Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

But now, his little princess no longer needs him.

Thinking of this, Claire couldn't help but wail in pain.

Damn it, he can do it all, why not me?

At that moment, time stretched out infinitely long. A meal that should have only lasted twenty minutes felt like thirty or forty years to Claire.

She had so much to say, but when she saw Alice's delicate face and pure eyes, Claire suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, that's it."

Claire sighed deeply, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

Chapter 300 Getting Ready to Depart (4k)

From then on, there was one more heartbroken person in the world.

Roya noticed Claire's changes. Although he had been eating, it didn't mean he wasn't paying attention to what was happening outside.

Roya easily noticed Claire's change in expression.

However, there was nothing Roya could do about Claire's sadness.

For every winner, there is a loser. The winner here is myself, and the loser there is Claire.

Resources are already limited, so things like lesbian relationships are not advisable.

After dinner, Roya and Alice walked away from each other, while Claire had already left the room, realizing that this place was not suitable for her.

Alice's gaze remained fixed on Roya, and the girl seemed quite oblivious to Claire's change.

Alice's focus was more on Roja.

The maid came to clear the plates, and Alice lay lazily on the chair, her posture bearing a striking resemblance to Roja's earlier slouching.

The young man looked at the petite girl with some oddness. Both of them were lying back on the chair in this position, exuding a lazy vibe.

If Claire were around, Alice would definitely give her a lecture.

But Roya wasn't Claire. Roya just shrugged; he didn't care. Roya went straight to the point and asked, "Alice, where do you want to go?"

Alice reached out her slender fingers and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Me? I still want to go somewhere farther away."

"Somewhere further away?"

Roya frowned. The phrase "a little further away" was too vague, and he had no way of knowing what Alice meant.

Alice tentatively asked, "Hey, brother, do you think it's okay for us to become adventurers?"

Really?

Upon hearing Alice's words, Roja was not shocked. Alice's previous actions had already shown that she had always wanted to become an adventurer.

Seemingly realizing that her request was a bit excessive, Alice immediately said, "Of course, it would be nice to go to town to play. Last time I went to town, the shopkeepers on the street gave me a lot of toys."

However, just as the girl said those words, Luo Ya's calm voice rang out at the same time.

"can."

Alice paused, her face showing a mixture of surprise and delight. The girl stood up and looked at Roya with a look of surprise, asking, "Really?"

Roya repeated what he had just said: "Okay."

Alice cheered immediately. The girl went straight to Roya, grabbed his hand, and shouted to him, "I knew it! Brother loves Alice the most!"

Luo Ya patted the girl's head helplessly. The young man stood up and said to the girl, "In that case, let's go and prepare quickly."

There are definitely adventurers' guilds in the royal capital, and quite a few of them.

There are definitely monsters outside the capital, and their numbers are also quite large, and their levels are relatively high.

Despite the peaceful and prosperous appearance of the capital, the real barrier is the towering city walls that separate the outside world from the inside.

The capital city's lack of manpower is no joke.

Alice is indeed strong in combat, but she has hardly ever made a move. The girl is quite young, only twelve or thirteen years old, although in this world, fourteen is the age when one can get married.

Even so, a girl is still a girl, and the royal family does not intend to use Alice as a weapon.

Therefore, unless there is a particularly big problem that requires Alice's intervention, she is generally not sent to the battlefield.

The reason Alice was kept in the capital was also to deter the other side.

The meaning of a descendant of a hero and a holy sword to those who attack the capital every day is self-evident.

This is also the real reason why those demon king's military officers only ever launched small-scale attacks on the palace.

If Alice weren't stationed in the capital, and those Demon King's military officers saw an opportunity, they would surely launch a frenzied attack on the capital like sharks smelling blood.

It is precisely because of Alice's presence that, so far, although the Demon King's army frequently comes to harass us, it has only been harassment.

Alice was pleased; Roya had given the girl two hours to prepare.

