I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Bai looked around as if he had something to whisper to someone.

"Did you find anything?"

Kal'tsit leaned slightly toward the daylight.

"Do you have any money for lunch, Kal'tsit?"

"?"

Kal'tsit sat up straight and shook her head expressionlessly. She'd left all her belongings in that building, and afterwards, she only managed to get a ride by taking advantage of the daylight. Oh, and she'd also gotten a free set of arcane armor.

"Tsk, all I have here is pure gold. Can I pay for this at a restaurant?"

"Yan Kingdom does have some currency, but they probably won't accept it."

Bai Zhou revealed a look of miscalculation.

"How about we skip out on the bill first, and then return the money to them later?"

Kal'tsit sighed softly.

Why did she feel that this true dragon was becoming increasingly unreliable? Like a horse that had broken free of its reins, his thoughts were becoming wilder and wilder.

“I think it would be better if you stayed for the time being, and I went to exchange some Syracuse currency. What do you think of this suggestion?”

"...I don't find it interesting."

Daylight wore a bored expression.

He had thought about this many times, but every time he sneaked out of the palace to eat at a restaurant in the capital and tried to skip out on the bill, the imperial guards who were with him would jump out to act as chivalrous people and pay for his meal. Sometimes, before they even had a chance to do it, genuinely kind people would come and pay for his meal. He had gone to great lengths to swallow his pride and have some fun, but he didn't get any pleasure from it at all, which was very annoying.

Now that I'm out here, I finally have the chance to experience that joy, but then I run into a very serious person.

That won't do.

During the day, he looked at the lynx's cold, expressionless face.

He didn't like that unchanging expression.

It would be really interesting to make this face smile, or to make her look in other ways.

"I'm going to exchange money. Kal'tsit, how about you wait for me here?"

"That would be troublesome... no, you can't do it."

Kal'tsit was about to agree when she suddenly stopped talking.

Is it because I've been too idle these past few days that my mind isn't working properly?

Because of the strength and experience he displayed during the day, people naturally regarded him as an adult like themselves, but they overlooked the fact that he was just a twelve-year-old boy.

Sending children like that to this "peaceful" town to exchange glittering gold for money... isn't that like sending sheep to the wolves' mouths? Of course, she meant that those who wanted to do bad things were sheep.

Why not?

Seeing Kal'tsit's expression, Bai Zhou roughly guessed what she was thinking and asked her with a curious smile.

"Why can Kal'tsit go, but I can't?"

"You are too young. This city is not as glamorous as it appears."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she realized that she had fallen into a cognitive trap.

Although the other party was a teenager, he was a genuine dragon, and he certainly knew what a city was like.

But he is still just a child. Although he is powerful, does he really have the ability to observe people's hearts? As for the two mercenaries, he simply threw out a mine as payment, and that was only as payment for leading the way... Kal'tsit's first thought after hearing this was that he was being taken advantage of.

What if the other party didn't use violence, but instead used tricks to swindle a large amount of gold?

"Oh, you're worried that I don't understand the market value of Syracuse currency and that I'll be scammed, right, Mr. Kal'tsit?"

"That's true."

Bai Zhou pointed to the Ruperts in the store who were dressed abnormally.

"But aren't you worried that these guys might attack me?"

"..."

The people here aren't just ordinary citizens having a meal. Don't be fooled by their current peaceful and lively conversation; those three tables alone house three different families, and a fight could break out at any moment. And when that happens, Bai Zhou, deep in the heart of the chaos, certainly won't stand idly by…

Kal'tsit felt like she was caught in a complicated loop.

No! That's not right!

You're so silly, really.

Kal'tsit took a big gulp of juice to clear her head.

Why must we assume that the incident occurred during the daytime?

Bai Zhou isn't one to cause trouble. Even if he's left here, as long as the wolf cubs don't provoke him, nothing will happen. Even if the cubs start fighting, he'll most likely just sit on the sidelines enjoying his juice. Why not just walk a little faster and resolve this matter quickly?

"You're not someone who likes chaos."

"Ah, that's true."

