Chapter 262 – Alice’s Room Is Next Door to Her Childhood Friend

If you pay attention, you can feel that Roman is following you from behind, even though it is a busy street.

– Shhh!

Tero above her head, with her body fully turned, sees Roman, tickling Alice’s forehead with her tail.

Even so, I couldn’t dare to move her head and look behind her.

The neck muscles, which have no room to spare, become stiff like a rock, and the moment you turn it, it snaps! A feeling of being broken.

Alice, who had become her racehorse, looked only ahead of her and walked towards her own quarters.

‘Bar, did you clean the room…?’

We have tried to keep the room as tidy as possible, but just in case.

Maybe she threw something embarrassing on the bed or left her underwear hanging out.

My memory wandered around the past time zone and landed.

That buck that buck

‘Like touching the top of a wine glass… Softly…’

As she moved her steps and reviewed once again what Lily had told me, the lodging was caught in her sight.

Can’t be picked up again.

She began to feel the water she had spilled.

‘Get your mind! Mental-!!’

If you can’t get it back, you just do your best in the situation you face.

…

What is the driving force behind this girl’s boldness in contrast to her small physique?

As for Alice, she is a girl who knows how to let go of hesitation in the first place and move.

If it is for a dream and purpose that is far too ambitious.

To the extent that she left her hometown where she had lived her whole life and settled in a completely new environment.

She starts from scratch in the capital city, and she cannot be unaware of the exhaustion and fatigue that come to her and weigh her down.

More than anything, she knows that fact well, but Alice is bold and bold enough to make decisions and move.

‘…Don’t hesitate.’

A decisive moment when the embers fell on a girl with a decisiveness that goes beyond normal.

While being taught by Lilyne, Alice was strongly stimulated by the sentence, ‘If you feel like it, don’t hesitate.’

If you don’t even try it with ‘hesitation’, it will produce a soggy feeling of ‘regret’ as if it was natural.

She knows that the negative emotions of challenging and failing to achieve are much lighter than hesitation and easily volatilize in front of time.

Kiik-

She opened the door to the dorm and accepted Roman.

“D-Come in!”

“Aren’t you too nervous? Excuse me.”

Roman, who smiled and slightly pinched Alice’s hardened cheek, stepped into the small room.

At the same time, I recalled the past in a short moment.

‘I used to live in a room like this too.’

A friendly feeling and familiarity that reminds you of the old days.

It wasn’t spacious, but it didn’t feel uncomfortable, and it was a neat accommodation.

“It’s a small room, so it might be inconvenient… But if you give me your shoes, I’ll put them in!”

“It’s inconvenient. I lived in a dorm for a long time before.”

He said thank you and handed Alice a pair of heavy boots.

Even if you observe her for a while with her eyes fixed on the nape of her neck, you can catch everything.

From flower pots by the window to books with intricate patterns.

This space where the life and traces of a girl named Alice are located everywhere.

The perception that it was a room of the opposite sex that had never shared a breath was clear, creating a strange sense of excitement and anticipation for the male creature.

“How about a massage?”

“Ah… Massage!! You can lay down on the bed over there, that’s it!”

Have you forgotten your original purpose?

Alice, who had been frozen, was startled and politely pointed at the bed with both hands.

Clap.

“Excuse me…! Awesome!”

Alice, who untied her shoulder armor and cloak and climbed onto her back, felt really light.

Even so, the sheer strength in her grasp was ridiculously powerful compared to her size.

The massage, which was not an ignorant way to press with force, but even felt the system, made me feel like falling asleep if I put my mind to the cool pleasure of relaxing my muscles.

“Hey… You’re doing well.”

“Heh! Thank you! My parents often have neck or shoulder discomfort, so I studied long ago!”

Alice seemed excited by my reaction, as if the tension had disappeared as she was immersed in her actions.

The massage time was not boring.

Alice also began to carry on the conversation smoothly.

– Sit! Sisit!

In front of my eyes, Tero bites the back of her hand with his toothless, soft mouth and repeatedly moves up and down her arms and head.

Although Alice cautioned Tero.

When I said I was fine, Tero got even more excited and started running around.

“I’ve felt it for a long time, but Roman-sama… Does he really like Tero?”

“Aren’t they cute? I like animals. I like things with fur, and I like reptiles without exception.”

“Okay···.”

“With a few exceptions, I like animals more than people.”

“Ugh, whoa…!!”

A heavy breath steeped in determination. The hand that was pressing on the back stopped.

Roman, who was kneeling down to accept the prank of the spirit, at the same time Tero disappeared in front of her eyes.

Pudeudeuk-Tteudeuk!

She turned her head at the strange sound coming from Alice.

“…That, would you like me to be like this?”

Sharpened pupils and molars. Scales sprouting on one arm and cheek.

And in the horns, which were the opposite of the small body, there was a mystery that called for a touch.

As I turned to the idea that now, in some way, she had to set her relationship with Alice and her direction to go her way, Alice naturally also moved out of the way on top of me.

