25 – Leonhard’s Nation – 2
The next afternoon, I left the castle with Ellie and headed to the main street where ordinary prisoners lived. In the case of Ellie, her face was known to some extent because she was of royalty, so she came out with a hooded cloak covering her face.
For reference, I feel very good today. If you ask why, it’s very simple. Because yesterday I finally ate something like food. To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t have the ominous thought of what to do if normal food didn’t taste good because of the [Evil Eater], But fortunately I was quite happy to realize that I could eat the food without any problems.
“By the way, Ellie, as a princess, is it okay to go out without an escort?”
“When I said I was going with Gaon, my father understood. Of course, it was a bit difficult to persuade, but…”
As the king of beasts, it is 99,999 times more likely that I objected because I didn’t like the fact that my daughter and an extramarital man were attached to me rather than objecting because I lacked the qualifications as an escort. Yesterday, I heard from the lady-in-waiting that he was the most outstanding of all the kings of Leonhard’s kingdom, except for his children.
Honestly, he looks like his brain is full of muscles, and he felt a little different from being called a wise king, but he seems to be a person who knows how to properly distinguish between public and private life. That’s why he readily handed me the key to the treasure chest.
“Then, first of all, the capital of the country of Leonhardt is called Leonhardt after the name of the country.”
“Is the name of the country and the capital the same?”
“That’s right. Leonhardt, the capital city, has a large square and downtown in the center, and the streets where beastmen live are divided around it.
“It’s a rough name.”
From noble mtl dot com
“It can’t be helped, because of the characteristics of beastmen living together with the same kind of beastmen, our ancestors decided it this way. If we build it coolly, we don’t know exactly which tribe lives, so we just simplified it.”
I arrived at downtown listening to Ellie’s explanation. In the downtown area, many types of beastmen were laughing and doing business, shopping, and dating.
As I looked at the prisoners walking around the downtown area laughing for a moment, I got a question and asked Ellie.
“But don’t you know there’s a war? Why do you look so happy in a wartime situation?”
“I believe in my father, because he is one of the top 4 on the continent no matter what anyone says.”
It seems that the general public does not know that the beast king, who is the top 4 on the continent, fell into a trap and was in danger. Perhaps even from the point of view of the beast king, he knew that the beast kingdom was repeating a happy daily life because he had the support of himself, so at the time of the war, the details did not seem to be disclosed to the general public. In fact, just the fact that there is an existence that threatens the life of the beastman king will make the people of the beastman country feel greatly feared.
“Oh, there’s a performance!”
Ellie reminded me of her cheeks as if she was excited, took my hand and dragged me almost halfway by force. Of course, with my strength stats, I could easily defeat Ellie, but she didn’t bother. It was because it was good to see Ellie happy.
“Wow…That’s amazing!”
“Are you curious about that?”
“Sure! Usually, I come down to downtown with an escort, so everyone knows I’m a princess…Thanks to that, I couldn’t afford to watch the performance so leisurely.”
“Princess also suffers a lot.”
“That’s right. If I was just a local noble lady, I would have enjoyed eating and playing for the rest of my life.”
As expected, Ellie, do you know the truth of the world? Eating and playing is the best cancer.
“I guess the show is about to end now, so how about some snacks?”
“Snack?”
“Yes, there are many stalls selling food in the plaza. If I order it instead, Gaon will do it for me in case it gets stuck.”
The meaning behind this princess must be, ‘I want to eat snacks, but since you’re a princess, if I order something, you’ll find out, so you’ll do it for me!’ She wanted to eat herself and asked me… She was a very demanding princess.
Of course, to be honest, I also wanted to try food stalls, so I obediently took money from Ellie and approached the stalls selling skewered food. Then the wild boar man who seemed to be the owner of the stall looked at me curiously.
“Human? A human at this time? Is he a human with the nationality of the Beasts?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then how can you be in the country of beasts? Right now outsiders are not allowed to enter the country of beasts… Or are you an adventurer who has settled in the land of beasts before then?”
“Uh… That’s right.”
“By the way. I’m sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a human and it’s amazing. What do you want?”
“Two skewers, please.”
“Ten fairy tales.”
I took one of her silver coins from Ellie’s purse and handed it over to her owner. Ellie had told her that one silver coin was worth 100 copper coins.
“Silver coins? That bothers me.”
The stall owner gave me 90 fairy tales without any error while grumbling. I used telekinesis to levitate the skewer and put the fairy tale into the money bag.
Then the man who saw the scene was surprised and asked me.
“Are you a wizard?”
“Similar.”
It was thanks to [Psychokinesis] That the skewer floated in the air, but it must have looked like magic in the eyes of the man.
“So you belong to the Mage Tower?”
“A magic tower?”
