The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

"Hey..."

"Sighing again?"

"No... I'm just reflecting on myself this time, don't get me wrong."

Looking at the table full of attack documents again...

Dizna began to doubt himself... Was there really something wrong with his previous family education that put too much pressure on Xuefia, causing her to choose to pack her bags and run away from home?

The Demon King expressed his deep concern.

"I don't know what's going on with Xue Feiya right now. I wonder if she's living on the streets in poverty!"

"Hey... If you can say something like that, it means you really don't understand our daughter. She makes others suffer, but she doesn't suffer herself."

"Can I be served with all kinds of delicacies when I run away from home?"

"What do you think."

23. Go out shopping!

“Haha! Xia, try this! Roasted bird legs from the Abis Mountains, and roasted mushrooms from the Abis Mountains! You would never have thought that there are also magic octopus tentacles from the Abis Strait here. Heaven, this street is simply heaven!”

Sheffield...

Xia knew that this was a bit of an exaggeration.

But when she saw Xuefei raising her hands high in approval of the food, Xia had every reason to suspect that if Xuefei was allowed to eat as much as she wanted, she would drive the species in the Abis area of ​​the lizard tribe's territory to extinction.

For the sake of species diversity and my not-so-rich wallet, Xuefei, please don't overeat, okay?

Xue Fei, who had changed into black hair, happily trotted to Xia.

She stood on tiptoe and passed the grilled octopus tentacles on a wooden skewer to Xia's mouth.

Actually, Xia doesn't like eating seafood very much.

But this was handed to me by Xuefei, so why not give it a try...?

Gently lifting the golden hair beside her profile, Xia slightly bent her legs and lowered her body, opened her little mouth and subtly put the octopus tentacles into it and chewed them slowly.

And then...a circle of light flashed in her deep blue eyes!

"Hmm...? This is really delicious!"

"Hehe, it's delicious, right? You have to trust my judgment. I know which snack shops on this street are delicious!"

"But Xuefei...you've only been out shopping for less than an hour..."

"Isn't one hour enough to explore the food? I'm just adapting to local customs!"

"Okay, okay~ I won't say much today. It's a rare trip for me, so just go ahead and explore. Buy whatever you want to eat, I'll pay."

"Yeah! Shia's wallet is the best... Ahem, Shia is the best!!"

"Xuefei, did you mean to say that my wallet is the best..."

"No...No! Absolutely not! You're only as good as your wallet!"

Xuefei handed the whole box of roasted magic octopus tentacles to Xiaya, and began to make a difficult promise by holding her little hand.

"Just... just splurge for once... I'll do the housework when I get home and repay Xia for spending money!"

"Come on, I've already told you, I can afford Xue Fei."

"You are so generous!"

And Xia doesn't dare to let Xuefei do housework anymore...

Thinking of going to the ice cave to save the horse when she went out, and the horse was frozen into an angry expression that was irreconcilable with Xuefei, Xiaya felt that asking Xuefei to do housework was absolutely equivalent to being a "homeless person".

As the name suggests, if you keep doing housework, your home will disappear.

With a wry smile, Xia took another bite of octopus tentacles and looked up to observe the situation on the street.

The city atmosphere of the royal capital of Cormyr, with street vendors, has gradually begun to revive as the war has entered a period of rest.

The once empty town streets were once again filled with horse-drawn carriages, and the townspeople, dressed in coarse linen or brocade silk, were either spending lavishly or bargaining with the vendors along the street to see if they could save the precious Aulus coins from the war.

I watched and watched, and I didn’t know when.

Xuefia, who was going to continue shopping with the Orus copper coins in her hand, stood back next to Xialet.

She held two big marshmallows in her hands and ate half of them in one bite with her little mouth.

"Hey Xuefei... Isn't one marshmallow worth one copper coin? I gave you one copper coin, so why did you bring back two marshmallows?"

"Ah? Oh, the old lady selling cotton candy over there said that I am lively and cheerful, and I am also greedy, and I eat more than her granddaughter, so she gave me an extra one. I can only say that the customs and habits of you humans are... really good!"

"Ha... I think it's probably just because Xuefei is cute enough to bring smiles to people's faces."

"No wonder, is this how all the bags came from?"

"!"

Unexpectedly, Xuefei had a big bag full of snacks hidden behind her back!

Xia looked up and found that almost all the simple vendors on the street were waving at Xuefei, with healing smiles on their faces as if they saw their granddaughter.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles...

If you want to go far without studying, you must be cute enough?

This scene was too eye-catching.

Xia slapped her forehead and quickly pulled Xuefei, who was still chewing marshmallows, away from the street.

"Eh...? Why are you leaving? There's a shop selling Luo Ming fish skewers over there and I haven't eaten them yet!"

"It's all because of your ability to adapt to the environment, Xue Fei...! It's too conspicuous to stay in one place, it's safer to walk around more."

