But he didn't go anywhere, instead he went straight back to his and Vita's room.

(There were quite a few problems.)

On the way, Xia Chuanhu began to think about the questions he could think of in these few short hours.

(First of all, the World Serpent... or rather, Meili, must be planning to achieve some purpose through the first parade of the Golden Courtyard, and that purpose is probably related to the appearance of the [Golden Princess] tomorrow.)

Golden Princess.

This name reminded Xiachuan Hu of some past events in the Clock Tower period. After all, in the Clock Tower, "Golden Princess" was a very famous name.

As we all know, the Clock Tower is a place where one will do anything to reach the root, and the thirteen disciplines that exist in the Clock Tower all have their own ways of trying to reach the root, among which the way of creative science is relatively unique.

The creative science hopes to realize the possibility of reaching the root by creating [beauty beyond common sense].

This is the same principle as [magic] and [magic].

Magic is considered a technology that can lead to the root. It is one of the few things in modern times that is closely related to the root. It is something that modern magicians cannot understand and is beyond the common sense of magicians. In contrast, magic is something that has been understood.

Following this concept, if there is a "beauty" that transcends common sense and is comparable to magic, then perhaps we can get to the root of it - this is the proposition of the science of creation.

Therefore, most magicians in the creative department are part-time artists.

For example, Aozaki Touko, the dolls she makes are truly works of art.

The same is true for [Golden Princess], which is a magical product of one of the families in the Department of Creation - [Izeroma].

Under the premise of the creative science policy, in order to explore what is the beauty beyond common sense, the direction of the Izeluma family is to artificially create beauty. To put it bluntly, it is to create the "most beautiful person" that conforms to the current era and even the current trend through various magic rituals.

And [Golden Princess] is the finished product of this concept.

To be more precise, it is just one of them. After all, in addition to the [Golden Princess], there is also a [Silver Princess]. The two together are the treasure of the Izeroma family.

Now the World Snake uses the name Golden Princess to refer to the new artist who is about to debut...it is hard for Natsukawa Tiger not to feel curious.

Of course, the source of this curiosity is not limited to this. Xia Chuanhu remembers that among the thirteen heroes, one of them was really named [Gold]. In addition to [Golden Entertainment], [Golden Courtyard]... there are really too many things related to gold.

(If I'm not mistaken, Huang Jinji should be the hero, but Ying's previous attitude...)

(In addition to the things Ying revealed to me, Rita's mission assigned by Otto, Fu Hua who suddenly reappeared after being missing for several years - even the two veteran executives of Anti-Entropy were invited.)

There is no need to think too much.

The ability to create a situation by allowing people from the three families of Destiny, Anti-Entropy and World Serpent to gather on the Golden Courtyard at the same time was undoubtedly the work of Meli.

(I can tell with my toes that you must be up to something, Mary.)

(But it doesn’t matter. If you want to play, I will play with you to your heart’s content. But before that—)

"Let's deal with the small matter at hand first."

Before he knew it, Xia Chuanhu had returned to the door of his and Vita's room, but he did not rush to open the door. Instead, he reached out and grasped the door handle and pulled the door from the outside.

And the next moment——

"Crack!"

The door moved.

"Eh? Why can't I open it?"

Someone's voice was heard from the room, and it sounded like a young girl.

Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "You want to leave so soon? You came to my room, but you want to leave without even saying hello. Isn't that a bit rude, you little thief?"

"......ah."

The people in the room made some awkward noises.

This is the reason why Xia Chuanhu came back - there was a thief in his room.

"Well, well... Boss, did you misunderstand something? I'm just a cleaner, not a petty thief. Can you let me out first?"

"sure."

Xia Chuanhu opened the door directly, and then as if he had predicted the future, he reached down and grabbed.

"Meow!"

The thief who was about to rush out through the gap in the door was caught by Xia Chuanhu's neck very accurately. After a very cute cry, he was thrown back into the room.

He then returned to his room and locked the door. Xia Chuanhu looked at the thief who was lying on the ground.

She was a very cute brown-haired girl, probably only one or two years older than Rita?

She was dressed very coolly. Apart from the cape around her neck, the ribbon around her waist, and the leather boots and gloves, she was almost wearing a bikini. There were also some small jewelry hanging everywhere, which jingled when she moved.

Oh, it can’t be said to be a bikini. The upper body is indeed a bikini, but the lower body is wearing leggings. It’s really a strange combination.

But the most eye-catching thing about her was not her dress, but the long tail sticking out from her butt!

(This girl, I remember she should be.......)

"It hurts... My butt..."

Touching her butt and sitting up from the ground, the girl shook her tail, and then before she could look up, her tail was grabbed by Xia Chuanhu.

"Meow!"

Another cute cry.

The girl whose tail was caught immediately slapped Xia Chuanhu's hand with a red face: "Don't, don't grab my tail, this... this boss, this handsome guy, I'm still pretty——"

"Ten thousand dollars a time."

"Boss, feel free to touch me! How about I use my tail to give you a nice show?"

The girl turned hostile almost immediately.

Xia Chuanhu smiled and loosened his hand that was holding the tail: "You wish, a mere petty thief still wants to take money from me? I haven't settled the score with you yet."

"Uh~~~this... this..."

The cat-tailed girl who had just put on a smile suddenly collapsed: "Boss, you really misunderstood, I just... uh..."

"Just what?"

Crossing his legs and looking down at the little cat in front of him, Xia Chuanhu rarely felt playful: "I'm waiting for you to give me a convincing reason, Miss Padufils. If you can't, then I can only send you to the police station."

"Ah this..."

The girl - Padre Felice - was sweating visibly.

