The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"Don't you really cherish your companions? If you insist on leaving this place, I will kill this person."

　"Hey, woman, let's talk this out. I don't know them." Ashina Yelü felt he needed to defend himself.

　Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi immediately frowned. "What? You don't know them? Then why are you eating with them? And what are your identities?"

　Ashina Yelü was truly in a difficult situation. He knew that the people of Lingzhou hated the Turks with a passion, and if he rashly revealed that he was the sixth prince of the Turks, then only death awaited him.

　Volume 1: Side Story Ends - We're Good People

　To this day, neither Li Qingyi nor Ashina Yelu can remember what they were thinking back then that led to this situation.

　Ashina Yelü twisted his arm slightly, trying to break free from Li Qingyi's grasp. However, Li Qingyi had already anticipated Ashina Yelü's intention. As soon as he exerted force, Li Qingyi twisted Ashina Yelü's arm in the opposite direction with a sharp twist of her wrist. The pain of dislocated tendons made Ashina Yelü gasp, and he had no choice but to temporarily abandon his escape plan. Li Qingyi smugly scolded, "You treacherous dog, behave yourself. Be careful, swords have no eyes. If you dare to move again, next time I'll just cut your throat open."

　Upon hearing this, Ashina Yelü shifted his body slightly but eventually calmed down. However, despite the back-and-forth struggle between Li Qingyi and Ashina Yelü, the young girl never glanced in their direction, as if Ashina Yelü's life or death had nothing to do with them. In truth, they had nothing to do with each other. After filling their stomachs, the young girl and Lanmei were slowly walking outside. Li Qingyi knew that if she didn't do something, the young girl and Lanmei would leave.

　In desperation, Li Qingyi disregarded everything else and kicked Ashina Yelü hard in the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground. This was to attract the young girl's attention. Once the young girl and Lanmei were drawn over by the sound of Ashina Yelü kneeling, Li Qingyi shouted sternly, "Speak! Who are you? Why did you pretend to be captured by me and then escape from the prison? If you don't tell me, I will kill him immediately!"

　This move did indeed attract the young girl's attention, but after glancing at Li Qingyi, she then looked at Ashina Yelu on the ground.

　When the little girl finally looked up, she happened to see Lan Mei's emerald green pupils. The little girl blinked, her eyes seemingly asking Lan Mei what this upright creature was saying. Lan Mei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. The two of them looked at Li Qingyi as if she were an idiot, and judging from the little girl's silly expression, she really didn't care at all what Li Qingyi was saying.

　Seeing that the young girl and Lanmei thought she really didn't dare to kill Ashina Yelü and acted with such confidence, Li Qingyi didn't hesitate to bring her sword closer to Ashina Yelü's throat. Even so, she still didn't dare to actually kill him.

　"Do you really not care whether your companion lives or dies?"

　The sword's sharpness brought Ashina Yelü's throat to within a short distance of the blade, yet a bloody gash appeared on his neck. Judging from the color of the gash, it seemed that Ashina Yelü could bleed from his throat with just a slight effort of breathing. Ashina Yelü panicked. Initially, he thought Li Qingyi would be wary of the young girl's abilities and thus wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but now it seemed that Li Qingyi knew less than he did. Otherwise, if he were to kill him directly and provoke the young girl, the entire Lingzhou City would truly be lost.

　Ashina Yelü realized that his previous actions had failed to bind him to the young girl's side, so he could only cry out in panic, "Immortal, Immortal, please save me! If you save me, I will do anything. I promise you, everyone in Lingzhou City will be yours, no, the entire Great Qian Dynasty will be yours too."

　Feeling a tremor from the area binding his wrists, Ashina Yelü knew his words had worked and immediately threatened Li Qingyi, saying, "Hehe, little lady, you don't know yet, do you? The person in front of you is no ordinary person, but a celestial being. You know, a celestial being's methods are more powerful than you can imagine. This little celestial being has the ability to devour the heavens and split the earth. If you obediently release me, that's fine, but if the celestial being blames you, the entire Lingzhou City will not be able to withstand the celestial being's wrath."

