The two quickly finished discussing, and Darkness, who had been following them, also smiled and said:
"Is Your Highness going back? Indeed, it's not a good thing for Your Highness to be outside for a long time, but since Your Highness is going back, there doesn't seem to be any need for me to stay here."
"Roa, give me a ride too?"
Darkness said to Roa like this.
Roa glanced at Darkness and shook his head helplessly, "Darkness, you're too heavy, the wind element can't carry you."
The smile on Darkness's face froze, and then she blushed and said, "What do you mean I'm too heavy? Hey, Roa, you're too rude, aren't you?"
Roa was too lazy to argue with Darkness and said directly, "You should just stay here honestly and take a vacation for yourself."
In the next moment, the wind element directly gathered around Roa and Iris.
An invisible airflow wrapped around the two of them. Roa said goodbye to everyone, and under everyone's surprised gazes, they saw the two of them slowly rising from the ground into the air, and then quickly preparing to fly away into the distance.
Megumin was stunned, and then her stunned expression turned into envy.
"That's great, to be able to speed through the sky. No, Roa, take me with you too, take me for a spin, and then I'll come back with you."
Megumin shouted loudly at Roa in the sky.
However, what responded to Megumin was Roa's indifferent voice.
"You should stay with Darkness too, lest she do something that damages my reputation."
After speaking, he sped away into the distance without looking back.
Leaving behind a dazed Megumin.
Megumin's eyes were hollow and said, "How, how could this be? Such a cool thing and he didn't take me with him…"
Megumin seemed a little unable to accept it, and then glared fiercely at Darkness and said, "It's all your fault." After speaking, she went up to start a fight with Darkness, and then was directly suppressed by Darkness.
"Don't make trouble."
The two began their daily bickering.
…
Girls' thoughts are always a little sentimental. Although Iris hasn't reached that age yet, there was an obvious unhappy expression on her face.
As for why she was unhappy, it was naturally because Roa had stood her up.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. He was preparing to go back to the Mushoku Tensei world to deal with the troublesome things that followed, and he was idle in the middle anyway.
And honestly, he was already a little wanting to let the plot of this world continue to develop.
Roa had already done enough, and the original team had improved even faster.
The members had also become quite reliable. Whether it was Iris or Yunyun, they were both very strong experts. In addition, with Megumin and Aqua, they had completely made up for each other's shortcomings, and there was no problem at all.
In theory, there would be no problem even if he left it alone.
But now, Iris had been in contact with him a little too much, and the future hero seemed to want to stay by his side even more, and she wouldn't hesitate to do some irresponsible things for this.
Iris's trust in him certainly made Roa feel very gratified, but Iris could be willful, and he couldn't indulge Iris's willfulness.
Iris was Iris, and he couldn't let Iris become a second Eris.
So he still made this choice.
The feeling of floating in the sky for the first time was certainly novel. Floating in the sky, looking down from above, you could see scenes that you had never seen before.
Those buildings that usually looked very large were completely small dots when viewed from above. The difference between the small dots might just be that some were larger and some were smaller.
If it was the Iris of the past, she might have jumped up happily and enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above.
But now, she didn't have that mood.
The howling wind blowing against Iris's face, the two were moving at an extraordinary speed, and the wind was naturally unavoidable.
For ordinary people, the wind might sting their faces, but for Iris, the wind was just a little stronger.
Iris finally asked, "Roa, we'll be able to meet again next time, right?"
"Of course." Roa's expression was very calm, and his tone was also very calm.
The wind blew Roa's hair, but Roa didn't care about such small things.
However, Roa's plain tone and affirmative words couldn't dispel the unease in the girl's heart, and she still asked with some worry, "Really?"
This time it was Roa's turn to be surprised.
He turned his head to look at Iris, and Iris showed a smile, a smile that was still innocent, but it looked a little forced no matter how you looked at it.
"Naturally."
Roa slowed down his flight speed, so that the journey wouldn't be so fast.
Roa felt that he had underestimated his importance to the girl.
Seeming to feel that just saying such a sentence wasn't enough, he reached out and took out the necklace around his neck.
