Shesi sighed at the sight. His younger brother was still too fond of playing. If he had learned all the previous etiquette like him, he would only need to pay attention to the etiquette of some special races now… As for what special races referred to… "I won't be able to play with you guys recently," Iruma said, looking at Azu and Clara.
"Huh??" x2
Azu and Clara both looked at the two in shock.
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to participate in Debikirin, so I need some training."
"I also need to make some preparations, and I'm going to the north recently," Shesi said.
"Debikirin?" Azu began to ponder… Two weeks, gone in a flash.
"Lord Shesi, Iruma, please be careful on your way."
Opera said, looking at the three demons there.
"Goodbye, Opera!" Shesi, unusually, turned his head to respond.
When the dimensional gate consumed the invitations of Shesi and the others,
"Identity confirmed, welcome!"
The three passed through the portal and arrived in front of a huge palace.
"The Lost Hall, do you know where this is?" Andro M. Jazz sneered, then said.
Shesi heard this, "The Demon King's territory?"
"You actually know?"
"Just a guess."
"Suddenly…" Iruma was about to exclaim about the place when he felt someone bump into him.
"I'm sorr—" Before Iruma could finish his familiar apology, the "demon" immediately bowed in apology, then walked away.
"Such… such a swift bow!" Iruma exclaimed.
"Pfft, Iruma, my little cutie, you're so adorable. That's an automaton."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the three. They turned around and saw Azu and Azu's mother, Amy, walking over in knight attire.
"Azu!" Iruma recognized Azu at a glance and ran over to say.
"Iruma!" Azu was also very excited.
Shesi walked over and looked at Azu.
"I didn't expect Azu to come as well. You must have suffered a lot, right?" Shesi sighed.
Azu recalled that although he had been proficient in etiquette since childhood, his mother had indeed made him wear many strange clothes under the guise of "attire" these past few days.
"By the way, you two should go find your 'ladies'!" Andro M. Jazz reminded.
Shesi looked around at this moment and immediately spotted a tall "rabbit."
Shesi walked over and gently patted the "rabbit's" shoulder.
The rabbit turned its head and saw Shesi.
"Shesi!"
Shesi extended his arm for Ameri to take. Ameri first coughed, then looked around, and then noticed the others over there, all looking at them with mischievous smiles.
"Oh~"
Ameri hesitated a bit more until Shesi placed his hand on Ameri's hand, then on his arm, and then naturally walked in.
Amy saw this.
"Oh, to be young is wonderful. Back in the day, your father was so timid, and it was all thanks to me…" Before Amy could finish, her son covered her mouth and led her away.
"Mother, let's go this way!"
Only Iruma and Andro M. Jazz remained.
"Let's go, Iruma. Your lady should be inside, after all, they are the protagonists," Andro M. Jazz said, then walked forward. Iruma immediately followed upon hearing this.
"Now you've been seen, you know," Shesi teased.
Ameri heard this and pinched Shesi's waist.
"Hiss… Ouch, ouch, ouch," Shesi immediately begged for mercy.
As soon as Shesi and Ameri entered, they were awestruck by the interior decor.
Shesi was fine; he had cultivated a poker face and could maintain it when necessary. Ameri, on the other hand, was more like a young girl, looking around everywhere.
Suddenly, a figure walked over.
"Long time no see, Shesi-kun," a demon came over to strike up a conversation.
"Long time no see, Bachiko," Shesi recognized this person at a glance as Ansilia Galo, the grandson of Ansilia of the Northern Fortress. Because he was the eighth grandson, Shesi affectionately called him Bachiko. As for why they knew each other… because this demon was also taking sides… and the team he chose was naturally the 'Sullivan' team. Because Ansilia was once a capable subordinate of Delkira, it was natural for his grandson to side with the familiar Sullivan team.
Speaking of Ansilia's eight grandsons… five died in battle, and one was severely injured and unable to stand again… It could be said… no, it should be a family of loyalty and iron will.
"Please send my regards to Lord Ansilia."
Bachiko's expression improved upon hearing this.
"Grandpa will be very happy, but is this your girlfriend? She's super pretty!"
Bachiko's words made Ameri's face flush, not because of the compliment, but because of the preceding phrase, "Shesi's girlfriend."
"Hmm, where's your sister-in-law?"
Bachiko's expression worsened upon hearing this.
"A few days ago, those beasts ambushed the watchtower. Xiao Si was injured then and is now bedridden…" Galo said, looking angry.
Hearing this, Shesi pulled out a pill.
"This pill can cure Xiao Si. One is enough. It can cure most ailments, at least."
"Really?" Galo looked at Shesi with a mix of belief and doubt.
"Believe it or not."
"I believe it! But what do you want?"
"What kind of person do you take me for?" Shesi patted Bachiko's shoulder and laughed.
"Who doesn't know the name of the Trader?" Bachiko's mouth twitched. You don't even look at how far your name has spread! Even the Northern Fortress knows! My grandpa! Lord Delkira's capable subordinate, he told us to try to befriend you and not make an enemy of you!
"By the way, let me introduce you, Ameri, this is Galo, Lord Ansilia's eighth grandson. You've seen that he owes me a favor now, and you can use it too when the time comes."
Shesi said to Ameri.
Ameri smiled at the two.
Then she sighed, as if she really couldn't catch up… No, Ameri, you can do it!
Ameri actively extended her hand towards Galo.
"Hello, my name is Asmodeus Anri, and my father is Asmodeus Anri."
"Hello, uh… let's skip the handshake. If I shook your hand, someone might hold a grudge against me. My name is Galo, and my father is the vice commander of the Northern Fortress."
Shesi began to survey the surroundings. Although he still couldn't recognize most of the demons, some could be identified by their figures. Suddenly, Shesi saw his younger brother being lectured by Bachiko.
"You idiot apprentice! Look at the atmosphere, sis! Why are you waving! It's so embarrassing! And why does it feel so noisy when you haven't even said a word? Can you please put away those sparkly eyes of yours?"
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
"Phew, honestly… But it's good that the 'idiot apprentice' is here, sitting there practically sprouting roots. But wait a bit. Before everyone arrives, I can't just wander around."
"Wander around? Not everyone is here yet?" Iruma looked over and saw the hat-wearing candidate for the 13 Crowns looking at him. When he saw Iruma looking back, he even smiled.
