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

During the day, he took out a roll of Victorian pounds and handed it to him.

"...What an idiot."

The thug didn't stand on ceremony; he stuffed the money into his pocket and called to his two companions to leave.

"Hey guys, let's go! We've got a fool treating us, let's go have some fun somewhere."

"Wow! Not bad."

"You're really lucky."

Three thugs patted him on the shoulder as they passed by during the day.

Watching the thugs leave, Bai Zhou walked over to Fei Lin, who was still standing there.

Are you alright?

"Thank you, sir."

She avoided looking at Bai Zhou, probably still recovering from the violence just now.

"It's good that you're alright."

Bai Zhou looked at her appearance.

Her clothes were a little disheveled, revealing her white shoulders.

There was a bruise the size of a fingernail on his pale neck, as if he had been beaten yesterday.

"……that……"

Seemingly sensing Bai Zhou's gaze, Felin shrank back and raised her hand to pull her robe up to cover the bruise.

"Um, sorry."

"No, it's okay."

"Hmm...it was a bit rude, though."

Bai Zhou looked at her, his tone hesitant for a moment.

"...If...if it were you..."

Looking at Bai Zhou's still youthful and handsome face, and thinking about his behavior just now, Fei Lin seemed to understand something.

"what?"

Bai Zhou was even more confused. He hadn't asked anything, so what was the other person saying?

Then, Phil's actions only added to his confusion and panic.

"Wait! What are you doing? Why are you pulling down my pants?!"

Bai Zhou raised his hand to stop Fei Lin's absurd behavior.

"Hmm? You don't like it this way? That's okay, you'll like it soon enough."

She had nothing to repay him for his help, so she could only do as he wished and help him quickly enter adult life.

What are you saying?

Bai Zhou pushed her away and quickly backed away.

"Hmm... do you think I'm unclean? Although I'm not exactly clean... I do brush my teeth, but would you accept it if I used my mouth?"

"No... what are you saying, 'dirty words' and 'mouth'? I..."

Before Bai Zhou could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out from behind him.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

A Few Things About Returning to Fog City (Part 2)

"Kal'tsit... Kal'tsit!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Bai Zhou felt as if he had been granted a pardon, shoving the hand that was gripping his clothes with Felin's, stuffing a roll of money into it, and then quickly running towards Kal'tsit.

"Hmm...so it turns out...I was overthinking it."

Felin glanced at Kal'tsit, who was frowning and glaring at her, and sighed.

Whether it's looks or temperament... there's no comparison.

The only thing that could offer me some comfort was the fact that I was heavier than the other person.

Kal'tsit!

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

Kal'tsit withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Bai Zhou, who was running towards her.

"This is so strange, Kal'tsit, let's go!"

Bai Zhou was somewhat bewildered by Fei Lin's behavior, and now he just wanted to get away from this strange woman as soon as possible.

"Well……"

"Your Highness must explain this matter to me clearly."

Kal'tsit, who had originally intended to question the woman about why she had lured the child, saw Bai Zhou's flustered appearance and reluctantly followed him away.

"..."

Watching Bai Zhou's figure disappear around the corner, Felin gripped the money in her hand tightly and turned to walk into the darker interior.

"Blah blah blah..."

"That's settled, Kal'tsit."

After telling Kal'tsit about his act of bravery, Daylight asked another question, still puzzled.

"Kal'tsit, do you know why that woman did that kind of thing? Also, what kind of profession is this *Victorian swear word* they're talking about?"

"...You didn't use force, but instead used money to make them leave on their own... As expected of you."

After listening to Bai Zhou's words, Kal'tsit shook her head slightly and sighed.

"That woman is a prostitute... like the courtesans in Yan Kingdom. They exchange money for sex with men."

"Her behavior... probably means she considers you one of their guests as well."

"Ah...I see."

Hearing the meaning of this word from Kal'tsit, Bai Zhou showed no sign of disdain or disgust.

"No one has it easy."

"If they didn't lack the ability and resources, who would do such undignified things?"

During the day, the scene of first seeing that film flashed through Bai Zhou's mind.

She looked at the students splashing in the puddles on the street, her eyes filled with envy and longing. If everything had been normal in her family, she might be doing what she loves right now, chatting happily with people she likes.

“It’s good that you can treat them as equals.”

It seems I've instilled the right values ​​in him.

Seeing the bright daylight made Kal'tsit feel a little happier.

"Let's go back, Your Highness. We still need to book a bathhouse this afternoon."

"Ah."

■

The bathhouse in Fog City is just like its name suggests: a misty white fog fills the entire bathroom, and the cool cobblestone floor is a little slippery to walk on.

Immersed in the warm water, Kal'tsit's gaze fell on Daylight.

The boy's growth stabilized at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and his handsome face easily attracted the attention of young girls.

His physique has also become tall and muscular, and it's clear that he's been working out lately.

The dark dragon tail reflected a glossy black light in the water and lamplight, like a treasure piled up with countless precious stones.

Everything about a boy is wonderful.

However, his azure eyes were somewhat unfocused at the moment, as if he was lost in thought because he was too concerned about something.

"Your Highness? What are you thinking about?"

Kal'tsit asked a question.

"Well……"

Hearing the call, Bai Zhou gently shook his head, snapping out of his daze.

"Kal'tsit, that..."

Looking at Kal'tsit, Bai Zhou suddenly thought of Felin, who had the exact same hair color as her.

"Your Highness?"

"I was thinking... about that film from before..."

"How did she do what she wanted to do to me?"

I was incredibly curious during the day!

Those thugs, and that Film, were all talking about the adults' pleasurable affairs...

"Kal'tsit, what are some of the more enjoyable things adults do?"

"..."

"The things between adults... are..."

Kal'tsit raised her hand, half-clenched it, and made a sliding motion up and down.

"Oh!"

He understood during the day, but not completely.

“That Film also said things to me like ‘my body is dirty’ and ‘using my mouth’…what does that mean?”

"...She also told you these things?"
