I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 93

Chapter 90: Obedient, Reliable, and Can Fight

“Holy crap?!”

Gray was taken aback and, without time to dodge, was blasted away by the incoming wind blade. His trusty giant axe, which had been with him during his dragon hunts for years, was neatly severed in half.

Three Extraordinary Beings were injured in quick succession, and at this moment, no one could stop this beast’s rampage.

No, all the soldiers were counting on me! How could I, Gray the Axe, fall here?!

Adventurers never retreat!

The pride of being an Extraordinary Being fueled Gray to endure the searing pain in his abdomen. With a roar, he stood up.

The thunderous cheers and encouragement from the crowd gave him even more strength!

But just as Gray was about to charge at the dragon with a fierce roar, he suddenly saw a petite Blonde Girl with a sword standing in front of him.

Her outfit was odd—she wore a maid’s short skirt but had on standard arm guards and steel boots. Her expressionless face and cold, shining eyes gave her the air of a girl in armor.

Gray panicked, “Little girl! Get back! That’s not something you can handle…”

But the girl turned back with a soft sigh, “Uncle, you’re in the way.”

“Um!” Gray felt like he’d been mentally hit harder than a dragon’s breath, leaving him stunned.

The next moment, the dragon swung its steel wings and lunged at the girl!

But the Blonde Girl didn’t retreat; instead, she advanced, drawing her blade and emitting a dazzling silver light!

Is that the Holy Light?!

She’s an Extraordinary Being too!

Gray realized then that the cheers around him weren’t for him!

“It’s Miss Alice!”

“Go for it, Miss Alice!”

“Show this monster the power of our guardian angel!”

The dark, steel wings clashed with the sword light in a flash.

One corner of the black dragon wings was abruptly severed, splattering filthy blood, making the once-mighty beast let out a painful scream for the first time.

One of Alice’s armguards was also shattered, her left arm dropping limply, dripping bright red blood.

However, Alice merely frowned slightly, showing no sign of pain.

Perhaps it was because she had endured too many beatings as a child; pain wasn’t something she found hard to bear.

The dragon seemed thoroughly enraged, shifting its direction, flapping its wings, its mouth shimmering with dark wind elements, apparently about to unleash its terrifying wind blade breath again.

“Danger! Get away!” Gray shouted a warning!

But at that moment, like they were on steroids, the soldiers started drawing bows, shooting arrows, and throwing stones, even the two tier-9 captains hurled their blades at the giant dragon, unleashing their full power to assist!

“How dare you harm Miss Alice!”

“This beast is asking for trouble!”

“Do you even deserve this?!”

The dragon probably never expected these frail humans to become so frenzied. It didn’t know what struck its eye, causing it immediate pain, making it crash to the ground, cutting off its impending breath.

In that instant, Alice moved.

That petite body was enveloped in a strand of holy light, exploding with a terrifying might that was unmatched by her size.

Gray asked himself, even his strongest attack couldn’t compare to this!

Alice aimed at the dragon and slid in low, angling her blade upward!

The dazzling sword light shot through the dark night like a straight meteor!

The sharp steel sword pierced the dragon’s soft belly with overwhelming force, casting it aside completely!

Accompanied by the dragon’s anguished scream, Alice’s figure appeared behind it, wielding her blade and showering it with blood.

Only then did the dragon finally crash down, tongue lolling out, lifeless.

——————————————

After finishing the hunt tonight, the scattered teams returned to the main camp set up in the woods to rest.

Alice was no exception.

“Our guardian angel is back!”

“With the Holy Light above, today Miss Alice took down another dragon; that thing was at least twenty meters tall!”

“I really like Miss Alice!”

Every time the golden figure walked past the tents, it drew a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

Alice was quite unaccustomed to this warm reception but politely nodded in response, saying, “Sorry, my body and soul are the master’s property.”

The girl didn’t find anything wrong with this statement, but it made the soldiers whistle in a rather ambiguous manner.

“Fools, Alice loves her master wholeheartedly, you don’t stand a chance!”

“But I heard Lord Ainbrad is a waste…”

The die-hard fan of Alice was still unsatisfied, only to be silenced by an elbow to the head from his officer.

“Do you dare believe such rumors?”

“Don’t be disrespectful to the master!”

“Besides, with how excellent Miss Alice is, how could her master, who she reveres, be just an ordinary person?!”

“Exactly, the master has many unfounded rumors. But the real master is handsome, gentle, kind, brave, and upright—worthy of everyone’s respect.” Alice only spoke more when it came to Roy, typically a woman of few words.

In truth, the infantrymen didn’t really know the rumors among the nobles, but under Alice’s tireless promotion like a missionary, Roy’s image in their hearts had already become that of a perfect young master.

At first, the soldiers were quite averse to having a little girl in their ranks since they were there to fight, not babysit.

Even Extraordinary Beings too.

Some rookie adventurers had extraordinary power but didn’t listen to military orders, had no clue what they were doing, and were useless afraid of blood.

Yet this little blonde maid slapped them all in the face.

Obedient, reliable, and can fight.

And she was cute.

In recent days, Alice filled in for the busy Anya, going around assisting the soldiers in their hunts, earning their deep respect and being hailed as the true guardian angel.

But Alice herself was very humble about it, stating she was merely doing her duty.

This, of course, made people fonder of this little blonde maid.

Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, she was already taken, and her partner was the son of the ones they served.

So, even if a passionate fan got too excited, they wouldn’t be disrespectful to Alice.

As an Extraordinary Being, Alice had her own tent and didn’t have to cram in with the stinky soldiers.

Once back inside her tent, she finally sighed in relief, took off her armor, washed the blood off her body, and changed into a clean maid outfit.

As Roy’s exclusive maid, maintaining her appearance was only natural.

Thanks to the Holy Light’s healing, her wounds were set to heal completely overnight; they were already scabbed over and didn’t require special care.

Every night after a hunt, Anya would come visit her.

This night, the lightly armored knight appeared at the door as expected.

“Good evening, Sister Anya.” Alice greeted elegantly, holding up her skirt for a curtsy, only to be playfully poked on the forehead by Anya, making the girl let out a cute squeal.

“Silly girl, you don’t need to be so formal with me. You must be tired today, right?”

“Compared to me, Sister Anya, you’ve worked much harder.”

“Before I became a maid, I was a knight. But you’re different; you really didn’t need to come with me, you could have gone with Roy to the capital for fun.” Anya’s eyes flashed with sympathy as she glanced at the dried blood scabs on Alice’s fair arms.

Anya had asked Alice about this before; the girl always said she was used to pain from being bullied as a child.

Even a battle-hardened knight couldn’t imagine how cruel those ordinary people must have been to make a little girl so accustomed to pain that she didn’t care when a beast ripped her flesh.

Anya had joined the military at the same age as Alice, but back then, it was turmoil and young people had no choice.

They fought back then to ensure the next generation wouldn’t tread a path of blood and fire.

Now Alice had chosen this path herself.

Sometimes, Anya hated Extraordinary Power; otherwise, children like Alice wouldn’t have to bear such a fate.

However, Alice shook her head, her gaze resolute and firm, “I want to become strong quickly to help my master.”

“Otherwise…”

I wouldn’t deserve to stay by my master’s side—this determination had been buried deep within Alice’s heart and she had never voiced it, not even to Roy.
