I like traveling the most

After Aqua learned about the development of instant noodles, she asked Sato Kazuma to take her with her. She said that she could be a taster to check the taste. Sato Kazuma thought about it and agreed.

Huihui and Youyou also became tasters. Darkness helped them prepare materials and venues.

And today happened to be Ryuzi's monthly maintenance day. Xiaolin sent her back to Axel last night and will pick her up tomorrow.

...Huh? Am I alone?

No, no, no, they just have something to do, not abandoned! Yes, that's right, that's it!

"Don't you want to accompany Alice?"

"How could that be? I wish I could stay with Alice every day."

Xiaolin rubbed Alice's cheek.

Today is a day off, and he is accompanying the princess to stroll around the palace. Even though it is a scenery that she has long been tired of, Alice's face is filled with a happy smile.

When they came to the corridor, a strong fragrance came.

Alice sniffed and exclaimed in a low voice: "Hmm... What a delicious aroma!"

"It seems to be coming from this room."

Xiao Lin pointed to the room not far ahead, which should be the kitchen if he remembered correctly.

"Alice, do you want to go and take a look?"

"No, no, it's too impolite to peek into other people's rooms... But, this smell is really good... I can't help it!"

Finally, Her Royal Highness succumbed to the aroma.

"Shh--"

Pressing their index fingers on their lips, they made a whispering gesture to each other, and then walked towards the kitchen lightly. The two of them looked inside, one up and one down, and found a familiar figure in front of the stove.

"Huh...Rain?"

"Ah! Ai, Princess Alice?! How could you, how could you come to such a place?!"

The sudden opening scared the people in the kitchen, and when she saw the person coming, her expression became even more flustered-but Xiao Lin thought that it was largely because she was holding a plate in her hand.

Alice, who thought she had scared others, apologized quietly: "I'm sorry, because I smelled a very fragrant smell... Um, what are you eating now? It looks like a dish I haven't seen before."

"Ah! This, this is really embarrassing for you! Ah, this is so embarrassing." Lei Yin was ashamed.

Xiaolin suspected that if she hadn't had to hold the plate with both hands, she would definitely cover her red cheeks. What is she eating? Is it necessary to be so shy?

Alice sniffed the air: "By the way, this smell is really appetizing... Really... It makes people want to eat it..."

Stare————

While she said this, she stared at the food on the plate. Xiaolin also looked over.

Is that... pizza?

Lei Yin asked uncertainly: "Um... Alice? You don't want to try it... do you?"

"Yes! Very much! Can I try it?"

"No, no! You must never let Alice eat this kind of thing!"

She hid the plate behind her in a panic.

Alice begged pitifully, "Don't say that. Just eat one slice, okay?"

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Um...Rain, you're mean."

"Even if you put on that expression, no, no! If Lady Kureya knew that I let Alice eat civilian food... I'd be scolded."

No matter how lovable the princess made her expression, Rain would not give in, because she was afraid of the female knight's power.

Then, the female mage sent a signal to Xiaolin for help, but Xiaolin turned his head and whistled, pretending not to see it, which made her gnashed her teeth in anger.

Then——

Alice suddenly greeted the kitchen door: "Hey, isn't this Kureya? We just happened to be talking about you."

"Huh?! Lady Kureya?! You misunderstood, this is just——"

The female mage turned around in a panic and wanted to explain, but in this way, the plate she hid behind her had no protection, and Alice would naturally not miss this great opportunity.

"I'm going to start... bite!"

"Wow!!!!"

She quickly snatched a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, causing Rayne to exclaim.

"Hmm... It's delicious! The ketchup and cheese are strongly blended together! The crust is also very chewy... This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food in my life!"

"Lady Kureya is not here at all! Your Highness Alice, you lied to me, right?!"

Rayne was angry.

Alice laughed: "I'm sorry... But can I have another slice?"

"Didn't Princess Alice say that only one slice would be enough? I really can't let you continue eating this time!" Rein firmly refused.

