Noticing that Aoyama Nanami looked hesitant after delivering her lines, Yin Kong immediately asked her a question.

Paimon's attention, naturally, is always on eating:

"Oh, I see! You wanted to try Xiangling's cooking with us, but you were too shy to ask, right?"

Yin Kong chuckled and pinched Paimon's bouncy cheek, saying:

"Paimon, go check if Ms. Yoko is home. If she is, invite her to dinner."

Paimon, unsuspecting, rolled in the air and said:

"Okay, I'll head out now. You guys come quickly too."

After Paimon left, Yin Kong asked:

"So, Miss Aoyama, are you troubled by what happened during the day? This was my oversight; I didn't inform you in advance that something like this would happen."

Indeed, it is perfectly normal for an ordinary high school girl to feel worried and confused when she is suddenly involved in a gang shootout.

"However, I can assure you that you'll be absolutely safe as long as you stay behind the counter. Of course, it's only natural for you to choose to leave if you wish..."

As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet. Although Yin Kong thinks that Aoyama Nanami is a serious and responsible girl, he will not force her to stay if she really cannot accept this kind of work environment.

"No, no, no! You misunderstood, that's absolutely not what I meant!" Aoyama Nanami waved her hands repeatedly, scratching her cheek as she explained in a low voice, "I just wanted to ask, what are the requirements to become an official agent of the Sly Rabbit House?"

Looking into the girl's bright, shining eyes, Yin Kong was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

It turns out that Aoyama Nanami wasn't frightened by the gunfight during the day at all, but rather amazed by the swordsmanship that allowed her to slice bullets with her blade.

Was this girl originally a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?

But then again, if she weren't so immature, Aoyama Nanami wouldn't have fallen out with her family and gone to Tokyo alone to work and study just to become a voice actress, even if she was starving and had to eat dirt instead of going back.

"This... might be a bit difficult."

Yin Kong thought that if it were Inuyasha and Kagome, or Ran and Conan, they might have a chance to become agents of the Rabbit House in the future.

But the girl in front of her, Aoyama Nanami, was just an ordinary girl, just like Yukino Yukinoshita.

Even if characters like Manyo were willing to impart all their swordsmanship skills, she would probably still find it difficult to reach that level.

Chapter 137 Xiangling’s cooking

Clearly, Aoyama Nanami was wavering.

She seems to have discovered that becoming an agent for the Rabbit House is more interesting and appealing than becoming a voice actress.

Unfortunately, this is clearly a much more difficult goal than becoming a voice actor.

Aoyama Nanami wasn't stupid. Although Yin Kong didn't directly deny the possibility, his tone clearly showed his pessimism.

"However, although it's unlikely you'll become an official agent, you can still learn some skills if you sincerely request it."

Putting everything else aside, it's highly likely that Kore will stay at Dustwallow Pot permanently in the future, taking care of the specialties she brought from Teyvat.

Nanami can chat with her more, which will help her pass the time better.

Moreover, as a member of the Cunning Rabbit House, although the girl is absolutely safe when she plays "Catherine" in the agency, it is never a bad thing to know some self-defense skills.

At this point, Yin Kong also thought of something:

"By the way, this is for you."

Aoyama Nanami was slightly surprised when he saw the gold coins Yin Kong handed over.

She had already heard about Sato Miwako's experience during the day, and now that Yin Kong was giving her the Emperor Coin, could it be that this magical gold coin really had some mysterious effect?

After Qingshan Qihai found a rope and carefully hung up the imperial coin, Yin Kong nodded slightly and said:

"Let's go, Paimon must be getting impatient."

"Oh? Am I going too?"

Aoyama Nanami was taken aback; she had thought that Yin Kong had just made an excuse to send Paimon away.

"It's natural."

The girl's ambition to become an agent was extremely unlikely to be realized, but it undoubtedly made Yin Konggao take a second look at her.

At least, he's no longer just a tool to replace Catherine.

Of course, whether she will have the opportunity to become "one of us" depends on her future performance.

If one has ambition but is unwilling to put in the effort, then there is naturally nothing more to say.

Before Aoyama Nanami changed out of Catherine's clothes, Yin Kong was also surprised to find that his exploration dispatch had gained a new position, increasing from two characters to three.

And the newly added position actually came from—

Yin Kong was somewhat surprised. So, did he manage to gain enough prestige from the distillery in just one battle?

Although, it should be in a hostile sense.

This is naturally a great thing. With the addition of the two positions in Chen Ge Hu, Yin Kong can now have five characters moving around the agency at the same time.

It's worth mentioning that the distillery was very generous this time.

Its exploration and dispatch scope is not limited to Beika Town or Tokyo, but extends globally.

"Yin Kong, you're back! Look at my work!"

Upon returning to the apartment, the first thing Yin Kong saw was the incredibly excited Xiang Ling, and everyone else whose faces were beaming with joy.

"Cherry-infused seaweed! Pineapple pizza! Spicy fish scales! Rock sugar braised pork intestines..."

Aoyama Nanami's expression froze.

Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still remembered very clearly how delicious the food was when Yin Kong treated her to dinner last time.

That meal was arguably the most delicious meal she had ever eaten in her life.

But why did it turn into this strange dish today, one that sounds incredibly dark just from its name?

Aoyama Nanami glanced at the dishes on the table in disbelief and found that they were indeed as strange as Xiangling had described. She finally understood why, apart from Paimon, everyone else's face was filled with joy.

I wonder if it's too late for her to turn around and leave now?

