Chapter 571

"Mei?! Why are you here?"

Mei: "I wanted to ask you that 【Senior】…"

"Missing for so long, and it turns out you were here… teasing a cat?!"

Raven smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Spare me, teasing a cat…"

"Being teased by a cat is more like it… if it weren't for it, how would I be trapped here and unable to get out?"

While speaking, Raven also noticed Miss Miss Paduo who was teasing the cat.

"Is this… your new friend?"

Mei nodded: "You could say that, met by chance on the road."

"Hello~" Miss Miss Paduo smiled at Raven: "I am Pardofelis, everyone usually doesn't call me by my full name, some call me Felis, some call me Miss Miss Paduo."

"Whatever you call me is fine, whatever you feel comfortable with."

Raven was a bit surprised: "Felis?! You are the owner of the Elysian Realm shop?"

"Yes~ the last of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Flame-Chaser with the 【weakest】 status and strength—Pardofelis of 【Reverie】—genuine and authentic~"

After Miss Miss Paduo finished her self-introduction, Mei spoke: "Alright, the person I'm looking for, and the… cat you are looking for, are both here."

"Can you think of a way to take us out of here?"

"This is simple~ after all, I'm a person who runs business, I have quite a few skills in wandering around." Miss Miss Paduo showed an honest smile: "However…"

"Hehe… strictly speaking, this is a trade secret, so… can I ask the two of you to close your eyes, cover your ears, don't look and don't listen?"

After saying this, Miss Miss Paduo quickly explained: "I don't distrust you! It's just… look, this craft I use to make a living, if it leaks out…"

This sounded like it made a lot of sense.

After Mei and Raven looked at each other, they believed Miss Miss Paduo and closed their vision and hearing.

Seeing this, Miss Miss Paduo said excitedly: "Alright, thank you for your trust!"

"Then next, without delay, Miss Miss Paduo's special service—"

With a sense of weightlessness, Mei and Raven finally returned to the lobby.

And Raven also told Mei about what she encountered along the way.

"A space like a prison… a mysterious woman…"

Mei thought for a while before asking again: "Raven, can you recall more details?"

Raven tried hard to think, and after a few seconds, she suddenly realized: "Right, she seems to have said something to me… and gave me something…"

"Ah—right!" While speaking, Raven felt around on her body, but after feeling for a long time, she didn't find the thing the woman gave her.

"……Eh? Where did the pendant she gave me go?"

"Pendant?"

"Hmm… however, it seems I lost it…" Raven was a bit distressed: "It was a golden pendant, with a blue sapphire of considerable size embedded on it."

"She said, it would help me bring the person she was waiting for to her—although I don't know what this means either."

Mei fell into thought.

"Perhaps, as long as we find that necklace, we will have a chance to visit that 【prison】 again."

"Hmm? Did you think of something??"

Mei nodded: "Not clear yet, but didn't we happen to know a friend who is very good at 【finding things】?"

"Although it's just some guesses, I feel… she might know where that pendant is right now."

Just after separating from Miss Miss Paduo, Mei entered the Elysian Realm again and found Miss Miss Paduo.

This plot made players feel… a bit strange.

At first, there was a problem in the Elysian Realm, then Raven went to investigate,

As a result, Raven disappeared, and another new Flame-Chaser was introduced—Aponia.

When players were looking forward to seeing Aponia, the cat appeared again.

Although the plot was a bit slow, it didn't make people feel bored at all.

After all, they were still very interested in the Flame-Chasers in the Elysian Realm.

Whether it was their appearance and personality, or their past stories, they were all very interested.

"Hi~ Sister Mei, you're here again! What do you plan to look at today?"

When Mei found Felis's shop in the Elysian Realm, Miss Miss Paduo happened to be in the shop.

"To tell you the truth, I just finished counting the stock in the shop, dug out some orphan items that were left over from a few years ago, and now I plan to sell them at a low price, you see if there is anything…"

Before Miss Miss Paduo finished speaking, Mei said playfully: "There is indeed something I am interested in among these—"

"That golden pendant, it's quite special."

Seeing this, players felt it was too coincidental.

The thing Raven accidentally lost just now, turned around and ran to Miss Miss Paduo's shop?

This plot arrangement… always makes people feel a bit too deliberate.

"¨ˇ Wow, Sister Mei, your eyes are too good? This pendant was one of the best-selling items back then, I struggled for a long time before keeping the last one~"

The cat is worthy of being a merchant, she has learned all the skills of selling melons and praising them.

But Mei didn't care about Miss Miss Paduo's flattery, her expression was even more playful.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, yes." Miss Miss Paduo introduced excitedly:

"Whether it's a Flame-Chaser or a successor, everyone has bought that kind of 【looks useless, but just feels inexplicably intimate】 thing, right? This is an eye-edge~"

Mei nodded: "Indeed, it is quite 【intimate】."

When saying the two words "intimate", Mei's tone was slightly raised, as if she was specifically emphasizing it.

"I just promised Raven recently that I would help her find the lost pendant—a golden one, with a blue sapphire embedded…"

Mei pointed to the pendant on Miss Miss Paduo's shelf: "Exactly the same as yours."

Miss Miss Paduo: "Uh…"

"Ah? This…"

She was a bit panicked in her heart, laughing awkwardly: "That… this… that's really a coincidence!"

"No… didn't expect… Sister Raven also likes such a pendant, haha… good eye! Good eye!"

Whoever voices this, it can be heard that Miss Miss Paduo is talking nonsense.

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she didn't dare to resist, and could only forcibly pretend to be indifferent.

Mei was also meaningful: "Hmm~ what a coincidence!"

Miss Miss Paduo: "…"

Seeing this, the players all reacted.

Feelings… this pendant wasn't picked up by Miss Miss Paduo unintentionally… it was stolen by her from Raven!!

After all, this panicked tone has completely proven it.

As for when it was stolen…

Except for having contact with Raven when sending Mei and Raven back to the lobby, Miss Miss Paduo had no other time to approach Raven.

【Hahaha…】

【《Craft of making a living》《Cannot leak》《Special service》】

【Caught red-handed hahaha…】

【Stealing things and asking people to close their eyes, this is too hilarious hahaha…】

……

The bullet comments were having a great time.

Even Kiana couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Originally, such a character who does petty theft would definitely not be likable.

But… Miss Miss Paduo's identity as a deceased Flame-Chaser, plus this cute personality and appearance, didn't make people feel disgusted at all.

On the contrary… it became one of her cute points.
