I am the former civilized hero.

The room was filled with fragrance. Alicia blinked and said in surprise: "You really know how to cook. The pan flipping you just now was so handsome."

"Haha, I never brag, go sit down. Ying, set the table."

"I'll help too." Alicia volunteered, opened the rice cooker and started scooping rice. She piled her own bowl high, but when she noticed the strange looks behind her, she turned her head and pouted.

"It smells so good, of course I have to eat more. Also, don't talk nonsense!"

A meal of just 4 taels of rice, what else can I say.

Ryan shrugged and took a bowl of rice for her. When they reached the dining room on the second floor, Ying had already set the table.

It was evening, and the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was dyed golden, with a few seagulls flying around. It was quite magnificent. As for the room, it was even more beautiful.

Two pink-haired girls stood side by side, one was cool and the other was enthusiastic. Although they had very different personalities, they looked like a pair of sisters.

Sakura wore a T-shirt and had her long hair tied into a ponytail, looking smart and capable. Alicia was still wearing the slightly gorgeous long dress, holding up her head with her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Ryan, you're looking at us so intently, you must be thinking about beauty, right?"

Ryan's eyes jumped. He didn't expect to be seen through. He sat down awkwardly and coughed lightly: "You learned a lot of idioms during your trip to Shenzhou."

Alicia stretched out her slender fingers and began to count: "Yes, I also learned how to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house, a match made in heaven, to be a playboy, to be fickle, to be easily attracted by other men..."

"Stop, there's something messy behind you."

"Hey, what do you think?"

Ryan glanced at the puzzled Sakura and his scalp tingled. Fortunately, the female killer was a sister complex and couldn't understand what Alicia was saying.

"Mebius knows?"

"It's all over the headquarters, and they dragged me into it. It's really interesting to see dear Mobius like that from time to time. It's a pity that I couldn't take a picture of it."

Damn, those gossip agents are gossiping.

Ryan gritted his teeth and remembered his own words, "What's wrong with a hero being lustful?" This was the best alibi, but he forgot about Mebius's reaction.

Thinking that it was useless to explain to Alicia, he decisively raised his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. We'll talk in detail after we finish eating."

He made braised lion's head and stir-fried pork kidney, and considering Alicia's appetite, he also added a portion of shredded pork with fish flavor and vegetable soup.

Sure enough, as soon as Ryan spoke, Alicia's attention was diverted. She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of kidney and put it into her mouth, her expression of satisfaction almost overflowing.

"It's delicious. Ryan, you really weren't bragging."

It was chewy, tender and had the aroma of pickled peppers, and was no worse than what she had eaten in Shenzhou.

"I've already told you that I'm the most honest person. Come eat, I've cooked some more."

"Okay, but Ryan, I finally understand why you can mess around with other girls."

"Don't use those crappy idioms of yours!"

Alicia stuck out her tongue and quickly buried her head in eating. Her movements were not elegant, but they were definitely not vicious either. She was just very fast, and the pile of rice collapsed at a very fast speed.

Sakura ate slowly as usual, still thinking about the relationship between Alicia and Ryan.

This Miss Ellie is really likable, and Ryan is also enthusiastic about her. Are they lovers? But what about Dr. Mebius?

Also, why do I feel like I'm being dragged into this?

As she was thinking, she suddenly realized that Alicia was eating much faster than she thought. In the blink of an eye, the full bowl of rice had been finished. She took a deep breath with satisfaction, got up and went downstairs to get more rice.

"Eat quickly, or you'll just have to lick the plate later." Ryan picked up a few pieces of shredded meat and put them in the girl's bowl.

"Miss Alicia, if you eat so much, won't you get fat?"

"Shh, don't let her hear such words, she will argue that she is enjoying a delicious meal."

Ying took a bite of rice and whispered, "Ms. Alicia is quite likable."

"Of course. There's a saying that goes, 'I love everyone, and everyone loves me.' Alicia just took this saying to its extreme."

Ying was stunned for a moment. She was also someone who had seen the dark side of the world, and she knew how difficult it was to put this sentence into practice. It took her a long time to pick up the bowl.

“It’s remarkable.”

"What are you two whispering about?" Alicia came back and found that the rice in her bowl was sticking out again.

"I was just praising you. I have some pickles that I made myself. Would you like to try some?"

Ryan took out a can of chopped pepper beef as if by magic. Alicia scooped a spoonful out of curiosity, her mouth slightly opened due to the spiciness, and she quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice.

"Looks like I'll have to eat two more bowls."

"Eat as much as you want. There's plenty of food."

"Hehe, you're not as stingy as Mebius said."

"That's the scorer."

"Since you've invited me to dinner, I'll keep the bad things you said a secret for you."

Alicia buried her head in her food again. Seeing her like that, Ryan also felt full. The girl was not greedy, she just loved the things she liked with all her heart.

Well, it’s definitely not because I’m greedy.

With her around, the meal was very lively and in the end not even any soup was left. While Ying was washing the dishes, the two went to the living room to drink tea.

