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

"You chose this place on purpose because you knew there were flower fields here, right? The scenery is really nice."

The girl was staring blankly with dead eyes at the moment, but when she saw Roy coming, her eyes brightened a little.

But she quickly lowered her head again, pinched the small flower in her hand, and was speechless for a while.

The flower fields were indeed part of the date plan, but the really important part was messed up.

Defeat the [Mist Mantis] gorgeously, wait for the mist produced by the monster to dissipate, and the colorful flower fields to reappear in the world, then show the boy a perfect smile and take him down!

Then, do it big and do it special.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

Fortunately, Roy still likes the scenery here.

"The scenery is nice, but it's a pity that we still overturned in the end." Not wanting Roy to be too affected by her emotions, Nia stuck out her tongue and laughed at herself.

However, no matter how playful her expression was, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"So what if the car flipped over? You've already behaved well."

"But in the end, it's still not strong enough, not handsome enough, not powerful enough... not enough..."

Not good enough for you.

Nia clenched the small flower in her hand, smiled bitterly and fell silent again.

Chapter 17: Extend a little

Elves are the darlings of nature, and a girl's smile should be set against the backdrop of sunshine and petals.

But now Nia lowered her head like a branch drooping in the rain, and remained silent.

"You know, it doesn't matter if your bloodline is a little behind now. I don't really care."

Nia raised her head sharply: "But I care—"

"Although you are lazy and playful, skipping classes and slacking off every day, and your bloodline has been wasted..."

Nia's eyes widened when she heard this.

No, are you praising me, comforting me, or being sarcastic?

Shouldn't they be kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up high at a time like this?!

When the girl's mouth was puffed up like a balloon, Roy looked back and said word by word, "But I like you just the way you are."

The balloon deflated instantly, and Nia lost her voice, leaving only her throbbing heartbeat like a deer.

Roy pinched the silly little face and said jokingly, "Only when it comes to taking risks, you're always full of passion and energy, and you don't want to give up easily. So what if you fall behind for a while? One day you'll catch up."

"Nia, I believe in you. One day you will become a great adventurer."

Without hesitation, Roy stared into the girl's eyes with certainty, he was so sure.

Not only because she is the girl of destiny in the original work, not only because she has golden bloodline, but also because of her persistence and hope for adventurers.

Soaring freely into the distance like the wind.

That's what impressed Roy.

There was undisguised hope in the dark eyes. As the warm wind blew into the emerald eyes, the emerald green of the elf girl finally became bright again.

Once upon a time, the adventures Nia longed for were the thrilling stories left by her biological father whom she had never met.

Until her first adventure away from home, her first encounter without constraints, her first time not bound by her mother, and her first time facing the fate of the [Forest Elves], it was the countless firsts she experienced with the boy that redefined adventure in her heart.

The girl's blushing cheeks trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"You have good taste!"

Nia jumped up, slapped her cheeks vigorously, and then her dazzling colors bloomed again.

"Since you've said so, let's work harder and become a great adventurer."

Become the amazing adventurer that you are.

"Then, I'll take you to experience more and more exciting adventures!"

The breeze disturbed the girl's smile, but her petal-like hands came against the wind, inviting the boy to join her in the future she had described.

Without hesitation, Roy extended his hand and shook it.

"I think this adventure has been wonderful."

"We're just getting started. If you're satisfied now, it would be a bit too hasty..."

Nia smiled, raised a finger to her lips, and said playfully: "After all, the adventure is not over yet."

Roy was a little surprised at this.

Hunting ferocious monsters, flower fields hidden in the forest, what else is there?

Nia was proud: "You know how adventure stories usually end?"

"After the adventure is over, there must always be enough gains to make it complete!"

"Unending wealth, world-renowned fame... well, I don't have them now, but I can give you an advance on the last one, okay?"

"The last item?" Roy asked curiously.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, as the breeze dances, colorful petals linger around, like a gorgeous painting.

However, compared to the elf girl's smile, everything pales in comparison.

Adventurers seek nothing more than treasure, fame, and—

"And romantic and sweet love."

Without waiting for an answer, the girl's lips, softer than flower petals, had already fallen with the wind, seeping into the heart, freezing everything in the most beautiful moment.

An unknown amount of time passed until the wind died down, the flowers fell, and the girl's straight, graceful legs began to tremble, and then the two of them slowly separated.

She did not ask the boy whether he was satisfied with this adventure, because she had already gotten the answer from his fiery heartbeat.

"Just look forward to it. One day, I will bring you an adventure that is a thousand times more exciting than this, and an even more perfect ending than this." Nia squinted her eyes in pleasure and smiled brightly.

Roy smiled slightly: "I believe you."

"But before that, can I ask you for a little advance?"

"I can't do anything about you..."

