Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 565 Is the name very long?
It was normal for Alice to have such thoughts. After all, a patrol police officer and two city government staff members appeared in front of a strange and mysterious shop. The shop was deliberately hidden in a narrow and dark corner of the street, avoiding the sight of residents. Everyone would doubt whether the shop had a history of fraud or was involved in some illegal transactions. Now was the time for justice to be enforced.

But Alice won't allow justice to be executed so early!

After all, she hasn't gotten her swimsuit yet. And Miss Lorena is such a cute, kind, sweet and weak girl. How could her workshop be involved in illegal activities? Someone must have thrown dirty water on her! Maybe a fat and bloated bureaucrat in the city government coveted her beauty and ordered his subordinates to do such a despicable thing! These guys who only deserve to appear as inferior villains have a very bad conscience!

As a true messenger of justice, for the sake of her own swimsuit holiday and for the innocent Miss Lorena, the golden-haired maid decided that it was time for a hero to appear!
and so.

She was held down by Lingge and Saint Xia Liya.

"Calm down, Alice." Saint Xia Liya gently persuaded her not to be so anxious. Besides, this was just your imagination. "Maybe things are not what you think?"

"What would that be like?" The golden-haired maid, who had seen countless similar plots in novels and games, asked back, feeling both justified and confident.

Linger had long given up on treating this guy's amazing brain circuit, so he would not persuade her like Saint Shallia did with the hope of saving her, but instead focused on the people outside the workshop. He saw the patrol officer knock on the door of the workshop, and soon there was a response from inside, and Lorena opened the door and walked out. Her figure appeared in Linger's sight, but surprised the young man - because the girl came out in a wheelchair.

What happened? When I saw her yesterday, she looked pale and weak, and obviously had a hidden illness, but she was not lacking in normal mobility, right? Why was she sitting in a wheelchair when we met today? Could it be that something happened to this mysterious girl in the past day, such as falling while eating or taking a bath?
"I understand." Alice popped her head out from the side again and said solemnly, "This is to show her weakness and win the sympathy and tolerance of the police. I didn't expect that Rorona would make such a sacrifice to keep her store. Wow! I am so moved!"

She wiped away her tears hypocritically, which made Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya speechless. They always felt that the truth was not like that.

Due to the distance, Lingge and the other two could not hear his words clearly. They only saw Lorena sitting in a wheelchair, flipping through the documents in her hand while listening carefully to the staff's explanation. She always had a faint smile on her face, and did not express any opinions on the contents of the documents. She just nodded from time to time to show that she understood. Such a cooperative attitude made the other party very satisfied, and her serious expression eased a little.

The police officer who knocked on the door was also surprised to see Lorena coming out in a wheelchair, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stepped aside and gave the two government officials who came with him the space to talk. One of them took out a document from the envelope under his armpit and handed it to Lorena in the wheelchair, while the other explained something to her with a serious face, probably explaining the content and meaning of the document to her.

When the three people disappeared at the end of the street and even their footsteps could no longer be heard, Ling Ge and his companions came out from the corner they had been hiding. At this time, Rolena, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was carefully folding the documents in her hand and putting them into her wide sleeves. She was about to push the wheelchair back into the store when she heard footsteps again. She looked up curiously and found that they were the customers who had ordered goods here a day ago. A sincere and sweet smile immediately appeared on her face: "Ah, it's you, good morning, are you here to pick up the swimsuits you ordered before?"

"That's right!" As soon as Alice mentioned the swimsuit, she forgot what happened just now and asked anxiously, "How is it, are our swimsuits made?"

The content of the document didn't seem to be long, and it was finished in about five minutes. After that, they didn't do anything else. Instead, they said goodbye to Rolena and walked out of the alley under the guidance of the patrol officer. The direction they left was different from the direction Lingge and the other two came in, so the latter didn't have to deliberately avoid them.

"Of course." Rorona replied with a smile, "As long as you pay the remaining balance, you can take them away anytime. The quality is absolutely top-notch. Whether you wear them as swimwear, underwear, or... um, as pajamas, it's all fine, okay?"

Well, this girl really doesn't shy away from this extremely open and bold clothing style that is ten centuries ahead of the others.

Linger and Saint Chariah, who had seen the drawings with their own eyes, had strange expressions on their faces, but Alice was overjoyed. Finally, someone could understand her artistic pursuit. She gave her high praise generously: "Good, very good, very good! In this way, my swimsuit holiday plan is just around the corner! If in the end, the audience gives a 10-point praise to the swimsuit, I think, Lorena, you can account for 5 points, uh, 3 points... No, 2 points! How about it, are you happy? Come on, cheer with me!" After that, she stretched out her hand, made a V sign to Lorena, and screamed: "Yeah!!!"

Ling Ge and Saint Charia simultaneously took a step to the side, avoiding Alice who had suddenly fallen ill. As for Miss Rorona who was sitting in a wheelchair, she didn't care that her contribution was repeatedly weakened by the mean golden-haired maid. Instead, she cooperated by extending her hand and making a V sign. Her beautiful sapphire eyes smiled into two crescent moons: "Yeah~~~"

Uh, there are actually people who cooperate with her.

Linger couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to interrupt this boring farce. He looked at the direction where the three people had just left and asked Rolena, "We can talk about the swimsuit later. What are the origins of those three people just now, and why are they here?"

He did not notice that this question seemed to exceed his position as an "ordinary guest", but he instinctively sensed that there was something wrong, so he asked naturally.

Rolena didn't mind his slightly overstepping question, but withdrew her hand and replied slowly, "The person who knocked on the door just now is the Minsk police officer in charge of patrolling the neighborhood. The other two are the staff members of the 'Rotdana City Sea Pollution Investigation and Control Committee' he brought with him."

"What a long name." Alice complained, "I can't remember it."

Saint Shallia was thoughtful when she heard this. She asked out of the blue, "What's the name of the dungeon in "First Fantasy: Four Warriors", Alice?"

The golden-haired maid blurted out: "The ruins of Linwell City at the end of the world!"

The surroundings fell silent, and an awkward atmosphere filled the silent atmosphere.

A few seconds later, Lingge spoke up, breaking the awkward silence: "It sounds like a department established to deal with the environmental pollution in Lotterdana City. Why didn't you mention it before?"

“Because I just found out about it.”

Rolena blinked her azure eyes and said innocently, "This investigation and governance committee was only established yesterday. It is said that yesterday a delegation formed by the Imperial Public Affairs Service Department and the Scourge Mission, a joint agency of the Order, arrived in Rothdana City. The leader of the delegation is Mr. Heng, the general manager and chief scientist of the Scourge Detection Bureau. On the afternoon of his arrival in Rothdana City, he convened a meeting with the heads of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, the Ship Administration Bureau, the Public Health Bureau, the Mining Bureau, and the heads of various mining companies responsible for specific prospecting and mining tasks... and other relevant personnel. It seems that there was quite a stir in the city government."

"The final result of the meeting was the establishment of the Sea Pollution Investigation and Control Committee."
