You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

goo~

For some reason, Freya subconsciously wanted to make that sound, but the girl stopped it halfway through.

? !

Upon realizing her unconscious actions, Freya's pretty face instantly turned red, and her silvery-white eyes filled with glistening tears of shame.

She glanced at Xiluo with trepidation, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he was focused on leaving and hadn't noticed her. But a small, inexplicable regret lingered in her heart.

cough cough...

Freya touched the ends of her hair, trying to cool herself down with the back of her slightly cool hand, but the temperature of her face made the back of her hand warm.

how to say

Freya's subconscious action reminded her of how pets roll over and purr when they're being petted by their owners.

hiss--

Freya gasped and quickly patted her face, trying to calm herself down.

How could I possibly think such a thing?!

Xi Luo sensed the sudden movement of the girl in his arms, glanced down in bewilderment, and asked, "Does your talent have a self-harming side effect? ​​Do you need me to get a rope to tie you up?"

"Huh? Uh... well, actually no... Ah, a mosquito just flew onto my face, hehe~"

Seeing Freya's silly grin, so unlike her usual demeanor, Shiloh couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Freya knew her reasoning was stupid, but what else could she do?

After getting out of the area that might be affected, Shiloh put Freya down and then asked, "Are there any members of the Blackthorn Flower nearby?"

"Hmm? Yes, should we have them come over now?"

"Yes, have them arrest the targets based on the tracking map. Try to keep them alive, but of course, kill anyone who dares to resist."

"I'll share a real-time tracking map with Freya on the terminal," Shiloh said.

"Huh? These are... those who trade in illegal slaves—"

Freya glanced at it a few times and exclaimed in surprise.

"When I went to gather intelligence, I casually attached a few tracking devices. With their technical capabilities, they won't be able to detect them."

Looking at Shiloh's calm and handsome face, Freya sighed inwardly that the Wells family was still too authoritative in the field of magical technology.

"This will speed up the investigation into the illegal slave trade case considerably!"

After Freya finished doing all this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she said, "By the way, take a look at these two things I found in Truman's study. Maybe you'll find something new."

After receiving the letter and magic notebook from Freya, Shiloh didn't rush to read them. Instead, he took her hand and ran off in one direction.

Caught off guard by having her hand suddenly grasped, Freya initially wanted to maintain a ladylike composure, at least by resisting a little. However, feeling the warmth of her hand, the girl decided to put aside any notion of composure for now.

"Where...where are we going?"

"Take control of the situation."

A few minutes later, Sillo arrived at the residence of the first-level governor of Clorenza and met with him.

"Young Master Xi Luo, you've arrived."

"You can begin to stabilize the people's hearts and eliminate the demonic forces within the city. After this matter is over, you will be the lord of Clorensa."

“It’s a sad feeling.”

The First-Class Governor suppressed the joy on his face, gave some instructions to the butler beside him, and then bowed to Shiloh and said with a smile, "Miss Fufro is already waiting for you in the highest-class guest room. My head maid will show you the way."

Xi Luo nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work. The one who truly saved Clorenza is you."

The governor's words were entirely true, yet tinged with a sense of melancholy.

Unexpectedly, Truman, who was widely considered the least likely to collude with the demons, actually did so many big things.

It's true what they say: you can know a person's face but not their heart...

After the consul respectfully took his leave, Shiloh followed the head maid and Freya to where Feverlo was.

"When...when did you contact the First Consul of Clorenza?"

"Not long ago, just last night."

"But how do you convince him of your identity?"

"I had your boss send him a message."

Chapter 108 Fupuru (5k)

Freya opened her mouth, then closed it again.

Meanwhile, she thought to herself, "So, my boss is someone I can just find whenever I want? When did she become so easy to talk to?"

Scratching her head, Freya inexplicably felt some pressure.

She secretly counted on her fingers, and among the women who followed Shiro, the only ones she really remembered were Cecilia and Arya.

Girls like Irene pose no threat to her whatsoever.

However, Cecilia and Aria, regardless of their noble status, possess extraordinary talents far surpassing his own.

If I were to "enter the fray" myself, facing the two of them would already be very stressful.

Looking at her boss like this now, she gets the feeling that there's something ambiguous between her and Xi Luo...

Thinking of this, Freya suddenly shuddered, wondering if she would be retaliated against if she made a move on Shiloh.

While Freya was lost in thought, Shiloh arrived at the room where Frost was and then pushed the door open and entered.

"Owner!"

Upon seeing Shiloh, Fufuro quickly ran over and stood in front of him, her bright gray eyes looking at him with some nervousness.

Silo smiled and patted Fphro's head, then led her to a chair and asked, "Things will be settled soon. After it's over, I'll have Serene check on you."

"Ah? Um..."

Fufu nodded and smiled, but her little hands under the table still clenched involuntarily.

If even the High Priestess of the Elves can't cure her adult-onset illness, then is she really...?

Before the idea could fully take shape, Shiloh tapped her with his finger, causing the girl to let out a sweet "Ouch!"

"Stop overthinking. Didn't I tell you I'm here?"