"Don't worry, don't worry~ Hey, Xia, you always forget. Didn't we agree on this a long time ago? What should you call me outside?"

"Xue...Oh yes, I should call you, Xia Ya."

"That's right! My current identity is just an ordinary little girl from the human race, your friend, Xia Ya!"

"How can you be ordinary..."

Even if Xue Fei changed her silver hair to black hair, her appearance would be slightly different, but it could not hide her natural lively temperament and lovely face.

Xue Feiya wore a pure white dress today, which was completely different from her previous black Gothic dress style.

This is the clothes Xia wore when she was a child. When worn by Xuefei, she looks like a lively and lovely beauty - but a young version.

Hilarite, on the other hand, wore a long dress that did not show her figure very well and long brown leather boots.

If you didn't know that she was a hero, then at a glance, you would definitely judge that she was a daughter of a wealthy noble family with an unparalleled appearance.

Xia asked one more question just in case.

"Xue... Xia Ya, you only said that we are friends in the setting. The point is that I don't have many friends in normal times... Uh... What's that expression on your face?"

"Wow... Shia, you have no friends... How pitiful. It's okay. Strong people are always lonely. I can understand that."

"Please don't focus on such sad things! Please, I beg you!! I don't have friends because I'm too busy... It's definitely not because I can't make friends!"

"Ah, I understand, I understand~ It's Shia after all."

"!"

Shiaqi

Her face flushed, but she had no room to refute.

Because if you have no friends, you have no friends. No matter how much you say, you will only bring shame upon yourself.

Xue Feiya held the back of her head and continued to stroll forward, looking around at the vendors and humming a little tune in response.

"If you really encounter a situation, you can just adapt to it. Identity and other things can be explained. Compared to dealing with those nobles who petitioned to go to war every day when I was in the Demon King's Castle, this level of problem is nothing."

"It's hard to imagine what kind of life you've been living before..."

"Let's not talk about me first. It's you, Shia... As a hero, is it really okay for you to just walk down the street like this?"

"Not many ordinary people have seen me." Xia's eyes were also observing the surroundings at all times. "Even if they have seen me, they would not dare to recognize me."

As she spoke, Xia's tone gradually showed some helplessness.

"In this country's order, it would be useless for commoners to recognize nobles. Speaking out would only cause trouble for themselves. Especially during wartime, order is even more chaotic. Nobles are levying heavy taxes, and common people avoid them."

"Hey, the nobles in your country are quite arrogant, but not in the Demon Territory."

"Are the nobles over there kind?"

"No, the nobles there sometimes directly compete with the common people for food."

"..."

"But the noble who stole food and bullied the common people seemed to be beaten to death by the common people in the end. He deserved it."

"?!"

The people...are tough and sturdy?

That's the difference in culture.

The kingdom values ​​order, while the demons value order as well as the use of force.

As they were chatting, a slightly abrupt but pleasant sound like a silver bell suddenly rang out.

"Lady Xuefeiya is so beautiful! She looks good even in a different look!"

"Hahaha that's such a sweet talk! You can talk more... uh, who's talking?"

Xue Feiya heard the voice and looked at Xia Ya's waist...

——The holy sword [Silatra] was hidden in its scabbard with magic so as not to be conspicuous.

Others can't see it, but Xuefei can see the invisible blade.

Wow...the sword can talk, it's really a wonder!

"You're such a pervert... You can actually talk after entering a sword?"

"Yes, yes! We can talk a little when we wake up occasionally!"

"I should have left you at home earlier."

"Wow... I won't cause any trouble... I just want to remind Lady Xue Feiya that there seems to be only one store next to this street. Didn't you say you wanted to buy something? If you pass by it, there will be no store behind it."

Shop?

what store?

Upon hearing this, Xialet also looked up and glanced at the side.

I saw a young girl standing at the door of the store with a smile on her face, soliciting customers, and on the wooden door of the store were written the words "Underwear" in large letters in Orus.

Oh...Sister Siletra, you’re a good reminder!

We have to hurry...hurry up and buy Xuefei a set of underwear of her own.

Because every time Xia thought of this, she would feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Wow, to be honest, what Xuefei is wearing now... is still my underwear!

24. Approaching Sound

This intimate apparel store in the royal capital has strict regulations.

This shop is open to women only.

After all, its business scope only includes women's underwear.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, even when couples are shopping together, men must consciously stand outside the store and wait, and cannot step into the store even for a moment.

At first, Xue Feiya thought this rule was a bit strange. To put it bluntly, this is just a shop selling fabrics. Why make it like a secret place?

And until she followed Xia into the store as if nothing had happened...

The thought just now disappeared without a trace!

This place! Men must stop entering!!

Stop talking about them.

Even the innocent Xue Feiya couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands when she walked into the store.
