Chapter 922 The Last Daily Life 101
Seeing the two people competing against each other, Lynn said this with some surprise and worry, and secretly looked at Claire on the side, indicating to her whether she should stop the two of them.
Claire just sighed helplessly and didn't react.
"We're just playing games." Xiaolin waved his hand, signaling Lynn not to react so strongly, and said, "This is a serious duel between Alice and I! I must compete with you this time!"
"That's just what I want!" Alice said, not to be outdone. Then, she invited Xiaolin and said, "Come and play!"
After that, Xiaolin and Alice went to the room to start the game battle. As for Lynn and the others, they were invited by Claire and Rain to go somewhere else to rest and change into appropriate dresses - it would be impolite to attend the banquet held by the royal family if they still dressed as adventurers.
Krillin and Alice were playing a board game made by a certain reincarnated person.
"I will use this card to summon first, then use this card to perform a fusion summon, then use this card to summon again, and then perform a fusion summon again... Summon again, fuse again, summon again, and fuse again!"
Alice became more and more excited as she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, her field was filled with various Fusion series monsters. On the other hand, Kobayashi only had a lonely Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Even though this powerful monster had considerable attack and defense power, it could not withstand the attack and ravage of so many monsters. In the blink of an eye, Kobayashi's health points were reduced to zero and he lost the game.
"I lost! Ah - I lost, I lost! Don't play this anymore!"
Kobayashi threw his cards away, and with an expression of collapse and despair on his face, he lay back heavily, his whole body sinking into the large bed. Then he rolled around on the large bed in the palace like a child, just like an alternative Aqua.
Seeing him like this, Alice could only helplessly put down the cards in her hand, rolled her eyes, pouted with a hint of disgust, and said, "Really, Brother is so childish. You say such things when you can't beat others... I was also looking forward to this competition and put my heart into it for several days."
Alice seemed to be looking forward to this competition as well. She worked very hard and considered the combinations and commonalities between the cards carefully before putting together such a tricky deck.
Even though she said that, she didn't even look at the cards she had put together, which gave Kobayashi no chance to fight back at all - was it because the card version was still at the fusion summoning stage, or had Alice already found a sure-fire way to win? Why didn't Kobayashi have any chance to fight back at all? She thought the Blue-Eyes White Dragon she sent onto the field was the strongest force, but she didn't expect it to be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Its strength was too exaggerated!
No, I must change this.
However, this card game was brought here by other reincarnated people, and other people might not buy into such messy changes as mine. If that were the case, I might end up becoming a clown.
That means, if the reincarnated person doesn't update more decks, he will always be defeated by Alice! ?
Just when Xiao Lin was about to say, "I've never felt happy playing cards," Alice seemed to have sensed Xiao Lin's thoughts and spoke first, "I understand. I'll let you win next time. Let's play another game."
"Letting the water go... This is very hurtful."
Xiaolin covered his forehead in pain.
Although Alice was considerate and sympathetic to Xiaolin's pain, as a proud player, he found it difficult to accept when he heard someone say they wanted to let him win.
"That's true..." Alice nodded. Knowing Xiaolin's insistence, she thought of another way. "Then, how about I let Brother take a walk at the beginning of the game? After that, we can play a serious duel."
The girl chose to give in, which was no less than giving the opponent a few chess pieces during a game of chess. This was something that only a master could do and was the wealth of the strong.
Even though I'm unwilling... Even though I'm unwilling... But... There's no other way. If I want to win, this is the only way.
Xiaolin didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
After all, he was several levels behind his opponent, and the real approach was to gradually understand the opponent's tactics, and then counterattack when the right opportunity arose. He was already familiar with this kind of gameplay and tactics many times, so there would be absolutely no problem!
"Okay, it's settled! Let's have another match..." Xiao Lin agreed excitedly. When he asked for another match, he suddenly saw the people around him looking at him with strange and complicated eyes. He turned his head away in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong with you guys?"
"It's okay. I just didn't expect that a princess of a country and an adventurer would be so close... I'm a little surprised."
Keith shook his head.
It was as if what had just happened had had a great impact on his cognition. Perhaps when he was young, the nobles he served were all high-ranking guys, looking down on the lower class. And if you want to be looked at by the princess, you should at least be a noble. Anyway, Kobayashi, as an adventurer, will never be in the princess's eyes... Generally speaking, nobles should be bad guys like Eldap, and nobles as upright and honest as Darkness's father are really rare.
"Yeah, they're even better than real siblings."
Duster said this suddenly, his expression was a little complicated and his tone seemed particularly strange, as if he saw someone's shadow in Kobayashi and Alice.
As a dragon knight who once took the princess out of the palace to enjoy herself, the easy way Kobayashi and Princess Alice get along with each other must have been incredible and enviable to him.
"Better than real siblings...?"
Alice also murmured softly.
"Yes." Lynn nodded affirmatively. She said seriously, "Even if they are real siblings, they may not be able to tell each other their inner thoughts honestly. But I think the atmosphere between me and Her Highness Alice is very relaxed and happy, and it has become much better than that of ordinary siblings."
"Well, our relationship is indeed better than when we first met." Xiao Lin also smiled and said happily: "I remember when we first met--"
"You bold lunatic! How could a third-rate adventurer like you possibly be able to defeat Mr. Mitsurugi Hibiki? Explain how you defeated Mr. Mitsurugi Hibiki! If you can't do it, that man is a weak and liar who can only talk big!"
