[Really, it's rude......]

About 20 minutes have passed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But for me, it's like a year.

The tip of her nose could faintly smell the residual body fragrance in the air.

Unlike before, her face was a little pale, but now her complexion has become very ruddy, and it seems that my blood is unexpectedly difficult to consume. The whole body was still shaking with excitement.

Ahem. If I hadn't read the above, it would have looked like I had done something terrible.

Despite this, the girls behind me were staring at me again with eyes full of condemnation, or lamenting that there were still such bad men in this world......

[Why!] I didn't do anything this time! ]

I protested their prejudice with indignation.

[uh...... It's terrible. ]

[This man is so bad.] ]

[Allen-kun couldn't be the worst.] ]

But they still sighed as always.

[Hmph, do you think I'll mind if I say the same thing a second time?] ]

But I'm already a man who can make shameless declarations in such a grand manner.

Ah, what a remnant of this transformation......

[that...... Are you okay. ]

Worried, Windsor Nozomi went up to support Miss Elizabeth.

[It's okay, it's just the first time I've tried to draw blood like this, and I'll be able to recover in a moment.] ]

She explained to us.

[So, if the man named Cain could hide his face and hide in the city, you should be able to do the same?] If it is in a big country like [Western Prosperity], it is indeed difficult to hide it, but if it is [Kailan Cheli], there should be no problem. ]

I asked them.

[Well, just use a spell that suppresses demonic nature.] If you are not disturbed by special test magic, there should be no problem,]

She affirmed me.

[Without further ado, it's almost time to reach [Rioyode City] ahead.] So let's go. ]

[But your outfit is really unusual, especially Elyce, but you have to go into the city to buy you a suitable pair, I happen to have a few black cloaks with me, you can make do with them to cover people's eyes and ears.] ]

As I spoke, I summoned the closet from the four-dimensional backpack and pulled out two black cloaks from the closet.

[If you don't mind, put it on, I haven't worn either of these pieces yet.] ]

I handed the cloak to them, and the girls looked at me dumbfounded.

[Hmm...... Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ]

Although she looked a little surprised, Miss Elisabeth took my cloak and put it on herself, and helped Elisa to put it on her.

[Well, don't be so surprised, this is my ability.] ]

[Cynthia, why are you looking at me with a surprised expression, did I do something strange?] ]

I asked, scratching my head.

[not...... Generally speaking, you shouldn't have pulled two black cloaks out of the void for this scene, right? ]

[Conjure up a huge wardrobe and pull out two identical black robes, although the results are similar, but you always feel like you're forcing me to complain about something.] ]

[I see, that's what I said.] ]

[And...... Although I only saw it metaphorically, it seems that there are always a few pieces of the same clothes in your closet, right? And it's all black? ]

[No, no, no, except for the cape, the rest of the clothes are subtly different.] }

[But, Alan-kun, even if you think there's a subtle difference, it's all black for us, and I thought you'd only wear one piece of clothing all along.] ]

[Well...... I just prefer to wear black, or rather, I guess I'm used to it. ]

[In the past, when I was in this world, I used to wear all black, and then grow my hair long at will, so that others felt that "the dead house is disgusting" and so on, and they didn't want to approach me. ]

[Something like that...... ]

[And black isn't too conspicuous, and I don't want people to have an idea that I'm easy to approach, but I don't want to be too conspicuous, so wouldn't it be nice to think about it.] ]

I explained it this way.

Actually, I don't know why I'm so keen on wearing black.

Probably that's what I'm here for.

[…… I don't understand it, but I always feel that it reveals a sad meaning. ]

Cynthia expressed her thoughts after listening to this.

[Please don't be so blunt...... ]

[It turns out that being sympathetic to others when you are laughing at yourself is really uncomfortable.] ]

I said with a sudden feeling of emptiness.

[No, Alan-kun, my feelings for you are not sympathy.] ]

[Well, it's a bit subtle to say that this feeling, and the feeling I feel about you now is probably similar to the one you said [Dead House is disgusting], right?] ]

Cynthia Khao is still so outspoken.

[So...... Can you not be so blunt? ]

[Huh~ The dead house is disgusting.] ]

[Please don't use it like this?] ]

[Well, I don't think I should use that word in a mocking tone.] ]

[Should it be in a more regrettable tone?] A more disgusting tone? ]

[Please don't speculate on the usage of this word......]

