(Oh my, I woke up early in the morning to save my manuscript and found that someone had tipped me. Thank you, decadent otaku reader ~)
(P.S. Thank you for your encouragement. I'm not sure how many days I can save.))
Zou Xu was carrying Remilia and Flandore in his arms. Sakuya, who was dressed in gothic maid attire, was slowly walking down the street. This was the capital of the Red Dragon Empire!
Ever since that day, when Sakuya had instantly killed all the invading orcs, Zou Xu had experienced all sorts of strange things for no reason, such as becoming a demon king himself, taking in the king as his guardian knight, and so on.
Wow! It was awesome!
The architectural style of the Red Dragon Kingdom was very similar to the big cities of medieval Europe. There were buildings built with white rocks everywhere, especially the tall buildings that had the flag of the Red Dragon Empire hanging on them.
"Yayaya!" Furan, who was hugging Zou Xu's neck, suddenly tightened her grip on Zou Xu. She pointed at a corner not far away and cried out.
"What's wrong? Fran? Are you hungry?"
Zou Xu looked at Fu Lan strangely. He followed her hand and saw a deep alley.
"Yayaya! Yi ya da!"
Remi seemed to know something and pointed at the alley with her sister.
Zou Xu and Sakuya looked at each other and walked over together.
The alley was between two grocery stores. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly. However, Zou Xu, who was bold and skilled, walked in directly.
The dark alley wasn't dirty, but it was very clean, as if someone had specially cleaned it. Under Fran's instructions, Zou Xu turned left and right and walked deeper into the alley. Zou Xu even forgot the way back.
After walking for a while, a simple house made of wood and stone appeared in front of Zou Xu. However, looking at the house, which was made of stone and wood and had two buildings on both sides as walls, Zou Xu looked at Furan in his arms in confusion.
Fran stopped making noise. Her red eyes were staring at the house with interest.
Looking at Furan, Zou Xu walked up and knocked on the wooden board that should be the door.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
After waiting for a while, there were some subtle sounds coming from the house. Soon, the wooden board slowly opened up, revealing a timid black eye.
"Excuse me... What's the matter?"
"Sorry, my name is Zou Xu. My daughter seemed to have sensed something and brought us here. Please rest assured that we have no ill intentions.”
Zou Xu smiled and lifted Furan in his arms.
After hearing Zou Xu's voice, the pair of eyes observed Zou Xu and the others. When they felt that they were not bad people, they opened the wooden door.
An orc girl with a pair of black cat ears and a slender black tail walked out. She had black eyes and long black hair that reached her waist. Her body that had just begun to show its size was wrapped in tattered and loose clothes. This was actually a cat-eared girl!
Looking at the cat girl in front of him, Zou Xu's little heart was beating wildly, especially when she had long black hair and straight hair!
The cat girl walked out and observed Zou Xu and the others more carefully. When the cat-eared girl realized that Zou Xu had black hair and black eyes, she walked over in surprise. Her tail kept wagging to show that her master was very happy!
"You... You also have black eyes and black hair!”The cat girl circled around Zou Xu, touching him and sniffing him. Zou Xu stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.
"Eh? Is it strange to have black hair and black eyes?" Zou Xu asked curiously. In China, everyone had black hair and black eyes. They were proud of being Chinese.
The cat girl nodded and said timidly,""The elders of my race said that this was an ominous sign. I was abandoned by my parents because of my black hair and eyes, and I ended up wandering here. Fortunately, the residents of the Red Dragon Kingdom only found it strange and didn't reject me.”
Zou Xu looked at Sakuya, who walked over to Zou Xu and began to whisper in his ear.
"Master, many of the orcs on Planet Sara believe that black is an ominous color. These black-haired and black-eyed orcs are very rare among their race, but once they appear, they will be expelled and wander around.”
After listening to Sakuya's explanation, Zou Xu couldn't help but feel sorry for the cat girl in front of him. He handed the two lolis in his arms to Sakuya, walked over to the cat girl, squatted down, and looked at her with his black eyes.
"What's your name?"
The cat girl shook her head." I was ostracized by the tribe when I was born. I was chased out when I had the ability to survive on my own. My parents didn't name me either, but the people nearby called me Kitten.”
As she spoke, the cat girl waved her tail happily and looked satisfied.
Zou Xu's heart ached when he saw that the kitten in front of him was satisfied with a name. He thought of something and said,"Kitten, do you want to follow me?"
"Follow you?" The kitten tilted its head in confusion and looked at Zou Xu in confusion.
"Just follow me and let us become your family.”
"Family?" Kitten asked in a daze. Zou Xu nodded gently.
"But…But…Kittens will bring misfortune!" As if provoked by Zou Xu's words, the cat's eyes turned red, and its two small hands clenched tightly on Lao Jiu's cotton-padded jacket.
Zou Xu shook his head. Now he was even more determined to bring Kitten along.
"No, Kitten, look, I have black hair and black eyes too, but I have never brought misfortune upon myself.”
"Really?" Xiao Mao's eyes were filled with hope as he stared at Zou Xu and asked.
"Of course... Come with us, Kitten." Zou Xu gently patted the kitten's head and stroked its ears.
The cat, who was frightened by Zou Xu's sudden attack, blushed and lowered its head.
"Yay ~ We have a new member in our family, but Kitten's name is too simple, hmm..." From now on, your name is Azurite!"
"Ah... Yes! Lord Zou Xu, little... Ah, no, thank you, Liuli."
Just like that, Zou Xu picked it up while shopping.(Fog), cough cough…Foster (Stare).
“......|”
That was how Zou Xu met Liuli, and there was another adorable cat-eared girl in his little family!
