Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-291

"You! Do you not know who I am!? I am the lord of this town! I make the rules! If I tell you to show me, you will show me!" The lord seemed to have lost his mind.

"Geh…. This man is useless. Steven, smack him for me." I decided that maybe the nice route was not the best route.

"Yes, Boss!" Steven happily walked over to the so called lord, raised his hand, and smacked him, sending the noble flying to the ground. "Boss, shouldn't you become the new city lord? Since they called us demons, let's just act like it."

"Are you saying demons are all uncivilized as this bastard!?" Iena yelled out, causing Steven to flinch and shrink down.

"Miss Iena, that is not what I meant!" I couldn't help but chuckle. Steven was all over the place.

"Iena, what he said was not a bad idea. Earth where I come from foretold stories of demon lords who would take over the lands. His idea actually makes things easier and quicker for us. I wanted to go the nice route and just work up through the ranks, but that could also take a long time. But if we just march from town to town and city to city and take them all over as we make our way to the capital, we should be able to find the entrance to the next floor quickly." I also wonder if this will help the people that are living here if we change the leadership. Well, it really depends on the noble ruling the town at the time.

"Any nobles who act like this one throw them out and dispose of them, then find someone with a head on their shoulder to take their place. Mmm… yes, let's have this guard here take his place." I pointed to the guard, who seemed to have some reason in him.

"Huh? Me?" The guard's eyes went wide.

"Yes, you. Are you up to the job of keeping this town in order?" I asked.

"Huh? Yes!" The guard suddenly saluted me. I nodded and told him to go ahead and deal with the old lord as he saw fit and to clean out the lord's manor as it would now be his new home. The guard dragged the old lord off in a daze. But after he turned the corner, I heard a yell of happiness which caused me to smile.

"Now then!" I said as I turned to the other guards who were standing there in confusion. "Let us search the town. You and you will be our escort. But when talking to the citizens, be nice about it. Just tell them we are searching for a criminal."

"Yes! Please follow us!" The two guards quickly snapped out of their daze and saluted me. They then motioned for me to follow them, so me and the others in my group began searching the town.

The town itself, with how it was set up, reminded me very much of the movies I saw of the middle ages back on Earth. Although I did find it strange that the language this time was the same as in my new home world. I wonder if this is because it was a variation of that world that did not have magic? All I know is it made things much easier since I would not need to translate everything being said. This probably made it easier for my father as well. And since he looked human, he would not be suspected of being a demon. In other words, he got a free ride!

We searched the entire guardhouse from the top floor down to every inch of the dungeon. From there, we went to the next building, which was a pub. It was quite lively until I entered with the guards. The place went dead silent. "We are only here to search the building for a criminal. We are not here to disturb your fun." The guard yelled out. This seemed to soothe the people's worries a little, but they still looked at me with a bit of fear. I was not offended. I mean, it was not like they had seen demi humans before.

But I couldn't just search the walls and things either. I walked over to the counter where an older burly man stood washing his cups. "Master, can I ask you a question?"

The older burly man turned around and looked at me but did not seem to be startled by my appearance. "Little Miss, you need something from this old man?"

"Mm… I was wondering if you saw a man that came here not long ago." I went ahead and began describing my father's features to the older burly man.

"Hmm… Now that you mention it, about two days ago, such a man stopped by here. He was doing what your group is doing as well. However, he was not doing it as openly. He didn't say much. He bought a drink and some food and left." The older burly man replied.

"Okay, thank you. If he stops in again, tell him Faith is looking for him and to head to the capital." I then passed the older burly man a gold coin. "This is for the trouble I am causing."

The old burly man laughed and shook his head. "You must be related to that man because he did the same thing."

I let out a laugh as I stood up. "That I am. He is my father."

The old burly man smiled as he said: "I hope you find him, Little Miss."

"Me too!" With that, I left the pub with everyone in tow. I at least now know that my father had been there. And there is a good chance he was still in this kingdom, especially if he had only been here two days ago.

Once I find him, though, I will give him a big piece of my mind! I mean, he left my mother without telling her he would be diving deep into the dungeon! She is going crazy because of it!
