Paddy didn't understand why another smaller version of Alice was reacting so strongly. Her face flushed slightly, and she whispered:
"Um... if it's Ellie-nee, actually..."
"Hmph, don't try to seduce my reliable self with your meager tack!"
Fairy Airi immediately turned her head, pouted, and began to mercilessly criticize the cat!
And this directly caused the cat to turn gray.
...The barren navel was fine, but Pado didn't care much about her figure. After all, she was a homeless child from Twilight Street who didn't know where her next meal would come from. How could she be so extravagant as to pour her nutrition into those useless fat lumps?
In addition, given her young age, she felt that as long as she received proper nutrition, she might have a promising future.
Is it really possible for someone to only grow older but not physically taller?
Temptation... Where does this idea come from?!
I don't understand cats, I don't understand at all!
At this moment, Pado's eyes suddenly lit up with circles, it looked like her CPU had probably burned out.

Chapter 172 'Bronya', Launch!
"Hey, going to Europe?"
The 'strange request' naturally fizzled out due to the fairy Ellie's strong protest, and the bottle of Mother's Drowning Spring was given to Pado by Jiang Qiao—the cat was very happy about this, but she also knew the purpose of 'Alice's' visit to her and expressed a moment of surprise.
"Why...why are you looking for us to go there?"
"Sister Aili, don't misunderstand. If there's really something that needs our help, we'll definitely do it without hesitation. But... you know us... hehe." She quickly waved her hand to indicate that she wasn't 'unwilling' to go. Pado's voice was a little soft. Well, if she could, she would indeed prefer not to go anywhere, but to stay in the headquarters warehouse as her own warehouse manager, with three meals a day without worry, able to take a nice afternoon nap, and occasionally go to other members' rooms in the organization to get some goods. Life would be incredibly comfortable.
But—the cat is also very grateful. Even though she would prefer to live an ordinary life, Pado knows that these wonderful days were brought to her by her sister, Ellie.
She didn't mind being ordered around by Sister Aili; it was just a matter of putting in some effort and working hard for a few days—it was her duty to help Sister Aili!
Just like her attitude towards position and power, Cat was quite clear about her own limitations—with her meager abilities, if Sister Ellie asked her to do something and she messed it up... that would truly be a sin.
“It’s alright. All I need you to do next is accompany someone, guide them, and investigate a few things along the way. That’s exactly what you’re good at, Phyllis.”
Hearing this, Pado still hesitated, "Is...is this really okay?"
"No problem, I have great faith in Phyllis's abilities."
"...Let's just forget about it then. I don't even believe in my own abilities..." Facing the pink-clad girl's smile and meeting her expectant gaze, despite feeling very uncertain, Pado couldn't bring herself to refuse, even though 'Alicia' had already stated that it was okay if she didn't want to, she could still continue being her little warehouse manager.
After hesitating for a moment, the cat whispered:
"...Let's give it a try."
Regardless, she...didn't want to let Ellie down.
Regarding this trip to Europe, MEI arranged a connecting flight for 'Alice' and the others.
The previous third and fourth major collapses involved 'illegal cross-border travel', which was already fraught with problems. Moreover, as a 'Hero of Fire Chaser', Alicia is a prominent figure who can represent the Fire Chaser Moth, so her travels should more or less follow the rules and regulations.
Moreover, in order to attract the attention of the European faction within the organization, they would inevitably need to make a bigger fuss.
On the military-grade, extreme weather-resistant aircraft designed and manufactured by Vilvi, Jiang Qiao, accompanied by her cat and fairy Ellie, met the third member of the group.
"Hi~ Sakura, it's been a long time."
Looking at the cherry blossom-colored girl sitting in the cabin, meticulously wiping the sharp red blade of her Jizo-myo-tama with a special cloth and polishing oil, 'Alicia', who was in her best state, greeted her with a smile.
Sakura nodded in response:
"Hmm, it's been a long time, Alicia."