“Don’t you know? They say that most wizards belong to the Mage Tower.”
‘Magic Tower? Where is it?’
I went back to Ellie with my skewer telekinetically floating, and Ellie grabbed one of her skewer handles floating in the air and began biting them off. I asked Ellie.
“Ellie, do you know where the magic tower is?”
“Yum yum… The magic tower? If it’s the magic tower…”
Ellie ate half of her skewer before she knew it and pointed her finger in a direction.
“You see the tower over there? That’s the Magic Tower.”
“Ooh…”
In the direction Ellie pointed, there was a tower-shaped building that was unusually tall unlike the other buildings. It’s definitely a building that reminds me of a mage tower just by looking at it.
“I heard that there is at least one mage tower in every kingdom, not just beasts. In the case of empires, the mage towers are divided by attribute.”
“Ooh…”
“By the way, each Mage Tower has the highest position called the Mage Tower Master, and I heard that the Magic Tower Master is a wizard with a basic level of 60 or higher.”
I was not impressed with Ellie’s words. A level 60 mage? [Those who fell into the void] To me, who have the ability, they are opponents worse than Abyss Wolf. Although he is actually a curse mage, he won a victory against level 83 Lilith.
In an instant, interest in the Mage Tower disappeared. Now, it would be more interesting to have a tower with warriors over level 60, called the Tower of Warriors.
“Right. Gaon, don’t you have any personal clothes yet?”
“Oh, isn’t it?”
The clothes I am currently wearing are not the T-shirts I was wearing when I was transferred. The T-shirt was burned in the labyrinth, and most of the pants he was wearing were torn as he rolled in the labyrinth. So, the clothes I’m currently wearing are everyday clothes borrowed from the royal castle.
“Then no, a person has to carry 10 sets of clothes.”
“No, I don’t need that much?”
“Stop talking and follow me!”
After that, I followed Ellie to a clothing store shopping. To be honest, I didn’t know because I had no dating experience on Earth, but shopping for clothes with a woman was an act that consumed quite a bit of mental energy, even for me with a [Cold mind]. It was a useful time to understand why men with girlfriends hate clothing stores as a date course.
“Okay! That should be enough.”
“Yes……”
“Why are you so weak?”
“No…..”
Of course, I bought all the clothes I bought. It didn’t take much effort because I was a telekinetic person, but it felt like a boyfriend who was dragged along on the day my girlfriend was shopping, so I felt depressed.
After that, we ate dinner around the downtown area, stopped by various shops, and walked around like we were really dating.
In the end, it was past 8 o’clock and the surroundings started to get dark, and Ellie asked me while looking at the magic lantern that started to light up.
“Shall we return soon? My father will be worried if he returns too late.”
“Then, even mana is dangerous.”
Ellie bought so many things that two-thirds of her mana was consumed by the [Psychokinesis] She used to lift her things. As a result of my experiment with [Psychokinesis], About a third of mana was consumed when I lifted a rock weighing more than 5 tons for an hour. In other words, helping Ellie with her shopping is twice as hard as lifting a 5-ton rock for an hour.
“hehehe, I had enough fun today, didn’t I?”
“That…Isn’t it?”
To be honest, it was more difficult than fun, but… I got a lot of useful information, so I have no regrets. Instead, if I asked him to do it one more time next time, he would not be able to do it.
“Then let’s go back to the castle.”
“Yes.”
I followed Ellie down the darkened streets.
But something felt strange. No matter how late it was, there were no people around. Quite a few people just a moment ago disappeared altogether.
I felt bad and tried to stop Ellie. But I couldn’t help but harden her face when I saw her Ellie figure.
“Ellie?”
“……………..”
Ellie is stopped. It is not an ambiguous expression of stopping walking. She’s really stuck As if time has stopped.
Not blinking, not breathing. I couldn’t even hear a heartbeat. Noticing that something was going wrong, I quickly began to gather mana.
‘Who are you? Hijacker? Or Rex and Lilith?’
I was wary of the streets where time stopped and lost their life. Then, the figure of a person presumed to be a woman appeared from far away on the street.
The woman had beautiful black hair, and her eyes were unusually red. Lilith, the succubus she saw last time, also had red eyes, but her eyes were closer to pink than this woman’s.
Also, as the distance got closer and closer, I saw the woman’s features in detail, and I was very surprised.
The woman with black hair and red eyes was unusually beautiful. The black-haired woman was too beautiful to be called a mere human being, to the extent that one had to give a hand to the beautiful Ellie and Lee Seo Yoon Do-i.
‘No, this isn’t the f*ck!’
I came to my senses quickly with [Sober Mind] And used my emotions toward the woman.

I instantly sensed that I had been f*cked a lot.