But Cynthia Coai still wouldn't give up.

The look of disgust shifted slightly to the right, as if deliberately avoiding me. Deeply locked eyebrows, the corners of the mouth slightly grinned to the right.

Then in a slight, soft, but audible voice, I knew what she was trying to say even if I couldn't hear the shape of her mouth.

Regretful and disgusted, he whispered in a very disdainful tone.

[Cut, it's disgusting to be dead.] ]

…… Ah, yes, that's how it feels.

Although the expression is subtle, it is more contemptuous.

It's a subtle expression like the one I've experienced many times in this life.

This expression was perfectly reproduced by Cynthia.

What's going on with this inexplicable sense of emptiness and frustration in my heart?

[after entering the city...... Let's go eat the pudding, please make sure you go around me......]

I bowed my head to her.

[That's great.] ]

At this moment, she showed an innocent smile again.

Ah, what a woman this woman is......

In this way, the original team of four people has now become six.

Because Alyssé was still too weak, I had to carry her on my back.

After walking for about 15 kilometers, we arrived at the city of Rioyode.

Because the atmosphere in the city is really wrong, the city guards are still very careful about the people entering the city.

And Alice and Miss Elisabeth do look suspicious now.

But don't worry, I showed the [Envoy Gold Medal] that Blake Reilly gave me before leaving, and the guards let us into the city very well.

Compared to the small town on the edge at the beginning, the situation of [Rioyode City] is indeed much better. Among the many buildings in the surrounding area, there is a large palace that stands out.

If the [Fulu Palace] is like a giant egg, then the shape of this castle, if viewed from a distance, is more like a towering stone monument, because the terrain of the [Rioyode City] is a slope along the mountain, and the city is built from top to bottom, and this palace called the [Zhise Palace] is at the top of the mountain, half buried at the bottom of the mountain, and half towering into the sky. It's very magnificent.

Like the Western Victoria, but somewhat different, the palace at the entrance to the country to the top of the hill is still gorgeous, the first half is used for trade, you can see many strange shops, and the second half is a place where nobles and royalty haunt. The area in between can become a bustling area.

In the past, Kailan Cheri was not so prosperous, although it was very poor, but the laws here were more lenient than in other places, and the former royal family and the landlords they assigned to them were relatively mild, and it was also a happy place.

It was not until the new royal family took office that the policy of exploitation was used to establish the central area of [Rioyode City] into a prosperous area. This was not the case in the city of Rioyode in the past.

The left and right sides that are separated are the east and west sides.

It's all slums.

Compared with the buildings in the prosperous districts, the buildings in the eastern and western districts are uneven, but they are generally dilapidated slum dwellings, which also represent two forces.

One is a local gangster force headed by a man named Siratot Thanle, Siratot Thanh Le, who is the general of the former imperial family, in the revolution and the change of the royal family 30 years ago, with the remnants of the die-hard subordinates to carry out the last stubborn resistance, and fled to the eastern district as a base, and the general of Puri became the boss of the ruffian.

Later, after mediation by the new royal family, the new royal family agreed to hand over jurisdiction over the Eastern District to him, and Siradot Thanh Le provided the new royal family with gray benefits.

However, rumor has it that the original royal family has not been completely wiped out during the night of the revolution, and the third prince has escaped and taken refuge in Siratot Thanle.

So Siratott Thanh Le may actually be planning a restoration, and he has been looking for opportunities.

Most of the civilian refugees who were obsessed with the rule of the former royal family also lived in the Eastern District, and they maintained the customs of [Kailan Cheri] thirty years ago in the Eastern District. The appearance of the East Side has generally not changed from 30 years ago, but it is more dilapidated than it was 30 years ago, and it is as if time in the East Side stopped 30 years ago.

Therefore, the eastern district is also called the "Old Country District", which represents the "Restoration Party" of the "former royal family", while the western district is completely different from this.

The West Side is more treacherous than the East Side, and it occupies a smaller area, but it is a veritable "Impossible Zone".

The people of the West End are even worse, more like a gathering place for hooligans and ruffians, full of people who use illegal forces to stand on their own.

And a jagged low wall was erected to isolate it.

Although the Eastern District is also self-reliant, it still has some contacts with the prosperous area.

