who still couldn't stand it, came over to show her best upskirt method. This made Chu Chun restrain his frenzy in the screams and return to his usual good baby appearance.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go inside. Alicia clapped her hands and said to her friends, "Go change your clothes first, and then ...... Where do you want to go first?"

Saten tears (hands raised): "Karaoke!"

Elysia: "It's still daylight, I want to howl as much as I want until the moon comes out in the evening!"

Hatsuharu (excited): "Restaurant!"

Alicia (covers her head): "You're just going to visit and not be hungry, aren't you?"

Sophia (half-hidden): "That'...... Meet someone close to you in an unoccupied room?"

Alicia (without hesitation): "Rejection! Running away and eating will lead to the end of the firewood knife." ”

Michelle: "Since it's called a bathhouse, why don't we go take a shower first?"

After a long period of silence, the proposal was unanimously approved.

――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――

The baths are available in a variety of sizes that are loose and comfortable to wear - especially for Alicia, who is wearing her smallest bathrobe so loose that it almost slips off her shoulders.

Little Lori's appearance contrasts with Michelle's plump and erect figure next to her.

The girls had all just finished taking a shower, and their fair skin, wet hair, and the loose and exquisite bathrobes on their bodies were all teasing the optic nerves of the boys. Not long after meeting in the lounge, Ilya blushed and couldn't help but twist her head to the side.

However, in the face of so many benefits in front of you. Randy, who was next to him, seemed unmoved, and didn't even look at Yura, who was nervous from being separated for a while, as she hurriedly stood up to him.

[This guy can't be that place, right?]

"I don't know why this is the way it is, but don't forget that our original purpose was to host a welcome party for Randy and Yura. Alicia tossed the dirty thoughts out of her head and spoke. "There is a restaurant with a view on the top floor, and it is not yet time to eat, so there should not be many people. How about we have a welcome party there?"

Randy nodded faintly, "Don't bother too much, just be there." ”

"Okay, it's decided. Let's go!"

The group squeezed into the elevator under the leadership of Xiao Lori and went straight to the top floor.

Although it is not a skyscraper, this bath is not low. It is possible to overlook all the nearby views from the top floor. When everyone arrived at their destination, they couldn't help but sigh, but this time, Randy, who was indifferent to the girls' bathing benefits, showed a fleeting fanatical expression.

It's just that no one noticed. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the scenery in front of them.

"Well, it looks like the right decision. Alicia clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to sit down on the table and chairs by the glass window and said, "I'm having a treat today, everyone can order whatever desserts and snacks you want!"

"Shrimp!?" Anqi, Tears, and Hatsuharu all shouted in horror when they heard this. "It can't be!"

Alicia was a little puzzled: "What's wrong." What can't be?"

"How could someone like you, who is so stingy that he can be described as an iron rooster, take the initiative to treat you!?" Hatsuharu unceremoniously pointed to the tip of Little Lori's nose and said loudly, "It's an illusion, it must be an illusion." ”

The little Lori with green muscles on her head grabbed the flower pot girl's index finger and broke it vigorously, and at the same time smiled with a very terrible expression and said, "Ahhhhh

"It hurts, it hurts, it's going to break, it's going to break......"

Ilya held down Lori's hand before she was completely blackened, and rescued the poor flowerpot girl by the way. And Sophia, who still can't leave her hand even if she changes into a bathrobe, can't help but open the folding fan to cover her face, and her eyes are full of complicated meanings.

Tears didn't notice these subtle changes, she took the menu with a big grin, gestured on it, and muttered, "I'll see what is expensive." Since it's rare for Alicia to say that she wants to have a treat, then she has to take the opportunity to have a good meal!"

"Hey. What's the deal with the idea of ordering whatever is expensive?, will you die if you're a little polite!?" Alicia was angry and amused when she heard this, "though I'm not feeling sorry for my pocket money......

"Then don't complain. Generously put out your eldest lady shelf and pay us nonchalantly. ”

"It's the first time I've seen a guy who can ask for a treat so confidently!"

After more than ten minutes, the things that everyone had ordered were brought to them - as expected, most of them were cakes, cookies, sundaes, and other desserts, and as for the huge amount of fried rice, it was not necessary to think about it to know that it belonged to Elijah.

[This group of ghost animals is really not polite at all. 】

After all the waiters withdrew, Alicia stood up and held up her glass and said, "Well, although I have experienced all kinds of things before, as long as we work together from now on, we will definitely be able to overcome those difficulties." In short, Randy and Jura, congratulations on your successful escape from the Dark Empire, and welcome to the Alliance. Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Jura was a little restrained at first, but fortunately it was Michelle sitting next to her. Infected by the strong affinity of natural stay, she quickly put it down, carefully and carefully tasted the dessert in front of her, and sighed with a surprised and happy smile: "This is dessert." I've seen it in a book before, but it's the first time I've actually eaten it like this. ”

Michelle couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "Wooh, isn't there anyone in the Dark Empire who can make desserts?"

"Of course. Sophia shook the folding fan next to her and smiled evilly, "Michelle, you think, since it's called the Dark Empire, the food they make is naturally all the existence of Elicia's level." Naturally, Yura couldn't have eaten the kind of delicious desserts we usually bought from the Candy House. ”

"Woo-woo!?Is that so!?" asked the natural dumb girl by the hands of the long-haired girl with light blonde hair.

"Hah...... I always feel like I can't answer. Yura could only shed countless cold sweats and was speechless about this.

Alicia patted the table lightly and said, "Sophia, put aside the evaluation of your and my cooking skills, can you change your approach next time you change the subject?" I'm sorry, Yura. Although I have already guessed what kind of life you have lived before, I would like to ask you to tell us more about it if you don't mind. ”

"Okay. Jura sat up straight and smiled slightly, "It's okay, Randy and I are free now, and the past is nothing more than painful memories." In the future, I will look forward bravely and never let the past hold me back. This is the greatest reward I can do for my warm care for all of you. ”

At this moment, Randy, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "Let me tell you, Yura." Ladies and gentlemen, you may find it a little incredible, but for us it is the harshest reality. Yura, including today's trip, has only been out six times in total. The rest of the time, she was under house arrest. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively table immediately fell silent. (To be continued.) )
