As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Gray had told him that if he gave the poster a small tip, she would be more considerate of him. For example, before the mission information was made public, she could privately inform him first, so that he could seize the initiative.

The little girl's eyes widened.

gold!

This is equivalent to her entire year's salary!

This tip is beyond lavish!

As expected of an A-rank adventurer!

Looking at the golden coins, the poster girl didn't dare to ask for them right away. Instead, she said apologetically, "Sir, information about the vampires isn't easy to come by. We might not get any accurate information for years."

But Roy said grimly: "No, it will be soon."

After saying that, Roy turned and left.

The little girl didn't understand why the other party was so sure, but out of professional ethics and respect for gold coins, she kept this matter firmly in mind.

That night, in the underground tavern of the thieves' group.

The thieves, who had been busy all day, hugged the scantily clad women, toasted to their cups and celebrated their achievements of the day.

At the bar behind these petty thieves, a tall, thin man with a hooked nose was not immersed in the debauched revelry. Instead, he was playing with a black dagger with a strange crescent shape.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the man's eyes turned cold and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"I didn't expect that besides us, there are others looking for that thing."

He glanced at the green-robed woman on the other side of the bar, and his voice sank.

"This is not what we agreed on. Cultists."

Chapter 54: Nia is not playing around

When Roy came back, it was already late at night.

There were few people in the academy, only the street lights were illuminating the boy's way home.

The temperature at night is still a bit cool this season.

I've been running all afternoon, it would be a lie to say I'm not hungry.

I remember Alice said we'd have beef stew with potatoes tonight.

Thinking of the delicious dinner prepared by Alice, Roy swallowed secretly.

Cold and hungry, Roy unconsciously quickened his pace.

Since he had informed the teacher in advance, the patrolling teacher did not make things difficult for him.

Not long after, he returned to the self-built area.

The familiar grass and flowers came into view, but to his surprise, the cabin in the distance did not become silent. Instead, it still emitted a soft orange glow, outlining a warm harbor.

It’s already this late, isn’t Alice asleep yet?

That kid, could it be that he hasn’t eaten yet just because he’s waiting for me?

Thinking of this, Roy finally couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly ran back to the front of the house and pushed the door open.

The moment he entered the house, he walked with light steps.

Just because I really couldn't bear to disturb that warm scene.

The little maid, still wearing an apron, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and rested her head on Nia's shoulder like a furry, soft puppy, falling asleep quietly and peacefully.

The cute sleep breath as soft as a mosquito's hum slowly drifted over. Without thinking, one could guess how soundly the little maid was sleeping.

Nia's sleeping position is completely different.

The girl hugged the golden-haired little cotton ball tightly in her arms, nodding her head with a silly smile on her face, and a strand of silver hair flowed from the corner of her mouth, which made people laugh.

Under the light of the fire, the scene of two beautiful girls with very different styles sleeping face to face with each other is as beautiful as a poem or painting.

Unfortunately, Roy had to wake them up.

Roy stepped forward, not wanting to be rude to the sleeping girl, and instead tapped the table lightly.

Nia opened her eyes with a start, her whole body trembling. Alice squinted her eyes and raised her head sleepily.

When he saw the boy's figure clearly, his bright green and light blue eyes shone at the same time.

Alice immediately stood up, dodged Nia's stumble, and rushed to Roy quickly.

"Master, welcome back!"

Perhaps she spoke too hastily, or perhaps she was still sleepy, the girl's tone was soft and a little unclear.

"Didn't I say you don't have to wait for me?" Roy said helplessly.

Alice is usually very well-behaved, but recently, when it comes to matters concerning herself, she has become more and more persistent.

For example, he insists on making breakfast for himself every day and takes a bath after himself at night, and no matter how much I persuade him, he won't change his mind.

"Alice is becoming more and more disobedient." Roy muttered softly and gently poked the girl's smooth forehead, causing her to shake.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"It's okay, Alice isn't hungry..."

Before she could finish her words, the girl's stomach began to rumble.

The little maid lowered her eyes guiltily and whispered her true feelings in a voice as soft as a mosquito's: "Because I want to have dinner with my master."

"No?" She raised her head again, a hint of cautious pleading in her misty eyes.

Being looked at like that, Roy felt like his heart was melting. How could he possibly blame her anymore?

"I really can't help you. Then hurry up and get ready. I'll help you."

"Ok!"

After getting Roy's help, Alice's expression softened immediately and she happily ran to the kitchen to busy herself.

On the other side, Nia cast a playful look at him and said teasingly, "Tsk tsk tsk, you must be very happy to have such a good little maid taking care of you."

