In a way, this can be considered a blessing in disguise.

I just hope that Kevin won't be disliked by Dr. May when winter comes.

Compared to big cities, Huanghun Street is very small, and it is rarely visited by outsiders.

Therefore, when Huang Quan and Alicia appeared, they attracted considerable attention.

In particular, both of them are beautiful girls with different appearances.

However, no one was foolish enough to harass the two. Although Twilight Street was small, the security was decent. However, due to the poor economic situation here, some bad things were bound to happen. This was not related to where one was or what kind of education one received, but rather an inevitable rule.

"Two beautiful ladies, are you here to visit Twilight Street? My name is Pado, and I know Twilight Street very well. For just a small fee, you can hire me as your tour guide."

Just as the two were looking around, a cute girl with brown hair who looked rather clever walked up to them with a smile.

The girl was dressed in somewhat worn but clean clothes, and had a pure smile on her face. When she smiled, a small tiger tooth was revealed at the corner of her mouth, just like a cat's, which was very cute.

"Hmm...we're definitely not familiar with this place, Mei, what do you think?"

Alicia looked at Huang Quan beside her.

"In that case, I'll trouble you."

Huang Quan smiled and nodded, then took out the largest denomination banknote and handed it to Pado.

"Wow~"

The moment she saw the banknotes, Pado's eyes lit up. She took the banknotes from Huang Quan's hands and stuffed them into her pocket, looking like a money-grubbing woman afraid that Huang Quan would regret it.

"Hehe, thank you so much, beautiful lady! I know Huanghun Street very well, I'll make sure you're satisfied!"

As Pado spoke, her big eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Of course, Huang Yinqi Liuyi》彡氿児???〃Quan could guess that this little thief cat simply wanted to squeeze some money out of him.

However, Huang Quan didn't care, and neither did Alicia.

Pado wasn't lying; the other person really did a very responsible job as a tour guide, and the service was impeccable.

She knew Twilight Street very well; she knew everything about it.

Passing by a candied hawthorn stall, Pado stared at it for a long time. Finally, with a pained expression, she took out a few crumpled bills and bought a skewer of candied hawthorn.

Having made so much money today, it's okay to indulge a little, right?

"Boss, give me one skewer... three skewers of candied hawthorns!"

Pado didn't forget Huang Quan and Alicia beside her, and immediately spoke to the old lady next to her.

After the shopkeeper wrapped the candied hawthorn in rice paper, Pado brought it to Huang Quan and Alicia.

"Sister Mei, Sister Airi, thank you for taking care of me today. Let me treat you to candied hawthorns."

With an innocent smile on her face, she placed the candied hawthorns in front of the two of them.

In fact, Pado rarely eats candied hawthorns, even though they are not expensive.

"Then thank you, Padora."

Alicia took the candied hawthorn and looked at the other person with a smile. Because the other person was so cute, Alicia couldn't help but pat the other person's head.

The other person, like a kitten, rubbed their fluffy head against Alicia's hand.

Although Paddo's financial situation wasn't great, she was very clean and had a fluffy, fuzzy head.

"Alright, it's time to meet again. I hope we can meet Sister Huangquan and Sister Aili again next time. Goodbye!"

After glancing at the sky, Pado smiled at the two of them, then bid them farewell and left their sight.

"Hmm... it's getting late, it's time for us to find a place to stay, grab a bite to eat, and see what good food is available on Twilight Street."

After Pado left, Alicia said with a smile.

"I advise you not to do that."

"why?"

Hearing Huang Quan's voice, Alicia was stunned.

"You don't want to be chased down by the restaurant owner for dining and dashing, do you?"

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Alicia felt around on her person and suddenly realized that her wallet was gone.

"Wow, that kid's skills are really good. I never thought he could take my wallet without me noticing."

Although her wallet had vanished into thin air, Ellie didn't look angry at all; instead, she had an amused expression on her face.

"However...a cunning rabbit has three burrows, you know~ Besides my wallet, I habitually keep money in other places too~"

Alicia looked at Huang Quan with a smile and said smugly.

Huang Quan was a little curious. Alicia's clothes only had one pocket, and there was nowhere else to put money.

Then, Huang Quan saw Alicia reach her hand to her chest, then slowly bury it inside, and pull out a banknote.

