The Villainess and Modern Weapons
Chapter 17 The streets with Felix & Gloxinia

"Hmphs. I should have been great." Reply Felix while lifting his chin.

'Ck, it looks like over time Felix's nose will fly.'

...----------------...

Author POV.

"So, that's your strength huh." Said Sherlin while nodding her head.

"Yup, of course, is strong!!!." Reply Felix quickly.

"Alright, I already know your fighting type...So, felix let's have fun!!!." Sherlin said enthusiastically.

"Ber... having fun?." Felix was confused.

"Yes. Had fun. Wasn't it before we left, I talked for a walk. I haven't gone quietly like this in a long time. Last time I went out with Grandpa to the secretum market, now I want to go with you Felix." Sherlin smiled.

"Hey? It's night, you know? your bedtime has passed boy.If you are sleepy, I will not be responsible to carry you." Reply Felix flat.

"Huh? hassles carrying me?. Take it easy, Felix. I'll guarantee you won't get sleepy."

'Of course I won't be sleepy at all. In my old world I used to not sleep at night. So this is easy.' Inner Sherlin snorted.

"All right." Answer Felix.

"Ahh yes. Felix can you change your appearance to human? to be more comfortable." Sherlin.

"Yes.I can." Felix.

Sringggs.

Felix turned into a handsome man with silvery white hair and blue eyes.

"Felix...you...it's beautiful!!!!!." Shouted Sherlin hysterically.

"Hohoho of course." Felix raised his chin.

'Mwehehe, I didn't think Felix was handsome. Hihi is good for eye wash.' Inner Sherlin chuckled.

"Errr, hehe on second thought. I haven't called Gloxinia in a long time, how about we take Felix? The more crowded the more exciting." Sherlin said.

"As much as you are a boy."

"Yup, then I'll call her."

After that Sherlin closed her eyes and called out to Gloxinia inwardly.

'Gloxinia'

Srriiinngg.

A light appeared in front of Sherlin and in the light Gloxinia was.

Wushhh.

"Sherlin?. What's up?." Ask Gloxinia with a smile.

"Eum.hehe I want to take you for a walk in Gloxinia. I haven't called you in a long time." Sherlin was ashamed.

"Ahh, it's okay, I get it." Gloxinia with a soft look.

"So, how? you want to come?." Ask Sherlin .

"Yes I want to come."

"Then Gloxinia...Can you turn into a human?." Ask Sherlin.

"House. Of course Sherlin." Gloxinia.

Brush.

Gloxinia turned into a cute little girl.

"Fear so!?!?. Gloxinia!!! you are so sweet!!." Sherlin said loudly with a sweet smile.

Blush.

"Hehe, really? thank you, miss." Gloxinia blushed in embarrassment.

"Huh? Missy? Gloxinia what do you mean?."

"Sherlin, I want to be your lady. I want to be very close to you. All this time only Felix was close to you. I'm so envious, so I want to be a lady-in-waiting to be close to you at all times!!!." Gloxinia is serious.

Seen in Gloxinia's eyes was a flash of burning spirit.

Sherlin who heard Gloxinia's words looked very confused.

"Eum...Gloxinia, I already have a servant. You don't have to be my maid." Sherlin said awkwardly.

Sherlin strongly objected to Gloxinia's offer to be her maid. She felt burdened imagining a fairy queen being a lady-in-waiting who was by her side at all times.

"Sherlin..I beg~ a-I just want to be close to you~ a-doesn't I? even if I became your partner's fairy, not every time I was by your side, I was so lonely. And if I were to deliberately show that I am the queen of fairies in general it would definitely be troublesome. So, Sherlin please~ . I'll disguise myself like this to be your lady-in-waiting. Yeah yeah?." Said Gloxinia with a clear look.

'Ughh, his gaze made me very burdened. I wanted to reject her but seeing her who was so earnest impressed me. ' Inner Sherlin.

"Hufffttt."

Sherlin agrees to Gloxinia's request to be her maid. She let out a long sigh and did not know what would happen in the future when Gloxinia officially became Sherlin's lady-in-waiting.

"So, how do I explain to my father and mother when I raise you to be my lady-in-waiting?." Ask Sherlin.

"That's easy, I'll be a broke noble lady who will be sold and you Sherlin will be my savior. Then, I'll go to you and beg you to make me a servant or a lady-in-waiting." Gloxinia.

"Yes.the reason is pretty good. But, I'm here to go secretly. So, it's impossible to take you to the residence to be a lady-in-waiting now."

"Ahh I've thought about it. I will go to your residence tomorrow morning, and will ask the butler of Duke Edinburgh to inform you of my arrival and ask you to meet me and raise me to be a lady-in-waiting. Then I'll explain everything to your father and mother. You just have to look and wait for Sherlin, my sweet lady...." Gloxinia at length.

"Ooh. Alright." Sherlin replied while nodding her head.

"Ck."

'Sucks.' Felix's mind is upset.

Felix clucked, because he was ignored by Sherlin earlier since calling Gloxinia.

Sherlin looked towards Felix and smiled forcefully.

'Ahh so focused on Gloxinia I ignored Felix. For sure now that he was angry, it was better to leave immediately than later would be even more troublesome.'

"Eum, fine already determined!!! Gloxinia is coming!! So, let's go." Sherlin was enthusiastic.

"Yes come!!!!." Gloxinia is no less enthusiastic.

"Hm."

Felix just cleared his throat and nodded his head.

