I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

However, Alice doesn't have to worry about these issues now. During her brief time with Yuhaka and the others, Alice discovered that they didn't seem to care too much about her status as a princess of the Belzegu Kingdom. This made Alice a little happy, because it meant that she didn't have to worry about Yuhaka and the others keeping their distance from her.

However, at this moment, Yuhaka asked Alice if she had any fighting ability. Alice nodded energetically in response to Yuhaka's question and said, "Although I'm not as strong as my brother, Alice has at least learned swordsmanship!" As she spoke, Alice struck a pose full of confidence, clearly showing that she was very confident in her swordsmanship.

After hearing Alice's explanation, Yuhaka looked at Alice curiously and asked, "Does Alice need a weapon? The Hero's Sword might be a bit conspicuous OwO~" After hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice immediately understood what Yuhaka was talking about. After all, the appearance of the Hero's Sword was already recognized by most people in the Kingdom of Belzegu. If she took it out, people would come knocking on her door very quickly, right?

Furthermore, the Hero's Sword is currently unusable, so Alice needs a new weapon. Therefore, Yuhaka gave Alice a replica of the Key of Domination. Upon receiving the Key of Domination, Alice could tell from her own discerning eye that it was an extremely powerful weapon. However, Alice was somewhat worried that using this weapon might be a bit...

Well, before Alice could finish speaking, Yhaka demonstrated what mass-produced weapons were all about, piling up countless copies of the Key of Domination like garbage. After Alice's lips twitched a couple of times upon seeing this, she understood why Yhaka and the others had given her this powerful weapon—because there were simply a lot of these weapons available.

However, Alice stated that she would return the copy of the Key of Domination after freeing the Sword of the Hero. As for Yuhaka, he waved his hand dismissively, saying it was a gift for Alice, a present for a friend.

Upon hearing that Yuhaka had given the gift to a friend, Alice felt a little happy inside, as this was the first time she had ever received a gift from a friend her own age.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1944 [The Mastermind Behind the Mastermind]

In the kingdom of Belzegu, in the royal city located at the heart of the kingdom, in the king's room, the leader of the Norse barbarians that Yuhaka and her companions had encountered earlier was reporting what had happened to someone in the room.

Upon hearing the words of the Norse barbarian chieftain, the king of Belzegu, sitting in his chair, revealed a displeased expression and said, "Are you saying that Princess Alice escaped from your clutches with the help of unknown individuals?" The Norse barbarian chieftain nodded in response to the Belzegu king's words, saying, "Yes, although the number of the enemy is unknown, there were at least two high-level spellcasters and one person suspected to be an alchemist. Moreover, they were very powerful; in just one raid, my men suffered more than half their losses."

"Just a surprise attack?" King Belzegu's expression turned serious upon hearing the words of the Norse barbarian chieftain. Although he looked down on these northern bumpkins, their strength was indeed outstanding among mercenaries. Not to mention, even the kingdom's soldiers under the prince's command could not withstand their offensive. However, what King Belzegu did not expect was that such a powerful mercenary group was defeated in a single encounter, which made King Belzegu feel somewhat troubled.

If he wasn't mistaken, the other party was probably a high-level adventurer passing by. Thinking of this, King Belzegu felt a bit troubled, as finding someone among adventurers was quite difficult, especially since even the leader of the Norse barbarians hadn't seen the other party. According to the Norse barbarians, it had rained heavily just now, and visibility was very low, so they hadn't been able to see the enemy's appearance clearly. King Belzegu was very angry about this, but he quickly refrained from lashing out at them. After all, this search operation still relied heavily on the Norse barbarians' investigation, so the Belzegu Kingdom chose not to offend them.

"Phew... No matter what, I must find the Sword of the Hero. That's what I need. And Princess Alice couldn't possibly have gone to another country. If I'm not mistaken, she must be heading to the Belzegu Royal Training Grounds. Only there can the Sword of the Hero activate its original power."

Upon hearing the words of the Belzerg Kingdom, the Norse barbarian chieftain nodded in understanding. After being told to step down, he left the palace.

Not long after the Norse barbarian chieftain left, a figure appeared beside King Belzeg. It was a woman who looked like a dark elf. In this world, dark elves are generally a race from the demon race, and they are very skilled at assassination and infiltration to steal intelligence. The woman's appearance here was not to assassinate King Belzeg, but rather she seemed very friendly.

