Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"Well, if that's the case, it's such a coincidence. It seems the world is really small." Xu Zhen said this with a wry smile, then closed his mouth, as if he had nothing else to say.

Both Letty and Courtney were puzzled by this overly simplistic answer.

"Is that it? Don't you have any ideas..."

“Because I don’t have any memory of my childhood.”

"But if you really met Alicia, don't you think there is something curious..."

“…No? On the contrary, I don’t know what I should be worried about.”

Facing the questions from Lati and Courtney, Xu Zhen answered calmly. His natural behavior made people around him think that he was serious.

Although a little disappointed, Lati and Courtney both felt that this was very much like Xu Zhen. Especially Alicia, her originally nervous mood was completely relaxed, and she even felt her body relaxed.

At this moment, Alicia seemed to suddenly understand something.

(…Xu Zhen and that boy may be the same person, or they may be two completely different people.)

This was probably something she should have understood long ago. If he had no memory of what happened ten years ago, then talking about the past would be impossible.

When she was sent to another world by an incident, the boy she knew disappeared and a new existence "Xu Zhen" was created. Alicia thought so.

(Maybe I’ve always been too obsessed with the past…)

She was finally able to accept this. At the same time, Alicia also made up her mind to cut off ties with her memories. The past is the past after all, and the important thing is to look at the present.

Alicia accidentally saw Xu Zhen chatting happily with Courtney and the others. The way he took care of the monsters and smiled innocently made her feel very relieved. Even without the memories, she found that she still liked Xu Zhen.

Although she hasn't yet decided whether this is friendship or missed love.

"…Alicia, what's wrong?"

"Well—nothing."

Being stared at by Xu Zhen, Alicia just smiled foolishly. Xu Zhen and the monsters didn't understand what this meant, so they could only tilt their heads in confusion.

As for Courtney, she seemed to notice something and smiled slightly. The only one who noticed this was Loper, who was chewing salad leaves and looking up blankly, obviously without any questions.

Afterwards, the cold dessert was served and everyone enjoyed it together. It was a cold dessert made by mixing Sprite and frozen fruit, which seemed to be made by ice magic. Lati had a severe headache because of her greed for dessert.

"Wow... this attack is too powerful..."

"Calm down a bit... oh, that's right..."

Xu Zhen suddenly remembered something and said, "On the way here, I met a strange guy."

“Strange guy?”

"Yeah. He said something about letting Lati and Lopur go over there, and when I refused he suddenly got angry."

Thinking back to the situation at that time, Xu Zhen felt that the adjective "strange guy" was the most appropriate. Alicia and Courtney looked stiff, and Lati also recalled the situation at that time.

"Oh, yes, I remember. I tried to talk some nonsense, and he took it so easily that it really helped."

“Really, thanks to Letty. Great job.”

“Hehe~”

Xu Zhen stroked Lati's head, and Lati seemed very happy with a shy smile on her face. At this time, Courtney spoke cautiously: "Well, could it be the nobleman Erwin McRedd..."

"I think that's the name. Do you know him?"

Facing Xu Zhen's casual question, Courtney sighed deeply: "It's not just knowing him, he's quite famous in this capital. A typical aristocratic prodigal. I've been entangled by him before. He's been compared to my parents."

“…It’s really hard.”

"But he seemed to get bored quickly, and nothing happened after that. We met by chance today, but he didn't remember me at all." Courtney smiled bitterly. Xu Zhen didn't know how to respond.

This can be said to be a relief, or it can be said that it feels bad to be forgotten. Judging from the situation, it is obviously the former, but emotionally, I inevitably feel the latter as well.

Alicia seemed to be thinking the same thing, and she gave a wry smile that was almost perfunctory.

"Maybe we should be more careful. That young master can be very difficult to deal with if he gets persistent. He was often like this when he was with Russell and the others, always saying things like 'It's impossible for you commoners to get promoted.'"

"I feel like I can imagine that scene..." Xu Zhen's words made the monsters and Courtney nod involuntarily.

It seemed that this was not the end yet. If he was determined not to give up his prey, he would continue to keep an eye on Lati and Lopul in the future, Xu Zhen thought.

Lati and the others also have the will not to be easily captured, but since they don't know how the other party will attack, they can't be too optimistic. Xu Zhen sighed again, feeling that trouble is coming again.

"Anyway, like Alicia said, we have to be careful too."

“Hey, maybe being careful isn’t enough?”

An unfamiliar voice suddenly came from above. Xu Zhen and the others looked up and saw a young man standing there wearing a delicate red hat.

Although he was dressed in adventurer's attire, he gave off an unusual sense of elegance. Xu Zhenzhen thought that he might be a noble, but Alicia and Courtney were shocked and speechless.

Just as Xu Zhen was about to ask, the young man smiled, put his hand on his chest, and bowed gently: "Sorry to bother you so suddenly. I am the second prince of the Kingdom of Sforia, my name is Seide."

The moment this young man, Said, introduced himself, the restaurant fell silent.

Sede Rowell Rei Sforia. Like Xu Zhen, he was fourteen years old and was the second prince of the Kingdom of Sforia.

He is very good in intelligence and physical fitness, but for some reason he has no talent for magic, so he is often looked down upon by those around him when he was young. The royal family has magical talents from generation to generation, but Seid was born to betray the expectations of those around him.

In order to maintain the image of a "magic power", people born in the royal family are given special attention for their magical qualities. It is inevitable that Seide is looked down upon by those around him.

However, although few, he does have real friends. In addition, he is also a person who works harder than the average person and does not give up easily.

For him, this was both luck and salvation.

In between studying swordsmanship and learning, he would go to the town to interact with the people. In particular, he was often seen playing with children in the facilities. Gradually, he won the widespread love of the people, and this reputation even extended to the royal palace.
