Chris's Faith of Fire

I wanted to go up and slap him, but as soon as I was about to get out of bed, I realized that I was still naked.

"K, Chris! If that's what you mean...please give me some time to prepare..."

"roll!!!"

"Elements of Everything" beside the pillow hit the boy's forehead with a perfect parabola.

This is probably the most accurate throw I've ever made.

Chapter 38 38. Sipping alone——2

"Ah, Your Highness! It's not easy to find you."

I was very angry because of Fami's rudeness, but I realized that it was too childish to be angry like this, so I didn't cancel today's trip and just asked Fami to wait in the lobby outside.

I was so angry that I couldn't vent my resentment. As soon as I walked out of the door, someone called me from behind.

"Mr. Crowe?"

This intellectual young man with curly hair and glasses is my technical advisor, Crow Siglo.

In fact, he just helps to make things and find materials... It's similar to Alfred in Batman, well, I'm not that close to him. Crow's position is the civil servant of the Royal City Society, and he's often been replaced within a year. I was promoted to clerk, so my work became much busier.

I haven't had much communication with him recently, mainly because I don't want to get in other people's way.

Because he is also my maid-Sophie's boyfriend.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Chris... huh? You seem to be in a bad mood today?"

"Ah, it's nothing, but Mr. Crowe, what can I do for you?"

I am indeed in a bad mood, but I won't say it in front of others. This is probably the reserve of girls.

"I heard that His Highness is going out today."

"good."

After hearing my answer, he nodded and raised his index finger.

"Your Highness, I heard from the head maid that you are going out. I always feel that Your Highness has been out a lot this year. Ah, I talk too much, but I have to be careful lately."

"Do you also want to say that there are more monsters? I already know about this."

"Your Highness...the increase in monsters is not the most terrifying thing, but the fact that we discovered an organization of devil worshipers in the city."

"Devil worshipper?"

"Yes, those are weird people who advocate dark magic and want to bring the demons into reality. I'm wondering if the incident a year ago is related to this matter."

The incident a year ago?I immediately remembered the incident with the Flame Lizard.

I looked at the ring given to me by Noelle on my ring finger. Is this also done by a devil worshipper?

In other words, are there devil worshipers among those who betrayed me?Then the clown's strange behavior gradually became clear.

But why choose me?It is correct that Noelle and Sylvie were just involved.

"I'll be careful, thank you, Mr. Crow."

I nodded to him, thanked him slightly, and left.

You really can't stand if you're not careful.

◆ ◇

In the afternoon I asked Fami to take the sword to the streets below the city.

First, we went to the clothing store "Cang Yue in the Night".

"So, it's very annoying!"

I just took off the dress I had just tried on and carefully handed it back to the blonde fairy who was standing aside waiting for me to try on my dress.

She smiled, nodded, took the dress, and handed me the next piece.

"For a boy of Fami's age, there is a higher possibility that he may offend Her Royal Highness on purpose... However, it's not a big deal. Why don't you feel a little happy? Your Highness Chrissy, hehe. .”

"That's not the case!"

"Oh, but girls usually don't say anything when they are really angry. Telling me this shows that you are still a little shy, right? Haha~~"

Although the smile of the voluptuous blonde girl is as warm as the sun, every time she speaks, there is always a hint of bullying.After telling her that Fami had seen her naked body just now, she burst into laughter and seemed not to take it seriously at all.The shyness that came up from the bottom of my heart turned into a fuss under her soft voice.

"That's...that's not the case. It's just that I rarely saw people of my age in the palace before, so I realized it all of a sudden..."

I looked at the black-haired boy standing outside the store with his back to us. Although he was still a child, he was much more mature than a year ago.Even when Sister Angela mentioned him, she changed from worry at the beginning to a playful and friendly tone.

Angela, the proprietress of the clothing store "Blue Moon in the Night", is a young and intellectual beauty. She is indeed so on the surface, but she has a son who runs a gem enchantment shop. His age seems to be in the middle and late stages of youth... So how old is this person?

"Little Chris, do you want to ask something with this expression?"

"No... nothing."

His eyes narrowed to a slit, and even his name for me suddenly changed.I seemed to sense a trace of murderous intent in the words, and I shook my head hastily.

"That's it. Because I felt a little uneasy just now, I almost inserted the long needle that fixes clothes into the next piece of clothing I was trying on, hehe."

Angela blinked and showed a naughty smile.

"Be careful, this is not something that can be brushed off with 'hee hee'!"

It was scary, I almost got pricked by a needle.

All in all, she is a beauty who is sometimes very creepy. It is said that she is still a widow. She once had three husbands, but all of them died young. She is still recruiting lovers. I hope she can find a suitable partner soon.I also hope that the happy man can bear her heavy love like old wine.

However, I like the clothes in her store very much, and I have become more free to move around recently, so I go out to buy and try on clothes whenever I have time. Therefore, I also talk to Angela, the store manager, and her son, Mr. Free Interlander. became friends.

"Your Highness, do you still need to try it on?"

"No, I already have enough suits. I will buy them today...well, this, this, and this hat~~"

"Thank you very much. The total is 2400 April."

Angela said as she carefully folded the selected clothes and put them into the cloth bag as usual.