"Your Majesty King Belzeg, you seem quite troubled. Perhaps these northern barbarians you've summoned aren't very effective? Do you need our help?" The dark elf assassin spoke to King Belzeg in a mocking tone. However, King Belzeg wasn't angered by the sarcasm. He merely snorted and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately, it's best if you don't show up here. If you attract other heroes, you'll likely have a headache too."

Upon hearing King Belzegu's words, the dark elf assassin didn't say much, but simply smiled and said to the king, "Alright, it seems you don't need our help. But if you need it, just come find me, hehehe..." With that cold laugh, the dark elf assassin disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

King Belzegu was deeply alarmed by this sight. After all, such an ability would make assassinating him far too easy. If it weren't for the powerful figure behind the demons seeking his help, today might have been his death day. Although the demons possessed King Belzegu's body through some kind of artifact, it didn't mean they were powerless against him. King Belzegu was annoyed by this thought, but he had no intention of severing ties with the demons.

After all, he couldn't possibly control the entire Belze Kingdom on his own. However, the nobles within the kingdom each had their own agendas, which made it difficult for him to maintain control. The demons, on the other hand, had this ability. If they had leverage over those nobles, they could easily manipulate them.

Of course, everything sounds wonderful, but not everyone thinks that way.

In a shadowy spot, after the dark elf assassin returned, a fellow dark elf came to greet him and asked, "How did it go?" The dark elf assassin, who had just gone to ask his companion, spread his hands and said, "As always, it seems that idiot thinks he has everything under control, but he doesn't realize how vulnerable he is. He probably thinks he's the only one we have contact with here, right? However, there's some bad news: the princess did indeed take the Hero's Sword, and she was rescued by a passing adventurer."

Upon hearing this news, his companion was also somewhat surprised and said, "They rescued them? I remember those brutes from the north were quite powerful, weren't they?" The dark elf assassin then recounted what he knew. Hearing his companion's words, another dark elf assassin wore a serious expression and said, "Hmm... it seems not everything goes smoothly. But is it necessary to keep that Hero's Sword?"

Regarding the question about their companion, the dark elf assassin explained that it was something the Demon Lord wanted to keep. After all, it was the only sword that only recognized bloodlines and had no self-awareness. If they could control this sword and its master, then their Demon Lord would have a very powerful card to play when facing other Demon Lords.

Therefore, this mission also requires protecting the Hero's Sword and the bloodline of the Belzeg royal family. This is why they didn't attack the Belzeg King and Prince who were being controlled. If their presence hadn't been exposed and attracted other heroes, Princess Alice would have had virtually no chance of escaping. However, none of this matters, since if the other party wants to use the Hero's Sword, they must go to the Belzeg royal family's sacred ground for a trial. The specifics of the trial are unknown, as it has always been a secret. There are no records of it within the Belzeg royal family, making it a mystery.

As for the Norse barbarians, although they obeyed their employers and garrisoned the cities, most of them did not come here. Only a small number came as vanguards to act as mercenaries. In reality, they were all followers of the Chaos demons. However, the people here did not regard them as Chaos's lackeys. After all, in the minds of the people in this world, the Norse barbarians were a group of extremely savage and uncivilized barbarians who liked to use other people's skulls as bowls. In a sense, those people were not wrong, since the followers of Chaos did indeed like to use other people's heads, especially Khorne.

After entering his tent, the Norse chieftain approached an object resembling a shrine to a demon god and said, "My lord, the princess who carried the hero's sword has been abducted by unknown adventurers and her whereabouts are currently unknown." Hearing this, the shrine-like object emitted a faint glow and spoke to the chieftain, "It doesn't matter. All fate is in my lord's calculations. Rather, this is a very good opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Upon hearing the words from the shrine of the evil god, the Norse chieftain looked puzzled. He hadn't expected any other opportunity in such a situation. Soon, he learned that other nations near the Kingdom of Belzer were eyeing it covetously. These nations not only possessed the bloodline of heroes but also the Sword of Heroes. Naturally, everyone coveted this legendary sword that could supposedly fight the Demon King. After all, not all nations in the world could directly summon heroes. Summoning a hero required the permission of a goddess, and without divine permission, summoning a hero was virtually impossible.

Several countries within the Belze Kingdom can also summon heroes, but unfortunately, one of them has already used up all the summoning slots. This is not a good thing for the surrounding countries, since the word "hero" in this world represents the ultimate power to resist the Demon King. Countries that did not summon heroes can only offer verbal condemnation at most; they have not taken any real action against the heroes. After all, no country in this world dares to fight a hero, because only heroes are capable of defeating the Demon King.

