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

Inadvertently, Xia spread her palms to the side.

Xuefei just took a glance, then tacitly and naturally stretched out her hand and held Xia's hand.

The two of them held hands smoothly and walked along the street together like this, just like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Holding Xuefei's tender hand, Xiaya's tone of voice added a touch of ease and satisfaction.

"And Xia Ya, this is a good thing for you, right? Think about it, if it goes well, you might be able to do it with your original form.

Walking in the capital, openly and honestly, without having to hide anything, isn't this what we've been waiting for?"

"That being said... But in reality, it's not that simple... Some things can't be wiped out so easily."

"Yeah..."

"Yes."

The streets are filled with bustling street scenes. The residents of the royal capital can be so relaxed because there are no demons on this street. It's because they know that the demon princess has been sealed and will not cause trouble again.

If any demons came here, even if they had no ill intentions, I'm afraid everyone would immediately pack up their things and hide in their homes, not daring to come out.

The same situation applies to the demon clan.

In the streets and alleys over there, the demons also avoided human merchants, and there were even people patrolling the streets to drive them away.

This is the situation at the current stage. The phrase "fire and water cannot coexist" is quite appropriate when used to describe these two races.

Xiaya quietly looked at Xuefei's eyes, which were still shining with spiritual energy in the night.

Xia didn't want her eyes to be stained by darkness, so before the night invaded, Xia was willing to embrace the faint moonlight.

"it does not matter."

"Shia?"

"It won't work in a short time. Let's take our time. How about we regard this operation as the first step to help Xuefeiya Halder 'see the light of day again'?"

Xue Fei opened her eyes slightly, a little surprised by Xia Ya's words.

But only for a moment...

That strong little mouth suddenly filled with a lively smile!

"Okay! That's a good idea!" Xue Fei swung her arms back and forth, and also swung Xia's arms back and forth. "Hee... Then I have to see what the princess of your human race is capable of. I'll tell you in advance that Princess Xue Feiya is also very fierce! When Liv pulls over, don't think you can get away easily, you have to scare her anyway!"

"To scare her...?"

"Yeah, if I don't pretend to be tough, I'll be exposed. It's not just the human race that can't accept the demon race. It will take time for me, the demon race, to accept the human race!"

"I understand. Well... I'll listen to you. When the time comes, we'll scare Princess Livra severely."

"Okay! It's settled then."

"it is good."

Xuefei, you...you clearly said that you don't want to accept the human race.

But now, you are holding my hand tightly, okay?

The petite princess who was loved by everyone in the demon clan, however, endured many times more oppression, hatred and abuse than all the love she received in the kingdom.

This was the first time since Xia was born that she was so grateful for her identity as a human.

Because I am a human...I can say this with great pride - not all humans hate Xuefei, okay?

Just like me.

I am confident that I love you more than anyone else in the world.

But Xia will not be satisfied with this situation, because the ambition of a hero is huge.

"Xuefei, I hope that one day... the human race can cheer for you. Not for Xia Ya, but for Xuefeiya Halder."

"Wow! For a hero to say something like that, isn't that treason!"

These words were spoken quietly, a secret between Xue Feixia and her.

However, Shia, who was "suspected of treason", responded to the escaped Demon Princess in this way?

"No~ The hero protects the country, and Xialite loves Xuefei. They are both fulfilling their duties. There is no conflict between the two, right?"

"Huh?! Don't...don't ask me!"

"Shaya?"

"Hiss... You wait here for a while, I'll go buy... buy... Ah! Boss! Give me some grilled octopus tentacles! I want them to be really hot!"

"Okay! Want some chili, little girl?"

"No chili, ice!"

"what?"

As she was talking, Miss Xia Ya's face turned red. She suddenly looked left and right, then jumped to the stall to buy something.

Hmm...? I hadn't finished talking yet, why did Xue Fei suddenly run away?

Blockhead Xia may not know that there is a word like this.

——High attack and low defense.

Miss Xia Ya is usually very harsh with her words. She always manages to occupy the upper hand in words, making others feel ashamed and angry.

But at the same time, Xuefei can't resist the person she likes being nice to her!

Those words Xia said just now... made her little heart pound like the tentacles of an octopus roasting on the fire rack, curled up into a ball.

There's nothing else to say, it's mainly because this little princess's heart...is not as carefree as she appears.

But it is really delicate and sensitive.

When Miss Xia Ya came back with the grilled octopus tentacles in her trembling hands, she raised her hand and handed it to Xia.

There were still some water droplets on Xia Ya's face, as if she had just gone to the ice cream shop next door and grabbed a handful of ice cubes to cool down.

"As expected of me, I always come up with a clever idea in a hurry. Eat, Xia. Eating will help you keep your mouth shut and talk less!"

"Hmm... I didn't expect there would be a day when Xia Ya would say I talk too much. Mm... It's delicious, but eat less, it's time for dinner soon."

"Huh? Isn't it still early for dinner? The journey home will take at least an hour, shouldn't we eat something first?"

"You can go home and eat, but I'm worried that you're hungry now, Xia..."

