After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"We were clearly on a date, and you clearly chose the restaurant, but your mind is full of things that have nothing to do with me. Wow, am I really so worthless in your eyes?"

There was even a hint of tears in his words.

Aize was 100% sure that she was acting, but he was indeed in the wrong first, so he could only apologize honestly.

"Sorry, I'm used to it..."

Villian's expression suddenly changed, and she put on a smug smirk. She tilted her face and said hurriedly:

"Then it's a deal. If you bring up work again before I go home today, I'll..."

"At once?"

"Kiss you in the street~"

Chapter 35 Exchange Conditions

Aize blinked speechlessly.

"...No matter how you listen to it, you're the one who's at a disadvantage, right?"

No matter from which angle, Villian's appearance is extremely outstanding.

If Aize had not been tormented by his teammates for two years and felt completely disheartened, and if he had not completely trusted them, he would have had a lot of ideas.

But no matter what, this kind of close contact is more like a reward than a punishment.

Villian licked her lips with a wicked smile and added:

"The kind where you press it to the ground while riding~"

"……forget it."

Aize felt an inexplicable chill.

Xien had just given him face yesterday, and he didn't want to be socially ruined so soon.

And Villian was also very well-intentioned - her bad habits, which were like PTSD and were caused by persecution, really needed to be treated.

The personal desires mixed in...it's better not to mention them.

Aize slapped his face, stopped thinking about those troublesome things for the time being, and focused his attention on the "date" in front of him.

Lunch ended quickly. Compared to the simple meals I had eaten before, it was very exquisite and even came with dessert.

Then, under Villian's guidance, Aize came to another area of the commercial street.

There are no various restaurants here, only a wide variety of shops, and the Adventurer's Guild is also in this area.

When passing by a protective gear store, Aize's eyes were drawn to the armor displayed at the door, and he leaned over to examine it.

"Hmm—armor enchanted with Shield Armor? I can't believe I've seen it outside the Holy War Knights. Has the Holy City's armor production capacity reached such a high level? Has the previous workshop expansion plan been effective?"

"Aize."

"Um?"

"Close your eyes~"

Aize, who didn't understand what was going on, just turned around and was pushed against the wall by the roadside by Villian. Her slightly flushed face and inexplicably heavy breath pressed down on him.

Are you serious? And you're coming just like that!?

With this commotion, all the passers-by's attention was naturally focused on him, and Aize was so scared that he quickly pushed the other person away.

"Wait, wait, wait—that doesn't count!!!? I just said it casually, just said it casually!!"

"It's okay, it's okay~ It's just a rub, it won't go in~"

"You better be talking about this!!! No no no, seriously, there are too many people here, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!"

"Then a place with fewer people will do?"

"Uh……"

Aize realized that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself.

"Hmm~ What a pity——"

Seeing that he was indeed somewhat reluctant, Villian let go of Aize with some regret. Aize quickly stood up, patted the dust off his body, and changed the subject:

"What are you doing? Shopping?"

"Buy some clothes."

"clothing?"

"Hmm~"

Villian nodded vigorously.

"I can make most clothes using my techniques, but that's just my preference. I need to take this opportunity to understand your preferences."

"Mine? Why?"

"I'm wearing it for you to see, so of course I have to understand it~"

Seeing that Aize still looked unenthusiastic, Villian smiled softly, leaned over and said in a low voice:

"If you're interested, you could help me pick out some underwear, okay?"

"...No, I'm not interested."

"If you weren't interested, why were you staring at it before?"

"Uh……"

Are you talking about being noticed when you were in the study before?

Now that you've noticed, why not cover it up a bit? Leaving it there for people to see, do you have some special fetish?!

"Okay, hurry up--"

Villian grabbed Aize and rushed into a nearby clothing store.

------

In the corridor on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild, Heidi happened to look out the window and saw this scene.

Not only was he so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but his nails also dug deep into his flesh, even drawing blood.

"That bitch is getting more and more aggressive!!! She's actually dragging someone else's fiancé out shopping in broad daylight!!"

It seems that my failure last night made her proud. She really doesn't know her place.

Heidi knew that she had to speed up.

Suppressing the urge to kick the window and jump down to fight, the princess composed her expression and knocked on the door of the guild master's office in front of her.

"Come in."

A weak voice came from inside, and Heidi turned the handle and walked in.

Behind the door, Roderick, who had been beaten up at the venue last night, sat half-dead in his seat, rolling his eyes like a dehydrated fish.

"Cough-cough-"

Heidi coughed twice.

Roderick slowly raised his head and stared at the uninvited guest with gray eyes:

"You are... Her Highness the Princess?"

The two chatted briefly at the banquet last night, so Roderick still had some impression of it. The unexpected visit made him jump up from his chair.

But Heidi waved her hand, motioning him to sit down, locked the office door, and sat down opposite Roderick's desk.

This made Roderick look a little panicked.

No matter how weak her family was, Heidi was still the heir to the throne and a brave warrior. The nobles could give her some respect, but for ordinary people, she was still an unimaginable existence.

At last night's party, Roderick felt it was a great honor just to be able to say a few words.

Now that he had come to him at his most troubled moment, Roderick was a little at a loss.

"Your Highness, you are here today to..."

"President Roderick, this morning, the local Viscount Edgar sent a group of soldiers to forcibly search the guild and seize all the commission records from the past year. Is this true?"

She had to act in front of Aize and be polite in front of nobles, but when facing such a small person, Heidi had no need to pretend.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his fingers, crossed his legs, raised his face, and with a half-smile on his face and an impolite tone, he looked very majestic.

Even though she's still a child.

Sure enough, it was about this matter. Roderick nodded with cold sweat.

Heidi continued:

"These documents have all been handed over to the monster scholar named Ain for review. Within a week, all your previous lies will be exposed."

Roderick could only nod, his expression growing increasingly grim.

This look pleased Heidi very much.

With the corners of her mouth raised and her body slightly leaning forward, Heidi said slowly:

"When Viscount Edgar compiles all the evidence and reports it to the Guild, what do you think you will do?"

"I……"

"The guild is full of fraud, yet you've been caught, right in front of all the city's important figures. To prevent this from escalating, what do you think the guild's leadership will do?"

Roderick was sweating profusely and kept shaking his head.

Heidi sneered.

"If it were me, I would rush to clean up the mess before the nobles could take action, and cut off the tail to survive. And that tail, of course, is you, President Roderick."

This is exactly what Roderick fears.

Everyone is doing the same thing. If Roderick's affairs are exposed, there is a high probability that they cannot be stopped. If we are not careful, the entire guild will be implicated.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the guild will not be polite to you.

Heidi's few words completely shattered his already on the verge of collapse mentality.

Roderick, who was tall and strong and a prominent figure, actually left his seat and knelt down in front of Heidi with a thud.

"Princess, please help me, Princess, I'm willing to do anything!"

Such a scene made Heidi in a good mood.

That's right, this is the treatment a princess deserves.

It's bad enough that the woman is blind, but Aize actually dares to betray her own people.

I really don't know how valuable the princess's fiancé is?

It is a great honor to have someone help you. Even if others want to lick you, they still have to queue up.

Don't know how to cherish.

"I can help you. I might as well say that's why I came here today."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Highness..."

"But you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Chapter 36 After returning

Roderick nodded nervously:

"Of course, of course! Princess, if you have any requests, please let me know. I will do my best!"

Heidi nodded with satisfaction.