If a scandal involving the killing of a hero were to occur in that country, it would be a bad thing for anyone. As for why, this has happened before, and that country no longer exists, which is why those countries are so wary of it.

The Norse chieftain, though unaware of his master's words, would obey without hesitation. After all, they needed sufficient offerings to their four gods to obtain their blessings. The mastermind behind it all desired further chaos in the world; any disorder would become a performance to please the gods, and they would stop at nothing to achieve it...

Inside Yuhaka's RV, Princess Alice was looking out the window with a surprised expression. Alice had thought she was in a house, but she was surprised to find herself in an enormous mobile vehicle, which was quite novel to her. After all, this was the first time Alice had ever ridden in such a vehicle in the wilderness. Although Princess Alice had a royal carriage, it was far inferior to Yuhaka's RV. Moreover, Alice had never seen anything like it that could provide shelter for passengers. Alice was quite curious about who had built this huge mobile home.

"Dinner's ready, OwO~" With Yuhaka's voice, Alice turned around and saw Yuhaka walking over with two plates of spaghetti with tomato meat sauce. Yuhaka placed Alice's plate in front of her and then sat down opposite Alice. Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Alice looked at Yuhaka with some curiosity and asked, "Um, Yuu-chan, thank you so much for preparing dinner for me, but don't Yue and Fran need any?"

Regarding Alice's question, Yuhaka explained, "No need, the Yuyus have already eaten dinner. Yue and Fran are full, but Yuyu can still eat~ So Yuyu came to keep Alice company =w=~" Yuhaka said with a proud expression. Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice blinked with an "OvO" look, clearly not quite understanding. However, Alice soon realized something: perhaps eating alone here would be a bit lonely? So Yuhaka came to keep her company?

Thinking of this, Alice blushed slightly. At the same time, an image appeared above her head showing a +10 increase in her affection for Yohaka. Yohaka could sense Alice's emotions, and he gave her an "OwO?" look. However, Yohaka didn't pay too much attention to it and had dinner with Alice, chatting and such, since eating alone could be a bit boring.

After chatting and eating dinner, Yuhaka put the dishes in the dishwasher. Then, Yuhaka and Alice saw Yue and Fran, wrapped in towels, say to them, "Yuyu, the bath water is ready, you can go take a bath now~"

P.S.: The title is not misspelled; it was intentional.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1945 [Alone with Alice OwO]

After Fran glanced at Yuhaka and Alice, who had brought changes of clothes, she turned her gaze to Yue and asked curiously, "Hey, Yue, why did you make Master and Alice bathe alone together? Wouldn't it be better if everyone bathed together?"

Upon hearing Fran's question, Yue looked at Fran with a proud expression and shook her finger, saying, "No, no, no~ You don't understand, Fran. This is a good opportunity for Youyou to comfort Alice and improve her impression of her~" After hearing Yue's words, Fran looked puzzled, clearly not understanding what Yue was talking about. After all, Fran was a little confused about this kind of thing. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to improve their impressions together?

Regarding Fran's question, Yue also said that Fran was still too inexperienced. If they went together, the effect would still be effective, but Alice's favorability would be evenly distributed among them. If it was Yuhaka alone, Alice's favorability would be concentrated on Yuhaka, which would at least provide a good emotional relationship for the two of them.

At least beyond friendship, right? Probably...

Hearing Yue's words, Fran also had an expression that said, "Although I don't know what's going on, it seems really impressive." However, Fran obviously didn't understand why Yue would do this. In response to Fran's confusion, Yue explained, "Fran, do you think it's better for Yuu to have more or fewer close friends around her?" Upon hearing Yue's question, Fran was also unclear about what Yue was trying to say, but Fran felt that generally, the more people around Yuu, the better.

Thinking this through, Fran nodded to Yue, who patted Fran's head and said, "Then I might need Fran's help a lot then~"

...........................................

...........................................

Inside the RV's bathroom, Alice, her hands pressed against a white towel on her chest, looked around with a surprised expression. She hadn't expected such a spacious interior to be so unexpected, which left her quite astonished. Although the bathroom wasn't as luxurious as a royal bathroom, its unique style made Alice feel as if she had entered another world.

"Come in, OwO~" Yuhaka greeted Alice as she entered the bathroom. Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice snapped out of her shock. Well... you can't blame Alice for that, since it was the first time she had ever seen such a shocking scene, so it's normal that she wasn't immediately stunned.

