About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Jingzhe whispered as he rubbed Orson's head.

"I've always believed that to judge justice and evil, one only needs eyes and a mind that can distinguish right from wrong. And I thought that if I could handle work documents well, I would naturally be able to handle the complicated trivialities of life in an orderly manner. But in the end, I made a complete mess..."

Jingzhe looked at the Dali Temple ID card hanging on his chest, then looked at the "assistant certificate" he had given to Orsen on his neck, and sighed softly.

"It's not Jingzhe's fault. I used to think all I needed to be an idol was a cute face and a good voice, but after meeting some people, I realized there are so many things I need to master."

Orson comforted Jingzhe, who was a little depressed, and at the same time recalled the figures of Ino and Kong in his mind.

After interacting with these two real idols, Orson realized that for an idol, voice and face are just the entry level. A qualified idol must also be proficient in command, tracking and counter-tracking, breath concealment, position building, psychology, negotiation art, hostage rescue and other techniques.

"Sister Jingzhe is just not very familiar with this aspect. With your powerful ability at work, Sister Jingzhe will definitely be able to do it easily, puff ...

Orson was halfway through his speech when his "sister" kneaded his face like dough.

"It would be great if you were really my brother, Orson. But Elafia and Qilin look similar anyway. I can just find someone to alter their ID and stuff it into the household registration without any problem..."

In Jingzhe's eyes, Orson seemed to be an Elafia (deer) who had some similarities in appearance to the Qilin clan.

"I always feel that you are thinking about something very bad... Sister Jingzhe?"

Orson pulled his head out of Jingzhe's electromagnetic therapy massage and complained in a low voice.

"Ugh! Ahem, I was just joking. Don't take it to heart, Orson! Although our operation failed this time due to the suspect's suicide, it means we've touched upon the core area of these people. I've also got some clues from them, so we should be able to find information about the others soon. Let's prepare for the next mission, 'Assistant Orson.'"

"Roger that, Commander Jingzhe!"

Orsen immediately nodded to Jingzhe to indicate that he was ready at any time. Seeing how cooperative the other party was, Jingzhe couldn't help but smile.

"Then if you're alright, I'll leave first, Sister Jingzhe?"

"Wait a minute, Orson—"

When Orson was about to leave the room, Jingzhe reached out from behind and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"...Although I may be nothing more than a 'special burden' in Longmen now, I will work hard to learn, whether it's the lifestyle of a modern city-state citizen or the process technology of living alone. Next time, I will definitely not rely on my 'brother' for help like today. When we meet next time, you can rely on me, your 'adopted sister', to your heart's content, Orson!"

Jingzhe looked at Orson and spoke in a firm tone.

After all, no matter what Orsen thinks, what happened during this period was really "humiliating" for Jingzhe herself. She might be a genius inspector who would never misjudge any case within the Dali Temple, but after leaving her original circle of life, she became a somewhat "naive" life idiot. Even though this was her first time to carry out an independent overseas mission, Jingzhe could not accept this gap in any way.

"Well, come on, Sister Jingzhe!"

Orsen felt Jingzhe's obsession. It seemed that this "adopted sister" was not just talking about this identity, she really wanted to do something for herself.

"Besides... no, nothing more. Be careful on the road."

Jingzhe originally wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she hesitated for a moment and shook her head, signaling Orsen to be careful when leaving.

After seeing Orsen's small figure leave his sight, Jingzhe looked at the "task items" on the table with a complicated expression.

[Searching for the successor of the 'Doctor'] - This task was not originally on Jingzhe's list this time, but was an additional task issued by the top leaders of Yan State to all field inspection departments. However, it was also the highest priority among all tasks.

If anyone finds out about the "Doctor's Successor", they can directly stop the originally assigned task.

Jingzhe's memory of the 'Doctor' was very vague. She could only vaguely remember that when she had just started learning thunder magic, a girl who called herself the 'Doctor' appeared.

The 'Doctor' seemed to have said something to me when I was still a child, and helped me with my homework, but I ended up getting scolded because I made more mistakes than usual.

Jingzhe knew very well that when Orson was unconscious for unknown reasons (referring to being drunk), the pattern he saw on the ring in Orson's clothes was also seen on the "Doctor".

