I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 680

Chapter 61: Not So Pure

Caught off guard by others pointing out the mood, Roy froze and quickly retracted his hand that was reaching toward the girl’s head.

Lately, he had been patting heads so often that it was almost becoming a habit.

This simply wouldn’t do.

Putting it aside for now, being too familiar in front of the Saintess would likely lead to some strange misunderstandings!

Whether as a master and maid, or as a candidate for saint and her knightly attendant, one had to abide by the basic laws of male-female interactions.

However, with Roy retracting his hand, it was now Alice who slumped over to the side, looking like a puppy that couldn’t get any bones, her head lowered in a pitiful manner.

Roy suppressed the urge to comfort the little maid by petting her head and turned to Teresa: “I’m sorry for causing you to laugh, Lady Teresa.”

“It’s just a little procession, but I’m sorry to trouble you so much today.”

Teresa waved her hand amiably: “No worries.”

“Alice is now a candidate for our White Harbor’s saint, so it’s natural to take good care of her.”

Even though his moment of intimacy with Alice was interrupted, he was still very grateful to the escorting knight.

High-tier extraordinary beings were national-level combat power.

Forget candidates, even official saints might not have high-tier extraordinary beings act as personal bodyguards.

The fact that the Saintess was willing to hide her identity and come to protect them, although it had something to do with Alice’s exceptional talent, also reflected the kindness in Teresa’s personality.

Just as the rumors said, Lady Teresa was truly a good big sister with no airs of a strong person, kind-hearted and simple. Thinking of this, Roy couldn’t help but give her a mental thumbs-up.

Teresa smiled sweetly, her expression resembling that of a caring mother.

However, all of this was just a facade.

Heh.

Hehehehehe~~~!

Ever since she witnessed the scene of Roy hugging Alice during the saint selection, Teresa was convinced that there was something unpure between the two.

Yet, she wasn’t worried; she was pleased instead.

The innocent young boy, the sweet young girl, a pure romance!

Oh, this is just my cup of tea!

Stuck all day in the church with old folks chanting scriptures was driving her mad, where’s the fun in that compared to witnessing a budding romance up close?

Don’t mind me; you two keep it up, and do it quickly!

What saint’s trials, White Harbor Church, all that can wait; the important thing is for you two to deepen your feelings for each other!

What? You say a saint must maintain a pure identity?

Oh please, just pay lip service to what the church says, there’s no need to take it seriously!

Compared to those playboys from the Eastern Continent, you two are already purer than the Holy Light!

Rest assured, the body is just a shell; the goddess doesn’t demand true love, having a pure soul is enough, so just continue as you wish!

Teresa maintained her motherly demeanor but secretly swallowed her saliva, letting out a lewd auntie laugh in her heart.

Today’s saint procession had two destinations, one was the White Harbor Square, the other the White Harbor Knights’ Hall.

Since there were many people in the square, it was convenient for disseminating their teachings, so the square was a must-stop for every procession.

On the pristine square, it was packed with people.

As soon as Alice stepped onto the speaking platform, cheers erupted from below.

In reality, the so-called procession was just preaching.

The teachings of the Holy Light were basically just some fables everyone was already tired of hearing, teaching you to be earnest and uphold kindness.

However, when Alice spoke, even though she read without much emotional tone and occasionally had to look down at the Holy Light scriptures, every word seemed like heavenly music, causing the people below to occasionally weep and rejoice, each one more pious than the last.

After a long preaching session ended, Alice, adorned in a white dress, drew a cross with her somewhat inexperienced hands and concluded indifferently, “The Holy Light is above, praise the goddess.”

“The Holy Light is above!”

“Praise the goddess!”

“Praise Lady Alice!!!”

Watching the visible fervor and piety from the crowd below, and recalling that usually quiet little maid behind him, Roy felt a surge of emotions. He couldn’t believe there’d come a day when she would stand on stage as the center of attention.

After the speech concluded, the procession moved from the square to a pre-reserved café for a break.

The knights protected the perimeter to ensure that no crazed fans or scheming individuals could get too close.

Here, Alice could temporarily shed the burden of being a candidate for saint and take a moment to rest.

To be honest, being a maid had already become second nature for Alice; watching everyone respectfully pour her tea and set the table made her feel quite out of place.

But now wasn’t the time to enjoy leisure.

“Alice, you want some cheesecake today too?”

“Yeah!”

Huh?

No, wasn’t it agreed that now was not the time to enjoy leisure!

Alice suddenly snapped out of her sweet treat reverie, her sparkly, sugary eyes turning sharp like an eagle in the next instant!

“Composure, der! Listen to me, if you want to chase a guy, just remember the two most powerful weapons girls have! First, smile more! The girl who laughs is the cutest! Second…”

Use your body to take him down!

Recalling the teachings from a certain busty elf, Alice took a deep breath.

She might not master personality, but Nia’s method was essentially experience-based techniques.

As long as it was a technique, there was nothing you couldn’t learn.

Wind direction; calm! Angle; straight line! Surroundings; no one around, no obstacles at all!

Alice locked onto her target and dashed forward!

Bam!

Every time Nia used this move, it would send her master into complete submission with its lovely arc!

With a thud, the blonde girl crashed straight into the young boy’s chest.

Roy jumped in surprise.

“You, are you okay?”

“…Not too good…”

That was definitely not just a joke.

This collision didn’t take Roy down, but Alice was nearly floored by the rebound effect.

The girl’s personal experience proved that without sufficient “bust,” all she’d bring upon herself was humiliation, blindly replicating someone else’s moves and getting rebounded by Roy’s solid frame.

Dazed and seeing stars, Alice squeezed out a stiff, pale smile with all her effort.

Roy was momentarily speechless.

What’s wrong with this child today? She can’t be so hungry she’s acting silly, right?

Alice still wasn’t willing to give up. She leaned against Roy’s chest, this time not daring to push hard; she just gently nudged him with her flushed forehead.

But now, it looked more like a little golden retriever sticking close to its master.

While Roy really enjoyed the soft sensation in his arms, he also felt slightly embarrassed with Teresa and the other clergy watching from outside.

And besides…

Alice’s little attacks actually had some effect.

The little maid’s development had far surpassed that of a certain flat-chested princess, and with the continuous impact, Roy felt a subtle softness.

Gently holding Alice’s shoulders, Roy smiled wryly: “Okay, okay, let’s eat the cake, or we won’t have enough time.”

“But…”

Alice stubbornly puffed out her cheeks, still pressed against Roy’s chest.

She hadn’t made him fall for her yet.

Until the mission was complete, not even dessert could shake Alice’s determination.

“Then how about I feed you?”

“Sure!”

In Roy’s embrace, Alice instantly lifted her head as if rehearsed countless times, sweetly opening her cherry-like lips to enjoy what her master offered.

The observing clergy looked on with complex expressions.

Seriously, such a natural feeding scene is hard even for couples in love to achieve, right?!

Watching the duo’s intimate interaction, someone finally couldn’t help but ask, “Lady Teresa, is there something unpure between Roy and Lady Alice?”
