I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Yes, that's right. We only dispersed the surrounding residents; we didn't defeat those monsters that resembled Honkai Beasts."

Bronya nodded in agreement, since at most they could only knock those Honkai Beast-like monsters away without actually causing them any real damage.

After hearing Kiana and the others' explanation, the investigators also said to them:

"No, don't say that. Your protection of the citizens has already helped us a lot. Without you, who knows what might have happened here. We sincerely thank you."

Kiana and Raiden Mei felt embarrassed upon hearing the investigators' praise, while Bronya remained expressionless, having lost her emotions due to the X-10 experiment and becoming like a emotionless loli.

The investigators then looked at Ying and Yuhaka. They knew about Ying, but they knew nothing about Yuhaka, who was wearing a cat headgear. In the previous incident involving the guardian of the ruins, Yuhaka had done a good job of protecting the safety of the residents of a residential building, preventing them from being crushed by the collapsing tower crane.

However, at least now they have the opportunity to communicate with each other, and perhaps during the communication they can find out Yuhaka's identity.

P.S.: I woke up late today, and the Genshin Impact event update was also late. Today I saw that Honkai Impact 3 released a new S-rank character, and it's actually a big duck! That's awesome. My crystals weren't wasted. Plus, the character gacha gives you stigmata and weapons, which is pretty good. I'm just a little worried about what to do if I pull it on the first try.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1322 [Youyou: Someone's treating! ☆w☆!]

In a top-tier restaurant in Shanghai, the investigators brought Yuhaka and the others to this location.

Ying and Kiana looked a little confused, clearly not understanding why they had been brought here. Zhongli and Yuhaka, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed. Zhongli sipped tea made with fine tea leaves, while Yuhaka held a chopstick in each hand, shaking his head and wagging his large tail happily. It was clear that Yuhaka was really looking forward to this treat.

As for who paid for the meal, it goes without saying that it was the investigators, and of course, the investigation bureau reimbursed them for it.

Kiana and the others stared blankly as one incredibly expensive dish after another was placed on the turntable on the table. Kiana couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight, since the dishes served were far more lavish than what she had eaten when she went on a mission to the Nine Netherworld last time.

Bronya, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed watching Kiana drooling. However, there was indeed a lot of food on the table, which made Bronya wonder what Kiana was up to.

Although the other party was treating them to a meal to thank them for what they had done before, Bronya was a little worried that they might have some ulterior motives. However, it didn't seem like that was the case at all. After all, Bronya had done some research on Zhongli before and found that, given his identity and personality, it was unlikely that he would do anything with those people in such a way. This made Bronya feel a little more at ease.

Another problem was that Bronya was also not quite sure why the other party had brought them to this restaurant that looked like a five-star restaurant, instead of going to the location of their investigation bureau. Wouldn't it be safer to do so here?

Okay, although Kiana's stomach rumbling earlier triggered a chain reaction that caused their stomachs to rumble as well, even the little girl with the cat headband's stomach was rumbling, according to the blonde girl, Ying, they seemed to have just eaten lunch. This puzzled Bronya greatly. Could it be that the little girl, like Kiana, was a big eater?

Hmm... okay, let's not think about those things for now. The most important thing right now is the people from the Investigation Bureau.

Judging from their previous behavior at the scene, the other party seemed reluctant to expose such a thing. As for the reason, it is unclear whether it is like how they treat the Honkai in their world, and they do not want the Honkai incident to cause panic among the people.

The Investigation Bureau invited Yuhaka and Kiana to dinner not only to discuss matters, but also for other reasons. Previously, the Investigation Bureau staff had discovered that Yuhaka and Ying had gone to the market to buy groceries, and all the surveillance videos of Yuhaka and Ying in the market had been collected.

