Symphony for the Insect Princess

"——It's normal to be interested in a coquettish widow. Yes, it's normal!"

Looking at the three jokesters, Rodrigo shrugged.

"Look at what you're saying, teacher, I'm just too busy... huh? Wait, widow?"

"Yes, you see—"

Carlo quietly pointed behind him, where a young girl, barely ten years old, emerged from the backstage door. Smiling sweetly, she hugged the proprietress's legs and acted coquettishly, while the proprietress responded with a wry smile. The girl was a delicate, delicate creature, with the same long, wavy hair and the same obsidian eyes as the proprietress. They were clearly mother and daughter.

"It's not good to say she's a widow. Maybe the man is just out for something—"

"No, no, no, we've been here for two days and have never seen her husband."

"Later, Senior Shule, that big mouth, actually went to ask, and the owner's wife said herself that her husband had passed away many years ago."

"You guys, stop prying into other people's sad stories..."

"Not really... The boss lady looked very calm when she told us, and she didn't look sad at all... Ah!"

Shule seemed to have a bad association and his face changed.

"The rape rate in Balbula is several times higher than anywhere else, and she's such a beautiful woman, could it be that—"

"What is it?"

"""--babble!"""

At some point, the girl who was less than ten years old, the proprietress's daughter, came over and looked at them with her big eyes blinking and an innocent look on her face.

"Uh...uh..."

"Big brother?"

"Uh, uh! We didn't say anything bad, okay? Really, really!"

"Hey~~ But I just heard you say something about being strong-"

"That's not happening!"

at this time--

"I'm sorry! My daughter has caused you trouble!"

The proprietress hurried over and grabbed her daughter's hand.

"You kid! Didn't I tell you not to disturb the guests—"

"But, but I'm just curious..."

"It's not strange, but just be obedient. Mom will play with you after the peak period is over!"

"It's a deal!"

The girl smiled brightly again and ran into the backstage door with light steps, leaving behind only a string of giggles.

"This child...sigh."

The proprietress shook her head, turned and left, and continued to busy herself with other things.

Just as she turned around, a soft but far-reaching voice floated into Rodrigo's ears.

"I don't mind, but please don't let the children hear your gossip."

"..."

Rodrigo showed an awkward expression for a moment, but he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, stop talking nonsense. Now that we are all here, let's set off for Kasolu City!"

""""oh!!!!""""

Perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, everyone responded enthusiastically, except for one person.

"Um...Qimira-chan?"

Clara asked curiously when she saw Qiumila looking at the proprietress who was busy serving wine and food with a strange expression on her face.

"It's nothing..."

"Could it be that he felt unbalanced after seeing the boss lady's amazing figure?"

"You are so rude! My breasts will grow... in the future! Besides, I am concerned about other things!"

"other?"

"Uh……"

Qimila scratched her face and asked uncertainly, "Although I'm not entirely sure, but... your teacher just set up a simple soundproof barrier, right?"

The soundproof barrier can prevent the sound within the barrier from escaping to the outside world. It is the most commonly used barrier for secret conversations.

"Yeah, unless we're willing to let people outside hear us, like when we're ordering food, people outside definitely can't hear what we're saying."

"So...what's going on with that little girl?"

"Little girl—eh?"

When those people were talking about the boss lady just now, they definitely didn't intend to let people outside hear it.

So, how did that lovely daughter hear it?

"Maybe the teacher was distracted just now? That's why..."

"Yeah, I guess so... What's the boss lady's name? She's always the boss lady."

"Senior Shule did ask about her name. I think it's Charlotte... or Xia Duo? Oh, right, it seems to be Charlotte Phoenix."

"Strange name... Wait, why do I feel..."

Do you seem to have an impression?

Qimila shook her head and quickly put the matter behind her. She stood up with the others and drank the wine in one gulp with great vigor.

"Wait, Miss Qiu Milan, are you sure you want to go with us?"

"I've said it several times. My name is Qimila! I am the one from the endless chaos and darkness—"

"Okay, okay... but are you serious? You're barely at the level of an intermediate magician, which would be considered impressive at your age elsewhere, but..."

"It's okay, I'm very strong—"

----------------

A few hours later, at noon, in Kasol City—

“——What a strong ghost, wua ...

Qimila screamed and fell to the ground, tears and dust made her face look like a little cat. At the same time, a huge figure flashed by more than one meter above her head!

"Get out of the way, little girl!"

Then there was another cold roar, and a woman with white hair and red eyes stepped over Qiumila, who was lying on the ground like an ostrich, and chased after the man. The magic power radiating from her body almost pressed Qiumila into the ground!

“Ugh… What the hell… This great and powerful concubine actually…”

"Are you okay, Chimila-chan?"

