Chapter 54: Period

On the streets of the royal capital, many people were praising the king's bravery due to the intense battle the previous night. However, Peroroncino could immediately tell that those praising him were all hired for the task.

Peroroncino glanced around at the crowd and sighed, "This country really is rotten. The eyes of the passersby are dull, with no hope for life."

"Let's go to the tailor shop!"

Peroroncino, along with Shalltear and Nana, arrived at the tailor shop. Originally, Peroroncino had planned to let Nana take a break, but Nana insisted on staying with him.

Moreover, it seemed that Nana didn't have anything else to do on her day off.

After Peroroncino arrived at the tailor shop, he noticed signs that the door had been kicked open.

Upon opening the door, there was no one inside. Peroroncino entered the room, where the shop owner was calmly lying on the ground.

There was a large pool of blood around the tailor's body. Although he was already dead, his hand was tightly gripping the fine cloth that Peroroncino had given him.

The tailor's blood had already congealed. Beside him was a young boy, about the same size as Nana. The boy had handprints on his neck. He had been strangled to death.

What had happened was clear at a glance.

Nana had no reaction to this, and neither did Shalltear. Their expressions were extremely cold as they looked at the tailor's corpse, their hearts unmoved.

"I'm getting a little angry."

Peroroncino took out the world-class item <Perfect Resurrection Jade>.

<Resurrection >

A magic circle appeared beneath the tailor's body, and the blood on the ground was absorbed into the magic circle. The tailor and his son's bodies were healing at a visible speed.

"Master, do they deserve to be resurrected?"

"Yes, a skilled tailor is very important. This is the kind of talent that is indispensable."

"Then what's the meaning of resurrecting this human child?"

"This will make the tailor feel grateful toward me. That way, he will serve me better."

"Thank you for the explanation."

"I feel like your attitude toward me has changed!"

"No, it's just that I haven't been with you for the past three days..."

Smack! Peroroncino lightly slapped Shalltear on her backside.

"I'll reward you tonight."

Shalltear's face suddenly turned red after being slapped: "Master, I want it now."

Shalltear looked as though she wanted to devour Peroroncino, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Shalltear immediately pinned Peroroncino to the ground.

"Shalltear, you're acting a bit strange. You're usually so obedient."

"It's all Lord Peroroncino's fault, making me so desperate."

"Chino-niisan, when Sister Yulia left, she told me that Lady Shalltear seems to be on her period recently and has an especially strong craving for... that kind of thing."

"Is there really such a strange kind of period? Wait... no, this seems to be something I set up myself."

At this moment, the resurrected tailor slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this... heaven? It looks quite like my home..."

<Sleep > Peroroncino immediately cast a spell on the tailor and his son, making them fall asleep.

"Wait, Shalltear, stop pulling at my clothes. We'll do this back at Nazarick."

But Shalltear completely ignored Peroroncino's words.

Peroroncino firmly gave Shalltear two hard slaps, but she only laughed more wildly.

At the same time, Shalltear showed faint signs of reverting to her true form.

He could tolerate many things, but being attacked by a lamprey? That was a line Peroroncino could never cross—he might lose all interest in women forever.

Without hesitation, Peroroncino switched back to his main avatar.

Using a skill, he escaped from beneath Shalltear.

"Shalltear, I'll wait for you back in Nazarick. Nana, feel free to wander around on your own. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Peroroncino used an item to teleport back to Nazarick.

Shalltear also frantically rushed into a portal to follow him.

Left alone, Nana didn't know what to do.

She wandered aimlessly through the streets, but soon caught the attention of a few thugs.

A wealthy-looking young girl walking alone on the streets? It was impossible for no one to have ideas about her. The kingdom's law enforcement wasn't that reliable, and there were plenty of desperate people around.

Nana's clothes were made of fine materials—Peroroncino never treated his own people poorly.

As for where the money came from… with strength, who needs to worry about money? Just find a few corrupt nobles with dirty secrets and rob them. Simple as that.

A few thugs followed closely behind Nana. At the same time, Nana noticed their ill intentions.

"Sister Yulia said that when encountering people like this, I should lure them into an alley and kill them," Nana muttered to herself.

She walked alone into a narrow alley.

The men following her saw their opportunity and rushed forward, pulling out a rope to kidnap her. But just as they approached, Nana suddenly vanished before their eyes.

The leader looked around but couldn't find any trace of Nana. When he turned back, he saw that all his companions had been silently killed—without the slightest noise.

"Are you looking for me?"

Nana gazed calmly at the thug.

"Ah! No, I wasn't looking for you! I was just passing by!"

"Then what's the rope in your hand for?"

Nana asked curiously, her demeanor as innocent as any ordinary child.

"This rope... it's... it's... because I've lost all hope in life. I was planning to find a place to hang myself."

"Then go ahead and use it now!"

Nana took out her blood-stained dagger and gave it a flick, sending the blood splattering off the blade and onto the thug's face.

"You don't want to use it? How about I help you?" Nana looked like an innocent child, genuinely offering to assist someone in need.

Before the thug could react, the rope in his hands was snatched away by Nana.

He turned to flee, but before he had run even a meter, he tripped and fell—tripped by the very rope he had been holding.

He couldn't see Nana's movements at all, but his body was soon entangled in the rope. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't free himself.

The next moment, the rope wrapped around his neck.

"No! Stop! I..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was hoisted into the air.

"I... ugh!!... please, no..." He struggled desperately, but there was no way he could break free from the rope.

Without looking back, Nana walked out of the alley.

Returning to the street, she spotted a grilled meat vendor and took out the coin pouch that Peroroncino had given her.

It was filled with gold coins.

"Boss, one serving of grilled meat, please."

"Little girl, do you have money?"

Nana placed one gold coin on the counter. The vendor clearly saw that the pouch in her hand was full of gold coins.

"Little girl, where are your parents? Why are you all alone?"

"Give me a serving of grilled meat!" Nana glared coldly at the vendor.

The vendor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but the temptation of the gold in front of him was enough to make him take the risk.

He stepped out from behind his stall and glanced around.

His gaze returned to Nana. "Can I take a look at your money?"

"Do you want to die?"

Nana stared at him coldly. The vendor swallowed hard, a feeling of unease creeping into his body.

Although he sensed that this little girl was no ordinary child, greed clouded his judgment. He reached out directly to grab the pouch of coins from Nana's hand.

Just as he was about to touch the pouch, Nana grabbed his arm, stopping his hand from moving even an inch further.

Although Nana's hand was tiny and seemed unable to grip the vendor's arm properly, it caused the vendor such pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ah!"

Crack! The sound of bones breaking echoed.

The surrounding onlookers turned their gazes toward the scene, only to see the vendor clutching his arm, wailing in pain.

Meanwhile, one serving of grilled meat was missing from the stall.
