Milia chose a rose-colored evening dress for Eugari, thinned her short and crisp hair, and originally prepared a crimson makeup mask, but Eugari chose the black rabbit mask from before.

"Why would you like such a weird mask?"

"Huh? Isn't it cute? Despite that, she knew in her heart that she probably hoped that the mask's unique fear-reducing effect would be somewhat useful.

Miria herself chose a pure white evening gown, with a high bun, a black makeup mask, a minimalist style pendant, and a pair of silver-white high heels.

The banquet was held in the courtyard inside the auction hall in a place called the Pearl Castle, one of the most extravagant buildings in Treasure Bay. In the evening, a huge crystal chandelier on the tall dome illuminated the entire venue, and the guests enjoyed the joy of the auction in a dreamlike dance with elegant posture, light dance steps, reserved smiles, and unique costumes.

However, in stark contrast, Yujali was hiding on the balcony alone, holding a drink in her hand, staring blankly at the night outside.

"What are you doing hiding here? It used to be lively. Miria walked over from behind and said to Yugari in a daze.

"I can't handle it." Yujiali turned her head and said helplessly, "I think I'm still not suitable for this kind of scene, I feel so nervous." And it's the first time I've worn this kind of clothes, it's so awkward, it feels weird......"

"It's nothing, just a few more times." Miria encouraged, "Jiali needs to participate in more social activities, or how to integrate into high society in the future." Come with me. With that, Miria pulled Eugari towards the center of the banquet hall.

At this time, Shi Shi walked in front of them with Gen. Shi Shi was wearing a pale pink bandeau backless long dress, with light makeup and heavy makeup, which looked both graceful and luxurious, but also extremely charming. The scarlet makeup mask and the bright red high heels that were slightly visible under the skirt made her already slender figure even more eye-catching. Next to her, Gen is wearing armor and a brocade robe, following her every step of the way, always vigilant of the surrounding movements, protecting the safety of the master.

After seeing Youjiali, Shi Shi immediately stopped and greeted in a sweet voice, "Oops." Isn't this the little girl in the afternoon venue? What a coincidence, I actually met here. Let me once again express my heartfelt thanks for the gift you have brought. With that, Shi Shi raised the wine glass in his hand slightly.

"Ah, no, that, no thanks." Yugari replied visibly nervously, and then picked up the drink in her hand.

"How? Have fun? Shi Shi asked with a dignified smile.

"It's okay. First, it is the first time to come to such an occasion. A little...... A little nervous......" Yugari replied in a shy whisper.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It would be nice to come back a few more times in the future. Next time, you're welcome to visit my Love Song Bay. ”

"Okay, okay. Certain...... Go. ”

"You are also welcome to come to our Taoyao City as a guest." At this time, several relatively thin and slightly childish figures walked from behind Youjiali and them.

"Isn't this the untimely meow of the Black and White Cat Guild? Why, which gust of wind brought you here too? After seeing a few people coming over, Shi Shi teased with a smile.

"Oops, I didn't expect you to recognize me through the mask." A woman in a pink doll dress at the front whispered.

"Of course, who else would choose such a childlike outfit?"

"Humph! So what. Meow likes this kind of dress. Then he turned his head and said to Yujiali and the others, "Remember to come and play with me next time." ”

"Okay, okay." Yujali replied confusedly.

After speaking, the woman left quickly with the group behind her, and Shi Shi also nodded slightly to Youjiali, and walked towards the other side of the hall with Gen.

"Not bad. Didn't you meet a few celebrities right away? Miria leaned over to Yugari and quipped.

"Why? I'm dying of nervousness. Yugari replied embarrassedly.

"Then exercise more, the next time you come to the stage......" Just as Miria was speaking, a tall man in a black tuxedo and a white makeup mask appeared in front of them. After a brief salute, the man politely asked, "May I have the honor to invite you to dance?" ”

Eugari and Miria were stunned for a moment, and then Miria said, "I wonder which one of us you want to invite?" I recommend that you invite this beautiful lady next to me to dance with you. With that, Miria pushed Eugari over.

"Huh?" Yugari blushed and said embarrassedly, "This ...... I...... Not ......"

The man smiled politely, "It just so happens that there are two of us here, so let's dance together." As he spoke, a man of similar size and outfit came up from behind him.

"Very happily." Miria replied politely, then looked at the nervous Yugari beside her, and whispered, "Come on, this is a rare opportunity to exercise." ”

So, a few people came to the center of the hall and danced to the beautiful piano dance. Miria was like a white snowflake in the hall, dancing lightly and happily in the air, like flowing water. Yujiali was a little nervous, following the other party's steps, and reluctantly danced to the rhythm of the music.

"With your blonde hair coiled up, you're becoming more mature and stable." As he danced, the man complimented Miria. Although it felt a little strange, Miria politely expressed her gratitude. And Yujiali is obviously not so leisurely on her side. Since stepping onto the 'stage', Yujiali has always been looking forward to ending this 'torment' as soon as possible.

Fortunately, this dance song is not long, and after the music ended, the man in the tuxedo politely thanked him, "I really deserve to be the daughter of the Hill family, not only is she beautiful and dignified, but her dancing posture is also light and elegant, thank you very much." After a brief salute, he and his companions left. Milia stood stunned.

"I'm so tired." Yugari walked over with a tired expression on her face. When she saw Miria in a daze, she asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Miria was relieved. "It's nothing, that person just now knows my name." Miria said confusedly.

"Huh? Don't you know who they are? Eugari asked.

