All my teammates online are my girlfriends

The captain made a solemn promise, his expression so earnest that anyone who didn't know better would think he was an undercover agent he had sent.

"First of all, where is your master, Liu Yu?"

"It's in the Traveler's Tea House in the night market."

"How many of you infiltrated Shutlina this time?"

"A total of one hundred and fifty-three people!"

What is your purpose this time?

"First, we need to assassinate the city lord; second, we need to find your whereabouts, sir, and invite you to meet Lord Liu Yu!"

Inviting me? Is this the idea of ​​the princess behind Liu Yu?

Lin Qiu frowned, a strange feeling rising in his heart that trouble was about to strike.

"Alright, you stay here quietly for now, and I'll go ask the others."

After knocking the captain unconscious with a punch, Lin Qiu then proceeded to question the other members.

After confirming that the answers to the interrogation were consistent and without error, they finally managed to confuse the guys.

"Lord Lin Qiu, have you finished things on your end?"

Shortly after he finished, Alice's head suddenly peeked out from around the corner, looking around nervously at the situation in the alley.

"Oh, Alice, are you alright over there?"

"Hmm—it ran quite fast, and Lord Lin Qiu, your protective magic also worked."

Alice smiled and pointed to her shoulder. Besides the message, she hadn't expected there to be a protective magic mark on it.

"Well, I've almost finished dealing with things here. Let's go to the teahouse at the night market next. I've already found out where Liu Yu is."

"Yes!"

Alice was about to give a knightly salute, but then she remembered that she was dressed as a maid, so she quickly gave a slight bow and hurried after him.

But as if he had thought of something, Lin Qiu suddenly stopped and turned back again.

"What's wrong, Lord Lin Qiu?"

"Touch the corpse."

Lin Qiu casually said something, and under Alice's bewildered gaze, he squatted down next to the patrol captain and began to grope him.

A few seconds later, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Wow, this guy is pretty rich."

Looking at the few bottles of potions and the bag of gold coins he had pulled out, Lin Qiu's smile deepened.

Of course, he didn't forget to remind Alice—

"By the way, don't tell FishStealingCat about this, or she'll start nagging about splitting the loot again. We'll split it 20/80 afterwards!"

"Huh? Ah—I don't need it, you can take it all."

Alice shook her head. She had worked for so long and still had some savings; she wasn't in such dire need.

"Income should still be clearly divided, so let's do it my way."

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, and after searching everyone's pockets, he finally led Alice away with satisfaction.

I wonder how things are going with Ze Zhi. If I run into her looting corpses too, I might be able to sneak in some more!

"Listen up, all of you! I, the Fish-Stealing Cat, am notoriously ruthless in Origin Town. If you fall into my hands..."

"Lord Lin Qiu, why does this question seem so familiar?"

"Well, that's how we adventurers are."

Faced with Alice's suspicious gaze, Lin Qiu turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

I used to do a lot of interrogation missions with the Fish-Stealing Cat, and we had so much fun that I almost got used to it.

"Hey—Sawari, have you got things sorted out here?"

"Huh? Don't come any closer!! This business is mine!"

Seeing Lin Qiu and Alice approaching, Ze Zhi immediately became wary. All these fat sheep were hers, and no one was allowed to take them!

Lin Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this—

"Sawari, it's a bit much to be so distant now. We've been partners for so long, and now you're thinking of taking everything for yourself!"

"Don't you feel any remorse when you say that...?"

Zezhi glanced at this guy sideways. When it comes to eating alone, this guy was obviously full before he came over!

You come back after you've made your money, still trying to take advantage of me? You're so heartless!

"Cough—alright, alright, I'm not going to take it from you, really, is it necessary to be so nervous?"

"Please move away from that person who's tied up. You just moved a few centimeters too far over there."

"Why are you always so sensitive to these little details...?"

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes, but still obediently didn't move.

With Lin Qiu's interference, Ze Zhi lost interest in playing along with these lurkers and swiftly knocked them unconscious with a single punch before starting to search for valuables.

However, their harvest here was obviously much less than Lin Qiu's. In the end, Ze Zhi curled her lips in disgust, saying that these guys weren't even as rich as the monsters they had encountered before.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the big-breasted monster?"

"It's not far from here, let's go meet them together. But let me remind you beforehand, this is just a discussion, don't get into a fight with them."

Lin Qiu offered a reminder, suggesting that if he wasn't mistaken, the princess behind Liu Yu should have also arrived in Shutlina.

