I'm a male god in Liyue

Rosalia, as the shop manager, greeted them and took in all the stray cats, then treated, cleaned, and bathed them.

At first, her movements were a little clumsy, but as she did it more often, she became more and more proficient at this care routine.

By noon, everyone thought the nearby restaurant they had eaten at the day before was pretty good, so they decided to go there again.

Xia Zhi then called Noelle and asked her and Yura to come over for dinner together.

However, Noelle told him that Yura-senpai did not come to the pharmacy for part-time work today.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

"Miss Yura isn't here?"

“Yes, Mr. Xia, yesterday Yura-senpai said she would come to the store to help out again today, but this morning she suddenly sent me a message saying that something came up and she was sorry she couldn’t come to the store, and asked me to find someone else outside.”

"Is it a guerrilla squad from the Knights Order on a mission?"

"It shouldn't be. I saw one of the guerrilla fighters come to the store to buy medicine this morning."

"Oh...then come over and have dinner with us later."

"Ok."

Xia Zhi nodded and hung up the phone.

Rosalia was feeding the cat dried fish next to him.

These are all legitimate fish that were caught and dried in the Guojiu Lake.

The two were close by, so she naturally overheard Xia Zhi's phone call.

Rosalia didn't look at him, remaining focused on feeding the cat, and asked seemingly casually, "Boss, isn't Yura coming over for dinner later?"

Xia Zhi shook her head: "She's not coming. She seems to be busy with something. She didn't go to the pharmacy today."

Rosalia responded softly, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

Last night, while she was taking a bath, she reminded Yura that someone in the Lawrence family was dishonest.

Yura didn't completely believe her at the time, but her expression turned rather unpleasant.

Considering she didn't go to the pharmacy today, she's probably already personally investigating the conspiracy between her family and the Fools.

Ha... at least you know what's good for you...

Thinking this, Rosalia suppressed the strange look in her eyes and returned to her indifferent demeanor.

She has always been indifferent to outsiders.

Xia Zhi, who played Xiao Bai, had accompanied her several times and had some understanding of her personality.

Generally speaking, Rosalia probably doesn't care whether Yura will come over to eat with everyone later.

She should be more concerned about whether the cats in the shop are hungry than Yura.

But then she suddenly asked that question.

He kept his head down and asked in a casual, almost unintentional tone.

This made Xia Zhi feel that something was rather intriguing.

So, after Rosalia asked about it, he activated his God's-eye view and used it to observe Rosalia's downcast face.

Sure enough, I noticed a change in her eyes.

She seemed very interested in what Yura was busy with today.

In addition to her identity as a nun—an executioner whose duty is to secretly deal with those who might be harmful to Mondstadt and to ascertain the true intentions of suspicious individuals…

And the intelligence document about the Lawrence family that Ms. Ningguang sent me this morning mentioned that the Lawrence family seems to be preparing to cooperate with the Fatui to cause trouble...

Xia Zhi smiled thoughtfully, feeling that things were starting to get interesting.

Rosalia heard his laughter and looked up at him.

"Boss, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something happy. Hurry up and finish feeding him, we should go eat."

"it is good."

Rosalia's gaze lingered on Xia Zhi's face for a moment longer.

It must be said that this generous boss has a really handsome smile.

In the afternoon, there were still many adventurers coming to the pet store to bring stray cats.

By the time the shop closed for the night, there were already more than fifty cats in the pet store.

If this growth rate can be maintained tomorrow, then the Adventurers' Guild's request for one hundred stray cats can be completed immediately.

We all went out for dinner together again, and as usual, we prepared to go for a walk.

However, Rosalia declined the invitation.

She said there were too many cats in the shop, and she wanted to stay and take care of them.

She doesn't plan to go back to the church dormitory tonight; she'll just rest at the shop.

Xia Zhi nodded and said that she had worked hard and that he would give her a bonus at the end of the month.

The main problem is that no one expected the adventurers to complete the quests so quickly—fifty cats a day—there simply wasn't enough time to recruit more people.

Xia Zhi plans to post the job advertisement outside the store tomorrow.

As for benefits and compensation, they will be determined according to the standards of Longlong Pharmacy. I'm sure many people will apply for the job.

Since it's a cat-themed pub, in addition to waiters, we'll definitely need bartenders and the like. Diona will be in charge of interviewing and vetting them.

At this moment, Qiqi stepped forward and said, "Master, I'll stay at the shop tonight too."

"Ok?"

“There are too many cats in the shop. Miss Rosalia probably can’t take care of them all by herself. Besides, cats are more active at night. Miss Rosalia has been busy all day and should get some rest tonight. I’m different. I’m a zombie, so I don’t need to sleep.”

"That's true."

“These cats are a bit wild, and they are prone to fighting when they are huddled together like this. I have a whistle in my hand, which can calm them down.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight."

"It's alright, Master."

My own apprentice is the most sensible.

Xia Zhi patted Qi Qi's hair with satisfaction.

Qiqi squinted her eyes.

Master's hands are still the warmest.

After everyone left, only Rosalia and Qiqi remained in the shop.

An orange cat stared at the round, plump magpie on Qiqi's shoulder, preparing to leap up and pounce on it.

As soon as she jumped, Qiqi grabbed the back of her neck and started whimpering.

"No naughtiness allowed."

Qiqi held the cat in front of her, stared at it, gave it a serious scolding, and then let it go.

After a while, another black cat stared at the cute little sparrow and prepared to jump over as well.

This time, Rosalia held him down.

This has actually happened many times today.

After all, for stray cats, catching pigeons and sparrows is a very normal thing.

Seeing such a plump finches swaying in front of me, I couldn't resist the instinctive urge to hunt.

Rosalia tossed the black cat a little further away, picked up the most obedient little white cat, and looked at Qiqi, asking, "Why would you keep a pheasant as a pet?"

"My master gave it to me."

"Oh."

"I also like the 'Tuanju' (a type of jaguar) myself."

"Oh."

The conversation between the two icy girls was indeed a bit stiff.

Several more times the cat came over and tried to pounce on the sparrow.

Qiqi felt that constantly stopping it was a bit troublesome, so she put a transparent spiritual energy shield on the peacock on her shoulder and put it aside.

That way, the cat can pounce on it however it wants.

After lunging many times, bumping their faces into the shield, the cats finally learned their lesson and stopped doing foolish things.

The night deepened.

Rosalia put away her phone and said to Qiqi, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. I'll be back soon. Please take care of them at the shop."