Then——

Alice looked at the door again and said in surprise: "Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this Kureya? I was thinking of having pizza with Rein!"

"Ah, Lady Kureya, I'm so sorry! You had me by your side, but this happened——"

"...Bite."

I just saw this scene!

The female mage widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Love, Princess Alice?! You actually used the same method to deceive me again?!"

"Chew... Hmm, it's delicious!"

The clever princess deceived her guard mage with her excellent mind.

With tears in his eyes, Lei Yin looked at Alice who was eating with relish, and sighed helplessly: "Hey...it's only for today, otherwise I will really get scolded in the end."

Just look at Kazuma Sato yesterday. He just made the princess eat a bowl of cat rice, and was made to sit on his knees all night and yelled that I was wrong.

Lei Yin looked at Xiao Lin, making him a little uncomfortable. Could it be that he suspected that he was the one who led the princess into trouble?

Wait, this is slander!

He dared to swear to Aqua that he never taught Alice anything bad. It would be better to say that it was the other way around. It was Alice who used Xiaolin to attract hatred.

...Of course, he doesn't mind either.

Xiao Lin closed his eyes and pretended to be silent in the kitchen doorpost. Lei Yin rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything.

What else can be done?

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

"Ah, Your Highness Alice..."

"What's wrong?"

"Please don't move, there's sauce on the corner of your mouth."

The female mage took out a handkerchief from her pocket and thoughtfully wiped the sauce from the corners of Her Royal Highness's mouth.

At this moment, they don't have a hierarchical master-servant relationship, but more like sisters who have a good relationship. No, probably in Lei Yin's heart, he already regarded Alice as his sister, so that's why he doted on her so much.

"...Okay, wipe it off."

"Thank you, Rein. Also, the pizza...is very delicious!"

"That's not the case. You've given me the award."

Rein waved his hand.

Pizza, a common dish, is enough for ordinary people to have the skills to do, and it does not require any difficult operations. It will not be too unpalatable if you follow the steps, so there is nothing worthy of praise by Her Royal Highness.

Alice's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Just tell the chef, can he make pizza for me in the palace?"

"Well... it should be possible, but I think the pizza would be more delicious if made by a professional chef."

"Don't say that. You have to help me when I go to convince Kureya."

Then Alice and Xiaolin left the kitchen. She thought she would be satisfied just like that, but her mind was completely occupied by the delicious taste of pizza. And Alice knew very well that even if Rein was asked to help Kureya, she would not agree, so she targeted Xiaolin again.

"Brother, can you accompany me to the royal capital?"

The girl crossed her hands and intertwined her fingers on her chest, her raised face was pleading, and her watery blue eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"-Please!"

How lovable and lovable, I simply can’t refuse!

Xiao Lin only felt an arrow in his heart, and then waved his hand: "Okay! Let's go! No matter it's the Demon King's army cadres or demon lords, if they dare to stand in front of us, we will kill them all! I'm sure to eat pizza today, and so will the goddess I can’t stop it, I said so!”

"Thank you, brother!"

Alice beamed. But in the gap that Xiao Lin didn't notice, a little devil-like smile appeared on the lips of the beautiful blonde girl.

This is undoubtedly a date!

Sure enough, Miss Liu Zi was right, my brother couldn't refuse in this way.

————

Arrive at the royal capital.

Xiao Lin followed Alice. In fact, he also wanted to train Alice.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess does not need to live a civilian life, she must know how civilians live. Only by understanding, feeling, integrating, and caring for the common people can she become a qualified royal family in the future. Therefore, unless something unexpected happens during this trip, Xiaolin will not interfere with her actions.

Walking on the busy street.

Alice sniffed the air and said: "The smell of pizza is getting stronger and stronger, it seems it should be nearby! Brother, hurry up and follow us!"

There is an endless stream of pedestrians and the sound of hawking is endless.

At this time——

"Come on, come on! Would you like some of the royal capital's famous pizza?"

