The room was quite dusty, with cobwebs in the corners. The furnishings were simple, and there were occasional marks on the walls that looked like they had been scraped by a wooden sword. The floor was covered with dead leaves that were occasionally blown in through the window, making a rustling sound when you stepped on them.
So dirty… Her professional maid instincts kicked in, and Fim instinctively started sweeping, meticulously cleaning every corner of the room.
After sweeping away all the dust and debris, and carefully wiping the furniture three times with a damp cloth, Fim quickly and efficiently cleaned both rooms until they were spotless.
Wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, she turned her head. Eunice's meal in the kitchen was almost ready and didn't need her help.
Remembering Eunice's instructions, Phim thought about it carefully for a moment, then lowered his head and looked under the bed...
Under the bed were some miscellaneous items, such as a greatsword carved from wood that resembled Apophis, a black wooden box covered with black runes and inscribed with "Forbidden Box", and a small stack of pamphlets tightly bound with newspapers... Out of respect for Mino's privacy, Fim decided not to touch these things.
Suddenly, a small object in the corner caught Fim's attention—it was a small wooden carving in the shape of a human figure that looked very much like Mino.
Fim took the wooden carving in her hands and found that it was indeed Mino. She recognized him at a glance as a young Mino, wearing a heroic cloak, holding a greatsword, and in a very cool pose. Clearly, this was the carving's most satisfying work.
Fim examined the details of the wood carving closely and finally discovered a line of small characters carved at the bottom:
"With a single sword strike, I can shatter a mountain peak! — Mino Lake"
"Wow, so handsome." Fim's eyes lit up.
So Mino already possessed such immense power at such a young age?
Looking under the bed, he discovered many similar small wooden carvings piled up deeper inside. After thinking for a moment, Fim carefully placed the wooden carving in his hand into the pocket of his maid's apron.
"Go back and show this to Mino..."
"Miss Maid, it's almost time to eat—"
Outside the room, Eunice's footsteps accompanied the sound as she entered, slightly surprised: "Wow, you're so capable, you've cleaned so quickly."
"If Mino comes back and finds out that her room was cleaned by such a lovely maid, she'll be very happy."
"Is that so?" Fim asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Yes, boys are creatures who get happy just from girls sticking to them!"
Pulling Fim to the dining table, Eunice smiled and brought out three plates of hot food, saying, "It's been a long time since the house has been this lively, hasn't it, honey?"
At the dining table, Ronald Lake remained expressionless and taciturn as he ate his food.
"Miss Maid, how is it? Is it delicious?"
As a zombie demon, Fim himself has no sense of taste and cannot taste the food, but seeing Eunice's enthusiastic smile, Fim nodded: "It's delicious."
"That's great." Eunice looked happy, then seemed to think of something and said with some regret, "It's a pity. Shana is fine, but Mino hasn't had my cooking in a long time. I wonder if he's doing well somewhere now."
Fim gently put down her spoon, thought for a moment, and then replied seriously:
"Mino, very good."
"Thank you for your comfort, Miss Maid." Eunice said with a bright smile, watching Fim finish her meal.
"If only my child could be cared for by a gentle and lovely maid like you..."
As the sun set behind the mountains, Phim, having slung his bundle and greatsword over his shoulder again, stood by the door and gave a slight bow to Eunice and Ronald.
"Thank you for the hospitality."
"If the maid has something urgent, then there's nothing I can do." Eunice touched her face, then, as if remembering something, went back into the house. When she came out again, she was carrying a wooden lunchbox.
"This is the leftovers from today. If you don't mind, you can take it with you... It won't spoil even after three days and three nights!"
Fim initially wanted to refuse, but then his mind paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and he took the lunchbox...
It was put into the bundle.
……
The capital of Kuer, east gate.
"You may enter the capital by paying three copper coins and presenting the corresponding documents. Also, explain your reason for coming to the capital—" The guard at the city gate had sharp eyes, scrutinizing the portly middle-aged man before him.
"Sir, here are five copper coins and my identification." With a fawning smile, the obese middle-aged man explained, "I'm just here in the capital for tourism. Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen, a very law-abiding citizen!!!"
"Good citizen, huh!" The city gate guard raised his head, circled the obese middle-aged man once to the left and once to the right, and finally questioned him in a loud voice:
"You're highly suspicious! Ten percent, even nine percent suspicious!!!"
"Hands up! I need to see if you're carrying any suspicious weapons, poisons, or even contraband!"
The city gate guard raised a questioning voice. The obese middle-aged man was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "I'm telling the truth, sir. Coming for tourism... isn't that a very common reason?"
"Common? Hey! Common is the most suspicious thing!"
The city gate guards were completely unconvinced: "Hands behind your head, squat down, yes! Just like that... You're quite skilled at it, are you planning to go on a tour of the brothels in the capital—"
The obese middle-aged man, his purpose exposed, blushed crimson and covered his head with his hands. He only stood up reluctantly after the city gate guards had checked his belongings.
