Secret Lock: Universe, Thinking Bunny Head.jpg / About Impressions

Upon hearing this, Hoshiguma still didn't know how to speak, but she knew that standing at the door was not a solution, so she nodded and followed Swire into the villa.

"Tell me, what could have gotten you here so early? Is there some emergency at the Lungmen Guard Department?" As she spoke, Swire went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Hoshiguma, awaiting her answer.

"..."

However, Hoshiguma didn't say anything about work as Swire had expected; instead, she remained silent... until the atmosphere between them grew increasingly awkward, at which point she finally let out a breath and spoke with some difficulty:

"Hmph... Swire, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely... Tell me, what exactly did you do last night?"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Swire's face twitched involuntarily, and then a hint of guilt flashed quickly in her beautiful emerald green eyes.

No way? No way? Hoshiguma didn't see her touching Pardofelis inappropriately while she was drunk last night, did she? No way? No way? She just remembered it herself!!

"..."

After finally managing to gather her thoughts and ask a question Hoshiguma, sensing the guilty look in her friend's eyes, fell silent once again.

This is the third time this morning. She couldn't have been mistaken, could she? In her own friend's eyes, it looks like she's guilty, right? Right?

Bites, handcuffs, drunkenness, all sorts of random things, and more practice with the food... plus Swire's guilty expression. Hiss! Hoshiguma felt like everything was finally connected.

So yesterday, my friend couldn't find anyone to accompany him, and then coincidentally encountered the "Lungmen Thief," handcuffed him, and then forced him... to do something he shouldn't have?!

"Gulp, that..."

Although he had been brainstorming and piecing everything together in his head, out of trust for his friend, Hoshiguma decided to ask again.

However, before she could finish speaking, the familiar silver glint on Swire's left wrist, revealed from under her coat as she sat down, made her choke and swallow her words.

Honestly, with so many coincidences combined, Hoshiguma feels her trust in her friend is in jeopardy. Swire, say something, Swire!

"..."

Perhaps because Hoshiguma's expression was too strange, and her eyes too intense, Swire subconsciously followed her gaze, and then saw something on her left wrist that she hadn't had time to remove...

"... Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?"

Meanwhile, on the other side --

After having breakfast with Chen, Griseo received a reply from Fumizuki.

The text provides a scattered introduction to Ch'en's hobbies and some interesting anecdotes, culminating in a final "minor complaint" and an invitation.

[Griseo actually went out to buy gifts with Chen without inviting me. I'm so sad.]

So, are you free tomorrow? If so, would you like to come over tonight? Like you and Xiao Chen did.

"..."

Looking at these last two messages, Griseo successfully fell silent and began to think about tomorrow's arrangements.

To be honest, the little girl could probably guess why Fumizuki had invited her over—she just wanted to learn more about Talulah through her and then buy some gifts.

However, when it came to gifts, Griseo became somewhat curious. Of course, she wasn't curious about the superficial gifts that Fumizuki and she had bought together.

Rather, it was a gift that the couple had prepared privately, a truly presentable gift for their niece, Talulah, whom they felt deeply indebted to.

Finally, after thinking it over and confirming that there was nothing urgent going on tomorrow, the little girl sent a message back to Fumizuki.

[Tomorrow... I have time, I can go visit. Where is that fluffy creature's house?]

[Don't worry about little Griseo, I'll pick you up tonight. Have a great time with Chen today!]

[Okay, sure...]

P. S.: Ugh, I'm going to be up all night... I really feel like I'm fighting against the King of Hell! It's awful, I need to get it shipped soon.

Chapter 130 Hidden Lock: Universe, Thinking Bunny Head. jpg

After evacuating from Swire's house, Pardofelis sent a message to Rope, bought three breakfasts, and went straight to the hotel to find someone.

She planned to take a good shower before the guests checked out. After all, she had only had a quick wash yesterday, and besides, she had been nibbled and licked by a certain little tiger who liked to bite. She couldn't stand it anymore!

In a certain hotel--

"Knock knock--"

"Click..."

