Chapter 343 : The Punished Princess Hero
If possible, Lonis didn't really want to swagger around the streets of Insolania.
Because after the medal ceremony, she had also become a celebrity throughout the kingdom. Every few steps she faced people's envious gazes—it was extremely strange!
But even Lonis hadn't anticipated...
"Wow, you're also a beast-ear girl enthusiast!"
"Eh?"
"Your cosplay looks so good, amazing."
"Ah... ah?"
Looking at this girl in front of her who, like herself, had a fluffy tail, Lonis stood there dumbfounded.
And not just the other person—there were many girls on the street wearing beast ears and fox tails... everyone was walking the streets in high spirits, looking cheerful and very happy.
"Big sister's ears are amazing, these must be the premium version that can actually sense sound, right? I've looked in many stores but couldn't buy them."
The girl talking to Lonis also had a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head, and her tail was curiously raised and bent into a question mark, looking extremely cute.
"I, this is..."
"This is the premium version that grows on the body. Look, if you pinch it, there's even a tactile response!"
Compared to the blushing Lonis, Elucia directly reached out and pinched the little fox's big tail.
"Woo!"
"Wow, really? Then big sister must come join our Princess Hero Support Association!"
"Pri-Princess Hero Support Association?"
"Mm, I'm the Branch President! I'm responsible for support activities in this street district. Since big sister is also wearing fox ears, you must be a loyal fan of the Princess Hero, right?"
"Ah...?"
"Come with us!"
......
......
Since there was nothing to do today anyway, Lonis and Elucia followed the cat-eared girl to their association.
But the moment they walked into the hall, the scene before them left Lonis stunned.
Because there was a statue of an incredibly beautiful girl.
Not white, but a life-sized statue made of resin... flawless figure, silver hair—it was the Princess Hero who had previously received commendation.
However, unlike Lonis, this statue was very heroic, with a hint of martial spirit in its features. Although it looked like a girl, it was the type that appealed to both men and women, making even girls admire it.
Therefore, upon first seeing the statue, Lonis almost fell in love with it.
......
"How is it? Pretty amazing, right? Our support group spent a long time to complete this!"
"Woo..."
......
Looking at the statue, Lonis understood why even though she hadn't deliberately disguised herself, she hadn't been recognized by others.
Because her current self really appeared too soft and adorable!
She didn't match the hero's temperament at all, so even with the same hair color, she was like a completely different person.
And Elucia, looking at the statue, was even "pretending to be impressed" saying: "Wahh, so this is the legendary Princess Hero, Lonis? Truly seeing is better than hearing—so heroic!"
"Woo..."
"Of course it's the Princess Hero! Big sister, did you just recently come to the royal capital Insolania?"
"Mm, yes, I haven't heard much about the Princess Hero. Could you introduce her to me~~~"
"Of course! Please follow me."
......
......
After saying this, the cat-eared girl led Lonis into the support group's archive room.
Here, displayed in great variety, were many materials about Lonis's achievements, and the most eye-catching was the part where she impersonated Princess Sethilu to maintain national order.
"For peace talks, and to prevent enemy deception, Hero Lonis disguised herself as Princess Sethilu and went alone to the White Forest for negotiations..."
"Eh?"
"And although the Princess Hero went with courage and sincerity, the cunning Vampire Queen still ambushed 500 axe-wielding soldiers in the forest! With her command, axes immediately flew chaotically through the forest, shooting toward our hero!"
"? (Lonis confused)"
"But these couldn't stop our Princess Lonis at all. She knew that dragging this out would be very disadvantageous to her side's battle situation... so she directly captured the leader first, used her agility to dodge those flying axes, and directly captured the Vampire Queen, determining the victory!"
When saying this, the cat-eared girl's heart was boiling with passion, almost jumping up.
But in Lonis's heart... she felt so ashamed listening to this.
Because except for the correct outcome, the content was completely false! Her past self not only hadn't defeated those terrifying enemies, but had been treated as a little pet by Lonis and was led out of a box.
Fortunately, the accompanying Sword and Shield Guards had all kept their mouths shut, otherwise her image as a masochistic weakling would have been infamous forever.
......
"Oh? That Hero Lonis sounds amazing. Where is she now? Could we meet her~"
Because it seemed very interesting, Elucia was pretending not to understand anything again.
But even this scheming girl hadn't anticipated that the cat-eared girl would answer like this:
"Eh, you're asking where the Princess Hero went? Well, this is actually a very important secret, so don't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Secret?"
"Mm, actually..."
The cat-eared girl suddenly seemed secretive, and only after seeing no one around did she quietly say: "Actually, Hero Lonis and Princess Sethilu went on their honeymoon."
"Hah?"
"Don't be so loud!! This is a secret only known to core members of our support group. If it gets out, it will create unfavorable rumors about the Princess and Hero."
"......"
"The Hero has always had an indescribable relationship with the Princess. I heard they had feelings for each other before, but because there was always a third party interfering, they couldn't confess to each other."
"Oh, so they went on their honeymoon. I understand~"
Elucia suddenly smiled.
And seeing Elucia's smile, Lonis felt a chill down her back.
She wanted to kneel down and hug her wife's waist, but just the next second...
......
"Eh, why do I hear a buzzing sound? Is there a bee... that broke into the support group?"
"Woo?!"
Lonis's face flushed red as she clenched her dress with her fists, not daring to speak. Because the moment she opened her mouth, she would inevitably make some strange sounds.
And Lonis's current blushing expression naturally didn't escape the cat-eared girl's attention. She twitched her ears and asked curiously: "This newcomer... what's wrong with you?"
"Well, senior, don't worry about her! She's a loyal fan of Princess Lonis, so hearing that her idol has someone she likes made her a bit flustered."
"Oh... oh oh! So that's it! My mistake, I almost thought everyone was a Sethilu-Lonis CP supporter~~"
"Woo..."
"Then let's continue visiting the remaining achievements. Next is the royal capital battle..."
......
......
There were many more images afterward, and the cat-eared girl was very enthusiastic.
And our poor "Princess Hero" could only endure the torment of the little device while going to "appreciate" her own "heroic" deeds~