Fufu covered her forehead, pouted, and looked up at Xiluo's calm and composed dark eyes. Suddenly, she grinned foolishly.

"Hey hey hey..."

Freya smiled slightly at his blank expression, thinking that she wished all her future best friends were silly girls like Fluffy.

"Aria has brought the situation under control. As I expected, attacks involving the release of demonic energy have occurred throughout the Great Forest. However, Serene has also sent a warning to the Elf Queen, who is currently suppressing these thugs and has dispatched a support team to assist her."

Sylvie summarized the current situation, a smile playing on her lips.

The final step is for Serena to take Truman's head, but that's only a matter of time.

The fact that there has been no movement from the distant city lord's mansion proves that Truman is completely unable to shake Serene's domain, and the outcome is already decided.

Taking advantage of this free time, Shiloh dug out some evidence that Freya had given him about Truman, the first of which was the letter.

"Hmm? The author of this poem..."

Xi Luo raised an eyebrow, recalling a face that many noblewomen found deeply affectionate, but which Xi Luo's family found greasy and pretentious.

Xi Luo shivered, quickly threw the letter on the table, picked up a tissue to wipe her hands, and looked hesitant.

"What kind of taste..."

Shiloh shook his head, but this was also a very important clue. The name that Truman crossed out on his letter was very likely the mastermind behind it all.

If Truman used this poem to express his feelings, does that mean that the mastermind behind it all is likely a fan of that greasy poet?

Which prince or princess has such terrible taste...?

Xi Luo raised an eyebrow, planning to investigate further after returning to the capital in a few days.

Freya glanced at Shiloh, noticing his thoughtful expression, and asked softly, "Did you discover something?"

"Not yet, but we can investigate who wrote the poem later."

"This poem..."

Freya leaned her head closer, glanced at it, and then quickly pulled it back, looking disgusted. "I don't know what kind of taste people who like this kind of poetry have. It feels like they're just making a fuss over nothing."

"Right, I think so too—"

Before he finished speaking, the space around him suddenly rippled, attracting everyone's attention.

tread--

A graceful and elegant figure stepped out. Serene's white robe was still clean and unstained by blood, but Shiloh could tell that she had just gone through a battle that was not easy.

"Resolved?"

"Yes, his demonic energy has also been purified by my domain, so it will not affect the residents of Clorensari."

As Serene finished speaking, Shiloh's terminal rang. He picked it up and saw that Arya had also successfully completed the handover and was now on her way.

"Things in the Great Forest were handled very well too... Well, thank you for this time."

After Serene finished speaking, she bowed slightly to Shiloh.

Shifting his gaze from the pumpkin, which appeared even larger due to its bent shape, Xiluo waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet, I also need your help with something."

Then, under Serene's questioning gaze, Shiloh led Fphro to the front.

"Half-elf adult disease."

Serene understood instantly from the simple words, and then nodded and said, "No wonder, when I first saw this girl, I had a strange sense of familiarity... However, half-elves who appear with human features are really rare in this era."

"Can it be treated?"

Upon hearing this, Serene pondered for a moment, then placed her hand on Fphro's body, closed her eyes slightly, and a verdant aura rose around her.

Feeling a vibrant energy flowing through her body, Fufro subconsciously held her breath and nervously gripped the hem of Shiloh's clothes.

After the inspection, Serene withdrew her hand, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Seeing her like this, Fufuro's face paled for a moment, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

"Speak your mind."

Shiloh frowned, gave Serene a disapproving look, and said.

Serene coughed twice and said, "The primary condition for half-elves to survive is to be bathed in the blessings of Mother Goddess Wansen from a young age, so that they can support the energy required when they transform into their elven form."

"But she...the Mother Goddess's grace within her is almost non-existent."

At this point, Fufuro trembled slightly, almost unable to stand, and her breathing became very heavy.

The high priest of the elves had already spoken very tactfully, but Fufuro could still tell that the other party meant that she was beyond saving.

Fro tried to resist her instinctive fear of death, then turned to Shiloh and gave him a bright smile to show her composure.

But after a few attempts, Fluffy realized that her forced smile was too stiff and ugly.

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat suffocating, Xi Luo calmly took something out of his spatial pouch and said, "This thing should contain quite a lot of 'blessings,' right?"

At this moment, the [Mother Stone of Wansen] in Xiluo's hand shone brightly, and rich life energy filled the room.

Seeing the [Mother Stone of the Vance] in Shiloh's hand without any resistance, Serene's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Although she guessed that the [Mother Stone of Wansen] was in Xiluo's hands, she did not expect that Xiluo would gain the approval of the divine gift purely through his own efforts!

How...how is this possible?!

Serene was somewhat bewildered as she looked at the divine gift lying peacefully in Shiloh's hands.

After all, at her age, she had never seen anyone so... greedy for something given by God.

"Well, if it is the [Wansen Mother Stone], it does indeed have a very strong blessing. But her body may not be able to withstand receiving so much life energy all at once."

More than that, Serene was curious that Shiloh would be willing to use the divine gift he had worked so hard to obtain for a mere servant.

Serene wanted to ask why, but she felt that asking would seem petty, so she kept quiet.
