The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

As for the size? Chloe said she was sure the feel of it wouldn't be wrong...

……

Not long after, Chloe, having changed her clothes, walked out of the dressing room again, still carrying her rolled-up blanket.

Elena's clothes had been changed, but Chloe didn't know what to do with the blanket, so she wrapped Elena up in it again and came out.

Although Chloe had changed her clothes, she still felt a bit sticky all over because of the juice splashes all over her.

So she planned to pay the bill quickly and then find a hotel with a shower to settle down.

Oh, and she should also ask which city this is from.

Let's just ask them one by one...

"Boss, how much are these clothes?"

"W-So fast? Um... just one gold coin?"

"Wow, boss, are you trying to rip me off because you think I'm a kid? Wow, a gold coin? Why don't you just rob someone? With this kind of workmanship, a silver coin would be more like it..."

"make a deal."

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's quote, Chloe instinctively tried to haggle. Keep in mind the gold-to-silver coin ratio is 100:1! Chloe had initially intended to negotiate, but the shopkeeper's decisive reply left her bewildered… Had she overcharged?

But the boss clearly didn't care about money anymore, and seemed somewhat panicked by Chloe's quick change of clothes.

How come this little girl changed clothes faster than him? And as a girl, she didn't even take the time to choose clothes... He was trying to stall for time and wait for the higher-ups of the cult to confirm.

We need to confirm whether this little girl is one of our own, and whether the person wrapped in the blanket is the target.

Why would he stay wrapped in the blanket even after changing his clothes? It's getting more and more suspicious... but he's not 100% sure.

As for why he didn't go to Chloe to confirm it himself? Just kidding, when he first met this little girl, he sensed an aura from her that was clearly much higher in rank than his.

Although he didn't know why the cult's aura had completely disappeared from the little girl, he dared not ask for fear of being caught!

You know, the higher-ups in the cult are all unpredictable... What if he asks some random question and touches a nerve?

But he couldn't just let the little girl leave, since he had already contacted his superiors and asked them to come and take a look.

If the higher-ups arrive and don't find him, he'll be finished for "tricking" them.

How can we stop this little girl?

Just as the boss was at his wit's end, two figures suddenly pushed open the door and entered...

Chapter 82 I'm cute, send me money!

Once he recognized who the two people who had entered the room were, the boss's panic vanished instantly.

Two girls entered through the door; one of them, a red-haired girl, was the "high-ranking person" he had contacted.

"My lord, hurry..."

The shop owner immediately went up to him, wanting to tell this executive to quickly inquire about Chloe's condition.

"Holy crap! What kind of monster is this?" The red-haired girl was startled when she entered the room and saw an eyesore coming toward her.

She instinctively delivered a roundhouse kick, sending the shop owner crashing into the wall.

If this eyesore hadn't had a voice that matched the one of the people reporting to her, she would have really wanted to kick this "monster" to death with all her might.

After kicking, the red-haired girl walked back to the wall, stepped on the shopkeeper, and said with a disgusted expression:

"You're the one who called me here?... Don't turn around! I'm afraid if I see your face, I won't be able to resist killing you."

"Yes Yes!"

Upon hearing the red-haired girl's words, the shop owner instantly trembled with fear.

He knew this man's personality; he wasn't the type to joke around. If he turned around, his head might just fall to the ground.

Although he was a little confused, his colleagues always said that when he wore this makeup before, "it's flawless, you can't tell it's him at all." Why was he not only recognized today, but also disliked by his boss? But for the sake of his life, he still pressed his face tightly against the wall.

Seeing that the thing she was stepping on remained obediently still, the red-haired girl twisted her toes forcefully again and said in a slightly irritated tone:

"Are you deaf? I'm asking if you're the one who called me here?"

"Ouch... It's me! It's me!" the boss, wincing in pain, immediately responded.

