《HERO CHRONICLES:》BK2; Chapter 36: [ A little spar... ]

She's speaking as if she really shared a deep connection to him. If he didn't know that he just met her who was coincidentally identical to Meirin, maybe like the people around him, he might also be fooled.
Faced with her overbearing and intimate manner that was total opposite of her behavior before, Hein could only helplessly shake his head.
Isn't this change in personality a little too magical?
However, Hein didn't scold her or ignore her. He let his body be dragged by Fale. But he needs to admit it, being with this girl is really quite refreshing. It's as if Meirin was really here, dragging him to everywhere she wanted to.
"*cough, *cough..."Looking at them leaving, the shop manager immediately gave them two somewhat awkward dry coughs. He really wanted to make a good impression to this masked noble.
"This demon child, if tamed is One hundred gold coins. It still hasn't tamed yet so if you want, you can take it for ninety gold coins. We lost many men so this has already been a huge loss for me. Please don't try to reduce the price anymore, if you offer less than ninety gold coins, I might rather spend my time slowly taming it."
"Shut up! I won't be tamed! Let me out of here!" The demon girl once again roared loudly.
"Dear, this demon is really savage and scary. If you buy it you might get hurt and killed!" The slave girl; Fale once again spoke while pouting.
Hein and the shop manager didn't notice her change from masked pervert to dear but Ashley and Iona could.
Especially Ashley who was gritting her teeth in anger. She really couldn't believe it, a mere slave girl like her seemed gotten cocky to the point of calling her young master in such an intimate endearment?
This... this is too shameless!
Iona only looked at Fale coldly without saying anything. She just clung to Hein tightly like a spoiled little girl.
Unbeknownst to them, Fale was now sweating bullets.
She was really ashamed and she can even feel the seething anger from the girl in knight armor but she still endured it.
She wanted to take revenge on the shop manager who treated her like slave before by having a huge loss. Aside from that, the second reason is, she want to see how the masked noble react to her.
She wanted to make sure what the masked noble's real attitude was. If, just like what she expected then he will get mad while throwing her or beating her then she will kill herself immediately.

She doesn't want to suffer hell in the hands of some disgusting people.
Might as well jump from the cliff herself before someone throw her.
However, contrary to her expectation, Hein didn't do anything.
This left her in bewilderment. Doesn't he get disgusted by her being too dirty while clinging to him and even acting shamelessly? She realized that she really couldn't understand him at all.
Ignorant by the girl's mental turmoil, Hein just thought that this girl is really taking revenge to the shop manager by using him.
He could only let out a wry smile while acting indifferent, letting Fale do whatever she wanted to and said, "Indeed too high. This king will take it if it is fifty gold coins... how about it."
The shop manager was shocked. His face becoming greener then red, it seems he was having an internal debate.
After a few while, the shop manager let out a dejected sigh and said while looking very disappointed. "S, seventy gold coins. This is the minimum! Take it if you want it!"
"Deal!" Before Hein could response, Fale once again was the one who responded. It seems she knew when to stop.
"Okay, this king will take it." Hein let out a wry smile under his mask while looking at the slave girl beside him who was beaming with smile.
"You think of how you want to take it. After you pay up, I will then give you the keys." The shop manager spoke.
Hein walked towards a table and closed his eyes. He then waved his hand and in an instant, the table was filled with golden coins.
He turned around and faced the shop manager and said, "Here, exactly seventy gold coins."
Seeing the gold coins in the table, the shop manager's expression and manners immediately became much better.
He then ordered the guard beside him to get the gold coins and said, "Honored young master, that demon child is very violent, and you need to be careful."
While speaking, he handed over the key to Hein.
"Give us some time alone ..."
Hein said, indicating the shop manager to leave. Without hesitation, the shop manager then leave, bringing the guard with him.
When the shop manager finally left, Fale who was still clinging to Hein suddenly separated herself and said while snorting, "Don't make any misunderstanding. I just want to get back to that pig; I didn't help you or anything."