"Good morning, Miss Felis, welcome back~"

Rope opened the hotel room door, looked at the "cheap boss" standing at the door with breakfast in hand, and smiled.

"Rope, but it's not good at all." With that, Pardofelis handed the breakfast to Rope and walked into the room with a slightly depressed expression.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Rope was slightly taken aback, then turned and closed the door behind her. She looked curiously at Pardofelis's retreating figure and asked, "Miss Felis, did something happen? Did the order fail?"

If her guess is true, then this is quite a strange thing in her eyes.

Although Miss Purple Rabbit knew that in their business of stealing... buying goods, mistakes were common. After all, even the most careful person can make mistakes. But it was still surprising that this happened to Pardofelis.

Who on earth could possibly make our formidable Miss Felis fail? It's truly intriguing.

"It's nothing, just a small matter, I'm just a little upset. Let's go take a shower first, Rope you're hungry, let's eat first." Hearing this, Pardofelis gently shook her head, then took out a change of clothes from her spatial storage and went to take a shower.

"?"

Although Rope's curiosity was piqued by Pardofelis's words, he didn't press the matter further. Instead, he turned to the Canned Food on the bed, which was staring at his breakfast, and said, "Here, have some breakfast, Canned Food!"

Meow~

The Canned Food, which had been waiting to Rope those words, suddenly perked up, stretched, and ran towards her.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

After a thorough wash, Pardofelis, dressed in light clothing and drying her wet hair with a towel, stepped out of the bathroom and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the cat finally felt refreshed and fully recharged.

"Miss Felis, come and have breakfast! If you wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold onto the Canned Food!" Rope wits with the Canned Food after noticing the commotion on Pardofelis's side, said without turning her head.

"Okay!"

Watching the adorable interaction between Rope and the Canned Food, Pardofelis couldn't help but smile, then put down the towel and walked over there.

"I left quite a bit of breakfast for you, Miss Felis, please eat." Seeing her sit down next to her, Rope subconsciously shifted to the side and said.

Okay~

"So I really am ruthless after all..." Watching the person beside her quietly eating breakfast, Rope's previously suppressed curiosity suddenly rose again, and she couldn't help but ask again.

However, before she could finish her question, something she caught in the corner of her eye stopped her curiosity and prevented her from finishing her sentence.

What's that? A bite mark...? How strange! Let me take another look, it's so weird! Let me take another look! Ouch!

Although Miss Purple Rabbit left home quite early, that doesn't mean she lacks common sense. So last night... did her "cheap boss" go out to take care of his physiological needs!?

That's not right! Then why did I come back looking so down this morning? Could it be... the other person wasn't very good at the game?

"What did you just say, Rope?" Hearing Rope abruptly stop mid-sentence, Pardofelis, who was eating breakfast with her head down, turned her head curiously to look at him.

"Um... it's nothing, I'm not curious anymore." Meeting Pardofelis's pure heterochromatic eyes, Rope couldn't help but look away, muttering awkwardly in a low voice.

"...?"

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something rude?" Looking at the familiar expression on Rope's face, Pardofelis couldn't help but narrow her eyes and say.

"Cough, how could I! Haha, how could I possibly speak ill of Miss Felis in my mind?" Upon hearing this, Rope couldn't help but cough lightly, then laughed it off.

"..." Hearing Rope's words, Pardofelis couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. To be honest, if she hadn't often used this kind of rhetoric, she would have actually believed it.

However, Cat didn't pay too much attention to this little incident, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We have a question now."

"What's the problem?"

"Well, so, what kind of vaccine do we need if we get bitten?" Pardofelis said, taking a bite of her steamed bun and organizing her thoughts.

"Hmm... there's no broken skin, so I think it's unnecessary." Upon hearing this, Rope, who hadn't expected Pardofelis to bring up the bite mark, momentarily blanked out before replying.

"Fine, damn it, I'm never drinking with that guy again! And I have to find a way to squeeze some money out of him, otherwise I'll be losing out!" With that, Pardofelis couldn't help but take a vicious bite of her breakfast, and then began to seriously plan in her mind.

