Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

"Sister has always loved cute clothes and accessories."

Rose smiled and hugged Lucy.

"Rose, you're different too."

Lucy complained with a blushing face.

"I'm not denying it, sister."

"Well, it's a shame there are no cameras in this world."

"What's a camera?"

"It's a tool that can record what you see."

"Hey, that sounds interesting."

"Alas, it's such a shame I can't take a picture of you two looking like this."

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Lucy looked at Xiao's smirk and knew that he was definitely not thinking about anything serious.

"What can I think of? And you two should hurry up a little."

"Feel sorry…"

"I got it."

After the three of them arrived at the city hall, they immediately felt strange gazes.

City Hall staff didn't seem to like them.

"What do these guys mean?"

Lucy muttered unhappily as she watched the two clerical workers whispering to each other.

Thanks to the elves' excellent hearing, Lucy heard all the civil servants' disparagement of them.

"Sister, shh!"

Rose made a cute gesture, asking Lucy to keep her voice down.

She was a little worried that her sister would cause trouble for Xiao.

"It seems these guys look down on young adventurers."

Xiao looked at the tags around Lucy and Rose's necks and sighed helplessly.

Even though these city hall staff members were not of high status, most of them were of aristocratic origin.

They looked down upon the lowly profession of adventurer.

Not to mention a few F-grade kids.

"What brings you guys to the City Hall?"

A fat and pig-brained man who looked like a dress supervisor questioned Xiao.

When the man saw Lucy and Rose beside Xiao, his gaze became much more obscene.

This guy is really...

Chapter 13 Bonus cannot be redeemed

"We are here to redeem our reward for defeating the bandit gang."

"Huh, how could you little brats possibly..."

When Xiao spread the certificate in front of the man, the man paused.

"This certificate may be forged. Please hand it over to me for verification immediately."

The man shouted at Xiao.

"Oh, you said it was fabricated evidence?"

"How can a little brat like you possibly handle those thieves?

Give me your credentials for verification, or I'll lock you up."

【I was really underestimated.】

"Pfft! Do you have the authority?"

Xiao couldn't help but laugh at the man's low-level deception.

"What do you mean by this? Are you insulting me?!"

"Are you qualified? If you wanted to verify it, why didn't you ask me to bring Captain Ed here, instead of verifying it yourself?"

"You are such a bastard, man."

Lucy now understood the man's plan.

He simply wanted to obtain the certificate of conquest and keep the prize money for himself.

"Come here, arrest these rude guys."

"Alas, if you lose, you just cheat. Unfortunately..."

Xiao smiled at the approaching group of guards.

"Baron Gracey, what can I do for you?"

"Hey, Ed, what are you doing..."

"We finished the mission ahead of schedule yesterday and returned to City Hall today to be on alert."

Ed looked at Gracie and answered in a cold tone.

"Gracie? Why does it sound familiar?"

"Brother Xiao, the man you sold yesterday seemed to have said this."

Rose stood on tiptoe and whispered the explanation in Xiao's ear.

"Oh, it turns out it's him."

"Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"

"Oh, I came to exchange this."

Xiao smiled and waved the voucher.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Missy isn't at the City Hall today, so I can't redeem the prize money."

Ed explained with great guilt.

"Well, let's come back another day. Thank you."

"It doesn't matter."

"Oh, by the way. Baron Gracey, I hope you can still show this gesture next time we meet."

Xiao looked at Gracie's indignant expression and smiled slightly.

"What do you mean by this?!"

"Come on, I'll buy you two a few more outfits today."

Xiao ignored Gracie and left the city hall with Lucy and Rose in his arms.

"Is there nothing wrong with that Xiao brother, the man named Grace?"

Rose asked Xiao anxiously.

When the three of them left, Grace clearly didn't look like she would give up.

She was worried that Grace was secretly doing something to harm them.

"Don't worry, leave that matter to me."

Xiao rubbed Rose's head to comfort her.

"What are you going to do? You can't possibly assassinate him, right?"

Lucy looked at Xiao in confusion.

"That would be so boring."

"Bored? Then what do you want to do?"

"Wouldn't it be more interesting to see his expression of regret and despair?"

"You are such a..."

Lucy looked at Xiao's evil smile and complained with some disgust.

"These are not things you need to worry about. Come on in."

Xiao pushed the two of them into a shop nearby.

"Welcome, oh, it's the boy from yesterday."

The shop assistant greeted Xiao very warmly.

"Hello, could you please make some custom clothes for these two girls today?"

"Oh, so cute!"

"Eh!"

"That, that."

Lucy and Rose looked at a loss when they were suddenly hugged by a stranger.

"Ahem, that saleslady?"

"Oh, excuse me. What style would you like?"

Looking at the clerk's smirk, Xiao recalled what happened yesterday.

"Shouldn't we ask them about this?"

"Is it the contrasting cuteness of that mature style, or the simple cute style?"

The shop assistant completely ignored Xiao's words and continued talking to herself.

[Ah, this lady seems to be a troublesome type.]

"What do you two think and want?"

Xiao decisively threw the question to Lucy and Rose.

"Well, let's go for something more mature then."

Rose glanced at Xiao and answered shyly with a blushing face.

"abnormal."

Lucy cursed Xiao with an unhappy look on her face.

"That's it. I'll trouble you from now on."

"Ok!"

Akatsuki sighed as the clerk excitedly pulled Lucy and Rose to the back.

【What should I say? Come on, you two. 】

Even through the wall, Akatsuki could hear Lucy and Rose's various exclamations and screams.

“When will the clothes be ready?”

Watching Lucy and Rose come out from the back with red faces.

It's not hard to imagine what they went through when they were measured.

"Now!"

The salesgirl answered without hesitation.

"Eh?"
