Roya Acate can be said to be an old eater. As a foodie, he travels around the world and has tasted a lot of delicious food. Among them, he cares most about the ingredients. Good ingredients can double the deliciousness. Unexpectedly, I have a day of being used as a food ingredient.
Looking at the lady angel who was looking at her with scorching eyes on the other side of the fire, Roja's mouth shook while biting the dried meat. For a while, she felt like being hunted, but she looked down at the golden chain in front of him, and thought he might be. Domesticated.
"That, Noelle, how does it taste?"
"Well, it's okay. I have eaten a lot of munitions that are more unpalatable than this. This is at least hot."
Looking at the soup that was slightly seasoned with salt and added the special dried monster meat of alien species and many wild vegetables in front of her, the blond girl blinked unexpectedly, and couldn't help but praise her.
"It's a pretty good job, which really surprised me."
"In any case, I am also a member of a military family. I still have some survival skills in the wild, so I didn't do it for you before."
"Hmm, is that so... By the way, who have you ever made food for yourself in the past?"
"Hey? This, this..."
Isn't this a proposition
Hearing Noelle's question, the black-haired boy wandered for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he became confident again.
"The only thing I made has been eaten by you."
"Huh? Really?"
"Of course, after all, apart from historical fragments, there are only two encounters with you in this plain where you need to cook your own food."
"...That's it, but twice? We really have a relationship with this land."
Turning his head and looking at the starry sky outside the house, the blonde girl was suddenly recalled by Roja's words.
In this land two years ago, the girl who could not control her bloodline was about to be swallowed by the King of Angels, but was rescued by a young man alone. At that time, the two of them probably would never have thought that one day they would come to the same place. Revisit.
"But this time, the situation is upside down. I didn't expect that the savior became you, and my condition is far worse than in the past."
Thinking back to the past, the black-haired boy smiled bitterly while igniting the bonfire, while Noelle fell into silence and said in a low voice after a while:
"It's also rescue, but I can't accompany you to the end. It's my fault, I'm sorry."
"Huh? What are you talking about? That's the reason for the skill, right or wrong."
Reluctantly shook his head, looking at the depressed girl, Roja regretted mentioning the past for a while, but before the teenager changed the subject, Noelle raised an unexpected question.
"By the way, there is actually one thing I have always wanted to ask you..."
"Huh? What is it?"
"At that time, there was a ghostly [Hidden Mist] in the Tucker Plain, and there was a threat of aliens. Aren't you afraid when you came to me?"
"...Are you not afraid? You can't say that either."
After blinking and lowering his head to fiddle with the flame, the black-haired boy recalled his thoughts at the time, and said faintly:
"In fact, I was scared. After all, I was only Gen 4 at that time, and my strength was not that strong, but... it should be impulsive to make me so decisive."
"Is it impulsive? That means you will give up if you calm down?"
"No, although it's impulsive, it's not a moment of anger... It should be said that it is an emotional impulse."
"what do you mean... ... "
"...Because I like you."
"!"
The young man whose face was covered by the flames mumbled and said, feeling a little hot in his brain for a while, but Luo Ya, with his head down, did not notice. At this time, Miss Angel's cheeks were much redder than the young man.
"Yes, for this reason, it's too reckless. No matter how you say it, you have to plan, and then gather the team..."
"There is no time. You may not understand how I felt at that time. When I thought that you might disappear, I didn't want to make any plans at all. To be honest, leaving orders and asking for help from all parties was the limit."
After the confession, Luo Ya gradually opened his heart and explained all the feelings at the time. The blond girl listened silently, and the expression on her face gradually softened.
"Fool, it's too risky, but there is one thing you said wrong. I can understand this feeling. I can do it now."
"... Indeed, sorry, I worried you."
Thinking of her own situation now, Luo Ya's face calmed down, and she apologized with a slight guilt, and the princess shook her head in response.
"No, it's nothing. Rather than apologize now, I want to hear you apologize when I actually meet."
"Haha, apologize?"
"Yes, abandoning your monarch for a year, you rebellious minister, I won't forgive you easily."
The princess who said this tightened the chain at hand again, but the expression on her face was not as strong as before, but with more tenderness. Seeing this, the black-haired boy smiled.
"Abandoning something is too exaggerated, I don't have the guts."
"Not only makes me worry, but also makes me unable to find a trace, saying that abandoning is already a relegation, it should be regarded as defecting."
"Defection? It's even more exaggerated, but... If you can really stand out from the siege, it would be okay to apologize."
"..."