Roy admitted confidently: "Are you envious? Unfortunately, you don't have it."

"?" Nia couldn't handle such a shameless answer.

Dinner was already prepared, Alice only needed to reheat it.

Roy took this opportunity to set the table.

Nia was responsible for chatting with him, which she described as providing spiritual support.

But Roy thought she was just lazy.

During this time, Nia suddenly stretched, and her beautiful figure under the school uniform looked even more graceful under the light, and her beautiful softness suddenly surged.

Because her sleeping posture was so bad, her collar was messed up, and only the tip of the iceberg of her beautiful cleavage was revealed.

Nia screamed cutely with resentment.

"By the way, could you please come back earlier next time? My breasts are about to burst from hunger!"

I really didn't notice. Roy complained in his heart, but asked curiously: "You didn't eat?"

Nia is a serious foodie, even Roy, who was from China in his previous life, feels inferior to her.

He could understand the little maid who adhered to the maid code and waited for him, but Roy really didn't expect that this foodie didn't eat anything.

If you think about it carefully, it's already this late, Nia doesn't even need to stay, she can just leave after dinner.

Unexpectedly, Nia held her chin and suddenly smiled, as if a breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers was blowing by.

"Because I want to eat with you~"

Roy's hand shook and he almost dropped his knife and fork.

But he quickly remembered the other person's personality.

This guy is the kind of guy who talks about marriage so casually, and he can't think about it himself.

Roy snorted, "Truly?"

Nia put away her sweet smile, drooling at the corners of her mouth, and said with great energy, "It's more delicious to eat together!"

"..."

Roy actually had some respect for this foodie who would rather go hungry than give up his pursuit of a perfect dinner.

Soon, the hot potato and beef stew was served on the table.

The beef is soft and fragrant, the potatoes have a dense texture, and then you dip the bread in some broth and put it into your mouth along with the beef and potatoes. The satisfaction created by the combination of the three is indescribable.

The two beautiful girls in front of him added a different spice to the dinner.

Alice stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked the broth in the spoon in small sips. She squinted her eyes, looking quiet and elegant. Her usually indifferent expression relaxed, and her face felt warm, as if it was about to melt.

Nia's movements are much more dramatic.

The girl took a big bite of beef and put it into her mouth. She covered her cheek with her hands in happiness, her eyes almost shining, and her long white legs couldn't stop flapping under the table. It was so delicious that she almost took off.

Looking at the two girls immersed in the food, Roy unconsciously drank one more bowl.

Nia was right, eating together does taste better.

After almost filling their stomachs, chatting is inevitable at the dinner table.

"By the way, the midterm exam is coming up soon."

Nia suddenly sighed.

"so......"

"So we have to study hard/go out and have some fun!" Nia and Alice said in unison.

The two looked at each other, both confused.

"Wait a minute, why is your first reaction to go out and have fun when the midterm exam is approaching?" Roy complained with a helpless smile.

The midterm exam of the Magic Academy consists of two parts: a written test and a practical test, both of which are quite difficult.

Roy was not worried about the actual combat, but even he could not guarantee that he would pass the written test without preparation.

Nia explained her twisted logic seriously: "Hey, aren't exams taken in batches? When others are taking exams, we don't have classes. Isn't that like a holiday? We can go out and play, right?"

"So, when we have a day off, why don't we go to the city and have some fun?"

As she spoke, the girl's eyes fell directly on the boy.

Chapter 55 Thoughts

Roy understood what the other party meant.

Due to the large number of students, the written examination of the Magic Academy was divided into two batches over two days. After the first batch was completed, the remaining day would naturally be a holiday.

To be honest, Roy was busy at the Adventurer's Guild this afternoon and hadn't really had a good time strolling around the streets of the Citadel.

Looking at the satisfied anticipation in the elf girl's eyes, Roy thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to accompany her for a stroll.

"This is my first day taking the exam, how about you?"

"It's my first day too! We can go out after the exam..."

"Alice is the next day."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nia's smile froze, as if she had been poured with cold water.

"How about... not reviewing anymore?" the girl asked cautiously.

Roy complained on the spot: "Hey, don't lead my top student astray!"

Having said that, Roy felt bad for leaving Alice alone in the room to review while he went out to play.

Or let it go...

Just as Roy was about to decline, Alice suddenly looked up and said, "Master, don't worry about Alice."

Roy and Nia were both stunned when they heard this.

"It's okay for Alice to be alone. This is a rare opportunity. Master, go play with Nia." Alice looked back and forth at the two of them and offered her suggestion lightly and gently.