　Li Qingyi naturally didn't believe in the existence of any immortals, but the story of the young girl smashing through the prison wall was true. She also couldn't verify whether what Ashina Yelu said was false, which made Li Qingyi waver slightly about what she had just heard. After all, the horns and tails of the young girl and Lanmei were too conspicuous. It was fine if she hadn't thought about it that way, but thinking about it carefully, perhaps they really were man-eating monsters. Moreover, even if the young girl wasn't as Ashina Yelu said, if she used the ability to smash through walls to fight her, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

　After thinking for a few seconds, Li Qingyi cautiously moved two steps toward the window so that she could escape quickly if anything unexpected happened. Seeing that Li Qingyi was a little scared, Ashina Yelu guessed that Li Qingyi did not know the true form of the young girl, so he immediately pressed his advantage.

　"Hahaha, scared now, little lady? This is your last chance. Make the most of it. If you serve the immortal well, you'll be rewarded handsomely in the future."

　"Shut up, or I'll kill you!" Li Qingyi just wanted to leave quickly and mobilize the Lingzhou army to guard against any unforeseen circumstances. But thinking of Ashina Yelu's earlier threat to feed the entire city of Lingzhou to the young girl in front of her, she was filled with rage. She kicked Ashina Yelu in the back, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt. Ashina Yelu roared, "You wait, you bitch! I'll have the immortals eat you first!"

　"Then I'll kill you first." Li Qingyi didn't want to get entangled with Ashina Yelü any longer, so she raised her sword and was about to chop down Ashina Yelü's neck.

　"It's not tasty if it doesn't eat people!"

　This sentence alone wouldn't matter, but when interspersed in Ashina Yelü's words, it proves that Ashina Yelü was stalling for time. This also proves that the young girl and Lanmei are not with Ashina Yelü at all. Li Qingyi couldn't help but wonder if she had made a mistake. Ashina Yelü, however, asked in confusion, "Why don't you eat humans? Didn't you eat many people when you were on the grassland? Why are you saying such things?"

　Ashina Yelü had so much to say. He had seen what the little girl's true form looked like and witnessed her appetite. He simply couldn't believe that she didn't eat people. But at this moment, he was speechless. The little girl obediently shook her head. "It's not tasty. You'll get sick."

　Ashina Yelü, who had been standing straight for so long, finally bent over, his knees giving way and he knelt down with a thud. Li Qingyi glanced at the dazed little girl and Lanmei, then at the lifeless Ashina Yelü, and tentatively said to the little girl, "You really aren't accomplices?"

　"What's an accomplice? Is it tasty?"

　Li Qingyi was visibly taken aback. "It's not food, it's not food." After saying that, Li Qingyi looked at Ashina Yelü and asked, "Then why are you following behind them? Are you planning to kidnap them?"

　Ashina Yelü glanced at the young girl and said weakly, "Me, abducted them? Do you know what they are? No, you probably don't even know who I am. Heh, I thought I would be safe here, but I didn't expect to run into these two devils and get caught by you."

　"Are you perhaps the chieftain of some Turkic tribe?"

　"I am the sixth son of the Turkic Khan."

　"I fled here because of those two?" Ashina Yelü's mindset had changed. He knew that if the people of Lingzhou knew that he was the son of the Turkic Khan, he would not be able to live comfortably here.

　"The two of them? You're not lying to me because of these two people, are you?"

　"Lie to you? Humph, why would I lie to you? Do you even know what those two really are?"

　"Why do I need to know? I just need to know that you're not a good person. Wait, what you just said means that they're not human, but some kind of spirit or deity?"

　Ashina Yelü laughed maniacally as if he had gone mad. "Of course! Do you think that little guy's horns and tail are just for show? Do you know what kind of monster she is? A giant dragon hundreds of meters long, capable of devouring an entire tent in one bite. And that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that wherever she appears, there is plague, an incurable plague. Our royal court was wiped out by the plague. In just one month, hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes were reduced to only five people. It was because she appeared deep in the grasslands that I had no choice but to flee here."

　Ashina Yelü was talking non-stop about what he had encountered before. He spoke vividly and didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, the expressions of the young girl and Lanmei didn't change. From these details, Ashina Yelü was probably not lying. When Ashina Yelü mentioned that he encountered a large army with five people, Li Qingyi immediately thought of the previous retreat incident.

　"No wonder the Turkic army suddenly retreated a while ago. It turns out that the two of them sabotaged the rear. In that case, I should thank them. Wait, you said that the Turkic rear is already plagued by disease. My father has already gone there."