Before knowing the other party's purpose, it's best to avoid conflict, and it's best to prevent your own Temple of Knights from being attacked!

"Huh? I'm sworn enemies with that big-breasted monster! You think I'll avoid conflict with her? No way!"

"five hundred!"

"make a deal!"

Is it really a good idea for your relationship to continue like this?

Alice watched the two, whose tacit understanding had become strangely off, with a subtle expression throughout, and she didn't know what to say.

Is this how you usually harm other people?

No wonder when investigating one of them, the other person's name always pops up. It seems you two have become infamous as accomplices!

"Let's go to the teahouse first; I reckon someone's been waiting for us for a while."

"Aren't we waiting for Yunmo and Sister Ziyan?"

“Yunmo is even more resentful than you are… I’ve already left a message with Ziyan, she’ll come over once things are settled there.”

Lin Qiu said somewhat awkwardly that in order to prevent the conflict from escalating, he should go over there first.

Ze Zhi pouted upon hearing this. She could completely understand Qin Yunmo's resentment, but since Lin Qiu had already said so, she decided to hold back for the time being.

As they headed toward the teahouse, the young woman inside seemed to sense their presence and looked in their direction.

"The guests are finally arriving."

"Should we clear out the teahouse?"

"No need. The lively atmosphere is quite nice right now, and it makes the other party feel a little more at ease."

The girl chuckled softly, her gaze passing through the railing as she looked down at the street below, where she could already see Lin Qiu and the others.

"Hmm? Qingyuan and Yuanzi aren't here."

"It's alright, as long as the main people have arrived. Liu Yu, go and order some more tea and snacks."

"Yes."

Liu Yu nodded, got up and went downstairs.

When she went downstairs to reorder, Lin Qiu and the others also happened to arrive at the teahouse.

Upon seeing Liu Yu's figure for the first time, Ze Zhi immediately bristled and was about to rush over to make a move, but was instead grabbed back by Lin Qiu.

"Hey, don't forget what you promised me."

"Tsk——"

Ze Zhi clicked her tongue in annoyance, her gaze fixed on Liu Yu.

As if sensing some unfriendly gaze, Liu Yu paused slightly and turned around to look at them with some confusion.

The moment she saw Zezhi, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Who is this guy? For some reason, I have a really bad feeling about him.

But due to the princess's orders, Liu Yu suppressed her doubts, gave them a very elegant and proper bow, and slowly began to speak—

"Mr. Huiyuan, my princess has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come up to the third floor."

"I see."

Seeing Liu Yu's condition and confirming that she was not in a killable state, Lin Qiu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as Lin Qiu was leading Ze Zhi and Alice upstairs, Liu Yu spoke up again—

"Wait a moment, Mr. Huiyuan, you and this young lady can go up first, but Miss Alice, please come with me for a moment."

"Huh? Me?!"

Alice paused slightly, staring at Liu Yu with some wariness.

Could this guy be planning to kidnap me and use that to threaten Lord Lin Qiu?

"Please rest assured, we are just having a conversation. For Lady Ebisu's sake, we are being very sincere."

Liu Yu said it in a serious tone, with no hint of pretense on her face.

"Alice, you go ahead. With insurance, I'll know as soon as there's any movement."

Lin Qiu patted Alice on the shoulder and said something, which made her realize what was happening.

Lord Lin Qiu, just how much stuff did you add to me...?

Alice glanced at him subtly, but still obediently followed Liu Yu toward the empty private room.

Lin Qiu didn't think too much about it and led Ze Zhi to continue walking uphill.

As for Alice, she had just entered the private room and closed the door...

"This is outrageous!!"

"Eh?"

Alice was stunned when she saw Liu Yu's aura suddenly become extremely fierce.

What...what happened?

"Since you're going to be a maid, don't underestimate maids! What's with this old-fashioned maid with the long robe?"

"that......"

"It's so thick and long, and the fabric isn't breathable at all! What kind of fabric did you choose?! At the very least, you should have cut it shorter and paired it with white or black stockings; that's one of the soul elements of a maid outfit!!"

"And this chest area, your already thinness is a flaw, and wearing it like this without any concealment greatly reduces the attractiveness of the maid outfit!"

"Couldn't you have added a few more layers?! And this lace is so crudely made, it's completely careless! This is a desecration of the maid outfit!!"

Seeing the maid outfit that had already violated her taboos, Liu Yu finally lost her temper and began to scold her...

"Will there be any problems with Alice?"

"Probably, don't worry too much. I've set up several buffs and protective spells on her, so I'll know if anything goes wrong."

"oh-"
