Several people sat around the table, enjoying the hearty breakfast and chatting happily.

As they talked, Paimon turned the topic back to Walnut.

"Haven't you noticed that something's wrong with Kurumi recently? She goes out early and comes back late every day. Even if we run into her on the street, she doesn't greet us as openly as before."

There was a hint of doubt and deep worry in Paimon's words.

But even Paimon noticed that Walnut was abnormal, so how could everyone here not know?

Precisely because they knew and guessed something, they were not very worried.

Only Paimon hadn't realized what had happened and looked worried.

Hearing Paimon's words, Mingyu couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion: "Who is Kurumi?"

He felt somewhat familiar with the name, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Although he received the memory of Yan, Yan's memory was too long, covering past and present lives as well as the years of wandering after the deletion of the World Tree.

So many memories flooded into his mind at once that he still hasn't been able to sort them out completely.

However, Mingyu did not care about these trivial memories, he only remembered some impressive events.

"Oh, that's right. Mingyu doesn't know yet."

Paimon patted his little head and began to tell Mingyu about Kurumi.

Mingyu listened carefully to Paimon's words, and some vague impressions gradually emerged in his mind.

As Paimon described, a girl wearing a brown cheongsam, with a mischievous smile on her face and a quirky personality appeared in his mind.

Oh, it's her.

Mingyu understood.

"Then after dinner, let's go and see what our friend is doing!" Wendy suggested.

"Okay, we were going to go see what Kurumi is up to today anyway," Sora replied with a smile.

In a small hotel, Walnut was lifting several heavy boxes with great effort, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Although she possesses the Divine Eye and impressive strength, she is only a teenage girl after all and her power is limited.

At this moment, Hu Tao was not wearing the cheongsam specially made by Wangshengtang as usual, but instead changed into a set of white work clothes.

However, due to long hours of work, her work clothes had long been covered with dust and became dirty, and some parts were even soaked with sweat.

In fact, Kurumi once considered giving up this job. After all, the Hall of Rebirth didn't lack Moras, so she didn't have to work so hard.

However, whenever she thought of the recent events, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

"I must do something for them!"

Walnut made up his mind secretly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the box in her hand was much lighter.

Walnut didn't think much about it. She quickly picked up the box and walked quickly to the second floor.

After Hu Tao's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Yan and his group gradually appeared.

The hotel owner, who was sitting behind the table wiping dishes, was startled by the sudden appearance of several people and did not even notice that the plate in his hand fell onto the table in front of him.

The rag in his right hand was still waving in the air, as if he was wiping the air.

"Oh, your ability is really useful, but it tends to scare people."

Wendy said with a chuckle as she looked at the startled innkeeper.

They have actually been here for some time, but they have not appeared and have been observing in secret.

Just now, Walnut felt that the boxes were a lot lighter. That was exactly what Wendy did. He used the wind to gently lift up the boxes, making Walnut feel a lot more relaxed.

Sora and Paimon walked up to the innkeeper, who tapped the tabletop lightly with his hand.

The hotel owner recovered from his shock after hearing the voice and looked at the blond boy in front of him and the... unidentified floating object next to him?

"Guest, do you have any needs? Just ask. As long as the store has it, we will definitely provide it for you."

He quickly stood up and put the rag in his hand on the table with a flattering smile on his face.

The people in front of him were obviously not simple people, so he thought he should be tactful and not annoy them.

"Well, we want to ask you about the girl who just walked upstairs."

Paimon flew aside, looked at the innkeeper with wide eyes and asked.

"Um...what do you want to see her about?" the hotel owner asked cautiously.

"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'm just asking casually."

As he spoke, he kept muttering in his mind: Did the girl commit a crime? It doesn't look like it.

After spending a few days together, he got to know the quirky girl a little.

She always looks innocent, making people want to play a trick on her; but at the same time, she is very smart and occasionally does something unexpected.

In general, this is a kind and lovely child. Although he is a little naughty, he doesn't believe that he would do anything harmful.

"It's like this, don't be nervous. We are friends of that girl, and we came here to ask you about her."

"Because she's been acting strange lately, we're worried something's happened to her."

Wendy came over with a gentle smile on her face.

His voice is very light and soft, just like the big brother next door, giving people a warm feeling.

Perhaps Wendy's comfort worked, and the hotel owner's expression relaxed.

"So they are Kurumi's friends."

"Yes, can you tell us about Kurumi?"

"of course can."

The innkeeper nodded and said.

"The girl named Hu Tao came to my place a few days ago. She asked me if I had any work for her, the kind that would be paid by the day."

"I was puzzled. She was wearing a brown cheongsam and a matching hat. Although I don't understand Liyue's culture, I think it shouldn't be cheap. Someone who can wear such expensive clothes doesn't look like someone who would be short of Mora."

"Because she was young, I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't resist her request and had to agree to let her do some light work."

"So that's how it is. Thank you, boss." Wendy thanked.

"Nothing, just some small things. I didn't say any useful information. By the way, do you need me to call Walnut down?" said the innkeeper.

"No, we'll leave now and won't bother you any more." Wendy said with a smile, "By the way, please keep our presence here a secret, boss."

"No problem, I will keep it a secret for you guys."

The hotel owner nodded in agreement.
