"It's okay, I have some snacks here. You've been running around all day, come and have something to eat."
Mi Zhou took out a bag of marshmallows from his space bag, tore it open and handed it to Emilia.
"Then... I'll just eat a little."
Emilia hesitated for a moment, but she had indeed been outside looking for the medal for a whole day, and she had not eaten a single grain of rice and was so hungry that she felt a little dizzy.
“This is quite delicious…”
Biting the sweet and soft marshmallow, Emilia showed a somewhat surprised expression on her face.
This... is truly the most delicious thing she has ever eaten!
"That's right! I love this so much."
Mi Zhou said proudly.
…………
At this time, Firut and Grandpa Rom, who had already fled to another slum, also stopped.
After all, I've been running for so long and neither the Hunter nor Emilia has caught up with me, so I guess there should be no problem.
"Lord Rom, I'm really sorry for ruining your stolen goods warehouse this time. I didn't expect those two women to be so good at fighting. I think we should quickly find a place to sell this badge and get money to compensate you."
Firut said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hahahaha, what's the relationship between us? Don't take it so seriously."
Grandpa Rom laughed and patted Felt’s shoulder kindly.
Firut reached into his pocket and tried to take out the badge, but his expression changed as soon as he touched his pocket.
"No, gone?"
"What's missing?"
Grandpa Rom asked curiously.
"Badge... The badge I stole from that silver-haired woman... How, how did it disappear??? Did I accidentally drop it on the road?"
Firut anxiously reached into her other pocket and started searching. Of course, there was no way she could find Emilia's badge, after all, the badge in her pocket was taken away by Mi Zhou using the power of space.
"No, that's impossible. There's no hole in my pocket. How could it disappear... When did it disappear?"
Firut was sweating profusely in anxiety. She had no means of making a living. Apart from stealing, the only way for women in the slums to survive was to sell themselves, and she didn't want to be a prostitute.
It is not possible to steal valuable things every day. She had planned to rely on this business to make a living for the next period of time, but she did not expect that the valuable badges she stole would disappear in the end. If this continued, she would become physically exhausted due to lack of money for food. When she was physically weak, her success rate in stealing would decrease, making it more difficult to make money, and she would eventually fall into such a vicious cycle.
This world is a cruel place. You can't get food by begging on the streets. You can't do anything without money, so she works so hard to steal things.
"Okay, Feruto, calm down. Since you can't find the things, there's nothing you can do now. I think you've worked hard all day. I still have two silver coins here, which is enough for us to spend for two or three days. Let's go buy some bread first."
Grandpa Rom touched Felt’s head and spoke.
He treated Firut as his own granddaughter, so naturally he wouldn't say anything unpleasant at this time.
"Okay... okay... I'm causing trouble for you again, Master Rom. Not only did I cause problems with your stolen goods warehouse, but I also had to spend your money on food."
"Hahaha, you will pay it back later, right? You little brat have a high self-esteem. You will pay it back after eating today. Why are you being so polite? You are just eating with your own money."
Grandpa Rom laughed and counseled Firut, then took her to a bakery and bought the cheapest hard bread. The two of them shared the bread in silence along the way.
"Tomorrow, I will work hard to steal something good!"
Biting the bread that was as hard as a rock, Felt spoke seriously.
"Let's wait and go to the slums in the east to avoid the limelight. That little elf girl is very strong. Even I can hardly defeat her. Firut, you lost your knife, so you will be at a disadvantage against her."
"If the other party comes after the badge and you can't produce it, she might fight you to death. It's too dangerous to go out and steal things now. Besides, your employer is also going to kill you. You should stay out of the spotlight first."
Grandpa Rom spoke up.
"But! But!!! I have to pay the money back as soon as possible..."
Firut said relentlessly.
"Idiot, how are you going to pay me back if you're dead? Huh? Tell me, you can only pay me back if you're alive!"
Grandpa Rom slapped Firut on the back, and Firut was choked by the bread. She had to swallow the bread in her mouth with great difficulty.
"I understand the truth! But if I don't have money, you and I will starve together!!! I don't want you to bear the consequences of my mistakes! It was because of me that Rom lost the warehouse of stolen goods."
Firut said with great guilt.
"Ha, do you think too highly of me, an old man? Don't worry, I have a few old acquaintances. It won't be a problem for me to take you to them to beg for a meal. I still have some face."
Grandpa Rom spoke to comfort Felt.
Firut is still young and acts impulsively, so he has to take care of the child.
Otherwise, if no one was there to hold her back, she might suffer a great loss or even die.
"Well, then... I'll listen to you, Master Rom."
