Manga Born to Be King

　　"Almost?"

　　"It was around here that I met Winnie."

　　This is a wide tree road with many branches connected, the zenith is high and far, and the huge downhill covered with tree roots can be seen in the distance.It was so high that one had to look up, almost like a mountain slope.Winnie, who hurt her foot, probably rolled down from that top.

　　"On the way here, I didn't find anything that could be called a clue..."

　　His gaze swept across the moss-glowing walls, the ground, and various plants, and headed down the slope in the distance.

　　Before long, the two were standing in the shadows of trees and countless foliage.

　　(Adventurer?)

　　From a horizontal hole, a figure appeared.

　　It was a tall man in a hooded robe. He seemed to be wearing armor under the cloth, and his upper body was slightly more bulging than his lower body.The hood is held down low, so it is hard to see the appearance and race, but it gives the impression of a woman.The hooded man seemed to be looking for something, turning his face to look around.The man made the sound of footsteps coming from the direction where the two came.

　　Nangong Xiao and Lily brushed past the hooded robe man.

　　"Smell of fellow countrymen."

　　In an instant, the hooded robed man who passed by turned his head towards the two of them.The hooded and robe man who stopped walking slowly turned around and confronted the two of them.

　　The other's gaze was fixed on the two of them.From under the silent hood, the slender contours of the female face can be glimpsed.Those who stared at the two of them like birds of prey were blue eyes that looked like the ocean or the sky.

　　"Are you the ones who kidnapped your compatriots?"

　　The opponent sent out a very strong murderous aura.Ferocious, like a beast, like a monster.The human race can never imitate the primitive killing intent that threatens the instinct.The blue eyes under the hood were split longitudinally. .

Chapter 297

　　Sunlight from the sky behind the city wall illuminated the exterior of the headquarters.

　　Nangong Xiao and Lily left the stove temporarily. Daphne and Kassandra didn't know where to go in the dungeon to exercise their abilities, and they haven't come back yet.

　　At present, there are people who come frequently, and there are four other people at the headquarters, including Chunji, Winnie, and Hestia.Hestia flipped through books about monsters, or the annals of the city Orari, to collect information.Fate didn't know where she was staying. As for Winnie, she was playing with Chun Ji, who took care of her.

　　"Found Chun Ji!"

　　"Hehe, you found it."

　　Winnie hugged Haruhi, who was hiding in the backlit of the corridor, wearing a maid outfit.

　　The two were playing hide-and-seek, which was one of the games that Nangong Xiao and Chun Ji had played with Winnie several times until yesterday.They said that they must not go out, they could only play in the atrium, and the two took turns to hide.

　　"Change Chunji to be a ghost!"

　　"Okay, then the concubines should be counted."?"

　　Chunji faced the corridor pillars and counted "—, two, three..."

　　Winnie smiled and trotted away.The hem of the robe she was wearing was blown up by the wind, and she looked for a place to hide.

　　(Not back yet?) Just when Winnie wanted to hide behind the plants in the atrium.She suddenly remembered Nangong Xiao who had not returned, and her face became sad.I used to be by my side all the time, but now I'm gone.Although Chun Ji was still with her, she still felt lonely.

　　If you are not careful, your mood becomes more and more unstable.

　　In the dark labyrinth where everyone wants to hurt themselves, only that person smiles to him and saves him from loneliness. For Winnie, he is the light, and for Winnie, he is the greatest comfort.Just like a child seeking the warmth of their parents, the young dragon girl couldn't miss that person.

　　Winnie looked up at the third floor of the mansion, and her eyes fell on the fox girl whose back was to her.After hesitating for a while, Winnie violated her warning and quietly left the atrium.After returning to the mansion, she went to Nangong Xiao's room on the third floor as if attracted.

　　Winnie pushed open the unlocked door and peeked into the room tremblingly.As expected, the owner of the room was not there, she felt a sinking mood, and quietly walked to the bed with the well-folded blanket.She covered her head with a blanket and crawled into the bed.

　　"smell……"

　　Winnie sniffed, and buried her face in the sheets.Inside the closed eyelids, imagining the figure of the man sleeping with her, Winnie shrunk her body into a ball.

　　Inadvertently, she felt the breath.There are four.They walked down the long corridor on the third floor, and filed into the room next to Nangong Xiao's room, where Winnie was staying, a room that was currently unused.

　　Wei Ni felt puzzled, and at the same time was afraid of being scolded, when she held her breath—

　　"...A talking monster other than Winnie?"

　　This sentence did come from the next room (Li Wangzhao).

　　The amber eyes widened, and the long blue and silver hair shook.The twisted and sharp ears of the elf trembled, and in the vast dungeon, the abnormal hearing that even the presence of intruders in the distance could detect, received word for word from the voice of the next room.When she came back to her senses, Winnie had propped up her upper body from the bed without making a sound.The girl quietly pressed her ear against the wall. .

Chapter 298

　　"is this real?"

　　"Yes, on the nineteenth floor, where my brother and Winnie met..."

　　Hestia asked in astonishment, and Lily, who returned, nodded to her with a tense expression.After breaking up with Nangong Xiao, Lily just returned to the mansion.Under her urging, Hestia only took her life and changed the location to the third floor of the mansion for secret talks.In order not to let Winnie and Haruhi, who is close to her, hear.

　　"We talked, and the other party said that we have the smell of our compatriots... I'm afraid it's Winnie."

　　"Could it be that there are other existences that are the same as Lord Vinnie...?"

　　She was speechless, and Lily beside her was silent.

　　"How does the other party make you feel?"

　　"At the very least, I think that person is more intellectual than Winnie. Although he speaks clumsily, he hides his true face in a robe and pretends to be an adventurer... Then he seems to know something."

　　Hestia listened, her throat rattled quietly, and her life gasped.

