Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

"Hey - Miss, didn't you want to walk by yourself and see the scenery along the way instead of riding in a carriage? How did you get in a carriage? Hahaha!"

Dong Yu looked at Alice, who was sitting opposite him with a blushing face, with a half-smile.

"Humph, I was trying to protect my teammates! I'm a heavily armored knight! For my teammates, I can only sacrifice myself! Is that not okay?"

"Alright, alright, haha, my lord heavy-armored knight, hahahaha!"

"Hmph, I order you! Stop laughing!!!"

Alice swung her fist at Dong Yu, but for a heavy-armored knight who was not good at speed, facing an assassin who was proficient in speed, there was only one result, that is, he had no place to use his strength.

No matter how Alice attacked, Dong Yu could always dodge easily, which made Alice very annoyed.

"Can't you just be a man and stop hiding!"

"..., do you think I'm stupid? I'll let you hit me even if I don't dodge?"

"Ah! Just wait! I will beat you up!"

“Hahahaha, I can’t hit you, you can’t hit me!”

……

After a long time, the carriage became quiet again, and the coachman showed a meaningful smile.

Alice, who was overworked in the carriage, hugged Dong Yu's waist with her arms, rested her head on Dong Yu's thighs and fell asleep, talking in her sleep from time to time.

"Hmph, don't run, stop right there! You damn Xiaoyu!"

"Haha, you won't let me go even in your dreams? This Alice, hey... she looks so much like my older sister!"

Looking at Alice's cute sleeping face, Dong Yu couldn't help but touch her head and help her straighten her messy hair.

"Hehehehe! One hundred silver coins! My cute skirt, here I come! Hahaha!"

Looking at Alice who was drooling in her sleep, I smiled helplessly.

"Oh... never mind. Sorry about my cute skirt."

Just when Dong Yu was wondering, Alice said something that touched Dong Yu.

"Xiaoyu's birthday will be coming up in a while, buy it for him first!"

Dong Yu's heart couldn't help but be moved, this girl... He lowered his head and kissed Alice gently on the face. At this time, a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of Alice's mouth, as if she had a beautiful dream.

"Alice, I will protect you and won't let you get hurt."

……

The carriage bumped along for who knows how long before it stopped. Dong Yu woke up from his dream and saw Alice still sleeping. He couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Boss, we are now in Kobe Town, which is still six hours away from Ailin Village. But it will be late at night when we arrive. Should we rest here for a night or continue on our journey?"

The voice of the coachman Ryan came from outside the carriage.

"Then rest here for the night! Alice, get up and get out of the car."

Dong Yu shook Alice gently. Alice rubbed her confused eyes and was stunned when she saw Dong Yu's condescending smile. The carriage was silent for a while.

"what!!!"

bang——

Alice threw a hook punch at Dong Yu, who was hit directly before he could react. Alice immediately shrank into the corner.

"What are you going to do to me!!!"

Dong Yu touched his face with a wronged look on his face.

"You're the first to complain. You used my thigh as a pillow and drooled all over my pants. My feet are still numb now, but you punched me as soon as you woke up."

Alice then remembered and looked at Dong Yu with embarrassment.

"Um... that... I'm sorry... are you okay... who told you to look at me with such a lewd smile, humph! You deserve it! Humph!"

Looking at her unpredictable emotions, Dong Yu could only smile helplessly.

"Blame me, Miss, let's get off the car!"

"Humph!"

Although Alice said this, she still felt guilty in her heart. The two got off the car one after another. A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a whip stood outside the door. He was the coachman Ryan.

"Boss, you were just..."

Ryan was halfway through his words when he looked at Dong Yu's pants with a weird smile. Dong Yu followed his gaze and looked at his pants. His pants on his thighs were soaked. He immediately realized that Ryan had misunderstood and hurried to explain.

"Uh... Uncle is not what you think..."

Ryan waved his hand and smiled ambiguously.

"It's okay. I didn't see anything."

After saying this, he drove the carriage aside, muttering to himself.

“Young people today are so energetic!”

This made Alice and Dong Yu blush immediately. Dong Yu looked around and saw that the whole town was in Japanese style.

They stopped in front of an inn, and Dong Yu took Alice into the inn. As soon as they entered the inn, a woman in a kimono came to greet them.

"Welcome to Kobe Hotel. May I ask whether you two would like to stay at the hotel, have a meal, or…?"

"Hello, then give us two rooms!"

"Yes, sir, please follow me and register for accommodation here."

The woman in kimono led them to the counter and Alice picked up the form and took a look.

"What! For one silver coin, isn't that a hundred coppers?"

"Yes, sir, this is the price we charge here."

"Xiaoyu, how much do you want for Winter Fantasy?"

"Where we are? It's the same."

Dong Yu shrugged, looking completely normal.

"Hey...what? You guys who run the hotel are really shady! Ah...I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about him, about him!"

Looking at the smiling woman beside her, Alice immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained.

"When men are talking, women should not interrupt! Ah, boss lady, this is my wife I just brought back from the countryside. She has never seen the world, so please don't mind her."

The proprietress just smiled and said nothing. Although Alice knew that she was taken advantage of, she also knew that Dong Yu was helping her out, so she hid behind Dong Yu with a blushing face.

"Oh, I forgot. Now she is my wife. I just want a double room."

Dong Yu filled out the form and handed the boss two silver coins.

"Madam, this is the accommodation fee. The rest is our apology to you."

The woman's eyes lit up as she took the silver coins and took them to the room with a smile. This time her smile was obviously much more sincere.

Coming into the room, Dong Yu looked at Alice helplessly.

"Hey...Alice, you can be more casual when talking to me, but when talking to others, you have to pay attention to the occasion and the person. Don't be too casual, really! I have something to do, you should rest first."

After saying that, Dong Yu walked out of the room, leaving Alice with red eyes.
