Ferut soon came back with good news, but she had a puzzled look on her face.
"I find it hard to believe that Master Rom actually agreed so readily."
"Huh? What do you mean? "
"In the past, whenever I said I wanted to become an adventurer, Master Rom would scold me. He even said that dying in the slums was better than dying in the wild. At least he could help me collect my corpse."
"Hmm, that's true."
Although Fangzheng did not know who the "Master Rom" Ferut mentioned was, it should be the person who raised her.
"But this time, when I mentioned something about Wang Xuanlong and the Witch, Master Rom agreed very readily. He even asked you to take good care of me …."
Ferut had a look of disbelief on her face. She knew how much Master Rom had taken care of her in the past. To be honest, Ferut also knew that Master Rom was right. Although the slums were not a good place, it was still quite good compared to the adventurers living in the wild.
But this time, as soon as she said that she wanted to become an adventurer because she wanted to avoid Wang Xuanlong, the old man agreed with unprecedented alacrity.
"What about you? Are you ready? "
"Hmm … Ah, more or less …."
Although Ferut was a little reluctant to leave, she still nodded.
"I'm ready!"
After confirming that Ferut was ready, Fangzheng summoned Vimona and brought Ferut back to the castle. Like the others, Ferut was extremely astonished by Vimona, which could fly freely in the sky, and the resplendent five-star castle. After that, Fangzheng introduced Ferut to the other young ladies. The young ladies also expressed their welcome to Ferut, especially the priestesses. If there was really a Scout Thief joining them, it would naturally be extremely good news for them.
"Phew …."
After having a full meal in the canteen, Ferut went to the entertainment room and sat on the sofa. She looked at the night view outside the window while enjoying the soft and comfortable sensation under her body.
"It's like a dream …."
Firut muttered to himself as he looked outside. Just yesterday, she was still in that shabby little house in the slums, but in just one day, she came to a place that was even more luxurious than the palace.
But the people here were really strange.
At first, Ferut thought that the people living here were all nobles, but she discovered that there were all sorts of people living here. There were priests, magicians, adventurers, elven messengers, but no nobles. Everyone talked and chatted very casually. They did not have the high and mighty feeling of nobles at all. He also saw a group of children running around in the courtyard. He heard that they were adopted orphans.
It was also an orphanage!
However, the reason why he was so far away from home was all because of this stupid stone!
Ferut took out the badge from his pocket and stared at it angrily. To be honest, Firut really wanted to throw this lousy thing away. But after some careful thought, he decided against it. If he threw it away, it would be troublesome if Rhine Harut asked about it. He would find a time to return it to him next time. That way, it would mean that he was not interested in Wang Xuan.
"This is the badge?"
At this moment, a voice rang in Ferut's ears. Ferut looked up and saw the priestess sitting beside him, looking curiously at the badge in Ferut's hand.
"Yeah, it's because of this stupid thing that I can't even go home now."
Having said that, Firut snorted in annoyance.
"But it looks beautiful."
"It's beautiful indeed …."
Just as the priestess said, the badge was glowing with a golden light in Ferut's hand. It was obviously not an ordinary item.
"I also thought that this thing must be very valuable, so I wanted to return it to the owner as soon as possible. If I knew something like this would happen, I might as well sell it myself!"
Speaking up to this point, Ferut was filled with anger. If she was a Thief in the past, she would've kept these glowing gadgets without hesitation and found a place to sell them. But because Ferut was now a tour guide, she would no longer do such things. So, Ferut wanted to return the badge immediately.
At that time, Ferut was secretly proud of himself, thinking that he could do good deeds now.
But … .if he knew this would happen, he might as well sell it!
"What? What are you talking about? "
"That's the badge? It looks really beautiful."
The other girls in the recreation room came over one after another. They had all heard about Ferut's experience from Fangzheng, so they were not surprised.
At this moment, Hui Hui, who was staring at the badge, suddenly had a brainwave.
"By the way, didn't Mr. Fangzheng say that this badge will glow in the hands of the witch chosen by the dragon? Let's all give it a try. Maybe one of us will be chosen too! "
"Huh? Really? "
"That's right. You guys should give it a try too!"
Hearing this, Firut's spirit was lifted, and he jumped up.
"Rhine Harut said that there are five Dragon Witches on the prophecy board. Including me, there are only four. There's still one left. Who knows, maybe one of you is the last Dragon Witch?"
"In other words, I might become a king too?"
"It sounds quite interesting."
"Come on, let's have some fun. Leader, you first …."
As he spoke, Ferut handed the badge to the priestess. The priestess seemed a little flustered when she saw the badge.
"L-Leader?"