Ignoring her, Hein only let out a smile. Seeing that the shop manager was gone, Hein's tone of voice became soft and gentle.
His arrogant and cold tone was as if it was nothing but illusions.
"Wait here for me..." He said towards Ashley and Iona. After entering the iron cage, he then closed the door.
"Ah!"
When he entered the cage, the demon girl roared loudly, throwing herself towards him.
The demon girl's pace was extremely fast and also very exquisite. She then raised her hand that looked like a claw and tried to grab him.
Fale screamed in fear after seeing the savageness of the demon girl, she step back a few steps. Unlike her, Ashley and Iona was calm, as if they were only looking at a cat that was trying to bite a tiger.
Hein looked at the demon girl calmly. He didn't do anything nor used any power. He didn't even use the [ Body
Strengthening ] skill; he just stood there and calmly looking at her.
When the demon girl was now a couple of centimeters away from him, he immediately twisted his body and grabs the demon girl's nape and lifted her high up, making her unable to move even a bit.
This was the grappling skill he saw from some movies and throws her away like a rag doll.
"You are not my opponent ..." Hein said.
"As if! You're lucky that my strength is sealed by these damn chains, if not you would have been burned to death!" The demon girl roared.
"Is that so? Well then, I shall take those restraints." While speaking so, Hein vanished and reappeared beside the girl who was surprised by Hein's skill.
Without hesitation, Hein took out the key and unlocked the iron chains restricting her. With that finished, Hein once again vanished and reappeared two meters away from her and said with an amused tone, "Come"
The demon girl once again charged at him with full force.
'So fast!'
The demon girl's running speed shocked even Hein. Her speed was actually the fastest Hein had ever seen so far.
When the girl instantly arrived in front of her, Hein immediately crouched down and slide his foot, aiming at the demon girl's feet, trying to trip her.
However, like a cat she nimbly did an acrobatic circling movement upward and somersaulted to gain a distance.
Landing gently, she stared at Hein with surprised drawn on her face. She really didn't expect for a human like him to react even with her fast speed and even did a counter.
"Tsk!" Clicking her tongue, the demon girl chanted a spell and in an instant dozens of fire balls appeared above her.
However, before she can attack, Hein had suddenly vanished in her sight. Seeing this absurd scene, the demon girl sweated in fright as she hurriedly looks for her enemy's presence in all directions.
Then, all of a sudden, a clear voice suddenly came from her back, sounding warm and familiar as if they were old close friends, "Little lady, are you looking for me?"
When the girl turned her head, she found the masked man, Hein standing behind her. Before she can react, Hein hit the girl's stomach with his fist.
A dull and painful shriek came out from the demon girl's mouth.
Her senses were swaying and her balance instantly broken.
With this chance, Hein shoved the demon girl's head from her right using his left hand and with his right hand, rotated the demon girl's body downward.
"Gah!"
The demon girl's back heavily slammed to the ground.
Finishing it, Hein applied a joint lock. The demon girl groans in pain as she tried her all to break away Hein's restriction until she knew that she really couldn't move her body.
"Stop there. I don't have any intention of harming you." Hein softly said while pushing all of his body weight against the demons girl's body and both her hands.
"What do you mean you don't have any intention of harming me! Then what are you doing?! Huh? Is this not considered harming?" The demon girl roared.
Hein let out a chuckle and said, "Nah, I know that your body is stronger than a human so pain from this is extremely okay."
"Pain is pain, you idiot! Release me!"
It looked like he could now have the conversation which he knows he couldn't previously, so Hein softly teased her.
"Calm down will you... and here I thought of bringing you to Aster... oh well..."
"Y, you...who do you mean Aster?" When the Demon girl heard the name Aster, her body involuntarily twitched but then disappeared again.
"Who else, of course that demon princess~ Aster Lucifer, demon princess of your clan right?" Hein casually said.