The West Side has no direct contact with the downtown area at all, and people in the West Side will sneak to the downtown area, but if they are caught by the guards on the street, it will basically be over.

Similarly, in addition to the people of the West End, the last place to go is probably the West End.

The leaders of the Western District were the remnants of the former Revolutionary Army. Blonnuru Hayroman.

He was also a more radical figure in the original revolutionary army, and after being exterminated by the Papal States, he hid in the Western District with the remnants of the die-hard party, and established a gangster force. There are many renovated buildings in the West Side compared to the East Side, like a small military fortress, and many rebellious young people will join the West Side, and they will of course prefer the Revolutionary Party of the West End to the corrupt and incompetent new royal family, the conservative and narrow Restoration Party.

The new royal family did not ignore them, and in fact launched several extermination operations, but they could not be disposed of, and the West End had no value for development.

Therefore, the Western District only dared to make some small moves, they could not fight against the new royal family, and they were even afraid that the new royal family would seriously want to exterminate them

But the West End is still here.

The Western District can be called the "Lawless District", and the people of the Western District are of course the "Revolutionary Party".

The people of the Eastern District hated the people of the Western District, and if it were not for the Revolutionary Army, the country would have belonged to them.

The people of the West Side also hate the people of the East Side, as mentioned before, and most of them are rebellious young people. And people who hate to stop because they are conservative.

The Eastern Side is dependent on the new royal family, and the Western District is afraid of the new royal family.

The position of the new royal family is a very real and corrupt hedonism.

Despite the fact that both times there were serious troubles, the economy of [Kellan Cheri] was more backward and weak than it was thirty years ago.

But they don't care, as long as they can squeeze the people's financial resources here for pleasure, they don't care about the country or the people.

Behind them, however, there is a Papal State, which acts as an umbrella behind them, and it is impossible to overthrow them with the two rabbles of the East and the West.

This is the current state of the country of Gallan Cherry.

This is what I was told by the locals I met at the tavern after I came here.

[Allen-kun, you liar, why don't we go eat pudding first?] ]

As I had been chatting with the locals for a long time, Cynthia Kelai began to complain about me.

[Well...... Aren't you looking for it now, a dessert house or something? ]

I said helplessly.

[I'm hoping to find some herbs and cloth here.] ]

[Let's go after the dessert.] ]

Finally came to a place where trade was more prosperous, and Windsor Nozomi also told her plan.

Well, it's really reassuring to have such a partner with a lot of sub-professions.

Compared to the other two people who only care about eating and having fun.

[I'd like to take a good shower or something, I haven't had a good bath lately, so it's terrible to treat a lady like this.] ]

Charlotte Tilly complained to me.

[…… Okay, well, when you get to [Zhisecheng City], you can enjoy it, speaking of which, I've been sleeping on the floor since I left the city, right? I miss the feeling of the bed so much......]

I couldn't help but sigh.

[Long time...... I've never seen so many humans. ]

Also exclamating was Miss Elizabeth.

[Now I'm walking in the city of human beings in the open, and it's like a dream.] ]

[It's been a long time since I've been here.] ]

[It's completely different from what I remembered.] ]

The last time she saw so many humans and walked around her homeland was 300 years ago, right? It's really emotional.

[Here it is...... Lord Elizabeth's hometown. ]

Alice Waryn, who had been asleep on my back, woke up without knowing why.

[Well, though, it's completely changed.] ]

Miss Elizabeth replied to her.

[Huh?] Have you woken up, do you like desserts? ]

I asked Alice.

[Hmm...... I like strawberry cake, but I haven't eaten it in a long time. ]

She said honestly.

[Let's eat it once in a long time, although you've become a vampire, it's okay to sing some desserts, right?] ]

I asked her

[Hmm...... I can't be like Lord Elizabeth and that Mr. Cain, who can transform the energy necessary for survival by relying on blood. ]

[And even if you become a vampire...... The sense of taste is still not affected. ]

She affirmed me.

Strawberry cake? Speaking of which, my sister likes it a lot, too.

I always eat the whole cake and then enjoy the strawberries to my heart's content.

It's been like this since childhood, if you rob her, the consequences will be really terrible.

I've also tasted it, the long-lost strawberry cake. (To be continued.) )