"That's right. You're the leader of our adventure party, right? Shouldn't you call me leader? Or should I call you boss? "
At this moment, Ferut had also thought it through. If the last person was the Dragon Witch, then he only needed to support her. This way, he wouldn't need to be the King, and the Knight wouldn't bother him anymore. How great would that be!
"This, this …."
"Come on, pick it up. Just treat it as a game."
The other girls also egged him on. The priestess hesitated for a moment before she muttered, "Excuse me." Then, she reached out to pick up the badge. But at that moment ….
"Wait a minute!"
"Whoa."
"What are you doing?"
Everyone was startled by Mai Lu's sudden shout.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of something …."
Mai Lu coughed and smiled awkwardly. Then, she said.
Then, she said, "Since it's a game, why don't we add an interesting condition?"
"Condition?"
"That's right. It's said that as long as the badge shines, it's possible for you to become a king. So before you pick up the badge, let's talk about what you will do if you become a king. It's like introducing a policy program. How about it? Interesting, right? "
"Although I don't know what 'Damp Vibration Spirit' is, it sounds interesting."
The girls nodded in agreement. Mai Lu immediately picked up a banana from the fruit basket and handed it to Ferut.
"What? I just ate my fill. I can't eat anything now. "
"Oh, it's just for show. Ahem, so …. Miss Ferut, if you become a king, what do you want to do?"
"Hmm …."
Faced with Mai Lu's question, Ferut pondered for a while. Then, she seemed to have thought of something. She smiled, revealing her sharp canine teeth.
"I hate those nobles, I hate those knights, and I hate that country even more. So, if I become a king, I'll make them all scram! I'll destroy everything! How about it? Not bad, right? "
"Wow …. Ferut is so bold …."
"Is that okay? You can be a king candidate like that? "
Faced with Ferut's bold declaration, everyone was speechless. They didn't know what to say for a while.
"Well, thank you for your speech, Miss Ferut. Let's applaud!"
Hearing Mai Lu's words, the girls came back to their senses and clapped. Then, Mai Lu turned the banana to the priestess.
"Then, it's your turn."
"Eh? Me? Me? I've never wanted to be a king, but if I become a king, I'll pray for everyone's peace and harvest …. Ah, yes, if I become a king, I can send troops to eliminate the goblins! "
As she spoke, the priestess picked up the badge from Ferut's hand – it did not shine.
"Unfortunately, it seems that you weren't chosen."
Mai Lu, who had assumed the role of host, grumbled. She then passed the banana to Aise, who was standing next to the priestess.
"Then, Miss Aise …. Wait! This isn't for you to eat! "
Mai Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief after she managed to keep the banana that was almost bitten off by Aise.
"So, Miss Aise, what will you do if you become a king?"
"Me …."
Looking at Aise who was deep in thought, the girls widened their eyes. Aise was one of the more taciturn ones among them. She rarely spoke, so this was a rare opportunity. They wanted to hear what Aise had to say.
"I want to hold … a tournament."
However, what they heard from Ace's mouth was a reply that shocked the other young ladies.
"Tournament …."
"… Tournament?"
"Ah!"
Hearing this, the priestess clapped her hands.
"The story that Sir Knight told you before, right?"
"That's right."
Aise nodded.
"Although there's no Mount Hua here, I can find a higher mountain and hold the World Number One Tournament. I can let all the strong participate and choose the strongest among them. That way, I can also compete with the strong people from all over the world."
"That sounds like something Aise would say …."
Hearing Aise's answer, the girls nodded one after another. Then, they saw Aise pick up the badge – it did not glow.
"Then, next, Hui Hui!"
"Huhuhu …. It's finally my turn."
Hearing this, Hui Hui stood up proudly, stretched out her hand, and covered half of her face.
"Actually, I knew that this day would come."
"Huh?"
"All of this is the guidance of fate, a fate that can't be avoided no matter how hard I try. This country, this throne, everything is connected to the blood flowing in my body. I believe that with the name of Hui Hui, the great magician of the Red Devil race, I can …."
"Ah, that's enough. Please explain quickly."
Mai Lu knew that there would be no end to Hui Hui's chuunibyou, so she hurriedly interrupted Hui Hui's speech.
"…. If I become the king, I will declare a festival!"
"Festival?"
"That's right, the Day of Explosive Magic!"
Saying this, Hui Hui raised her hands high in excitement.
"On this day, explosive magic will be released everywhere in the country! Everyone had to learn explosive magic! I will also put explosive magic on the national flag, and then …. "
"Uh …."
Looking at Hui Hui who was talking excitedly, the girls could not help but tremble.
After all, she would really do that!
"Then, let me see the choice of fate!"
As Hui Hui spoke, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the badge!
It did not glow.
Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
