I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

"Alas!"

Pado turned her head slightly and saw what had happened. Her body trembled involuntarily, and then her pupils dilated in shock.

Swire, what are you doing?! Swire!

The cat didn't care whether it would wake the person up; it forcefully pushed the person next to it away and then sat up in shock.

"Well……"

Suddenly pushed in her sleep, Swire mumbled something and seemed to be waking up.

However, it was clear that Paddo didn't really want to face Swire, that biting guy, at this moment...

She first glanced at her snow-white shoulder, which now bore a red bite mark and was slightly damp, then looked at Swire, who was about to wake up. Gritting her teeth, she pulled out the "Ungrateful" item from her spatial storage and slapped it across the woman's face…

"..."

As it turns out, those who understand the rules produce high-quality products; a light tap with a brick and S.H.E. immediately gave her a perfect deep sleep.

"...Ah, we're not clean anymore!"

Seeing Swire fall asleep again beside her, Padre remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a wail.

This... this shopping trip and dinner were a complete waste of her time! Forget about the intelligence and energy, she even lost herself in this whole mess!

The cat was devastated. She genuinely felt that closeness between girls was fine, but it was limited to just cuddling! What respectable friend would hug, nibble, and lick someone?! She was no longer clean!

At this moment, only one thought occupied her little mind: to leave quickly and go back to take a shower! She couldn't take it anymore!

Thinking it over, Pado acted quickly, and in order to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, she didn't even have the mood to slowly pick the lock.

He swiftly drew his signature weapon, "Past Dreams," and cleaved the chain connecting the handcuffs in two.

After breaking free of its restraints, the cat briefly washed up in Swire's bathroom before grabbing its coat and preparing to make its escape.

However, not far from Swire's room, Patto seemed to remember something, paused, and went back.

"I almost forgot..." she muttered to herself. Cat took out the phone that she had confiscated yesterday from her spatial storage, placed it on the bedside table, and then quietly closed the door and left.

--------------

At the same time, on the other side——

"Sigh... this area of ​​Swire is getting harder and harder to get into." After spending some time registering his personal information, Hoshiguma finally entered the villa area where Swire lived and drove towards her house.

As for why Hoshiguma, the Royal Guard Inspector, didn't go to work early in the morning but instead came here... that goes back to the time she couldn't contact Swire last night.

Yesterday afternoon, she declined Swire's invitation due to work, but after get off work last night, she remembered it and messaged her again, asking if she wanted to go out for a drink or something. However, she didn't receive a reply from her friend until very late last night.

Because he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was too tired to go to bed early, Hoshiguma didn't call rashly last night, but instead decided to come over this morning after careful consideration.

"We're here. I wonder if Swire is awake yet..." Looking at Swire's yard so close to him, Hoshiguma parked his car, took off his helmet, and prepared to ring the doorbell.

However, before she could even touch the doorbell at the gate, the gate to Swire's house was pushed open from the inside, and she bumped right into the person coming out.

"..."

The moment the two locked eyes, the atmosphere instantly fell silent.

"..." Pado looked at Hoshiguma, whose hand was still ringing the doorbell, and her mind went blank. She couldn't help but cover her face in pain.

To be honest, all she can think about right now is, "I've just recovered (on a new account), don't mess around!"

"Oh, what a coincidence! Miss Patricia is visiting Swire's house so early in the morning?"

Although she was asking with a smile, Hoshiguma's nerves were already on edge, and she was watching the formidable enemy before her with vigilance.

At the same time, she began to worry about her friend who hadn't replied to her messages since last night...

However, Hoshiguma's vigilance and concern suddenly stopped when her gaze swept over Pado's bare shoulders, which were currently uncovered. Instead, she was filled with astonishment and surprise.

"Gulu..."

If Hoshiguma means if she's not mistaken, then those are bite marks on the shoulder of the "Dragon Gate Thief"?

The bite on the shoulder was quite deep, leaving a bruise; the bite on the other shoulder... looked a little lighter, only turning the originally fair skin slightly red, making it look somewhat... ambiguous.

"!"

Suddenly thinking of something she shouldn't have, Hoshiguma felt her mind explode, and then subconsciously looked towards the house behind Paddy.

The location is right, the house is right, she didn't go to the wrong door, so...?

It's not entirely Hoshiguma's fault for suddenly thinking the wrong thing; the marks just don't make sense. If it was just a bite as revenge for being bullied (?), then the severe bite could be explained. But what about the lighter marks? It doesn't make sense!

She didn't think her friend would bite like that out of revenge, so... um?

P.S.: It's been three days, and the aftereffects are still so strong. My princess, my princess, waaaaa QAQ.

Chapter 128 Padma: "If you're bad at it, practice more!"

“If there’s nothing else… we’ll be going now. Swire is still sleeping in her room, go wake her up…” In the end, it was Paddo who couldn’t stand the strange atmosphere any longer and pointed behind her before speaking first.

"...?"

However, Patto's words only made Hoshiguma's expression even stranger. Wait, what she said... so Swire is the one below?! Hiss!

No, that's not right... Shouldn't she detain the person now?

