THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Circus Attractions

During Zen's departure for a walk in search of interesting items at the auction house, it turns out that something unpleasant happened to Eri.

Currently, Eri is sitting at a table with a lazy look while many men show their ability to attract attention.

Like a talent competition and Eri became a judge or it could also be considered a circus attraction. There are sword fighting, training animals, dancing, singing, poetry to the cross of a fireball.

"Sir what they do." Ask Lify.

"Don't look at them, they're just a bunch of crazies with no shame." Zen replied telling Lify slowly.

"Oh, so it is...." Lify also understood.

Seeing that Zen had returned, Eri immediately left his chair and ran over with a pitiful face like he was being persecuted.

"Why did you leave me alone, you know my mother really wasn't sane." Disappointed.

"Who do you think is insane." Hanna came and was offended.

"Of course mom, how could you possibly want to introduce me to those obscure men." Eri was upset.

"What's wrong, who knows you found a suitable man." Hanna replied laughing to herself, she naturally thought of it like a joke to fill her free time.

Known by everyone, if his mother Eri was the leader of the bandit group Olopus, so the members began to give admiration to Eri. Possibility to be appointed as a prospective daughter-in-law.

And all of those people clearly did not meet the criteria of the ideal man for Eri or Hanna.

"By the way, who's that little boy that's been hiding behind you that's Zen ?." Eri asked looking towards Lify.

"Don't he be your lost son." Just so Hanna answered him.

Complicated smile Zen's face because he didn't want to be joked around...."How can you two think that."

"I just assume, don't worry, in this dark world there are a lot of men who can leave their children." The way Hanna explained was very unpleasant.

"But unfortunately I'm not a resident of the dark world." Zen firmly rejected his opinion.

"Who is this little girl..." Hanna was curious.

There was nothing to hide, Lify was directed by Zen to introduce himself before the two of them.

"I'm Lify, I'm a slave bought by master Zen." That's how a plain little boy explains full of misunderstandings.

In the dark world the slave trade has become a natural thing, because there are many criminals who openly peddle in public.

Eri certainly realized that the little boy was different, he saw his long ears and unkempt body.

"Oh, so this is why you didn't invite me along, looking for something interesting ...?." He saw Zen was upset.

"Do you think I'm deliberately looking for a slave and assume that I like children." So Zen saw from the meaning of Eri's expression.

"Aren't they ?."

"Of course not, I felt sorry when I saw Lify tormented as a slave, so I decided to take care of him and bring him home in the future." Zen tried to explain to them once again.

After Zen told this mother and child all, he took Lify to the room to change clothes.

Zen had never created a 13-year-old kid-sized outfit, so all he had to do was change Eri's clothes.

He is quite reliable in hand skills, whether it's sewing, cooking or making art, so without the need for a long time, one outfit was finished.

"Woooaah." Lify was amazed by the applause.

"Oh yeah, Lify how old you are now." Ask Zen.

Lify started counting with his fingers."19 years."

Zen was surprised... "You're even older than me."

At least in the age of Zen in the world of Dios, because he is only 18 years old now.

But he immediately recalled that the Elf race had a long life and the life cycle was different from humans. Although they were hundreds of years old, they would look like teenagers, even if they had already entered the age of a thousand, it would not change the beauty on the faces of the Elves.

"You waji*ngan, shameless policy, bina*tang." Shouted Eri pushed Zen to a fall.

"What's wrong with you, why are you cursing me so passionately." Zen's confused.

"How can you call yourself a man, while you intend to swallow*be a woman." Eri insisted without giving Zen a chance to defend himself.

Complicated Zen's expression on all those indiscriminate accusations.

"He was a child, it couldn't possibly be considered a crime." Zen Reply.

"I heard that, if she's 19, that means she's a grown woman."

"You know, that elf has a long life, so nineteen years old is still a child."

Without needing to hear any more excuses from Zen, Eri immediately pulled Zen out and let herself take over in the Lify affair .

Zen did not mind that, just when he thought of him as a scoundrel taking advantage of the situation, making him a little annoyed.

Walking out, Hanna and the other members were chatting for a casual conversation about the activities of the bandits Olopus.

"Zen... I want to talk about your departure later." Call Hanna.

"Ah, about that, it seems like it should be delayed first, because I have an appointment with someone tomorrow." Zen said before Hanna spoke.

"Hmmm good, because I want to talk about the same thing, if the teleportation magic circuit will be very busy tomorrow and maybe you don't have a chance to go to the Lomania Union until the day after." Hanna.

"What's the problem ?." Zen curious.

"The ruler of this region will hold a party, so that guests will arrive using teleportation networks." The answer.

Zen felt that there was a strange coincidence here, because it was said by Hanna that the ruler of the region would hold a party and it coincided with the old man asking Zen to help in the food business.

"Oh yeah, what kind of promise do you have Zen ?." It was Hanna's turn to ask.

"On that...."

He took out a piece of paper given by the old man and at once Hanna fell silent like she was in shock.

"How do you know mister Xin Sanziu ?." Hanna asked seriously.

Now Zen understood that the figure of the old man he knew and the ruler of the region, Xin Sanziu, was one person .

"I know Mr. Xin at the auction house." Answer Zen.

"Didn't you make trouble for him ?." Hanna was worried.

"How could I make trouble, you yourself said that I should not harass the lord of the territory, even though I did not know that he was the old man Xin Sanziu." Zen gave an excuse.

"Yes you're right, but I can't believe you got a chance to get to know Mr. Xin Sanziu, whereas as long as I'm in a dark world, only once do I meet him." Hanna's word is complicated.

"Let's see, I don't think it's luck, just casual talk that gets us to know each other."

Now Zen understood why the old man really did not care about the price of every item at the auction, the wealth of a ruler of a dark world region was too extraordinary.

Not long after Hanna and Zen's conversation was over. Eri brought out Lify who had changed clothes.

Lify stood before Zen timidly, as if he was showing himself to receive praise from his master.

"Indeed, I can't argue, the beauty of the Elf race is amazing." Zen smiled to himself.

But after hearing the praise from Zen, Eri's eyes look suspicious.

"What?, I'm just praising him, don't think I'm gonna do anything weird."

"really ?."

"of course. Why do you think of me as a criminal." Dizziness Zen thought of Eri's attitude.

All completely different, the shabby and dirty looking little girl became an amazingly beautiful figure. For now Zen is his master, certainly as the person in charge he wants to take Lify away from this dark world.