Based on the types and quantities of ingredients purchased by Yuhaka and her group, the Investigation Bureau didn't find much. They had originally intended to determine the number of people on Yuhaka and Ying's side by observing the quantity of ingredients purchased, but Yuhaka's purchases made it difficult to ascertain the number of people on her side. However, the Investigation Bureau did make a strange discovery: some of the ingredients Yuhaka bought were for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The fact that she could cook Chinese food surprised the Investigation Bureau. Furthermore, the Investigation Bureau discovered that Yuhaka used a QR code to pay, leading the investigators to believe that she might be a character from their work, though they were unsure of her exact identity.

After all, it's hard to determine which work Yuhaka is from, since Yuhaka's cat headgear makes him seem like a character from Monster Hunter, but his behavior is more like that of a character from their own work.

So they came up with the idea of ​​inviting someone to dinner, hoping that the other person would take off their hood when they were invited.

At the same time, treating others to meals is also a way to increase their goodwill. After all, based on the findings of the investigation bureau, they believe that Yuhaka may be someone who is very knowledgeable and skilled in Chinese cuisine. After all, the method of making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not only very time-consuming, but also complicated, and the ingredients are relatively expensive. Basically, most people's understanding of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is limited to videos.

...(for example, the author himself)...

Of course, the reason why it wasn't assumed that Ying cooked the food is because Yuhaka was the one who picked out the ingredients, while Ying just watched from the sidelines and chatted with Yuhaka occasionally. Moreover, judging from the conversation records of those shop owners, it can be seen that Yuhaka is really good at selecting ingredients, choosing the best of each one.

Soon after the first round of food was served, the older investigator addressed everyone present:

"Alright, the food's served. Everyone, please eat first. The next few dishes will be served a little slower, otherwise the food will get cold."

Hearing the older investigator's words, everyone said they wouldn't stand on ceremony and started eating. Then, the two investigators turned their attention to Yuhaka and saw that Yuhaka had opened the mouth area under his hood.

The two investigators who witnessed this scene were stunned. They hadn't expected Yuhaka to do such a thing, which caught them off guard. Kiana and the others were also dumbfounded by Yuhaka's actions. They hadn't expected that Yuhaka's cat headgear would have such a function. They were very curious about why Yuhaka didn't want to take off the headgear to eat.

Of course, Ying, who was standing to the side, was also a little curious as to why Yuhaka was eating while wearing a cat headgear. Wouldn't that be a little uncomfortable?

Zhongli, standing to the side, seemed completely unfazed by Yuhaka's actions. After all, as an ancient relic from thousands of years ago, what hadn't Zhongli seen before?

Uh... okay, Zhongli has never seen anyone with multiple powerful elemental forces like Yuhaka before. But judging from the other's tail and small hands, Zhongli can roughly guess that Yuhaka is probably a hybrid like Gan Yu.

This isn't unusual in Liyue.

While everyone was eating, Zhongli asked Ying with a curious look:

"Traveler, won't you introduce your new friend?"

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, the young investigator couldn't help but think, "Long live the Rock King Emperor!" or "As expected of the Rock King Emperor, he can easily do things that we can't."

Although they wanted to ask Yuhaka directly, it would be impolite and lower Yuhaka's opinion of them. So, when they were unsure whether to ask, Zhongli stepped forward and asked the question. Of course, the two of them didn't give Zhongli any meaningful look, and Zhongli didn't notice the investigators' thoughts.

Zhongli himself was very curious about Yuhaka's identity, so he asked Ying about it. Of course, Zhongli hoped that Ying's new friend wouldn't be like a certain bard, but so far, the other party seems to be a very well-behaved child.

Hearing Zhongli's words, Ying, who was about to pick up some food, was stunned. After all, she hadn't expected Zhongli to ask her to introduce Youhaka. But upon closer reflection, Ying realized that she hadn't introduced Youhaka in that way.

Thinking of this, Ying picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, saying to Zhongli and the others:

"Oh, you can just call this one Youyou."

"Youyou?"

Hearing Ying's words, the people present were a little surprised. After all, they did not expect that the name Youhaka would sound so Chinese, like a nickname given to a child by a rural person.

The second point is that Yuhaka's weapons and clothing look more like something from a Western fantasy world, even his weapons, which makes it a little hard for them to tell where Yuhaka is from.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1323 [The Finances of the Hall of Rebirth - In Danger!]