Seeing that Uncle Rom was determined to take him to find a job, although Firut still wanted to work as soon as possible to pay Uncle Rom back, he still agreed to Uncle Rom's proposal.
…………
At the stolen goods warehouse, after Emilia ate half a bag of marshmallows, Moyin and the other two left the warehouse.
"Speaking of which, Moyin, Mizhou, where are you two from? I should have heard of your names since you are so good at fighting."
Emilia asked curiously.
"Ha, well, Mi Zhou and I are from a mysterious ancient country in the far east. You've definitely never heard of it."
Mo Yin replied with a smile.
"Hey, this Kingdom of Luknica should be the easternmost country in the world..."
Emilia was a little confused.
"That's why it's called a mysterious ancient country. Because it's mysterious, outsiders don't know about it."
"Is that so? Then how come you two are so skilled?"
Putting aside Moyin who can suppress the Hunter, even the seemingly inconspicuous Mi Zhou used his stealing skills to steal Firut's stolen badge without her noticing. She felt that Mi Zhou might even be given the title of Thief Saint.
And Moyin's strength is probably no less than that of Reinhard, the best swordsman in the Kingdom of Lukenica, who has the title of Sword Saint.
"We have encountered many powerful opponents along the way. Fortunately, we have survived until today, so we have become stronger without realizing it."
Moyin spread his hands.
"Those two didn't save any money?"
Emilia found it a little unbelievable. Strong people like Moyin and Mizhou should have some savings after traveling all the way. It was really too strange that they came to her without a penny and asked her to hire them.
Although Emilia wanted to tell herself that Moyin and Mizhou were simply kind-hearted, from the conversation just now, Moyin and Mizhou might not be good people...
There are too many doubts and she can't control her curiosity.
"Because we both live paycheck to paycheck. Even though Mi Zhou is small, she can eat a lot, and she prefers good and expensive food."
Moyin put his hand on Mi Zhou's shoulder and started to shift the blame.
"The Koshihikari? What is that?"
Emilia tilted her head cutely. This was another word she had never heard of before.
It seems that Moyin and Mizhou did travel from a distant country.
“Every month, all the money I earn is spent within the same month.”
"Ohhhh, so that's how it is."
After listening to Moyin's explanation, Emilia's doubts immediately disappeared. This is also a way of life.
After turning an intersection, Moyin bumped into a petite figure.
The other party took two steps back before he stabilized his body. Moyin looked carefully and saw a pink-haired girl dressed in a maid suit standing in front of him, but her eyes were fixed on Emilia beside her.
"Lady Emilia, I'm so glad to have found you. I'm so sorry. It was my fault that I couldn't find you the first time. Were you deceived by the bad guys?"
Ram apologized while looking at Moyin and Mizhou with a wary look.
"Ah, Ram, actually my badge was stolen before, and I was assassinated by a killer. It was these two who saved me at the critical moment. Mr. Moyin and Miss Mizhou are both my important guests."
Emilia began to introduce Moyin and Mizhou.
"I see. Thank you both for protecting Lady Emilia while I was away. I am so sorry for the insolence. Please come with me to Master Roswaal's mansion, where my Master Roswaal will present you with a thank you gift."
Ram lifted her maid's skirt and performed a standard skirt-lifting salute.
"No problem at all, I'll give you this~"
Mi Zhou happily ran to Ram, took out a chocolate sandwich crisp, removed the wrapping paper and handed it to Ram.
She really likes the sister maids Rem and Ram, and in fact, she already regards them as her own property.
"This... Lady Emilia..."
Ram hesitated, then glanced at Emilia.
"Ah, the food Mi Zhou gave is delicious? I don't think she will tease you, you can try it."
Emilia answered, after all, the marshmallows just now were delicious.
Chapter 1035: Then I have a crush on your maid.
"That's rude."
Ram took the chocolate-filled crisp that Mi Zhoudi gave her and took a bite. Immediately, a sweet, happy, smooth and delicious feeling came from her mouth.
Ram's eyes widened for a moment, she had never eaten anything so delicious... After all, this was a chocolate-filled crisp made from a different world using a variety of high-end synthetic agents. It was too much of an impact for the local cuisine that usually only used honey and sugar to sweeten the food.
"This is... really excellent food."
After quickly putting the remaining half of the chocolate-filled crisp into his mouth and enjoying it, Ram began to praise it.
"Hey~ If you like it, I have more here. I can give you a few more~"
After saying this, Mi Zhou happily handed Ram a few more chocolate chips.
"Oh, by the way, you have to remove the outer packaging before eating. It is used to preserve the food from being contaminated and cannot be eaten."
