"But since it concerns the other company's reputation, let's see how she handles things."

Paimon: "......"

Charlotte: "..."

[Traveler: "......"]

reader:"......"

[Sino tried to explain further: "What's wrong? It's about the 'tail'..."]

To this, everyone really wants to say, stop with the tail, and watch your mouth first!

Sino's dry humor is sometimes funny and clever, but more often it just makes people feel cold because his timing is too subtle.

We were hoping to hear something serious! We can talk about the less serious stuff after the lights are out!

Chapter 743 The Tail Has Its Own Ideas

At this moment, the Sumeru F4 who were reading with Seno fell silent, including Nasida and the Tree King.

Putting aside whether his jokes are funny or not, the timing of his jokes is so good at making the atmosphere awkward and leaving people unsure how to respond.

Sino continued to try to lighten the mood by telling jokes, but after Sino's efforts, the atmosphere finally turned completely cold, and everyone waited in silence for the suspect, without saying a word.

Fortunately, the suspect arrived quickly, preventing the silence from lasting long. The illustration on the next page showed three people approaching, and these three did not look like good people.

This is everyone's first impression upon seeing it, just like the immediate feeling that seeing Funina and Shadow makes one think they aren't very smart.

It's essentially judging people by their appearance, but this intuitive feeling can be quite accurate sometimes.

For example, Aikofei, you can tell at a glance that she's a master chef.

The reason everyone felt the newcomers were hostile was because of the leader's appearance; he had a big beard and wore an eye patch, which made him look rather fierce.

However, Qi Liangliang is very professional. She doesn't care whether the other party is fierce or not, or whether their tone is good or bad. As long as the other party is a client, they are her service recipients.

[Qi Liangliang said, "You must be Mr. 'Didi Baba'?"]

The illustration shows Kira Ryo smiling so gently. Look how cute she is! Maybe we should buy some discreetly delivered humanoid couriers from "Komaha-ya" to boost her sales?

Unfortunately, Didi Baba didn't care whether Qi Liangliang was cute or not; he took the goods and turned to leave.

Qi Liangliang quickly said, "I suggest you open it and check. I've been traveling to many places these past few days, the journeys have been bumpy, and the weather has been unpredictable. I don't know if the contents inside have been affected."

She said this partly out of professional ethics, and partly because she remembered her mission: to find out if the other party was a criminal.

However, those people didn't care whether Qi Liangliang was good or bad. Seeing that Qi Liangliang seemed to only have a cat, they planned to kill the silly cat to silence her.

Didi Baba asked, "Hey, you... you came alone today, right?"

Readers frowned upon reading this; this person was truly wicked. Qi Liangliang was merely an innocent, adorable, and ethical deliveryman who was simply passing by.

They even kill kittens; my first instinct is absolutely right.

Then look at Nazan. Although she is a member of the treasure-hunting gang, Nazan stands out as someone who only cares about money and not lives, and even has a bit of kindness in her heart. The difference between her and the people in front of her is really big.

No wonder everyone thought Nazan was a nice person at first glance; it must have been their intuition, not because she was wearing white stockings.

[Kira Ryo was puzzled, but still answered, "Huh? Right...right, how could I possibly bring so many people with me to deliver packages?"]

[“Oh no! I’m bad at lying! My tail wags nonstop when I lie!”]

Although she answered, she was actually very flustered because Qi Liangliang was not good at lying. Her tail was wagging wildly up and down like an engine that couldn't be stopped.

Teacher Abedo used a few illustrations to depict Kirara's flustered tail. She's clearly not good at lying, but she has to lie. It's just that being a cat isn't easy.

Although being a cat is not easy, it brings joy to people. This setting is so cute. The tail, which can't hide its thoughts, makes readers wonder if the goddess hides her tail because she can't help but have thoughts.

If, when she first met Shadow, the goddess had wagged her tail happily, Shadow would have seen right through Miss Fox's thoughts.