　"Hahaha, it seems I still came out ahead. And you should be glad that the two of them didn't reveal their true forms here, otherwise we would definitely have taken Lingzhou City this time. But you don't need to be sad, you'll see your father soon."

　"You disloyal, unjust, and unfilial bastard! My father was Li Jing, a great general of the current dynasty. How could he have died there?"

　"Hahaha, I just want to live. You haven't seen the black fog that blots out the sky, nor have you seen the miserable state of those afflicted with the plague. The Turkic Khan is stubborn and will not listen to my advice. Given the severity of the plague as I know it, he would probably be dead by now. As for your father, hahahaha, he must be dead by now."

　"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

　Even on the day of the change of imperial power, Li Qingyi had never been this nervous. Seeing that Ashina Yelü was about to say something, Li Qingyi tore off a piece of curtain and tried to stuff it into Ashina Yelü's mouth. Unexpectedly, Ashina Yelü took the opportunity to bite Li Qingyi's hand, and then burst out with the last of his strength to knock Li Qingyi away and rush towards the young girl, trying to force the girl to turn back into her original form. Li Qingyi had already lost strength when she heard Ashina Yelü's prediction that her father was dead, and Ashina Yelü had taken the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

　Li Qingyi immediately understood what he was about to do. In the heat of the moment, if she wanted to keep Ashina Yelü alive while also protecting the young girl, Li Qingyi didn't have a good solution. But weighing the pros and cons, Li Qingyi directly raised her sword and threw it at Ashina Yelü's back. The sword pierced through his body instantly, and Ashina Yelü coughed up blood and fell straight down like a sleepy baby. Although it was impossible to guarantee whether this so-called sixth prince would live or die afterward, at least the young girl didn't have any major reactions, and there wouldn't be a plague outbreak in Lingzhou.

　Bright red blood stained the floor. Panting heavily, Li Qingyi immediately ordered someone to notify the governor's mansion. This was the first time she had actually killed someone. Even though she had heard her father describe killing many times, Li Qingyi felt her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

　After calming down, Li Qingyi chased away the unrelated people to prevent any strange rumors from spreading. After doing this, Li Qingyi turned around and only saw Lanmei's figure. The little girl was no longer with Lanmei. Li Qingyi looked anxiously at Lanmei, who pointed to the side of Li Qingyi. Li Qingyi looked and saw the little girl poking Ashina Yelu intermittently. Then, as if she had gotten tired of playing, she returned to Lanmei's side.

　Seeing the young girl and Lanmei about to leave hand in hand, Li Qingyi immediately blocked their way. "You..." Li Qingyi was about to say something, but she couldn't think of anything appropriate to say. "You, um, I, I didn't mean to lie to you before. No, who exactly are you people?"

　The little girl tilted her head cutely. Lanmei glanced at her and said hesitantly, "She should be a good person, right?"

　"Good guy?"

　"Yes, we paid for our meal!"

　Li Qingyi looked at Lan Mei's serious face. Although paying for a meal is a matter of course, does that make her a good person? Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment. In fact, it seems that she does. Compared to those bad guys who dine and dash, isn't she a good person?

　Soon, the governor's men arrived at the restaurant, and dozens of soldiers surrounded it. The accompanying doctor examined Ashina Yelü's body. Fortunately, Li Qingyi's sword hadn't pierced his heart, but his lungs had been damaged. He was likely to survive, but starting a fire might be a problem. However, this wasn't Li Qingyi's concern; as long as he was alive...

　Okay, as for how to handle it, that's Li Jingming's business.

　"Hey, where are that girl and her sister?"

　“Miss Li, that child and her sister just left the restaurant. I think they were just customers, so I let them go. Look, she's eating candied hawthorn over there.”

　Li Qingyi looked out the window and saw the little girl grabbing a handful of candied cherries and pouring them into her mouth. These cherries, drizzled with dairy syrup, not only lost their astringent taste but also became even more sweet and sour. There were many vendors selling snacks and treats along the way, and they all busied themselves preparing after seeing the little girl. Basically, all the food vendors in the market knew the little girl. They had become a little richer these past few days thanks to her, so even if the little girl was just passing by, the stall owners would enthusiastically give her some food.

