I, Dayan of the senior department, never dies

"Morning, Kelsey."

"It's not night yet, Your Highness."

Kelsey, who was reading a book, shook her head slightly when she heard the greeting.

"Oh, I feel like I've been asleep for a long time."

"You rested for about three hours, and it's dinner time in half an hour."

"Oh, it's a coincidence that I got up."

Came to the table and poured a cup of tea to wake up, sat down on the chair during the daytime, and began to stare outside in a daze.

"What would you like to eat tonight, Your Highness?"

"Anything is fine."

"Then...salt and pepper mashed potatoes?"

"Huh? It doesn't sound very tasty."

"Although it's not delicious, it's not unpalatable either. It just tastes ordinary. But this is a special food in Victoria. You can try it."

"Well... let's try then."

Turns out Kelsey was right, mashed potatoes were neither tasty nor bad, it really was just plain bland.

Bai Tian scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth expressionlessly, chewed dryly and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Except for the large quantity and fullness, this thing has no other characteristics."

Listening to the complaints during the day, Kelsey, who was tasting the Alta steak, slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

"Try this steak, Your Highness."

Pushing the meat steak with only a small piece to the day, Kelsey took the half of the mashed potatoes over.

"I'm almost full, just have a little more to taste, but Kelsey, you should eat more."

During the day, cut off a third of the steak and push the rest back to Kelsey.

"Well, it's really pretty good."

After eating the steak in a few bites, Bai Tian took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then looked at Kelsey with a smiling face.

"Let's try the bath here tomorrow, Kelsey."

"...Then we have to buy everything tomorrow morning, Your Highness."

"Victoria is not safe at night because of the proliferation of prosthetic implants."

"I listen to you, Kelsey."

Back to 44 One or two things about Fog City

It was still raining lightly in the foggy city in the early morning, but the rain did not hinder people's travel.It would be better to say that the drizzle has added a little hazy beauty to people's travel.

"Kelsey, how long is it..."

Carrying a bunch of large and small packages during the day, he called out to Kelsey who was checking the shopping list ahead.

"Your Highness, there are only some daily necessities left, and it will be over soon."

Kyle looked around, looking for shops.

"Found it, Your Highness."

"I won't go in, Kelsey, I'll take a rest outside."

"Okay, wait a moment, Your Highness, I will come out soon."

Kelsey entered the store, and stood under the eaves and leaned against the wall during the day, looking at the scenery of the city.

Six or seven o'clock in the morning is the time when people commute to and from get off work. People come and go, workers going to work in the factory, guards who have just finished their night patrol, students going to school, etc...

It seems that the city is very harmonious.

If you don't count the thinly clad woman standing barefoot at the entrance of the alley.

It was a Feilin with pale white hair, about 20 years old, with a good face, but haggard that could not be concealed.

Because of the rain, her hair and the robe she was wearing were all wet, and she looked pitiful.

"Did you get kicked out of the house?"

During the day, she guessed her identity.

"Ok?"

Daylight raised his eyebrows.

"Although I heard from Kelsey that the law and order in this city is low due to the proliferation of prosthetic implants, violent bullying happened in broad daylight..."

But there were three Ruper gangsters with colorful hair and basically changed arms or legs surrounded the film. They seemed to be talking and wanted to do something to the film.

But that Filin didn't seem to like them, and wanted to run but was caught by a gangster, and the other two pushed her into the dark alley.

"...No way, where are the guards? Where are the passers-by? Don't you want to help?"

Bai Tian was very dissatisfied with the evil deeds of these three gangsters, but what made him even more dissatisfied was the attitude of the people passing by.

That disgusting look, that evasive look... just like that film is like a sewer bug.

Even the guards who were supposed to stop this evil and defend the residents turned a blind eye.

"It's outrageous."

Bai Tian frowned and walked there.

"Let go! You bastards! I won't take your business!"