If nothing unexpected happens, this young man is definitely related to the 'Doctor', and there is a high probability that he is the "successor" mentioned by the top leaders of Yan State.

Although Jingzhe himself never felt it, the information Jingzhe obtained showed that the "Doctor" had made great contributions to Yan Country.

The existence of the "Doctor" helped Yan State overcome a crisis that could not be disclosed to the outside world. It is said that it was a crisis that was enough to shake the foundation of Yan State.

Later, the doctor left Yan Country. When the top leaders received relevant information again, it was a notice of the doctor's death in Chernobog, Ursus.

As long as the doctor's 'successor' can be found, Yan State will be able to get a strong boost in its future development - for Jingzhe of the Dali Temple, this is enough for her to devote all her efforts to this task 'for the people of Yan State'.

Now Jingzhe has found clues about the "successor" in Orson, but Jingzhe seems very hesitant. Because the mission requirements she received clearly stated that if she found any clues about the doctor's successor, she must bring them to Yan Country no matter whether the other party has such intentions or not.

"..."

Jingzhe was a little hesitant. Although Orson had met this condition, it was obvious that the young man had his own things to deal with, and he would never follow him to Yan Country easily.

Moreover, there must be many people around him who are eyeing this young man. If he really wants to take his "brother" back to his hometown... it will surely be a fierce battle.

Jingzhe was thinking seriously, completely unaware that his goal had unknowingly changed from "seizing the doctoral heir" to "taking Orson back home."

----------

"That's so slow, Orson."

"Sorry... I had a brief chat with Sister Jingzhe."

After sending Jingzhe home safely, Orsen returned to the car. Senior Superintendent Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, complained in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

Before, after Orsen Jingzhe, Lin Yuxia and Chen Huijie came out of the "Panda Shaoxiang Restaurant", Chen first used some words to trick the little mouse back home, and then he got into the car driven by Orsen without saying a word.

"I always thought that what Exiah said was a joke. I didn't expect you actually have a foster sister. If I had known, I would have brought some gifts... cough cough cough, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Huijie coughed twice to try to cover up his obvious intention of bribery, and then looked at Orson with his red eyes.

"Let's not talk about Miss Jingzhe for now. Let's just find a place to sit down. Staying in a neighborhood like this for too long will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I saw the navigation shows there's a coffee shop nearby, so let's go there."

Chen said to Orson while consciously or unconsciously checking whether his hair was free of clumps.

"Is it about the 'mob'?"

Orson didn't ask any more questions and started the car and drove towards the coffee shop where Chen Suizhi pointed.

"Ah, I didn't get to tell you because Xingxiong dragged you out that day... By the way, did Xingxiong do anything strange to you? I was too busy before and didn't have time to ask you."

Chen asked quietly, his tone a little unhappy.

Of course, if Police Officer Chen knew that during the time he had no contact with Orson, Orson was dragged around by Star Bear, Mostima, Lappland, and Texas in turn, he would probably be even more upset.

"Ghost Sister is very nice to me. Hehehe, I feel very safe being Ghost Sister's little brother!"

Orson ruffled his hair and smiled in response, but Chen frowned at Orson's smile.

"Don't I feel that way?"

"What does it feel like?"

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. Seriously, why are I mad at that Xingxiong guy..."

Chen closed his eyes and sighed. He had no reason to be angry with Xingxiong. Even if he took a step back, Orson was the man his sister Talulah liked, so he had no reason to get involved.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. I've already sent people to investigate the mysterious assassin you encountered that day."

"assassin……"

Orson vaguely remembered that the enemy he encountered that day, who was wearing a black straw raincoat, did not seem to be a force outside Longmen, but his memory only stopped there and he could not recall more details.

"We're here. Anyway, let's take advantage of today to discuss what's next—"

Chen got out of the car and opened the door while talking, but the next second:

"Welcome back, Master~~"

As soon as Chen Gang stepped into the 'coffee shop', several young girls dressed as maids immediately surrounded him and greeted the two of them with cute voices.

"Eh? What's going on..."

Chen, a veteran, was stunned for a moment. She had seen situations where the other party would yell "Don't come over here, or we'll all die together" after the door was pushed open, but she had never seen a scene like this where someone was called "Master" after the door was pushed open.