Hearing Loya's hopeful sigh, the blond girl fell silent for a while, carefully recalling the plan of the two before.
Noelle’s protection does not last long. This is something that the two have known for a long time. Therefore, how to use the time when the girl is able to move has become the top priority. After some detailed thinking, the two Man decided to take the risk of smuggling.
In this land controlled by aliens, it can be said that every moment is full of dangers. It is good to recover before being discovered and kill back to the human world, but Roja does not dare to bet, especially among the enemies. Existence far beyond imagination.
The king of aliens, this existence puts Roja under tremendous pressure. The moment of the fight made the young man understand the unfathomableness of the opponent, and also made him feel jealous. This smuggling plan can be said to be under the shadow of this monster. The product, and another reason is that the territories of humans and aliens are not distinct.
The level of management by aliens is far from reaching the level of establishing ethnic boundaries. Therefore, many areas are not dispatched by both sides, especially some no-man’s areas where natural conditions are bad and are not valued. It can be said that the road is smooth. .
"Harvey Desert, remember this name."
"Well, the hell full of quicksand is a place where military maps specifically indicate that the army cannot move. On the side of aliens, it seems to be the place where prisoners are exiled, so the number of enemies is pitiful and nobody cares."
After hearing Loya’s words, the blonde girl nodded slightly. In theory, this desert that penetrates the Tucker Plain from the front line is the best place for covert operations and the best route the two have found, but I don’t know why. Noelle felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"What's the matter? The expression is so serious."
"Nothing, just a little worried..."
"Well, I understand, but this is by far the safest route."
Looking at the worried girl, Roja couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand and patted the dagger around his waist, and said confidently:
"This guy is on me, you can roughly perceive where I am? After all, this is how I found you in the past."
"It's true, but it's too far from the front line. Both of us act together. It may take a few days to converge."
"Yes, but the danger of stopping is greater, right?"
"..."
Thinking of the many aliens who had been hunted down before, Miss Angel lost her words for a while, and Luo Ya also fell silent. After a while, the blonde girl shook her head and stood up and walked towards the boy.
"Forget it, don't think about it. The last night I was there, I don't want to waste time because of these."
"It's true... But, Noelle, what do you want to do?"
Looking at the girl who stood up and combed her hair behind her, Roja fiddled with the fire to agree, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and seeing the young boy who was completely unconscious of being a meal, Miss Angel couldn't help showing her face. With a smile, she stretched out her hand to touch Loya's cheek, and said happily:
"What do you do? Of course it is to eat up the dessert."
"Hey? Wait, Noelle? Hmm..."
The moment he heard the answer from Her Royal Highness, the golden chain entangled the boy's body. Roja, who was under control, could not move. Then Noelle leaned over and kissed his lips, and pushed him down. .
"You are not allowed to resist, you rebellious minister, you have to accept punishment, right?"
"No, so it’s a bit...and you didn’t agree with it before?"
Looking at the princess whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, Roja's face showed a helpless expression, Noelle acted for a while, but he tightened the chain again after a while.
"Before I was worried about getting pregnant, but this time is different. Now I am a projection."
"But the damage will be transferred to the body when the skill ends, right? The first time also..."
"..."
At the young man’s reminder, Noelle fell into a short silence. I have to say that it was not very good to use it in the form of projection for the first time, but after thinking about it for a while, the blue eye pupils of Her Royal Highness did not. Shaken, but instead took on some sad colors and became more and more determined.
"... In the year you disappeared, I have regretted my rejection countless times. I don't want this kind of regret anymore."
"Noelle..."
Staring at the girl's gleaming eye pupils, Luo Ya couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and a guilt suddenly rushed into his heart. After thinking for a while, the boy took the initiative to open his hand and hugged the lover in front of him.
"...I see, Noelle."
"Um."
After a soft answer, in the dimly lit room, the figures of the two gradually overlapped under the reflection of the bonfire, and finally became one body.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
In the early morning, the sky shone by the rising sun that had not yet risen, and the black-haired boy slowly opened his eyes in the outpost of the alien on the plain.
After the earthy stove was extinguished, the room was dim, and Roja's consciousness was also a little unclear. He looked at the roof of the room with many holes, and finally remembered everything last night, and then felt a little weak in his body, but not yet. When the boy got up, the familiar voice of the princess heard in his ears.
"Huh? Did you wake up so soon? Did I bother you?"
"No, no."
With a hoarse voice, the black-haired boy looked to his side and found that the princess who was sharing the bed had woke up for some time and was staring at his face and blinking.
