The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

The viscous sugar juice quickly outlines a vivid girl on the white slate.With a ponytail and naughty curls at the end of the hair, wearing a skirt armor, the gesture is a handsome appearance with fingers pressed on the hilt of the sword at the waist.There are only a few strokes, but there are nine points of resemblance.

Lucini watched the process without blinking, and praised sincerely: "It's amazing." Drawing such an image with sugar juice, if it was her, she would definitely not be able to draw it.

The vendor smiled friendly, and carefully scooped up the painted sugar figurines—the sugar juice had already solidified when it turned into lines—and handed it to Lucini: "My lord, this sugar painting is very beautiful." It's easy to break, so please finish it as soon as possible." At the end, the kind-faced uncle added, "Please don't use spells to preserve it, it's better to eat the snacks. You will have more things worth preserving."

Lucy Ni, who had one sugar figure in one hand and Bedwell in one hand, blinked, and silently pushed back the idea of ​​"using magic to keep the two sugar figures".With her usual gentle smile on her face, she nodded slightly: "Lu understands, thank you for your suggestion."

In the end, the vendor didn't take any money from Bedwell. According to him, it was a "gift to the Holy Lady and Miss Knight." At the same time, he also welcomed Bedwell and Lucini to come again.The stall owner used the leftover sugar juice to draw a small muffin and gave it to the goblin on Lucini's shoulder in exchange for the right to stroke the top of the goblin's head. The little guy forgot everything as long as he had something to eat. He moved his head very obediently.

After thanking the two girls, they turned and chased after Her Royal Highness.The sugar painting stall owner watched them go away, and he turned his head to talk to the tall and thin stall owner next door with a smile: "Look, the lady saint is the first to patronize my stall, you lost, Kyle .”

The stall owner next door looked at the big, plump and beautiful fruit on his stall, and was rather depressed: "Don't be complacent, Lin, you're just taking advantage of sweets, sweet candies! Which girl wouldn't like them? My peace The fruit is not bad! All of them are delicious!"

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't sell his products to the Holy Maiden, because he didn't interrupt the Holy Maiden when she was watching the guy next door draw sugar figurines, Lin would definitely not be the first stall that the Holy Maiden visited. host.It's a pity that Mrs. Saintess doesn't seem to be very interested in his fruit, so he reluctantly took out the money he lost in the bet from his pocket and threw it to the other party.

The honest-looking sugar painting stall owner took the money and put it in his pocket: "Master Saintess comes out once, are you afraid that she will fail the second time if she doesn't come? Her Royal Highness has said that even if she dies, she will take the Saintess." The lady often takes her out to relax. Thinking about it now, Her Royal Highness really did a great job."

"Did you see the eyes of the saintess? It's bright and serious. Hey, that's what a little girl looks like—huh? When did the money come here?"

Thinking of the lady knight who was no longer a stranger, and who could occasionally see her seriously buying some goods to go back to the temple, the sugar painting stall owner shook his head with a smile.

"..." The owner of the Ping An fruit stall looked at his neighbor quite speechlessly, "Isn't it nice to be so close to Mrs. Saintess? Are you happy? I'll make you happy. Just wait and see, next time you can It must be my booth that attracted the Holy Maiden. You bastard, it’s fine if my customers are attracted by your sugar paintings every time, but this time..."

He muttered for a long time, then suddenly raised his voice and asked in doubt: "Oh... look, did the Holy Maiden stop at Sophia's booth?"

Following the line of sight of the fruit stall owner, Lucini and Bedwell did indeed stop in front of a female stall owner's booth.

It was really too difficult for Lucini to pass through these booths holding the sugar painting without looking sideways.As Grace said, the festival does have a lot to eat.

These snacks that Lucine had never seen before left her mind swayed and dazzled.The sweet aroma and the smell of other foods are constantly wafting through the air. The mixture of various aromas does not make people feel complicated and annoying, but it makes people's saliva almost drip.

Compared to Her Royal Highness's birthday celebration, these are more like a food festival celebration.

Quickly turn over the food balls that are being made in front of you, and sprinkle spices on the browned and crispy surface.The golden yellow is intertwined with dark green and bright red. After the strong fragrance is released, the stall owner with a bright smile puts round snacks in small boxes.

She looked at Lucini who was holding the sugar painting, and handed the box to Bedwell: "Here! This is called octopus balls, please eat."

The stall owner is a Banhai tribe living in the capital of Itenna, and his name is Sophia.She has a human face and legs, and long, curly hair with a hint of blue at the end.

Because she is a half-sea tribe, she doesn't need a lot of water like the pure sea tribe. However, she has inherited the fish farming skills of the sea tribe. The ingredients for these small balls are all raised by herself.

The only place where it can be seen that she belongs to the sea tribe is that the place where she belongs to the ear is the fin ear of the fish.

Considering that Lucini was holding the sugar painting in both hands, Bedwell carefully picked up an octopus ball with the small fork provided by the stall owner and handed it to Lucini's mouth: "Please eat it, Mrs. Saintess."

"Eh, eh? How embarrassing..."

The first time because Bedwell took the initiative to feed, the Holy Maiden who was overwhelmed was still a little unresponsive, and instead felt a little shy.This is the first time that dear Bei Wei has taken the initiative.It's really not easy, isn't it—

"It's inconvenient for you to hold things, Mrs. Saint. In order to prevent you from losing your composure in the process of getting snacks, I will help you. Please don't worry."

