Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Although the man was thin, there was an unusual bulge on his back covered by his cloak...

There was no doubt that he wore the cloak to conceal the "something" on his back.

In addition to the covered body, the man's face was also half covered with a gray-green cloth, revealing only two cold eyes.

However, even though he had concealed his identity to this extent, the vicissitudes of life in this man's eyes still betrayed his age.

Just by looking at him, you can tell that he is definitely the best in his industry.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well, Master Liutang."

The man neither asked Shiiki Ruri to stand up nor showed any intention of helping her. He just walked to the side and sat on a wooden box.

One or two gray feathers fell where he walked, exactly the same as the feathers that Shiiki Ruri had just caught from the air.

"Thank you for your concern and care, Master. Everything is fine here, meow. I wonder what instructions you have for coming here in person today, meow?"

Shiiki Ruri still remained kneeling on one knee, feeling extremely panicked.

She was wondering, could it be that the head master knew that the Cat Girl Restaurant was about to go bankrupt?

If he were to hold me accountable, I, the new leader of Liutang, would probably lose my position.

——(Ugh… Master, I’m so sorry… I couldn’t protect the food stall you left behind, nya…)

Before being held accountable, Shiiki Ruri's heart had already begun to grieve. She had even made up her mind that no matter how she was punished, she would make sure the head master found a way to keep the Cat Girl Restaurant going.

As it turned out, the purpose of the headmaster's visit to Shiiki Ruri was not what she had guessed at all.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous. I just happened to be passing by and don't have any special instructions for you... Master Liutang, can you pour two glasses of water and sit down and talk?"

The head hall master patted the wooden box beside him and signaled Shiiki Ruri to stand up first. Only then did Shiiki Ruri's tense heart relax a little.

"Eh? O-okay, meow, Grand Master."

Shiiki Ruri was in disbelief at first, then overjoyed.

However, she hid all these emotions very well. From the outside, she just walked calmly to get the cup and pour water.

On the other side, the head hall master sitting on a wooden box was staring at Shiiki Ruri's back thoughtfully, until a butterfly flying from nowhere caught his sight and he looked away.

"It's already autumn, how come butterflies are still flying into this warehouse without a single flower...?"

The head hall master muttered to himself, but didn't think much about it.

After Shiiki Ruri brought over two glasses of water, the head hall master suddenly asked her to bring some more food. Shiiki Ruri was not too surprised to hear this, after all, this was Mel Town, which was famous for its delicious food.

·

After a few minutes, Shiiki Ruri was finally able to sit down and chat with the head master.

The head hall master first asked about the previous mission, and Shiiki Ruri answered fluently.

Whether it was the mission for the Cat Girl Restaurant or the mission for Teruya Ryuja, the highly ambitious Shiiki Ruri did not neglect any of them and was very dedicated.

As she was talking, Shiiki Ruri felt a little thirsty. She picked up the cup and was about to drink water, but subconsciously paused.

As the branch leader of the secret intelligence organization "Teruya Ryujaku", Shiiki Ruri's professional qualities can be said to have become a conditioned reflex.

Although the glass of water in her hand was poured by herself, the glass had left her sight while she was getting food. In other words, the glass of water was no longer "safe".

However, during the period when Shiiki Ruri was away for a short time, the head master was the only one in the warehouse. If Shiiki Ruri suspected that there was something wrong with the glass of water, it would be equivalent to suspecting the head master.

·

After a moment's hesitation, Shiiki Ruri chose to drink the water, because the head hall master was the person Shiiki Ruri's master trusted the most, and Shiiki Ruri believed in her master's vision and judgment.

"You are unqualified, Liutang Hall Master."

However, what Shiiki Ruri did not expect was that just after she drank the water, the head hall master suddenly shook his head.

The head master said that Shiiki Ruri drank the water like that, which was unprofessional as the head of the "Teruya Ryuja" branch.

"Master Liutang, even if you believe me, have you ever considered that this 'Head Master' before you could be an enemy in disguise? Or perhaps I've already been controlled by the enemy?"

The head hall master's series of questions immediately stumped Shiiki Ruri.

Yes, she was initially preoccupied with the problem of the Cat Girl Food Pavilion’s broken funding chain, and later she became too relaxed because she had “escaped a disaster”, which ultimately led her to drink the water with a fluke mentality.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Chief. I was indeed careless."

Shiiki Ruri immediately stood up and knelt on one knee again, but this time, the head hall master helped her up quickly.

