Alien Bar: Found a Wizard Girl, Gale Sword - Chapter 16:"Humanoid?"
Prince Lieyang walked into Leon’s room, immediately taking off his armor and revealing a well-built and muscular body, with distinct lines between his chest and abdomen, and still some red scales.
Leon quickly closed the door and took a loose sportswear from the wardrobe for him.
After putting it on, Prince Lieyang looked at himself in the mirror on the wardrobe, saying, “I indeed look charming no matter what I wear. Even as a human, I’m still so handsome.”
Leon couldn’t be bothered to comment on his bald head. He retrieved a roll of mat from under the bed, laid it beside the bed, and placed a spare blanket on top.
“You’ll sleep here tonight.”
Prince Lieyang frowned and looked at the single bed in the room.
“Don’t think about it, that’s my bed.”
Leon didn’t want an unfamiliar lizard man sleeping in his bed.
Surprisingly, Prince Lieyang didn’t object. He sighed and sat down on the mat on the floor. Leon was somewhat surprised by this; he thought he would have to put in more effort to protect his bed.
Prince Lieyang sighed, “I can sense that the power within me is constantly dissipating. I’m afraid that by tomorrow morning, I’ll have completely become an ordinary person.”
Leon lay on his own bed, a residual fragrance coming from the blanket.
“Don’t worry. When you return to your own world tomorrow, you’ll be able to change back.”
Prince Lieyang shook his head, “Those guys won’t let me go easily. As long as I appear in Castalonne, they will definitely try to take my life by any means necessary. So, I plan to stay here for a while. When they think I’ve already left Castalonne, I’ll go back.”
“What?” Leon was surprised. “How long do you plan to stay here?”
“At least half a month for now. I’m quite interested in your world. Since the gods here have given me a human body, I’ll take this opportunity to experience the life of humans in this parallel world. Don’t worry, I’ll repay you afterward and won’t stay at your place for free.”
Leon remained silent for a while before asking, “Do you know who wants to kill you?”
“Of course, besides my ambitious uncle who covets the throne, I can’t think of anyone else. He must be planning to kill me while I’m traveling abroad so that he can inherit the throne rightfully. Hmph, that damn old man. Once I inherit the throne, I’ll use his bones as decorations.”
Leon sighed inwardly. It turned out to be an internal struggle within the royal family, relatives fighting against each other. Being a prince wasn’t easy.
With these thoughts in mind, he drifted off to sleep.
He slept until the afternoon.
As Leon opened his eyes in bed, he saw a naked red-skinned man, examining himself in front of the wardrobe mirror.
He quickly woke up and questioned, “Why did you take your clothes off again?”
Prince Lieyang turned around and said, “The beautiful scales on my body have completely disappeared.”
Leon took a look and indeed, there were no traces of scales left on his body. He looked completely human now.
“Is there a library or something nearby?” Prince Lieyang suddenly asked.
“Why are you asking about that?”
While putting on his pants, Prince Lieyang said, “Every time I arrive at a new place, I always go to the local library first to learn about the culture and history through literature. Now, I want to understand the culture and history of your world better so I can integrate here more effectively. You wouldn’t want me to cause trouble, right?”
Leon began to have a different opinion of this lizard prince. Judging solely by the appearance of lizard people, it was easy to see them as a primitive race, but now it seemed not to be the case.
“If you want to learn about our world, you don’t need to go to a library. I have a better way.”
“Oh? Is there a better way than a library?”
Prince Lieyang looked interested, and Leon took out a thin, smooth silver object from the bedside table. When he opened it, it split into two halves.
One side was covered with dozens of raised small squares, each bearing unfamiliar characters, while the other side was a smooth black surface like a mirror.
After pressing a circular button, the black surface suddenly lit up, displaying vibrant images.
“What is this?” Prince Lieyang asked with curiosity, his eyes fixed on the screen.
“It’s a personal computer. Behind this small screen is a vast virtual world. The information generated in there every day, if converted into text, no library in the world could contain it all. Through this, you can quickly learn about our world.”
Prince Lieyang’s eyes lit up.
“Such a magical thing?”
Leon chuckled, “But first, you need to start with learning the language.”
He opened a video website focused on early childhood education and started playing a video.
With the press of a button, the sweet voice of a child came from the computer screen.
“BabyBus learns characters. Which Chinese character are we learning today?…”
Prince Lieyang was instantly drawn in by the vivid images and captivating melody, unable to take his eyes off the screen.
Leon placed the computer on the desk, connected it to the power, and then retrieved some bread from the kitchen fridge, placing it beside the computer.
“Take your time to watch, eat the bread if you get hungry. I’m going to work now. If you have any questions, you can come to the bar to find me.”
Prince Lieyang nodded, a curious gleam in his wild eyes, fixated on the computer screen.
“In the sky, there’s a white dove; in the grass, there’s a gray rabbit; on the water, there’s a yellow duck. I am Daddy’s good son. Son, the character for son.”
Leon smiled and turned to leave the room.
When he walked into the Emerald Bar, unlike the previous days, Nilu was the one there first.
She was wearing her enticing uniform as usual, and unlike the lazy Elise, when Leon entered, she was diligently wiping the bar.
“Good morning, Sister Nilu.”
“Good morning, little brother Leon.”
In that world, it was currently morning.
After exchanging greetings with Nilu, Leon was about to head to the break room to change clothes. As Nilu, who was wiping the bar, seemed to remember something, she turned her head to remind Leon. However, by the time she turned, he had already opened the door to the break room.
An ear-piercing scream erupted from the room, and Leon quickly closed the door.
Nilu gave an apologetic smile, “Sorry, I forgot to tell you that Elise is changing clothes inside.”
In no time, Elise, now dressed in waiter attire, stormed out of the break room, her cheeks flushed, glaring at Leon.
“That… I didn’t see anything.” Leon knew he was in the wrong and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Nilu chimed in, “Sorry, Elise. It was my fault for not reminding him. But you don’t need to worry, your humanoid…”
Nilu didn’t finish her sentence, but Leon’s mind stirred. She just said “humanoid”?
Could it be that Elise wasn’t human?
Well, even if she wasn’t, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, this bar led to a fantastical world.
“Just remember to knock next time.”
Elise snorted, but that seemed to be the end of her grudge against Leon.
Leon quickly assured her that from now on, whenever he entered the break room in the morning, he would knock first.
