Chapter 486 Saiyan's straightforward statement, a strong desire to win!
"Hilfie, have any of the children in the village been bullying you lately?"
Luo Qixi didn't notice Little Alice's expression behind her. She turned to the green-haired little girl in front of her who was happy to be praised and asked her a question.
Compared to Alice, the noble lady from a lord's family, Lokishi, who is of demonic origin and also suffers from many problems due to the reflective color of her hair, is closer to little Sylphie, who has similar problems.
"No, they don't dare to bully me anymore when they hear Sister Luo Qixi's name."
Little Xilufei shook her head. Although she had gained the nickname "tattletale," compared to the other children who used to push and shove her, it was just a matter of being given a nickname. The girl didn't feel like she was being bullied.
Of course, she was genuinely sad, since no other children her age in the village wanted to play with her.
However, Hilfi didn't mind, because she still had her brother Broly and sister Loki who would visit her every few days. They protected her, gave her delicious food, and were willing to teach her magical magic.
Therefore, every time Broly and Loki come, it makes Silphie especially happy.
"That's good."
Luo Qixi felt relieved and looked at Xiao Xilufei with gentle eyes, then reached out and rubbed the other's soft little head.
Hilfi enjoyed the demon girl's head pat, while little Alice's lips pouted higher and higher, because Loki had never done anything so intimate with her before.
"Next, I'm going to test your magic."
"Um."
"We won't need the Water Ball spell; you've used it very skillfully. Let's go straight to the intermediate-level Water Cannon spell."
Little Alice pricked up her ears; this was exactly what she was trying to learn.
"Sister Luo Qixi, I've memorized the incantation for the water cannon spell, but I still can't cast it."
As she spoke, little Hilfi recited the entire incantation for the water cannon spell.
"I can memorize this too."
Little Alice quickly chimed in; she couldn't let this little guy steal her thunder anymore.
"But you can't release it either, can you?"
"I'll definitely learn it before she does."
Little Alice glared at Broly, then crossed her arms and said...
"Being able to chant spells skillfully is already a remarkable achievement for children your age. All you need to do next is to coordinate the spells with the magic power within your body and release it smoothly."
At this point, Luo Qixi paused, clapped her hands, and said to the two girls, "How about this, since you're both at a similar level in learning water cannon techniques, why don't you learn them together and see who masters them first?"
"I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely prove that I'm better than this guy."
Loki's suggestion was exactly what little Alice wanted to hear, and the red-haired girl put her hands on her hips and said.
"Huh?"
Little Xilufei was somewhat at a loss, because she wasn't that competitive.
"It's settled then, Silphie. You'd better do your best."
Loki encouraged the little guy, believing that appropriate competition could help boost students' motivation to learn.
This experience comes from her own experience, because she was in a similar situation when she was learning intermediate healing, and she was in a competitive relationship with Felia.
Without Philia, she most likely wouldn't have mastered intermediate healing, whether in this playthrough or the previous one.
"Sister Luo Qixi, I will try my best."
As mentioned before, little Sylphie is very well-behaved. Although she lacks a competitive spirit, she is obedient and will try her best to learn water cannon techniques. She will not give up easily.
"Practicing water cannon techniques requires a sufficiently spacious area; let's go to the riverbank."
As Loki suggested, the group soon arrived at the clear water river in Buyena village.
"Gentle water spirit, Princess Asakawa who flows across the land, use your powerful strength to wash away everything..."
Little Sylphie and Little Alice faced the stream and began chanting spells together.
A magical fluctuation could be felt in their outstretched palms, but the water cannon magic was not cast.
Little Sylphie managed to condense a tiny drop of water that landed on the ground, while Little Alice couldn't even condense a drop of water. Somewhat unconvinced, she began chanting a spell again.
The competition quickly took effect, and little Alice had never before been so focused, serious, and dedicated to her magical training.
When the sun was high in the sky and it was getting hot even practicing magic under the shade of a tree, her water cannon spell finally produced a few splashes. Although it still failed to be released, she was clearly making progress little by little.
"Teacher Loki, Broly, did you see that? My Water Cannon technique is starting to condense... water."
Little Alice spoke excitedly, but when she turned around, she saw little Sylphie, who had exhausted her magic power, being comforted by a demon girl who placed her on her lap as a knee pillow.
"Hilfie, you are already very proficient in the magical structure of the Water Cannon spell. Now all you need is the magic power."
"You're too young; the latent magic within you hasn't been unlocked yet. But I believe that once you grow a little older, you'll be able to unleash the Water Cannon spell smoothly."
Little Sylphie was unable to unleash the Water Cannon spell simply because she lacked sufficient magic power, not because she didn't master the magic manipulation techniques.
Loki felt that this child's talent in magic was no less than her own, and that with proper guidance, he might even be stronger than her.
"Perhaps I should go find another Crystal Love ore."
Broly, standing to the side, stroked his chin and said.