Upon entering the bathroom, Yuhaka taught Alice how to use the facilities. Alice found the bathroom's complete facilities quite novel. Although these things were also available in the royal palace's bathrooms, she had never seen anything like them that didn't require magic to operate. Furthermore, the various shampoos and shower gels placed nearby didn't seem like the alchemical creations she was used to seeing. The fact that there was a mirror covering an entire wall in the bathroom also puzzled Alice.

Although mirrors weren't uncommon in this place, Alice was a little unsure what the purpose of having an entire wall of mirrors in the bathroom was. Despite not knowing their function, Alice found it quite unusual.

Following Yuhaka's instructions, Alice turned on the shower. As the shower head gushed out, warm water gushed out, and Alice relaxed, feeling a warm sensation all over her body.

However, when Alice was about to wash her hair, she suddenly remembered something: she wasn't very good at bathing. To be precise, she usually had her maids help her bathe. Thinking about how the maids always helped her in various ways, Alice was a little troubled. It was understandable, as Alice was used to being served by maids. Suddenly changing her life from a princess to a princess on the run was something she hadn't adjusted to all at once. Moreover, during her time away from the royal city, Alice hadn't lived a normal life, and she hadn't adjusted her mindset yet, so she seemed a little lost.

Just as Alice looked completely bewildered, Yuhaka, standing nearby, gave her an "OwO?" look and asked, "Alice, what's wrong?" Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice paused for a moment before quickly waving her hands and saying, "No, nothing! It's just... I'm not used to it yet, and... hahaha..."

Seeing Alice's silly grin, Yuhaka raised an eyebrow and glanced at her before continuing to get the shampoo and wash her hair. Although Yuhaka could tell that Alice was lying, he knew very well that the second half of her statement was true. Yuhaka understood that Alice probably hadn't adapted to her current life yet.

After all, there are some differences between living in a pampered environment and having a lifestyle like outdoor travel. It will probably take them some time to adapt.

Well... Yuhaka doesn't find Alice's situation troublesome at all. He just needs to take care of her for a while, and she'll probably adapt quickly, right?

Alice had no idea what Yuhaka was thinking. At that moment, Alice was just observing Yuhaka's actions to learn what he should do. When she saw Yuhaka holding a bottle of shampoo, Alice also grabbed one. But then a problem arose: the shampoo and shower gel Yuhaka bought were from Japan. Alice was dumbfounded when she saw a bunch of characters she couldn't understand. After all, it was written in Japanese, not the script of the Belze Kingdom, so it was normal for Alice to be unfamiliar with the script.

However, Alice, who was stunned, quickly recovered and picked up a bottle to use. Just then, Yuhaka reminded Alice, "Alice, that's for bathing, this is for shampooing." As he spoke, Yuhaka handed Alice the shampoo in his hand. Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice looked at the shower gel in her hand and then at the shampoo in Yuhaka's hand. Alice couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you..." Alice said thank you shyly before taking the shampoo from Yuhaka's hand. Yuhaka didn't seem to mind Alice's embarrassment and went to wash her hair. Seeing that Yuhaka didn't laugh at her, Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had felt really embarrassed just now, and her small, fair toes had involuntarily curled up.

However, after receiving the shampoo from Yuhaka, Alice squeezed out some and tried to learn how to wash her hair from Yuhaka. The maid had always washed Alice's hair, so Alice was learning how Yuhaka did it. Seeing how easily Yuhaka washed her hair, Alice suddenly felt confident and tried to wash her own hair, and then... then she burst into tears.

"My eyes!? My eyes hurt so much!?"

Alice rubbed her eyes with her foamy little hands. Just moments before, Alice had been confidently imitating Yuhaka by washing her hair, but some shampoo foam had accidentally gotten into her eyes. A stinging sensation immediately shot through them. Although it wasn't too painful, the discomfort terrified Alice. Yuhaka, seeing this, couldn't help but recall a time when Ji Lin accidentally got foam in her eyes while using modern shampoo. Ji Lin had also rolled around in her eyes, clutching them. Yuhaka had laughed loudly then, and now that she had suffered the same fate, she too was rolling around in the bathroom floor, clutching her eyes, just like Ji Lin.

After that incident, Yuhaka's eyes evolved a transparent membrane to prevent foam from getting into them.

