Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 276

Ten minutes passed, and apart from the food around Alice which remained untouched, Roya had devoured most of the food. The boy let out a satisfied burp and leaned back in his chair with an air of importance.

Alice's mind was no longer on the food on her plate. Seeing Roya's behavior, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Brother Roya, you really are quite unconventional."

Roya shrugged and pointed to the remaining food in Alice's bowl, saying, "Don't just watch me, eat some too."

Alice's gaze lingered on the chicken leg on her plate, and she didn't stand on ceremony. Although Alice was a girl, she still consumed a considerable amount of food every day.

Luo Ya waited for five minutes, somewhat lost in thought, before Alice finished eating. The girl somewhat reservedly wiped the stains from her mouth with a napkin, and the two of them were idle for a moment.

Before Roya could say anything, Alice spoke first, asking, "Um, brother, if—I mean, if—I wanted to go out and become an adventurer, would you support me?"

The girl gazed at the boy with expectant eyes. White light shone on Alice's tender face, but her clear eyes unusually looked away, avoiding eye contact with the boy.

Although the conversation that morning led Alice to believe that Roya was a rare person who wouldn't object to her capricious request, for some reason, the girl still had a strange feeling that she had done something wrong.

Luo Ya took out a napkin and wiped his mouth. The boy looked up at the small, thin figure sitting in the chair.

Roya thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, whatever Alice wants to do, your brother will support you."

Alice's face lit up with surprise, and her anxiety vanished. She quickly looked around and found that there was no one else there except for Roya.

The maid who had been standing at the door was unaware of the conversation between the two people inside.

Alice came up to Roya, reached out and hugged him, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, leaned forward, and a faint fragrance wafted over.

The girl's sudden action caught Luo Ya off guard. Feeling the petite body in his arms, Luo Ya, for some reason, thought of Ai Xia.

That guy also liked to do things like Alice, running over and stretching out his arms so he could hug her.

Alice let go of his hand and simply sat on Roya's lap. Her two slender legs swayed slightly. Alice lay in Roya's arms, looked up at him, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Then, Brother Roya, please take care of me from now on."

Luo Ya nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window.

The sky was pitch black, but beneath it, a cluster of lights flickered, and the dim yellow candlelight stretched endlessly, illuminating the entire city in a twilight.

Luo Ya found a comfortable position and lay back on the chair. The girl in his arms leaned against the boy with practiced ease. It seemed that this wasn't the first time this guy had done this.

Luo Ya reached out and stroked the girl's head. Her beautiful hair cascaded down to her waist, and strands of hair slipped down to Luo Ya's nose, making him feel a little ticklish.

Alice looked up at Roya's expression. Roya didn't seem displeased at all, and didn't seem to care at all about Alice's somewhat rash behavior.

The boy always had that calm expression, a gentle smile on his lips, and an aura that put people at ease.

It was only the first time we met, and we hadn't spent much time together.

But the other person always gives off a feeling that you can open up and talk to them.

Roya was unaware of the girl's thoughts; Alice's actions might seem somewhat abrupt to others.

But Roya was also a brother who had taken care of many younger sisters.

This was somewhat unexpected for Roya, but he was able to accept it quickly.

Luo Ya had faced similar situations before, such as Aisha suddenly getting angry and making a fuss about things like Luo Ya being biased.

It turned out that after asking around, he realized that he had been spending all his time with Kanroji Mitsuri and rarely spoke to Aisha, neglecting Aisha's feelings. However, on that day, Aisha was trying her best to impress him, but his eyes were fixed on Mitsuri the whole time.

This incident left Roya both amused and exasperated.

After that, Roya became more sensitive, especially towards little girls.

After all, you can never guess what a little girl is thinking, and all you need to do is go along with her wishes.

"Brother Roya, I want to hear a story, your story."

Alice nestled comfortably in Roja's arms. Roja's head-patting technique was superb, making Alice feel incredibly pleasurable. Alice felt a long-lost sense of drowsiness, and Roja had a wonderfully pleasant scent.

Chapter 290 Rapid Progress

Alice felt even more comfortable as the night breeze caressed her face.

Luo Ya felt comfortable, just like the girl, who was like a gentle kitten, her fingertips feeling warm and smooth, her hair brushing against them.

"A story? Mine?"

"Yes, I want to hear about you, big brother."

After pondering for a moment, Roya slowly began to say, "Well, there are some. In my world, there is actually a kind of being similar to ghouls. They have a long history and powerful strength, but these come at a price. The biggest price is that they need to eat human flesh to satisfy their appetite."

"what?"

Alice gasped slightly, then sat up from the boy, her face turning grim.