Bored during the day, I picked up a glass of orange juice and took a sip.

As expected, it was far too simplistic to think that knocking Kal'tsit out would work.

Forget it, I'll find another opportunity to let her experience what pleasure is next time.

"Then hurry back, Mr. Kal'tsit."

He handed a piece of red gold to Kal'tsit, ignoring her troubled look, and raised his orange juice to her with a smile as if to toast her.

"You really are..."

How petty!

Do you really want to experience what it's like to skip out on your bill?

Kal'tsit reluctantly accepted the crimson gold from the table, then slowly rose and left.

They started using overt tactics when their plan failed.

He openly and honestly took out a piece of pure gold, not caring at all about showing off in the eyes of others.

I need to go and come back quickly; hopefully, no one will be foolish enough to follow me.

"What a pity, Kal'tsit. Why did you have to be so clever?"

Watching Kal'tsit's departing figure, Bai Zhou muttered to himself with a bored expression.

"No, if she had been stupid from the start, she wouldn't have caught my attention."

But thinking about it carefully, the way the clever Kal'tsit suddenly becomes silly... is actually quite amusing.

but.

Bai Zhan swept his gaze across the surrounding guests, raised his hand, and tossed a stack of pure gold onto the table.

He then held up his juice and shouted to the crowd:

"Hey everyone, let's drink to our hearts' content! The drinks are on me today!"

The constant howling of wolves echoed from the small restaurant, causing passersby to warily distance themselves from the area.

"..."

Why are you outside?

When Kal'tsit returned from exchanging money at the town's bank, she saw Daybreak standing outside from afar. Sensing something was wrong, she quickly walked over to Daybreak's side.

"A little slow, Kal'tsit. The matter has been resolved."

He stretched and yawned during the day.

Those few pieces of gold practically bought out the entire small restaurant, which wasn't doing very well. The owner not only personally poured him juice but also saw him out with great concern. As for the family thugs? Someone treated them to drinks, and the brief moment of joy was enough to make them temporarily set aside the minor rifts between their families and enjoy the happy time together.

"You really are..."

Kal'tsit has limited funds at her disposal when traveling. It's not that she has few assets, but rather that her assets are too scattered, spread all over the world, and her total assets are still considerable. However, she may not have funds at each destination, and she doesn't have the ability to carry large amounts of cash, so the funds she can use for each trip are extremely limited.

Therefore, after hearing that Bai Zhou had used a pile of red gold to knock out the group of people, she didn't know what to say.

Kal'tsit glanced at Bai Zhou, who was grinning mischievously, and silently hung the money bag containing Syracuse coins she was holding on her waist.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go, Kal'tsit."

How delightful it is to steal a moment of leisure from my busy schedule on the 17th!

"Syracist clothing style... What's this? Socks? Aren't they too long?"

"But this dress... oh, it's quite pretty."

Standing at the entrance of a clothing store, gazing at the new outfit in the display case, Bai Zhou praised it with delight.

Once Bai Zhou sheds his armor and dons civilian clothes, he loses the maturity and composure he displays in battle, becoming just like a child, full of curiosity and enthusiasm for new things.

"Hey, Kal'tsit, want to try it on? I think it would look really good on you."

“Your Majesty, we don’t have much free time to adjust our appearance. For me, clothes just need to be comfortable.”

Kal'tsit glanced at the turquoise dress on the counter, her interest waning as she tried to rekindle the daytime heat.

"Overly bulky clothing will hinder normal movement. You don't want to be carrying someone who can't even run around."

"What a pity. This light blue color suits Kal'tsit very well."

Bai Zhou glanced at Kal'tsit, who was dressed in black robes, and stood up regretfully.

"Then, shall we go... Your Majesty?"

Before Kal'tsit could finish speaking, she saw that Daylight had already run into the clothing store.

"His Majesty?"

When Kal'tsit went in, Daybreak was already waving at her with a package in hand.

"Although I can't wear it during the trip, there will always be times when I can rest. I'll try it on then."

"This kind of unnecessary expenditure..."

"How can it be an unnecessary expense?"
