"That's it."

Although the broken Kumi can be restored with the help of slime, the other accompanying humans have probably gone to another world. The reason why Jinghua pursed her lips and lowered her head must be because of this.

"But isn't this place quite far from the Kingdom of Kumheim?"

An Jieni, who was sitting next to Jinghua, asked, and Jinghua shook his head.

"We can just find a random place to worship. Even if we go to the village right now, we won't be able to find the relics."

"Shall I go with Kagami-chan?"

"Eh? But I haven't decided where to go yet..."

"There's a good spot out in the city. I just found a spot with a great view with Xiao Shengan."

Why would you run to the suburbs?

Although she wanted to ask this, Ella held back.

"If it's about worship, are there any special customs in Ms. Kagamika's hometown?"

Because Jinghua comes from another world, Lotte asked this question.

"I think even if it's simpler, Kushi and the others won't blame me."

"In that case, I'll go prepare the fruit for the worship."

"Fruit?! No, there's no need for something so expensive. I'm already incredibly grateful for everyone allowing me to come along. If I owe you any more favors, I'll be at a loss as to what to do."

Jinghua waved her hands repeatedly, looking like she really didn't want to accept Luti's kindness.

"Then let me accompany Kagami-chan. I've encountered people trying to steal my wallet twice before, and I'm a little worried about letting Kagami-chan go out alone."

Perhaps it was because she met someone younger than her or because of her kind nature, but Angeline seemed quite concerned about Jinghua.

"I don't think I have anything on me that can be stolen... No, I should change into more ordinary clothes after all."

Jinghua first touched her pocket, then looked at the rose-red Gothic skirt she was wearing. The comfortable touch on her skin told Jinghua that this dress was not only exquisitely made, but also the fabric used was of a very high-end type.

"It originally belonged to Iris-senpai. When I woke up, I was wondering why she gave me this skirt that was obviously too small. Then, when I saw Kagami-chan in her room, I realized that Iris-senpai wanted me to give it to Kagami-chan to wear."

"No wonder I found myself wearing clothes after waking up... So it was Angelina, no, Miss Malbrune, who helped me change."

"Well, after all, Ella-chan never helps others change clothes, and Lotte-chan is in the room discussing important matters with Teacher Camisia, so I'll do it. Don't be fooled by my appearance, I'm actually quite knowledgeable about clothes, okay?"

While speaking, Angelini winked playfully. Of course, Angelini was not wrong. When she was first in the Holy Academy, Angelini liked these girlish things very much.

"Well, well, let's get out there quickly, or we'll miss lunch."

Very intimately, Angeline hugged Jinghua's shoulders. If Jinghua hadn't deliberately dodged, Angeline and Jinghua's faces would definitely have been touching.

Ella couldn't help but smile at Angeline's familiarity. After watching the two of them leave the room, she turned her head and fixed her gaze on Lotte and Fukagan.

"Am I going with Angelina and the others?"

"Well, Miss Fukagan and I will stay at the hotel to look after the luggage. The environment here is really not reassuring."

"People just looking for wind have come here four times."

Fukagan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, added.

Completely unaware that such a thing had ever happened, Ella could only let out a wry "Ahaha" laugh.

"Please, Lotte and Fukagan."

"It's okay even if it's past lunchtime. I'll prepare a separate meal."

"Ahh, we'll definitely be back before lunch."

Facing Lotte's clasped hands in assurance, Ella stepped back towards the wooden door and finally closed it behind her.

Just like yesterday, the town of Bahanla lacked any tall buildings and was lifeless. There were few sounds of hawking on the streets, but more quarrels and arguments. Coupled with the influx of refugees from outside the city and the soldiers temporarily assigned for patrol, it gave people a very chaotic feeling.

Looking vigilantly at the people passing by, Jinghua looked up at the sun - it felt like noon was approaching.

"I didn't notice before, but if I leave the city now, can I come back before sunset? It's very dangerous out in the suburbs at night."

"It doesn't matter. If we pay them secretly, they'll find another excuse to let us cut in line."

"When did Angeline learn such dirty tricks?"

"Xiao Shengan told me about it. When we were entering the city, the line was very long. Xiao Shengan didn't want to wait too long, so he used this method."

"Well, if it's Fukagan..."

Ella could probably imagine the scene at that time.

However, Jinghua was concerned about something else, and her beautiful red eyes were filled with worry.

"But I heard that the soldiers guarding the city are greedy guys. They will demand at least several copper coins before letting you pass."

"It's okay. Although most of the gold coins are with Ella-chan, I still have a few on me. I remember that this morning, Fuka-chan only gave us one silver coin to pass through. For the three of us, two silver coins are definitely enough."

"You don't even care about silver coins... Miss Angelini is indeed the daughter of an upper-class noble, right?"

Jinghua bit her lip and lowered her head, looking very inferior.

Angelica patted Jinghua's head.

"No, no, I'm just a slightly weird elf. Compared to little Ella, I'm nothing, okay?"

Angelica's words made Jinghua look at Ella, and then he couldn't help but look at Angelica.

"Compared to Ella...is Miss Angeline a warrior?"

"Just call me Angelica."

"but."

"Ah~ah, it's not like she's a maid like Lotte. That sounds weird."

"So—Angelina?"

Because he was not sure, Jinghua lowered his head awkwardly.

"Yeah, that's right. As for Kagami-chan's question, I'm a warrior. Because I'm a warrior, I'm a slightly unusual Pokémon. After all, Pokémons are all capable of using nature and support magic. There's only one Pokémon in the world like me who can learn melee combat techniques and even use the 'Berserk' spell."

Perhaps wanting to cheer up Jinghua, Angelini placed her hands in the shape of scissors next to her cheeks. Combined with her already cute appearance, it gave people the illusion that her chest was pierced by an arrow of love.