The two sisters Kokoro Kokoa hurriedly grabbed Qimila, and the three of them fled from the center of the chaos in a panic. Rodrigo immediately whispered a spell, and two magic circles emitting a bright green light emerged in front of him. Three green vines instantly wrapped around the three of them and pulled them over.

""teacher!""

"Hmph... Hmph! I'd like to thank you for your rescue..."

"Don't say anything! Ah, it's really a shame! We've only just arrived in the city and we've already encountered something like this! Mother of Ultramarine, merciful Creator, protect your child! Vine-Wrapped Protection!"

The spell weaved into shape, and light green vines wrapped around each person, but it only lasted for a moment before the vines disappeared, leaving a hazy green halo on each person.

"Alright... this way, even if a wizard-level attack hits you directly, you can withstand it," Rodrigo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the students who were still in shock. "If you get caught up in a fight between war spirits, you're dead! In short, keep your distance first—but not too far, as there aren't many opportunities to observe war spirits fighting up close!"

Taking advantage of the cover of dust and the crowds of people who came to watch the excitement, the group quickly moved to the second floor of the restaurant next door and mixed with the diners who gathered by the windows and shouted loudly at the outside. Only then did they calm down a little and watch the battle outside.

Clara and the two sisters looked very scared, as if they couldn't wait to leave, while the three boys looked very excited. After all, you couldn't see a real life-and-death struggle in the academy.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo... Just two war spirits dare to act so rashly in front of me, the playgirl of the endless dark chaos. What vulgar people you are!"

Qimila seemed to have forgotten her previous embarrassment. She stood aside and posed. When she found that no one was paying attention to her, she put down her pose and sighed in boredom.

(Really? This isn't what I imagined... Anyway, why on earth did I come here... Hmm?)

"Hey, my beloved Clara!"

"'Family'...does it mean friends?"

"We're not friends!"

"You make me a little sad when you say that..."

"Eh, eh, eh? No, no, no, what's the point? I... no, I just felt... suddenly, like, friends or something... ah, so-called dependents are..."

"Stop hemming and hawing. What's going on, Chimila-chan?"

"You have a bug on your shoulder."

"What? Just a bug...a bug!?"

Clara turned her head.

She happened to meet eyes with the strange-looking flying insect lying on her shoulder.

"Aa ...

The extremely high-decibel scream scared everyone, and the strange flying insect flapped its wings and flew away.

At first glance, the insect looks a bit like a dragonfly, but its head is almost entirely covered with compound eyes, making it look like a small ball full of holes, which is very strange.

(Not just any ordinary bug? A low-level magical beast? Someone's familiar?)

Qimila thought strangely, silently memorizing the appearance of the insect in her mind. At this time—

"——!?"

A strange feeling ran through her heart.

It felt like a claw was scraping across my cheek, like ice water was being poured over my head, like a sharp knife was stabbing my skin.

Overly sharp intuition and overly powerful predictive ability hidden deep in the consciousness are so strong that they can even make the limbs feel real pain.

She knew exactly what this feeling meant.

Since coming to Balbra, she had no idea how many times she had been saved by her overpowering intuition.

"Everyone! Get out of the windows!!!"

""""""What!?""""""

Those who hadn't recovered from Clara's scream were all confused, but they subconsciously took a few steps back.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The next moment, the huge figure smashed through the outer wall of the restaurant and flew in with fragments of bricks, stones and glass.

"Fuck... dog... fuck... dead bitch..."

The burly man with a face full of flesh ignored the scratches on his body, stood up suddenly, and stared at the wall where he had knocked a big hole.

"Ouch? If the words you spit out from your dog mouth can break my bones, then go ahead and curse! Or are you finally giving in?"

The woman with white hair and red eyes walked in from the hole in the wall with a sinister smile on her face.

Chapter 35 Sadron Heydrich (urgent update!)

Just a few minutes ago—

The mercenary group and the knight-led investigation team faced off on the street.

...To be precise, there was only one person who was confronting the war spirits of the Knights and several mid-level and high-level magic warriors.

"Hey! Sedroon..."

Osam wanted to go forward and pull Sedroon away, but he hesitated for a moment and stopped.

Sedraon is seeking death.

As a mere lone ranger, she provoked the war spirit of the Knights in public, and the other party was a notorious battle maniac.

She was just a temporary member and had no relationship with Osam and the others. There was no need for him to help her and risk creating a feud with the Knights' Investigation Team.

She should bear the consequences of the trouble she caused. What they have to do now is to stand by and watch. Once the wrath of the Knights' War Spirit falls on them, they should immediately cut off ties with this woman. This is the safest approach.

With this thought in mind, Osam gently shook his head at both Berissa and Li Jin. Berissa immediately understood and gestured to her sisters to keep away. Li Jin also nodded. Although he was unhappy with the knights, he was even more unhappy with this idiotic woman.
