"Why are you bundled up so tight?" Blair glanced at Fisher standing next to him and said, "The Phoenix Knights are only interested in Alagina. You really don’t have to worry about being targeted... unless, of course, Helena doesn’t know you’re Alagina’s man. If she knew, she probably wouldn’t mind getting a taste of her brother-in-law, the kind that plays you to death..."
On the street, Blair glanced at Fisher and spoke thus.
But the person mainly concerned didn’t respond; instead, the book perched on his shoulder, which kept blinking at him, did.
"Don’t mind him; he’s worried about another emotional debt, a type a thousand tis more terrifying than Alagina."
"..."
Hearing this, Blair and Alinur standing next to him couldn’t help but take another curious glance at Fisher, who was draped in Ossie’s cloak.
Ossie had left directly, so the personal cloak he had taken off and left behind was now in Fisher’s keeping. To avoid exposing himself as a wanted criminal from Nali, he had also taken to wearing the cloak like Ossie, pulling the collar high to cover his face.
It seed Ossie washed the cloak often as it carried no particular scent, only a fresh woody fragrance; it made him wonder what they used to wash clothes at sea.
After Ossie’s departure, Fisher didn’t stay in the room with Blair and the others but went with them back to their hideout, the Cloud Peak Cafe.
According to them, they had been hiding there for nearly a month. They had originally planned to intercept the goods from the middleman before Nali arrived, but to their dismay, as soon as the goods hit the shore, the Nali Exploration Company arrived.
They were walking towards the Cloud Peak Cafe while chatting and Alinur checked if anyone was watching them, but it seed there was no one.
Previously ntioned, the Cloud Peak Cafe wasn’t far from the hotel Alagina had booked, about half a street’s distance, so this cafe certainly wasn’t a place that offered high-end services. Moreover, since they had only rented this place a month ago, the interior left much to be desired.
As Fisher approached the entrance, he saw the inside was decorated quite sparsely, rely so tables, chairs, and a counter for orders — even less than the open-air coffee he and Rafael had drunk back in Philone City on the South Continent.
The simplistic environnt, along with being run by a demi-human, ant that not many people probably visited this cafe to drink coffee, so it was quite empty when Fisher arrived.
But even so, the mont he pushed open the door, he imdiately heard a cute and enthusiastic welco,
"Welco to the Cloud Peak Cafe, what would you like... hey, is that you?"
Yes, facing Fisher was the Cloud Cat Species Maid he had seen buying bread in the street that morning. She quickly recognized Fisher, whom she had seen before, repeatedly looking at him and then at Blair, who had just entered and was covering his tail.
"Bro, weren’t you supposed to talk with Alagina? Why have you brought him back? Wait, what happened to your tail?"
"Cough, let’s not talk about my tail... There’s been a change, Alagina wasn’t in her room, she went out... Fuck, who knows when she’ll be back. Her Second Officer has already gone to find her, by the way, move the rest of the surveillance gear to Alagina’s side too, just in case Helena turns up and we need to take action."
"Awooo, I’m on it."
Aileen turned and left. Alinur, whose clothes were all tattered due to Fisher’s grip, also ran upstairs in the cafe, clutching her body. Blair then went to the back of the counter, where instead of a coffee nu, a detailed map of Patulshen Island lay.
Fisher leaned by a table inside the cafe, listening to their conversation while he took out the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual from his pocket. Sensing the presence of Cloud Cat Species, golden letters started appearing on it,
[Cloud Cat Species]
Anyway, while the chance is rare, let’s just bind this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity for research on the Snow Mountain Clan.
[Please select a research subject, available subject count 0/1]
[Alinur, Adult Female Cloud Cat Species]
[Aileen, Adult Female Cloud Cat Species]
[Bessie, Adult Female Cloud Cat Species]
Huh?
Is there another cat in this cafe?
Fisher glanced upstairs at the Cloud Peak Cafe. The Demi-human Girls Completion Manual could only detect demi-human girls and was blind to male demi-humans, so he couldn’t determine how many Cloud Cats there were here.
Binding one Cloud Cat Species now was mainly to complete the Snow Mountain Clan series. As for biological research and such, he could talk about it when the opportunity arose. Even if they were unwilling, Fisher wouldn’t lose out since he had Emhardt, and he could still receive the 20% stage reward for societal research.
With this in mind, Fisher casually chose to bind the Cloud Cat Species Alinur. As a familiar pain shot through his body, several detailed tags suddenly appeared next to Cloud Cat Species on the Completion Manual,
[Northern Realm Species], [Beast Species], [Cotton Candy], [Snow Mountain Clan]
[Cotton Candy: Their soft white fur is a heaven-sent gift; rely touching it brings joy—hang on, what are you waiting for, why aren’t you collecting these adorable demi-humans already?]