Two hours was too long for Alice.

For a moment, Alice was at a loss for what to do. After thinking for a while, she slapped her forehead and picked up a pen and paper to write and draw on.

The letter essentially said that she had gone out to play and that everyone should not worry, as she was accompanied by her bodyguard knight, Roya, who was very powerful and could protect her.

They only said where they were going and how long they would be back, without saying anything else.

Even if she hadn't said anything, she would probably still have returned before dark, since Alice didn't want everyone to worry too much.

Roya was her partner, and to some extent, Alice's actions were partly due to Roya's influence.

Luo Ya was certainly not an outsider.

However, if you tell those people your exact location, then this trip will inevitably end in failure.

She wanted to be an adventurer and experience the life of an adventurer, instead of being followed by a group of knights who would surround her and treat her like a child.

There were very few words written on the letter.

Alice had thought about sneaking out and leaving a note or something, telling everyone not to worry. The note would clearly explain why she was going out, where she was leaving from, her return time, and some words of apology for making her parents worry.

But when it really came to this, the contents of the letter were quite little.

Alice remembered what Roja had said to her.

They are not Alice, you are Alice. You know what you want.

Alice thought about it and ultimately only wrote this much.

The girl placed the paper on the table in the most conspicuous place. Alice casually picked up the book next to her, which was her favorite story collection. She used the book to cover the paper, revealing the words on it.

Alice did not leave immediately, but instead simulated several times whether the servants would notice the paper on the desk first when they passed by the room.

The girl adjusted her position again before nodding in satisfaction.

What was meant to be left behind has already been left behind; this time, she's going to be willful for once.

The girl went to the wardrobe, opened the inner wardrobe, and the antique wardrobe, which exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, opened to reveal one long dress after another inside.

There are many clothes, and even the silk garments hidden in the closet are still exquisite.

A small portion of them are formal wear, most are for everyday use, and some are for special occasions.

Looking at these clothes, the girl was stumped for the first time.

Alice didn't usually think much of these clothes, since she wore them every day, changing them daily, sometimes even three times a day. To her, these things were just so-so.

But when she actually went out, she realized how conspicuous this thing was. Wearing it was like telling everyone that she had run away from the palace.

Alice wants to be an adventurer and doesn't want to be looked at differently by others.

After thinking for a moment, Alice finally chose a beige dress.

This is a dress, but the skirt isn't very long, only reaching the knees.

Alice didn't actually like this dress that much. She usually preferred to wear plain white dresses, but wearing a white dress on an adventure would seem too strange.

Alice took off her long dress, revealing her pearly white skin. Taking off the long dress was a bit cumbersome, but fortunately Alice was quick and nimble. Although her maid usually helped her change clothes, she was able to take off this long dress.

Alice's long dress fell to the ground, and she quickly put on a beige dress, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the doorway.

The door was naturally tightly closed, but for some reason, she always subconsciously thought that a maid would suddenly open the door, and that the maid would notice Alice's strange behavior, thus ruining her chance and causing her to be scolded by her teacher and older brother.

It was under this psychological pressure that Alice's heart was pounding violently.

Adrenaline surged, and a few involuntary blushes appeared on the girl's cheeks. In the quiet room, only the sound of her heartbeat could be heard.

Alice has always been a well-behaved child, and naturally she felt very nervous about doing something so heinous for the first time.

The thing she was worried about didn't happen. Everything went smoothly. The girl changed out of her short skirt quickly, the door wasn't knocked on, and no maid suddenly rushed out to catch her red-handed.

Alice's nervousness gradually subsided. She picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground, thought for a moment, and placed them on the chair.

There was plenty of time; even after doing all of this, less than half an hour had passed.

Alice even had time to look at herself in the mirror.

To Alice's surprise, the skirt wasn't as bad as she had imagined.

If Alice wore a pure white dress, she would give others a sense of elegance and composure.

So this beige short skirt is the kind of style that's lively and cute.