"?"

Huang Quan hadn't expected that the other party would hide a banknote here.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Huang Quan seemed to smell a faint scent of frankincense.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I had a trick up my sleeve. Come on, Mei, I'll treat you to dinner. But how are you going to repay me?"

Yellow Springs (Pre-Honkai Civilization): 12: Saint Elisia! Love Gate!

"Hmm... that lady's cooking was really good~ I wish I could eat her food every day, it's a pity I can't stay here for long..."

At this moment, the sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the world. Facing the sunset, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows of the two people, stretching to the end of the street corner.

"That day will come, Ellie."

After a moment of silence, Huang Quan spoke calmly.

"Well, I believe you!"

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Ai Li paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around. The setting sun cast its golden light behind her.

She smiled and looked at Huang Quan, her eyes full of trust.

"But... Mei, we should go, or we'll be homeless."

Alicia looked at Huang Quan with some distress.

Although her wallet was stolen, Alicia wasn't angry. She could sense that Pado wasn't a bad person at heart, and perhaps she had some unspeakable reason for stealing her wallet.

"Hmm... I remember there's an orphanage in this town. Let's go check it out, and then go back."

Huang Quan spoke to Alicia, a rare occurrence for him.

"Huh, Mei, is there a reason why you went there? You've never been so proactive in saying where you're going before."

Alicia's face showed a hint of interest.

Mei is great in every way, except that she can be a bit dull at times and seems passive in everything she does.

So it's always been Alicia who takes Mei around, but today is an exception. Mei has unusually asked to go somewhere to take a look.

"I just happened to see this thing, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Huang Quan gently shook his head and said to Alicia.

"Well, since Mei said so, let's go!"

As Alicia spoke, she quickly took Mei's hand and walked towards the orphanage.

Although neither of them had been here before, Alicia still took on the responsibility of guiding them. After all, if Huang Quan were to lead the way, who knew where he would take them?

Given Huang Quan's absurdly bad sense of direction, he might just end up in some remote corner.

......

"Brother Qianjie, come help quickly!"

Outside the door, Pado was panting as she pulled a small cart full of supplies.

"It is you."

Standing at the entrance of the orphanage, or rather the sanatorium, Qianjie looked at Pado in the distance, crossed his arms, and said calmly.

He always seemed indifferent to everyone, as if no one could truly capture his attention.

"How did you get so many supplies?"

As Qianjie spoke, he looked at the supplies inside the small vehicle.

In addition to everyday food and various daily necessities, there were also some snacks, including several boxes of imported hard candy.

Qianjie remembered that these hard candies were very expensive.

"Hehe, Little Laika said this candy was delicious last time, so I specially bought a few boxes for the kids to try."

With a lovely smile on her face, Pado spoke as Qianjie easily hoisted the supplies onto his shoulders.

The bag, which would require Pado or even an adult to drag it, was carried by Qianjie with such ease.

"Hehe, Brother Qianjie is really amazing. He can lift such a heavy thing so easily."

At first, Pado was very wary of the sanatorium. After all, although Aponia seemed like a good person, Qianjie did not. Pado always felt that it was actually a fallen nun and a terrifying killer conducting some kind of human experimentation here, just using the sanatorium as a cover.

Yeah, I already told you not to read those storybooks, reading too many will make you become like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

However, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Padophilia's relationship with Aponia improved, and she would often rob the rich to help the poor, bringing some supplies to give to the children.

"Try to do this kind of thing less often in the future. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Don't let me see you crawling over like a kitten with a broken leg one day."

Feeling the weight of the supplies in his hands, the porter, Uncle Qianjie, said calmly.

"Hehe, my skills are top-notch, there's no way I'll get caught. And... Brother Qianjie, if I really get my enemies coming after me... you'll help me, right? You definitely will! With those muscles, you could easily take on ten of them! But... hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to speak so eloquently, Brother Qianjie..."

Pado looked at Qianjie with a playful expression. In Pado's memory, this guy was nothing more than a complete brute.

The reason I say this is because I have witnessed Qianjie's actions.

Although the overall security in the Twilight Street area is relatively good, there are still some idle and unemployed people who wander around aimlessly.