The red-haired girl looked around the store for a while, but didn't see a single person inside. Then, in a threatening tone, she said:

"Then where is this suspicious person you mentioned? Are you playing me?"

"Yes, when you kicked me just now, didn't a little girl carrying a blanket brush past you? That was her!"

After hearing the boss's reply, the red-haired girl recalled that there had indeed been a little girl she didn't recognize who had brushed past her while carrying a rolled-up blanket.

She immediately turned around and asked her attendant, "Is that little girl someone who has registered?"

“No.” The red-haired girl’s attendant immediately replied in a completely emotionless tone.

The red-haired girl nodded; he was indeed a suspicious person.

After all, although the city has a large population, it is semi-closed, so there are almost no unfamiliar faces among its residents.

Although this border city of humans often has unfamiliar faces such as merchants and tourists, these people are registered when they enter the city, so the little girl who was not registered is indeed suspicious.

Suspicious as it may be, there's absolutely no need to call her out if she's just a little girl! Her orders to her subordinates were clearly "to infiltrate the city and report immediately if they spot any suspicious girls." She never said they had to report every little girl they saw!

"Why a little girl? I'll give you three minutes to explain. If you can't explain it clearly, you know what will happen..."

Upon hearing the red-haired girl's words, the boss broke out in a cold sweat and immediately stated his judgment.

After hearing this, the red-haired girl was somewhat puzzled, but she reluctantly accepted the shopkeeper's explanation and then left the shop with her attendant.

After leaving the shop, the red-haired girl said to her attendant, "Go and keep an eye on that little girl. Remember, don't alert her. Even if the person she's with is the target, just report back to me. Don't disturb her."

The attendant nodded and then walked toward a nearby inn.

Chloe was in that hotel.

After the attendants left, the red-haired girl also went back with a frown.

She was frowning because she was thinking about a question—why were her subordinates able to sense the abyss from that little girl before, but she hadn't sensed it at all even when the little girl brushed past her just now?

If they could completely conceal their abyssal aura, their cult would have infiltrated the Demon Realm long ago.

Or perhaps the little girl was a puppet, and that aura was left behind by the person behind her?

But the duration was far too short, unless it was a high-ranking leader at the Saint level...

Thinking of this, her brows furrowed even more, but soon she put on an indifferent expression.

Fortunately, the "capture the informant" mission issued by her superiors had recently been changed from a mandatory mission to an optional mission. Since there was no penalty for failure, she didn't need to provoke the suspected Saint-level high-ranking members of the cult for such a small achievement.

……

On the other hand, the reason Chloe hurriedly dropped the money and ran out was because she sensed a familiar aura.

"Eustia..." Chloe carried Elena into the street and looked around blankly.

She clearly sensed Eustia's aura—that is, the church's saintess—from the direction of the shop entrance, so why did it disappear as soon as she stepped outside?

The church's saintess was named Eustia, and she was an old acquaintance of Chloe's.

When she first became a hero, Eustia was already a renowned saintess.

It was for this reason that he agreed to let Eustia join her hero squad.

At first, Chloe... or rather, the hero Levin didn't like the rigid saintess very much, and even often teased her with words, trying to break her defenses.

But during the three years of adventures they shared, she, as the heroine, became good friends with the saintess... or rather, they became sworn brothers.

Even at the very end, she, the hero, died in Eustia's arms... That was the first time Chloe saw Eustia's perpetually icy expression break down...

Fortunately, this wasn't the last time.

To be honest, Chloe really wanted to meet her... but she didn't know what she would say to her in this manner after they met.

Chloe couldn't exactly point to herself and say to her, "I'm Li Wen, cute, send me money..." could she?

Let's find her first and hand Elena over to her first...

"But since we can sense her presence, she must be in this city, right? What a coincidence... If she's in this city, we can ask the residents and they'll know where she lives, right? After all, she's a saintess, surely no one wouldn't recognize her?"

Chloe held Elena in her arms and murmured to herself as they walked down the street.

