"That's probably what happened."
There were three people sitting around the table in the tavern room, namely Yi Liuling, Bob and Kate. After listening to him tell what happened, the atmosphere froze for a moment.
"So, that's it," Kate said immediately when she saw the situation. She was a little embarrassed. "I've heard about the special events held during Suojia High School's Opening Day, but this is the first time I've encountered it."
Kate does look very similar to Kirara, but if you look closely, you can still see some differences.
Ignoring differences such as Kirara's magic patterns or changes in hair color caused by pretending to be a drow, Kate has a larger frame and darker skin color because she has part of the blood of the Bear Eye tribe.
In addition to the difference in appearance, there are also many differences in the demeanor of the two. Kirara naturally has a sense of arrogance because of her own strength, but at the same time, she rarely really communicates with others, so her personality is actually quite simple. , although she tried her best to cover up this innocence through her own strength.
Kate, on the other hand, is more social. At first glance, she seems to be the type who has her own ideas. Although her behavior may seem informal, she should actually be very careful. Otherwise, with Misuna's inability to remember things, it would be impossible to describe him in too much detail, but Kate was able to recognize him at a glance, which shows that she is the type who won't let go of any details.
In addition, when Kate spoke, Yi Liuling discovered something else.
There is a big difference between their voices. Kirara's voice is more ethereal. As I said before, it is like running water. Even when she sometimes speaks sharply because of excitement, it is not harsh. This is probably related to her nature as a droplet creature, and her appearance is just a simulation, and has nothing to do with the actual vocal cord structure or resonance. The evidence is that when she is in slime form, her voice has no any changes.
In contrast, Kate's voice is softer, but with the support of her momentum, it does not appear to be weak. Instead, it is soft yet strong, making people realize that her good attitude also has a bottom line that cannot be compromised. .
"Even if that's the case, you can't open the door without knocking." Bob was obviously still worried about this matter. "Fortunately, I was here. If my daughter was taking a shower, it wouldn't be so easy to understand. ."
"Dad, I always lock the door when I take a shower." Kate felt helpless, "How long have you been doing this and you still haven't changed?"
"So," Yi Liuling confirmed again, "it is indeed my uncle I saw, right?"
"Hey, you can say this," Bob looked at Yi Liuling, "It seems that you really didn't pay much attention, so I'll just believe it was an accident."
Otherwise? He came all the way here just to peek at Kate taking a shower? Yi Liuling admired Bob's imagination very much.
However, Bob was a little different from what he imagined. Misuna had said before that Bob had the appearance of the Bear Eye tribe, very rugged, but in fact he was also a slender, fair, and tall type.
"Rough? Ah, that's right. When Misuna came here to play, I was quite busy and a little unkempt." Bob shrugged. "Later, when I was free, I shaved off my beard."
"But a beard can't change the overall appearance, right?" Yi Liuling could instantly see the body shape as a woman. Bob and ruggedness can't go together, right?
"You already have a beard and it's not rough?" Bob's eyes widened in shock, "I have a beard."
Yi Liuling understood that the elves' definition of the word rough was different from that of ordinary humans. But if he puts it this way, the elves he has seen are indeed thinner than others, and Bob's appearance is indeed relatively rough among the elves in all aspects.
Of course, rough does not mean ugly. For example, although Casper's facial features are as delicate as most elves (long eyelashes, small face, etc.), his usual appearance is not as good as Bob in front of him. After all, if Elle can match Kirara's level of good looks, Bob can't be too mean.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Kate had no intention of participating in the discussion between the two men about appearance. Instead, she waited until they finished talking before interjecting, "It would be too dangerous for you not to have your life tool with you. Otherwise, I will arrange it A carriage will go to the nearby teleportation array and then take you back?"
Generally, there are human teleportation arrays outside the towns where taverns are stationed, but the location of Kaguya Sai Tavern is mainly controlled by monsters, which is close to a neutral zone. The boss at the top is a well-known demon like Queen Lilith. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce did not set up many things here, even the only pub was this one.
If Yi Liuling planned to use the teleportation array to return to school, she would have to go to a nearby human town.
"That's not necessary," Yi Liuling raised the gold medal around her neck, "With this thing here, I can't use the teleportation array."
"Oh, is this the one-time return to the magic circle you are talking about?" Bob has been rooted here for many years, so he still has some knowledge. "Then you can stay here for a few days, and I can give you a discount on the room rate. "
If he says now that he has no money, will he be thrown out?
Kate seemed to see the poverty on Yi Liuling's face, and immediately said: "The room fee is not necessary, but since you are going to stay here for a while, classmate Yi, how about you come and give me a hand?"
"The people from Suojia High School are only good at fighting, but they are not necessarily very smart." Bob poured cold water on the side. "Are you planning to let him help you investigate that case?"
"Oh? What happened?" As soon as she heard about the case, Yi Liuling suddenly became energetic, "Don't look at me like this, I can actually be a detective."
"You know I'm from Kaguya Sai High School, right?" Kate ignored him and continued talking about herself, "There is a large bamboo forest of Kaguya Sai here in our school. Although they are ordinary low-level spiritual plants, they still count after all. The facade of our school will still be taken care of."
Yi Liuling nodded to express her understanding: "Could it be that Princess Kaguya's fruit was stolen?"
Kaguya will bear fruit in the early summer night when the moonlight is strong. The fruit will fall into the ground and take root, grow bamboo shoots, and eventually turn into a new Kaguya. As a bamboo itself, Kaguya doesn't have many outstanding features except for its ability to shine. The only thing that will be remembered is the fruit that is said to be able to maintain appearance.
"No, we also know that Kaguya's most precious thing is the fruit, so during this period, there will be a special guard to ensure that the fruit is not stolen." Kate said with a heavy expression, "Then, in order not to disturb The aura of the bamboo forest, when the fruiting period is over, our people will evacuate. There has been no problem for so many years, but I didn't expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Yi Liuling asked.
Kate's expression was a little weird, and she said every word: "Someone will take the bamboo shoots."
