Frieren gets flustered when she lies.
However, not this time.
Even with the solemn guards and the imposing, tall guard captain standing in front of Frieren.
"Is there something wrong?"
Frieren asked indifferently.
After all, as far as she knew, she hadn't done anything illegal recently.
"I am extremely sorry!"
Seeing Frieren speak and confirming that she was the legendary Great Mage, the guard captain knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"I did not recognize you earlier, I hope you can forgive me!"
"Huh?!"
Frieren's composure vanished, and she nervously took a small step back.
"Don't be like that..."
"I have a bad feeling..."
Frieren's face was stern as she cautiously looked around.
"Step~step——"
Clear footsteps sounded.
A white-haired middle-aged man slowly walked up from behind the guards.
"Mistress Frieren..."
"The guard captain seems to have offended you quite a bit."
"I, as the acting mayor, offer you my apologies."
The man was polite, bowed slightly, and his eyes held respect.
"No, no, no!"
"I don't mind!"
Frieren retreated behind Yulian and Fern.
"After all, that's his duty."
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going!"
Frieren said, about to pull Fern and Yulian away, but found that no matter how hard she pulled, they wouldn't budge.
"Mr. Yulian!"
"Fern!"
Fern and Yulian looked at each other, then simultaneously looked at Frieren, their eyes gleaming.
"Wait, you two!"
Frieren hugged her chest, a sense of unease enveloping her.
"Don't be afraid, Mistress Frieren..."
Fern gently took Frieren's hand.
"Didn't we want to find the mayor?"
"Now the acting mayor is here."
Yulian smiled, his lips curving up.
"Wait! Wait!"
Frieren struggled in resistance, but was still escorted by Fern and Yulian together to the acting mayor's front.
"Mayor, we actually have a request."
Yulian said with a smile.
"Actually, we want to go to the Northern Lands, but the checkpoints are closed. We hope you can give us special permission to pass."
"Are you companions of Mistress Frieren?"
The acting mayor bowed slightly, then began to speak.
"As expected of Mistress Frieren, have you already received the news and are preparing to set off for the Northern Lands again so quickly?"
"There are constant conflicts between the Northern Lands and the remnants of the Devil Monarch Army now, you must be worried about the current situation, right!"
"No, I..."
Not in a hurry.
"Mistress Frieren, I understand without you even saying it."
"Such ambition, Mistress Frieren, you truly live up to the name of a hero!"
"Don't worry about the checkpoint matter, leave it to me."
The acting mayor interrupted Frieren, patting his chest with a look that said, 'I'll handle it, don't worry.'
"But I..."
Frieren opened her mouth, wanting to argue again.
"Then we'll trouble the mayor."
Yulian shook hands cordially with the acting mayor, his eyes full of affirmation and praise.
"Thank you for your affirmation!"
Hearing Yulian call him mayor, the acting mayor, although appearing a bit shy on the surface, was beaming inside.
The clearance procedures could only be completed tomorrow; the acting mayor had to consult the sick mayor.
So, it was equivalent to Yulian and Frieren having half a day of good time left.
"I really didn't expect Mistress Frieren to be so famous."
Watching the large group of guards leave in perfect formation, Fern withdrew her gaze and looked at Frieren beside her with emotion.
Frieren, on the other hand, was full of worry, completely not expecting her good days to end after only one day.
"Frieren's name is very useful, Fern."
Yulian smiled.
"When you need to report your master's name when you go out in the future, just report it."
"Huh? Is there any benefit to that?"
Fern blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Many benefits, many perks."
Yulian curved his lips.
In the past, she and Frieren used her name to show off quite a bit... no, that's not right.
It should be using Frieren's name to help others.
"It's better to report it less, especially in the Central Lands."
Frieren rolled her eyes at Yulian.
The things she did in the past by showing off and deceiving people have caused her reputation to become quite bad now.
This was also the reason why Frieren was a bit scared after discovering the guards were looking for her.
She had done a tiny bit of something with a guilty conscience.
"I always feel like you two have some secrets?"
Fern tilted her head, thinking.
But how could Yulian and Frieren admit it.
"Fern!"
"How could you think of your Mr. Yulian like that!"
Yulian said in disbelief, like a cat whose fur had been ruffled.
"No secrets!"
"I am completely innocent."
Frieren stammered, her guilty look seen through by Fern at a glance.
There really is a secret...
Fern's face twitched, but she didn't press the matter.
Everyone has secrets, and asking further would be impolite.
"However, if I report Mr. Yulian's name, would it be useful?"
Fern blinked her eyes curiously, looking at Yulian.
"What use could my name have?"
"Just an ordinary young boy."
Yulian pouted.
The Demons only know the Demon King killed by Himmel, as for what Yulian is?
He should probably only be considered an equal kind of Demon.
Yulian walked in the human world with his identity as Yulian, teaching knowledge and Magic to the Demon.
"You are truly humble."
Frieren gave Yulian a faint side-eye.
She was certain that Yulian was definitely a Greater Demon, and Great Demons were already prominent existences like nobles within the Demon.
Speaking of reporting Yulian's name being useless?
At most, it would only be in the human world.
Within the Demon, it might still be somewhat useful.
"Fern, if you encounter a Demon you can't defeat, just report Yulian's name."
Frieren thought for a moment and said softly to Fern.
After all, she had even done something as despicable as hiding her magic power, so reporting a Demon's name to save her life was nothing to Frieren.
"Mm-hmm..."
Fern nodded affirmatively.
Yulian watched, dumbfounded.
No, you two would actually do something like that!
This kind of despicable behavior, these master and disciples are truly in the same vein!
"Alright, alright..."
Yulian reluctantly held out his right hand.
"Even if you're going to report my name, don't just foolishly say [Yulian]."
The ring on his right hand shimmered with an enchanting light.
"Show this to the Demon, it should be useful."
"What about me, what about me!"
Frieren looked at Yulian with a face full of anticipation.
Yulian stared at Frieren with wide eyes and fell silent.
No, is Frieren a very shameless person?
Who did she learn to be so shameless from!
Yulian fell into deep self-doubt.
"You are Frieren the Slayer, and you're still thinking of surrendering if you can't win."
Yulian's face was stern, it was hard to tell if he was serious or not.
"As for Frieren, if she can win, she lives; if she can't, she dies."
"The privilege of saving one's life belongs to Fern."
Yulian sighed softly and stroked Fern's head.
"Honestly..."
Frieren lowered her head and smiled helplessly.
"Let's go, let's go, anyway, Mr. Yulian will protect us."
Fern didn't notice the hidden meaning between the two, she just smiled, took their hands, and walked onto the street.
"Where are we going?"
"Since we're already here, let's look around!"
Fern smiled, pressing her lips together.