Feilin's voice of reprimand sounded, but then it attracted the sound of ridicule and beating from the gangsters.

"Stop pretending, you *Victoria swearing*, what's the matter, you take the jobs of those guys who live with shit in the farm circle and are tired and stinky every day, why don't we brothers clean Don’t want to pick it up? Afraid that some brothers won’t give you money?”

"Hold her down! If she doesn't want me to choose her, I'll choose her!"

"Let the buddy come first!"

One gangster covered her mouth, another pressed her upper body, and the last one seemed to be taking off her pants.

Feilin wanted to struggle, but with her strength, how could she avoid the oppression of two strong men, and in the end she could only watch the gangster get closer and closer to her.

"What are you doing."

They were startled by the sudden intrusion of the stranger.

"who!"

They, especially the third guy who was holding his limp little brother stared at the entrance of the alley.

"In broad daylight, you actually used violence against the weak. Is the purpose of your implanting prosthetic bodies to impose your desires that have nowhere to vent on people who are weaker than yourself?"

"Hey hey hey hey hey!"

"Hey hey hey hey hey!"

The third frightened gangster raised his trousers and approached the daylight while yelling.

"Where did you come from, little brat! When your hair is fully grown, just meddle in your own business!"

"I tell you!"

He took a handful of coins from his pocket.

"My brother has money! It's not like my brother won't give her money!"

"My buddy gave her money, and she and my buddy are what you want! Not to mention you, even the nobles in the upper city can't control it!"

"Or, you little chick also want a piece of the action?"

"I haven't tasted meat since I grew up! What's the matter, if you want to eat meat, you won't be able to eat it. It makes my brothers happy. It's not impossible to save some soup for you!"

"?"

Looking at the money in the gangster's hand and listening to his words, a trace of doubt flashed in Bai Tian's eyes.

"Is what he said true?"

He looked at Ferlin who turned his head and asked.

"woo woo woo woo!"

Unable to speak because his mouth was gagged, Feilin shook his head desperately.

"Watch that bitch! Don't let her make trouble!"

The gangster looked very annoyed.

"Hey, boy! Don't let her fool you."

The gangster looked at the strange young man in front of him, he seemed to be a student, or a foreigner...

Students... no wonder you have such a sense of justice.

"I see you don't understand anything."

Since it was speculated that Bai Tian was a student, the gangster didn't want to do anything. He wanted to explain to this young man and let him experience the cruelty of society in advance.

"This guy is a *Victoria swear*. He sits with more men than your classmates every day. The kind who has money and can get it."

"She gave up on herself. You helped her this time, and she will still do it later. Your behavior is meaningless."

"...you are quite reasonable."

During the day, he thought that these gangsters would rush over to beat him up, but now it seems that they are much more sensible than those bandits.

That being the case, he didn't want to bother.

"But if she doesn't agree, you can't force her."

"Hey! Why can't you understand!"

The gangster was a little annoyed.

"I can give you money, and you don't have to disturb her."

Bai Tian took out a roll of Victorian New Pounds and handed it to him.

"...What a fool."

The gangster was not polite, he just put the money in his pocket, greeted the two companions and left.

"Brothers, let's go! There is a treat for fools, let's go to a good place to play."

"Oh! Not bad."

"Lucky."

The three gangsters patted him on the shoulder one by one as they passed by during the day.

Watching the gangsters leave, Bai Tian walked to Fei Lin who was standing there.

"Are you OK."

"thank you, sir."

She dodged her eyes towards Bai Tian, ​​probably not recovering from the atrocity just now.

"It's fine."

Bai Zhou looked at her appearance.

The clothes were a little messy, revealing white shoulders.

There was a fingernail-sized bruise on the pale neck, as if it had been beaten yesterday.

"……that……"

As if sensing the sight of the daytime, Ferlin shrank back, raised his hand and pulled his robe upwards to cover up the bruise.

"Well, sorry."

"No, it's okay."

"Well...although it's a bit rude."
