Chapter 38 City South Market
[Huhuhu, thanks to the cheerful Lina, otherwise I don’t know how long it will take to get out of the shadow of the first murder…]
Liya lay on the soft big bed in her bedroom, recalling everything she had born last night, but only once the moon sets and sunrises, she feels like she is a different life.
"Lilith~" Liya greeted when she saw the close-fitting maid pushing the door and said, "You have to go out with me today, prepare the civilian clothes, we will go out secretly, don't shoot."
"Uh... Miss, what does 'shooting' mean?" Lilith was full of curiosity about the strange phrases that appeared from time to time in her lady's mouth.
"Ahem, I just don't mean Betty! Get ready quickly, we'll be out early in the morning!" Liaco couldn't explain the phrase she said casually, so she had to fool her...
The four-wheeled carriage painted with frost leaves slowly walked on the misty streets in the morning. The high-end shops around Lancelo Square were closed with their doors, because no noble and wealthy businessmen would come out to stroll at this time.
The carriage from Frost Leaf Castle was parked on the side of the road, but three girls dressed in civilians jumped off from it.
The same bright red pupils had completely different colors. A pair of sisters holding hands were also following a cute girl with golden eyes. However, the girl's eyes glanced at each other's hands from time to time, but the eyes of the girl who was holding hands showed deep envy.
Even the dark coarse cloth clothes cannot cover up the bright smiles of three girls of different ages.
The light brown ponytail was casually tied behind the head, swinging happily with the pace of walking. The proud bust seemed to break free from the constraints of fabric at any time, but the girl didn't care. Every time her slender and straight legs took a step, it seemed to have been accurately measured, not more than one point, not more than one point. There was no expression on the girl's delicate face, and there was only coldness in her bloody pupils, as if nothing in the world could attract her attention - except, the small figure holding in her left hand.
The breeze blew up the silver-white bangs, and the length spread around the waist also swung gently. The thin and small body was wrapped in the size-large clothing. The white and tender face, which was a little fat in the baby, was slightly red in the cold morning mist, and the same bloody pupils showed excitement and curiosity. The little loli turned around and saw the eyes of the golden girl beside her, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She handed her left hand to the golden girl's palm without saying anything.
"Ah!" The golden girl exclaimed lightly, but she clenched her palm slightly. Her eyes as clear as emeralds stared at the little hand held in her palm, and a faint blush flew out from her milky face.
In an instant, the golden sunlight penetrated the hazy mist and outlined a faint golden thread on the three elf-like girls. The sound of "kicking and stomping" footsteps echoed in the air, and the uninhabited streets seemed to be alive...
As Liya and the other two walked towards the south of the city, there were more and more pedestrians on the street.
In the southern urban areas where a large number of civilians live, people go out much earlier than in the northern urban areas, and small shops on the street have already opened for business.
"Hey! Where did the three beautiful little girls come from?"
"Huh? Did you just come to the city today? I've never seen it before!"
"Did you come from the north if you didn't see it? The one who entered the city today should be from the south gate!"
"Haha! I saw such a beautiful little girl early in the morning, and my fortune must be very good today!"
"I don't know whose girl it is! I would have liked to marry such a beautiful wife!"
"Hey! Hey! Wake up, why are you dreaming in broad daylight!"
On the crowded streets, the three people who gathered too many eyes were walking quickly with their teeth. Lilith, who had never left the door, had her cheeks flushed, and she looked like she wanted to find a hole to get into it.
"Ahem, Lilith, that... you've got it right..." Liya whispered, her little hand was already pinched by her little maid and hurt slightly.
Lilith seemed to have never heard of it, and still lowered her head and stared at the ground in front of her, as if a few gold coins would appear on the road under her feet at any time.
Gerfin, who was standing beside him, was calm, as if nothing could shake her face.
However, Liya understood that Gerfen is now a road ill...
"Hey! Lilith, we don't know the way, and we still expect you to take us to the market!" Liya had to raise her voice and pulled Lilith's hand.
"Ah! Cute girls, if you don't mind, I can take you to the market!" A voice suddenly rang in front.
Riya looked up and saw a young man with a sunny face looking at her and the other two smilingly.
"Uh...Who are you?" Given that one of the two companions is empty and the other has not had any money for a long time, the youngest Riya has to take on the important task of foreign exchanges.
"The following is named Haroy Scris, an alchemist apprentice. I happened to see three cute girls having problems, and I happened to know the way to the market." The young man named Scris showed a bright smile like the afternoon sun.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Scris. But we know the way, so I won't bother you!" Lea said without any politeness.
"Then... well, it's my honor to meet you! Goodbye, cute girls!" Scris was not depressed by being rejected, but instead left happily humming a song.
"Are civilians so happy?" Lea said to herself in confusion.
"Ah! That...size...oh! No! That...Yi...Liya?" Lilith, who had been disconnected for a long time, finally returned to the line and was still a little uncomfortable with her eldest lady's pseudonym.
"Lilith, you're finally back! Take us to the market!"
"Ah? Ah... OK, come with me!"
Twenty minutes later, the three of them finally arrived at the market near the south gate of Frost Leaf City.
In a small square, various stalls selling ingredients are everywhere, and customers shuttle through the aisles between different stalls, bargaining sounds one after another.
Relying on her small figure, Riya occasionally crawled through the crowd to check the goods on the stalls.
However, she became more and more disappointed when she looked at it. The lack of ingredients in another world was simply evident. There were only a small amount of beef, mutton, beast meat, and fish that were frozen hard, and more were black bread that could be used as weapons, barley without shelling, and dusty bread flour...
