Chapter 167

"....Then you should also know that our identities are very dangerous, especially since you are a wanted criminal."

"It's okay. Now the army and guards of the entire imperial capital must be running to the imperial city."

Although Zanze was a little worried, Yubel went to the imperial city with unfounded confidence, which made her hesitate but still gave up trying to dissuade him.

Although the surroundings of the imperial city must be very dangerous at this time....Just as Yubel said, the defense forces of the entire imperial capital will be gathered. They are very safe on the way there, but when they reach the destination, they will be trapped, right?

But she was unwilling to give up easily, so she could only prepare for the battle halfway.

...............................

Inside the imperial city.

After a short re-bandage, Ash flipped through a lot of documents, asked someone to report the current situation, and directly used magic to repair the damage he caused in the imperial city, and adjusted the structure of the empire by the way.

The status of the Holy Staff Court was greatly improved, and in order to bribe the special forces, their status was also adjusted... Otherwise, the status of their ordinary members was really too low.

During this work, Ash not only restored the vegetation on both sides of the courtyard and the road, but also restored the dead on the roadside to their previous state.

It's a pity that although the bodies of those dead can be restored, their lives cannot be reversed, but the problem is not big... At least they have regained their bodies, and their magic equipment can be used again.

Just when he was busy with the repairs, thinking about the next strategy, handling the documents handed over by the ministers from time to time, and giving directions for the empire's future actions, Ash did not forget to call people to report safety to the people in the base.

And he was injured but still busy, Millie followed by the side with a look of watching the fun, but did nothing, just drank quietly.

Although she was just drinking and watching the fun, it made Ash feel a little unhappy for some reason, and he wanted to push all the work to her.

Unfortunately... Millie was just a standard elf.

She didn't care about the life and death of her own people or the extinction of her race. At most, she would stop it when it happened in front of her. If it really perished and she was the only one left, she would only sigh a little... but that was the extent.

She naturally didn't care about the life and death of the empire. After all, she was just here to fish in troubled waters, but... she unknowingly became the boss of the Holy Staff Court.

Because the people above died without paying attention, her qualifications and strength were undoubtedly the first, which made her feel that she was just in a daze and became the number one person.

But while this guy was watching the fun, Ash was repairing all the way to save some money, and was still thinking about what to say when he went back later.

Both of them suddenly noticed something and looked up suddenly-only to see a black shadow suddenly fly out from the city wall like lightning.

As if it was launched from outside, the shadow passed over the city wall, drew an arc, and then with a loud "bang!", it fell steadily on the floor tiles that Ash had just repaired.

This hit not only splashed a lot of dust, but also made six cracked holes in the floor tiles that had just been repaired.

"Ah, this..." Ash widened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be held back again.

Others might not be able to see clearly, but he clearly "saw" it-it was clearly that Zanze carried Yubel on his back and used his hair as six legs to fall from the sky and land in the imperial city.

.... Due to the fact that the entire imperial city had a no-fly barrier, Zanze directly used his hair to pierce the city wall, and just ignored the terrain at 90 degrees upwards and rushed forward, and finally jumped from outside the city wall and successfully flew over the wall of the imperial city.

At the moment of landing, Zanze's extended hair, like the six legs of a spider, hit the ground and "unloaded" the impact.

The postures of the two at this moment were extremely strange. Zanze was like a big spider, using his hair to make his main body float in the air.

Yubel, who was holding her on his back, looked energetic. After looking around for a while, he met Ash's eyes when the smoke and dust dissipated.

This made her mouth curl up greatly, and she jumped off Zanze's back directly: "——Target found~ My intuition is really accurate~!"

".... What are you doing?"

Ash silently ignored Yubel, who liked to make trouble, and turned to look at Zanze, whose hair was floating in the air, as if he was going to attack the surroundings.

The magicians of the Holy Staff Court around were also scrambling to activate magic, and they were about to show themselves in front of this new monarch.

But at the same time, Zanze was one step faster and protected him behind him, and Yubel also quickly protected him behind him, and summoned the magic wand to alert Millie who was beside... happily took another sip of wine.

Zanze's overly long hair appeared around Ash, clearly ready to use his hair to protect him from the attacks of the magicians nearby.

Because Millie successfully stood in line, everyone was promoted to become Ash's direct line in the Empire. Seeing this scene, the magicians of the Holy Staff Court were so nervous that they dared not act rashly, and just stood around.

Although they didn't think Ash would be controlled by the guy who suddenly appeared, this was also a chance for them to show off!

...............................

...............................