"That's good to know. You actually have the ability, but you're still lacking experience. Just be more careful in the future."

The headmaster sighed after he finished speaking, then half-talked to himself and half-addressed Shiiki Ruri, "If Magae hadn't died so early, you wouldn't have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility at such a young age..."

Hearing this, Shiiki Ruri's mood also became sad. Master had indeed passed away too early. Shiiki Ruri still had many things to tell Master, and many delicious foods to share with Master...

It’s a pity that the dead cannot be resurrected.

"Ahem, sorry, let's change the subject, Liutang Hall Master. You haven't been back to the main hall for a long time, right? You should make time to go back and show your face when you have time."

The head master seemed to be sad and depressed about Master Shiiki Ruri's affairs, and forced Shiiki Ruri to talk about new things together.

Shiiki Ruri understood the chief's intention and tried to regain her spirits. She then told the chief that she had just returned to the "Spiral Underground Library", but unfortunately she did not find the information she wanted.

—(By the way, didn’t the octopus man say he needed the approval of the head hall master? Isn’t he just showing up on his own accord?)

Shiiki Ruri suddenly became happy! If the headmaster agreed to give her the authorization, then she would have a chance to get Grandpa Turman's five gold coins!

"Master, I would like to request permission to review the Dark Rabbit Clan's information. Please approve it."

Shiiki Ruri knelt down on one knee again anxiously. This was the third time she knelt down today.

The headmaster narrowed his eyes and looked at Shiiki Ruri for a moment before asking her...

"The Spiral Underground Library has been invaded by the enemy. Master Liutang, you, don't you know about this?"

9.167 - The Man Called Tetodaf

"Eh? The Spiral Underground Library was hacked, meow? Who hacked it? How did the enemy know its location?"

Shiiki Ruri widened her eyes in surprise. When she visited the Spiral Underground Library, it was safe and sound.

However, just as Shiiki Ruri was worried about the organization's information storage center, Tetodaf, the head master of "Teruya Ryuja", who was sitting across from her, was thinking about something else.

·

The fact that Tetoduff appeared in Mel Town today was not just a coincidence as he said.

As the elusive chief of the Zhaoye Liuque sect, whenever he sets out, he must have a complete plan.

Therefore, Tetodaf's visit to the main store of Cat Girl Restaurant was not only a special visit, but also an emergency trip.

After Tetodav received the information that the "Spiral Underground Library" had been attempted to be invaded and that "Ryudo Master Shiiki Ruri" was one of the main suspects, he immediately postponed or canceled his scheduled itinerary and rushed to Mel Town as soon as possible.

As a member of the Pteranodon sub-species, Tetodaff is born with the ability to fly to move quickly. In addition, there is a special passage called the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" between the Kingdom of West where Mel Town is located and the headquarters of "Zhu Ye Liuque", which allows Tetodaff to cross distances of thousands of kilometers at an incredible speed.

The reason why Tetodav was so anxious to find Shiiki Ruri was not only to confirm whether she was a traitor, but also because he had another unspeakable secret that forced him to come in person.

·

In order to confirm whether Shiiki Ruri had betrayed the organization, Tetodaf had actually been secretly observing Shiiki Ruri for a long time before showing up.

Fortunately, after observation, Tetodav felt a little relieved. At least for the time being, Shiiki Ruri did not seem to show any signs of betraying the organization.

As for whether this cat-man girl was really wronged, Tetodaf still had to use his "unique method" to verify it.

So, Tetodav waited patiently for the right opportunity and showed up when Shiiki Ruri was alone.

When he first appeared, he deliberately acted a little indifferent, testing whether Shiiki Ruri would lose her composure because of his arrival.

However, there was nothing unusual about Shiiki Ruri's behavior that was worth noting.

Afterwards, Tetodaf found an excuse to ask Shiiki Ruri to bring some water, then deliberately sent her away and added the "truth serum" into the water at an extremely fast speed.

·

The "truth serum" used by Tetoduff was made by the "Dark Rabbit Clan" that Shiiki Ruri wanted to know about. This potion is colorless and odorless, and it takes only two or three seconds to take effect after being taken.

After it takes effect, the user will be unable to lie, and everything he says will be his true thoughts and ideas.

Tetodav staged a play to force Shiiki Ruri to drink the potion without any precautions. After she drank it, Tetodav only needed to ask her whether she had betrayed the organization.

·

Just now, Tetodav directly asked Shiiki Ruri about the "invasion of the Spiral Underground Library", and judging from Shiiki Ruri's reaction, she was obviously unaware of it.