"Alice, you're great too. I'm sure you'll learn the water cannon technique soon."
After comforting Xiao Xilufei, Luo Qixi looked at the red-haired girl with sweat on her forehead and praised her as well.
However, little Alice was not happy at all, because what he just said meant that if that green-haired little guy had enough magic power, he would already be able to unleash the water cannon spell.
"Come and rest for a bit."
Luo Qixi gave a shout and cast a frost spell, lowering the temperature around her.
"Miss Kyrie, could you please pull up the picnic blanket?"
Broly pulled out a picnic blanket and asked the orc female swordswoman to hold the other end.
"it is good."
Gilead didn't refuse and helped lay it out.
"Brother Broly, is there anything I can help you with?"
Little Shilufi stood up and asked.
She rested for a while and is feeling much better now.
"Then, Hilfi, could you help set the table?"
Broly then took out a box of cutlery from the Crystal Palace and asked little Sylphie to help with the chores.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Alice strode over aggressively and asked directly.
"Alice, you should rest for a while."
Broly noticed the sweat on her forehead and said...
"I do not want."
"Huh?"
"Let me do something too!"
"Uh, then you can help pour the juice."
Seeing that she insisted, Broly took out several small wooden buckets containing different juices and some wooden cups for her to help pour the juices.
This kind of work was usually done by servants for Alice, a noblewoman, but now she was doing it with great enthusiasm.
"What are you doing? Why did you spill the juice I poured for you?!"
However, Alice and little Sylphie had a conflict when Broly was placing various foods on the tablecloth.
"I'm sorry."
Little Sylphie quickly apologized, and there happened to be some purplish-red liquid spilled on the picnic blanket she was standing on—freshly squeezed grape juice.
"It's okay, just clean it up and freeze it."
Loki used her magic to freeze the spilled grape juice. She easily peeled the frozen grape juice off the picnic blanket with her hand. Although some traces remained, it didn't affect anything anymore.
"Do you look down on me?"
However, little Alice persisted in questioning little Sylphie.
"Ah, I didn't..."
"No, then why did you spill the juice I poured for you?"
"Is it possible that you filled the juice bottle too full?"
Broly pointed to the wooden cups that could spill juice with the slightest movement and said.
"You mean she spilled the juice I poured for her, and it was all my fault?"
"It's not a big deal. It's not Sylphy's fault, but it's not yours either. After all, Alice, you've never done anything like pouring juice for someone before."
Luo Qixi tried to smooth things over.
"Gilead, tell me, is this my fault?"
Little Alice ignored Loki and Broly, and instead looked at her swordsmanship teacher and asked.
"If you pour it too full, some will definitely spill if you're not careful when you pick it up."
Kyrie Irwin spoke frankly; being a beastman, she always said what she meant.
"Ah, even you say that..."
Little Alice's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"You're all a bunch of disgusting guys."
After saying that, she ran away.
"What happened?"
Broly was a little stunned, and really couldn't understand why the girl had suddenly become like this.
It was clearly the other party who was picking on Sylphie, but now it seemed like she was the one who had been wronged.
But the Crystal Palace panel doesn't lie; Alice's happiness level is indeed decreasing.
"Ah, I get it!"
Luo Qixi was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized what was happening.
"Alice has always been the center of attention since she was a child. After we got along well with her, we often took care of her. But now that we've come to Buena Village, we're taking even more care of Sylphie. She must have felt a little unbalanced after seeing that."
The demon girl explained as Broly and Kyrie Irvine looked over.
"I see."
Gilead suddenly realized.
"Broly, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go get Alice back!"
Seeing the boy still standing there motionless, Luo Qixi couldn't help but urge him on.
"Alice was the one in the wrong, so why should I chase after her to get her back?"
Broly felt that Hilfi, who was being targeted, needed comfort more.
"Hey, do you still want Alice to be your wife?"
"think."
"If you want to, go after her."
"Nahhilufi..."
"I'll take care of little Sylphie and comfort her. You're in charge of bringing Ellie back."
Remember, don't use harsh methods. Talk to the child nicely, understand her feelings, and then coax her back.
Under Loki's command, Broly went to act. Loki breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her boy chasing after the girl.
Given Broly's rather straightforward personality, it would be quite a challenge for him to win over Alice if he were alone.
"Sister Luo Qixi, does Sister Alice hate me?"
At this moment, little Xilufei asked with tears in her eyes.
"She doesn't dislike you, she's just a little envious of you."
"Huh?"
"Her family took good care of her, so the child thought that everything in the world should revolve around her. But after she discovered that we revolve around you, she became a little unhappy."
"So, is it Sylphie's fault?"
"Little Sylphie, you did nothing wrong."
Luo Qixi shook her head.
"But please don't blame Alice; her personality is simply a product of her upbringing."
Little Xilufei looked a little confused, but still nodded.
"I won't blame Sister Alice."
"Sylvie is such a good girl, do you want some cake?"
"Um."
