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

"No, what are we trying to achieve? Ah! Xia Ya, you...you come down!"

“No!”

Now what should I do?

Xuefei stood on the chair, raised her hands high, her face flushed, but this was not the point.

The point is...she had a hazy and dizzy smirk on her face, and a terrifying magical power gathered in her hands...!

The magical power contained in it made Xia feel that she could blow up half of the capital!

"Wow, my little ancestor, please stop making trouble! Let's discuss something... Ugh."

Don't say it.

She really stopped making trouble.

The magic particles in Xue Fei's hands scattered like starlight, and her eyes, which were surrounded by magic power, suddenly looked dazed.

Just when Xia didn't know what was going on...

The little guy suddenly let out a cute and soft burp.

My calves went soft and I fell backwards towards the back of the chair, as if I were throwing myself into a sea of ​​freedom and indulgence, free and carefree!

"Xuefei...!"

Xia reacted quickly, leaned forward, and held Xuefei firmly in her arms the moment she landed.

Xuefia's head fell on two soft marshmallows, and the wonderful echo of Buling Buling echoed in her mind. This comfortable feeling helped her drunken sleep become more peaceful.

Burp~ I drank too much, it’s time to take a break.

Now that Xuefei had calmed down, Xia had the opportunity to lean over and check on her condition.

Um... no problem.

It looked like she was asleep.

There was a comfortable rosy red on his little face, and he was still smacking his lips even in his sleep. Maybe he didn't eat enough, so he was still gnawing on roast duck legs in his dream.

Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

——And silently listed "alcohol" in her heart as a terrible existence that Xue Fei was forbidden to approach!

Xuefei...you really can't drink much!

Even if the drink was served wrong, you only took a few sips of that barrel wine, and you got so drunk...

Come to think of it, the king didn't really experience a life-or-death moment just now, did he? !

As Xia gradually relaxed, she heard someone running quickly towards the [Perception Shielding Barrier].

Xia looked up quickly, her eyes sharp, ready to protect Xuefei.

But when she turned around, she saw that the person running towards her was none other than Timani, who had taken off the hood of her brown robe and had an expression of disbelief on her face.

Looking behind her, the proprietress was now nowhere to be seen and the pub was empty.

The lady boss could no longer remain calm after seeing the situation. She hurried out to seek help from the Knights of the Kingdom - even if the Knights heard her description, they would definitely not believe it. At most, they would come to deal with the adventurers who were fighting.

Dimani stepped into the barrier, but the panic on her face still could not be dispelled.

The reason why she didn't rush over immediately just now was purely because the huge magical power was like a real mountain pressing down on her, making her dare not take even a single step forward.

The stronger a person is, the more they can feel the threat posed by the increasing concentration of magic power around them, just like a tsunami suddenly hitting your head, making you so stunned that you forget to run away.

Timani couldn't believe that as a member of the Fire Dragon clan...she would be frightened by some kind of existence and unable to move.

"Hero...Did you do that just now? No, this is different from the nature of your magic. What is going on..."

"It's not convenient to talk here now."

Xia closed her eyes and sensed.

There were not many people from the Knights, but there was still a small team of knights moving towards this side at a fairly fast speed.

It's time to go. Although there are explanations for not leaving, it's better to have less trouble than more. I can't let Xuefei get into any trouble.

"Someone is coming soon. I have to take Xia Ya away. You'd better not ask... Oh, forget it. If you have anything to ask, just follow me."

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

In the suburbs of the royal capital, far away from the lights, the place is covered with lush forest vegetation and is uninhabited.

Xiaya hurried on with Xuefei, who was already fast asleep, on her back.

This weight was almost nothing to Xia. He carried her on his back and used [Super Acceleration]. In just a few minutes, they ran from the tavern to the wilderness and found a way to go directly back to the villa in the suburbs.

Originally, Xia could have just left here.

But she chose to stop and once again

Her perception expanded to cover a very long distance around her, and after making sure there were no soldiers around, she slowly opened her eyes.

——He turned around and cast his gaze toward the dim moon and stars in the sky.

Timani was a little slower, but it’s time for her to arrive now.

The upward view blocked the moon, and a pair of scarlet dragon wings tore through the darkness, drawing an arc of fire in the sky.

While flying, Timani flipped her body, spread her wings, locked onto the chasing position, and dived straight down. When she was close to the ground, she flapped her crimson wings and slowly descended.

If Xuefei was still awake, she would definitely praise her for her beautiful landing!

After landing, he didn't even trip over the rocks. This is really something Xuefei should learn from.

This is not a meeting of friends or a reunion of old friends.

Xia's gaze towards Dimani was slightly cold.

Fortunately, no one noticed when Xuefei displayed her magical power just now - except for this fire dragon clan.

In fact, if it were Bellis, she might choose to shut up Timani forever right here.

But Xialett is different from her character after all. She will do her best to protect Xuefei, but she will not kill innocent people unless it is necessary.

Anyway, let's see if we can communicate first... If we can't, I don't mind using extraordinary measures.

After landing, Timani folded the wings unique to the fire dragon clan into the brown robe behind her back.

The solemn surprise on her face was exactly the same as when she was in the tavern. Seeing Xialet stop there, she hurriedly walked up to him and asked.

"Can I explain now? I have already checked in the air and there is no one following us. It is safe."

"Excuse me, Miss Timani." Xia's vigilance can be said to have risen to the extreme. After all, this is related to Xue Fei. "I think... you don't need to dig into this matter. If you are just out of curiosity, then I ask you to give up this inquiry. There are some things in the world that knowing may not be a good thing. Not knowing may be a way to protect yourself. It will not harm either of us."

"what?"

"?"