It was still the simple rope, with a ring hanging below the rope.
The simple ring was quietly tied with the rope.
Roa shook the ring around his neck and smiled, "After all, don't we still have a promise?"
Looking at the ring, the girl's disappointment disappeared instantly, and the inexplicable emotion in her heart disappeared for the most part. Iris's eyes were shining brightly.
She looked at Roa, met his pair of light golden eyes, and Iris nodded very seriously, "If it's Brother, he will definitely not lie to me."
Speaking of this, she laughed, and this time the smile was no longer so forced.
Iris's smile was very beautiful, and only a child with a simple and kind personality like Iris could smile such a pure smile.
Iris's worries disappeared.
Roa didn't rush on his way either, and spent some time sending Iris to the city closest to the town.
Standing outside the city gate, the girl showed a sweet smile. She had returned to her previous state and was no longer sad about Roa's departure.
"We've arrived, Iris."
"Yeah."
Iris wasn't in a hurry to enter the city. Her eyes were fixed on Roa, a hint of slyness in her gaze.
Iris coughed lightly a few times, then looked up at Roa and said, "Since it's a farewell, I naturally have some private words I want to say to you."
Roa was taken aback. This situation seemed familiar.
Instinctively, he felt a bad premonition.
But who could refuse such a beautiful girl?
Moreover, strictly speaking, this situation was happening suddenly because of him.
So, although Roa felt a bit uneasy, he still leaned down, bringing his line of sight level with Iris's.
However, the moment Roa squatted down, Iris leaned in directly.
A soft sensation flashed by, a warm feeling coming from his lips.
By the time Roa came to his senses, Iris had already run two or three steps away.
Iris's cheeks were flushed, but her lips held that lingering sly smile. She jogged a few steps, stood at the city gate, and said with a smile, "Remember our promise."
After saying that, she dashed into the city gate.
Roa stood up, a wry smile on his face.
He remembered this scene; wasn't it what Eris had done?
Watching her departing figure until it disappeared from sight, Roa slowly walked towards the distance.
"It's time to leave this world for a while."
Only two hours had passed before Roa crossed two regions and arrived at the Crimson Demon Village.
Roa had the artifact called Fairy's Pocket hanging on his waist. When this artifact was hung on Roa's waist, it instantly transformed from its original dirty appearance into an ordinary bag. After all, as an artifact, it couldn't really be as cheap as it appeared.
He found Hiropon and gave him the remaining 450 million Eris. Under Hiropon's delighted gaze, Roa left Hiropon's house.
Roa found Megumin and Darkness, telling them that he might be leaving for a month. They could either stay here or return to the town; in any case, there was a carriage waiting outside.
This was also a way of saying goodbye. After speaking, he strode away.
However, as Roa left, he headed towards the Demon King's Castle.
He planned to see what the situation was at the Demon King's Castle before leaving.
Soon, a typical medieval-style, huge castle stood before him, with several minotaurs standing outside, exuding a fierce aura.
Their strength was decent. Roa glanced at them a few times and didn't pay much more attention.
The Demon King's Castle was enveloped in a faint layer of light.
It was a barrier.
This barrier could withstand anyone who came to attack, preventing anyone from entering the castle unless the Seven Generals fell; otherwise, this barrier would not dissipate.
This was an even more powerful barrier than the Destroyer's fortress.
Because it came from the Demon King's hand.
Roa hesitated for a moment, then used the Lurk skill. With max-level Lurk and the Transparent World buff, Roa almost walked past openly, and the two minotaurs didn't notice anything.
Roa stood beside the barrier and stretched out his left hand. When his finger touched the barrier, an invisible wall blocked Roa's exploration.
Roa wasn't surprised by this result. The ring on his left hand emitted light, and magic power was injected into it.
As Roa continued to inject magic power, the ring called Traveler's Fantasy began to emit strange power.
Invisible energy was constantly eroding the barrier. As the magic power increased, the degree of erosion of the barrier intensified, and Roa's outstretched hand was no longer blocked by the air barrier.
Roa took a step, and his entire body stepped directly into the legendary Demon King's Castle.