"Really? Did Her Highness Alice say something like that?"
"Yeah, yeah, she even said something super rude to provoke Satou Kazuma."
"Eh? Is that Satou Kazuma?"
Lynn was a little dumbfounded. Normally, the one who provoked would be Kobayashi, after all, it was their first meeting. However, she didn't expect that it would be Sato Kazuma, a guy who hadn't appeared for a long time. It was really surprising.
"Brother, brother, brother, brother... Brother-sama!?" When Princess Alice heard what Xiaolin said, she immediately became extremely anxious and nervous and shouted loudly: "Although the content is correct, I don't think I said it so harshly!?"
"I embellished it a little."
"Hate it, Brother, how can you be like this! You are so mean."
Princess Alice was very nervous that she would leave a bad impression on Kobayashi, but when she heard that Kobayashi said this on purpose, she was relieved, but at the same time she complained to Kobayashi with a little anger.
"Excuse me……!"
At this time, Taylor couldn't help but raise his hand and asked in surprise, "Why is Her Highness Alice so close to Xiaolin?"
After all, this is the most incredible thing. The conversation between Princess Alice and Kobayashi just now shows that their first meeting was not so pleasant. However, they were able to put aside their past grudges and become so good friends. It actually makes people feel strange. What happened in between?
"Taylor..." Xiaolin glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "The way you ask it sounds like you're saying that being close to me is something very unusual."
“That’s how it is.”
"Hey!"
Hearing Taylor's blunt admission, Xiaolin suddenly felt unwilling.
“Hehe…” Alice smiled softly. She looked at Kobayashi who was joking with others with some joy and said, “I think it’s great that Brother is so straightforward and honest. Even when facing a member of the royal family like me, he can get along naturally… This is the first time I’ve met such a person. So, I want to get along with him.”
These words clearly showed that Her Royal Highness was approachable, but Chis covered his mouth in fear and worry, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lin, you dare to treat Her Royal Highness with such a disrespectful attitude... You might be arrested and thrown into jail."
"In fact, I was almost sanctioned by Claire."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain, and after seeing the slightly worried expressions of Dust and the others, he casually waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be nervous, and said, "It's okay! Judging from the results, this is why we can get along well... We did get along well, right, Your Highness Alice."
"Yes, Brother!"
Princess Alice hugged one of Kobayashi's arms, and the two of them pressed tightly together, looking extremely intimate. There was no barrier between them at all, which made Lynn, Duster and the others look at each other in surprise.
"In a sense, Xiaolin is really not an ordinary person."
Dust sighed and shook his head as if giving up.
At this time, the door of the palace was opened, and a person walked in from outside. It was Claire. She looked at everyone in the room and said, "Your Highness Alice, sorry to bother you."
"Ah, it's Claire, is the time up yet?"
"Yes, you should get ready for the ball."
Claire came to Alice's side and pretended to take her to another room to dress up. As the princess of the kingdom and the invitee of the ball, if she didn't dress up and prepare for the show, people would gossip about her. Therefore, even Alice would not be willful in such matters, although after all, she was not willful.
"Then, brother, let's meet again at the dance." Princess Alice waved to Xiaolin, then glanced at the cards scattered on the big bed and said with a smile: "The outcome of this game will be decided next time."
"You want to run away after you win?! How shameless!!"
Xiaolin was a little excited.
What he hated most was people who ran away after winning. Of course, he also hated people who didn't let him run away after he won. Alice didn't dwell on this matter. Instead, she asked with some concern, "By the way, Brother, do you have clothes to wear to the dance?"
"No, I didn't have time to prepare." Xiao Lin shook his head flatly, and said with his arms folded across his chest like a bachelor: "But it's enough for me to just watch you dance in the corner."
Xiaolin didn't want to join the dance.
Although he has become a bit lazy and sloppy now, almost like a useless person, as a strong man who has defeated many cadres of the Demon King's army, he is still very popular in the royal capital. What he hates most is being surrounded by those nobles, so he wants to reduce the chances of showing his face as much as possible.
However, Alice shook her head.
"Bu, there's no point in inviting my brother to the ball!" Princess Alice seemed to be worried about hurting Xiaolin's self-esteem, and explained: "Although I also like your current outfit, but those nobles might... Forget it. Lei Yin, can you please prepare a costume for my brother?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess questioned her guards.
"Yes, as ordered."
Lei Yin nodded decisively, and then took Xiao Lin to another room, where a lot of clothes were prepared in various types and sizes. It seemed that they were specially kept as spare parts for those who did not have time to prepare.
"Well, we will prepare Mr. Kobayashi's costume. Then, I'll leave the small theater to you, Miss Lynn."
"Okay, I'm honored to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Lynn also accepted it generously.
But Xiaolin was very keen to see that Lynn's clenched fists and slightly trembling legs were not as relaxed as they seemed.
And Dust slapped Lynn on the shoulder, as if to give her courage, and said in a funny and funny way: "I didn't expect that Her Highness Alice would want to watch our performance. It seems that my handsomeness is also very useful to the royal family..."
"Well, there will be a lot of nobles coming to see me, right? I have some psychological problems..."
Chis said this somewhat awkwardly.
Taylor was there to comfort him.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Lin crossed his arms and said with some disdain, "Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with your status, right? Well, go show us your strengths!"
"Okay!" X4
After hearing what Xiaolin said, they regained their spirits. The preparations for the dance were going smoothly.