Speaking of shadows, the last time I saw a scene where the inner thoughts couldn't be hidden was in Yingbao's Pure Land.

Even after leaving the Pure Land of One Heart, Ying was still very good at hiding her thoughts, because she almost always had a blank look on her face and didn't have many changes in expression.

Unlike Funina, who, despite her exaggerated facial expressions, skillfully buries her loneliness deep within and presents a cheerful demeanor to the world.

The book says that Paimon, who was in the distance, noticed the movement of Kira's tail and thought it was a signal, but upon closer inspection, he felt that something was not quite right.

Isn't the signal supposed to be the tail moving up and down or sinking together? What does this up-and-down swaying mean? Is it a feint to fool the other side? And how many feints are there in that one second?

Grandpa Tail, what exactly are you trying to say?

[Sino observes in silence: "..."]

Qi Liangliang's tail color is somewhat difficult to discern; now it's impossible to understand her tail color.

[Kira Ryo tried to cover it up: "Oh right, this... this is actually my 100th package in my career, it's very meaningful!"]

"I would be very happy if you could let me know what I'm giving away this time!"

In the illustration, Qi Liangliang's movements are awkward; she twists and turns, avoiding eye contact, practically screaming guilt on her face.

If this were a romance story, the other person would suspect that Qi Liangliang was secretly in love with them, a tsundere.

Unfortunately, reality isn't a love story. The other party just felt that Qi Liangliang must be hiding some secret and had to be silenced!

This idea would be interesting if it were applied to the male protagonist in a romance story. Upon seeing the female protagonist's tsundere personality, his first thought would be to silence her. The phrase "tsundere ruins a life" takes on a literal meaning.

Qi Liangliang's current behavior is a bit arrogant. She didn't dare to look at the other person when she said this. She twisted her body and rubbed her hands together, showing the full demeanor of a little girl.

Its tail swayed even more violently, as if sparks were about to fly from the friction at the base of its tail.

If it were Aikofi, she would either have seen Funina or be acting arrogantly.

Paimon, for one, couldn't understand Kira's meaning anymore, while Seno was still analyzing:

"Her tail kept wagging and swaying...was it pointing east? West?"

"...! Could it be that she's trying to express that she has 'mixed feelings'?"

The phrase "intertwined" refers to the way the tail intertwines when it swings between different parts; it's a clever joke.

This dry metaphor was quite interesting to everyone because Sino made it at a good time, when the atmosphere was already quite cheerful.

Everyone was having a good time, but Qi Liangliang was extremely anxious. She was never good at lying, and now she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, with a fishbone stuck in her throat and thorns in her back.

Qi Liangliang had no idea what her teammates were talking about. She was already at her breaking point, her heart filled with shame.

[Qi Liangliang gave up: "Uh... well, could you please give me a five-star review when you have time..."]

Qi Liangliang wanted to leave, but the other party didn't want her to go.

[Didi Baba: "Hmph, I'll bury you when I have time!"]

Didi Baba: Hmph? Trying to escape!?

Character Voice - Kira: About the Tail - Lying

"Ugh, now the whole world knows my tail wags when I lie! This is so embarrassing, do I even want to be a cat anymore?!"

Chapter 744 Tears Fall When I Learned the Truth

Hearing this, even if Qi Liangliang was an innocent and naive cat—I mean, a kitten—she would know that the other person was not a good person.

But she wasn't scared. Cats can't lie, but they're great fighters. A cat's punches are faster than its tail.

Today I'll show you what a great monster like Inazuma really is!

In the illustration, Qi Liangliang stands with her hands on her hips and frowns, wanting to let the other person know that she's angry! (Angry cat ╰_╯.jpg)

Qi Liangliang wasn't afraid, but Paimon said somewhat nervously:

"Whoa! They've even drawn their knives! There's no doubt about it now! Let's hurry and save Qi Liangliang!"

She looked back and saw that there was no one behind her; her teammates had already rushed over to help.

