Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

He had always only considered traveling with monsters, and never cared about the opinions of the people around him. No matter what others said, he wanted to move forward at his own pace. He thought he could do so, but when these words were put in front of him, his heart could not calm down.

But Xu Zhen couldn't refute anything. Although he felt unwilling, he knew that what the other party said might be right.

"Hmm... maybe it's just coincidences."

“That’s also part of strength. There are many adventurers who are not so lucky, and there are those who miss the opportunities that come to them.” The man seemed to speak with a distant look.

I don't know if he is recalling his own experience or thinking about other people's affairs. Although he thought about it for a while, Xu Zhen couldn't judge and was not particularly interested.

"Is this fate? To be honest, I don't really understand..."

"Maybe. Well, sooner or later you'll really feel it." The man laughed and called the dragon that was playing with him to sit on his shoulder again.

"Then I'll take my leave. I hope to see you somewhere again."

The man left the scene without waiting for Xu Zhen and the others' response. The surrounding adventurers and merchants also began to move around, and the scene returned to its former busyness.

Xu Zhen stood there blankly for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right... I didn't even ask his name."

"Ah, I totally forgot that, too. I didn't even ask the dragon's name."

"That person has gone far away... If you see him next time, ask him again."

"That would be best. We should probably go back to Alicia and the others."

After Lati said this, Xu Zhen nodded in agreement, and they walked towards where Alicia and Brigitte were. It seemed that the two were chatting enthusiastically, but the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

Alicia blushed deeply and looked very flustered, while Bridget put on a playful smile and leaned closer to Alicia's face.

"Oh, it seems like they are having a good chat."

“They are childhood sweethearts.”

Bridget waved goodbye to Alicia, as if the topic was over, so Xu Zhen and the others walked towards Alicia.

"Hey, Alicia!" Xu Zhen shouted nonchalantly, and Alicia was startled.

----------------

Time went back a little bit to a moment ago.

Alicia and Bridget sat together, holding their drinks and trying to chat.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Alicia. I'm glad to see you looking so energetic."

"Me too. You're still the same, Bridget."

Alicia was very happy and shook hands with Brigitte. She had the same reaction, but suddenly her eyes became cunning. Brigitte's expression startled Alicia.

But Bridget didn't care and spoke out her doubts directly.

"We are old friends that we just met again, so let me ask you directly. Who was that young man with the monster just now? He should have been with Russell and other companions all the time, but where are they... Could it be that they have disbanded because of a disagreement?" Bridget leaned forward and asked this question with a strange confidence.

It was rare for a human to be so close to a monster, and she had just witnessed their intimacy. As a magician friend who was familiar with her, she couldn't help but be surprised, and even spit out the tea she was drinking in excitement.

She was even more surprised to find that there was no sign of Russell or Oliver, not even Jill, a fact that heightened Bridget's surprise to a new level, and now her surprise had turned into determined interest.

She turned her eyes excitedly to see if Alicia was also blushing. However, what Bridget saw was Alicia's helpless expression and sigh.

"No, we didn't disband... but there are some things." Alicia looked away with some difficulty, and Brigitte sighed softly: "If you can, tell me. Aren't we friends?"

"Ah, thank you. Would you like to listen?"

Alicia told her as much as she could about what happened in the capital of Santono. After listening, Brigitte sighed deeply.

"Ah, I see. I know that princess well. Last year when I went to the capital of Santono, she came to talk to me. As we were talking, she suddenly approached me with tears in her eyes and shouted 'Sister!'"

Listening to Brigitte's bland narration, Alicia was shocked: "...I didn't expect that you were also a victim, Brigitte."

"Although, I fought back immediately and reported it to the kings without hesitation, so I returned without any punishment."

Apparently, there were only Douglas and a few soldiers at the scene, and the incident did not develop into a major riot. Alicia thought enviously, what a lucky child.

"I ran away in fear... I didn't stand up to it like Bridget did."

"Hey, people are usually like that. Don't blame yourself too much." Bridget smiled bitterly and comforted the disappointed Alicia.

Thinking about the extraordinary richness of her experience in the past few months, Bridget continued: "So you have been with that boy for the past few months?"

“Well, there have been some difficulties, but overall it’s been pretty fun.”

A shy smile appeared on Alicia's face. Bridget sensed something, but she was not sure and decided to wait and see for the time being.

"It seems that getting along with wild monsters is really very different."

"Yes, but Xu Zhen is still a novice as an adventurer. I have a lot to teach him. After all, I am two years older than him, so I think I should act more mature."

Alicia spoke with a calm and affectionate tone, and Brigitte opened her eyes wide. It was as if the gears that had been idling before finally meshed together and began to run smoothly.

"I see, that's how it is." Brigitte suddenly smiled, and Alicia tilted her head. Brigitte noticed and waved her hand shyly with a smile.

"No, actually, after seeing Alicia for the first time in a long time, I felt that you have become stronger and more independent. This mystery has also been solved. Because of working with that boy named Xu Zhen, you have changed a lot."

This time it was Alicia's turn to be surprised. She had not expected to hear such an evaluation. She had no real experience of it herself, and because she was often with her team members, she could not make any comparisons.

Alicia was confused when she received this comment: "Have I changed..."
