"Someone is following us. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

From the moment they entered the city, the girls' carriages circled the neighborhood and did not go directly to the inn, for the reason that the silver-haired girl had said.

"Really?" Fidelia was a little incredulous, for as far as she could see, there was only a sea of people and no suspicious stalkers.

"Naturally, you're going to make them suspicious. ”

"Yes. ”

Fidelia didn't say much, she had put God in the highest position in her heart since she was a child, and she naturally had an absolute sense of trust in that kind of existence, in fact, in so many days with Xia Ji, every time Xia Ji's hunch was correct. Therefore, there should be no reason for suspicion in theory.

Please forgive me for having the idea that you are cheating on me in an instant, and realizing that Natsuki would be unhappy with her overly respectful attitude, Fidelia no longer directly said that she wanted to apologize, but apologized in her heart. Although it is meaningless to apologize if it is not spoken, if it causes Natsuhime's displeasure and tells Fidelia that it will be another disaster, Fidelia, who doesn't know what to do, can only bury her desire to apologize in the bottom of her heart.

"It's strange, why don't you do it yet?" Fidelia had already noticed that the people around the carriage were becoming more and more scarce, and it was clear that Natsuki's purpose was to lure the stalkers into attacking.

"Huh, the breath is gone?"

Natsuki was slightly surprised, this was probably the first time Fidelia had seen Natsuki surprised.

"So, what are we going to do now? Are we going to track down the stalker?"

"No, it's not clear what they're following us for, so it's better to be cautious. ”

"Yes. ”

After a lot of hard work, the girls can finally start looking for an inn to use as a temporary base.

"After walking around the city like this, I've identified a few inns that can be used as a base. ”

Seeing Fidelia's somewhat strange expression, Xia Ji was a little puzzled.

"What's weird? Do you really think we're just going around in circles?"

"Ah, no, how can I say it, it's really you, Natsuhime-sama. ”

"It's not a big deal, don't you think wandering around without any destination won't make the stalker suspect that he's been discovered?"

"Yes. ”

A silence enveloped the carriage, and Natsuhime, who felt slightly embarrassed, coughed twice as if she was about to change the subject.

"Well, let's take a look at the results of these laps of wandering, I have found two nice inns in this city. ”

As she spoke, Natsuhime reported the inn she thought was good.

"One is an inn located at the gate of the city, with convenient transportation, there are more people passing by there, the advantage is that you can ask about all kinds of things, and the information is updated quickly, but these people generally talk about things outside the city. The other is a hotel located in the western block of Awaklin, because it is located in a residential area, so the people who come to the inn are basically eating, and most of the topics of conversation are about what is happening in the city, although it also provides accommodation, but the conditions are slightly inferior to this one at the gate of the city. ”

"Why don't you choose the one in the center of the city? ”

Natsuji's eyes widened.

"The luxury hotel?"

"Yes, that's the only place to live up to your status. ”

"Enough, no more. ”

Natsuki shook her head helplessly, and then began to educate Fidelia.

"You, let's find out where we stand, don't forget that we are refugees now, how can refugees afford to live in such a hotel? In addition, I am afraid that someone is secretly eyeing us, and it is definitely not good to be too conspicuous. Secondly, we have to solve the dragon incident here as soon as possible, after all, there is another dragon king waiting for us to solve in the south, so the choice of accommodation must naturally avoid trouble as much as possible, and the luxury hotel will only add to the trouble, there is no need to choose at all. ”

When Natsuki, who was educating Phidelia, looked up again, she found that Phidelia was staring at her with sparkling eyes, while at the same time, she was constantly muttering something.

When did this begin? How much did she listen to what she had just said? A sense of powerlessness took over Xia Ji's body.

"Hey, you're ......" Natsuki tried to reprimand, but stopped when she heard Phidelia's muttering.

"It's really Natsuhime-sama,"

"Huh?" came a strange sound from Natsuhime's mouth.

"It's worthy of Lord Natsuhime, I can see so much in a short period of time, it seems that I will never be able to reach the height of Lord Natsuhime in my life. ”

Isn't that a big deal?—Natsuki was a little confused, thinking that it was sarcastic herself, Natsuki looked at Fidelia again, but she couldn't see a hint of sarcasm in her expression, as if she was completely intoxicated by her own words.