　Li Qingyi thought this was fine. What did it matter what the little girl was? As long as she continued like this, what did it matter if she was a spirit or a monster? Besides, the most important thing to deal with right now was the matter with the Turks. With that in mind, Li Qingyi left the restaurant with the people from the governor's mansion.

　Volume 1: 404 - Stranded in the fortified city of Val

　"Is it really okay for us to leave like this?"

　After dealing with the Ark Dragon, it was already the morning of the next day. The woman hadn't woken up, whether because she hadn't slept for a long time or because she was too tired. However, since Frilian had already obtained the magic book, Frilian and Philen had no reason to stay there. So the five of them found a carriage to the fortress city of Val and left.

　“Telling her the location of Aureol is the best way. With her abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to go to Aureol. I don’t want to end this journey hastily because of this. Of course, if someone develops wide-area teleportation magic, it would be a better choice, but now it’s up to her to decide.”

　As she spoke, Frilian handed the spellbook to Philon. "Well, can you see it clearly?" Frilian opened her arms to Philon and turned her body a few times. Philon looked at Frilian's body, then looked down at the spellbook, and nodded slightly. "You can see it, but this spell doesn't seem that interesting."

　"I'm sorry, my body doesn't mean anything."

　Philen understood why Frilian said that, but she didn't think so in her heart. Then she turned to look at the little girl and Lanmei. The little girl was lying rather brazenly in Lanmei's arms, her slender arms and white legs draped over Lanmei's arms. Her blue and white top was turned up a little, revealing her fair belly underneath. The little girl seemed to be dreaming of eating something, with a strand of transparent thread hanging from her mouth. Below the thread, a small patch of Lanmei's skirt was already wet.

　Lanmei noticed it too, and then smiled as she lifted the little girl's skirt and carefully wiped her mouth. Only then did Philon discover that the little girl's tail and back were connected by a patch of fine white-gold dragon scales. However, this area was usually covered by the skirt and no one would see it.

　"But both Hikari and Miss Aran have such beautiful bodies."

　Thinking of this, Philen blushed and immediately shook her head to banish the thought from her mind. Seeing Philen suddenly shaking her head while experimenting with magic, Hughtar asked curiously, "What's wrong, Philen?"

　Reminded by Shutark, Philen subconsciously glanced in Shutark's direction, her gaze sweeping over his body from top to bottom. When her eyes landed on Shutark's lower body, Philen calmly remarked, "So small!"

　"It's not that small!"

　Shutark loudly defended his dignity as a man, but he didn't expect that his loud shouts would almost wake the little girl. "Ugh~" The little girl turned over, and groggily reached out her little hands to hug Lanmei's arm. Her slender white-gold tail wrapped even tighter around Lanmei's calf. Philen couldn't help but glare at Shutark. From Philen's eyes, you could see that Philen was blaming Shutark for speaking so loudly. Shutark innocently shrank his neck. The Melalus, who were lying in the corner, didn't seem to notice anything. After shaking their heads, they lay down and fell asleep again.

　Frilian didn't seem to care about any of that. She took out a map and glanced at it. "Our next destination is the fortress city of Val. After passing through Val, we'll continue north along Ang Street, and then we'll reach a city called Granat Territory..."

　“The fortress city of Val, my master brought me here before, but that was more than ten years ago.”

　When the coachman, who was driving the carriage, heard Hugh Tarek say that he had been to the fortress city of Val, he cracked his whip and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the guests had been to Val. However, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for the guests to come to this city today."

　Upon hearing the coachman's words, Philon curiously poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "Why do you say that, sir? Does this mean that outsiders are no longer allowed to enter Val Town?"

　The coachman whistled to urge the horses to stay on the road, and said with a smile, "That's not the reason either. I heard from the guards in Val Town that the demons are very active in the northern kingdoms, so no one is allowed to pass through the outpost now."

　"Yes, and they said this martial law will likely last for a long time, so if the guests want to pass through the outpost, they'll have to take another route."

　To avoid unnecessary trouble, when boarding the carriage, Frilian dressed the young girl and Lanmei in hooded mage robes like Philon's. Lanmei was fine, but the young girl kept trying to pull the robe off when she woke up. Although the robe wasn't uncomfortable, it prevented the young girl's tail from moving properly. If she stretched her tail out, it would pull on her horns, causing her to lean backward. Moreover, the length of the hood obstructed her vision, which made the young girl very unhappy.