Seeing that Alice looked uncomfortable, Yuhaka picked up the showerhead and sprayed it on Alice's face. The warm water quickly rinsed away the foam from her face and hands. Alice rubbed her eyes and felt better. After the pain subsided, Alice slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yuhaka with the showerhead. After a moment of eye contact, Yuhaka spoke first, asking Alice, "Are your eyes still bothering you?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice shook her head to indicate that she was alright. After seeing that Alice was fine, Yuhaka explained to her that it was best not to get shampoo in her eyes, otherwise it would hurt. After hearing Yuhaka's reminder, Alice nodded to indicate that she understood.

After seeing that Alice understood, Yuhaka went to wash his own hair. However, suddenly remembering something, Yuhaka turned back to Alice and asked, "Do you want Yuhaka to wash Alice's hair?" Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice was slightly taken aback and then nodded subconsciously. However, before Alice could react, Yuhaka was already sitting behind Alice and placing his small hands on Alice's long golden hair.

"Yoyo's coming! OwO~ Tilt your head back a little~"

Feeling Yuhaka's gentle touch, Alice immediately felt relaxed. This reminded Alice of the old maid who used to take good care of her, someone who felt like a mother to her. This made Alice feel very at ease. However, the maid had retired due to her age. Now, Yuhaka felt like that mother to her.

"How is it? Does it hurt?" Yuhaka asked Alice while helping her wash her hair, looking in the mirror in front of her. Feeling the soft sensation on her hair, Alice replied a little shyly, "...Hmm, it feels good. Yuhaka, do you often wash other people's hair?" Hearing Alice's question, Yuhaka nodded and said, "That's right, Yuhaka often washes other people's hair. Then everyone washes Yuhaka's hair too =w=~" As she spoke, Yuhaka also showed a comfortable expression.

Seeing the expression on Yuhaka's face, Alice couldn't help but think of something. However, Alice was a little curious about where Yuhaka and the others came from. After all, Alice had never heard of such a mobile home-like vehicle before. But Alice felt that it might not be appropriate to ask Yuhaka these questions directly, which made Alice a little conflicted.

Yuhaka also sensed Alice's conflicted emotions. Although Yuhaka didn't use his psychic powers to perceive Alice's thoughts, he roughly knew something. Regardless of whether Yuhaka misunderstood anything, he asked Alice all sorts of other questions.

"Alice, what good food is there in the Kingdom of Belze?" Hearing Yuhaka's question, Alice paused for a moment before thinking and replying, "Probably cabbage, giant frogs, and wyverns, right?" Thinking this, Alice added thoughtfully, "But there's a lot of other good food, though either it's too hard to find or most adventurers can't defeat it."

Upon hearing Alice's words, Yuhaka immediately became interested. After all, Yuhaka came to this world primarily as food, and secondarily to save it. With such a hero present, the goddess who had been summoned probably wished she could strangle him.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's questions, Alice's inner turmoil vanished without a trace. Instead, she became quite curious as to why Yuhaka would ask such questions. Yuhaka explained, "Because Yuu is searching for ingredients while saving the world! =w=~" He added with a proud expression. Hearing this, Alice looked at Yuhaka with the curiosity of a kitten. She hadn't expected Yuhaka to be adventuring with such a grand goal, which filled her with excitement. Alice had always longed for stories of adventurers, and she dreamed of one day wielding her ancestor's sword, gathering companions, and embarking on adventures across the world as a hero.

Unfortunately, given her status, it was practically impossible for her to go on adventures as an adventurer. Alice learned about adventurers only from books that recorded their deeds, and she longed for such an adventurous life.

PS1: Long hair is indeed more troublesome to wash. The author once had hip-length hair, but eventually cut it off.

PS2: When did the word "bathroom" become a sensitive word?

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1946 [A Foreshadowing Here]

After Yuhaka washed Alice's hair, he told her to close her eyes. Then, he used the showerhead to rinse the shampoo foam off Alice's hair. After cleaning it, Yuhaka took a towel and dried Alice's hair. Only after doing all this did Yuhaka wash his own hair. Alice touched the towel on her head and, looking a little embarrassed, thanked Yuhaka.

Alice felt very embarrassed that her savior had to wash her hair after being rescued, although Yuhaka didn't seem to care about such things.

While Yuhaka was washing her hair, Alice, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something and asked Yuhaka, "By the way, Yuhaka, could you tell me about your adventures?" Yuhaka was slightly taken aback by Alice's question, but then nodded and began to tell Alice about her adventures in this world. Although it was a bit short, Alice was quite surprised to hear about Yuhaka and her friends fighting cultists, demons, and monsters. After all, it was rare to hear about cultists and demons. What surprised Alice even more was that Yuhaka and her friends had participated in the previous retrieval mission in the port city. Alice couldn't help but feel great admiration for Yuhaka and her friends!