As for Orson, he took a step back and came to the door of the store and looked up at the sign. Although this was indeed the "coffee shop" that Chen mentioned, to be more precise, it was actually a "maid cafe".

"Master, would you like to eat first, take a shower first, or...eat me first~?"

The maids attacked Chen, who was confused, without any reservation and without discrimination.

"Wow... W-What's going on, Orson?"

Chen, whose female strength was comparable to Tallulah's, was a little overwhelmed by this situation. She could only turn around and ask Orson what was going on.

"This is a maid cafe, Officer Chen. While it functions similarly to a coffee shop, its services are slightly more extensive."

Orson shrugged and explained that he had come into contact with this thing a lot when he was in Casimir.

...There is even a dark history that I don’t want to look back on.

"Is that so? Then let's go to another place—"

"Congratulations! You two are so lucky to be the 10000th customer since our cafe opened! Please allow us to present you with this thoughtful gift—a maid outfit meticulously designed by a renowned Casimir fashion designer and maid play enthusiast! Not only is this outfit made of the finest materials, it's also inspired by the latest trends in Casimir, the fashion capital!"

"Uh...what?"

Chen, who was about to leave the store, was suddenly dragged into the coffee shop by an older woman who looked like the store manager. At the same time, she took out a maid outfit that looked very expensive and exquisite.

"Want to try it now, Officer Chen? I never thought that the lucky customer of our shop would be Miss Chen Huijie, Senior Superintendent of the Imperial Guard Bureau. This must be the arrangement of the Maid God!"

"I don't think there are such gods on Terra... Uwa..."

"Would you like to try it on right now, Officer Chen? If there's anything that doesn't fit, we'll make changes right away!"

"Calm down for a moment..."

Chen Huijie wanted to step back with an embarrassed look on her face, but the store manager still kept coming closer with the maid outfit in his hand.

—Now isn't the time to play maid house, but judging by the situation, I can't just fool her...

Chen just wanted to find a place to discuss their next steps with Orson, but he couldn't just brush off such a "lucky" situation...

If that's the case, then there is only one answer!

After a few seconds of thought, Chen made his decision.

"Give it to him and let him wear it."

Chen pointed at Orson behind him without hesitation.

"Haha, I won't tell Tallulah... huh?"

Orson, who was watching the show with gloating just a second ago, suddenly found himself as a target.

"Wait a minute... I'm a man, that's definitely not possible, right?"

Orson whispered to the store manager, whose gaze had shifted to him.

"Well--"

The store manager and other maids stared at Orson for a few seconds, then—

"Isn't this better?"

"Not good at all, right!?"

Passed unanimously.

59. 'Victoria Princess Maid' / Dragon Gate Guards Maid

"Wait a minute, this is weird no matter how you think about it...!? Officer Chen, Mr. Chen!!"

"The organization will not forget your sacrifice, Orson."

After the sudden incident of "10000 lucky customers giving gifts", Senior Superintendent Chen Huijie, who had witnessed countless critical moments, sold out his little follower Orson without thinking.

If it were an ordinary person, such an unreasonable request as "letting a man wear a maid outfit" would definitely not be approved. However, after taking a quick look at Orsen, the maid cafe manager immediately agreed to the request and dragged Orsen to the backstage of the cafe.

The other maids realized that there was something fun to be had, so they immediately followed Orson over, and a group of people escorted Orson in in a mighty manner.

"Don't blame me, Orson. Who goes to a coffee shop without a helmet? I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to be a good person..."

Chen Huijie watched Orson being carried away and looking for help in panic, gritted her teeth and turned away, while looking for reasons to excuse herself.

At first, Chen could still hear sporadic laughter from the maids backstage, but soon this booing laughter disappeared, replaced by silence and extremely subtle exclamations.

Not long after, Orson's voice came from backstage.

"Wait, wait a minute...are you really going to come out? This isn't good...!"

Click!

The door to the backstage work area was opened again, and several 'maid ladies' first walked out of the room subtly, and then the 'head maid' (store manager) reached out and pulled Orson out from the backstage.

"How does it feel, oh—"