Although she seems so easy to communicate with in Paradise, in reality—the Sakura in Paradise is already a product of many experiences and leaving the poisonous pupa, and the Sakura who is still acting as MEI's 'white glove' now, she can't be said to be that difficult to get along with... but she is still quite difficult to communicate with.
However, her attitude towards [Alicia] is much better, since the 'Jizo Mitama' in her hand is extremely important to Sakura.
"Is there any point in maintaining the Divine Key?" The pink-clad girl asked curiously as she found a seat.
The essence of the Divine Key is that its main body is composed of Soul Steel robots, which gives it a certain degree of self-repair ability. Applying the usual maintenance methods for swords to this kind of special weapon is undoubtedly a waste of effort.
"This is a habit that people in our industry tend to have without prior agreement... Although it may not really mean anything, it can be seen as a way to pass the time or a form of psychological comfort, either way."
"Besides, you know what 'she' means to me."
'Alicia' neither confirmed nor denied this.
For Sakura, the 'Jizo Mitama' is not a so-called 'weapon' or 'tool', but an irreplaceable family member.
Therefore, maintaining Jizo Mitama is actually like Sakura, as the older sister, taking care of her 'younger sister'.
"How have you been lately, Rin?"
"Fortunately."
When Rin was mentioned, Sakura's smile widened even more.
She mentions you to me from time to time.
"Really? Then I'll go see that child when I have time."
"it is good."
"So..."
Sakura's gaze shifted to the cat sitting next to 'Alice's', who was acting somewhat reservedly. She was usually a talkative person, but Sakura's aura was really intimidating. Having grown up in Twilight Street, Pado, who had excellent eyesight, didn't dare to talk to her. She could only shrink back and mutter 'I can't see you, I can't see you' like a turtle.
Unfortunately, he was eventually 'caught' and could only resign himself to his fate, whispering:
"Hello, I am Padofelis."
"Is this child my partner?"
Sakura's mission on this trip was to attract attention by outwardly maneuvering around Alicia and the Fifth Research Department, while secretly gathering information about the European faction, thus paving the way for Dr. MEI to make his move later. Naturally, she knew that this child named Paddo Phyllis was her partner on this trip.
"Is she really okay?"
Recalling the resume of Pado that she had seen, even though she trusted 'Alicia' very much, Sakura couldn't help but have such doubts.
A homeless child from Twilight Street, a notorious thief with only literacy skills, currently working in the logistics department of Moth Chaser Warehouse... To be honest, when she saw this resume, she wondered if Dr. MEI disliked her and assigned her this absurd partner to ruin her life.
In response, Dr. MEI, the non-stick pan expert, thoughtfully stated that this was given to him by 'Alice'.
Okay, so Alicia is trying to kill me?
With a hint of resentment, Sakura stared speechlessly at the pink-clad girl and her mascot cat.
Sister, I'm doing this for you guys, why are you trying to rip me off like this?
"Hmm~ Don't underestimate Phyllis, she... um..."
'Alicia' smiled and wanted to say something to Pado, who was shrinking her head, but she became dazed halfway through her sentence and covered her forehead.
"What's wrong, Alicia?!"
"It's alright, it's alright..."
After saying that, the girl's expression became somewhat confused.
She looked at Sakura and Pado in front of her, feeling a little strange—wasn't she drinking with the rich Eden, the big Nana? How come the people in front of her suddenly changed to 'Sai-ni-chan' and 'Cat-eared Girl'?
Of course, the most deadly thing was... when Alicia's gaze moved to Sakura's empty head and Pado's bald buttocks, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Amidst the two women's puzzled gazes, the chubby woman, looking completely blank, approached Sakura, scratched her head, gestured, and then went to Pado's side, patting the cat's bottom—Pado's face instantly flushed crimson...
Oh... this is so bold? Sister Aili?! ...And...and there are people watching!
When both of them were completely bewildered, the fat woman, having confirmed everything, revealed an expression of utter devastation:
"Aaaaaah!!!" (Groundhog screams)
Oh my god, the goat-eared girl's ears and the cat-eared girl's cat ears and tail have disappeared!!!
At the same time, the past paradise of modern civilization.