23.Are cats our own people?

The girl's name was Padufils.

The moment he saw her, Xia Chuanhu remembered it.

Like Ying and Qianjie, she was a member of the Fire-Chasing Moth of the previous civilization. She was also the thirteenth among the Thirteen Heroes of Fire-Chasing, and a hero who held the inscription of [Empty Dream].

However, compared with those Yingjies whose fighting power was inhuman and who could make Xia Chuanhu more serious, Padufils was really pitifully weak in terms of fighting power. It could not be said that she had no fighting power at all, but only that she had some but not much.

After all, she was not born a soldier, and she joined the Fire Moth in the late pre-civilization period after the appearance of the Tenth Ruler. The reason why she was listed among the Thirteen Heroes was only because she was one of the thirteen fusion warriors who survived.

In Xia Chuanhu's memory, this weakest hero should have landed on the moon with several other heroes at the end of the previous civilization, and then died in battle.

(However, Qianjie and Ying are still alive, and from what they said, it seems that each of them signed an unequal treaty with Meili when they were on the verge of death, and was rescued by Meili. If so, Padufils should be the same?)

But there is a problem.

It was understandable that Qianjie and Ying were rescued, after all, the two of them were indeed outstanding in combat, but Padofelice... To put it bluntly, Xiachuanhu really couldn't think of what she could do for a while? Her most proud abilities should be infiltration and stealing, but for the World Snake, did it really need talents in this area?

While Xia Chuanhu was thinking about this, Padufils was also nervously observing the man in front of her, or the boy? After all, in Padufils's opinion, the man in front of her was about the same age as her.

(Alas~~~ I am really unlucky. I originally thought that the people on this boat must be rich or noble, and I might be able to pick up some good things by sneaking up on them, but this has failed... I really have to find a chance to escape.)

Not that Padova is bragging.

Although she had accidents before, she was able to escape easily every time. Those who wanted to catch her could not catch up with her even if they ran their legs off.

It will definitely be the same this time.

"never mind......"

Xia Chuanhu's voice interrupted Padufils's thoughts: "It's no use thinking about it here, it's better to ask the person directly - but in order to prevent you, a little cat, from escaping, I still have to tie you up first."

"......Eh?"

Padufils almost subconsciously wanted to run away, but Xia Chuanhu was much faster than her. He just snapped his fingers, and a dozen circles suddenly appeared around her, and then quickly shrank, trapping her tightly on the spot!

and......

"Clap!"

Because her feet were tied, Padua Felice staggered and her face immediately came into close contact with the floor.

Seriously, it looks painful.

But without any mercy for her, Xiachuanhu grabbed her tail and pulled it a little harder.

“Meow~~~~~!”

A strange cry of pain and shyness suddenly rang out, and Padufils's face turned red and white. She struggled with her hands and feet for a few times, and shrank her neck at the same time: "Boss, please don't grab my tail, okay!"

"...Does it really hurt that much?"

"It hurts so much! It hurts just like when you men get kicked in the groin!"

Padofelice gave a very vivid description - but unfortunately, Xiachuanhu could not empathize with her at all. After all, his entire body was invulnerable to swords and guns, and even if a bullet was fired at that part, it would probably not break the skin.

But at least Padova is in real pain now.

"Sorry, how about I rub it for you?"

"Please don't do that!" Padufils begged, "Even if you want to touch it, please touch it gently!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Releasing his tail, Xia Chuanhu pointed at the bed and said, "Go sit on the bed first. I'll ask you something. If your answer satisfies me, I'll let you go. Anyway, you didn't take anything from me, did you?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Padufils nodded her head so much that it almost left an afterimage.

She really didn't find anything valuable from Xia Chuanhu. No cash, no gems, nothing that could be sold at a good price. If time could go back, Padufils would never step into this room. Not only did she not get a penny, she was also caught.

After watching her squirming and sitting on the bed, Xia Chuanhu asked his question directly: "Anyway, tell me who asked you to come, Padufils. As one of the thirteen heroes of the Fire Moth, even if you have no fighting power, you shouldn't be reduced to being a petty thief, right?"

(The ones that come to mind are probably Merry, or Mobius and Velvet. But I’m not the type to bring out important things, so this was a bad move by Merry.)

"Uh... Boss, what are you talking about?"

However, what surprised Xia Chuanhu was that Padufils blinked her eyes and asked back with a puzzled and doubtful look on her face: "Although my name is indeed Padufils, but that... uh... Fire Chaser Moth? Thirteen Heroes? What is that?"

"......you do not know?"

"Know what?" Padufils put on a pure look as if it had not been contaminated by knowledge.

(She doesn't know about the fire moth?)

Xia Chuanhu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his finger and poked Padofils on the forehead. A small magic trick was performed, allowing his spirit to directly invade the other party's consciousness.

And soon...

(Not lying? She really doesn’t know?)

In Padofelice's memory, there really was not a single thing related to the Fire Moth, but she looked exactly like the Ying Jie in her memory, and even had a tail on her body, a feature only possessed by fusion warriors. Logically, she should be a member of the Fire Moth who was rescued from the previous civilization era, just like Ying and Qianjie.

But in her memory, there was really no information related to the Fire Moth.

replaced by--

"Are you the man of destiny?"

"Destiny? Oh, you mean the organization that aids our nursing home? I seem to have registered as an employee there? But it was Nia's mother who asked me to register, and it's been several years, and I haven't been asked to do any work at all."

Padre Felice said.

"Boss, since you asked this, does that mean you are also from Heaven? Then we are colleagues, right?"

"So... well, for the sake of our being colleagues, boss, can you please let me go first? I promise I won't run away!"