Sherlin holds one of Gloxinia and Felix's hands. And Sherlin also activated her teleportation magic.

Kingggg.

Wushhh.

In an instant the three of them left the Silence forest.

Pattcs.

"Wow...Where is this???." Ask Gloxinia.

"Hehe, I did it." Sherlin Cengengesan.

Gloxinia only smiled faintly in response to Sherlin's amusing response.

"It's a market?." Felix was confused.

"This is a market. Precisely the largest illegal market on the continent, the Secretum market. Where all valuable and rare items are sold randomly without any rules. Broadly speaking, this market can be said to be very FREE. It doesn't matter what your status is, you'll be treated the same as everyone else. It is also in this place that there is equality in any case. And the purpose of my dressing you in robes is because of hiding our identity. If you don't use something to cover your identity, something will be troublesome." Sherlin said at length.

"Ahh...I don't really know about the human world..." Gloxinia.

"Hmm, I also just found out there is a market like this in the Fritina empire. This market did not exist yet. By the way, the rancid boy I didn't think you were smart enough." Felix said as he looked around.

"Yes that's it.haha I'm really smart Felix. You're the only one who doesn't know it, where have you been? heh it turns out I just found out how smart I am." Said Sherlin while raising her chin high.

'Hehe actually, I know all this because grandfather taught me.' Inner Sherlin chuckled.

"......"

Felix just stood still and stared flat at Sherlin and then sauntered away towards the crowd of markets.

"Hey!!! Felix wait a minute!!!." Shouted Sherlin while pulling Gloxinia's right hand.

A few moments later~

After running around to catch up to Felix, Sherlin and Gloxinia were finally able to catch up.

"Hosh hosh hosh. Felix..you!!! How dare you leave me!!!." Sherlin was upset.

"Huh." Felix snorted and turned his face to the side.

'Eee?????.'

Gloxinia was confused, she did not know what to do because the relationship between Felix and her nona was absurd.

"Hee~ look at Gloxinia, Felix!! I just realized, because this market is more beautiful than during the day. Lots of lanterns and colorful lights here." Sherlin was amazed.

"Wow...."

"Woahhhh..."

"It's pretty....."

"Heumm, you're right. It's so pretty."

In the middle of this secretum market there is a round field accompanied by a small lake. Usually every midnight the visitors and traders fly a colorful lantern and various forms as a symbol of hope to make this market even better. Also the merchants deliberately decorate their shops with various lights and other decorations to make the atmosphere more festive.

"Whoa!!! Lookie!! Felix, Gloxinia let's go get some lanterns!!!." Sherlin said enthusiastically.

"None/child." Felix and Gloxinia answered at the same time.

The three of them approached a shop and bought one of its lanterns.

"Woahhh the lanterns are so beautiful. I want to buy it!! But I didn't bring any money. How'this?."

"Eum, Felix do you have any money?." Sherlin's whisper was right in Felix's ear.

"Huh? No, I didn't bring any money." Reply Felix slowly.

"Huh, Felix's bottom suck." Sherlin was upset.

"Ck. Aren't you the bad one? Go for a walk secretly and don't bring a penny. The man who did it was stupid." Felix was upset.

"Huh, if it can't help don't provoke." Sherlin answered flatly.

"Hmm, Gloxinia. Do you have any money?." Asked Sherlin while grinning.

"I don't have any. But, I brought one of my stones here. I brought it because it's pretty." Answer Gloxinia.

"Ahh, I see..do I see your stone?."

"Yes." Yeah."

Gloxinia hands Sherlin a diamond.

"Th-this!!! Gloxinia you said it's a rock!?." Sherlin doesn't believe me.

"Yes.in the kingdom of the Elves it is a stone. In my kingdom there are so many such stones even scattered in the streets." Take Gloxinia lightly.

"God...."

"Umm then can I ask for your stone Gloxinia? I'll exchange this stone for money." Ask Sherlin.

"Yes of course." Gloxinia replied with a smile.

"alright. Thank you Gloxinia."

A few moments later~

Taps.

"Mwehehehe, I got a lot of money." Sherlin said with a smile.

"How's miss?." Ask Gloxinia.

"I have a lot of money!!! Look!!." Sherlin answered while showing a bag containing gold coins.

"Wow!!! So much!!!. Miss is great!!!."

"Hehe~ Gloxinia is actually a stone you had earlier in the human world called a diamond. And here's a very high-value diamond." Sherlin.

"Ahh it is so..."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Well, let's buy the lanterns!!!."

"Yes, come on!!!."

"Felix, go!!!."

"Hmm."

The three of them bought a lantern and flew it into the sky together.

'Ahhh I'm so happy...' Inner Sherlin was carefree.

'It's great to be with Miss and Felix.' Inner Gloxinia happy.

'Lumayan....' Inner Felix.

...----------------...

"Hhh hurhhh."

A smooth snore sounded from Sherlin who was leaning on Felix's shoulder.

After touring and having fun with Felix and Gloxinia, they rest in long chairs under a tree where Sherlin and her grandfather first rested in this secretum market. Then Sherlin was exhausted and leaned on Felix's shoulder and he fell asleep.

'Ck, he said he wouldn't be sleepy!? especially sleeping!? Then what is this?!?! she sleeps like @$#& (rough language, don't copy 🗿).' Felix's mind is upset.

'Woahhh miss looks very cute if you are asleep.' Inner Gloxinia was enchanted.
