Chapter 921 The Last Daily Life 100
On the morning of the ball, Xiaolin, Duster, Lynn and a group of five people successfully entered the royal city after showing two invitation letters.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Duster exclaimed in amazement. He pointed at the magnificent ballroom and shouted, "Can we really step on such a beautiful carpet?! Xiaolin, look! That pillar is actually shining!"
This guy's real identity is obviously a dragon knight from the neighboring country. These things are definitely just a small scene for him, but he acted like a bumpkin from the countryside... There was some acting in it, but it also made some guards and nobles show contempt. This guy... Although we know that he wants to disguise his true origin as much as possible, it really makes people feel uncomfortable when he does this every time. By the way, he can really endure being looked down upon. His endurance is quite strong.
"This carpet is woven with very rare colors." Qis also looked at the carpet under his feet. He looked around and said in surprise: "The design of the pillars is just right, not too gorgeous, not too simple... and you can see the thoughtfulness of the foreign envoys everywhere. The king is really amazing..."
Chis usually keeps a low profile, but I didn't expect he has such insight. This guy is not as simple as he seems.
Could he be a noble or knight there like Dust? However, I have not heard of this.
"Chis is really amazing." Taylor couldn't help but say, "You are obviously just an ordinary adventurer like me, but I didn't expect you to be able to observe so carefully. It makes me feel embarrassed..."
"Has Chiss learned these things?"
Lynn said this somewhat strangely.
"Ahaha..." Chis had an awkward smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "It's just that when I was a kid, I helped the nobles produce this kind of things and learned some weaving methods. It's what we call showing off one's knowledge."
So that's how it is. He is not a nobleman, but a servant of a noble... No wonder his expression was so ugly when the ball was mentioned. Something must have happened that left Chis with a psychological trauma.
at this time--
"Please wait a moment! Your Highness Alice!"
In the distance, Lei Yin shouted in worry. When Xiao Lin turned around, he saw Alice running towards him with brisk steps. With a cheerful smile on her face, she said excitedly, "Brother, you're here really early!"
"Long time no see, Alice." Xiao Lin waved at her with a smile, and after saying hello, he said, "Since it's rare for us to meet, I wanted to have a good chat with you."
"Yes! Wait, I will have a long talk with my brother all night long!"
Alice's face showed a happy smile, a smile of emotion after they had not seen each other for a long time. By the way, Alice was now wearing a pure white dress, which formed a sharp contrast with her dazzling golden hair, like a princess from a fairy tale.
At this time, Alice's two guards also hurried over.
"Your Highness Alice!" Claire came over panting, glared at Kobayashi fiercely, and couldn't help but say, "In the past, you would definitely not do such an unruly thing as running in the city. Is this also the negative influence brought by Mr. Kobayashi..."
"No, no, no, I don't think this is my fault alone."
Xiao Lin waved his hand decisively to deny it.
At least Sato Kazuma, Aqua and Megumin are also involved, and Kobayashi shouldn't be blamed for everything.
Unlike Kobayashi who looked indifferent, Lynn, Chis and Taylor hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted after seeing Alice.
"Your Highness the Queen!"
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess——1"
The four of them lowered their heads quickly, and unlike Chis, Taylor and Lynn whose postures were a little strange, Dust's posture was unusually standard, the posture of a knight saluting to a princess.
"Nice to meet you. I'm one of the Axel adventurers..."
"Ms. Lynn, right? Over there are Mr. Dust, Taylor, and Mr. Chis..."
Alice said their names first.
This surprised Taylor. He asked in surprise, "Hey, why do you know our names...?"
"Oh my!" Dust pretended to be stupid and laughed, "It seems that our reputation has spread to the capital, too?"
"Daxter, could you please be quiet for a moment?"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. He didn't know whether to say that he was pretending to be stupid or being sarcastic. He actually dared to talk to Alice like that. He was lucky that he was not chopped by Claire.
“You are all adventurers who have conquered the Demon King’s army and made great contributions, right?” Alice did not get angry at Dust’s impoliteness. Instead, she smiled and admitted, “Rumors about you have spread throughout the capital.”
"It is an honor for Her Highness Alice to hear about this."
Taylor said this with a slight touch of emotion.
He has the typical thoughts of a countryman from another world, and feels so touched by being recognized by the royal family.
"I heard that you all helped to repel the mobile disaster and performed outstandingly." Alice bowed slightly to the four people, lowered her head and spoke sincerely, "On behalf of the residents of the royal capital, I would like to express my gratitude to you all again. Thank you very much."
"How can this be possible, Your Highness Alice!" Lynn was a little flustered and wanted to step forward to support Alice's shoulders, but she was a little overwhelmed because she was the princess of the kingdom. In the end, she could only helplessly say: "Please, please raise your head. This is not something you deserve to be thanked for."
"I didn't expect you guys to be such excellent adventurers."
"Of course!"
Hearing Lei Yin praising them so much, Xiao Lin also took the opportunity to show off and said proudly: "After all, their friends are me, Xiao Lin, and I cultivated this adventurer team!"
"You actually boasted that you planted it yourself..."
Claire looked disgusted. Although she wanted to refute Xiaolin, she could only stop talking when she saw that Dust and the others did not deny it. However, she soon noticed something strange.
"...Speaking of which." Claire carefully counted the five of them and asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, there should have been only one invitation letter sent to Mr. Kobayashi. Why were the five of you able to enter the palace together?"
