— Not knowing the cat’s thoughts, Jiang Qiao was in a very good mood.
The goal of coming to Twilight Street this ti was half accomplished.
Although the cat wasn’t the person he ntioned who could be helpful, with the cat’s current abilities, she could only be considered an errand runner at Fire Moth.
But just because she was the cat, Jiang Qiao, currently acting as 【Elysia】, wouldn’t leave Pardofelis to continue staying in Twilight Street.
After all, the environnt here was really not very good. The cat was basically living with her head on the chopping block here, she could even see Pardofelis’s wanted posters on the streets.
Under the influence of the new Herrscher of Domination, this situation would only beco increasingly severe over ti.
Being able to capture the cat before finding Aponia was quite a good on.
Jiang Qiao, bringing the cat with him, returned to Smailo’s hardware store.
It seed they had already finished talking.
“Little Pardofelis?”
Smailo saw the girl behind Jiang Qiao who was covering her appearance with a hood and imdiately recognized her identity, instantly understanding and sighing:
“I see, the most famous pickpocket in Twilight Street is indeed this child.”
“Young lady, could you let her off the hook?”
“Although little Pardofelis is a pickpocket, she’s a rare good child in Twilight Street.”
Having the reputation of a ‘righteous thief’ among the lower-class residents, many Twilight Street residents who had been helped had good feelings toward this little one. Although Smailo wasn’t the type who had been aided, as one of the few clear streams in Twilight Street, he also quite liked this little girl.
Knowing that Pardofelis had stolen Jiang Qiao’s things, he wanted to put in a good word for her.
Pardofelis was obviously very familiar with this hardware store uncle who mixed around in Twilight Street, cheerfully saying:
“Hey, Uncle Smailo, don’t worry about it. Sister Elysia is so good to , and now I’m sticking with her!”
“I see, that’s really great.”
“Twilight Street has been getting more and more chaotic lately. Leaving this place early is also a good thing.”
Smailo nodded with so relief, then sighed: “That child Vill-V has already told about it.”
“You want to find that sanatorium, right?”
“Mm, the person I’m looking for is called ‘Aponia.'”
After hearing Jiang Qiao’s target, the cat was sowhat surprised:
“Eh, so Sister Elysia, you wanted to find her…”
Actually, Aponia’s private sanatorium was one of her poverty relief targets. After robbing the rich to help the poor, she would often secretly deliver so dry food and other supplies to the sanatorium’s storage room.
She had little contact with that caretaker lady, or rather, deliberately avoided contact with her. Although Aponia seed quite gentle, for a child like Pardofelis who grew up like a wild cat, she was quite intimidating.
If caught by her, she’d be lectured for at least half the day. Having had related experiences, the cat still had psychological trauma when thinking about Aponia.
“I don’t know much about that sanatorium either, but recently that sanatorium’s situation doesn’t seem very good… You can try to learn the specifics from little Pardofelis here. Hehe, she’s also the most well-inford person in our Twilight Street who knows this place best.”
“Mm-hmm, leave it to ~ I might not be good at other things, but when it cos to knowing Twilight Street, no one knows it better than .”
Having said that, the cat grinned and said:
“Ah, Sister Elysia, you should have said earlier that you wanted to find the sanatorium. This kind of thing is what I’m best at.”
“I’ll lead the way. Mm… it’s better not to take the main road.”
Leaving the hardware store, Pardofelis, walking in front, volunteered to lead while muttering quietly.
“Why?”
“Twilight Street has been more chaotic than before recently. I don’t know what’s going on, but so of those small-ti thugs who used to be relatively quiet have started openly blocking Mud Road to attack people, making everyone in Twilight Street feel anxious.”
“Is it related to the sanatorium?” Jiang Qiao keenly sensed sothing.
“It seems to be sowhat related. So people say it’s because that sanatorium has been taking in patients randomly, bringing epidemics from outside… Ah, I say this must be those bad guys from the rich district causing trouble again. What epidemic? I go to that sanatorium often and I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?”
Following behind the nonchalant cat, the pink girl frowned slightly.
He rembered that Aponia often had a knack for turning good intentions into blunders.
Actually, on the way to Twilight Street, Jiang Qiao had also encountered so individuals carrying particles from the Herrscher of Domination, but after arriving at Twilight Street, this proportion was obviously higher.
Jiang Qiao originally thought it was due to the atmosphere in Twilight Town, but through what Pardofelis said…
Putting aside his thoughts, the girl casually said:
“Speaking of which, shouldn’t small paths be more dangerous?”
“That’s true, but the small paths I’m talking about are actually known by very few locals. Don’t worry, these are all routes I secretly explored when doing business here. I’ve used these to avoid many rounds of pursuit by those bad guys.”
Speaking with so pride, Pardofelis climbed up an extrely run-down ladder. “Keep up with , Sister Elysia.”
— Indeed, very few people would know about such passages. After all, what the cat called ‘small paths’ were completely various holes and rooftops connected together. It was hard to call this a conventional ‘road’ — if anything, it was more like paths that cats would take.
However, the advantages were real, such as being sufficiently hidden.
Following Pardofelis, Jiang Qiao felt like he was playing so stealth ga.
…Mm, it felt like it would actually be faster to just take the main road.
But it was indeed quite a novel experience.
The only downside might be… there was really a lot of dust.
“Cough cough~” The pink girl coughed while brushing off the dust. As a green glow flowed across the surface of the incomplete green ring on her finger, those choking particles gradually disappeared in the embrace of a gentle breeze.
Finally, after following the cat over several buildings and through several rooftops, Jiang Qiao finally heard so good news:
“Alright, Sister Elysia, we’re here.”
At Pardofelis’s indication, he saw the destination of this trip — Aponia’s sanatorium.
Needless to say, it was as run-down as the rest of Twilight Street, but it looked quite simple and clean, clearly showing that soone regularly cleaned it.
“Many holess children and patients in Twilight Street are taken in by Sister Aponia at the sanatorium. Although I don’t really want to get close to her, Sister Aponia is indeed a rare good person. She’s just a bit wasteful. Food is sothing quite precious in Twilight Street, but every ti I co here when I haven’t had any harvest, hoping to find so leftover food to fill my stomach, I can always see leftover food. Hehe~ it tastes pretty good too.”
