Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Chris was stunned. What was this kid saying?

Shouldn't we be beaming with joy, offering heartfelt words of gratitude, and truly acknowledging Ronan's contributions?

I was thinking of intervening, but after thinking about it carefully, returning the gift seemed like a good idea.

So she stopped and listened quietly.

"Yes, a return gift. Come to think of it, I don't think I helped you much in that world, and you were always the one taking care of me."

“Cele’s said that only children take adults’ care for granted, and I’m not a child anymore.”

"Compared to Vlamé, I am already an adult."

"So, please allow me to repay you in any way I can, but I don't mean cooking..."

For Frillie, cooking is an instinctive and spontaneous act, a way to experience the emotion of "love".

Although she didn't have many special feelings, just a kind of self-satisfied joy, it changed her to some extent.

Just as the two were talking, Alice, who was not far away, overheard their conversation.

Her eyes lit up, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and she quickly stepped forward and said:

"Yes, hero, you have saved this world after all. Please allow me to repay you in any way I can."

"Consider this a plea from someone you have saved."

Ronan was pondering what Frilian would give in return, or what he himself wanted in return.

Hearing this voice suddenly, and realizing there was another person, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

I clearly refused, so why am I coming back? And the person I'm supposed to save...

If you disregard her status as a princess, she is just a child.

How could he so harshly reject a child's plea?

Alright, let's all do it together.

Chapter 229, Reunion, A Temporary Epilogue

At the same time, on the nearby streets.

"Meow meow!"

Megumi's pet, Mame-no-suke, suddenly bristled with fur.

As if sensing something, the black cat quickly bit Huihui's trouser leg with its teeth, trying to make her stop.

Huihui was on her way home when she heard the sound and felt a slight tug, so she turned around.

"What's wrong?"

He crouched down and asked.

"Meow meow."

Mame-no-suke can't speak, so he can only use his barking to warn Megumin that there might be danger near their home.

It sensed the presence of its true self, and was absolutely certain that it had come looking for it.

Unfortunately... Huihui can't understand animal sounds.

"Sorry, Mamenosuke, I don't know what you're talking about. If you're hungry... there's grilled squid over there, would you like some?"

She pointed to a nearby stall and asked.

Thanks to Ronan's guidance today, I earned 40,000 Eris. Not only did I save up enough for my travel expenses, but I can finally treat myself to some snacks.

After saying that, without waiting for Mame no Suke's agreement or not, he walked straight toward the stall.

Along the way, he wiped the drool that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, seemingly a little hungry.

"Meow!"

Mame-no-suke let out a desperate cry: Why can't humans understand my language?

Forget it, to avoid any accidents, it's best to slip away first.

Just a few minutes later, when Megumin returned with two skewers of golden, crispy squid, she suddenly discovered that Mame-no-suke had vanished without a trace.

"Huh?"

……

"Have you seen a black cat? It's thin and small..."

Huihui is randomly picking passersby on the street to ask about the whereabouts of Mame-no-suke.

She didn't understand what had happened; he had disappeared in just a few minutes.

I couldn't find her when I got home, and my older sister didn't come back either.

There was no other way, since they were to set off the next day and she had to go out into the street to ask around in order to avoid missing the carriage.

This question...

"Oh, beautiful lady, you seem quite lonely. Do you need someone to keep you company?"

"Beautiful...beautiful? Really?"

The sound of two people talking came from the alleyway on the street. Huihui immediately recognized the voice and stopped in her tracks.

Peeking out, I saw a man and a woman pinning each other against the wall.

No... it should be an old man molesting a young girl.

Unfortunately, she knew both of them: Jesta, the high priest of the Axis Church, and her classmate and friend, Youyou.

She's the girl she was corresponding with before.

When a man tried to strike up a conversation with her, Youyou nervously clutched the hem of her skirt.

Her face flushed as red as a ripe apple, with a shy look that seemed to say, "Oh, what are you saying?"

He said I'm beautiful.

He was about to accept Jesta's invitation to dinner.

next second.

Huihui couldn't help but click her tongue.

When Youyou heard the voice, she turned her head and saw that it was Huihui.

Her expression froze on her face.

"Huh—!?"

……

"No, that's not how it is, Huihui, let me explain!"

Youyou's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She never expected that such a misunderstanding would happen after only a few days in this city.

She just wanted to make friends, regardless of age or gender.

Jesta rubbed his dark circles and hissed:

"That's right, Ms. Huihui, you're too harsh."

"I just saw a cute girl standing on the street, looking helpless, so I wanted to recruit her into the church."

"I never expected her to be your friend... What a coincidence!"

Fate my foot! If I had arrived a moment later, I might already have a child.

This old man is a pervert, just like Cecily.

It is said that his motto was, "As long as there's a hole, even orcs are fine," which gives you an idea of ​​how extreme his tastes were.

Getting a punch from him would be too lenient.

Huihui glanced sideways at Jesta:

"Have you said enough? If you have, I'm going to take you to the police station."

"Youyou, really, how could you trust someone so easily?"

"Luckily I was here this time. If it weren't for me, and something really happened, how could you face your father, who is the clan chief?"

As she spoke, she poked Youyou's forehead with her finger.

Youyou lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong:

"That's a bit of an exaggeration... By the way, Huihui, what are you doing here?"

She tried to change the subject because she felt increasingly embarrassed to talk about it.

"It's not serious at all. You have no idea what I've been through these past few days. An older sister has been holding me every night while I sleep."

"As for why I'm here, I lost my Mame-no-Suke. Have you seen it?"

"And I'm warning you, High Priest Jesta, don't come near my friends again, or my explosive magic won't be to be trifled with!"

As Huihui spoke, she threw her cloak aside with an air of dominance, her eyes flashing red, displaying the madness unique to the Crimson Demon Clan.

Jestan nudged his lips, saying, "Listing all these conditions is no better than just killing him."

He crossed his arms, adopting a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude:

“I’m sorry, I can’t do that, because the doctrine of the Axis religion is—Thou art not to be patient, but to enjoy the present moment to the fullest.”

"Miss Huihui, you may have misunderstood me."

He tried to put on a serious expression and casually smoothed his messy hair.

Huihui turned her head, thinking he was about to say something serious.

The result... turned out to be this:

"It's not that I like lolis, it's just that the person I like happens to be a loli. You should be able to understand this feeling."

"Why don't green peppers taste good? Because they're bitter. Bitterness is the original sin, and cuteness is also the original sin."

"How can you blame me for the sin of being lovable?"