　However, Hugh Tark said that there were delicious strawberry sundaes in Val Town, which made the young girl resist the urge to tear off her robe and follow behind them. But before eating the strawberry sundaes, they needed to go to the outpost to apply for a permit to leave the town. And just as the groom said, the outpost no longer allowed anyone to leave Val Town. Moreover, Philen felt that the other party's attitude was somewhat rude, whether it was her imagination or not.

　"Yes, his attitude was indeed very bad, but he is an excellent guard. He is strict with outsiders; that's how guards who protect the city should be."

　Philen watched Frilian walking ahead and wondered if it was just her imagination, but Frilian seemed to be walking with a light step, and the tone of her last sentence was also a bit high. Shutark, on the other hand, didn't notice any of this and was eating the soybean flour bread he had just bought, while the little girl was already captivated by the street food.

　According to the signs along the street, this street is one of the two most bustling commercial streets in Val Town, with a large number of shops selling food, lodging, weapons, equipment, accessories and tools. When Frilian and Philon returned from the outpost, the little girl and Lanmei were still here, devouring the snacks. Because the little girl eats very quickly, she usually just grabs and eats whatever looks delicious, and by the time the stall owner notices, she has already eaten everything.

　The stall owner, who was momentarily stunned, was about to call for the nearest guards to arrest the sisters who were trying to dine and dash when he saw the little girl scatter a handful of coins. The stall owner immediately put on a warm and enthusiastic smile. When he looked closely, the little girl had already run to the next stall.

　When Frilian met up with the little girl, the little girl was happily munching on fruit. She was always like this. It wasn't that she didn't care about leaving Val Town, or rather, nothing could stop her. Frilian briefly told Lanmei about the guard's reply.

　"That's how it is. Val Town is quite safe, so let's stay here for now. Finally, we have time to study the magic that Xiao Guang used. After putting our luggage at the inn, we'll go to the magic shop." Frilian could guess what expression Philen was on her face without even thinking, but that was the truth, leaving Frilian with no choice but to grit her teeth and spread her hands. "What's wrong? I can't do anything if the outpost won't let us go. Okay, let's call it a day. I'll go book an inn."

　"So, what do we do next?"

　As soon as Shutark uttered those words, he felt as if he had said something pointless. Then he turned around and saw Philen looking at him like he was an insect. Shutark immediately shut his mouth. Philen was about to say something when he suddenly heard the stall owner next to him say, "I heard that the sea route has also been closed recently."

　"It seems the armies of the northern kingdoms are also about to launch a campaign. Judging from this, the outpost will probably not be open for at least two years."

　"That means there's simply no way to do business here."

　Philon looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fruit stall. The little girl was standing in front of the stall, holding a watermelon and eating it. Her way of eating watermelon was different from ordinary people. Usually, people would cut the watermelon with a knife and eat it directly, or they would cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon. The little girl was different. Lan Mei quickly peeled off all the watermelon rinds and let the little girl eat it directly. Eating it like this was certainly very enjoyable, but a problem arose when she was halfway through.

　If the watermelon rind were still intact, it would be even clearer. The way the little girl ate it was like burying her head directly into the watermelon. As a result, juice was splashing everywhere, and she had no table manners at all. Her face was even covered with watermelon seeds and sticky watermelon juice. The little girl quickly ate the watermelon clean, and naturally, she bought the rest of the watermelon.

　"It's delicious~ OvO"

　Although it was a little strange that the little girl's face was all dirty from eating, but her clothes were clean, it was time to think about it. Considering Frillian's personality and the information she had just heard, Philen knew that if she didn't do something, they might have to stay in this place for a long time. However, in her haste, she really couldn't think of any good solutions.

　"Well, instead of racking your brains here, why don't we go get something to eat? I know a tavern that has great desserts. My chef took me here before, so I can vouch for it."

　A moment.

　"I really miss it! The strawberry sundae was huge! I was so young when I last ate here that I couldn't finish it all, so I had to ask the chef to help me eat it. But was the strawberry sundae really this small?"

　That's because you've grown up.

　Yes, that's right.

