Night.
After all the commotion, Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and even Darkness dragged their exhausted bodies back to their rooms to rest.
Though Darkness kept insisting...
"Lady Alice, if you cannot sleep in an unfamiliar environment, please allow me to attend you at your side."
In other words, if Alice was afraid to sleep alone, Darkness could sleep with her.
That approach, which completely treated Alice like a child, made Alice rather embarrassed.
"I... I can sleep by myself!"
Perhaps because she was not in the royal castle but could live in an ordinary mansion, Alice had revealed a little childishness appropriate for her age.
So, Alice was eagerly looking forward to life here with happiness, delight, and anticipation.
If a bird in a cage were set free, it would probably feel the same way Alice did, wouldn't it?
That made Fang Li somewhat glad that he had kept this child here.
Thus, after arranging a room for Alice and sending Darkness back despite her repeated cries of, "How can a princess of a nation sleep without any guards while completely defenseless?", Fang Li returned to his own room to rest.
"I thought I would be completely free after the bounty mission ended, but it seems life in this world still cannot be peaceful."
Lying on his bed, Fang Li counted the items in the Fairy's Cloth Bag as he sighed.
It had been nearly a month since he returned to this world.
"Kazuma's products are being developed smoothly. Before long, we should be able to trade with Vanir and start selling them. The Crimson Demon Clan's items are also continuously being made, and we trade for a batch every so often. At this rate, by the time I leave this world, I'll probably have an unimaginable number of items, right?"
