"Whew..."
Leaning against the wall that presented a resplendent feeling, Fang Li slowly exhaled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Fang Li put on an evening dress again, holding a glass of wine in his hand, swaying gently, and taking a sip into his mouth.
In front of it is the culminating dinner party.
Just like the last celebration banquet, this dinner party was still held in the same venue as the previous one, and even the layout was almost the same.
The long white tables were arranged in an orderly manner.
Plates of hot dishes are placed on top of it in great luxury.
Aristocrats in a variety of dresses were talking to each other with smiles that could not be faulted.
Adventurers in neat gear gathered to talk and laugh.
These scenes are the same as the last time.
The only difference is that this time, no one will doubt the ability of Fang Li and his party.
The eyes of the nobles changed from suspicion to respect.
The expressions of the adventurers changed from unkind to kind.
Kazuma, Akua, Megumi and Daknis are in the middle of it.
This time, the group became the veritable protagonists.
"Why do you think I'm favored by Fang Li? Still invited to join his team? That's because of me, of course! ”
The famously weakest class is surrounded by a group of adventurers, gulping down wine and meat, while still foaming at the mouth.
"It's not that I'm boasting, I'm really the soul of the team, without me, this team will definitely not work, yes, just can't, Fang Li just understands how precious I am, so I can crusade against the cadres of the Demon King Army, and even be favored by the princess, and you can too, as long as you join the Akusis Sect..."
The famous useless goddess constantly bragged about her abilities to others in the aristocratic circle, and even planned to trick these people into becoming followers of the Akusis Cult.
"Woohoo...! Whew...! ”
The Red Devil girl with a hole in her head didn't care about talking at all, burying her head between the plates of food, like a starving ghost reincarnated, just ordering the servants to hurry up and continue to serve the food.
"No, no, that's because you think so highly of me, to be able to get to this point, it's all the credit of my companions around me, I'm just everyone's shield..."
On the contrary, Daknis actually hid his unknown side in the past, like a real daughter, dignified and polite with the surrounding nobles and adventurers, and his noble temperament was revealed for a while, and it seemed that he would still take care of his image in front of the public.
Looking at these four teammates who were surrounded by aristocrats and adventurers like protagonists, Fang Li laughed dumbly.
"It's a shame that they were able to indulge themselves like this."
Fang Li is also the protagonist of this dinner party.
It's better to say that this dinner party was originally held for Fang Li to see him off, and the real protagonist should be only Fang Li.
It's just that Alice didn't spread the news that Fang Li was about to leave.
Therefore, the nobles and adventurers just thought that Alice was going to make up for the previous banquet, so they all surrounded Kazuma, Akuya, Megumi and Daknis.
Fang Li was also in the middle of it just now.
However, Fang Li soon got tired of making false promises with those nobles, and endured the same compliments from those adventurers, and hid in this corner, silently watching the dinner party go on.
Until a voice rang out.
"Why are you hiding here?"
As always, Alice, who was wearing a pure white dress, didn't know when she came to Fang Li, tilted her head, and smiled at Fang Li.
Perhaps, only in front of Fang Li, Alice would show such an unguarded smile, and in the past, she would take care of others, so it is impossible to show such a cheerful expression, right?
I believe that if this continues, sooner or later, Alice's introverted personality will improve.
Therefore, Fang Li also smiled slightly and replied.
"It's nothing, it's just a little boring, and those guys should be enjoying this dinner party anyway, so let them go and make a fuss."
This answer did not seem to surprise Alice.
"You're still the same as before, you won't beat around the bush." Alice said with a wry smile: "Obviously, this is a farewell party for you, and they have been carefully prepared, but I didn't expect it to make you feel bored." ”
"I think it's boring to talk to those nobles and adventurers, but didn't you say that dinner parties are boring?" Fang Li corrected without a trace: "At least, there won't be anyone who can't get along with eating and drinking, right?" ”
"That's good." Alice's expression regained her cheerfulness, and she came to Fang Li's side, leaning against the wall and looking at the scene in front of her, just like Fang Li.
Many people have seen this scene.
But no one came closer.
After all, the princess is talking to her betrothed, and no one will not know each other.
Therefore, everyone present pretended not to have noticed, and even Kuria was just eating with Lei Yin sullenly, and did not come closer.
So, Fang Li and Alice stood side by side, looking at the scene in front of them, and fell into silence.
Of course, the silence did not last long.
"Tomorrow," Alice muttered to herself, "Is it leaving tomorrow?" ”
"More precisely, it should be tonight." Fang Li replied directly: "When the dinner meeting is over, I will leave the royal city." ”
“…… So in a hurry? Alice whispered, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow to leave?" ”
"What needs to be done has been done, and what should have been said goodbye has been said." Fang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it drags on for too long, it will only make the reluctance and sadness continue to prolong, so it's better to simply do it." ”
"It's really your style." Alice couldn't help laughing, laughing a little in a trance, and said: "Last time, you were like this, you left without a little nostalgia, and I don't know whether it was cruel or gentle. ”
With that, Alice quietly stretched out her hand and took one of Fang Li's hands.
Fang Li immediately lowered his head and looked at Alice.
Alice also raised her head and looked at Fang Li.
In such a situation, Alice's young and lovely face is a smile that is both sad and happy.
Immediately, he said this.
"Please come back early."
"Otherwise, I'll be lonely."
Those words are enough to shake people's hearts.
At this, Fang Li sighed and smiled back.
"I'll remember."
The concise answer satisfied Alice.
The two of them raised their eyes again, stared at the dinner party ahead, and never spoke again.
Only the hands that were held together never let go.
That night, after the dinner party, Fang Li, who had changed into his evening dress, left the royal city directly as he said.
Finally, disappeared into the streets.