But this is also the current Angelini. In the past, Angelini would never openly show her uniqueness as an advantage. The reason why it developed like this is that after joining Ella's team, she had a real feeling in her heart that "she was playing a role", and "because she couldn't use auxiliary magic, she deserved to be ridiculed", this mentality has long been forgotten.

An Jieni's words made Jinghua nod thoughtfully, muttering to himself.

"So she's a warrior, right? That's equivalent to a guard, right? But why would a guard say a maid is of a higher status than him? Is Ella a special maid?"

For a moment, Jinghua's gaze towards Ella became strange. Whether it was the gossip circulating in this world or the content compiled in the comics of the original world, there had been such stories - not only taking care of the master in daily life, but also satisfying any needs of the master, including physiological needs. In this way, the identity of the maid became ambiguous, and it was natural that her status was higher than that of an ordinary guard.

"But we're all girls, why would we have that kind of need? Is this a forbidden love affair..."

With a puff, Jinghua's face turned red from neck to ears in an instant. If this were a comic, white smoke would definitely come out of his head.

"No, no, as a BL manga artist, how can you be so hesitant...hesitant...?"

If Ella knew what was going on in Jinghua's mind at this moment, she would definitely complain about Jinghua, saying that he was a BL cartoonist but would blush because of the love between girls. But unfortunately, Jinghua's voice was too low and his speech speed was frighteningly fast. Ella could only look at Jinghua who was talking to himself with a confused look.

"Kagami-ka?"

"Eh? Ah! I, I don't know anything!"

"I didn't ask anything."

"Well……"

"Isn't it because he hasn't fully recovered yet?"

Ella reached out to touch Jinghua's forehead, but Jinghua suddenly stepped back to avoid Ella's hand.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, E... Is Ella into girls?"

"Huh? You're asking that out of the blue?"

Ella couldn't help but raise her voice. It was true that she liked girls, but it was too much of a stretch for her to say it publicly on the street.

"If you don't deny it, then you admit it!"

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

"That's great... I wasn't forced by that blond noble."

As if she was really relieved for Ella, Jinghua patted her small chest and murmured.

Because of Jinghua's almost neurotic behavior, An Jieni tilted her head curiously.

"Are all people from another world like this?"

Ella immediately denied it with a serious expression.

“No, I think it’s individual differences.”

"Is that so... I don't know why Ella-chan is so sure, but it's surprisingly convincing. There's no sense of dissonance at all."

Angelica scratched her brown hair tied into two ponytails in confusion, and the three of them continued walking towards the city gate.

After a moment, Jinghua finally raised her red cheeks and timidly looked at Ella.

"Um, I have another question."

"Well, I'll tell Kagamika everything I can answer."

"Ella and that Miss Iris... who... who's the active one? While it's generally assumed that Miss Iris, the older sister, would take the lead, the younger generation's assertiveness is also quite intriguing—"

"——What's going on in Kagamika's head?!"

Although she was stunned for a long time, when Jinghua talked about initiative and toughness, Ella finally understood what Jinghua was talking about. She took out a paper fan from the storage and tapped Jinghua's head with it. However, Jinghua still maintained a strong desire for knowledge. He just held his head with his hands and asked questions with a gleam in his eyes.

"I, I just want to use it in the plot, nothing else!"

"I don't understand what Kagami-chan is talking about, but usually, Iris-senpai is the one who takes the initiative, right? That's wonderful! I also want to be held in the lap of a gentle lady like Iris-senpai."

Angelique replied, her index finger resting on her chin, her sapphire eyes filled with envy.

Jinghua nodded repeatedly as if to engrave Angelica's words in his mind.

"Yeah, it turns out to be this development. It must be a killer for those with a sister complex, but I still prefer the plot where the younger generation takes the initiative."

"Hey, hey, hey! Those two over there! What are you talking about?"

Angry and embarrassed, Ella grabbed Jinghua's face with both hands from behind, and Jinghua's lips suddenly became pouty like a goldfish.

Having escaped the disaster, Angelica looked away feeling a little guilty.

“Ah, ha, ha, just kidding… just kidding…”

"Oh, it hurts."

"The more you say that, the more I want to bully you. Damn it, I actually imagined something like that in my head."

Following Jinghua's words, Ella also imagined the scene in her mind - bang, her cheeks turned red, and in order to vent this shame, she pressed Jinghua's cheek with more force.

"It hurts! Angelica, help!"

"Eh? I don't know anything."

"Woo."

Although Jinghua looked like she was about to cry, in fact, Ella didn't use much strength at all. At best, she only used the medium level of strength that an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl could use.

Due to the unique and cheerful atmosphere here, pedestrians on the street turned their attention to Ella. Ella could only let go of her hands awkwardly and pretend to pat them casually.

"Anyway, the relationship between Iris and I is not what Jinghua imagined."

Jinghua lowered his head in admission of his mistake.

"Mmm, I understand, but why does Miss Lotte call Ella 'Miss Ella'?"

"Because Lotte is Ella-chan's personal maid."

"I see."

Do maids also need maids? Although Jinghua wanted to ask, it would expose her ignorance, so Jinghua just nodded as if she understood. She was only a newcomer who had just arrived in this world for a year. She didn't even have a complete understanding of the knowledge of the kingdoms, let alone the customs of other parts of the continent. Perhaps other races had the custom of high-ranking servants being served by low-ranking servants.

Just as Jinghua was thinking about how to ask about customs without hurting others, Ella suddenly pulled Jinghua into an alley. Along with her was Angelica, who didn't know what was going on but still followed Ella's instructions and hid in the alley.

Subconsciously, Jinghua raised his head.
