Unspeakable bubbles

'I've run into a sucker!'

Her eyes lit up. "Okay, meow. I'll bring it over right away, meow. But, smooth milk with cookies is even better, would you like some...?"

"Give me a few servings of each."

"Meow, my owner is so generous. Sisters, we've found a great owner, come on up!"

"Thank you for your patronage!" The catwoman smiled and handed over a bill.

Locke casually took it, glanced at it, and his gaze immediately froze.

"Uh, is there some mistake, or did I miss a zero?"

"No, meow, master, your eyesight is excellent, you didn't see wrong at all." The catwoman waved her hands repeatedly.

“Every expense is clearly written down. Does the owner see anything wrong with it?”

"Of course there's a problem!"

Locke said angrily, "Why is that heart-shaped omelet rice so expensive? It's just plain white rice with an egg on top!"

"Master, that's omelet rice filled with our 'love' for all of you little masters. It's not your ordinary omelet rice."

"Did you notice how perfect the heart drawn with ketchup is? That's love!"

"...Let's not talk about omelet rice anymore, what about milk? Why is the price so outrageous!"

"Master, that's not your average milk cat."

"That's a top-quality beauty product, smooth and creamy honey milk, meow." The catwoman looked very serious.

"A beauty-enhancing product? I haven't noticed my students' skin improving after drinking it."

Upon hearing this, Catwoman was immediately shocked. "Meow! How can it have such an immediate effect? ​​This price is already a great deal for smooth honey milk. Keep drinking it, and you little masters will definitely see results!"

Catwoman gave Locke a thumbs-up, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

Locke's face twitched, and he finally pointed to a spot on the bill: "Why do I have to pay to take a picture with you?"

"Master, the sisters also need to pay for their portraits, meow."

"However, Master is a good master. I just discussed it with my sisters, and we all unanimously decided to give Master a great benefit!"

Catwoman picked up a pen and crossed out the photo-taking fee.

"How about it, I won't take the money, meow!"

Seeing that Locke's expression was still not good, the catwoman asked with a worried look, "Master, did you not bring enough money?"

"There's really no other way, but this time we're giving our good owner a huge discount – 10% off this time."

What do you think?

Catwoman looked at Locke pitifully, as if she would burst into tears if he said no.

"Take it, take it."

Locke wasn't unable to afford the meal, but being ripped off was a terrible experience.

"Meow, thank you! Welcome back again!"

'Only a fool would come back.'

Locke turned to leave, but the catwoman quickly blocked his way.

"What, are you trying to rob this shady establishment?!"

"No, no, Master has misunderstood, meow."

The catwoman gave him a wronged look. "I just wanted to give you some advice because my master is new to Elijah and doesn't know anyone here."

"You said."

"After the meal and the sightseeing, the host will probably be looking for a place to stay."

Locke suddenly realized, "Ha, are you saying you happen to know a reasonably priced and well-equipped hotel?"

To everyone's surprise, the catwoman shook her head and solemnly said, "Master, choose a good hotel. Don't worry about the price, safety comes first."

"What do you mean?" Locke frowned. "Elijah's security should be pretty good."

"Haha, I just said it offhand, take care, Master, meow."

Catwoman bowed deeply to Locke and then greeted the other guests.

"Welcome! Are you alone, master? Would you like some ladies to keep you company during your meal, meow?"

Not knowing what she was up to, Locke ignored her words.

Well, actually, what this demi-human said makes some sense, but Locke just can't choose a hotel with complete facilities.

He's here to do some shady experiments, and going to a hotel full of cameras would be disastrous.

Finally, after leading the students on a tour, Locke arrived at a small, somewhat dilapidated hotel.

"Welcome... Meow?"

"It's you!"

Locke was taken aback and asked warily, "What are you doing here? Have you been following us?"

"what."

Catwoman looked very surprised. "There was no stalking. Keke works three jobs."

"In the morning, I'm at a steamed bun shop; at noon and in the afternoon, I'm at a maid cafe; and at night, I'm at a hotel."

"I see."

Locke gave her a suspicious look and began to observe the hotel.

It looks a bit dilapidated on the outside, but the inside is fairly clean.

The prices were clearly marked at the entrance, eighty yuan a night, which didn't seem like a shady establishment.

"Guest, would you like to stay overnight?" Catwoman couldn't help but ask when she saw Locke staring at her.

"Hmm, this will do." It's getting late, and we might not be able to find a suitable place if we keep looking around.

Most importantly, if this hotel dared to cheat him out of his money, Locke had no intention of being polite.

"Make the arrangements, two people per room. Um, give me a room to myself, except for me."

The catwoman nodded. "Please show your passport and pay the deposit first."

“Okay,” Locke hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Can I ask you something?”

"Please speak."

"Why has your tone changed? You weren't talking like this at noon."

"Meow, like this, Master?"

Catwoman looked at him helplessly: "Guest, this is a proper hotel. If I act so frivolously, I'll get fired. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"Uh, I was just asking. You're fine as you are."

Locke and the others arranged the rooms, deliberately leaving them for last.

"Guest, is there anything else you require?"

"Let me ask you something. To be honest, this money is yours." Locke lowered his voice and handed over an envelope.

Keke skillfully took it, weighed it in her hand, and then a smile of excitement appeared on her face.

"Feel free to ask Keke if you need anything!"

"Are you looking for a romantic getaway tonight? Coco knows a great place."

Locke shook his head and whispered in the catwoman's ear, "I heard that Elijah's buying and selling of demi-humans was legal?"

Keke was taken aback, and the smile on her face vanished.

"That's right, that's correct." She touched the envelope, but still hesitated before answering Locke's question.

"Do you know any recent trading markets? I'm looking for one with fair prices."

Locke looked at the demi-human girl in front of him and was quite satisfied.

This kind of person is obviously a seasoned veteran; letting her show you around the goods will definitely result in you being ripped off a little money.

It's better than being completely clueless about the market and getting ripped off.

Keke's expression was unpredictable, and he remained silent for a while.

Seeing this, Locke was even more satisfied.

If this catwoman still had contact with those trading companies, she wouldn't hesitate at all; she would have already eagerly brought her fat sheep to their doorstep.

"Don't worry, once you find something you like, you'll get your share of the benefits."

"This guest."

Coco looked serious and stuffed the envelope back into her hand.

"I don't know anything about this exchange, please have some self-respect."

"Huh?" Locke never expected her to change her mind at this time.

"Wait a minute, what's wrong with you? As for the price..."

"It's not about the money." Coco straightened her back.

"We demi-humans also have backbone, excuse me!"