"Looking for it, found it!"

The pizza shop owner's shouts reached her ears, and a clear smile appeared on Alice's face.

Come to the front of the store.

The pizza shop owner was very enthusiastic when he saw Alice, and greeted her loudly: "Little girl, you came just in time, the pizza has just come out of the oven!"

"Wow, freshly baked pizza... I'm so lucky! I have to thank God!"

"Hahaha! What you said is too exaggerated... Huh?! Love love love, Your Highness Alice?!"

After seeing the customer clearly, the pizza shop owner became visibly panicked. But Alice was very calm and said with a smile: "Haha, although people often say that I look like her, I am not Alice."

She dealt with it deftly.

"It's true, it's impossible for the real Alice to appear in a place like this."

The pizza shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously said words that made Alice sad, but she quickly cheered up.

"Instead of that, give me a pizza."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage! The amount is 300W Eris!"

"I see, the freshly baked ones will be more expensive than usual. Please wait for me..."

Alice rummaged through her purse.

Seeing how serious the blond girl was, the pizza shop owner laughed loudly: "Are you willing to cooperate with my uncle's jokes? You are really an interesting little girl——"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Alice handing over a pile of coins, at least millions!

Alice said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I only have 2 million Eris. Can you please sell me the portion I can afford with the money?"

"Eh?! Why do you have so much money...I, I can't afford it!"

The pizza shop owner's face changed drastically.

Alice said in distress: "That's true. After all, I still need 1 million Eris, but this is all the money I have now..."

"No, I was just joking just now-"

Then, he saw Alice handing over a bracelet.

"Well, can I use this to pay for the insufficient money? Although this bracelet is not brand new, it is made of diamonds, so I think it should be able to pay for some money."

"Huh, huh, huh?! Diamond, diamond bracelet? Little girl, who are you..."

"Is it really not possible? I heard that pizza is very cheap, so I was careless. I should have brought more money earlier."

"No, no! I'd rather say that I welcome you very much... Strange? Could it be that you are really Her Highness Alice-"

The pizza shop owner looked at Xiao Lin.

You see, if you don't understand the common people, it will become like this.

Xiao Lin doesn't think that Alice will be pushed onto the Louis XVI Happy Platform-there will never be such a future with him! But at least, Alice couldn't be like the beheaded queen and say something as stupid as "Since there's no bread, why not eat cake?", which would make people feel disappointed.

So it doesn't matter if she is cheated by the pizza shop owner, or if she loses 2 million Eris plus the diamond bracelet, as long as Alice can understand the truth, it's meaningful.

But——

"Finally found it!!!"

A slightly annoyed voice came from behind.

Two palace guards came behind them, and the woman dressed as a magician took out a 10,000 coin and said, "Boss, we will pay for it, give us three boxes... No need to change."

"Ray, Rein! And Kureya... Why are you here?!"

Seeing the two of them, Alice was obviously a little panicked. She hid behind Xiaolin, obviously intending to use Xiaolin as a shield again.

Rein frowned and said worriedly: "Why are you asking... Of course we are here to look for Her Highness Alice. Why did you sneak out of the palace?"

"Sir Kobayashi, can you explain it to me?"

Kureya put the sword on Kobayashi's neck.

The female knight who has improper thoughts about Her Highness Princess will not allow anyone to have improper thoughts about Her Highness Princess! ...Why is this sentence so awkward?

Alice stood in front of Kobayashi.

"Wait a minute, Kureya! It's me! Because I want to...eat pizza..."

"Pizza? That's what happened, ah, it's all my fault...Listen, Your Highness Alice, next time you want to eat it, please tell me directly. I will go to the city to buy it for you."

"Really? I'm so happy!"

Alice was very happy to hear Rein's assurance. Maybe in her opinion, it was good enough for her to eat pizza when she didn't eat civilian food, but Kobayashi didn't agree.

"--Wait a minute, I have an objection!"