The scented tea exuded a refreshing fragrance, and the coffee table was filled with snacks and nuts. Ryan glanced at Alicia.

She was curled up comfortably on the sofa, with her hands on her slightly bulging belly, looking extremely satisfied.

"I'm full. I'm full. I just came back from Europe and Japan. It's nice to be able to return to my daily life right away."

"Europe and Japan? What did you do?" Ryan held the teacup and glanced at Alicia.

I ate so much but my stomach didn’t feel full, so where did all the food go?

"Hunting Honkai beasts. One can use ice, and the other is very fast. It really exhausted me." Alicia lay on the sofa, holding her face and swinging her white legs. "Ryan, I feel relieved to see you."

The full chest drooped, with the deep ravine facing Ryan, and the man looked away without showing any expression.

"Where can I rest assured?"

"You look just like a married man." Alicia turned around and saw the pink-haired girl washing dishes in an apron with her ponytail swaying gently. She turned back and said, "Although I don't care, you are too fickle. Someone will care."

puff.

Ryan almost choked on his tea and quickly put down the cup, only to meet Alicia's cunning eyes again.

"Don't tease me, you've already guessed the real reason."

"Creating an alibi?"

"Well, I don't like letting others speculate. Even if those little geniuses get the truth, they will only cause trouble for themselves."

"You sound quite gentle."

"I've always been considerate."

The two looked at each other for two seconds, then both smiled. Ryan was even a little moved.

Alicia came running over in a hurry, with no intention of testing him at all. She just guessed the truth and was worried that she was thinking too much, so when she saw that Ryan was in normal condition, she ate happily.

This is too naive for an old pervert.

"Don't worry, everything is under my control. Even if the Herrscher targets me, it's normal." Ryan twisted open a macadamia nut, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, "But aren't you curious why the Herrscher targets me?"

"Can the reason help you relieve stress?" Alicia tilted her head.

"Of course not. No one can help with this matter, but it is essentially very simple." Ryan leaned forward and said word by word: "It's just a life-and-death war. On the contrary, because of this, I feel relieved."

Conjecture becomes reality, and the unknown becomes known, which is also a good thing for a person on the journey of destiny.

"Then I won't ask. You have your secrets. Just be happy."

Ryan was startled. He had prepared many arguments, but none of them came in handy. He smiled knowingly, "Ellie, you are the one who is considerate."

"Yeah, I've always felt that way." Alicia blinked, stood up and paced in the living room: "Anyway, the world is always full of surprises, we can only try our best to deal with them, and you have done a lot of things quietly."

"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, Sakura is also an important character, and her fighting power is indispensable."

"Hehe, there are Hua and Weiwei, oh, Mebius, Mei and Kevin too, and of course me too. Are you organizing some kind of hero team?"

"That's about it. Humanity will need heroes in the future. To be honest, it would be strange if there is no response to the Honkai." Ryan waved his hands. He had figured this out a long time ago. Then he saw the excitement on Alicia's face and his heart skipped a beat.

Hey.

Ryan's eyes blurred, and Alicia had already rushed in front of him quickly, holding on to the armrest, her face quickly approaching, her blue eyes sparkling.

The soul of middle school student was burning fiercely, unable to be hidden, which made Ryan suddenly remember who created the Thirteen Heroes. Without the soul of middle school student, how could there be the "mark" and ranking.

"you......"

Before he could finish his words, his hand was tightly held, making Ryan feel a little hot.

“Please let me participate in this interesting, no, great thing!”

Chapter 115: Alicia's Birthday Campaign!

To be honest, Ryan had no intention of forming a team of heroes. He just wanted to form a small group in advance for himself, for humanity, and to fight against the little geniuses of the Fire Moths.

After all, the world line has been changed beyond recognition, and no one knows who will die early, but combined with the Fusion Warrior Plan, it becomes very meaningful.

In the future, individual combat power will surely overwhelm the military, and this approach is very much in line with Alicia's appetite. In fact, normal people would wonder why Ryan is so sure about these candidates, but Super Alicia doesn't care.

"Ting ding, this is my latest plan!"

Two hours later, Ryan was drinking tea in the living room and Sakura was mopping the floor when they saw Alicia, who was wearing a pair of plain glasses, suddenly jump out, holding a piece of paper triumphantly.

Sakura was confused, but Ryan took it reluctantly. This Alicia was willing to help no matter what.

What kind of plan is this?

Ryan glanced at the 'plan' with someone's head drawn on it. There were very few words, mostly doodles, but he understood the meaning.

"Wait a minute, when did I say there was going to be a celebration? And what is there to celebrate? What's the point?"

"You don't understand, it's ideals and emotions that connect us. Uniting everyone is what I'm best at, right, Sakura?"

The girl mopping the floor nodded in confusion. This was indeed true. In just half a day, she became friends with Alicia. She was indeed capable.

"Hey, aren't we being too high-profile by holding a celebration right under the nose of the Fire Moth?"

"Everyone you mentioned is a friend. It's okay for everyone to be happy together. Even if you cut off all contact, will they stop having wild thoughts?"