Recognizing the fact that it was not satirizing herself, Xia Ji didn't know what to say.

"In short, well, there are only two hotels that can be selected at present, luxury hotels or something, not considered. ”

"So, Natsuhime-sama, which inn do you think is better?"

"I? I'm more inclined to the one at the city gate, because we need more information about the location of the seal outside the city. ”

"Then do it according to your judgment, Natsuhime-sama's ideas can never go wrong. ”

Phidelia bowed her head deeply.

Natsuhime didn't say anything more, and drove the carriage towards the inn she had been looking for.

A faint sense of uneasiness came to Xia Ji's heart, is this really good?

In the process of driving, Xia Ji's eyes kept resting on Fidelia, originally thinking that the two of them might be able to discuss a better result, but this child has no opinions of her own at all, or she refuses to speak out if she has opinions, and in her heart she seems to have regarded me as a god who cannot be disobeyed, right? However, I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes, but Xin is so obedient to me, if I make a wrong decision, I'm afraid no one will correct me.

Forget it, Xia Ji shook her head desperately, and now she only does what she thinks is right, if she really goes astray...... Now I can only pray that that will not happen.

The carriage stopped in an area lined with shops, and based on previous memories, Natsuhime quickly found the inn.

After settling the carriage, Natsuki gently patted off the dirt standing on her boots, which were surprisingly not completely covered despite the magic barrier protecting her entire body.

Climbing two steps, Natsuhime pushed open the double doors with both hands and walked into the store.

The windows are almost all closed, so the interior is a little dark, and those who are used to the bright light outside may feel like they can't see their fingers for a moment. However, this level of darkness is nothing to Natsuhime.

The interior is quite spacious, the first floor is the dining area, and the innermost part has a counter with a lot of wine. The door next to the counter should lead to the kitchen.

In the corner of the dining area, there is a staircase that turns up in the middle, and above it is supposed to be the guest room. You can see sparse guests scattered around several round tables, and to Natsuhime's surprise, almost all of them are fierce-looking men, and the atmosphere of the scene feels violent.

All eyes were focused on the two girls who entered the inn, and those eyes made the girls feel uncomfortable as if they were judging their heads. The only thing who didn't pay attention to them was a woman sitting in the corner, who just quietly looked at the badge in front of her eyes.

Such a hotel scene Natsuki had long been commonplace, but Phidelia could not get used to it, and the blonde girl frowned.

The girls' eyes turned to the counter, where stood a man in a filthy scarf, his sleeves rolled up to reveal two thick arms, on which several scars could be seen not only from the beast, but also from the sword.

Looks, it should belong to the fierce type, maybe there are women who like this kind of appearance, but obviously Fidelia is not that kind of woman.

"How many nights are you going to stay, girls?"

There was a muddy sound like a broken bell being smashed, and the man who was more like a bodyguard than the boss spoke in a polite tone, but his eyes were unceremoniously looking at the girls.

"Let's stay for three days for the time being, and I'll make up the payment after the deadline. ”

"Three nights? one gold coin per night, three gold coins in total. ”

The boss replied rudely.

The money was nothing to Natsuhime, who had received five thousand gold coins, and she took out three gold coins from her bag and placed them on the counter.

"Good. When Natsuki paid, the boss's expression became cheerful and his tone was less rude. "The only food is oatmeal and greens, and if you want meat, you need to add another gold coin, but sometimes you use bread instead of oatmeal. ”

"It's the key. The boss put a key on the counter, "The innermost room on the second floor is your room." ”

"Okay. Natsuki picked up the key and was about to turn around to leave, but was stopped by the boss again.

"I kindly remind you, pay attention, I can't control the people in the store, if there is anything abnormal, just shout for help, the security of this city is currently okay, generally speaking, when you hear someone calling for help, there will be guards to help. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I'll take note. ”

Natsuki took a step forward with Fidelia behind her—and suddenly a foot stretched out, as if to stop Natsuki's advance.

Natsuhime stopped, just moving her gaze at the man with his feet outstretched.

The man had an annoying flirtatious smile on his face, and everyone at the table had the same smile, staring at Natsuki and Phidelia with some lustful eyes.

You can feel the subtle voice of the boss behind her urging her to call for help, but Natsuhime doesn't do that.