"I don't know, not at all. And no one should know about my visit to the Adventurer's Kingdom. Not to mention here. A masquerade ball. ”

"Don't you have any clues? Dress, movements, or accent of speech? ”

"Judging by words and deeds, he should be a well-educated upper-class person. However, there seems to be a strange smell emanating from his body. Looks like I've smelled it somewhere...... However, I can't remember it at all. ”

"That's really weird, you have to be careful." Yugari said worriedly, "I guess we'd better go back as soon as possible." After all, you don't know the place here, so it's hard to deal with it if something happens. ”

"Hmm...... You have a point, too. Miria nodded.

By the time Eucaria and Miria returned to the inn, it was late, and the other two were already asleep except for Brala. Milia tells Bralla about the ball, and Blana is very worried about her safety and wants to return to Starlis sooner. So, Yugari and the others discussed it, and decided to pack their bags early tomorrow morning and set off for Starlis.

Early the next morning, Yujiali told Li Yaqi and Konya about her plan to leave.

"How are we going back?" Li Yaqi asked.

"Going straight through the East Vigil Forest should be the fastest." Konya suggested.

"Probably not." "We still have to drive a cart of Frost Fruit back, and we can't walk the rugged path of the forest, so we can only take the avenue." ”

At this time, Miria squinted at Blala, who pretended not to hear.

"So we're going to keep going north along the avenue, around the forest, then east, past the town of the Watch, and finally back to Starlis. No problem, everyone? Yugari looked at everyone and asked.

"Do you have time to buy some food for my baby?" Li Yaqi asked.

"I want to go to the beach again." Konya suggested.

"Okay, let's pack our bags in the morning, if there's anything we haven't dealt with, or something we need to go out to buy, let's hurry up. After lunch, we'll set off. That's okay, right? ”

"Okay—" Li Yaqi and Konya replied in unison.

So Eugari and Miria went out to buy some food and water for the journey. Li Yaqi went to a nearby food store to buy some feed for her gorillas. Konya took advantage of the rare opportunity to go to the beach and went fishing for many more sea fish. After everyone had lunch and cleaned up, Li Yaqi and Conia sat in the driver's seat to drive the carriage, Yujali and Miria sat at the back of the carriage, talking and laughing and enjoying the scenery along the way, and Blala lay down in the middle of the boxes of frost fruits and took a nap. Everyone ended their trip at Jumbo Bay and drove north along the avenue next to the forest.

To the west of the road is the lush East Vigil Forest, and to the east is the gradually sandy meadows that stretch to the beach in the distance. After some time, the carriage suddenly stopped. "There's a kid lying in front of you." Li Yaqi turned to Youjiali and said.

"What? What's going on? Yugari asked curiously, and then jumped out of the carriage with Miria and rushed to the front.

At this time, a small girl with a thin body and a dirty body was lying in the middle of the road. She was wearing a light gray shabby dress, and there seemed to be some scars left on her exposed body, and it looked like she had passed out.

"Isn't this the girl I met on the Poseidon before?" Yugari said as she picked up the girl.

"It's her, yes." Miria affirmed, "I think she was sent to the orphanage in Treasure Bay, how could she be here?" ”

"Don't worry about that for now, help me hold her up, I'll check her injuries first." With that, Yugari helped the girl to Miria, and then quickly checked her condition.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, just some abrasions, but it looks like I'm fainting from hunger." Yuga said.

"What then? Do you want to send her back to Treasure Bay? Miria asked.

"It's been so far." "I guess it's better to take her with you first, and then ask what the situation is when she wakes up." ”

"That's it."

So they carried the girl into the carriage. "Let's take her on our way. Wait until you get to Vigil and explain the situation to the Guild Alliance. Youjiali said to Li Yaqi.

"That's it." Li Yaqi replied indifferently, and then continued to drive the carriage forward.

Eugari and Miria take care of the unconscious girl in the back. The girl's long skirt was wrapped in a dark green scarf, and there was no other clothes, messy short hair, a young face, thin arms, and blood-blistered feet, and a long-suffering appearance, which made people feel pity.

After some time, the girl gradually woke up. As soon as she opened her confused eyes, when she saw Eugari and them, she immediately hugged Miria next to her and cried. Startled, Miria hurriedly hugged her and comforted her.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go to the orphanage in Treasure Bay after that? How did you get here? Yugari looked at the girl with tears and asked with concern.

"I—I'm ......," the girl choked up, "I escaped from the orphanage...... There, I'm often bullied......" she said, pulling up the corners of her skirt, revealing her thighs covered with many freshly healed wounds, and then continued to cry uncontrollably.

"How can this be......" Eugari whispered sadly.

"What's next?" Li Yaqi saw a fork in the road in front of her and asked Youjiali.

"I'll take a look. Well...... From here, keep going, turn left at the next junction, and then keep going west along the Vigil River, and you won't be far before you can see the town of Vigil. Let's go there first. Yugari replied to the map.

"Understood!" Li Yaqi replied briskly.

Miria brought out a lot of delicious desserts for the girl and kept comforting her. After gobbling her stomach, the girl wiped her tears and fell asleep in Miria's arms.

With that, Eugari looked at the map and the roads around her; Miria patted the sleeping girl and hummed a little tune; Li Yaqi and Konya have always been in a very good mood since they got what they liked at the auction, and they were sitting in front of them driving the carriage with laughter and laughter; Blala was still leaning on the side of the box and falling asleep; Everyone drove in the direction of Vigil Town.
