Chapter 822 Ah, Mr. Monkey...

"Hey, where are you? I didn't see anyone in that place just now."

A few days later, on the streets of the Kingdom of Besbania, Bai Hejing, who quietly left the palace after a simple change of clothes, was on the phone with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Ah~ I'm so sorry, little Chrissy~"

On the phone, Mine Fujiko's soft, coquettish voice came through.

"The little princess and I just returned to Besbania and it seemed like we were being followed. Now we are trying to get rid of those entangled people~"

Over there, you can still vaguely hear the roar of Fujiko Mine's motorcycle.

"I will contact you again after I take the little princess to a safe place. Don't be anxious, okay~"

"Can you speak more normally..."

The way Fujiko Mine spoke made Bai Hejing feel a little irritable inexplicably.

"Ah, don't you like it, little Chrissy? Obviously all those men like it..."

"I don't have the habit of listening to someone who looks like my mother act coquettishly."

"Hmm~ I see~ After hearing what you said, little Chrissy, I started to wonder what kind of person your mother is..."

"Don't take the topic too far and bring Her Royal Highness back quickly. I can't help but doubt your business ability."

"I know~Wait for my call~Mom~"

Goosebumps appeared all over her body, and Bai Hejing quickly hung up the phone.

[This woman... is really difficult to deal with...]

Although she didn't have much communication with Mine Fujiko, every time she had a conversation with her, this woman would make her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, with a helpless feeling like a punch on cotton.

[I hope she can bring Her Royal Highness back soon...]

Bai Hejing sighed softly.

After returning to the Kingdom of Besbania first, she had been staying in the palace disguised as Princess Mira for the past two days. She sneaked out today precisely because she received the news from Fujiko Mine that she had brought the real Princess Mira with her. Princess Mira returns to the Kingdom of Besbania.

According to the plan, the two should meet in private, not only to confirm the princess's situation, but also to discuss the future action plan.

As a result, she came out, but Mine Fujiko killed her because she was followed by some killers...

[No choice, just wait a little longer...I'm thirsty. 】

Thinking like this, Bai Hejing walked towards the vending machine on the roadside in front.

"Huh? Strange? What's going on?"

In front of the vending machine, a man wearing a red suit, with long arms and legs and long hair was standing.

Just looking at the back, Bai Hejing could vaguely feel that the man looked familiar.

The man didn't notice Bai Hejing who was gradually approaching behind him. Instead, he tilted his body and kept moving his fingers crazily on the vending machine buttons.

"Hello? What's wrong? Coke? Come out, my Coke? I paid for it! What does this mean?!"

The hairy man gradually became irritable. After frantically clicking and flapping his palms failed, he seemed to suddenly understand something. He took two steps back, raised his finger and pointed at the vending machine in front of him, and nodded.

"Okay, okay, this is it, right? Then you asked for this?"

"Watch the trick! One of the secret points on the meridian! A point where you can spit it out! Hit it!"

The man suddenly made a weird posture and slapped his palm somewhere on the vending machine. There was a "crash" sound, and countless coins and canned drinks poured out from the exit below the vending machine. All over the floor.

The hairy man was very satisfied with this. He squatted directly on the ground and began to quickly pick up coins and drinks on the ground.

"Ahaha! It's true! You don't have to be so polite~ You even gave me a tip! Hahaha...huh?"

Finally, the man seemed to notice Bai Hejing standing quietly behind him, and looked back.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Hejing finally remembered why she felt that the weird and funny man in front of her looked familiar.

"Ah, Mr. Monkey..." Yes, the man in front of her was the man Gin called "Monkey" when she and Gin first came to the Kingdom of Besbania.

I really didn't expect to see him here again.

"It's not a monkey!"

Hearing her subconscious name, the man instantly became furious.

"I am Lupine the Third! I am the super thief who runs rampant in the world!"

"Sorry, I haven't heard this name before..."

"Huh?! Really or not?! You little girl is too ignorant, right?!

By the way, why are you here, girl? Shouldn't you..."

"What should I do?" Bai Hejing was confused by his question.

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I just didn't expect to see a little girl like you after so many days. I feel a little surprised, haha..."

"Thank you, please give way."

Instead of arguing with Lupine III on this issue, Bai Hejing, who was already thirsty, walked around him, walked up and threw a coin into the vending machine, and then chose a can of fruit drink. This time, the vending machine was very He spit out the drink happily.

"Mr. Lupine, you can't just steal things."

Bending down to pick up his own drink can, Shirakawa Shizuo and Lupine III, who was still squatting on the ground with a pile of drink cans in his clothes, looked at each other and suddenly said.

"what?"

After hearing her words, Lupine III suddenly became a little dissatisfied.

"Don't say it so harshly, little girl, have I paid properly?"

"I only saw the money for one bottle." Bai Hejing opened the drink can in his hand and took a sip.

"What does it matter~ This guy vomited these to me himself~ Hehe~ And these tips~"

As he said that, Lupine III picked up the money a little faster.

"Well, Mr. Lupine doesn't look like a bad person, but he would do such a thing..."

"That really disappoints you, I'm a super bad thief?"

"That's really regrettable..."

Feeling that the drink tasted pretty good, Bai Hejing paid for another can and turned around to leave.

"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Lupine."

"Hey, is one bottle enough? Get more, it's free~ Come on and be my accomplice friend~"

Behind him, Lupine III said with a smile.

"It's wrong to steal things." Bai Hejing walked away without looking back.

"What, you stinky little girl..."

Lupine III looked at her back and curled his lips.

"You can't make friends like this..."

As he said that, he didn't take any more coins or drink cans. He just took two bottles from them, got up and walked in the opposite direction.

However, not long after he walked out, he suddenly turned around again, ran back in a flash, threw another coin into the pile of coins on the ground, and at the same time shouted loudly towards Bai Hejing's back in the distance:

"See clearly! I also paid for two bottles!"

Then he left with satisfaction.
