Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

Neon lights flickered on the exterior walls of buildings in the East District, and the damp metallic smell mixed with the lingering odor of gunpowder and ammunition filled the air.

You concluded your three-hour search but ultimately returned without any clues about the mysterious gem.

Fortunately, you can't say you gained nothing.

"Qin Che, the specialties of your N109 district are truly unique."

You lift the hem of your trench coat and casually sit down in front of a "coffee shop" whose signboard glows with an eerie blue light.

You rummage through your backpack and pull out the things you bought on the way here.

A pen that can fire tranquilizer darts, a mini smart scope, a miniature monitor disguised as a lighter, and a sensor shaped like a band-aid. What's even more amazing is that this thing comes in both everyday and waterproof versions.

These ingenious little items are quite similar to the things I bought from the old lady earlier.

Seeing how much fun you're having, Qin Che chuckled and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone buy travel souvenirs in N109."

"But these things are really interesting, so it was worth the trip today."

You held a uniquely shaped brooch to Qin Che's chest and held it up to his left and right.

Qin Che raised his finger and pressed it slightly against it: "There's a small amount of explosive hidden inside. Are you planning to give me a little surprise?"

You hurriedly pulled your hand back and carefully put it into the box that came with it: "Ah, I took the wrong one! I meant to give you the badge that mimics the strange cries of a wanderer."

You rummaged around again and pulled out another pair: "This is it. They do look a bit alike. This stray's cry is both funny and penetrating. If you get lost and I can't find you, just press this button and I'll be able to pinpoint your location precisely."

Qin Che took the brooch and pinned it to your trench coat collar: "According to you, you suit it better than I do."

You purse your lips and reluctantly accept it.

After carefully putting away the pile of messy "souvenirs," you tilted your head and stared at Qin Che, thinking seriously for a while.

“Qin Che, I think there’s something wrong with our investigation strategy.” You reached out and pinched Qin Che’s chin. “Every time I try to use my friendliness to get information out of people, you scare them away with your cold and impatient expression. Even though not everyone here knows you, the head of the covert operation, can’t you smile a little?”

Qin Che pinched your little hand that was playing around on his chin and lowered his eyes: "This is not a place where you can get information just by being friendly."

"That's not a place where you can get information by scaring people~~"

Although Leng Lianche is really handsome and has great taste, you guys still have important things to do.

Because of his actions, you keep uncontrollably forgetting your original purpose for coming to Charon.

You shake your head slightly, clearing your mind of the jumbled thoughts, then pull your hand away from his grasp, extend two index fingers, and use them to create a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Che, forced to work: "..."

"Look how great this is! This smile is so sunny, so friendly, and so handsome."

"Really? I think this level of sunlight isn't enough. You should demonstrate it for me."

Seeing Qin Che about to approach and pinch your face, you immediately pushed him away and turned him around.

"Hey! Qin Che, stop fooling around! Stop practicing your smile! We still have the West District to explore, let's hurry up and continue searching for gems!"