However, what surprised Alice most was the matter of Fran and Yue. After all, the origins of Fran and Yue astonished her. Fran was a slave rescued by Yuhaka, and Yue's identity shocked her even more. The fact that he had been sealed away as a vampire for countless years was undoubtedly a big deal for Alice. After all, the longer a vampire lives, the stronger he becomes, much like an elf. However, compared to elves, vampires have even longer lifespans. Besides being afraid of silver, holy water, and the sun, vampires have very few physical weaknesses. At least, a fatal injury like having one's brain cut off is not considered a life-threatening injury for a vampire.

Most importantly, vampires are one of the powerful races on the demon side. In the war between humans and demons, vampires are also the main force of the demons. Given this, why would Alice be so wary of vampires? However, during her brief contact with Yuhaka and the others, Alice did not feel that there was anything wrong with Yue. Moreover, if there was something wrong with the other party, Yuhaka would not have told her that Yue's identity was a vampire, right?

Alice, who was thinking about this, also looked like she didn't know what to say. But since Yuhaka believed the other party, then Yue could also be trusted, right?

Alice, who was deep in thought, was thinking about this when she suddenly noticed the cat ears on Yuhaka's head. After all, cat ears are on the head, and Alice wondered if Yuhaka was worried about water getting into his ears when he washed his hair.

Seemingly sensing Alice's confusion, Yuhaka turned around and looked at Alice with an "OwO?" expression, asking, "What's wrong, Alice? Is there a problem?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice, who had been pondering the question, also came to her senses. Looking at Yuhaka, she scratched her soft cheek and said to Yuhaka, "Well, there's a small problem. Aren't you worried about water getting into Yuyu's ears?"

"OwO?" Hearing Alice's question, Yuhaka shook his cat ears and said to Alice, "Don't worry, the water won't get in OwO~" As he spoke, Yuhaka did a little test, and Alice saw that the water flowed around it and didn't enter Yuhaka's ears. Seeing this, Alice showed an "Oh oh oh~" expression. Obviously, Alice was very curious about this, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Yuhaka and asked him how he had created such a way to prevent water from getting into his ears. To Alice's question, Yuhaka said that it was the blessing of the Water Spirit King, which allowed him to prevent water from getting into his cat ears.

Alice was also very interested when she heard this, after all, the blessing of the Water Spirit King sounded very powerful.

Thinking of this, Alice showed a nostalgic expression and said, "Speaking of the Water Spirit King, my hero ancestor once helped him, and he was even in the same party as my hero ancestor when they fought against a demon king. This is why our Belzegu Kingdom has a very good relationship with him..."

Hearing Alice talking to herself, Yuhaka couldn't help but give her an "OwO? ???" look. After all, the Water Spirit King that Yuhaka was talking about was the Water Spirit King from the "Sword Dance of the Spirit Master" world—"Isalia Shiva." The Water Spirit King's blessing on Yuhaka was given to her by her. So, when Yuhaka heard Alice mention the Water Spirit King, he also showed a puzzled look.

At this moment, Yuhaka heard Zelus remind him, "It's not the Elf King of that world, nor is it a similar individual. It's just that some settings are the same. Well... after all, the background settings of Western fantasy are all similar, so it's normal to have similar situations. However, the Water Elf King of this world is not as powerful as Shiwa from the world of Elf Master: Sword Dance."

After hearing Zelus's explanation, Yuhaka nodded with an understanding expression. However, Yuhaka also explained Alice's points to her, because if Alice misunderstood anything and made a mistake, it could cause trouble.

Alice looked a little surprised after hearing Yuhaka's explanation. She had never heard of any other water spirit kings before. However, Alice did not think that Yuhaka was lying. After all, if Yuhaka were lying, he would not have needed to explain these things to her.

Alice, thinking about this, also felt a little confused. Who exactly was Yuhaka to receive the blessing of the Water Spirit King?

Before Alice could figure anything out, Yuhaka rinsed the foam off his head and told Alice not to stand there dumbfounded, since she was going to take a bath and soak in hot water later.

...........................................

...........................................

After playing and splashing around in the bath for a while, Alice and Yuhaka reluctantly stepped out of the hot bath. After drying off the remaining water, they changed into their pajamas. Alice wore a white short dress, which was a bit short and somewhat transparent, but she didn't care too much about it. After all, it was for sleeping, so comfort was more important than anything else.