Actually, this morning, while we were still at Swire's house, Cat had already come up with the idea of extorting money from her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken out her phone and taken a picture instead of immediately pushing the person away when she was bitten. It can only be said that she lost her composure before she even had a chance to think about how much money to extort...

Now that they have successfully evacuated and calmed down, Pardofelis definitely needs to make some serious plans.

As for the previous agreement with Griseo, all I can say is that extortion doesn't count as purchasing goods. Besides, this isn't extortion; it's demanding compensation for emotional distress!

"!"

Listening to the new information revealed by Pardofelis, Rope for a moment, "The whole universe..." (Image of a rabbit head).

It seems what happened last night was an accident... a one-night stand?

"Um, Miss Felis, may I be so bold as to ask, who are you trying to blackmail?" After a moment of Rope, curiosity finally prevailed, and he cautiously asked.

"A police superintendent, the one you contacted before, got bitten twice by that guy. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he didn't extort some money from him?" Faced with Rope's question, Pardofelis didn't think much of it and explained without turning her head.

"?"

In an instant, Rope, stroking his chin, transformed back into a thinking bunny head. jpg

"So Miss Felis was with her last night? I remember you mentioned several police superintendents before, weren't they all girls?"

"Yeah, I was careless yesterday and she handcuffed me."

"?"

P. S.: It's 6 AM. This day is truly gloomy, and typing at this hour makes me hungry so easily. I'll post this now, and I'll correct any typos later. Remember to refresh the page.

Chapter 131 About Impressions

"?"

"Um... Miss Felis, you didn't get the short end of the stick, did you?"

After another brainstorming session, Rope spoke softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Although she asked the question, Miss Purple Rabbit was already almost certain that her Miss Felis had been coerced into suffering a loss...

Damn it, so there are scoundrels in the Lungmen Guard Department too! How dare she? She's taking advantage of Miss Felis's illegitimate profession, making sure no one dares to report her. Shameless!

"Hmm, it was a loss, but it's alright..." Upon hearing this, Pardofelis, who was completely on a different page from Rope, pondered for a moment, then counted on her hands, saying, "Yesterday's operation can be said to have eased tensions and advanced the subsequent plans. Plus, we squeezed that guy out of money today, so overall it wasn't a loss."

"As for this..." She paused slightly, glanced at her shoulder which was slightly red from washing, and said, "Just think of it as being bitten by a dog; you don't even need a shot."

"...?"

When a question mark appeared above Rope's head for what seemed like the umpteenth time, she realized that the problem wasn't with her, but with the guy.

No, is this how the score is calculated? And what does it mean to have the relationship eased? Huh?!

Honestly, Miss Purple Rabbit now wants to grab the person next to her by the shoulder and shake them awake. Even if you don't care about that aspect, as a girl, you can't let yourself be taken advantage of like this!

Aren't you the infamous "Lungmen Thief"? Hurry up and take her down! Stop thinking about extorting money.

If Pardofelis knew what her little brother was thinking right now, she'd definitely start ranting and raving. Is it possible that this situation arose because she messed with someone else first...?

If it weren't for that initial condition, Cat probably wouldn't have even left the house yesterday afternoon, let alone gone to accompany Swire and patiently engaged in a top-notch struggle with her.

"Alright, let me see if Swire is up yet, just a little test." Pardofelis finished his breakfast in a few bites, picked up his phone, and revealed a sly smile.

"..."

Watching Pado excitedly sending messages on her phone, Rope Pardofelis n't help but cover her face, feeling a headache coming on.

What's her name? Swire? She remembered that name.

From that moment on, Miss Purple Rabbit made a major decision: as long as she continued to follow her "cheap boss," she would keep an eye on this aspect for her.

After all, they've spent so much time together. This time has not only made Pardofelis accept Rope and consider her a true friend, but Rope feels the same way.

Although she addressed her as Miss Felis to outsiders and secretly considered her "cheap boss," it cannot be denied that she genuinely accepted Pardofelis as a friend who forcefully entered her life and brought her a better life.