Tetodav was very satisfied with this result. If Shiiki Ruri really betrayed the organization, he would have no choice but to implement "that plan" earlier.

——(Thank you so much, Magee...)

——(You not only dedicated your life to the organization, but also left such a good successor to "Ryudo"...)

——(After my plan is completed, I will take good care of Xiao Liuli's body.)

·

Tetodav just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but on the surface, he showed nothing.

As the head hall master, Tetodaf frowned and gave Shiiki Ruri a proper lesson for her dereliction of duty, scolding her for how she, the head of a branch hall, could not even know such an urgent and important matter.

Then, Tetodav gave orders and assigned tasks to Shiiki Ruri, asking her to thoroughly investigate the internal situation of Ryudo, and immediately control any suspicious personnel and escort them to the headquarters for disposal.

Finally, regarding Shiiki Ruri's request, Tetoduff temporarily suspended her approval, citing the "Spiral Underground Library has been invaded." If anyone wants to access information on the "Dark Rabbit Clan," they'll have to wait until the invasion is over.

But in reality, even if there had been no invasion, even if everything had returned to calm, Totodaff would never have allowed Shiiki Ruri to read the information about the Dark Rabbit Clan.

For Tetoduff, the Dark Rabbit Clan is his most important partner.

As for the "Spiral Underground Library" that was invaded this time, although Tetodaf felt sad, the degree of sadness was only mild.

Tetodav had a premonition that this intelligence center, which was maintained purely by the loyalty of its internal personnel, might soon collapse, so he took advantage of this invasion to start anew.

Back to the point, Tetodav, with his superb acting skills, completely kept Shiiki Ruri in the dark. Until he was about to leave, Shiiki Ruri still looked like a subordinate who had made a mistake, cautious and trembling.

"Master Liutang, you should correct your mistakes and make meritorious contributions while you are guilty. You should continue to do what you should do. Don't let down Magai's trust in you. Do you understand?"

Tetodav knew very well how to PUA his subordinates. After using the stick, he gave the carrot to help Shiiki Ruri cheer up again.

Then, just as he expected, Shiiki Ruri's face lit up and he became full of energy as soon as he heard the name of the previous Ryudo master, Magai.

"Got it, Master Chief, thank you for giving me this opportunity, meow!"

"Well, I'm glad to know. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Tetodav left Mel Town.

Just as he arrived silently, he left without being noticed either...

Except for the flying butterfly.

Jiang Ran hid in the shadow of the butterfly, and watched the conversation between Shiiki Ruri and the so-called "Head Master Tetodaf" in secret without any ripples in his heart.

The reaction of the stupid loli was completely different from Jiang Ran's. This girl couldn't stand the fact that Shiiki Ruri was being schemed against by that old winged man, and she almost made a scene during the whole process.

(Stupid Loli: Too, too, too disgusting! How could the headmaster of "Zhao Ye Liu Que" be such a disgusting guy! Jiang Yan, go and mess with him!)

(Jiang Ran: Stop arguing, stupid Lolita. If you keep arguing, I will never talk to you again.)

Jiang Ran couldn't stand the noise from the stupid loli any more, so he had to use this "ultimate move", and finally succeeded in threatening her soft spot, making her shut her mouth in anger, and giving Jiang Ran peace and quiet again.

The reason why Jiang Ran was so calm was that firstly, he did not regard Shiiki Ruri as a target, and secondly, he did not empathize with Shiiki Ruri.

In his opinion, the scene that just happened had nothing to do with him directly, but the reason he watched the whole thing was because he thought it was "profitable".

9.168 - Considering the situation

Thanks to the effect of the "Shadow Master" skill, Jiang Ran was always observing and listening at close range during the entire conversation between Shiiki Ruri and the head master, Tetodaf, and was completely unnoticed.

Tetodav said at the beginning that he did not come here on purpose, but just happened to pass by. After hearing this, Jiang Ran immediately began to suspect that Tetodav was not telling the truth.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, the "Spiral Underground Library" had just been invaded not long ago, and it should take some time for the news to spread.

However, the head master, whose whereabouts were unknown, appeared at an extremely astonishing speed, so fast that Shiiki Ruri himself had not even heard the news of the invasion of the Spiral Underground Library.

Could it be just a coincidence that the chief hall master, Tetodaf, “just happened to pass by”?

Jiang Ran was full of suspicion from the very beginning, and this was the main reason why he listened to the entire conversation between the two.
