10. Night Coast

In the inn of Seaside City.

After dealing with the Penguin Gang and Gil, from whom Xia Yi extracted important information, she decided to find an inn with Sera to stay in, at least to have a place to settle down.

Xia Yi was alone in the room, while Sera went down to pay.

"Um… Now that there's no one around."

Xia Yi walked to the window and looked around.

In the distance was the sea, calm and peaceful at the moment.

Below was the street of Seaside City, almost empty and very quiet.

"Good." Xia Yi smiled mysteriously.

She closed the window, making it even less likely for anyone to see inside.

In fact, she had been resisting a very subtle urge in her heart for a while, but due to her own dignity, she did not show it directly.

Xia Yi picked up her favorite little dragon pillow and hugged it.

Feeling the familiar scent on it, it was as if she was back in the safe zone, feeling carefree.

"Hehe!"

The little princess hugged the little dragon pillow tightly and jumped onto the spring bed.

Then the silver-haired loli rolled around with the pillow, back and forth, back and forth~

Indeed, it was the right choice for Sera to let her bring the pillow!

It felt like even if the sky fell, she could survive~

At this moment, her spirit was greatly relaxed, and her urge was satisfied, her big tail appeared, swishing back and forth.

Squeak~

The door to the room was suddenly opened.

Xia Yi stopped when she heard the noise, her expression froze.

She turned her head slowly, like a machine, looking back, it was Sera.

The little princess's personal maid was looking at Xia Yi with a different gaze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Ah!!!"

Xia Yi quickly bounced up, distancing herself from her pillow, her ears starting to heat up.

It's over, it's all over!!

My image!

The sight of her rolling around on the bed with the pillow had been seen by Sera.

Now she must have misunderstood me.

"Sera, why didn't you knock on the door!!"

Xia Yi shouted with a red face, wanting to crawl under the bed from embarrassment.

"Sorry, Princess, I thought you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you, I didn't expect… It's my fault."

Sera bowed her head in apology.

But she was very satisfied inside.

The maid did it on purpose~

But Xia Yi didn't know.

Her gaze wandered, and she quickly defended herself: "No, it's not what you saw, Sera! I was… I was… What was I doing?"

She was in a hurry.

Xia Yi was really in a hurry.

She didn't know how to get past this.

But Sera said, "Your Highness, you don't have to mind, it's actually very normal."

"Ah?"

"That's what pillows are for, there's nothing wrong with what you did, the mistake was mine, I shouldn't have come in at that time."

"It seems… indeed."

Xia Yi was skeptical, picked up her pillow again, but immediately felt something was wrong.

No!

"I'm an adult, I'm not interested in doing such childish things! I was just testing the quality of this spring bed! Yes! Don't think nonsense, forget it quickly!"

Xia Yi knew the excuse was stupid and prayed that Sera wouldn't continue on this topic.

Otherwise, she would lose face.

But here, Sera did stop and didn't continue the topic.

"Your Highness, the check-in procedure is complete, we can stay here for a long time if needed, but how to act specifically still depends on your arrangement."

Sera entered the room and closed the door.

Wow, my maid is really understanding.

Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly shifted the topic from the pillow, lingering on it for another second would cost her dignity.

"Let's stay in Seaside City for a while, after all, this city is by the sea, maybe we have a chance to face the Black Tide directly," Xia Yi said, "If we can experience the Black Tide firsthand, maybe we can unveil the mystery of this terrible disaster, right?"

"Yes, you make sense. Also, if you want to stay in Seaside City, the Penguin Gang can provide assistance."

"Oh, Gil is so enthusiastic!"

"Not really, but I made him enthusiastic." Sera smiled.

Wow, that smile is a bit scary…

Xia Yi guessed what it meant.

It seems Sera has got these guys under control.

The reason behind it is heartwarming.

"Your Highness, do you need me to prepare dinner for you?"

"Yes, that would be lovely!"

Xia Yi had seen the innkeeper eating lunch earlier and had taken note.

The food didn't seem as appealing as Sera's… culinary skills.

"Alright, then please rest for a while, Princess. I'll tidy up the room and then head to the kitchen. I'll come to call you when dinner is ready."

"Okay."

Xia Yi nodded.

Then, she lay down on the bed, indeed feeling a bit sleepy~

She hugged the pillow and drifted off to sleep.

…

…

In the evening.

After dinner, Xia Yi and Sera left the inn together, heading towards the coast of Seaside City.

Along the way, the locals who saw the two of them all walked around them, as if afraid to get into trouble, completely different from those who actively came to ask for money during the day.

"Huh, what's going on?" Xia Yi was puzzled.

"Miss, it's Gil's doing," Sera explained, "I asked him to greet the locals so they wouldn't trouble our actions. I guess he exaggerated a bit when he told the locals, making them think we are very scary."

"I see."

Xia Yi understood, though it wasn't a big problem.

She and Sera walked from the city to the coast, planning to observe the sea up close at night.

Mainly to try their luck and see if they could discover something tonight!

The sea at night looked bottomless, all dark, dangerous, and gloomy compared to the daytime, even with a hint of terror.

It felt as if something was lurking beneath the night sea.

But this was more likely a psychological effect; after feeling for a long time, there was nothing but the sea breeze and the waves.

Xia Yi and Sera walked along the shore for a long time, still without any findings.

"People in Seaside City say that you shouldn't get close to the sea at night, is that false?" Xia Yi asked.

Sera didn't have any clues either, but just as she was about to discuss with Xia Yi, her expression changed, and she instinctively protected Xia Yi behind her.

A human was approaching them head-on.

"Why are you two here by the sea at night?" Hill watched the two with caution.
