The seasonal showers had ended while they were still enjoying their meal and playing with their cats at the cafe.
After leaving the cafe, Carol, Regaya, and Sylph each hugged Gu Xinghe for a while, somewhat reluctant to part.
"You can only leave after we've completely disappeared from your sight!"
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe smiled and patted Carol's head, who had actually made the request.
At the same time, he also saw Lekaya and Sylph, who were also looking at him with eager eyes and seemed to have the same demands as Carol.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe simply nodded to the three of them, indicating that they could leave without any worries.
The current situation does indeed resemble the reluctance and regret one feels when parting ways with someone who doesn't want to experience more separation.
So she confidently handed over this responsibility and experience to her boyfriend during their passionate romance.
Faced with the request from the three girls, Gu Xinghe readily accepted.
After seeing him nod in agreement, Carol, Rekaya, and Sylph smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Watching the three of them gradually disappear into the distance, Gu Xinghe seemed to genuinely feel a touch of melancholy at the thought of parting.
However, it was like a strict teacher suddenly checking homework.
Gu Xinghe saw that when the three of them were halfway there, the usually quirky Carol suddenly turned her head.
This was to test whether Gu Xinghe was truly still standing there watching them leave.
Upon sensing Carol's movement, Rekaya and Sylph also turned their heads in response.
Everything seemed to be just as they had imagined—
Gu Xinghe remained standing there, watching them leave.
Upon seeing the three of them turn around for a "surprise inspection," he gave them a gentle smile.
Perhaps it was because they saw Gu Xinghe still watching them after they turned around.
This time, Carol, Rekaya, and Sylph simply smiled, turned around, and continued walking forward.
However, no further "surprise inspections" were conducted.
But their steps seemed to be a bit lighter than before.
After seeing the three people completely leave, Gu Xinghe withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked into the alley he had come from.
Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon - Cat Cafe!
[Dungeon rewards are being settled]
Main Quest: 1/1
[Reward for completing the task: A commemorative gift for the opening of the cat cafe (already issued)]
Similar to the previously unlocked [Golden Apple Theater] instance.
The rewards for the [Cat Cafe] instance, which is also unlocked with tokens, are not very generous.
After returning to his room in the Rose Manor, Gu Xinghe placed the so-called commemorative gift for the opening of the cat café on his desk.
Just like at the Golden Apple Theater, this commemorative gift was given by the staff at the door when the customer was about to leave.
But unlike the small cloth bag that the theater had given them initially.
The commemorative gift from the cat cafe appeared to be much larger and heavier.
After opening the beautifully square gift box, Gu Xinghe saw what was inside—
A cat toy with a white feather and a bell that makes a sound to attract cats.
And, also neatly arranged in the box, were six cans of cat food.
Compared to the previous metal badge issued by the Golden Apple Theater, this one, though small, was exquisite and truly commemorative.
The commemorative gift from the cat cafe in front of him left Gu Xinghe unsure of how to evaluate it.
Especially when he saw the special precautions written on the can—
When it is [edible by humans].
Upon seeing this, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but recall the world he lived in before he transmigrated.
Indeed, there are quite a few strange pet owners who are very curious about pet food such as cat food and dog food.
Their adventurous spirit led them to discover quickly after trying these pet foods—
These pet foods actually taste pretty good!
I always felt that from the perspective of a cat cafe, cats were considered to have a much higher status than humans.
I recalled the waiter in the coffee shop who seemed to be transforming into a cat-like form.
Gu Xinghe felt that his idea might not be just a guess.
Then he remembered that the cat ear headbands that the café initially placed in front of each table of customers were, in a way, part of a commemorative gift.
After taking off the black cat ear headband that she was still wearing.
Gu Xinghe then recalled the way Eiffel had looked when he first saw him.
She seemed to show a slightly different expression, just like Carol and the other two.
Can wearing cat ear headbands help alchemical doll maids develop feelings?
Gu Xinghe felt as if he saw the words "Emotional Activation Progress +1, +1" above Eiffel's head.
After experiencing the issue of Sylph and the others cross-dressing.
Gu Xinghe began to think about whether he should prepare more unique items for future use.
Having learned his lesson, he simply put the cat ear headband, canned food, and cat toy that he had just taken off back into the gift box.
Then they were put into their own storage space.
Since the cat food cans are labeled as safe for human consumption.
If we don't find a suitable cat to enjoy this food in the future...
Let's save it for later, as it might be one of his food reserves.
But now we see that the storage space, which used to be a fragment of the magic mirror, has been transformed into a space using tentacles.
Shouldn't his storage space be renamed "Tentacle Space"?
However, after seeing his own chaotic tentacles, Gu Xinghe, whose thinking was now quite unpredictable, had a new idea.
As mentioned before, you yourself are the best research material.
Then, Gu Xinghe picked up a black mist tentacle that had emerged from his shadow, his eyes filled with fascination and curiosity.
Come to think of it, he doesn't seem to have really studied those misty tentacles that seem to coexist with him.
The moment this thought crossed Gu Xinghe's mind, he felt a subtle sense of fear welling up inside him.
Then, he saw that the tentacle he was holding was trembling slightly.
The tentacles are his extensions into the outside world, and the fear felt by the tentacles is, in another sense, the fear he feels.
So he began to comfort himself.
"It's okay, it's all me, what's there to be afraid of?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xinghe saw that the tentacles in front of him seemed to have withered a bit, as if they had lost all hope.
Seeing this, he laughed and began to persecute himself.
