I saw him push open the window and jump out of the window.

Qingdeng and the others finally arrived at the window after a delay of nearly 7 seconds.

Tonight is a bright sunny day.

Lying on this window and looking out - the bright moonlight cast by the waxing moon makes the shadow of the cat monk galloping on the roof of a shop outside the monastery grow long.

Cat Monk is really like a cat, walking on the ground with such a steep slope.

After passing over the roof of the shop, he jumped deftly into the open road between the houses.

His thin figure completely disappeared from the sight of Qingdeng and the others.

"Nishino-sama..." A certain Okahiki of Nishino looked out the window where the cat monk had disappeared, and then looked at Nishino beside him, "Are we... going to chase him?"

"No need." Nishino responded without hesitation, "In the past two months since taking on the case of 'Cat Monk', haven't you learned enough about Cat Monk's ability to escape?"

"When we rush out of the monastery and chase people, Cat Monk will have disappeared long ago."

Aoto holds the same opinion as Nishino.

Although he didn't have to deal with the cat monk for a long time like Nishino, he could see it from the pursuit of the cat monk just now - they couldn't catch up with him on the flat corridor just now, so let's run now

Chasing the little cat monk like a fish into the sea... Only a ghost can catch up.

"That person...is the Cat Monk...?" Qingdeng looked at the direction in which the Cat Monk disappeared and muttered softly.

After hearing Qingden's muttering, Nishino said calmly:

"After taking over the case of 'Mao Xiao Monk', I have already seen this Mao Xiao Monk at close range twice during the previous operations to arrest Mao Xiao Monk."

"I won't admit my mistake."

"Besides the cat monk, there is probably no other thief in Edo who has this kind of ability to fly over walls and walls."

Qingden couldn't help but look a few more times in the direction where the cat monk had just escaped.

This was the first time Aoden saw this phantom thief who had caused a lot of trouble in Edo.

Before this, Qingdeng had always heard of his name but had never had the pleasure to meet him.

It's exactly the same as the rumors I heard - Cat Monk is really a cat-like phantom thief.

The force-removing technique used by Mao Xiaoseng to break free from his control just now, as well as the palm that forced Qingdeng back, both left a deep impression on Qingdeng.

This extremely agile movement, this outstanding unarmed fighting ability... Qingdeng somewhat understands why no one has successfully caught this little cat monk until now.

Of course - compared to the rumored movement skills of Mao Xiaoseng, Qingdeng was even more stunned by the talent he had just copied from Mao Xiaoseng.

Qingdeng opened his personal system interface:

【Name: Tachibana Aoden】(?)

[Talents currently possessed:]

[Night vision, the talent of the sword, the god of sleep, the lone brave, the eagle eye, the left-handed, the strong body, the skillful hands, the strong tongue, the iron waist, the steel bones, the strong muscles, the cat turns around, the photographic memory, the ghost's heart,

milk】

The new talent: Milk, is now on the talent list.

However, this new talent is significantly different from the others on this list.

In the entire list, only the entry "milk" is dull and extremely conspicuous.

Qingdeng guessed: This probably means that this talent cannot take effect.

I copied a talent that didn't work... This was Qingdeng's first time.

Click on each talent entry in the list to review the specific content of that talent.

Qingdeng clicked "Milk", and a new virtual screen appeared in front of his eyes.

The RU produced is more juicy and nutritious - looking at the talent introduction written on the virtual screen, Qingdeng didn't know what kind of expression to show for a moment...

Does he still have such a talent...?!

Since that little cat monk has such a talent...doesn't it mean that she is not a male?

Qingdeng's expression became strange uncontrollably.

He never expected that some of the rumors in the market would actually be correct...the famous cat monk was actually a woman.

The big monster thief who stirred up troubles in Edo and couldn't be caught no matter how hard he tried, and brought the Edo Pension Office into disrepute was actually a woman... If this matter were to come out, I don't know how much damage it would bring to the Office and the market.

shock.

——Milk... If you calm down and think about it carefully, this gift is quite amazing... it can help your offspring grow stronger.

——I don’t know how old the little cat monk is, or whether she has a husband and children.

——If she has a child... I really want to see if her child is much healthier and stronger than other children.

Qingdeng's thoughts were diverging uncontrollably in strange directions at this moment...

——I don’t know how rich this “more nutritious” food is.

——If her husband drinks it...will it also be beneficial to the health and nutritional intake of adults?

At this time, Nishino's words interrupted Qingto's thoughts that were gradually developing in a wild direction.

"Tangerine. What happened just now?"

Encountering the cat monk in the monastery - Nishino became a lot more energetic after being aroused by this incident.

He asked Qingden with a serious face.

"Where did you meet the cat monk?"

…

…

Edo, the leased land, the Angoulême family's mansion, Elodie's room——

The maid Leroy, who was wearing an orange maid uniform and folded her hands in front of her body, whispered to Elodie beside her:

"Miss, it's very late at night, it's almost time to sleep."

There was a warm stove in the room, so Elodie, who was only wearing a thin white dress, was sitting on a chair.

This chair is slightly taller than the petite Elodie.

A pair of little white feet without socks were dangling there because they could not touch the ground, and the light red toenails were like ten small cherry blossom petals.

"Well..." Elodie answered her maid nonchalantly, "I'll read for a while and then go to bed..."

Elodie's legs were covered with a book as big as her entire face.

The pages of the book are still very new, but there are many defects in various places such as the footers.

Looking at Elodie who was reading a book extremely intently, Leroy opened his mouth, let out a silent sigh, and smiled helplessly:

"Miss, is this "Robin Hood" written by Mr. Alexandre Dumas so good?"

"You must have watched it more than 10 times, right?"

"I've read it so many times, why are you still reading it with so much interest?"

Leroy has been with Elodie for many years, and their deep friendship makes the relationship between the two women extremely close.

The relationship between the two women... is not so much that of "master and servant", but more like "sisters" who can joke with each other and talk to each other privately. The two women's private interactions are basically quite casual and friendly.

Robin Hood - a heroic figure in British folklore. Legends about Robin Hood have been circulating among the people since the 12th century. He was a forest hero who was good at using bows and arrows, often robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and acted chivalrously and righteously.

Later generations continued to use the legend of Robin Hood as material to compile a large number of popular stories.

The great French writer: Alexandre Dumas created a masterpiece - "Robin Hood" based on the work of his predecessors.

The book that Elodie is currently reading seriously is this popular novel that is currently a bestseller in France.

Hearing Leroy ask her this, Elodie raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile:

"Because Mr. Alexandre Dumas's "Robin Hood" is really beautiful! I will never tire of reading it a hundred times!"

Elodie closed the book on her lap and stroked the delicate writing with her little hands, her eyes flashing with longing.

"It's so cool to use all your skills to help the weak Mr. Robin Hood..."

The smile on Leroy's face grew a little thicker: "Miss, you really like this kind of story about 'the capable people helping the weak, robbing the rich and giving to the poor'."

At this point, Leroy suddenly paused.

"Ah... Speaking of 'robbing the rich and giving to the poor'... Miss, I heard a rumor this afternoon that you should be very interested in. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Rumors?" Elodie, whose attention was aroused, raised her head and winked at Leroy, "Miss Leroy, tell me what the rumors are."

"Miss, we have been living in Osaka before and have rarely heard about things in Edo. I didn't know until this afternoon that there was a man in Edo who specializes in stealing money from evil people. He is called the 'Cat Monk'."

'The Phantom Thief."

Specializing in stealing money from villains, the Phantom Thief... The moment after hearing these two words, Elodie's eyes immediately shone with excitement.

"Cat Monk?"