　　Lily said, "Lily doesn't think it's time to protect Lady Vinnie anymore."

　　This statement caught everyone's eyes.The quickest response is life.

　　"Sir Lily, what are you talking about?"

　　"Lily made it clear that we are about to step into a very suspicious problem. It is an abnormal situation that even the gods do not understand, and besides us, there are other groups that are tracking talking monsters... Now it has been discovered. In the case of other individuals who can speak human language, the course of events is unpredictable."

　　She meant that about this anomaly, they were getting caught up in some major trend.Lily explained the situation extremely objectively based on the information she had investigated in the tavern and other places so far.

　　"But! Saying that we shouldn't protect her any more... What will Master Winnie do like this!? If we leave her alone, she will..."

　　"It may be difficult to do this, but Lily thinks that she can be sent out of the city. She is a dragon girl (Vivere), a god other than Orari or a monster on the surface, so I can't help her."

　　Winnie was born in the middle class and was the strongest dragon among the monsters.Considering the potential ability of the dragon girl, Lily expressed her opinion in a low-key manner.

　　"As long as you hide in the dense forest of Seoru, there should be a way to survive."

　　"Sir Lily!!"

　　Life is for the sake of confidant Chun Ji, and because of the importance of love and righteousness, her eyebrows are raised in anger.Seeing the girl's indignation, Lily made a cold voice to her: "Then, Lily asks you. What can I do to continue protecting that girl?"

　　"Do you really believe that you can continue like this without being discovered by anyone and hide her forever? Lily just said that the situation around us will not allow us to do so. In fact, the Hermes family has already taken over the Someone's commission has begun."

　　Lily suppressed her emotions and reminded her of the Noh mask of the Far East. She continued, "Is she going to keep her mouth shut forever and tell others that she has been trained and passed the trick? I'm afraid it will be difficult, our faction doesn't have any. The animal trainer recognized by the guild, the bigger problem is that everyone will be suspicious when they see the beauty that her monster should not have."

　　"..."

　　"If the gods take a fancy to them, they will definitely come to make fun of us."

　　She hid her distorted expression for what she was about to say, only her tone remained the same, and told everyone coldly: "We and her can't be together... She is a monster."

　　The family and the girl, Lily put the two on the scale and said decisively.And her voice penetrated a wall, shaking the next room.

　　"This conclusion is premature, you should calm down first."

　　Lily was too much for her family... Further, she was too worried about Nangong Xiao and was too impatient, and Hestia spoke out to dissuade her.

　　Just when everyone could not move, the first person to notice the abnormality was Ming.From a short distance next to it, there was a sound of the door from the next room.

　　The dignified atmosphere of the room made Ming's thinking become as dull and heavy as lead, which fatally slowed down his actions.First, she heard the sound of someone running, and then she snapped back to her senses, opened the door and walked outside.She looked around, but there was no one in the long corridor.

　　"Could it be..."

　　Life is conscious, and one's spirit is shaken and uncertain, not a state of perfection.She used the Yatagra Crow skill, which had a significantly narrower range of effects, but couldn't detect any reaction.

　　Winnie ran.She ran across the corridor, rushed down the stairs, and opened the whole door.Winnie ran out of the mansion in an instant and rushed into the street from the back door.

　　(I, I am...!?)

　　The content of the overheard secret conversation came back to his mind.

　　——We have to make a decision to protect him.

　　- We and her can't be together.

　　- She is a monster.

　　The voice of the little human girl only had a cursed lingering rhyme at this time, infringing on Winnie's heart.Like a terrifying sharp sword, it slashed the girl deeply.

　　(I, can't I be with everyone... together?)

　　Her beautiful blue and silver hair fluttered, and the red stone on her forehead shone like she was shouting something.Amber eyes filled with transparent tears.

　　She wished to hear him.Listen to him tell yourself that there is no such thing.She wished to hear him again.Tell yourself it's okay.

　　Hope he can deny all this.

　　Tears dripped from the corners of Winnie's eyes, looking for the figure of that person.In pursuit of the only safe haven, he rushed out of the small garden that he could accommodate.

　　Winnie was afraid of the crowd, so she turned in the back alley several times, and put on the hood on her robe in a hurry. .

Chapter 299

　　The sun sinks into the western sky, the city is dyed crimson, and dusk is approaching.

　　The hustle and bustle enveloped the bustling and lively urban area, and the crowd gradually increased.This is because the adventurers returned from the dungeons scattered, and the laborers who worked hard in the city also went to the tavern to finish the day.

　　Many stores began to formally start trading, opening their doors to attract customers.The aroma of grilled meat and the strong aroma of cooking spirits began to drift, and the delicate melody of the bard playing the harp was combined with the lively tones of the wind instruments.

　　Winnie, who lowered her hood, wandered one of the streets.

　　She had never seen so many pedestrians before, and the sheer number of demihumans terrified her.She didn't have the mood to be interested at all. The tunes of stringed instruments, the galloping carriage, and even the innocent laughter of the children running around made her shoulders jump, and the soles of her feet without shoes came The icy touch of the slate floor.

　　She covered her whole body with a robe, and while afraid that someone would slash her with a knife at any time, she walked on the corner of the street to avoid attracting attention.This street is much narrower than the avenue that runs through the city.Her eyes flew to the center of the crowded and swaying road, and then to the path leading to the back alley, searching every corner in her field of vision.

　　Then, just as she peeked around, she saw that scene.At one corner of the road, a delivery wagon stopped in front of the store.First heard the neighing of the horses, then a sway, the high pile of goods was about to collapse like building blocks.

　　I don't know if the rope is too loose, but the fact is that the load is gradually dumping, and under it, there is a puppy who doesn't notice anything.It was a child running around the streets in the evening.
