The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Crack! Crack!" Seeing this, Crack also tapped his skull hard, his soul fire burning fiercely, expressing the same desire.

For them, being by their owner's side and experiencing endless wonders is far more important than sticking to one place to run a business.

Mori also followed her friends' lead, conveying the simple idea of ​​"wanting to be together with everyone".

Moran looked at them, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

At this point, Zhizhi changed the subject: "Besides, I can easily hire more employees to help with management. Entrepreneurs who run big businesses don't need to try to do everything themselves. They need to learn to recognize and utilize people effectively and grasp the overall situation!"

As it spoke, it pulled out a crumpled book from its symbiotic space, with the title "Entrepreneurial Spirit" prominently displayed on the cover.

She expertly turned to a page, pointed at the text with her paw, and said seriously, "That's right, that's what the book says! 'Successful leaders should be good at delegating and hiring professional managers to handle daily operations...' So, we can totally find a reliable manager to help us run the shop! That way, we can take risks while the managed property continues to make money, without missing a beat! Squeak, I'm so smart!"

Moran: "..."

Looking at Zizi's smug, small-business-minded demeanor, then at the skull next to Kaba who, though not understanding, was nodding in support, and at Sentai who, though not knowing, was also swaying its branches in a show of support, she was speechless for a moment.

She rubbed her temples, but finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It seems that Zizi is serious about "starting a business" and has even started studying management books.

“Alright, alright,” Moran conceded with a mix of helplessness and amusement. “Ms. Zhizhi, the future CEO of our ‘Mozhikasen’ Group, then the task of finding a professional manager will be entirely yours. Make sure it’s settled before we set off again! But thankfully, we’ll be staying in Valendo for a while this time, so you can take your time.”

"Squeak! Leave it to me!" Squeak puffed out its chest, full of confidence, and had already begun mentally sifting through its employees to see who seemed to have the most management talent. The more it thought about it, the more restless it became. It eagerly said to Moran:
"Master, you can visit the house later when you go to explore other worlds. Now, let's go to the shop together!"

“Okay,” Moran agreed with a smile, “Tell me the spatial coordinates of the Mozhikasen Pet Custody House, and I’ll open the door and take you there.”

She had originally planned to set up outposts in multiple locations throughout the world of Valen and record the spatial coordinates of these outposts on the magic clock at the entrance of the Witch's House, thus achieving true "accessibility upon opening the door."

The childcare facilities are part of Zhizhi's business, so naturally they should be included!
Zizi immediately pulled out a well-preserved tent land deed from its magical symbiotic space, which clearly marked the specific spatial coordinates of the foster home in the explorer's camp.

Moran, holding the coordinates, entered the witch's hut and went to the magic clock next to the door. He stretched out his finger and gently touched a blank mark on the clock face. As magic flowed, a crooked but distinctive little bow tie icon was engraved on it, which represented the Mozikasen Pet Custody House.

Next, as the Mirror Master, she created a stable, fixed teleportation channel between the Mirror Space of the Witch's House and this coordinate, and linked it to this icon.

"Okay, let's go!" Moran called out to the three little ones who were still curiously looking around in the yard.

"Squeak! Let's go!" Squeak couldn't wait any longer and instantly transformed back into the strong, sturdy monkey with a bow tie, looking quite taller than a human. It even carefully straightened the bow tie around its neck and helped Kaba straighten the same bow tie around its neck as well.

Kaba, holding a small spatial planting pot, called out to the moss's main body, "Kaba! (Come here!)"

The massive tree trunk of the moss emitted a soft green light, rapidly shrinking and shrinking until it became a miniature tree only the height of a palm, yet still with lush and verdant leaves.

Zizi carefully lifted the miniature moss and gently placed it into the planting pot that Kaba was holding. The little tree's roots immediately spread out, taking root in the magical soil in the pot, and it swayed its leaves contentedly.

Squeak took out a small bow tie from its companion space and put it on the moss before leading them into the house with satisfaction.

A monkey, a skeleton, and a small tree stand in a line behind Moran, creating a wonderfully harmonious scene.

After Moran waited for them to come in, he first closed the door, then reached out and gently moved the hands of the magic clock to the newly engraved "little bow tie icon" mark.

A flash of light appeared on the clock face, accompanied by a slight spatial fluctuation.

Moran gripped the doorknob again and slowly pushed the door open. The scene outside had changed dramatically!

It was no longer the pond and meadow outside the witch's house, but a street with creaking and clattering sounds that were all too familiar.

"Wow! Squeak! We really arrived directly!" Squeak exclaimed in surprise.

"Click!" Click excitedly shook the planting pot, and the mini moss in the pot curiously poked its "head" out.

After leaving the house and turning back, you see a rather large door behind you. On the door hangs a handmade, slightly rough but very carefully crafted wooden sign with the words "Mozhika Pet Care Center" engraved in crooked but vibrant characters, next to which is a small purple bow tie pattern.

Zizi stepped forward and opened the door with practiced ease: "Come in!"

Behind the door is a spacious reception hall that is decorated in a warm and fun style.

Several explorers are here with their magical pets, waiting to complete the formalities or to pick up their companions.

Further away, a small rock tortoise was slowly crawling in a corner, while a shimmering butterfly rested on a trellis specially set up for it.

“Welcome~”

A red squirrel with a small black bow tie and meticulously groomed fur nimbly peeked out from behind the tall reception desk.

When the boss isn't home, it takes on multiple roles, recording customer requests and acting as a doorman.

She was originally taking notes in a small notebook, and was just giving a routine welcome when she saw that it was Zhizhi and Kaba who came in. A hint of surprise flashed in her round, black eyes:
"Boss Zizi, Boss Kaba? Didn't you say you were leaving for two days? Why are you back so soon?"

Its gaze passed over the squeaking and crackling sounds and landed on Moran, who was the last to enter.

When it saw that Morana's image was exactly the same as the purple-haired witch on the back of the card, the red squirrel froze, then let out a short, sharp screech, almost dropping the notebook in its little paws:
"Card...Card Witch, Lady Moran, you...you're back?!" (End of Chapter)