"Eh, is that so?"
Facing Claire's questioning, Xiaolin did not show any fear or other reactions. Instead, he asked in a somewhat strange tone, "I saw two invitations in the letter, and I thought that it must be that the four of us must come together... Isn't that the case? Or do you want Darkness and Aqua to come?"
"You mean two..." Claire was a little suspicious, and fell into deep thought as if she found it strange. She pinched her chin and muttered softly, "This is impossible..."
"Yes, Xiaolin." Lynn also spoke in a strange voice and asked, "At that time you also said that although there was only one card, you would find a way--"
"No, that's not right!" Xiao Lin interrupted her immediately and said seriously, "I took a closer look and found that there were actually two!!!"
Some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
I didn't expect Lynn to ruin the show, but this was also my own negligence. If I had known earlier, I would have told them the truth first, or simply lied to them and said that I didn't find the second photo, at least I wouldn't arouse Claire's suspicion at this time.
It was a close call...
I couldn't tell him that I had stolen it from Yukihime using the stealing skill! If I did that, not only would Claire scold me, but Alice might even dislike me.
"Hehehe..."
However, the clever Alice had obviously noticed something. It would be better to say that she must have guessed how Xiaolin got in. But she did not expose him. Instead, she saved face for Xiaolin - to be honest, Alice is really the best sister in the world.
Afterwards, she looked behind Xiaolin and saw that no one else was following him. She asked curiously, "Excuse me, what happened to Miss Huihui and the others today? Are they in town?"
"Because I want to introduce Lynn and the others to Alice, they are staying at Axel's house today."
Kobayashi said this with confidence, and compared to the problem children like Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin, Kobayashi preferred to bring along the self-aware Lynn and Duster. After all, if they came along, it would definitely cause even greater chaos.
"I see. It's a pity that I can't meet them..." Alice said with some regret. She thought that there might be something wrong with her invitation letter. But she quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "But I am very grateful for your kindness, my brother."
With a sister like this, there is no regret in life!
Xiaolin was so moved that he almost shed tears.
"By the way." Alice looked at him and asked, "Brother just said a very unfamiliar word, it seemed like making something..."
"That's a good question."
Hearing this key word, Xiao Lin said quite complacently: "To be honest, the reason why Axel's small theater became so popular so quickly is because I, the person behind the scenes, acted as their producer!"
"Governing people...?"
“It’s the producer.”
Xiao Lin corrected Alice who looked confused, and then explained loudly: "My job is to think about how to increase the audience, please them so that they can take out their wallets, and be responsible for the performance of the drama and so on."
"That's amazing, brother!" Alice looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but praise him: "So you want to do this kind of activity!"
"Yeah, if Alice doesn't mind, you can call me 'Producer'!"
"Okay, Onii-sama Producer!"
"Brother-sama, Producer...it sounds really great!"
Kobayashi was really satisfied with the way Alice addressed himself as his sister. He had to say that Alice really knew how to please him.
"Ahem!" Claire coughed and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you two when you're chatting so hotly, but I still need to confirm their identities."
"I'm an adventurer from Axel, my name is Lynn. I'm a relatively famous adventurer, and my profession is a magician."
"Same as above. Duster is an adventurer. His profession as an adventurer is a handsome swordsman."
"Ditto, Chiss, I'm considered an archer."
"Tyler, the Knight."
"Ah, no wonder you look familiar to me. It is indeed Lady Lynn."
After seeing Lynn, Rayne said this with some surprise, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Lynn also nodded slightly, and said to the two with a smile: "Yes, Lord Rayne seems to be fine, thank goodness. Lord Claire is also very grateful for your clothes when I made chocolate last time."
"Ah, you are from that time!" Claire seemed to have just remembered. She said in surprise: "I didn't recognize you. How rude. I didn't expect Miss Lynn to be an adventurer. I was really surprised."
No, no, no, did he forget? Claire should have met Lynn during the chocolate incident, but he forgot... Should I say that this guy only has Alice in his eyes?
“Really?” Lynn said in surprise, “But Miss Darkness…ah, Lady Lalatina is also an adventurer. I think that what you want to do should have nothing to do with your status, right?”
"Yes, I think so too!" Alice also spoke up and said, "Even if you are a princess, there is no need to resist doing what you want to do!"
Duster agreed with her words - Kobayashi, who was always paying attention to him, clearly saw him nodding.
"Brother, there is still a lot of time before the dance starts. Do you want to have a customary duel?"
Alice invited with a smile.
"Okay." Xiao Lin gladly accepted her challenge, and confidently puffed out his chest, saying, "I train day after day just for this day!"
"W-What are you going to do?"
Seeing the two people competing against each other, Lynn said this with some surprise and worry, and secretly looked at Claire on the side, indicating to her whether she should stop the two of them.
Claire just sighed helplessly and didn't react.
"We're just playing games." Xiaolin waved his hand, signaling Lynn not to react so strongly, and said, "This is a serious duel between Alice and I! I must compete with you this time!"
"That's just what I want!" Alice said, not to be outdone. Then, she invited Xiaolin and said, "Come and play!"
After that, Xiaolin and Alice went to the room to start the game battle. As for Lynn and the others, they were invited by Claire and Rain to go somewhere else to rest and change into appropriate dresses - it would be impolite to attend the banquet held by the royal family if they still dressed as adventurers.