Whenever Dimani doesn't understand what someone is saying, she responds with a concise "ah"? So she says "ah" quite often, because she often doesn't understand.

Xia felt that even though she had explained it so clearly, Timani still didn't understand?

She was so stupid that she confused Xia.

Xuefei often says that I am stupid...Is there really someone dumber than me?

Actually, Dimani is not stupid, she is just straightforward and doesn't like people beating around the bush when talking to her.

"What on earth do you mean by that pile of stuff? Brave man, just speak directly. I can't beat around the bush!"

"It's just one sentence! I mean, if you insist on digging deep into the matter, we can only be enemies. Do you understand?"

"what?"

What are you saying "ah" again?!

This time, Timani's "ah" did not mean that she didn't understand.

It was precisely because she understood this time that she became even more confused.

"No, how come you're an enemy after just a few questions? Do you have some secret weapon that can destroy the world? Or are you all world-class villains? I'm not just asking you out of curiosity. Didn't you feel the magic power just now? It's likely that it could blow up half of the capital! How can I sleep well if I don't ask clearly when I know there is such a dangerous thing? If the magic power just now exploded, there would be no safe place in the entire capital of Cormier!"

"Say... is that right?"

It seemed that there was really no lie in Timani's scarlet vertical pupils. There was only a desire for knowledge and the thought of ensuring her own safety flashing in them.

Ah...Xuefei, can you please wake up? I can't tell whether what she said just now was a lie or not. Use your eyes that can see through illusions to take a look!

"Mm-m-m... roast duck legs... roast duck... donuts... hehe."

Forget it, Xuefei can’t be relied on now.

Looking back at the front, I saw a hint of crystal at the corner of Timani's mouth.

"Roast duck legs... huh?! No, I'm definitely not recalling the taste of the food!"

"..."

Although Xuefei was sleeping, she once said that there are no bad people who like delicious food, especially grilled fish and donuts.

Xia had her own idea in mind, so just to be on the safe side, she asked the question naively.

"Ms. Timani, would you like grilled fish donuts?"

"Uh, why all of a sudden... Hey, is it okay? I've eaten it a few times before, and it tastes pretty good, but I can't afford it now."

"Okay, then I can tell you a little bit about the situation."

"!"

How did I get it inexplicably?

The right to know the truth!

Although it can be said, Xia must have kept it in mind. It is always right to leave a way out for everything.

Xia held Xuefei's thighs with both hands and pulled them closer to her shoulders, allowing her to lie on her shoulders in a more comfortable position.

Although it was a little uncomfortable where her chest met the back of his shoulder, it was not a big deal.

"This matter... I can't tell you the whole story. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about. For example, you, Miss Timani, you didn't tell us the specific reason why you left the Fire Dragon Tribe's territory, right?"

"That's...! I... Indeed, after all, we are not familiar with each other... I don't need to tell you everything about myself."

"That's right. This is the same for us. But since you have already felt the magic power, the only thing I can tell you is that the fluctuation of the magic power just now did come from Xia Ya behind me."

"Sure enough... Just as I thought. I felt that this little girl was not simple. She easily counteracted my [Dragon Explosion Purgatory] in the arena, and at noon she used [Space Magic] to secretly put the silver coins into my pocket. This is not something a girl of her age can do... She shouldn't be from your human race, could she be a high-level race like me? The Winged Elf...? No, she looks so young... Could she be a high-level elf who is hundreds of years old?!"

"That's all I can say. I can't give you any more specific information."

Timani appears to be a very curious salamander.

She turned around to get a better look at Xia Ya, but Xia Ya kept spinning in the same direction and rhythm as her, perfectly protecting Xue Fei behind her.

Feeling that if she continued talking, she might reveal more information, Xia chose to stop this meaningless communication in time.

If Xia hadn't been worried that if she didn't say anything, Timani might ask around and cause trouble, she wouldn't have started this conversation.

"Okay, that's all I can say. Don't ask any more questions, Miss Dimani. I can guarantee that she will not pose a threat to your Fire Dragon Clan. As for the rest, that's our own business."

"Well... okay, this matter has nothing to do with me anyway, haha... But are you serious about what you just said? A threat to the Fire Dragon Clan? Hero, I understand that this girl is very powerful, but do you really understand what kind of existence those monster elders of the Fire Dragon Clan are?"

"I don't know them any more than you know her."

Xiaya, this damn desire to win, if you say that, then I have to retort to you!

[Super Speed] [Physical Enhancement]

All that needs to be said is said.

Xuefei was drunk. She was definitely not feeling as peaceful as she appeared. The feeling of being drunk was quite uncomfortable, so she had to go home early.

"See you later, Miss Dimani. Please don't tell anyone about this. Xia Ya only hopes to live a peaceful and comfortable life. Can you guarantee this?"

Dimani smiled and nodded with a proud look, and with a standard and elegant posture, she pushed her long red hair that fell in front of her body to the back of her head, making a rustling sound in the wind.

"Don't worry, I'm not that ignorant. We Fire Dragons are not only noble, but also good at keeping secrets."

"You mentioned this expertise, is it something you just thought of adding?"

"That... that's impossible!" Timani's eyes drifted to Xia, who was carrying the kid on her back. A tuft of hair was draped over her shoulders, swaying softly from side to side, looking very energetic. "Besides... this girl is not a bad person. She was the one who did the [Imprisonment Magic] in the tavern just now. We are all the same in that we cannot tolerate evil. So there is no need for me to cause trouble to you. Just trust me."

"Thank you. I'll thank you on behalf of Xia Ya. Anyway, see you later."

"Come on, come on~ I don't want to see you guys again, you look like two ghosts."