The development of the situation is always beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Ash originally planned to repair the damaged buildings and urban areas and deal with the business at the same time, but he was suddenly protected by two groups of people in the middle, but the two groups were not familiar with each other and were directly hostile to each other.

The magicians of the Holy War Court are not simple, especially Millie's magic power is so strong that it is no different from Celia (hidden state).

This made Zanze and Yubel think that he was just controlled by Millie and others... After all, there was a lot of blood on his body, and he looked like he was captured after being beaten.

"Oh, the hostages were taken away, what should I do?"

Millie said with a non-stressed expression, drinking silently with great interest, and even retreated directly behind her men, but the smile on her face was somewhat strange.

In Ash's view, this was clearly watching the excitement and deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

Zanze and the other two thought that the other party was mocking them because they thought they had overwhelming force.

In this tense situation, the two suddenly felt a wave of magic power.

Without waiting for a reaction, Ash's figure appeared from behind them and next to Millie in an instant. He pinched her face and scolded: "-I tell you, I really tolerated you for a long time...!"

"Hey, oh my? Did I do something bad?" Millie looked innocent and handed him the wine: "...How about this as an apology?"

"--Lord Ash?!" Zanze exclaimed, wanting him to be more careful, and even suspected that he was catching the thief first, but his actions and the conversation between the two sides seemed...a little wrong?

And for some reason, those magicians did not care about their boss being "attacked". Instead, they gathered magic power as if they were free of restraints and were about to attack the two of them.

Hmm? ? Why is this situation a little wrong? We should be here to save people, right? How come it suddenly turned around....we are surrounded by people under Ash's command? Illusion? ——The strange situation made Yubel tilt his head.

Zanze also looked confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

But just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Ash finally let go of Millie, raised his hand and pressed everyone equally, feeling a pressure that could not be ignored, and looked at him in confusion.

"——Wait a minute, these are my people...well, I mean, you are all my people."

As soon as he said this, the magicians probably understood, but Zanze and Yubel still didn't understand it very well, so he could only explain to the two hostile parties at the scene with a headache.

A farce was finally paused without casualties.

After understanding the situation, the magicians of the Holy Staff Court could only leave silently with some regrets. When Zanze heard that he had captured the emperor and others, he seemed to doubt his ears. On the other hand, Yubel accepted it very casually. This should have been shocking information, but there was an unconcealable brilliance in his eyes.

"It turned out that one person really took down the capital of the Millennium Empire." Yubel put his hands behind his back and leaned over, looking at him from bottom to top. There seemed to be a hint of ill-intentioned light in his eyes. Yanli licked his lips: "You are worthy of being the man I like~ I want to tie you back, strip you clean, and study you thoroughly... What should I do~?"

"... You are on my territory, talking about committing crimes in front of me, or you want to commit crimes against me, is this really okay?"

"Just research~" Yubel blinked, his eyes full of cunning.

"....You can't even do research!"

The drunkard next to him was already troublesome enough, and now there's another weird guy... He thought about the current situation and reached out his hand, habitually pressing on Yubel's face, trying to push this troublesome guy away.

And Millie, who was looking at the two of them on the side, walked up with a smile: "Well~Are you...Are you Ash's lover?"

"Do you look like him?"

"This guy used to say that he wanted to find an older sister, the kind with a curvy figure... Although you don't look old, your figure should be in line with his hobbies." Millie pointed out his unintentional words in a joking manner.

"Ah? There's such a thing~?" Yubel's smile became even brighter when he heard this. He stared at Ash with a smug look in his eyes, and chuckled with his hands covering his mouth: "So you have been looking at me with that kind of eyes? Are you playing hard to get now?"

"...No, I like the kind of gentle big sister. Gentleness is very important."

"I am quite gentle?" Yubel pointed at himself with a smile, but he asked back with disgust: "How dare you say such a thing?"

"Aren't I always smiling?"

"...People who like to smile are not necessarily gentle, they can also be bad guys."

"Like yourself?"

"No!"

"I'm just kidding~ Why are you so serious?" Yubel smiled softly, finally moving her eyes away from Ash and looking around.

Looking at the artificially carved streetscape in the imperial city, she nodded constantly:

"It's really good to be a noble, living in such a good place. Even if I work all my life, I will definitely not be able to buy this house... No, the houses here are not something that can be bought with money, right?"

"... Are you hinting that I should give you one?" He sighed and held his forehead, but Yubel looked back in surprise, pretending to expect: "Can I~?"

"I don't care. If you like it, it's not a problem to give me one, but in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Yubel interrupted and said: "I will be yours in the future. This is an engagement gift, right? Well, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I still understand this principle."

"......."