She murmured in a low voice, and the softness of petals came again with the wind.

------

On the way back, Nia was in a good mood.

[Mist Mantis] gloriously completed its mission, so Nia generously gave it to Red and others, and even transferred the commission fee.

Red was a little embarrassed at first, but when they saw the girl holding the boy's arm with a satisfied look on her face and smiling that her performance had been rewarded enough, they felt relieved.

A high-level transcendent, the daughter of the chief of the Emerald Council, actually doesn't like Sequence 5 Warcraft materials.

[Mist Mantis] is just a part of their play.

After saying goodbye to Red and the others, and since there was no need to assign any more tasks, Nia went shopping with Roy for a while before returning to the academy.

Nia was in high spirits all the way, but until the outline of the dormitory and the figures of the two girls appeared in the distance, Nia realized a serious problem as her smile froze.

This date was quite successful.

With just three words, Roy cured her anxiety, and with just one kiss, he made her forget all her troubles.

So it was not until this moment that she finally remembered what she had forgotten.

I agreed to take down Roy and push him onto the bed, but why did I end up being the one taken down?!

Nia's original plan was to land and defeat [Mist Mantis], then confess her feelings in the flower field, and then take advantage of the romantic night to pursue Roy and have him become a fait accompli.

But after the fierce battle that day, Nia was too tired, or maybe the boy's arms were too warm, and she fell asleep in Roy's arms!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you didn't seize it?!

Thinking about this now, Nia wants to cry!

But once she returns to the dormitory, the nightmare of cats and dogs will be waiting for her.

In comparison, Alice's food didn't taste good at all. Nia just stood there and didn't want to go back.

Noticing something strange happening to him, Roy turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

It would be a lie to say that I don’t look forward to that kind of thing, but as long as I am with the boy, even if I don’t make it to the last step, it will be perfect enough.

But, no matter how wonderful the adventure is, it will come to an end.

Summer vacation is approaching, and Nia knows very well that once the vacation comes, Roy will be busy with work. He will either go to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess or the Saint of White Harbor, and she will be the only one who will be separated from him.

By then she wouldn't even be able to hear the strange noises coming from next door.

The long summer vacation is filled with loneliness.

Unless, let this adventure be prolonged a little bit longer.

"By the way, what are your plans for summer vacation?"

Without waiting for Roy to reply, Nia quickly said, "Do you want to go back home with us and have another adventure?"

Chapter 18: Beneath the Smile

Nia pretended to reveal her true feelings casually, but in fact she was extremely nervous.

When Nia noticed that the boy was slightly stunned and fell silent, her heart sank to the bottom.

Oh too.

He is the princess's knight and the saint's guard, and has sufficient reasons to spend the holidays with them. But I don't have any straightforward reason to tie him to my side.

Nia now regretted that she had not inherited the Emerald Council earlier, so that she could not even use her real power to invite Roy.

Saying something like this willfully will only make things difficult for him, right?

With her fingertips curled up, but the corners of her lips raised, Nia deliberately pulled out a cheerful smile: "Just kidding, I was just saying it casually..."

"sure."

"Ugh?"

"Sure. I haven't been to the Emerald Court yet, so it would be nice to go there with you." Roy replied naturally.

Joy filled her heart, but worry also came with it. When Roy really agreed, Nia felt uneasy for him.

"Is it okay? The kingdom is still being rebuilt, and doesn't the code of Holy Light require you to accompany the Saint at all times? Is it really okay to just accompany me back like this?"

"Then I'll leave?" Roy said, looking a little amused. He was about to turn around.

Nia quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, wait!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. They won't say anything. The kingdom has stabilized. There's no need for further violence. Charlotte is more than capable of handling the situation. As for the principles of Holy Light, forget me. Do you think Alice is someone who believes in a goddess?"

Thinking of the happy past times they had in the church, Nia couldn't refute it.

Catching a glimpse of the unconcealed joy in the girl's eyes, Roy smiled knowingly and pinched her soft little face: "Besides, Nia is also very important to me."

"...glib."

While laughing and scolding, Nia also reached out and gently pulled Roy's face.

The movements of the two, which were not very forceful to begin with, became gentler as their eyes met, gradually turning into an ambiguous caress.

Nia's ears trembled and stood up at first, then gradually softened, and her delicate and plump body involuntarily came up to meet him.

Under the dim moonlight, the young boy and girl, who were blurred with each other, couldn't help but get close to each other's breath.

Unfortunately, just when Roy was about to savor the fragrance of the petals again, an impatient shout came from behind him.

"You're so slow! You're already at the door and you're still dawdling and flirting. Do you still want to eat?!"

The two were startled and had to return to the house in embarrassment.

During dinner, Roy explained his summer vacation plans to the two girls.

"That's it..."
