Start from Firefly and speed through the world

After thinking about it, Clara sent an invitation to Tatsumi.

It wouldn't matter if I hadn't met him, but now that I've met him and know what happened to him, I still feel a little uncomfortable just ignoring him.

As for whether her actions would lead to changes in the plot and Tatsumi would no longer meet the noble lady who liked to torture country people, this was not something Clara considered.

She will not change anything just because of the so-called plot.

If the plot really changes due to some accidents, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Is this... okay? But I have no money."

It would be best for Tatsumi not to have to sleep on the streets, but he scratched his hair in embarrassment. He didn't have a penny left, as that woman had cheated him of all his money.

"It's okay, I have it here."

Clara took out a lot of coins from this world, which were all obtained by her just now. They were obtained by Swarovski from the dead people who followed him.

Although it’s not a lot, it’s enough to live for a few days.

Tatsumi seemed a little embarrassed to use a girl's money, but in the end he did not say anything to refuse, thinking that he could just pay back Kravila double when he made money.

So the two of them started traveling together again, found a hotel not far away, and rented two rooms to stay in.

Consumption in the imperial capital is also divided into different regions. The prices in the civilian areas are not too outrageous. The areas in the center are the prosperous areas where the rich, nobles and officials live.

Many of the people here are civilians and outsiders like Tatsumi who come to the imperial capital to explore the world.

the next morning.

Clara and Tatsumi went to a nearby stall to have breakfast together. Tatsumi seemed to have made up his mind.

"Clara, I want to go to the military recruitment center again."

He didn't sleep the whole night last night, thinking about the next situation. He wanted to look for Shayu and Iyeas, but the imperial capital was so big that it was not easy to find them.

Besides, he has no money now, and he doesn't have the face to ask Clara for help all the time, even though he has a lot of self-esteem.

It’s better to stabilize first, even if you have to start from the bottom.

"Do you still want to go? But didn't we go there yesterday? Have you decided to start from a soldier?"

Clara was surprised to hear what Tatsumi said. Could it be that he was really going to start from the bottom? In fact, Tatsumi's strength was very good. He was born with the talent of a killer and had the qualifications to become a general.

When he was a child, he received training from a retired military instructor in the village and had a certain foundation in martial arts and forging.

He has used his sword skills to hunt giant dangerous species, and can easily take down level one dangerous species.

If he were taken to the military camp, he would be a big shot, so he was confident in his ability and went to the Ministry of War. At least he would be a team leader.

However, because he did not understand the ways of the world and had no connections, he was kicked out.

"Hmm~!"

"I figured it out and wanted to make my hometown better."

"I will work harder, even if I have to start as a soldier. I believe in myself."

"I think Sayou and Iyeas think so too."

Tatsumi looked up at the starry sky, his young face full of hope for the future. Even if he started from the bottom, he would definitely be able to make it.

"..."

Clara fell silent after listening to his words. As for other places, what Tatsumi said was not wrong. Those who have abilities will come to the fore sooner or later.

But this is an empire that has become completely corrupt.

If you want to stand out, you must have abilities like Esdeath, who can rely on her own powerful strength to disregard any rules.

Even the ministers wanted to win her over and cooperate with her.

Otherwise, without connections and sufficient financial capital, the path to advancement is almost blocked, unless you meet a noble person who can help you.

"...Clara believes in you."

Although she was not very optimistic about his decision, Clara didn't know how to persuade him. Could she ask him to join the resistance and rebel directly?

And compared to other places, the Ministry of War might be better.

But if that's the case, wouldn't Tatsumi have any chance of the night raid?

Clara's mind was in such a mess that she couldn't sort it out.

Should she let Tatsumi follow the original plot or support him in what he is doing now? Never mind, just let it go.

It would be too forced to deliberately follow the original work.

The world is always changing, and even if it goes that way, it may not necessarily be what she wants.

"Thank you, Clara."

With Clara's support, Tatsumi felt more confident. He packed his things, said goodbye to Clara, and headed to the military department again.

Clara looked at his leaving back, hesitated for a few seconds, and still said nothing.

Because I don’t know what to say.

Forget it, I might as well find out for myself about the young lady and her noble family who likes to trick country people who come to the imperial capital from other places to make a living into their home and then torture them to death.

As for Tatsumi's matter, we will consider it later.

Clara told her thoughts to Mr. Swarovski, and he just told her not to think too much and just do what she thought was right.

And he has always been by Clara's side, protecting her at all times.

Having made her decision, Clara took a step forward and walked into the bustling street.

Just looking at the pedestrians around her, Clara felt that she was out of place with them. This place was a commercial district with many people coming and going.

Many of them were wealthy businessmen and nobles riding in carriages, and there were also many commoners. There were no poor people at all.

Clara felt that it would be easier to find out information about that family here, so she started asking people.

However, when most people faced her approach, they either ignored her or were disgusted with any contact with her, as if they thought it was a mistake for these bumpkins from outside the imperial capital to get close to them.