After meeting Roya's calm gaze, Alice slowly lay back down.

"What happened next?" Alice asked with some concern.

“Of course, they all died later.” Roya’s movements didn’t stop at all. He moved Alice up a little, as the previous position was a bit uncomfortable.

"How did he die?" Alice followed Roya's movements and leaned closer to the boy.

"I killed him." Roya remained calm, his tone unchanged.

"They're all dead?" Alice pressed.

“They’re all dead,” Roya replied.

Alice sat down and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, instead, he looked puzzled.

“I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”

Alice didn't say those words aloud. She looked at Roya, her pale golden eyes appearing very calm at that moment, but the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth had vanished without a trace.

Noticing Alice's gaze, Roya asked with some confusion, "Alice, are you still listening?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, then nodded, her expression becoming somewhat serious.

"They are called ghosts, and the strongest among them is called the Ghost King. The Ghost King distributes his blood to ordinary humans. Among these ordinary humans are many with exceptional talents, and those who can withstand the blood of the Ghost King will gain special abilities, which are called Blood Ghost Arts."

Roya paused, glanced at Alice, and seeing that she was listening intently, Roya continued, "Of course, the Demon King has the right to control the life and death of those demons, and the twelve strongest demons among those controlled are called the Upper Moon and the Lower Moon. There are twelve Upper Moons and Lower Moons in total, with six Upper Moons and the same for the Lower Moons."

Alice frowned slightly and said seriously, "In that case, wouldn't the other side be very difficult to deal with?"

Roya shrugged and said, "Who says otherwise?"

Alice didn't continue speaking, waiting for the boy to continue telling the story.

"However, these ghosts all have one thing in common: they are extremely afraid of sunlight. The Ghost King is among them, but he wants to find a plant that exists in legends and can make ghosts no longer afraid of sunlight."

"When ghosts eat people, it naturally causes panic among the townspeople. At that time, the adventurers in the town were not very strong, so everyone worked together to fight against the ghosts and prevent them from coming out to eat people."

"That's probably the background of this matter."

Luo Ya looked up at Alice. The girl still had a slightly nervous expression on her face. Luo Ya thought for a moment and then gently comforted her, "There's no need to be nervous. This matter has been resolved, and I've killed the Ghost King."

Alice nodded, a strange light flickering in her eyes, and leaned against Roya's chest.

The boy's chest was very strong, and the girl nestled in Roya's arms, their two golden heads resting together, looking surprisingly harmonious.

The night breeze, carrying a strong sense of autumn, came to the two of them. The gentle breeze caressed their hair, and the golden strands swayed slightly in the evening wind.

Luo Ya's storytelling skills are average, but because it is based on personal experience, his narration sounds very real.

How to hunt ghosts, what special abilities ghosts have, and why do people become ghosts?

Roya talked for a long time until the girl yawned sleepily and fell into a deep sleep in Roya's arms.

Roya's voice stopped abruptly, his gaze falling on Alice's quiet and delicate sleeping face as he shook his head with a wry smile.

However, this was not a place to sleep. Luo Ya called out to the door, and the maid who had been standing at the door strode over. The maid looked at Alice in Luo Ya's arms, then at Luo Ya's calm face, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

"Your Highness really trusts you," the maid said with some emotion, gently lifting Alice from Roya's arms and nodding slightly.

Alice frowned slightly as the maid took over her duties, seemingly feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The maid moved more gently, trying her best not to disturb Alice's sleep.

"Then, I'll leave Alice to you. I'm going to rest now."

"Ah."

Their conversation ended there. Luo Ya got up, stretched, and walked towards his room.

Nothing happened that night. After reading for a while, Luo Ya fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes and got up early the next morning, he was fine.

As always, she brushed her teeth and washed her face, wiped her wet cheeks with a towel, looked at herself in the glasses, tidied herself up a bit, and then left the room.

The Royal Palace was certainly not a tourist resort.

The capital city is currently severely understaffed because the Demon King's army could attack at any time, and the attacks are becoming more frequent than before. Therefore, more reserves are needed to go to the front lines to fight against the Demon King's army.

The reserves are only a part of it; the main force is actually the adventurers. These adventurers do not only refer to those born and raised in the capital, but also include elite adventurers from various states and counties.

And Roya was a high-level adventurer recommended by that remote town.

Of course, Roya is considered one of the strongest among these elite adventurers, and his record is the most brilliant.

The old chairman strongly recommended Roya, eventually praising him to the skies.

Seven adventurers made it into the city in the end, but only Roya stood out.

Alice only met Roya.

Then the following series of events occurred.
