Chapter 17.5: Sand devil

"Jehidas, why do you sometimes grin whenever you see pepper?"

"It is quite a long story lah, Porsarol"

I tell him the time that I was a jester.

A certain noble came to stay for lodging. He took all of the rooms and forced the owner to expel all of the stayers including my patrons.

Not only that, he yelled at those people who bumped him and ordered the guards to slap them even though he was the one who bumped at them.

My anger could vent on him at any moment.

But doing so would have cost my life.

So I planned to use pepper that was gifted to me the days before by that merchant after an excellent show.

At that time, I was quite an acquaintance of a wind fairy, Aikaze Maiko. I told her to carry the pepper to the eyes of that bastard noble.

When it was high noon and the wind was a bit strong. I play the usual song in the alley. When I saw that noble, I changed my tune a bit higher than the song to let my patrons notice something and that noble was quite tone deaf so he wouldn't notice something wrong

"MY EYES, MY EYES. WHO DID THAT? GUARDS, SEIZE THOSE AROUND HERE"

They gathered all the people nearby including me and my patrons

"WHO DID THIS? ACK MY EYES..."

"Sir, none of us did this since your eyes keep getting stinged, possibly by a " One of my patrons stood up

"That is right, we often get pranked by those , too"

"Me too" another said after another

"GAHH, MY EYES STILL HURT. FINE, ALL OF YOU ARE FREE TO GO"

We grinned afterward, it was our secret. And the next day, he was "honored" to become a peasant. And we kept singing the tale at the bar and while he was frustrated at it. But he is no longer a noble so he couldn't do anything about it