"I thought you would sleep for a long time, but it seems you still have more energy?"
"...No, this one is really gone."
Not a drop left.
Looking at the azure pupils lit up again, there were some Miss Angels who were ready to move, Luo Ya recalled the situation of the battle last night and hurriedly denied the situation, looking at the girl with a little dread.
Before the two fell in love and decided to unite last night, Roja was worried that His Royal Highness could not withstand his attack. After all, Roja had always won the victory in the few past experiences. However, what he didn't expect was that he and Noelle The situation is a little different, and the reason is the blood of the angels.
As one of the overlords in the ancient times, compared with the blood of the king or the highland elves, the blood of the angels has a greater strengthening of the body of the holder, especially the gold-level angels of Noel King] Bloodline, strengthening is simply abnormal.
Such blood and Noelle’s XP caused Roya, who was in chains at the beginning, to have a feeling of being forced, and the princess became more excited, but fortunately Roya was also promoted to the golden bloodline, and he still has a [ Indestructible Body] Blessing, and this withstood the attack.
After the first half ended with a shiver of the girl's body and collapsed, Roja, who broke free from the shackles, finally launched a counterattack and finally succeeded in defeating Noelle, fighting back with blood, and defending his dignity as a male.
But what I have to say is that now that everything is over, there is one thing that makes Roya cares, that is... last night seemed to be Miss Angel's first night.
"..."
Looking at the smiling girl with her cheeks on her side, Roja twitched her cheeks for a while. He could only find psychological comfort for the time being because he did not have Petra's care this time. On the other hand, Noelle was on the other side. Appreciate it.
"Hmph, I thought you would be unable to hold it last night, but I didn't expect it to be quite capable."
"Don't underestimate people, but... My resilience is temporarily not comparable to you."
Roja, who was saying this, laughed bitterly, then sat up and looked out the window, while the blonde girl rarely showed strength, but leaned on the shoulder of the boy.
"How much time is left?"
"... Probably at sunrise."
"That's it."
Feeling the warmth of the lover around him, the black-haired teenager felt intense reluctance for a while. He was silent for a moment and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
As time passed by, the light on the horizon became brighter and brighter, thinking that the warmth around him would disappear soon, Luo Ya couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and there was also a little fear in his heart.
After Noelle leaves, there will be only Roya in this land, and he will survive in the siege of aliens. His journey will not only be hard and dangerous, but also lonely. However, before Roya can say anything, the boy suddenly felt his shoulders. The drips are wet.
"Huh? Noelle?"
"... ... nothing."
Roja, who turned her head and found that the girl did not know when she shed tears, was shocked, while the princess on the other side hurriedly turned her head, and then wiped the tears on her face and her shoulders trembled slightly. Seeing this scene, black The young man who made the hair could not help but was taken aback, and suddenly understood something.
Roja was in fear, but in fact he was not the only one who was scared, as strong as Noelle was also in fear, fearing that this separation would be a farewell, fearing that the hellish life of the year would repeat itself again.
The real-time machine was not suitable for the combination last night, but now that I think about it, whether it is Roja or Noelle, they can't stand the anxiety in their hearts, so they seek comfort from each other.
"Originally, I wanted to cheer you up when I said goodbye... I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay."
Answering Noelle's words softly, the black-haired boy opened his arms and hugged the girl from behind, with a smile on his face naturally.
"It's what I should apologize for, what happened this year, what worries you up to now, I'm sorry."
In the voice of the teenager, Noelle couldn't help sobbing again. The two remained silent for a while, and the morning sun finally began to rise. At about the same time, the girl in Luoya's arms began to emit light, and Spilled in all directions.
"...It's time."
"Um."
Feeling the increasingly thinner curse power fluctuations in his arms, Roja's hands could not help tightening slightly, as if subconsciously wanting to pull the girl back, while on the other side, Noelle turned around and tightened at the last time. The chain in the hand.
"Promise me, absolutely, absolutely to come back..."
"Well, I will."
With a smile but a very serious reply, Noelle’s expression calmed down a bit. After a while, the girl’s body slowly dissipated, turning into golden spots of light and gathering towards the sacred objects. In the room under the rising sun, nothing was left since then. Loya is alone.
"..."
After sitting silently on the bed for a long time, the black-haired teenager stood up and tidied up his clothes, took all the necessities, and started a journey toward a certain direction, fulfilling his promise to the girl with actions.
On the vast ground, Roja's figure drifted away, but what the young man didn't know was that in the dark depths in the distance, a pair of eyes had broken through the obstacles of space and stared firmly on him.