The lady knight holding the octopus balls explained the reasons for her actions in a strict manner, blocking all Lucini's thoughts.Well, she was thinking too much.Sighing at the integrity of Miss Knight, the Holy Maiden bit the octopus ball as if to vent her anger.

"Well, it's delicious. Bei Wei should eat it too!"

The taste of seafood is very unfamiliar to Lucini, who has a simple vegetarian meal, except cheese and bread, and at most a creamy soup.

This delicious taste and the taste of spices are perfectly blended together, so that the saint can't help but taste the food—after tasting these snacks, think whether the food for the clergy in the temple is too simple Some.

Would a life like penance be too harsh for the clergy?However, this is exactly what makes the priests of the temple admirable. Not everyone can restrain their desires and eat simple food for ten years.

In fact, I really want to shout out "So there are so many delicious snacks!", but I can't do it. I have to maintain a reserved image outside, so that the saint just smiled shallowly, and then gave a little praise He actively invited his knight to eat a few bites too.The Holy Maiden hopes that Miss Knight can also taste it, after all, good things are meant to be shared.

Then, as expected, it was rejected.

Luxini handed the sugar figurine with herself painted on it to Bedwell: "Then Beiwei can help Lu take it?"

This request is very legitimate, and Bedwell has no doubts about him.

Consistent with the sassy posture of Miss Knight who is about to draw her sword but has not drawn it, the sugar figurine of Lucini shows her lowering her head slightly and listening to others' words.

Before Her Royal Highness ran away to look at the mask on her own, Lucini met several curious children.These children came out together, Bedwell was subconsciously vigilant, and then stopped by Lucini, smiling and listening to the immature words of those children.

The Holy Maiden was free, and for the first time, she used the small fork that Bedwell put down to catch the sugar man to fork the ball so quickly for the first time, and then brought it to Miss Knight's mouth: "Eat, dear~"

"Saint..."

As soon as Miss Knight opened her mouth, the Holy Maiden took the opportunity to stuff this ball into her mouth.Lucini still maintained the "smile that a saint should have", but the smile was a little more cunning, and she asked, "How is it?"

"……delicious."

Miss Knight was silent for a while, her face flushed slightly.

She actually let the saint, let the saint do this kind of thing again!So remiss!And it's still in public, like this.Ah, by the way, in public, in public, the saintess should pay attention to her manners—but...

This is to relieve the saint's anxiety and depression. She should not remind the saint to pay attention to maintaining the "mask of the saint".

Because the other party... looks so happy.

Bedwell, whose mind was in a mess, managed to sort out her thoughts, and finally decided that today she should follow Lucini's wishes.This is an apology for her dereliction of duty for ignoring the spiritual needs of the saint.

Lucini got Bedwell's reply, and she didn't dare to go too far in a place with so many subjects, so she motioned for the muffins to taste, and she turned to look at the half-sea stall owner: " Cough, Lu likes this taste very much, please have another one."

The Pope, maybe he will also be interested in such snacks?Counting the time, the other party is about to wake up from a deep sleep.

"Good lady! By the way, this little ball can only be preserved by magic for three months at most. The best thing is to eat it quickly to be the tastiest." Sophia, the owner of the half-sea stall, reminded while flipping the ball. , "If you want to eat, you can come and buy it anytime."

"——Are you a saint? Gold and silver eyes, a red-haired guardian knight, a green-eyed contract fairy, you are the sun and moon enlightener Lucini, right?"

A slightly excited male voice sounded from nearby, and Bedwell suddenly stood in front of Lucini, looking at the man who quietly appeared here.

The other party looked to be in his twenties, and even though it could be seen that this person had tried his best to dress up, he still had an aura of useless wood, a kind of unideal, Insensitivity to the feeling of the walking dead.

Except when this person looked at Lucini.Although he dodged a little, he seemed to be ignited for a moment, and the way he looked at Lucini was like looking at a dream.

This look made Bedwell on the side feel uncomfortable, but Miss Knight didn't understand where her short-term hostility came from.

"I have something to tell you, can... can you come with me?"

This guy's longing for Ai Ai, for some reason, made Lucini think of Rosie who once stopped her and Bedwell, the visitor from another world who tried to get close to His Excellency the Great Sage through Bedwell.

Perhaps it was intuition, Lucini felt that this person was also a visitor from another world.

The Holy Maiden immediately withdrew it with a somewhat relaxed smile on her face: "Sir, what do you want?"

The other party looked left and right, and his eyes roughly swept across Sophia who was quietly flipping the octopus balls, and finally fixed on the ground in front of Lucini. I don't know if it's fear or something towards Lucini, who is still a girl.

"It's not very convenient here, let's go to another place. Well, if you don't mind, I don't have anything..."

A light curtain rose from the feet, wrapping the three of them in the same isolated space.Bedwell kept her finger on the hilt of the sword, looking at the young man vigilantly.

Outside the light curtain, Sophia, the stall owner of the Banhai tribe, silently shook her head at the fruit stall owner Kyle and the sugar painting stall owner Lin diagonally across the street.

The author has something to say: Luoxi get, a visitor from another world? ? ? get.Don't worry, there will be no entanglements!
