"It's just the use of force, and it cannot violate my own principles."

"But does it violate the principles to teach others magic? Not really, right? Didn't you teach Wiz the forbidden technique of transforming into a lich?"

"...One hundred million. This is the price of affection for the future Duke of Hell. I won't bargain this time. If someone else had given me one trillion, I wouldn't teach him no matter how much he gave me." Barnier was silent. After a while, he stretched out a finger: "This time I want cash, and I want to settle the bill first, so that I can use it as start-up capital for my future business and the construction of a dungeon."

"Okay! I'll borrow money later, and I'll find you tomorrow!"

An Luo nodded with satisfaction, and then started annihilating the food on the table again, fully satisfied that he had been hungry for three days, and even though his physical ability was inhuman and would not cause him to become paralyzed by hunger, he was still hungry and painful.

Of course, although he hunted many high-level monsters, he always absorbed all the souls, so he didn't even sell the corpses. The actual money he earned was only a small part of the bounty on the monsters.

Therefore, he planned to go to Alice to borrow some money after he finished eating. After all, the king would give her a large sum of money if she acted like a spoiled child, and she had already become astonishingly rich.

However, he plans to continue to level up, and he will not sell the corpses of high-level monsters, so when will the money be repaid... he can only wait for a while to clean up the dregs of the human forces, and by the way, use the opponent's wealth to Capture them all, or take out the Toxic Slime Hans if necessary to get the bounty.

And he upgraded only to strengthen himself when upgrading, not to get endless skill points. Otherwise, he would have found a way to get a reset potion and downgraded repeatedly to obtain skill points.

Ordinary people will not be short of skill points, because everyone has certain skill points from birth, which is generally called talent, and his talent is very strong, but resetting the level will make him the lowest level of perfection. Not worth it.

After making up his mind, although it was still only the morning, An Luo assigned Barnier a task, asking him to use his special power to see the past, present and future through visual objects, to see various nobles. He found out the harmful parts of human beings and used teleportation magic to reach the royal city.

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

Relying on Her Royal Highness the Princess's wedding ring, An Luo, who was able to navigate the royal city without any hindrance, soon used his hunting skills to find Alice, who had already been marked.

But Alice was inside the room, and the voice of the black-robed mage Lei Yin could be heard from the two female guards beside her.

"...The marriage of the princesses of the royal families in the past to the brave men who defeated the demon king was not just a simple reward for the brave men, but more of a way for the royal family to obtain the blood of the brave men, so that they could always be on top of the world. Today, the talents and foundation of the royal family are far superior to those of ordinary brave men, especially your Highness Alice..."

An Luo knew from the sound that Alice was in class now, which made him consider whether he should wait a while before coming back, since he was not in a hurry anyway.

And just after he had the idea of ​​​​waiting to find Alice, he simply sat on the ground with his back against the wall, intending to squint for a while to relieve himself from not sleeping for three days.

However, improving his attributes could not bring him the energy to work around the clock, so he closed his eyes after struggling to keep up his energy. His tense energy had just slowed down when he was pulled into sleep by the dream demon. In the blink of an eye, he He lost consciousness and simply fell asleep.

but......

He hadn't been able to sleep for long. To be precise, he probably just closed his eyes for a while, when urgent calls came from his ears, and someone kept shaking him.

"...Who... shook me so hard..." An Luo rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he reluctantly opened his eyes, he found that his world seemed to have collapsed significantly.

Of course... when he woke up a little, he realized that he was sleeping too deeply, and he didn't notice that he fell down while sleeping, and now his face was still on the cold floor.

"——Mr. An Luo! Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"

An Luo just raised his head a little and saw that Alice was looking at him with tears in her eyes, looking at his arm covered with dried blood from time to time with a very worried look on her face: "Why is it like this, and why is it in this place?" Fell down? Was there any curse after being injured? Should I find a potionist or a high priest?"

"...Wait a minute, calm down. I just spent too much time on Barnier and am a little tired. The injuries on my body were already taken care of when I came here."

In order to prevent Alice from unnecessary worries, An Luo gave a brief explanation and stood up with the help of Lei Yin who was using healing skills on him.

After waiting for a while, when Her Royal Highness the Princess finally regained her composure, Lei Yin pulled him to the side, asked him to lower his body and whispered in his ear: "Master An Luo, you suddenly didn't come for the past three days, Aili." His Highness Si has always been worried, and would stay alone in the library at night until he fell asleep. Please let me know if you have anything to do next time."

"No...we never agreed to meet from the beginning..."

"That's what I think, but please pay more attention to Your Highness Alice's mood. This is the first time she has someone and friends she can communicate with on an equal footing... I know you have been very busy, but if possible, can you Will you please take some time to play with His Highness today? Because His Highness is so worried about you and has always been a good boy, even for the sake of your fiancée."

"...My fiancée is a good child..."

Glancing back at the young girl who was observing him not far away, An Luo felt like he wanted to complain, but in the end he gave up.

