Then... he was met with even more strange looks.
There's no way around it, Liu Bai's current style is just too out of place.
It feels like my reputation points are plummeting.
"Okay, this is my room."
Despite the psychological pressure from the outside world, Liu Bai led them back to his room.
"...Is this really a good idea?"
No longer needing to pretend to be a doll, Xueyi jumped down from Liu Bai's arms on her own.
“Wouldn’t that be too ostentatious?”
"When you judges arrest people, do you arrest those who act suspiciously first, or those who act openly and honestly?"
"..."
Although that makes sense, her doubts about Liu Bai's integrity still stemmed from his ability to remain upright in such matters.
It's as if being a pervert doesn't mean you're not a pervert if you do it openly and honestly.
Okay, although she understood what she meant.
The more unguarded and clueless Liu Bai appears to the outside world, the less wary the people here are of him, making it easier for them to take action.
...Although Xueyi really wanted to be normal.
It wasn't just Liu Bai who lost face, but also hers.
Despite her thoughts, Xueyi nodded blankly, sat down on the chair next to her, and used the bracelet Liu Bai had given her to watch videos.
"I feel like something really interesting is going to happen here?"
"Even if it's interesting, it has nothing to do with you." Bai grabbed the little white fox by the back of its collar and lifted it up. "Hmm... By the way, can I see your crotch?"
"Eh~~Aren't you being frank about your curiosity?"
There was a hint of amusement in the voice of the Fox Palace.
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko curled herself up into a tight ball.
Xueyi looked at Liu Bai with the same scrutinizing gaze one would use to examine a prisoner.
"……never mind."
But honestly! It's normal to look at your pet's genitals when it's your first time owning a pet, right?
No, it's more accurate to say that this is a normal reaction for first-time pet owners!
Isn't a monster's beast form still a beast?
"I'll leave the reconnaissance work in some areas to you and the Divine Child."
Their cute animal appearance can save them a lot of trouble.
"You two can go out and have some fun, or you can rest first. I'll go out and take a look around."
"Look at that child named Peruvieri? Honestly, you're quite the womanizer."
Fox Palace wagged its tail.
"Forget it! Never mind you, Divine Child! Let's go out and have some fun!"
"No……"
…………
"Miss Peruvéli?"
Sure enough, after returning to the first floor, Peruvieri was still delivering documents back and forth.
However, he still didn't pay much attention to Liu Bai.
If Liu Bai is blocking the way, go around him or just bump into him; if he's not blocking the way, ignore him.
"Peruvelli?"
“Pelu…”
"...Are you very free?"
After several back-and-forth trips, Peruvieri's patience seemed to have finally run out.
He stopped once again and looked at Liu Bai.
"Because today is a buffer period," Bai said, leaning against the wall. "It's really quiet, but are you always this busy?"
"...Isn't this none of your business?"
Peruvée coldly sized up Liu Bai.
"Why don't you go back and play with your dolls?"
Wow! Although it doesn't contain any profanity, it's surprisingly aggressive!
It's practically like saying, "You piece of trash, stop bothering me and go back to masturbating."
...Such strong aggression.
"Will answering this question cost you a piece of flesh?" Bai struggled to maintain his composure. "It's not a difficult question to answer, is it? Hmm... just think of it as a survey from the research team?"
"...I'm only busy today because you're here. How about that answer? Now that you're leaving, I can finally relax."
Peruvelli looked away from Liu Bai and left again without looking back.
Liu Bai yawned and continued to lean against the wall.
A few minutes later, Peruvieri came out of the archives again and passed by Liu Bai.
"...?"
Peruvelle glanced at Liu Bai with some confusion.
...This time, the quack didn't call me when I came over, which felt quite strange.
Never mind, it should be...
“Pelu…”
Just as Peruvieri turned her gaze back, Liu Bai's voice rang out softly.
"...Are you never going to stop?"
Peruvelli stopped and looked at Liu Bai with hostile eyes.
"A survey isn't something that ends with just one question," Bai said, resting his chin on his hand. "Here's another question: How old are you this year?"
"18."
"Hey... a kid who just came of age."
Peruvieri did not show any resentment at Liu Bai's address; instead, she remained indifferent.
At 18, she's perfectly suited to be a Valkyrie.
"Ask any other questions you have now. End your investigation and then disappear from my sight."
"Hmm, what are those documents you're holding?"
"Far Northern Branch Trade Documents"
"Oh, you're checking expenses. What about the previous trip?"
"Valkyrie personnel transfer file".
"How long have you been in charge of this aspect of the work?"
"Two years."
"Is the time just right? You're Kujavina's adopted daughter?"
"…Obviously."
The sudden turn of events caught Peruvian off guard.
"Kujavina only has one adopted daughter?"
"...No, I'm just one of them."
The issue suddenly became sensitive.
"How did Kujavina adopt you? Through an orphanage? Or was it a private adoption from the beginning?"
"...orphanage."
"So you have a good relationship with your mother?"
"No...we had a minor disagreement recently, but it's nothing to do with you."
Liu Bai's slightly meaningful gaze made Peruvier change her mind on the spot.
This guy... is he trying to seduce me?
No, why does this guy's expression look like he's "verifying" something?
"Are you a war orphan?"
"At my age, how many people here aren't like that?"
"Hmm... So, how much do you know about anti-entropy here?"
"We've never clashed, so I don't know—haven't you finished asking your questions yet?"
Peruvieri showed an impatient expression.
This conversation unexpectedly put Peruvier under pressure.
"Isn't today your buffer period? If you have any questions, you can ask them during tomorrow's site visit."
"The investigation started when we arrived, otherwise, who were those documents you're carrying given to?"
"..."
Rosalyn and Rita were checking documents at what should have been a private gathering.
Although Liu Bai is still relatively clueless, he is currently gathering information.
buffer?
No, there is no real "buffer time".
"Okay, if you're impatient, then so be it. One last question... Are you getting a little tired of your current life?"
“No, as a Valkyrie, it is my duty to protect this land.” After saying this, Peruvieri left.
"Hmm... Although I am naturally calm, I am still immature because of my age."
Liu Bai stretched and leaned against the wall, feeling a little tired.
Peruvéri was calm and composed, but she was not without desires.
The most difficult people to deal with are never the heartless ones, but the desireless ones.
Peruvée has desires... but she probably hasn't made up her mind yet.
This person was not lacking in the will to resist; however, something was holding her back.
Ok……
Under these conditions, the elements that should appear are "friendship and bonds", right?
Something related to this and connected to Kujavina tripped her up.
Of course, it's definitely not a favor from Kujavina.
When things escalate to the point where murderous intent arises, are old favors still of any use?
Although she is only eighteen years old, Liu Bai has no doubt about Peruvé's decisiveness.
He's a born ruthless person.
Uh... in that case...
Liu Bai thought for a moment.
Oh, could it be some kind of cliché plot where "the comrade-in-arms who has always fought alongside you is actually the villain's child"?
