Chapter 271 Furina Coincidentally Buys a Statue
"That's true. You can't tell from Zaoyou that she has a tall physique or the perseverance to get up early!"
Paimon nodded in strong agreement.
"By the way, thank you for investigating the rooftop. But now that the Heavenly Commander is taking over, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Uh……"
Upon hearing what Kujo Sara said, Hayato immediately became shy and awkward.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she chose to be honest.
"Actually... I overslept, that's why I didn't buy the doll..."
"You don't need to blame yourself too much. You stayed here all night and ended up encountering shady dealings in the sale of dolls. This isn't your fault."
After saying that, Kujo Sara waved her hand generously.
"This incident was caused by the evil deeds of criminals. At present, official business is the priority, and a plan for arrest must be formulated as soon as possible. According to intelligence, the suspect has already started reselling at high prices near the venue, but the location is very well hidden and the operation is very cautious."
“A direct pursuit might drive them to take risks and destroy evidence; a covert encirclement would require someone to first distract them.”
Just then, Funina appeared in their sight, skipping and hopping along, humming a tune.
"Ta-da! Guess what I found?"
"Furina, what brings you here? Didn't you say this morning you were going out for a stroll by yourself?"
Seeing Funinna suddenly appear, Hu Tao curiously looked her over, wondering what interesting thing she wanted to show.
"Haha, I bought a really cute doll~ Look, isn't it pretty?"
After saying that, Funina raised the statue of [the Great Master of the Imperial Guard].
"Huh?!"
Paimon stared in astonishment at the doll in her hand.
"Miss Funina, may I ask where you bought your doll?"
Sensing a clue, Kujo Sara looked intently at Funina.
"Uh... I was originally planning to take a boat to visit Haizhi Island. I heard that the Coral Palace there is very beautiful and perfect for taking pictures. However, after I finished visiting the Coral Palace... I had just returned to the pier of Narukami Island when I saw a man surrounded by several people."
"When I passed by, I heard them talking about dolls, so I decided to join in the fun and went over to see what was going on."
"His exact words were: '[Things are getting tense right now; I can't serve you unless you're referred by a regular customer.]' The other men left disappointed after hearing this. Just as I was about to leave, he called out to me with a smile, saying, 'Miss, I can tell at a glance that you are of high status. I have a Thor doll here; would you like it? Only 100,000 Mora.'"
After saying that, Funina smiled and put her hands on her hips.
"I only spent a measly 100,000 Mora to buy a limited edition Thor figure. I'm so lucky today!"
The people standing nearby sighed and rubbed their foreheads in exasperation upon hearing the figure of 100,000.
Paimon's performance was even more exaggerated.
"More... less?! Only a few hours have passed... Weren't the dolls originally 1,000 Mora each, and now they're 100,000?"
"Furina, I know you have plenty of Mora flowers, but... you're way too easy to rip off!"
As Hu Tao spoke, she clenched her fists.
"Those despicable resellers! They saw how easy it was to fool Funina and managed to swindle so many Mora out of her... How many coffins would they have to sell to make that back..."
