I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

"Ugh... No, don't kill us."

"This is... the Empire's Tai, Taisbi City..."

"Tesbi City? Never mind. How could I have heard of it... What is an empire? What empire?"

After hearing the name of the city, Asuna muttered something under her breath and then asked.

"N-I don't know... The Empire is the Empire."

Asuna: "..."

Although there are advantages to having children as prisoners, it is not just advantages. Lack of intelligence is an obvious disadvantage.

Realizing that she couldn't get much information from the girl, Asuna asked her to tell her about the evil gangs in the city, planning to find a time to wipe them out and see what the system meant by "evil".

Not long after, about half an hour later, the unlocked door was pushed open again.

My sister who had left here earlier has come back.

She was holding a brown paper bag in her hand, and her pockets were jingling, apparently she had given her a lot of change.

No matter which world it is, the purchasing power of gold is as strong as ever.

"Since you are so obedient..."

Asuna took the bag and casually threw a loaf of bread to the long-haired, red-eyed girl.

"This is a reward for you two sisters. Go and eat it."

Asuna ate a little bread herself, and while enduring her mental depression, she waited for the two sisters to finish their bread.

Asuna: "Watch————!!!"

Chitong: "————?"

Hei Tong: “————?”

Does she...not want us to eat bread?

05Ah, this...

Asuna seemed to feel that just staring at them without asking any questions was somewhat inconsistent with her "villain" setting. She frowned and looked at her elder sister who was feeding bread to her younger sister with an impatient look.

"What's your name, little brat over there?"

Asuna's attitude was very unfriendly, but she didn't look too vicious, and it was obvious that it was due to her lack of experience.

However, the two sisters, who were in a tense situation, had no time to care about these things.

At this moment, all they wanted was to survive Asuna's clutches.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of Asuna "killing" the merchant boss and owner of this house, and taking over his place.

In their minds, Asuna was probably no different from those gang members who had always bullied them.

They are all murderous guys.

"Hey...name?"

After hearing what Asuna said, the older sister was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Asuna uncertainly.

"What else can we do?"

Asuna closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa, seeming to be relieved about the two sisters.

"Red pupil..."

My sister said so.

"Where's my sister?"

"Black pupil..."

Asuna: ...

"Named the same as the eye color... that's really random."

"Well, never mind. It doesn't matter what happens. I'll feed your sister later. Now, clean up the room first."

After complaining about their two names a little, Asuna began to give orders to Akame, asking her to clean the room first and then feed her hungry sister who was now wolfing down her food.

"But... Hei Tong only ate yesterday..."

Akagi looked at the room, which was not too dirty, and hesitated.

"You won't starve to death if you eat later. You have no bargaining power with me. Besides, can't you just put it next to her mouth and she can eat it? It's just that her hands and feet are tied, and her mouth is not blocked."

Chi Tong: “…”

To be honest, if Asuna doesn't let the two of them do something, she doesn't know how to maintain her villain setting.

With a cold face all day long? Talking harshly, but not beating or scolding? And taking care of food and sleep every day?

Damn it, what kind of evil guy is this!

So, Asuna, who couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, had to ask her sister named Akame to clean the room.

Even if the room is not very dirty, you can pretend to be a germaphobe and make her do the work every day.

This way... I should be able to maintain my villain setting, right?

Thinking of this, Asuna herself became a little uncertain.

In contrast, the sisters with red eyes and black eyes had no way to resist Asuna's ability.

Akame pursed her lips and placed the bread next to Kurome's mouth, so that Kurome, who was tied up and unable to move, could open her mouth and eat. She then obediently walked to the corner where the sanitary tools were placed and cleaned silently, for fear of making any noise and disturbing Asuna.

Not long after, after Akame finished cleaning, Asuna no longer cared about them. She just closed her eyes and rested silently, her brows furrowed from time to time, as if she was enduring something painful.

The two sisters also ate not-so-fresh bread after a long time, but when they saw Asuna frowning from time to time, they couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were wondering about something.

At bedtime, Asuna took one hand each of the two sisters and used shredded sheets to make a knot that a child could never untie. Then she tied them to the bed in the next room. Then she lay on the bed alone, silently enduring the aftereffects of the time travel, or perhaps, the punishment for laziness?

After lying in silence for a while, Asuna stood up, found a pair of scissors in the room, and without hesitation cut off her long hair that she had kept for a long time.

Although she felt a little distressed, when she thought about the trouble her beautiful hair had caused her when she first crossed over, Asuna reluctantly put her hair into the warehouse.

"It's okay, it will grow back sooner or later..."

Asuna comforted herself like this, but she felt her head hurt even more.

With a headache and a heartache, how can it not hurt...

However, what Asuna didn't expect was that after her hair was stored in the warehouse, it actually showed its properties?

【Demigod's Long Hair】

[Note: This is the hair that a very weak demigod cut off with great pain. It has no special effect, but if it is made into a wig, it will slightly enhance the wearer's charm.]

[Note: Hair transplantation has a higher effect~! ]

Seeing this, even Asuna couldn't help but want to complain.