After all, in his opinion, this engagement was not something that could be counted, or it was too inexplicable to make sense. After all, how could a serious person marry a twelve-year-old? ? ?

However... An Luo also had plans to play with Alice. After all, he wanted to obtain a certain amount of start-up funds from the princess.

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

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

Inside the castle, there is a bath for VIPs.

An Luo skillfully used the special magic items equipped in the bathroom to create a large amount of hot water. Simply put, it is a water heater driven by magic power.

Of course, the magic power required for this kind of magic item is not too much, and ordinary people can also use it. However, ordinary people do not have enough magic power and will feel a little tired after using it.

An Luo was lying in the corner of the bathtub, looking at the steam that blurred his vision, letting the warm hot water penetrate into his body, and was driven by exhaustion to fall asleep again, but...

"——Mr. Anluo! You're not sleeping, are you? If you fall asleep in the bathtub, you might drown if you're not careful!"

Alice, who was worried that he would fall asleep in the bathroom, suddenly shouted outside the bathroom door, which made An Luo come back to his senses a little, but he didn't hear it very clearly. He just said casually after regaining his senses a little. .....thank you, I know now......"

"Are you okay? Sounds like you're sleepy?"

"...Probably, it's okay...it's okay..."

"Mr. An Luo?"

"...."

"Why is there no sound again?... Mr. An Luo, if you don't make any sound, I will go in! Really, really... I will really go in!"

There was no sound in the bathroom again, and Alice couldn't help but worry. She wandered back and forth outside the door several times, and finally couldn't hold back and rushed in: "——I, I'm in!"

Since winter had arrived and there was not enough hot water in the room, the vast bathroom was so foggy that Alice couldn't find An Luo for a while, so she could only wave and slap the door hard.

The girl's seemingly slender and weak arms instantly brought up a gust of wind. The fog in the room was blown away in the blink of an eye, leaving An Luo's upper body exposed on the water. He felt a bone-chilling coldness due to the sudden strong wind. Was woken up again.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the culprit. The cute culprit was also looking at him. His little mouth opened and closed like a fish lacking oxygen, his face was as red as a ripe apple, and steam seemed to be coming out of his head. coming.

"...It's just shirtless, why are you shy?"

"B-but...but this is the bathroom, just...that is...!"

The girl subconsciously glanced down where she couldn't see, and then quickly turned her back. She was so shy for a moment that she couldn't even speak completely.

"Okay, okay, calm down. Although I am indeed naked and wearing nothing, you can't see it. I won't stand up again now, so you don't have to worry."

"I, I know, just, just..."

"....Okay, I've finished washing now. Can you prepare some clothes for me? Is there any clothes here that have been used and are specially prepared to be given to others? Just don't choose anything too weird. I'll do it later. The price will be paid.”

"Hey? Clothes, clothes? Ah, I, I know! Go now!"

After saying that, Alice disappeared with a "whoosh!" and looked carefully at the marble on the floor that had been trampled to pieces. This made An Luo, who had felt her terrifying power before, couldn't help but feel sorry for this little girl. Stunned by the terrifying power it holds.

It didn't take long for Alice to come back. She put down her clothes and left in a hurry again.

When An Luo got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, he found Alice by the door and without waiting for him to speak, she spoke first: "Mr. An Luo is also tired today, so let's go to the guest room and take a nap first. ?”

"It's okay, it's okay, I feel refreshed after taking a shower!"

"Really? You're not trying to be brave, are you?"

"Definitely not."

"Then, if it doesn't cause any trouble, let's talk about where you have been these days... okay?"

"No problem at all."

After all, he wanted to borrow 100 million. Even if the other party didn't care about the money, An Luo felt that he had to have some service spirit today.

So he steeled himself and followed Alice, intending to play with the child for a while first, then bring up the matter of borrowing money, and finally go have a good sleep.

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

A luxurious room with a very large area and an extra-large bed in the center.

The owner of the room, Princess Alice of the Kingdom, who was sitting beside the bed, was looking intently at An Luo next to her.

An Luo also frankly told what he was doing these days. Of course, the content must be modified. He signed a contract with the devil to learn devil language and devil magic. These must not be said.

"A few days ago, I originally planned to come to the Royal City, but I happened to know the location of Barnier from a friend, so I immediately set off to follow my friend to transfer magic to the undeveloped dungeon and let my friend wait outside. Went in right away.”

"Alone? Aren't your friends going?"

"Ah~ she is a retired adventurer. I can't force her to go to the dungeon with me, can I?"

"But it's dangerous to conquer the maze alone." Alice's face was filled with worry for a moment.

"It's okay, don't you still believe in my ability?" An Luo smiled and patted Alice on the head, then according to the girl's preferences, he deliberately described the action of conquering the dungeon as very thrilling.

Finally, I met Barnier deep in the dungeon, made a deal with him, and then studied for three days, and adapted it into a peak showdown of will, tactics, and combat power. I fought with him without sleep for three days.

Finally, on the eve of dawn, he defeated the opponent with a slight advantage. The convinced Barnier agreed to his terms and helped him end the war.