But not long after, she awkwardly carried Elena and ran towards the only hotel in sight.

The stares from passersby were too conspicuous, so I'm outta here...

Standing on the street with a person wrapped in a blanket is still too avant-garde for people in this world.

Chapter 83 You city folks really know how to have fun

Following the principle of proximity, Chloe found a hotel and immediately took Elena inside.

Upon entering the inn, Chloe simply tossed a gold coin to the waiter, instructing him not to ask any questions and to simply book her a room.

The waiter, clearly a worldly person, smiled knowingly after hearing Chloe's words.

The waiter calmly accepted the money and handed Chloe a pink key card, saying, "You're in a hurry and need a room for three hours, right? The extra money is a deposit, which will be refunded to you when you check out..."

The waiter then watched Chloe enter the room without saying a word.

After Chloe entered the room and decisively closed the door, the waiter also showed a sigh of regret.

These young people these days really know how to have fun. They're so young and already playing the Beast Senpai game... The waiter has even imagined what happened before Chloe came to this hotel.

Chloe, upon hearing the waiter's words, didn't think much of it, simply acknowledging the waiter's skillful handling of the situation.

It was obvious at a glance that she was only staying temporarily, not intending to stay permanently...

There was something off about the waiter's eyes, and why they had to collect a deposit... But these two questions vanished instantly when Chloe opened the door to the room corresponding to her key card and saw the various pleasure items neatly arranged inside.

"Damn! No wonder the waiters were so skilled, you city folks really know how to have fun..."

Chloe thought to herself, then quickly closed the door.

Wouldn't it be a huge loss to check out now? Maybe I should wake Elena up later and explain to her.

Anyway, she's just a little girl now, and she didn't make... a tool for the crime, so it shouldn't be hard to explain.

Besides, as the saintess's attendant, Elina's knowledge in that area shouldn't be much better than the saintess's; she might not even know what all the props in the room are for.

Back when Chloe and Eustia accidentally booked a similar room, Eustia thought it was a room for torture... She even gave Eustia a good lesson back then... Wait, will Eustia teach this knowledge to her follower?

Tsk, if I can't explain it clearly, I'll just let Elena continue sleeping and send her directly to Eustia's side so she'll think it was all a dream.

Chloe thought to herself, "What the hell?"

Anyway, that's all for now. I should take a shower and then contact Lulum to let her know I'm safe... Chloe thought, looking at the darkening sky.

……

"You're saying Lucas disappeared right under your noses?"

On the Demon King's throne, Lulum frowned and asked Tepela and Mukia, who were kneeling on one knee.

"Yes, after we went to support Lucas and accidentally let the abyss rat escape, we went to help him deal with the super monster infected by the abyss... but after we finished dealing with it, we found that he had disappeared."

In response to Lulum's confusion, Crimson King Tepper immediately explained the whole story.

"As expected, even my emergency recall couldn't get in touch with him... Did something happen to him?"

Lulu's brow furrowed even more. For Lucas, the most skilled at self-preservation among the Four Heavenly Kings, to suddenly vanish into thin air was no small matter...

By the way, how is Chloe doing these days?

Lulum suddenly realized that she didn't know Chloe's current situation. When Lulum was contacting Lucas and the others to analyze the mysterious man, Lucas had told Lulum that Chloe should have arrived at her destination and that he would pick her up "in a little while".

But now that Lucas has disappeared, what should Chloe do?

If Lulu hadn't sensed that Chloe was alright, she wouldn't have only now thought about Chloe's situation.

Just as Lulum was thinking this, Chloe suddenly contacted her.

Lulum immediately connected the call and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chloe safe and sound on the screen.

She then waved her hand, signaling the two kneeling Heavenly Kings to sit down and wait a moment, before saying to Chloe, "Little Chloe, where are you now? That place doesn't look like home..."

Chloe, on the other end of the screen, looked somewhat flustered, as if she hadn't expected the communication to display a video.
