Chapter 386 I want to mail something
As soon as Qi Liangliang spoke, everyone at the table turned to look at her, startling the kitten, who instinctively shrank back.
"W-W-W-W-Is something wrong?"
Xu Ning slammed the Dust Concealment Gourd onto the table. "That's absolutely right."
Yae no Miko lazily patted the little cat's shoulder and said, "The old man's son went to join the army and disappeared. All family letters are collected by the military and distributed by designated personnel. Now that they've been sent from the Desolate Sea through Komahaya, there are only two possibilities: either he never joined the army, or..."
“…He deserted.” Xu Ning interjected, “In Inazuma, if someone deserts and is caught, will they be ordered to commit seppuku?”
Yae no Miko laughed and said, "I don't know about that. You'll have to ask that wooden general who enforces the strict laws."
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "After all, I've received a meal from Granny Rie. Now that I've heard news of her son, I should at least help look for him. Miss Qi Liangliang, after we finish eating, could you please take me to the place where he sent the letter to look for it?"
Kira frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowing in distress. "But after dinner, I still have to deliver a package to Komahaya..."
"Oh, it's my fault."
Xu Ning smiled gently and didn't mention helping out again during the meal.
This made Qi Liangliang feel rather uneasy. As the dinner was about to end, Qi Liangliang said to Xu Ning apologetically, "If you have time, you can come with me to Komahaya. There is a map of Inazuma that is the largest and most complete. I can help you point out the location where that person appeared."
Xu Ning paused for a moment and then smiled. The little cat was really kind-hearted. Besides, he was going to Komahaya anyway, so it would be perfect to have her lead the way.
Xu Ning paid the bill for everyone and then packed two large portions of sushi for Qingyi and Master Ji, which he then handed to Shen He.
Master Ji had been exposed to some evil spirits on Bayun Island last time, and the little thing was somewhat averse to alcohol and refused to drink much, so Xu Ning had no choice but to let it stay in the cave for a while longer.
After calling Qingyi out of the kitchen and stuffing her back into the dust-hidden gourd to eat sushi, Xu Ning bid farewell to the two priests who were unwilling to take over the Narukami Shrine, and followed Qi Liangliang to Komaha-ya, a famous courier company in Inazuma.
"I thought Komahaya would set up its headquarters on a remote island, but I never expected it to be in Inatsuma Castle."
Hearing Xu Ning's exclamation, Qi Liangliang smiled and said, "There are also islands, but they are mainly for large-scale cargo distribution. This place mainly handles letters, gifts, and daily necessities. Please wait here for a moment. I need to speak with the manager before I can take you in."
Xu Ning waved his hand and laughed, "There's no need to go through all that trouble, just send a package."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he smiled and walked towards the counter.
Looking at Xu Ning's smile, Qi Liangliang felt inexplicably uneasy. "Sigh, but why aren't you going to find that..."
"Hello, I'd like to mail something."
"Okay, what is the approximate volume and weight of the item?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment, then pointed to himself, "About the same size as me, and about the same weight as me... Oh right, it has to be a specific item!"
Qi Liangliang panicked even more and stood to the side asking, "Lord Xu Ning, what do you want to do..."
Xu Ning ignored her and continued to explain to the shop assistant, "Although this is an urgent item, it may take quite a while. I am willing to pay three times the deposit in advance."
Who wouldn't like such a generous customer? The clerk quickly and efficiently completed all the formalities, then called out to Qi Liangliang, "Qi Liangliang, here's your designated document!"
Qi Liangliang knew exactly what Xu Ning was planning to do, so she quickly pulled him out of the courier shop and turned him to the back corner.
"You've placed an order? Do you want me to take you to the other side of the desolate sea?"
Xu Ning spread his hands and smiled, "It won't interfere with your work, and I can ask you for help at the same time. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
After a long silence, Qi Liangliang could only smile wryly and ask, "Welcome to Komaha-ya. Would you like your goods packed?"
Xu Ning appreciated Xiao Maoyou's sense of humor and laughed, "No need, after all, I don't know what kind of label you'll put on the seal of my box. Okay, I'll take you to find a faster route first, and try to find that guy as soon as possible."
When the two appeared together on the top of a small mountain in the desolate sea, Qi Liangliang was still not fully recovered from the advanced and convenient way of traveling by teleportation anchors.
"This is just too too... amazing!!"
Qi Liangliang finally exclaimed excitedly, "So this is how buildings on this earth are used? What an efficient way to deliver packages! If you were in the courier industry, I'm afraid no one could surpass you!"
Xu Ning was amused by Qi Liangliang's words, "Alright, first point out where you met that person!"
Qi Liangliang led Xu Ning to the foot of the cliff at the northernmost edge of the desolate sea. "I first met him here. After he learned that I was a courier, he gave me a letter and told me to come every two weeks if possible."
"But I haven't seen him since I passed by here more than a month ago."
Xu Ning nodded, looked around, and imagined how that person might appear.
Are there people living on those islands to the north?
Qi Liangliang immediately shook her head. "Those are two connected islands, no one lives there, but it is said that pirate ships will stop there when they pass by, so no one goes there unless there is a reason."
Xu Ning pointed there, "Then let's go over there, maybe the person we're looking for is there!"
Qi Liangliang exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you mean, this person not only deserted but also became a pirate? If Uncle Chai knew, he would probably cry his heart out!"