Thinking that his old friend might have been taken advantage of, Hoshiguma did not hesitate and grabbed Paddo's arm with extreme speed.

"..."

Seeing Hoshiguma's expression change several times before she suddenly grabbed her arm, Padre was somewhat confused about what was happening. However, due to not wanting to cause a conflict, her position, and the inconvenience of holding her coat, she did not choose to dodge and instead let the other person grab her arm.

Why don't you...?

Seeing how easily she had succeeded, Hoshiguma was slightly taken aback, and then subconsciously asked a question.

However, before she could finish speaking, something she inadvertently caught out of the corner of her eye made her eyes widen, and she stopped abruptly again.

Honestly, in those few short minutes of encountering the "Dragon Gate Thieves" this morning, Miss Ghost truly felt like she had used up all the moments of astonishment and surprise she had in a month.

At that moment, on the wrist of the hand she was grabbing and pulling, was half of a silver bracelet that looked extremely familiar to her and gleamed in the sunlight...

Hoshiguma thought that if she wasn't mistaken, the thing on the wrist of the "Dragon Gate Thief" was that, right? It was handcuffs, wasn't it?

"hiss……"

At this moment, Inspector Hoshiguma, usually efficient and meticulous, felt her brain was about to overheat. Who is she? What is she doing? Why is she here?

"Oh dear, although I don't know what you're thinking, my intuition tells me it's not a good thing..." Pado looked at Hoshiguma, whose brain was a bit overloaded, and withdrew her hand with a helpless expression.

“Swire is safe in the room, we didn’t hurt her. It’s getting late, you should all be getting ready for work soon, stop dawdling!” As she spoke, Pado stopped looking at Hoshiguma’s expression and quickly left the yard, putting on her coat before heading off.

However, they hadn't gone far when the cat suddenly seemed to remember something. It stopped abruptly, turned around, and glared at the person behind it, saying in a menacing tone, "Oh, right, your name is Hoshiguma, right? When that guy wakes up, you pass on a message for me!"

"Tell her, if you can't cook, then practice more! If you can't drink, then don't drink! And where did you learn all that nonsense from?!"

As she finished speaking, Pado's face flushed with anger as she recalled what had happened. Having said all she needed to say, she didn't linger any longer and quickly disappeared from Hoshiguma's sight without looking back.

However, the cat, who had already gone far away, was completely unaware that her face, flushed with anger, had taken on a completely different appearance in the eyes of others...

Bites, handcuffs, drinking, all sorts of random things I learned... and I just need to practice cooking more... Hmm?

"..."

Having received yet another string of shocking news, Hoshiguma was completely speechless. All she wanted to do now was rush to Swire's bedroom, drag her away, and "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely."

And she did it without hesitation...

--------------

Meanwhile, in Chen Huijie's apartment—

"Crack..."

Chen, carrying breakfast for two, carefully opened her door and tiptoed inside.

She then looked around, placed the breakfast on the table, glanced at the time, and then headed towards her bedroom.

Standing at the door of his bedroom, Chen was completely unlike his usual casual self. He pushed the door open with utmost care and looked inside.

Then, she successfully met a pair of slightly drowsy purple eyes.

"Oh, you're already awake, Gretchen. How did you sleep yesterday?" Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the little darling in the room was awake, then confidently pushed open the door and walked in, asking.

"Hmm...very good. And, it's furry!"

Upon hearing this, Greta blinked her beautiful eyes gently, then nodded her head in understanding.

Finally, she didn't forget to rub against the cat plush toy Chen had bought for her the day before, which she was holding in her arms.

"It's good that you've rested. Get up, wash up, and then get ready for breakfast." Chen smiled at her as he walked over, then patted her head.

.

Actually, Chen planned to clear out the bedroom for Greta to sleep alone last night, and then she would sleep on the sofa. But in the end, she couldn't resist her little cutie's persuasion, and they ended up sleeping together...

That's why she suddenly asked Gretchen if she had slept well last night.

After all, Chen hadn't slept with anyone for a long time, so he had absolutely no idea whether his sleeping posture was bad or not...

"Hmm... I understand." The touch on her head made Gretchen squint her eyes comfortably like a kitten, and she answered softly.

"Ha~"

Upon hearing this, Chen couldn't help but chuckle, withdrew his hand, turned around, and left the room to make preparations.

The breakfast she bought this morning was all from Yan Country, and she wasn't sure if it would suit her taste, so she planned to heat up some milk, bread, and other things.

"..."

After watching Chen leave the room, Gretchen didn't rush to get out of bed. Instead, she chose to continue kneeling on the bed, hugging her doll, and dozing off for a while, letting her little brain reboot.

To be honest, a whole night has passed, and the little girl still hasn't decided what gift to buy for Chen today...

The main reason is that she hasn't spent much time with him, and even though they get along very well, she can't quickly figure out what he likes.

Lost in thought, Greta suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea. She reached into her small bag on the bedside table and took out her phone.

Since Swire and Hoshiguma also received gifts today, the little girl, wanting to save some surprises, skipped them and found another person in her friend list, starting to edit a message.

"Furry, are you busy?"

"I want to ask you something. Do you know what Huijie likes?"