"...This is probably what happened, but it is precisely because it is you that I told you about Alice. Please don't tell anyone, otherwise you will be spared the crime of being a leader of the Demon King's Army. , I guess the nobles will try their best to convict me."

"Yes, yes! I won't tell anyone! Even if my father asks me, I won't say it!"

Alice's little face was sullen, and she raised her hands as if to make a promise. At the same time, as if she thought of something, she blushed, lowered her head and murmured shyly: "...Mr. An Luo actually worked so hard for me. I, I'm really happy. In fact, I... I was very sad when Mr. An Luo didn't come on the first day. I was always worried about whether Alice had done something wrong, but today you can again......."

The girl murmured softly, but before she finished speaking, she noticed that An Luo, who was sitting next to him, had fallen down and fell asleep on the bed. .

"...Really, I just promised you that I couldn't fall asleep. Mr. An Luo is really untrustworthy."

Although she was complaining, Alice only had a shy smile on her face, and there was no trace of anger on her body. She also carefully took off his shoes and moved them to the center of the bed. Position and covered with a quilt to prevent him from catching cold in this winter.

Originally, An Luo should have been woken up, but after three days of intense studying and experimenting, he felt even more sleepy after taking a bath. In addition, Alice's bed was top-notch and even came with a bed. With the faint fragrance of a girl, it was so difficult not to fall asleep. He fell into a deep sleep, maybe someone wanted to kill him, and his intuition couldn't wake him up.

But there was a girl next to him who was so powerful that she could kill the entire kingdom, so he didn't need to worry about safety at all.

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

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

When I opened my eyes again, the scenery outside the window seemed to be covered with ink. Just looking at it seemed like I would be sucked in. The overwhelming quality of darkness.

Obviously it was night, and it should be quite late at night, but when he turned his eyes to the other side, he happened to meet the girl with a flower-like smile on her face.

"Good evening~ Mr. An Luo, how did you sleep?"

"Good night... I had a good sleep, no, I should say the most comfortable one ever."

"Hmph~ You are happy, but I am very angry. You obviously promised to play with me today, but you actually slept through the whole day. Mr. Anluo is really too much." Alice pretended to be dissatisfied and whispered. He hummed and turned his head.

However, compared to expressing dissatisfaction, An Luo felt that it was more like being coquettish, or that he wanted to coax her.

An Luo, who lost to sleep, also realized his miscalculation, quickly sat up and touched her head, saying sincerely: "I'm sorry, if I have the chance, I will definitely make it up to you, and I will play with you when I am free. Three days is no problem.”

"......real?"

"Of course, Alice is so cute, this is more of a reward than compensation! How could I escape?"

"Y-really? So, have you made an appointment?"

Alice, whose face was red, rarely lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, but looked at him expectantly.

"Yes, we have an appointment."

An Luo smiled and rubbed Alice's head again, agreeing to this promise.

Although he felt that it was not good to do this casually, there was nothing he could do now that he needed Alice's help, and Alice herself really wanted someone to accompany her.

Alice has said in the past that she and her brother had a very good relationship when they were very young. However, because they are royal family members, even if they are siblings, they will become very alienated once they become wise. This makes it impossible for her to be normal with her brother anymore. Chatting, let alone having fun, what you will face from now on is a long period of loneliness, so you hope that he can accompany you, even though the two parties have not known each other for twenty days.

After chatting like this for a while, An Luo also found an appropriate opportunity to propose that he wanted to borrow some money.

"There's no need for it. There's no use for me to take the money anyway." Alice didn't ask him what he was doing with the money. She directly opened a cabinet in the room and her own small vault and asked without looking back: "An How much does Mr. Luo need?”

"That...100 million?"

"Is 100 million enough? Mr. An Luo should have no one in this world to support him, so would it be better to have more?"

"...What a rich man's speech, can I hug your lap?"

"Of course not!"

"Just kidding, 100 million is fine. I will pay you back as soon as possible."

"Mr. An Luo is really, really! Making such a strange joke again!"

.....During this late night, An Luo and Alice just sat on the bed, chatting all night long with nothing to do. Until dawn the next day, Alice couldn't help but fell asleep. This was the longest night chat in history. Comes the end.

An Luo disappeared from the girl's boudoir with one hundred silver coins of Eris with a face value of one million.

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

When they returned home using teleportation magic, Megumin and Yuyou had already gotten up, and they were making a fuss because he disappeared for several days and suddenly appeared again.

But not long after, he went to Wiz's magic item shop and handed 100 million Eris to Barnier.

"Boy, maybe you can do better as a pretty boy than as a brave man." Barnier smiled and opened the money bag, teasing him while counting the number of magic silver coins.

"Wait! I haven't said yet, did you get this money from the princess?"

"Does this need to be said? It's obvious, but...why do you not have any negative emotions when you are called a pretty boy?" Barnier touched his chin in confusion, very puzzled. Looking him up and down.

"got used to."