Or they were jealous of Clara's beauty and skin, and when they noticed that she had no shoes, they looked down on her.

Of course, there were also some wretched guys who, upon hearing Clara's questions, not only did they not answer, but they wanted to make some moves.

Then Clara quickly avoided him...

I always feel that there is no good person here. They are born with a sense of arrogance. Even if they are not rich, they still feel superior to others because they are locals of the imperial capital.

That kind of inherent arrogance is really uncomfortable, and if I didn't know him, I would have thought he was a celestial dragon.

After hitting a wall several times in a row, even Clara began to doubt herself. Is it possible that there is no normal person in the imperial capital?

Until Clara met an old woman with a kind appearance, and her attitude became completely different from that of others after she got close to her.

Chapter 13: Waste of natural resources, unbearable

When Clara was asking the old woman for information, she didn't notice that she was being targeted again and danger was approaching.

Of course, it could also be a danger to others.

The girl was listening attentively to the old woman's story, when a carriage passed by and stopped not far away.

Sitting inside the carriage was a tall, thin, and frail-looking middle-aged man. Judging from his dress, he was a typical dignitary.

Originally, he just lifted the curtain of the carriage and wanted to see what was happening outside, but he saw at a glance the white-haired elf who seemed to have descended into the world.

Just one glance caught his full attention and made the driver stop immediately.

The girl in front of me can be said to be not as plump as those mature girls. She is much smaller, but she is not a smaller loli. She is much bigger.

She can even be called a string bean-like girl, but this budding mystery brings endless expectations and makes her infinitely inclusive.

This makes men who have had enough of other types of women feel their heart beat fast.

More importantly, she looks sweet and cute, especially her messy hair with two strands of white hair playfully draped over her shoulders, revealing the immaturity of a girl who doesn't know how to take care of herself.

Then her droopy eyes, lazy and cute.

Not to mention her bare feet, which were completely exposed and as perfect as her body from the very beginning.

However, although it was indeed very beautiful and very tempting, he could not stand it. The other party just exposed the rare treasure to others without any care. It should be a treasure that only he could enjoy.

More importantly, she actually dared to step on such a perfect creation on the dirty ground. It was simply the biggest insult to food.

This is a waste of natural resources and is unbearable!

Doesn't she take care of her body?

Not to mention the pollution to the rare treasure, if it is accidentally scratched, wouldn’t it directly destroy the creation that the Creator has carefully carved?

That’s such a pity. Why don’t you take good care of your body?

Speaking of which, with his status, he has seen countless beauties, some of whom are better developed than her, some are younger than her, and some have better figures.

But none of them had made him as excited and impatient as he was now.

It's just an inexplicable desire...

Unable to bear it any longer, the noble man knocked on the car window, and the next moment an attendant approached.

"Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Go find out where she comes from. If she doesn't have any background in Kyoto, I want to see her at home tonight."

"What if it's a big shot from somewhere else..."

"Don't you understand me? As long as they are not from a big background here, send them to me."

The noble interrupted impatiently, saying that as long as it was not related to those people in the imperial capital, he would not care even if it was related to the governor of the local government.

Although those prefects had their own trump cards comparable to those of local emperors, they were far away from the emperor and could only be manipulated in the imperial capital, or even had to come to him on their own initiative.

"Yes."

After hearing this, the follower said no more and turned around to make arrangements.

However, before they could prepare to do anything, another person had already set his sights on Clara and had already taken action.

Coincidentally, this person is the noble lady Arya, who Clara is going to inquire about. She looks cute but is actually vicious and has a bad personality.

Arya was also passing by after shopping, but after noticing Clara, she immediately felt unhappy.

She doesn't like girls who are cuter than herself.

Of course, she was just unhappy at first, but she didn't have any extra thoughts.

After all, there are a lot of people in this place, and there are also nobles like her, so she can't provoke others casually.

However, when she noticed Clara's dress, she didn't think she looked like someone with a background, and she was almost tired of playing with the two toys she had brought back.

If I hadn't taken care of it for two or three days, it might have died.

It's time to get a new toy...

The white-haired girl in front of her looked so disgusting to her. If she was not someone she couldn't afford to offend, she would just treat her as her new toy.

So he said a few words to the guard beside him, and then the guard walked up to Clara.

Clara had just thanked the old woman when she turned around and saw the approaching guards.

However, the guard did not show any arrogance, but was very polite.

"Excuse me, my lady wants to invite you over."

"Your lady?"

Clara was stunned when she heard that, and subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed, and then she saw Arya in the carriage.

This made Clara feel embarrassed. She was just asking about her location, but she didn't expect the real person to appear right next to her.

What a coincidence...

But that’s okay, this way it won’t be so troublesome.

"Don't worry, my young lady has no ill intentions. You are not from the imperial capital, right? Many people know that my young lady is the most kindhearted and often helps those who are in trouble."

"It doesn't matter where you come from, whether you're from the countryside or somewhere else."

As if worried that Clara would be alert, the guard quickly praised his eldest lady's kindness.