　"Oh, I see. I've grown up. When I was little, everything seemed so big. Even my master's once broad back has become smaller without me even noticing."

　“Mr. Aize is getting old, you must take good care of him.”

　"This is what I'm doing right now, but is it really not something you made it this small on purpose, but rather that it was originally this small?"

　The bartender, who had been wiping the glasses with his eyes closed, changed his expression upon hearing this, and his hands moved faster. However, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said calmly, "The passage of time is truly a cruel thing." Hugh Tarek looked more closely at the enormous strawberry sundae in front of him, thinking that it must be because he had grown up.

　Philen forked the top strawberry and put it in her mouth. The strawberry was very fresh and sweet, and very juicy. No wonder Shutark hadn't forgotten these points even after so long. But Philen was thinking about what she had just heard in the commercial street. When she heard that she might have to stay in this town for two years, Philen's first thought was naturally to resist. But now that the outpost didn't allow her to go out at will, Philen didn't have any good ideas.

　Although the young girl had eaten a lot before coming to the tavern, it was just a sundae, and she could eat as much as she wanted. However, the sundae she ate was a special version, or more accurately, a mixed sundae. It was no longer served in a bowl like the sundaes served in bowls by Hugh Tark and Philon. Instead, it was made with freshly bought watermelon, piled high with crushed ice, sprinkled with cream and honey, and finally topped with grapes, strawberries, mangoes, and other fruits. The various colors intertwined, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

　"Do you want to leave the city?"

　While they were chatting, the bartender, who had been wiping the glasses the whole time, finally finished. He turned around and asked Hugh Tark, and Philon reacted the same way, thinking that the bartender had some idea. But after Philon gave an affirmative answer, the bartender advised them to give up the idea. This was a critical moment in the battle, and no matter what, the guards at the outpost would not open the gate unless...

　“There are many ways to deliver messages. Pigeons have their way, and mice have theirs.”

　Hugh Tarek had just finished his sundae and was a little confused as to why the bartender said that. Philon looked in the direction of the little girl and Lan Mei. Lan Mei had already finished her sundae and was feeding the little girl spoonful by spoonful. The little girl also sat on the chair without any politeness, opening her mouth and waiting for Lan Mei to feed her.

　"Miss Alan, don't you think it's a bit much to stay in this city for two years?"

　"Two years? Why did you stay for so long?"

　Philon briefly recounted what had happened. Lanmei scraped the cream that had dribbled from the little girl's mouth with a spoon, then licked the spoon clean before stuffing another spoonful into the little girl's mouth, saying, "Then I'll go kill the Demon King. But this kind of trip isn't very interesting. However, even if we don't kill the Demon King, we just need to wait a while, and the city will have to open its gates. At least commercial activities will have to be much more frequent than before."

　“Killing the Demon King? Miss Alan, please don’t joke about that. By the way, why do you say that we should wait for a while before opening the city gates? Did Miss Alan know something in advance?” Although Lanmei spoke as if it were a matter of course, Philon did not refute her.

　"It's not that we knew anything in advance. Although we haven't known each other for very long, you all know about Xiaoguang's appetite. She consumes enough meat every day to support a town, and she rarely eats noodles or similar foods. So if she stays here, I estimate that in less than two years, at most six months, the city will be bankrupted by Xiaoguang. And that's just in terms of eating. As for playing, well, I don't think this city can withstand Xiaoguang's destruction."

　Volume 1: Chapter 405 - An Ordinary Day in Val Town

　Philon nodded silently. She knew very well how much the little girl ate. Shutark, on the other hand, was a bit confused. After spending a few days with her, he also knew that the little girl's appetite was indeed astonishing. But to think that she could eat a city out of business just by eating seemed a bit too exaggerated.

　Lanmei didn't explain further. She turned around and took out all the watermelons that the little girl had bought earlier, and had the tavern make them into assorted sundaes. The little girl next to her was stuffing a large jar of ice cream into her mouth. However, the little girl finished the large bowl of ice cream in no time.

　The little girl licked her lips and jumped straight off the stool.

　She came down and ran towards the bar with her short legs, her tail behind her making her robe stick out. When Philon saw this, he looked around in a panic, afraid that others would notice the strange thing about the little girl. Fortunately, there were few people in the tavern at this time, and the bartender did not notice the little girl's robe.