It doesn't matter whether she goes or not, since her fighting ability is not even as good as a wild boar anyway.

Not only did she not care, but the others didn't care either. Seno simply came over and transformed, and he terrified those three guys. Seno, the Grand Disciplinary Officer, was quite famous.

After a few brief exchanges, the three men raised both hands.

They surrendered. The three of them plopped down on the ground and started arguing. What a joke!

Given this disparity, if we actually won, why would we still be a treasure-hunting gang?

The battle was transitioned into a single illustration by Professor Abedo, which depicted Seno's transformation – a remarkably quick transition.

At the same time, this group of treasure hunters can be said to have lost face quite a bit. In the previous illustration, they were just ready to fight, but in the next illustration, they had already raised their hands in surrender.

Funina was still not satisfied. How could it end so soon after it had just begun? Why surrender?

She had no idea that she would have the opportunity to experience surrendering in the future.

Now that this group of treasure hunters has become more flexible, it's time to explain their motives for doing this.

[Papak explained: "Recently, some people weren't satisfied with petty theft and wanted to pull off a big heist... so... so..."]

"I just want to pull off a groundbreaking transnational case!"

"That way, everyone will know that our treasure-hunting group is the most powerful multinational organization!"

[Traveler: "......"]

reader:"......"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing the truth he revealed, whether they had thought about it or not.

Those genuinely trying to solve the case can only say, "Damn it!" (referring to Nasita)

"This is a terrible ending! This is a terrible ending!!!" Sitrali frantically pounded on Sitralin.

Trying to prove you're the most powerful multinational organization? There aren't that many multinational organizations in Teyvat, are there?

What do you want to do? Do you want to challenge the Fools or the Adventurers' Guild? Or do you want to challenge the wealthy Northern Bank?

Within transnational organizations, it seems that only those innocent college students from Sumeru are below you in the food chain.

And aren't you a bunch of thieves? Why would a bunch of thieves want to make a name for themselves?

The group of treasure hunters were still discussing their plan, such as how the back of the treasure plaque was actually printed by themselves, serving as a code among the group.

Simply bury the cards in the ground and add some water to wipe away the patterns, revealing their true message: "It says:"

"Brothers of the treasure-hunting group, we're going to pull off a big heist this time. Grab your daggers, cover your faces, and it's best to bring your pack animals too..."

"Oh, if there are no pack animals anywhere else..."

I wrote a whole bunch of random things, and now the back of the card isn't big enough to convey the information.

How stupid...so stupid that readers no longer want to know the details; the more they know, the more their intelligence feels insulted.

Regardless of how good or bad the plan this group of thieves came up with was, their goal was already incredibly stupid.

With such a foolish purpose as its underlying theme, no matter what the plan is, it will only leave everyone speechless.

This is similar to Zhongli's plan. His goal was to retire and make way for others to govern, believing in the future of humanity. This goal is normal.

But if he's just trying to create a big news story and get on the front page, then everyone will find it ridiculous.

Fucarus's goal was to resolve the prophecy of destruction, so her plan was grand and ambitious.

But if her goal is simply to retire, then making Funina suffer for five hundred years for that purpose would be utterly insane.

The thieves' current objective gives the impression that they're crazy.

Your treasure-hunting gang makes money by stealing and robbing. Do you think you're an adventurers' guild? Do you rely on your reputation to get jobs?

The members of the treasure-hunting gang covered their faces upon seeing this, having never regretted joining the gang so much.

This is an isolated incident; please do not generalize about the group! As everyone knows, the Treasure Thief Group is a relatively loosely organized group.

Perhaps it's a difference in customs, but we generally don't recruit idiots here, even though most of the treasure-hunting crews that have appeared so far are idiots...

Readers thought their purpose was already quite abstract, but it turns out there were even more experts involved.

What's even more baffling is that someone in the looting group who received the card back couldn't resist going out to play cards and ended up selling the card back.