After feeding Little Xilufei cake and making the little one smile, Luo Qixi looked at the beastman female sword king next to her.
"Miss Kyrie, aren't you going to chase after Alice?"
"Broly is enough. I think Miss Alice probably doesn't want too many people to see what she looks like right now."
As she said this, Gilead felt something was off. It was like a judgment she made intuitively, but it also felt like a choice someone had told her before, like a premonition.
. . . .
Alice ran away, not knowing where she was going. When she came to her senses, she found herself in the forest.
"Damn it, why is it all my fault? If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have come here!"
The girl, tired from running, kicked the tree beside her with her little feet, sobbing as she did so.
"Where am I?"
After venting her anger, Alice began to pay attention to her surroundings.
"Gilead..."
She instinctively wanted to call for help, but then she shut her mouth after realizing what was happening.
"They're all annoying guys."
She planned to leave the forest on her own, and once someone returned home, she would have her grandfather dismiss everyone.
That's what Little Alice thinks.
The forest in the afternoon is not too dangerous.
However, this applies to hunters who are accustomed to hunting in the forest.
Even though Alice wasn't completely helpless, she was still just a child.
There are many things in the forest that could pose a threat to her.
Whether it was bad luck or not, there happened to be a bear den in the direction Alice chose.
Just as the girl climbed up a small hill, she encountered a mother bear leading her cubs out of their den.
"Roar~"
The mother bear saw the girl, roared, and charged at her.
Little Alice was a little stunned, but she still reacted, instinctively chanting the Water Ball spell.
However, the water balloon had little effect on the female bear, which was not much smaller than an adult human.
"Gilead, Broly, Ms. Loki, Grandpa, Dad..."
Faced with the ferocious beast, the girl instinctively called out the names of everyone she could rely on, then crouched down to protect herself, covering her head.
"Bang!"
The incident of being killed by the bear did not occur. The ground in front of her shook, and as little Alice cautiously opened her eyes, the mother bear that had tried to attack her was already lying on the ground, with the boy whose name she had just called out on her head.
"Alice, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. No, who needs your concern?"
Broly was somewhat speechless.
"Whose name were you calling just now?"
Anyway, I didn't call your name.
The little guy denied it loudly, but his face was already red from lying.
"Okay, I'm here to take you back."
"Who asked you to pick me up?"
"Of course it's Luo Qixi."
"Huh?"
Little Alice opened her mouth wide and asked, "What if Teacher Loki didn't ask you to pick me up?"
"Then of course I won't come. After all, you shouldn't have bullied Sylphie."
Broly said honestly.
"Ugh, you annoying guy! If you didn't want to come, then don't come!"
Little Alice kicked him twice in anger, but Broly didn't dodge.
"That won't do. I still want you to agree to be my wife in the future."
He said.
"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting, you annoying guy?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, and even if you don't agree, I still have to come over when you're in danger."
After all, Alice Boreas, you're my good friend.
Broly's direct attack left Alice a little bewildered, her expression a mixture of joy and confusion.
At this moment, two bear cubs came over and howled beside their fallen mother.
"Since you consider me a good friend and want me... well, to become your wife in the future, then why are you still so nice to that green-haired guy?"
"Well, because I also want little Shilufi to agree to be my wife in the future."
Broly was telling the truth.
Upon hearing this, little Alice looked completely bewildered.
Even she felt that what the boy said was a bit outrageous.
"Are you a pervert? It's one thing to have feelings for me, but to have feelings for a child younger than me?"
"What can I do? You're all too young for me to control."
Broly was somewhat helpless.
He crouched down, lifted the unconscious mother bear, and put her back into the bear den.
Then, she came out and picked up the two bear cubs, putting them back next to their mother, whom she had kicked unconscious.
"Hey, Broly, can you just have me?"
When they came out again, they saw little Alice blushing as she said these words.
"You can spank my butt as many times as you want in the future; I won't want to get my way back."
Little Alice added, giving details of her excellent qualifications.
"Adults make choices, but I want them all."
Broly shook his head and refused the girl's request.
"If you can't accept this, then I guess I'll have to say goodbye."
Little Alice: "..."
"You really are an annoying guy!"
. . . .
"How's it going, Broly? Did you manage to appease Alice?"
Seeing Broly return safely with Alice, Loki pulled the boy aside and asked him the question.
"Well, I guess you could say I've made up for it."
Broly wasn't entirely sure about that either.
"I'll make sure you only have me from now on. Just you wait and see."
These were the words Alice said to him before she returned.
"Ugh, Alice, could you please stop staring at me like that?"
As soon as Alice returned, she stared at her, and little Sylphie almost burst into tears.
"Hmph, Sylphie Yett, huh? Listen to me right, I, Alice Boreas, will be the ultimate victor!"
Alice crossed her arms and declared this to little Sylphie.
"Wow, is their competitive spirit that strong?"
Loki thought the girl was talking about who would learn the water cannon technique first.