This guy must have said this on purpose. If he continued to argue with her, it would only make things worse, and she would only get more excited... Sure enough, it's better to ignore it for the time being-after figuring this out, Ash silently turned his eyes away from Yubel, pretending to focus on the surrounding scenery, trying to avoid Yubel's fiery eyes and seductive words.

Yubel was not going to let him go easily. She quietly approached him and stood on tiptoe, whispering in his ear:

"What's wrong? Are you shy? You were so confident just now~?"

"Stop it." He flicked Yubel's head with his finger, but Yubel cried out in pain, but laughed even more proudly: "Haha~ Are you embarrassed?"

Yash didn't want to pay attention to her, but Millie on the side watched the two with interest and couldn't help but sigh: "Yash, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are more charming, you can make such a beautiful The girl is so infatuated with him, and you too, have fallen for a weird guy. "

"I can't help it. If this gets out, I don't know how many competitors I will have. Now of course I have to step up my strategy~"

"Milly, don't make trouble." Ash sighed tiredly, glared at Millie, and put his hand on Yubel's head, saying depressedly: "Yubel... I beg you to be quiet, don't make too much noise."

"What am I doing wrong? I'm just pursuing the person I like, right?" Yubel retorted disapprovingly.

"....Have you forgotten that you followed me just for my magic?"

"Well...it seems so?" Yubel blinked, then remembered his original purpose, but waved his hand indifferently, with a wicked smile on his lips: "Let's put that aside for now, anyway...I want magic, I want people, and I want hearts even more!"

"You are really greedy..."

He just complained softly, and he didn't intend to pay attention to her anymore, and turned his face away silently, just hoping that he would not be annoyed.

...............................

When Yubel actively launched the offensive, Zanze, who had been standing next to him, didn't know how to join the conversation, but just watched the scene quietly.

A trace of imperceptible loss flashed in her eyes, and she looked down at her ordinary chest and sighed in her heart.

But she didn't know how to express her feelings. Seeing Yubel's bold pursuit, she could only stand aside silently, at a loss.

But watching the interaction between Ash and Yubel, the disappointment in her heart became more and more obvious. She couldn't help biting her lip secretly, and finally mustered up the courage to walk forward and whispered: "Master Ash."

"What's wrong?"

"No... Nothing, sorry."

She felt that she should say something, but she didn't know what to say, and silently lowered her head again.

But Ash couldn't be angry. Her dejected look made him feel very cute. He stroked her long light golden hair out of habit: "What is this? Really..."

"Haha~ Completely different attitude." Millie, who had been watching the fun, narrowed her eyes and said with a sly smile: "You actually still like this kind of small one, right?"

"... This is care, what do you know?" He glared at the drunkard who was preventing him from stroking the loli: "Drink your wine, don't stop me from caring about the child."

"I would drink without you telling me, but... your wound is still bleeding, and you still have the energy to care about the child?"

Millie stared at him with a smile, never moving her hand away from Zanze's hair, always feeling as if she had discovered an unknown secret.

After hearing what Millie said, Zanze stared at his changed clothes in surprise, which were soon stained with blood. She just thought that it was the blood stain that had not been dealt with before, and a worried look appeared on her face: ".... Your injury has not been treated yet? It would be better to go to the priest for treatment first?"

"I have something to do now, wait a while... um, a while."

"Can't you put it aside for now?"

"This injury only looks serious, but it is not serious at all!" He said as he sat on the bench beside him.

He also took Zanze into his arms, put her on his knees, and rested his chin on her head with a smile on his face. While combing the girl's long hair, he said proudly: "——Look! There is no problem at all!"

The loli-like girl's face suddenly became as rosy and tender as a ripe apple, and her mouth was slightly open and she couldn't say a word.

Yubel tilted his head and silently watched the scene in front of him. Although he kept smiling, he was a little puzzled in his heart... Why did he flirt with her for a long time, but he didn't make as much progress as this dazed guy?

The strange situation made Yubel doubt himself a little, and even suspected...he said he was a queen control, but he actually just liked older people?

The Fall of Flillian, Golden Town and Empire: Chapter 20: Flirting but Being Pushed Back, the Battle between Linie and Fren, Linie's Complete Victory

In order to change the subject and distract himself from the pain by stroking a loli, Ash unconsciously hugged Zanze again.

But in the process of healing himself, Yubel's strange gaze made him a little difficult to ignore, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look:

"What are you doing, you keep looking at me with strange eyes."

"You..." Yubel didn't say anything polite to him, just smiled with an ambiguous smile and asked bluntly: "You don't like those who are...small and old, right?"

"...Can I be that kind of person?"

"Then..."
