Chapter 2 The Familiar Little Beauty
Kingdom of Santorea.
Capital, Osos.
The harbor is dotted with thousands of white sailboats, which are shining with white clouds floating above the blue sky. Agile seagulls quickly pass by the blue sea surface, making clear and proud screams.
There were crowds on the dock, and the porters were busy loading and unloading goods like worker ants. The people on the shore were dressed in colorful clothes, and laughter was flowing in the air.
"It's impossible to tell that this country is fighting a civil war!"
Atlas grabbed his head, and the majestic man pressed his head and made a creaking sound on the springboard of the ship.
"If Oshos was in full swing, then there was nothing civil wars. The Kingdom of Santorea would have been over long ago. We'd take a bird vacation! Okay, go quickly!"
In name, they came to investigate the rebel army in the Kingdom of Santorea. According to the intelligence of other CP departments, there were revolutionary troops in the rebel army. For this reason, Spanda barely agreed to the task called investigation, which was actually a vacation. Otherwise, the agents would have a nonsense holiday.
Various colorful ribbons hung above the long red brick street, red, yellow, white, and green, fluttering gently in the wind.
The restaurants and taverns on both sides of the street also hung banners such as "celebrating the victory", "celebrating the victory", etc., but in addition to the tourists' unrestrained laughter, there was a hint of sorrow under the smiles of the owners of the shop and local residents.
Leo looked around and saw a cart under the coconut tree on the street. The uncle in a pink apron was smiling and wrapped in cotton candy. Five or six little kids were guarding the cart. He stared at the growing marshmallows and exchanged the sweat-filled coins for pink marshmallows. He held them in his hand and couldn't bear to eat them.
"Atlas, do you eat marshmallows?"
"No, it's not good for teeth." Atlas refused decisively. He turned to look at the barbecue restaurant on the other side, "Brother, go eat marshmallows by yourself, I'll buy two skewers of squid."
“·······”
Leo stared at Atlas's burly back and miscalculated it. He preferred barbecue than marshmallows, but there were too many people in the barbecue stall around the corner. The young boss was busy taking off, not like the type that was easy to talk to.
"Uncle, give me a marshmallow."
"Okay, a serving of marshmallows, one hundred Baileys."
The uncle threw the coin into the bellyband of the pink apron and began to wrap up the marshmallow with a smile.
"Boss, is this festival on the island today? Why are there lights and decorations everywhere?"
Seeing the marshmallow slowly forming, Leo started chatting with the uncle casually.
"Customer, you're just here today, right?" The boss looked at Leo with a smile. "The King issued an edict five days ago. In order to celebrate the victory of the King's Army, the legislation has determined the seven-day holiday of 'Victory Day'. In short, it is indeed a holiday, although the victory tax is to be paid...
"Is Victory Day? Are the rebels defeated?"
"Well, the rebel army is said to have been defeated by the King's army in the wild, and many people died." The smile on the boss's face faded a little, but when another child came over next to him, he immediately smiled again, "Okay, guest, your strawberry-flavored marshmallow."
"Thank you."
I took the marshmallow and licked it. It was soft, sweet, and melted in the mouth. The sweetness of strawberries was deeply injected into the depths of my soul, unexpectedly... It was not bad!
Eating some desserts occasionally seems to feel happy!
"Wait, do you want to buy some candy for Ai Mo... No, forget it! I will be killed by that uncle." Leo licked the marshmallow and walked towards the barbecue stall on the corner of the street with leisurely steps. Thinking about the uncle's terrifying murderous aura, let's forget it.
Compared with marshmallows that are more popular among children and young women, the barbecue stalls are more popular, and it is almost lunch time. The office workers passing by and tourists who are visiting cannot withstand the stimulation of peppers and spices. They hold a large handful of steaming skewers in their hands, like holding a holy sword pulled out of the stone, full of strange sacred sense.
"Gudong!"
The rich aroma stimulated the nose, and the marshmallows that originally brought happiness were tasteless, especially when Leo saw Atlas holding a shiny sea beast's legs alone, a lot of saliva suddenly secreted from his mouth.
"It looks so good!"
"Or why should we buy two skewers to try? I'll treat you."
"But there are so many people?"
"What's the matter? We were just here to have fun. It wouldn't be a loss to be able to eat delicious food for a while. And..., it's super pleasing to the eye, and I'm happy to wait for an hour."
"What! You boy... hiss! Go together."
With Atlas, a three-meter-high humanoid billboard for promotion, the already popular business suddenly surrounded a group of people.
“Ah~~~!”
Leo looked at the crowds of people inside and outside, licked off the last little marshmallow, and his sense of happiness completely turned into the smoke and dust of history. He didn't like crowded places at all.
"Oh! Brother, you are here, are you going to eat grilled squid? This guy has great skills!"
Atlas saw Leo and showed a bright smile. The bare sea beast leg bones, probably the thickness of an adult male calves, were waving, and the force of his hand was enough to shatter a small building with one blow.
The originally crowded crowd split a passage and looked over in awe. He could be called the eldest brother by such a terrible human-shaped monster. I guess he was a man three or four meters tall... Huh?
Looking at Leo who was only over 1.7 meters tall, a group of people subconsciously ignored the past and continued to search for the "tall and burly big brother".
"······Who are they?"
Leo complained in his heart and walked along the passage to the barbecue stall, "Boss, give me twenty skewers of grilled squid beards, and another big squid."
"Twenty skewers, one squid, two thousand Berry."
The girl's smile was gentle and bright. The purple-red hat was pressed against her short orange hair. She was wearing very fancy and beautiful sunglasses on the hat. The light pink dress highlighted the girl's beautiful figure. She should be raised and raised, and she should be raised. She was already very promising at a young age. The black stockings outlined the slender and beautiful legs, and leather high-heeled boots were worn under her feet.
He is a young and beautiful little beauty!
No wonder what tourists on the road said before was so pleasing to the eye. This is really true!