Xiangling, naturally oblivious to Aoyama Nanami's reaction, grabbed Yin Kong's hand and said excitedly:

"Yin Kong, Yin Kong, there are so many ingredients here that I've never seen before, it's amazing!"

Yin Kong also understood and said:

"So, it also particularly inspired you?"

Although Liyue Harbor is the largest port in Teyvat, the flow of goods is ultimately incomparable to that of modern society.

Xiangling's culinary journey is precisely about exploring more possibilities.

As you can imagine, when she came into this world, you could hear "crackling" sounds almost everywhere.

Noticing Yoko and Nanami's forced smiles, Yin Kong also smiled and explained:

"Don't worry, everyone. Although Xiangling's creative dishes may look a bit questionable, the taste is guaranteed."

Wan Ye nodded slightly, saying in a helpless tone:

“That’s right, Sister Xiangling is just like that.”

Because of the Big Dipper, all the crew members of the Southern Cross fleet respectfully addressed Xiangling as "Sister Xiangling," and Manyo was no exception.

"Of course, how could I possibly serve diners food that isn't good?"

Xiangling initially stood proudly with her hands on her hips, but then looked at Yin Kong and Wan Ye with dissatisfaction and asked in return:

"However, what do you mean by 'looking suspicious'? I just haven't had time to adjust the appearance yet. After I make them a few more times, they'll look almost normal..."

Cole's expression became very subtle, because for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was worse to tell at a glance that the ingredients in the dish were abnormal, or to be told that the ingredients were abnormal after eating it.

"It's a pity there's no slime here, otherwise the stir-fried saury with slime would taste amazing..."

"That's it!"

Among everyone, Paimon is the only one who shares Xiangling's inexplicable obsession with slimes.

Seeing Yin Kong sit down with Qingshan Qihai, the little guy immediately picked up his chopsticks excitedly:

"Hoo hoo hoo, Paimon's going to eat his fill!"

Led by Paimon, Cole and the others hesitantly picked up their chopsticks.

However, apart from Yin Kong and Wan Ye, everyone else unanimously chose to eat the pineapple pizza that looked the most normal on the table.

In fact, Yin Kong and Wan Ye did not lie to them.

Although Xiangling's dishes, in terms of both appearance and preparation, resemble the legendary culinary disasters, they taste surprisingly good.

Just like Xiangling said, how could she possibly serve something so inedible?

As the atmosphere grew more heated, Yin Kong also told Xiao Lu about his and Inspector Megure's speculations.

Has the Black Organization infiltrated the country's top leadership?

The deer wasn't surprised at all. After all, even with the presence of the Thunder General, Inazuma's three commissioners could still collude with the Fools, let alone here.

He felt it would be abnormal if all the police officers here were as righteous as Inspector Megure.

Yin Kong nodded in agreement.

He felt that the reason why the distillery in his memory was becoming less and less oppressive, and even almost a comedic entity in the eyes of the audience, was probably because of this.

If it could infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. like Hydra did, turning it into a snake-like entity, then it might still be a decent villain.

The Black Organization has so many spies from various countries and organizations that they could practically form a mini United Nations, yet they have absolutely no intention of infiltrating back.

Furthermore, aside from the Karasuma Group, which is supposedly the number one conglomerate, they haven't even revealed any influence in the legitimate world, which is truly illogical.

Chapter 138 Void Abyss Dark Star

"But no matter how important a person is, it doesn't matter anymore, right?"

Kanoin Heizo chuckled softly.

The power they wield is akin to a game-changer for ordinary people.

These high-ranking insects are fine if they don't make a move, but if they dare to show their faces, the only result is that they will be instantly killed.

Upon hearing Aoyama Nanami's request, Cole was somewhat surprised:

"Oh, Miss Aoyama, would you like to learn archery as well?"

Seeing Aoyama Nanami's confusion, Okino Yoko frankly replied:

"And me too. I feel like I have too much energy, and practicing archery is a good option."

Of course, it was also because both Cole and Fischl were archers, and they got along very well with her.

Especially with Fischl, when Yoko Okino puts herself into the roles she has played before, she can connect with the other person even without Oz's translation.

This naturally delighted Amy, who exclaimed that she must invite Ms. Yoko to visit the Pure Land of the Night if she has the chance.

In contrast, Xiangling, Xiaolu, and Wanye, although not arrogant or unapproachable, would not easily pass on their skills to others unless Yin Kong asked them to.

Faced with the expectant gazes of the two, Cole scratched his head and said shyly:

"That's possible, but I'm not as skilled as Master Tinari and the others. Is that really alright?"

Although she had taught Yin Kong archery before, it was because Mr. Zhongli, who looked very skilled, was there to back him up, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"It's okay, we're just treating it as exercise."

Hearing what Yoko Okino said, Nanami Aoyama felt a little embarrassed.

Because her real goal was to become an agent. But under these circumstances, she was naturally too embarrassed to say that she wanted to.

Besides, since Cole is also an official agent, even if she doesn't seem as confident as Wan Ye Xiao Lu and the others, or as mysterious as Shinobu, she is definitely not an ordinary person, right?

Aoyama Nanami soon discovered that her guess was completely correct.

Although Cole spoke very modestly, her archery accuracy was truly outrageous; she could hit the bullseye with every arrow she shot.

However, the girl quickly said that it was nothing to her.

Her master, Tinari, could shoot an insect flying a hundred meters away; he was a true sharpshooter.