Gugugu~~~

What little animal is crying?

Miss Xia Ya, who wanted to save face, covered her stomach with one hand, and at the same time raised the box of octopus tentacles with her right hand and poured them directly into her mouth, intending to stop the strange noise from continuing.

However, how could Xia Ya's bottomless appetite be satisfied by a small box of octopus tentacles?

Coo coo~~~

"!"

Xia lowered her head and looked towards Xuefei's belly.

This time Xuefei didn't have time to cover her stomach.

——She decided to free her hands first to cover her already faceless little face.

"Wow... don't look at me. I'm not a loser who gets hungry if I don't eat on time... I'm not..."

"Xia Ya... you have already expressed all the sad thoughts in your heart, right?"

"Damn hunger! It's the source of all evil in the world."

Princess Xuefia's continuous humiliation has made her lose all face in front of Xia.

He slowly moved his hands down from his face, and the spirit in his eyes had been largely lost.

But at this moment.

Xia suddenly offered a rather constructive suggestion.

"Actually, I was just thinking about this. It's too late to go home and cook now. How about I take you to find a tavern in the capital? By the way, Xia, you haven't tried the local dishes of the Kingdom of Orus, right?"

“Local cuisine... What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

"Shaya?!"

Xuefei, your steps were so smooth and uninterrupted that I was really caught off guard!

Is eating really more important than anything else?!

No way.

Eating also depends on who you are eating with and your mood at the time. Food tastes better when you are in a good mood.

Although Xuefei can find a good pub by smelling the food, Xia is a local after all, and she must be more familiar with this aspect, so it is safer to let her lead the way.

Xia led Xuefei through several streets based on her memory of the royal capital, explaining the reasons to her along the way.

"In fact, when it comes to fine food, the high-end restaurants in the capital that entertain nobles are better, but the ingredients I usually use to cook for you at home are no different from those in restaurants, or even better than those restaurants, so it's better to go home and cook for yourself than to eat there. But Xia, you should have never been to the local taverns in the capital, although I basically don't have time to eat there... Well, anyway, today is a rare opportunity, let's go and try it together."

"Authentic! Slurp... The essence of eating is to change your taste frequently. Xia, you understand it very well!"

"I don't know how to eat, I know you, little greedy cat."

"Hehe, you can say whatever you want. As long as I can eat, I don't care about shame!"

.......................................

Through Xia's own memories and asking street vendors about good pubs nearby.

Xia finally led Xuefei to a wooden tavern located in the middle of the street.

Unlike some pubs where there are pretty young ladies soliciting customers in front of the door, the store here only has a wooden sign in front of it, without any fancy things, which makes it more pleasing to the eye.

The pub was noisy, with the sounds of people banging on the table and talking and laughing loudly rising and falling.

The young lady in the tavern, who was holding two large wooden barrel wine glasses, passed by the door and saw the two people entering the house. She smiled and arranged for them to sit in a secluded corner. She asked them to write down the food they wanted on a piece of paper, and she would help take it to the chef in the kitchen at the back.

Judging from their attire, they don't look like ordinary people.

Sometimes, nobles dressed in gorgeous silks and satins would visit the tavern, and the tavern would just treat them well and not offend them. It was rare that business had been good recently, and no one wanted to cause trouble again.

Xuefei sat there, looking around with her big eyes wide open. Everything here was new to her.

The wooden building with a low top floor has a faint smell in the air.

The aroma of wine and food, as well as the worldly atmosphere, these things are things that the demon princess rarely comes into contact with.

But it's not all fun and harmless stuff here...

Xia noticed that most of the people dining here were merchants from the capital wearing coarse linen clothes, or human adventurers with machetes on their waists and scars all over their faces.

Most people still need to eat and drink.

But there were also people who glanced over here from time to time after Xue Feixia entered the house.

There was no way around it. Two stunningly beautiful girls walking into a pub like this would definitely attract attention.

But I'm sorry, Xia doesn't want their annoying gazes and discussions to affect Xuefei's mood for eating.

There was no movement in his hands, but a magic barrier that affected cognition quietly enveloped the area around the table and chairs where Xue Fei and himself were sitting.

It was at this moment that those sights became fewer and fewer until they disappeared.

With Xialet's strength, she can activate [Breath Isolation Barrier] and specify the target to be affected.

For example, the diners who are having dinner cannot pay attention to the situation on their side, but the staff responsible for serving the food can notice it.

From the perspective of the adventurers who were discussing whether or not to go over and chat, the existence of that row of tables suddenly became quite blurry, as if there was something there, but also nothing.

The two noble girls from before have probably left?

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity! If I could date a girl from a noble family, I would be rich and powerful for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't have to do such tiring work as an adventurer.

Xia also thoughtfully added a light layer of sound insulation to this barrier.

The sound was not completely blocked out, but the vulgar sounds of endless laughter and swearing were all blocked out.

In this cozy environment, poor Xuefei sat on the wooden chair, but her toes still couldn't touch the ground.

She thinks this design is very annoying!

"I just don't understand what the people who designed these chairs were thinking? Didn't they consider the feelings of short people?"
