Firut came back soon after that, and what he brought back was naturally good news, but Firut's face was full of confusion.

"I can't believe that Master Rom agreed so readily."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Whenever I said I wanted to become an adventurer, Grandpa Rom would scold me and say that dying in the slums was better than dying in the wild. At least he could collect my body."

"Well, that's true."

Although Fang Zheng had no idea who the "Uncle Rom" that Firut was referring to was, he presumably was the person who raised her.

"But this time, when I mentioned something about the King's Chosen Dragon Priestess, Master Rom agreed very readily, and even asked you to take good care of me..."

Firut had a look of disbelief on her face. She knew how much Master Rom had taken care of her in the past. To be honest, Firut herself knew that Master Rom was right. Although the slums were not a good place, it was quite good compared to those adventurers living in the wild.

However, this time, as soon as she said that she wanted to become an adventurer in order to avoid the King's Selection, the old man agreed with unprecedented readiness.

"What about you? Are you ready?"

"Hmm...ah, that's about right..."

Although she felt reluctant, Firut still nodded.

"I'm ready!"

After making sure that Firut was ready, Fang Zheng summoned Vimana and brought Firut back to the castle. Like everyone else, Firut was extremely surprised at Vimana who could fly in the sky at will and the magnificent five-star castle. After that, Fang Zheng introduced Firut to the other girls, and the girls also welcomed Firut, especially the priestesses - if a scout thief really joined, then it would naturally be very good news for them.

"call……"

After having a hearty meal in the cafeteria, Firut came to the recreation room and sat on the sofa. She looked at the night view outside the window while feeling the soft and comfortable touch beneath her body.

"It's just like a dream..."

Felt muttered to herself as she looked outside. Just yesterday, she was still in a simple and shabby little house in the slums, but in just one day, she came to a place that was even more luxurious than a palace.

But the people here are really strange.

At first, Firut thought that all the people living here were nobles, but she found that the people living here were all kinds of people. There were priests, magicians, adventurers, and elves, but no nobles. Everyone talked and chatted casually, without the feeling of being superior like the nobles. And Firut also saw a group of children running and jumping in the courtyard - I heard that they were adopted orphans...

This is also an orphanage!

But the reason why I am far away from home now is all because of this broken stone!

Taking the badge out of his pocket, Felt stared at it indignantly. To be honest, Felt really wanted to throw this broken thing away, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to. If he threw it away, it would be troublesome when Reinhard asked about it. He could just return it to him next time and say that he was not interested in the King's Selection.

"Is this the badge?"

At this moment, a voice sounded beside Firut's ear. Firut looked up and saw the priestess sitting beside him, looking curiously at the badge in Firut's hand.

"Yeah, it's this damn thing that's keeping me from going home now."

Having said that, Felt snorted in annoyance.

“But it looks beautiful.”

"It is very beautiful indeed..."

Just as the priestess said, the badge in Firut's hand was now emitting a golden glow, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object.

"I thought this thing must be valuable, so I wanted to return it to the owner as soon as possible. If I had known this would happen, I might as well sell it myself!"

At this point, Firut was furious. If she had been a thief before, she would have put it away and sold it without saying anything. But now that Firut was a tour guide, she would not do such a thing again, so she wanted to return the badge immediately.

At that time, Firut was secretly proud of himself, thinking that he could do good things now.

The result... If I had known this would happen, I would have sold it!

"What? What are you talking about?"

"This is the badge. It looks really beautiful."

At this moment, the other girls in the entertainment room also came over. They had all heard Fang Zheng talk about Firut's experience, so they were not surprised.

At this moment, Huihui, who was staring at the badge, suddenly had an idea.

"By the way, didn't Mr. Fang Zheng say that this badge would glow in the hands of the witch chosen by the dragon? Then let's all give it a try. Maybe one of us will be chosen!"

"Eh? Really?"

"That's right, you guys come and try it too!"

Hearing this, Firut suddenly perked up and jumped up.

"Reinhard said that there are five dragon priestesses mentioned on the prophecy board. Now there are only four including me. There is still one that has not been found. Maybe one of you is the last dragon priestess?"

"So, I might become king?"

“It sounds like it’s quite interesting.”

"Come on, come on, let's play. Captain, you go first..."

As she spoke, Firut handed the badge to the priestess, who seemed a little flustered when faced with the badge Firut handed over.

"Team, captain?"

"That's right, you are the captain of our adventure team, right? So shouldn't I call you captain? Or should I call you boss?"

