"I'm sorry I scared you today."
After leaving the thieves to my private army, We continued our date.
Alice shook her head.
"There's nothing wrong with Arth. He protected me."
"Alice..."
"And that... I was happy. For a princess hug."
Alice laughs. yeah, cute After all, I'll have to properly take responsibility for putting my Alice in danger later. Thinking that, Alice grabbed my hand and said,
"That's amazing, Arth. You're so strong, I'm sorry I'm useless and could only watch in silence."
"That's not true. Just being by Alice's side gives me energy."
"I'm glad you do."
My combat power has increased by several orders of magnitude just by really having Alice. I can't live without Alice anymore.
"Come to think of it, I didn't really understand because I closed my eyes, but what was their purpose?"
"Hmm, maybe they were aiming for me..."
The aim is probably a complete personal grudge. I can only think of one person who has the money to hire a rogue of that level and who still holds a grudge against me. Or rather, I thought it would come out someday, but I was surprised to find that it would pull out its tail so easily.
My miscalculation was that the quality of the thieves was low and that I was in a situation where I was fighting right in front of Alice, but that was also a good reason to embrace Alice as a princess. That's right, a princess hug...
"Alice. Is there a last place you want to go?"
"Yes, what about you? Do you also have? How about he go there first?"
"Before that, can I ask you a favor?"
"What is it?"
"From now on, no matter what I do, will you close your eyes?"
"Uh...I understand."
After saying that, Alice obediently closed her eyes. Being so obedient makes me a little uneasy, but without saying anything like that, I pick up Alice and hug her for the second time today as a princess.
"Kyaa...Arth?"
"Is it okay if I take you with me like this?"
"Uh, I'm happy, but isn't it heavy?"
"Rather, it's too light to be a problem."
Arth-san, who has inhuman strength, is holding Alice, who is already delicate, so it's so light as adult carrying baby and almost not heavy. Even if Alice was lighter than the standard, she still thought that it might be strange that she could afford to be carry like a princess, I'm really speechless but she's my Alice so I acquiesce to that.
While moving carefully so as not to burden Alice. Alice opened her eyes a few times and looked at me and blushed, so I could tell she was conscious. When Alice is so close to me, I feel like playing a prank, but somehow I endure it.
I said kindly to Alice at the place I arrived at.
"Now you can open your eyes"
"Yes... wow!"
A field of flowers as far as the eye can see. I said after confirming that Alice was looking at the painting that would please any girl.
"It seems to be the most beautiful flower garden around here. I thought I'd come with Alice."
"It's amazing... I like the different nature from our garden."
"It's hard to come to a place like this alone. Besides, flowers look good on Alice."
"is that so?"
"ah"
Girls and flowers are the perfect combination, but Alice and Hanabatake surpass it. Rather, Alice is too dazzling, and no matter what you combine, it will be the supreme one.
"Um... By the way, how long will I be in this outfit?"
"Yeah? If you want to take it off, take it off. Is that okay?"
"Now, Arth is mean."
"I see. To tell you the truth, I can't help but enjoy holding Alice in my arms like this. So from now on, can I hold you like a princess from time to time?"
When she heard that, Alice looked a little embarrassed and nodded.
"I'm happy. Arth... It's been one of my dreams since long ago to have someone I love hug me like a princess."
"What are your other dreams?"
"That's... I can't say it."
"That's a pity"
Although I was warmed by the cute dream, once I put it down on the ground, Alice looked a little lonely, so I gently said that I would immediately connect Alice with her love.
"Isn't it nice to go around the flower garden like this? Don't worry, I'll hold you like a princess again later."
"Don't treat me like a child anymore"
"Then you can treat me like an adult."
"picture?"
Then, as I snatched the lips of the stunned Alice, I said with a smile.
"I can treat you more like an adult...do you want to?"
"No, it's okay"
"Really? Actually, it seems that there is something called a deeper adult kiss. So if Alice wants it, I'd like to do it."
The kiss just now was full, and Alice's brain seemed to be short-circuited by the word "adult kiss" coming out here. Her bright red face and watery eyes are quite tempting, but I put up with it. I'm a man of patience. That's why I don't do what Alice doesn't want. While thinking about such things, we enjoyed the flower garden.