What is this?

Wig endorsement?

Or a hair transplant endorsement?

Isn't this too strange? !

However, even though she wanted to complain, the pain and dizziness in Asuna's head still did not ease. No matter what she looked at, she felt that it was constantly spinning, making her extremely uncomfortable.

In the days that followed, Akame became Asuna's exclusive maid.

Every day, Asuna leaves Kurome as a hostage and sends Akame out to buy things or do something. On the surface, Asuna completely treats Akame as a tool to run errands, but in fact, Asuna has never arranged her to do something impossible to accomplish or deliberately make things difficult for her.

Moreover, in return, she also provided shelter and food for the two sisters who lived on the streets...even though none of their things belonged to her.

Since the three of them stayed in the building during the day and let Akame out at night, no one has discovered that they have occupied the hut so far, allowing Asuna to "recover in peace."

These days, through questioning the older Akagi, she has learned some common sense about this world.

For example, the most basic thing is that the country she is in now, the Empire, is an ancient country with a thousand-year-old civilization, and it is also the most powerful country in the world!

Then there are the dangerous species that everyone in this world knows about.

It is a monster similar to the one in the Orario dungeon. As for the specific situation, it is not something that an eight-year-old child like Akame can know.

After a week of rest, Asuna's mental state finally recovered to a certain extent.

Although I still feel intermittent tingling sometimes, at least I am not so dizzy anymore, which ensures the most basic combat effectiveness.

Although the surroundings were still calm and peaceful, Asuna still asked Akame to buy suitable clothes for her to change into, intending to go out and find out the news about this world and then leave the city.

Although the clothes brought from Orario are not much different from the clothes here, it is always good to integrate into this world as soon as possible.

06A chaotic and weird world

After changing her clothes, Asuna glanced at her sisters who were whispering to each other in the small room next door: "I'm leaving here. You can do whatever you want in the future. Anyway, I won't come back here."

"The owner of this house may not be able to come back, but for safety reasons, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Asuna put on her cloak again and continued:

"I'll leave the rest of the money on the table. If you just eat and live frugally, it should be enough for the two of you to use for most of the month."

"…Hey! Are you leaving now?"

"…Where are you going?"

After hearing Asuna's words, the two little girls expressed surprise, happiness, relief, and a hint of... reluctance.

During these days together, Asuna did not abuse them. At most, she would ask Akame to clean the house or go out shopping.

Occasionally, Asuna would chat with them and provide them with fresh food that they had never had when they were living on the streets. This inevitably made the homeless children develop a certain degree of dependence.

Although, Asuna "killed" the owner of this room and "robbed" the house, which made them feel a little afraid of her.

"I have no obligation to tell you where I'm going. Anyway, you are free, and then... goodbye forever."

With a casual wave of her hand, Asuna opened the door and left, leaving the two sisters behind the door secretly watching her departing back, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

……

……

In the bustling streets, Asuna put on her cloak again and minimized her presence.

According to the "common sense" she learned from novels and the Internet, Asuna prepared to go to the tavern in this world to inquire about the news.

After all, when people are drunk, they often don't even need any guidance and will say anything, and they say anything without any taboos.

Asuna found a drunk stranger sleeping on the street corner and easily asked him about the basic situation of this world.

The common sense of this world...or this country, is much more complete than what the sisters Akame and Kurome know.

……

……

The country where Asuna is currently located is an empire with a thousand-year-old civilization!

It is indeed the most powerful country in the world, but there is a Western kingdom that can rival it, and there are other countries in the world besides it.

For example, the Eastern Islands and the Northern Frozen Land, but they are much more backward than the Empire and the Kingdom, especially the Eastern Islands, which are still uncivilized areas.

Regarding the world's specialty "dangerous species", the Empire calls creatures that attack humans and threaten human life and safety "dangerous species".

If anyone witnesses it, local soldiers will be sent to suppress it.

Danger types are divided into super dangerous types, special dangerous types, then level one, level two, level three, and level four, and the higher the level, the more serious it is.

They have various abilities, just like the monsters in the Orario dungeon.

The body parts of dangerous creatures can be used as weapon materials just like the monsters in the dungeon.

At the same time, many parts of the animal are also very delicious and valuable food. Many people and even some ethnic groups have businesses that specialize in hunting dangerous species, then peeling them and selling their materials. It is not a problem to understand dangerous species as monsters in the general sense.

Dangerous species at level one and below are often hunted. Ordinary people may not be their opponents, but most elite warriors can deal with them. However, the situation is completely opposite for those above special level. Ordinary people and ordinary warriors cannot fight against them at all. If you want to kill them, you need a large number of elite warriors.

The environment of the empire is not optimistic. The emperor has just died not long ago, and many heirs are fighting for the throne. However, the overall environment of the country is stable, but the upper echelons and the emperor are very chaotic.

Of course, this empire had been corrupt for many years, and the worsening chaos in the upper echelons had little to do with this border city. After all, political struggles had never had much to do with borders, at least for civilians, unless a large-scale civil war was to break out.