"Fami, you can come in."

I usually keep my wallet on Fami. Although he has a history of stealing my wallet, he probably won't do that kind of thing after what happened. After that, he served as my attendant. .Now I trust him more than Sophie, and I allow him to call me by my first name when we are alone.

"Buying so many clothes again... 2400 April, does that mean you can spend it with flowers?"

Fami's eyes widened when he saw me pointing at the paper bag and asking him to pay.

"Luosuo, you are my mother."

"Damnable... noble..."

With an expression of reluctance, Fami took out two fire gold coins and a gold coin from his purse.

Although the painting was still about my own money, I felt relieved when I saw him like this, and I was completely relieved about being seen naked before.

"Come again next time, little Chrissy."

Facing Angela who was smiling and waving us out of the store, Fami put on a bad face and left quickly with a cloth bag filled with clothes and accessories.

◆ ◇

"Chris, how much did you contribute to that store's sales?"

Walking on Central Avenue with Fami, we plan to go to Mr. Free's shop later.

Fami still had that unpleasant face, and even though he was born in a slum, he still seemed to be very concerned about my extravagant consumption.

"Not much...at least not enough to attract onee-sama's attention."

"Ten thousand Aprils don't attract attention, what a rotten life this is."

"What kind of corruption? It's just buying some clothes, and Miss Angela's son, Mr. Free, has been a great help to you."

It sounded like I had done something shameful.

"One size fits the bill! It's too expensive no matter what. That store... there are almost no products with a unit price of less than 500 April."

“But the texture and design are very good, and it’s worth the money.”

"I really don't understand. Don't the clothes just look good? Why do girls spend so much money on clothes that are not necessary? There are obviously a lot of clothes that have never been worn."

Although it sounds uncomfortable, Fami is telling the truth. Indeed, I have only worn [-]% of the clothes in my wardrobe once or not at all.

But I just want to buy it. Isn’t it normal to want to buy beautiful clothes when you see them?

Just like when I was a boy, I bought a lot of games even though I never put them in the disc bin.This must be the same psychology, right?

It's a pity that there are no games in this world, and I couldn't find a suitable example to explain to Fami.

"If you want to buy it, just buy it. Girls will be beautiful if they have nice clothes to wear."

I puffed up my cheeks and pointed at Fami with one finger.

"What, even if I don't buy so many Kriss, she's still pretty enough..."

"Eh?"

"nothing……"

This guy said something unexpectedly, and his voice was too low for me to hear clearly.

"Don't half-talk! It's exciting!"

"If you don't want to say it, you just don't want to say it!"

"What! That's why you are not popular with girls."

"Hmph, I don't want to be popular with them."

"Boys who have this rebellious thought of 'Girls are stupid, I don't want to date them' will easily be alone in the future! It will be too late to regret by then."

"I don't think so. I have someone I like, and you didn't notice anything at all!"

Fami became very angry and glared at me with furrowed black eyebrows.

Did it hurt his self-esteem?

Is there such a person?I actually didn't even notice it...

Who is he? I remember that he didn't interact with the maids much.

After that, Fami kept looking over here from time to time, and I kept thinking about who the unlucky girl Fami was attracted to was.

It was in this strange atmosphere that we arrived at Mr. Free's shop.

"Fami...brother?"

A little boy who looked to be about five or six years old poked his head out of the window of the workshop.

"Hi, Ollie~~How are you going as an apprentice under Mr. Free?"

I waved hello to him, and when Ollie saw it he hurried out and bowed to me.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness..."

Some of the answers are wrong, well, forget it.

He was so timid every time he saw me, and seemed very uneasy.Maybe it was because he left a bad impression when he was captured in the castle.

"Stop being so scared! Ollie, boys, straighten your back! Like this."

Fami, who was following me, frowned and walked forward and patted his sworn brother's thin back. He was obviously a little thief before, but he was very concerned about boys' manners and other things.Perhaps it was for this reason that I trained him as a servant.

"What happened? Did you do what I told you? Ollie... Ollie?"

A young man with blond hair walked out of the dark workshop.

The blond hair parted on the side and the beard on his chin make him look much more stable, but this man is actually only in his 20s.

His dark shirt was half open to reveal his strong abdominal muscles, and his trousers were hung with various tools as if to tell his identity as a craftsman.

This man is none other than Free Interland, Miss Angela's biological son...a half-elf whose blood is biased towards humans.

"Hello, Mr. Free..."

"Princess, Princess... No, Miss Chrissy! You really missed me." The young man hurriedly saluted, although the left hand that I didn't know where to put clearly told me that he was not good at this kind of thing.

After the incident of punishing Fami, I helped them and the people in the slums with a guilty feeling. In addition to improving public order, the most I did was probably find employment.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. The biggest reason for keeping Fami by my side is because I was mainly responsible for causing him to be stabbed by a spear at that time. I would feel uneasy if I dismissed him casually. But it is impossible for everyone to serve in the palace like Fami.In fact, not to mention the palace, even ordinary stores are unwilling to accept people born in the slums. After all, their hands and feet are not clean and they cannot receive customers. They have a bad image and most importantly, they don't even have any skills.