Feeling the need to talk, we naturally sat facing each other on the bed.

“”···.””

A lot of thoughts pass between the moments of silence.

From my point of view, where I don’t have a back-and-forth, the method was eventually decided.

“Alice.”

“Yes, yes!”

“I’ve heard that my tendency to ask difficult questions is mischievous… I think it’s important to make it clear with words about things like invisible emotions, don’t you?”

Specifically, Eclair was like that.

The occasion and situation were different, but it was a perfect word to write now.

Alice, who prefers direct words rather than round words, also expressed her affirmation.

“I’m sure I like it too!”

“···Hmm.”

Even with permission, this question always makes me hesitate.

Hatchet or narcissism? The truth or something else altogether.

Still, if you ask, you’ll get a cool answer.

“Alice.”

“Yes!”

“Do you like me? Or are you simply asking to reciprocate?”

“…”

Alice’s mouth was shut tight at the question that was unexpected yet somehow not unexpected.

I thought I needed to explain a little more, so I started talking to myself while waiting for an answer.

“In the past, when an opportunity like this came, I didn’t turn it down and had a relationship.”

“Ah···.”

Alice recalled Lily’s advice that men would understand even if they expressed it indirectly.

As expected, she felt her face heat up at Roman’s attitude, who understood her inner meaning.

“But now… I’m trying to show myself as a trustworthy and trustworthy head of household, even if it’s late.”

“…”

“I made up my mind to at least stop having irresponsible relationships. Leaving my women alone to relieve my sexual desire with other women.

Alice blinked at the sentence from Roman’s mouth that was not like a platinum adventurer, not like a person in power, and distant from the men she had seen in her entire life.

He bit his trembling lips once to calm them down and continued the conversation.

“Then what does it mean to have a relationship…?”

“I have to take responsibility. So I cover the opponent with the subject.”

“!!!”

“The answer is that I came here from the position of Gary. I never came here with a light heart.”

At the same time, she wasn’t convinced that she liked her.

The thump-thump of my heart rang in my head.

What should I say next? Roman calmly waited for Alice, who was not in a hurry, to give an answer.

The girl who found stability by sweeping her arms that had sprouted hard scales.

She raised her apple-red face and looked at Roman.

“I… I’m a wizard, but I have a very good intuition that can’t be proven, so I’m the type to trust this very much.”

“Has there been a creditable experience? Yongin’s intuition is amazing.”

Alice smiled brightly when Roman immediately responded to the question she brought up out of the blue.

“I called Roman-sama today based on this feeling… I think I did a really good job.”

“I’m glad you feel that way.”

When Roman laughed coolly, Alice carefully moved her hand and took Roman’s hand.

“I don’t really know the feeling of loving the opposite sex because I don’t have any experience with it. But… Even when I think about other men, being this close to me is physiologically disgusting, so I don’t like it.”

“I am?”

“Roman-sama… It’s okay. So after thinking about it, I made up my mind…”

Permission fell in a small voice you wouldn’t hear if you weren’t paying attention.

After Alice’s affirmation, let Roman pull his hand.

The small body of the girl was hugged into Roman’s chest.

“How is it? Do you hate being hugged?”

Roman’s gentle voice and masculine beauty felt through his whole body.

Her heart felt like it was about to explode, and her eyes went round and round, and her voice went up.

“Poetry, I don’t hate it!”

Let’s slowly stroke Alice’s blond hair, which is holding her hot cheek against her chest.

Following her instinct, the girl lifted her head and looked into Roman’s eyes.

Roman lightly bit Alice’s lower lip and licked it.

“…Sigh!”

Alice trembled at the strange sensation she had never felt before.

“Cute.”

Alice felt consideration for Roman’s slow and slow skinship.

Her mouth, which had been closed by her tension, opened slightly and accepted Roman’s tongue.

*****

Kiik-

Today’s order is over.

Throwing the gold grade adventurer’s card on the table, Roman unleashed his sword.

Even a bronze or silver rank request was enough to make a living.

A life devoted to making a living while ignoring the letters that keep flying in from Edelman.

Time passes like an arrow.

‘I have to solve it with Alice.’

This time, Alice’s pouting had been going on for quite some time.

In the past, I used to give bruises and come back when my head cools off, saying I’m sorry for being angry.

‘Did he come while I was away because time was tangled?’

Either way, Roman’s head wasn’t completely organized.

He doesn’t have the confidence to go to Edelman and face his parents and Alice’s parents.

End reconciliation with Alice.

Shouldn’t we go back when everyone stops preparing to speak bitterly and starts worrying?

“Ha!”

Clearing his head with such thoughts, Roman threw his tired body and lay down on the bed.

“Huh?”

Roman, who was about to close his eyes, opened his eyes at the slight sound that touched his ears.

‘Uh? Is Alice there?’

It’s a room right next to Alice, and the bed is against the wall.

If you put his head upside down, you can sometimes hear Alice living.

-Roman… Me…

And after a really long time.

I heard a small noise and pressed my ears against the wall.