Hearing someone call his name, Yuhaka looked up from the table and around, chewing on a pork rib bun with a puzzled expression, as if asking why he was being called.

"Why call her Youyou?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the two investigators present were at a loss for words. After all, Yuhaka's accent and fluent Mandarin made them wonder if she was even from China. Moreover, Yuhaka's skill in using chopsticks was quite adept, unlike someone who had just started using them. Of course, this didn't necessarily mean anything, as Kiana and the others nearby were also very skilled with chopsticks. It could be due to environmental factors, but at least Yuhaka's performance revealed very little information.

The name and current appearance alone are not enough to determine which work the other person is from, which made the investigators at the investigation bureau look pained.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Zhongli also asked:

"Your name is Youyou, right?"

Hearing Zhongli's question, Youhaka nodded and, while taking a few bites of his bun, said to Zhongli:

"That's right, Youyou's name is Youyou O~O."

After confirming that Yuhaka's name was Yuyu, Zhongli nodded slightly and said to Yuhaka:

"Yes, my dear friend Youyou, I am very grateful for your concern regarding the traveler. If you have the opportunity to visit Liyue, I will treat you well."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Youhaka naturally wore a puzzled expression. However, unsure of how to respond, Youhaka nodded to indicate that he understood. Although he didn't know what that place was, it sounded like a nice place.

Ying, who was standing to the side, was also confused when she heard the conversation between the two. For some reason, Ying felt like she was hearing her parents greeting their friends when they came to her home, which made Ying a little confused.

The investigators standing to the side also looked at Zhongli and Yuhaka's conversation with obvious puzzlement. They clearly did not understand the meaning of Zhongli's words, after all, weren't they from two different worlds?

How could we possibly enter each other's worlds?

Unlike the investigators who looked puzzled, Ying didn't find it strange. After all, there was a guy named Zelus behind Yuhaka. It seemed that Zelus could send Yuhaka to other worlds. It seemed that he could go to their world if he wanted to, but the god of heaven would probably stop him.

I just don't know who's stronger, Yuhaka or that guy Tenri.

After hearing Zhong Li's words, Yuhaka swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Zhong Li with a curious expression, asking:

"Liyue? Where can I find good food?"

Regarding the question about Yuhaka, Zhongli naturally nodded and said:

"Of course, I'll treat you then."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, both investigators and Ying looked at Zhongli with strange expressions. They were clearly incredulous at the idea that Zhongli would treat them. Of course, this didn't mean that Zhongli didn't treat them, but rather that if he did, the outcome would be something like "I'll treat you, you pay."

Ying looked at Zhongli with a speechless expression, as if to say, "You didn't forget to bring money again, did you?" Zhongli, seeing Ying's expression, knew what she was thinking, shook his head, and looked at Ying with a helpless smile, saying:

"Don't worry, I'll bring money."

Kiana and the others standing nearby looked completely bewildered upon hearing Zhongli and Ying's conversation. After all, they couldn't understand what Zhongli and Ying were saying at all. They recognized the individual characters, but couldn't understand them when put together. Moreover, they couldn't join the conversation, which made them feel a little awkward.

Meanwhile, the investigators noticed the awkwardness on Kiana and her companions' faces and asked them about the current time period in their world. Kiana and Raiden Mei were taken aback by the investigators' question, while Bronya immediately understood what they were asking.

But Bronya roughly guessed what the other party wanted to know when they asked this question. They probably wanted to know the time period of the game's storyline where they were.

Thinking about this, Bronya almost forgot about investigating Honkai RD. After all, this incident was a bit sudden, and Bronya was a little caught off guard. Fortunately, it wasn't too late. With that, Bronya lit up the projection screen that only she could see and then used the network to investigate Honkai RD.

Kiana, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment about what the investigator was saying when they were brought out by the white-haired girl, and then replied:

"Before that nasty guy sent us to this world, we were on a mission aboard a warship."