"Sir, you have a good eye for people." The obese middle-aged man said timidly, "Now... can I go in?"
"Okay, get lost." The city gate guard waved impatiently, showing no intention of apologizing for his rude questioning.
The obese middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and was not angry about it.
The capital city of Kur, the heart of the kingdom, has the strictest entry and exit checks at its city gates. After all, it's never too much to be careful when letting those vicious mercenaries, thieves, smugglers, or even demons who might infiltrate the city, pass through the city gates.
Getting past these city gate guards with eyes as sharp as hawks is no easy feat...
Thinking of this, the obese middle-aged man raised his head with a sense of accomplishment. Only a loyal and normal citizen like him could pass through so easily.
He was secretly pleased with himself.
At this moment, a strangely dressed person walked along the main road in the city.
However, the city gate guard merely glanced at the man before gently raising his hand and ordering, "Let him pass!"
"Hey!"
The obese middle-aged man turned his head in shock, pointing at the strangely dressed man in front of him: "This guy looks really weird, doesn't he?!"
The city gate guards glanced at him coldly, offering no explanation whatsoever. As for the oddly dressed man, they scoffed, "Country bumpkin."
The strangely dressed man, as if displaying his divine power, spoke loudly in an arrogant tone:
"With my perfectly normal attire, anyone with eyes wouldn't suspect me."
The obese middle-aged man began to doubt his own eyes, scrutinizing the man before him from head to toe—
The other person was wearing a pain-themed robe covered with countless photos of white-haired beauties, with a pure white headband on their head bearing the words "Lena for life". In their left hand, they held a beautifully packaged saintess figure with a greatsword between their legs, and on their right sleeve were countless sparkling limited-edition Saintess Lena badges (smacks).
"This is what you call normal attire?!" The obese middle-aged man was utterly shocked.
"Alright! Enough with the nonsense, you, come here!" Annoyed by the obese middle-aged man, the city gate guard impatiently pointed at the man, went through the perfunctory entry procedures, and asked:
"Identity, reason for entering the city?"
At the city gate, a uniquely styled man proudly raised his head, answering both inquiries with a single sentence—
Amid the not-so-sparse crowd, the man loudly announced:
"I am Lady Lena's dog!"
"Ah."
After glancing at the man, the city gate guard nodded in approval and scribbled a pass in a flourish.
"You, pass."
Chapter 109 Fim is just cosplaying
Hey! Wait a minute, what the heck is "passing the checkpoint"?! And what's with Lady Lena's dog?!
The obese middle-aged man was shocked and inwardly complained.
He, a model middle-aged man who only occasionally visits brothels and has no gambling or addictions, is less credible than an ultimate pervert who exposes his sexual fantasies all over the streets?!
Just as he began to question the meaning of life, a maid appeared at the end of the road as the sky gradually darkened.
Her smooth hair seemed to have a faint luster, and her porcelain-white and smooth skin made her look like an exquisite rag doll from afar. Her empty gray-green eyes contained no emotion, and her petite figure carried a huge sword on her back.
The girl, who exuded a strong presence and clearly had extraordinary intentions, slowly approached the city gate, quietly weaving through the crowd to reach the city entrance.
The city gate guards raised their hands, ready to let people through.
"Hey!"
The obese middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he finally couldn't help but complain again, his finger firmly pointing at the blue-haired maid in the crowd:
"They're not even going to act anymore?! This maid looks really weird! Even if being a pervert is normal in this world, a maid carrying a greatsword just looks strange!!!"
pat.
The maid's little leather shoes came to a gentle stop. The petite and adorable maid turned around, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the city gate guard with a hint of doubt.
The city gate guard could only give a perfunctory answer and ask Fim in a very casual tone:
"Reason for entering the city?"
Fim's stern face remained expressionless: "Execute the mission."
The city gate guard nodded in approval.
"Hello--!!!"
The obese middle-aged man, veins bulging on his forehead, exclaimed, "She just said the four big words 'carry out a mission'!"
"And she's carrying a dangerous greatsword that doesn't look like a mere decoration at all! Aren't you going to check it out?!"
The city gate guard clicked his tongue, listlessly scribbled notes in his notebook, and then asked:
"identity?"
Fim thought for a moment, then clearly said, "Demon."
This time, the city gate guard's brows furrowed deeply—
"That's exactly the expression I should have!" The obese middle-aged man was overjoyed, clapping his hands excitedly and jumping up and down, shouting, "That's exactly the expression I should have!!!"
The city gate guard, his face stern, pressed further, "What breed?"
Fim replied honestly, "Zombie, demon."
The city gate guard's expression immediately relaxed, and he nodded again with an approving look.
"good."