At this moment, Firut has also made up his mind that if there is a last dragon priestess among these people, then he just needs to support her. In this way, he will not need to be king, and that knight will not bother him anymore. How great!

“This, this…”

"Come on, pick it up and treat it as a game."

At this moment, the other girls around also encouraged her, and the priestess hesitated for a moment, then whispered "Excuse me", and then reached out her hand to pick up the badge, but at this moment...

"Wait a moment!"

"Wow."

"What are you doing?"

Everyone was startled when they saw Mai Lu suddenly screaming.

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, it just occurred to me..."

Mai Lu coughed, gave a slightly awkward smile, and then spoke.

"Since this is a game, why don't we add an interesting condition?"

"condition?"

"That's right. It says that if this badge glows, you have a chance to become king. So before you pick up the badge, why don't you each say what you would do if you were king, just like introducing your policy agenda? How about that? Interesting, isn't it?"

"Although I don't know what the Wet Shock Spirit is, it sounds quite interesting."

Hearing this, the girls nodded in agreement, and Milu immediately picked up a banana from the fruit basket next to her and handed it to Firut.

"What? I just ate and now I can't eat anything."

“Oh, this is just an act. Ahem, then… Miss Felt, if you become the king, what would you like to do?”

"Um……"

In response to Mailu's question, Firut thought for a while, then she seemed to have thought of something, smiled slightly, and revealed her pointed little fangs.

"I hate those nobles, I hate those knights, and I hate that country even more. So, if I become king, I will make them all go away! I will destroy everything! How about it? Pretty good, right!"

“Wow… Felt, you’re so brave…”

"Is this also possible? Can I become a candidate for the king like this?"

Faced with Firut's bold declaration, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Well, thank you Ms. Felt for your speech. Let's applaud!"

After hearing what Mai Lu said, the girls came to their senses and clapped their hands. Then Mai Lu turned the banana to the priestess.

"Then it's your turn."

"Eh? Me? Me? I've never thought about becoming a king, but if I were a king, I would pray for everyone's peace and a good harvest... Oh, yes, if I were a king, I could send an army to destroy the goblins!"

As she spoke, the priestess took the badge from Felt’s hand – it did not glow.

"Unfortunately, it looks like you weren't chosen."

At some point, the host, Mailu, complained and passed the banana to Aisi, who was standing next to the priestess.

"Well, next is Miss Ais... Wait! This is not for you to eat!"

After finally saving the banana that was almost bitten off by Aisi, Mailu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Miss Aisi, what would you do if you were king?"

“As for me…”

Looking at Ai Si who was thinking, the girls all opened their eyes wide. Ai Si was the more taciturn person among them and rarely spoke on weekdays. Therefore, as this was a rare opportunity, they also wanted to hear what Ai Si would say.

"I want to hold... a tournament."

However, what the girls heard from Ais was an answer that shocked them.

"Martial Arts Competition..."

"……General Assembly?"

"ah!"

Hearing this, the priestess clapped her hands.

"That's the story that the Knight once told me, right?"

"That's right."

Ais nodded.

"Although there is no Huashan here, I can find a higher mountain and hold the world's number one martial arts competition, let all the strong people participate, and then select the strongest one from them. In this way, I can also compete with the strong people from all over the world."

"That sounds like something Ais would say..."

Hearing Ais's answer, the girls nodded one after another, and then they saw Ais pick up the badge - it didn't glow.

“Then next, Megumin!”

"Huhuhuhu...it's finally my turn."

Hearing this, Huihui stood up proudly, stretched out her hand and covered half of her face.

"In fact, I knew this day would come."

"Why?"

“All of this is the guidance of fate, a fate that cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try. This country, this throne, everything, is connected to the blood flowing in my body. I believe that in the name of Megumin, the Great Magician of the Crimson Demon Clan, I will be able to…”

"Ah, that's enough. Please explain quickly."

Knowing that if Huihui started to act like a chuunibana there would be no end to it, Miru quickly interrupted Huihui's chuunibana speech.

"Ugh...if I ever become king, then I'm going to declare a festival!"

"festival?"

"That's right, the day of Explosion Magic!"

At this point, Huihui raised her hands excitedly.

"On this day, explosion magic will be cast everywhere across the country! Everyone must learn explosion magic! I will also put explosion magic on the national flag, and then..."

"Well……"

Seeing Huihui chattering excitedly, the girls couldn't help but tremble.

After all, she would really do that!

"Then let me see what fate will choose!"

As she spoke, Huihui reached out and grabbed the badge!

No glow.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
