Although Su didn't donate a single Mora and was happy to support Kong and Paimon, Su still wanted to vent his anger on Dugiye.

Su: "Well, we're just killing time anyway, right?"

“Yes!” The warden in charge of guarding Dujiye nodded repeatedly. “Miss Su, you are absolutely right!”

As civil servants in Fontainebleau, they must abide by various codes of conduct, at most making a few harsh words and being slightly more forceful when arresting prisoners, but they must never intentionally mistreat criminals.

But Miss Su is not a civil servant in Fontainebleau, so she doesn't have to abide by those rules and regulations!

And she's a well-known international friend! Perhaps, according to the laws of Mount Sumeru, it's permissible to mistreat sinners!

As an outstanding civil servant in Fontainebleau, it's reasonable for him to respect the habits of important figures from his sister country, right?

“I think it’s unreasonable,” Leosley rubbed his chin, “but it’s okay to take a break and get a glass of water during work hours.”

Having received the hint, the warden simply turned around and headed to the tea room to begin his afternoon tea.

Su Xie smiled as he looked at Du Jiye, who was handcuffed to the hospital bed.

Dugier couldn't help but press himself against the wall, feeling like prey being targeted by a large, ferocious beast.

"So you're called Belly Button, because you're full of bad ideas?" Sue pulled out a Fool's standard-issue musket and started poking Dugiye's stomach with the barrel.

Dugier screamed as he was poked, but his expression changed drastically when he saw what kind of gun the girl was holding. "You! You're from the Fatui?!"

Duguirre glared at Leosley, who stood by and did nothing. "As the administrator of Melo Petersburg, you've colluded with the Fools! I'm going to tell the Supreme Inquisitor! Ugh!"

Su shoved the gun barrel into Dugiye's mouth, forcibly muting him.

"Ah~" Leosley lowered his head slightly, his gray-black hair casting a shadow over his eyes. "Now that you've been discovered, then... you can't be allowed to live."

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh! Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!" Dugiye begged for mercy frantically, but the gun barrel blocked his voice from his throat.

"What are you yelling about? I can't hear you." Su pulled the safety latch.

Seeing the girl's movements, Duguirre cried out even louder, shaking his head violently so that the gun barrel shattered several of his teeth.

"Let's talk about it in the next life." Su pulled the trigger decisively.

"boom!"

Duguirre's body slammed violently against the wall behind him.

The intense pain throughout his body, the blurry, piercing buzzing in his ears, and the distorted black and white blocks in front of his eyes made him feel as if his soul was leaving his body.

"Hahaha! This guy almost killed himself just now!"

He didn't realize he was still alive until he heard the girl's laughter.

Kong, who had taken the magazines early in the morning, was quite helpless.

He never expected that Dujiye would be so frightened by Su's few words that he would suffer a head injury.

If Su keeps messing with him, Dugiye might really be played to death.

Before Sora could figure out how to advise the excited girl, Leosley spoke up.

"Let's take it easy. If I really die, Nurse Hisewen will keep blaming me."

Hearing Leosley's pitiful tone, Sue snapped her fingers, being very easygoing.

The black and white cat, its head radiating annoyance and chill, treated Dugiel while simultaneously slapping him hard across the face, then flew out of the room without looking back.

Paimon watched the cat run out the door, thinking, "It really is like its owner."

She's almost able to tell Su's true thoughts just by looking at the cat's head.

With most of his injuries healed, Dugiye, his face swollen, huddled at the foot of the bed, trembling and covering his head.

Sue glanced around the ward. "Leosley, do you have any rat poison here?"

Leosley: "We actually have that."

As a densely populated and enclosed area, Melo Petersburg must be strictly protected against rodent infestations that could easily lead to epidemics, and rat poison is one of the essential medicines on hand.

Leosley asked knowingly, "What do you need rat poison for?"

“I don’t think he’s human,” the girl said in a tone that suggested she had a brilliant idea: “Let’s try feeding him some rat poison. If he dies from it, then he’s a rat!”

Leosley: "What if he hadn't died?"

"Not dead? If he's not dead, he's even less human!" Su pulled out a silver kitchen knife. "Even rat poison couldn't kill him. Let's dissect him and check his internal structure."

Paimon nearly choked, exclaiming, "What kind of new-age witch hunt method is this?!"

Dugier, nearly driven mad by Sue and Leosley's coordinated attack, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

He really didn't want to experience the feeling of being near death again!

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I'll confess! I'll confess to everything! I'll also report the people who helped me transport contraband! I'm applying for witness protection!"

“This is so boring,” Sue said, pursing her lips. “I haven’t even mentioned one of my dangerous ideas yet.”

"Which of your ideas isn't dangerous?" Sora finally realized that he had been too complacent!

Leosley: "Unexpectedly, even more serious problems have been exposed. It seems that a major purge is about to begin in Melo Petersburg."

Sue: "Are you going to get busy?"

“Yes, my lady,” Leosley said regretfully to Sue, “I really hope we can meet again after I’m done with this.”

Paimon: "We'll be staying in Fontainebleau for a while longer."

Although she had finished dealing with things at Fontaine, Sue was very worried about Funina, who was facing a sudden change.

They won't head to the next country until they've helped Funina adjust herself.

Leosley: "Oh, I see. Then I'll have to work even harder. I hope we can have a walk in the sunshine together soon."

——*——*——

After leaving Petersburg, Paimon realized it was already completely dark.

Paimon: "It's easy to lose track of time in places without proper lighting."

"They are also prone to depression." Sue thought she should remind Leos Lido to go out for a walk.

Kong also felt that "it's better to separate work and life a bit."

“Okay,” Leosley, who brought the travelers up, nodded with a smile. “I’ll remember… to take my time to walk around more often.”

After waving goodbye to Leosley, Sue grabbed her friend's hand and skipped happily straight to Funina's apartment.

"Funina Funina, we're back!"

Funina, who was sitting alone at the dining table, quickly stood up and opened the door with surprise, "Su, you're back!"

“Yes, yes,” Sue smelled the food. “Having dinner? What are you eating? I want some too!”

There was a plate and a small bowl on the table. The plate contained some pasta, and the small bowl contained a vegetable salad.

Su:……

It wasn't like this when I ate with Funina last time! Has the price dropped this drastically just because we left the Mo Mang Palace?!

Paimon: "Frinina, are you on a diet?"

"Uh...yes, yeah," Funina, not wanting her friends to worry, casually made up an excuse, "Maintaining a good figure is a daily task for big stars!"

Paimon looked at Funina disapprovingly, "You're already very thin, there's no need for you to lose weight. You should be focusing on getting more nutrition."

Kong nodded, "Health is the most important thing."

Feeling her friends' concern, Funina gave up and lowered her head. "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I just don't have much of an appetite."
