LV999 Villager Chapter 10 part5

Pack (01/02)

NT: Yeah~, sorry for not posting anything the last week, i was a little busy, but, hey, look, i felt bad for that, so i decide to do a double release this week, and… well, that all… enjoy your reading.

Due to the tranquility with which he sat, Alice just stared at him with a lost look while Palna let out a sigh. Then, a few seconds later, Alice's gaze did light up as she ran towards Rex, then he jumped at him while hes long and bright red hair swayed.

「Huh!? What are you doing!?」

Rex, who failed to react in time to Alice's jump, ended up soaking up the tea he had served for himself moments before.

「Who are you?… A fan? Even if you are, it's still wrong for you to jump on me as soon as you see me. Hey, Palna, I think you've become somewhat negligent with the employee education since I left 」

Alice didn't pay much attention to Rex's unexpected words. However, after noticing Rex's sulky look, she could understand that he was not joking.

「What are you talking about? It's Alice, don't you see it?」

「Ah? What are you talking about? Alice is much smaller. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said it's just a little girl」

Rex said as he put his hands on his knees. Alice couldn't help but involuntarily inflating her cheeks after realizing that Rex hadn't recognized her.

「Sorry! But you are too tall! I can't believe you're Alice! 」

At that moment, Alice showed Rex, who still refused to believe it was her, the ribbon she used to hide her horns behind her head and the cloth she used to suppress her Magic Power. Then Rex began examining Alice from every angle while showing an astonished look.

「… Have you not grown too much?… And in many places?」

「First, three years ago, when I was 13 years old, I was too small for my age. I had gone through a phase of slow growth. But after that I started growing without problems」

「That must be a lie! That you will start growing so fast is… I have more muscles than before! But that is because I was training! 」

「What have you been… doing so far? We lost several of our Noble customers after you and Krull left, you know? Now, speak…」

「I was training in the Dungeons that are around the world」

「Ha~a? Why would you do something like that?」

At that moment, Alice, who seemed to have noticed something, took distance from Rex with an insecure look on her face.

「What's up Alice?」

「…Rex-san, why did you go to the Dungeons? Wait… It can't be that-」

Noticing that Alice was beginning to smile, Palna approached Rex to ask him something, however, at the moment she was going to speak to him, she let out a scream, 「Ugggg!」, at the same time she perceived an unpleasant smell. Rex, who was shocked by her reaction, left the break room in silence and made his way to the showers for the casino staff.

Ten minutes later. Rex returned from the bathroom, looking cleaner than before, and carrying a towel around his neck.

「So… why did you go to the Dungeons?」

「I'll explain that to you」

At that moment, the door of the break room opened and a man, who had distinctive fish eyes and was dressed in a suit and tie tied around his neck, entered. Behind him was a girl who had green hair tied in two ponytails and who also wore a white cleric suit which seemed to be designed to facilitate her movements.

「Tinsan! What is he doing here?」

「Well, well, Alice-sama? You have nothing to tell me before?」

「Ah… I'm sorry, David-san, I shouldn't have left on my own」

「Very well. Alice-sama returned safe and sound, so there is nothing to regret」

David said while showing a smile. Until a few hours ago, his head had entered into complete chaos believing that Alice would suddenly leave just like Krull.

「*Han*」, Palna, who knew that, snorted with her nose as she laughed.

「I feel him hasn't changed much since last year, but … David has put all his dedication into Alice's care. Well, at least it looks much more energetic than before 」

「Hohoho, Tinsama seems to have grown since the last time I saw her」

「So you realized, huh. I had been a little nervous since Alice could end up reaching me if I didn't do anything, but now… Just look at me」

Tina, who wanted to show off her growth, hurried to Alice's side with a face and said, 「How are you?」 With a confident look. Tina had certainly grown over the past three years. However, Tina was the same height as the current Alice.

Tina was shocked after realizing that reality.

「Wait! Why did you grow so much !? I'm already 19! Aren't I supposed to not grow anymore!? At this rate I will be the smallest one!」

「Even if you says that… Errm, when does Tinsan come back? I don't think that coincidentally also returned time… Did you make any agreement with Rex-san? Why did Rex-san go to the Dungeons?」

Palna, who also had some curiosity, asked David to give them an explanation, so after Alice asked for the same thing, he nodded. At that time, David said, 「The best thing would be for us to talk somewhere else」, proposing to go to Takako's Bar, which was now in charge of him.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
