"Obviously...... Ah———h

As soon as I turned around, Sophia pressed me to the ground and sucked the blood.

"What are you doing?"

I resisted desperately, but I was greeted with more violent bloodsucking.

The magic in the body is draining rapidly.

Damn it! See if I pick you up later!

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Sophia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and fought like a victor.

I clutched my tooth marks on my shoulders and lay helplessly on the ground.

"It turns out that Miss Suzuki and Miss Sofia have this kind of relationship......"

"Don't get me wrong, she's just a vampire dragon......"

"I've never heard of this kind of dragon."

"It's so comfortable—"

"After sucking so much blood from me, you should find out the murderer for me!"

"Follow me, I know where he is."

"That's amazing!"

Sophia pulled Sato and ran out.

Wait, have you forgotten that there is still me!

"Hey, hey! You guys should take care of my feelings! ”

……

"You're so heavy......"

Sophia, who was carrying me, grumbled from time to time.

I don't weigh even a hundredth of hers......

"Miss Sophia, where are we going?"

I don't know how many times Sato has said this, but we're still moving forward.

"It's just ahead."

This is the nth time Sophia has given the same answer.

Where the hell is it?

Shuttling through the royal capital, it was basically the same scene, which made me feel dizzy.

"Do you know where it is?"

"That's long-winded...... That's just ahead. ”

"Please, I'm going to vomit when I hear that."

I really want to strangle this stupid dragon right now.

"No, it's definitely ahead this time."

"Isn't Miss Sato tired?"

I have to say that Sato's physical strength is really good, obviously she has already walked a long way, but she doesn't have any respite and discomfort. It doesn't feel like an average lady at all.

"Me? It's okay...... Usually I have practiced a little bit of swordsmanship. ”

"Swordsmanship? Is that Miss Sato a knight? ”

"Knights? No, I'm not up to that level yet, at best I can do a little self-defense. ”

"That's right...... That's still pretty remarkable. ”

I always felt that Sato was being humble with me, and she should be very powerful.

"Here it is!"

"Huh?!"

Is that a possibility......

The place in front of us was the ——— Royal Palace.

"Miss Sophia, are you sure?"

"Can't be wrong, it must be in it."

“…… That's going to be hard. ”

The palace must not allow us to enter and exit at will, so our only clue is broken.

"Damn, the murderer must be so rampant because he can enter and leave the palace at will."

"Why can't you go in here?"

For Sophia's stupid question, I chose to ignore it.

Sato looked at the palace unwillingly, his hands already clenched into fists.

"I've got a way."

"Miss Suzuki, is there anything you can do?"

"Why don't we sneak in here at night?"

"No! If he was caught, he would definitely be sentenced to death. I can't let Miss Suzuki die for nothing. ”

My thoughts were severely suppressed by Sato...... But......

"That'...... Will there be a way to enter the palace in the next beauty pageant? ”

"If you pass the semi-finals, it should be fine."

"Then do it!"

"Is Miss Suzuki going to participate?"

"No, it's not me going to participate."

"Then I'll go and help Miss Suzuki sign up."

"Wait, I said I wasn't going to participate!"

But Sato didn't listen to me.

……

On the day of the beauty pageant.

"So, you came with me?"

Vivien, who was beside me, questioned me.

"There's no way around it, those guys don't want to go!"

After going back yesterday, I was rejected by all my team members, and the reason was very consistent——— I thought it would be better for Suzuki to participate.

He's big...... I'm only 12 years old, are you embarrassed to let me go to this kind of competition as a child?

"Whatever you want, but ...... Hopefully you'll make it past the preliminary round. ”

"Are you looking down on me?"

I admit that Vivien today is definitely a goddess-like existence, and the white dress with her beauty is simply a foul level. But I also have a reason why I can't lose now!

"No, just a blessing for you."

"Hey, you're going to see it!"

The audition for the competition was held at Wanli Square.

At this time, the square was full of brightly dressed ladies, and just looking at it made people feel dizzy.

Can I really win......

"Come on, Captain! We've got your back! ”

Suzuki ...... That, you're really, really beautiful today! ”

"Come on, Miss Suzuki!"

"Come on, Sister Suzuki, if you win, Nana will call you sister-sama!"

Everyone...... I was impressed———

What a fart!

Why should I be asked to do such a shameful thing.

The more you praise me, the more uncomfortable I feel!

I'm a man! Becoming a little Lori is not what I expected at all!

At this time, I was wearing a blue dress that I had never worn in my life, and by the way, this dress was not mine, but was temporarily lent to me by Miss Sato.

Miss Sato helped me a lot in order for me to win the competition, but I still hope that you will come and participate in my place.

"Miss Suzuki, are you ready?"

Sato stayed by my side so as not to make me nervous.

"Sato, you really ......"

"Looks like you're ready, come on! Good luck and prosperity! ”

Sato shoved me into the playing area and ran away without looking back.

Damn, I had to go to ......

The jury sat in a makeshift house, and it was said that they were all beautiful judges——— which was the only thing that comforted me.

Push open the door –

"Morning ......... of the judges Good. ”

Who told me that they were all beautiful judges, and I promise not to hack her to death!

"Hello, a little bit about yourself."

A male voice that sounded super disgusting came out.

"I—My name is Kan Suzuki...... 12 years old...... That, that, it's an adventurer......"

The jury was full of old, ugly, and fat men, probably ugly aristocrats......

"Alright, alright! What kind of self-introduction do you have? Do you understand? ”

An aristocratic man slapped the table hard, stood up angrily, and roared at me.

"Calm down, Baron...... Didn't you see that you scared this little girl? ”

"Shhhh Viscount, if you like this kind of child, you can just take it, and no one here will rob you. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry...... Some things have to be done slowly. ”

Isn't my current situation dangerous......