Hearing Kiana's words, the young investigator roughly understood what stage of the story Kiana and her group were at before they arrived. If it was this stage, then a lot of the story had already been covered. After all, Honkai Impact 3rd has a manga storyline in addition to the game storyline, and there are quite a few retconning parts, which makes the investigators responsible for organizing the storyline feel a headache.

When Bronya heard Kiana reveal their plans, she couldn't help but curse Kiana inwardly as an idiot. However, she quickly realized it didn't really matter. After all, there was a game in this world where they were the main characters, and the other side already knew their information. There was no point in hiding it, so it was better to use these things to exchange for information from the other side.

With that in mind, Bronya didn't care too much, since they were currently desperately lacking in information about this world.

Hearing Kiana's words, the investigators frowned and looked at Bronya and the others, asking:

"So... you're saying that they were transported to this world because of other people?"

Kiana and the others nodded in response to the investigator's questions. Ying, who was overhearing their conversation, asked them:

"Um, were you transported to this world by a girl with long white hair dressed in a Western-style ancient military uniform?"

Upon hearing Ying's words, Kiana and the others looked at Ying with surprise. After all, they had not explained in detail what kind of girl had sent them to this world, and Ying had already told them before they could even speak.

This made Kiana and the others curious about how the blonde girl knew about their situation. The investigators were also very curious about how the girl knew that Altair had brought Kiana and the others here, since Ying had told Zhongli that she had come to this world unknowingly due to some accident.

She was even forced to play hide-and-seek with Yuhaka. Of course, she didn't tell anyone about this, as it was far too embarrassing. What Ying didn't know was that the video of her being chased by Yuhaka had been captured by a wildlife surveillance camera, although only a portion of it was recorded...

Kiana looked at the blonde girl in front of her with a surprised expression after hearing Ying's words and said:

"How did you know? I haven't even told you yet!!"

Ying explained to Kiana, who looked surprised:

“Many of the people here were sent to this world by Altair. Most of them were invited by Youyou. The rest are villains or bad guys, so Youyou didn’t invite them.”

Upon hearing Ying's words, the investigators couldn't help but show expressions of great interest. Clearly, they were very interested in the characters that Yuhaka and her group had invited. If they could cooperate with Yuhaka and her group, they might be able to deal with this dimensional invasion incident much better. However, they didn't know how to bring up such a thing with them, which gave them a bit of a headache.

P.S.: Goodness, I think I drank a fake Monster Energy drink. I fell asleep within twenty minutes of drinking it. The effects of Dongpeng Energy drink weren't this bad!

Okay, this will be a bit late for the second update today. I won't get up early tomorrow morning.

Volume 1 [The Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1324 [Hope to Go Back]

After confirming that there were quite a few people on Yuhaka's side, the people from the Investigation Bureau naturally heard about it as well.

To be honest, after hearing what Ying said, the Investigation Bureau understood why there were so many big events happening in Japan but no one was around. It turned out that most of the people were with Ying and Yuhaka.

However, for this reason, the investigation bureau also wanted to communicate with Yuhaka and Ying. But according to Ying, it seemed that they were mainly focused on Yuhaka, who was eating a lot. This made the staff of the investigation bureau feel a little strange. After all, Yuhaka did not seem like the kind of person with a strong leadership quality. Could it be that there was someone else behind Yuhaka directing things?

Thinking about it this way, the staff of the investigation bureau also believed that this was very likely. However, this was clearly just speculation and there was no way to prove it, so they could only think of other methods for the time being.

"So, Miss Kiana, you encountered Altair on the Moon Throne?"

Kiana and her companions nodded in agreement with the investigators' words. After all, they were on a mission to explore the Moon Throne when they encountered Altair. Although they didn't initially consider him an enemy, they clashed with him after he brandished his rapidly spinning sabers. However, Altair was stronger and sent them directly to this other world, which made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It's like when you play Yu-Gi-Oh!, you have a hand with four cards missing the Dark Wizard, and the next draw will definitely be the last Dark Wizard.
