"Mr. Tartaglia, why did you do that...?" Kirara couldn't understand Tartaglia's actions.
"Even if we had to compensate for all the damaged packages, it wouldn't have cost this much..."
"It was the Traveler who asked me to do this," Tartaglia replied with a smile.
"He probably feels guilty because, due to him, your deliveries were delayed and damaged."
"So he specifically asked me to make sure no one left you a bad review."
"It's just a few bad reviews, it's not like I'm that fragile..." Kirara said.
"But, Tartaglia, you spent so much money for me, I really feel bad about it..."
"It's fine. All expenses and costs for us Fatui Harbingers are covered by 'Regrator'—Pantalone."
"As his title suggests, that guy is very rich. A mere million Mora is nothing to him."
After that, Tartaglia accompanied Kirara as she delivered the rest of her packages one by one.
Some of the recipients were Kirara's regular customers, so they understood her situation and had no intention of giving bad reviews.
But for those who did want to leave a bad review, the moment they saw Tartaglia's kind gaze, they all ended up giving her a good rating instead.
Tartaglia couldn't understand it—his expression was clearly warm and friendly, so why did they all seem so afraid of him...?
Even when he offered them money as compensation, none of them dared to accept it.
Finally, Kirara and Tartaglia arrived at the last delivery stop—Chiori's Boutique.
Once this final package was delivered, Kirara would finally be able to take a short break.
The moment Chiori saw Kirara, she couldn't help but say, "Well, I'll be damned—did you get into a fight with some Specter on the way? Why are you so dirty?"
But when she noticed the bloodstains on the package Kirara was carrying, her expression shifted to concern.
"Kirara, what's with the blood on your package? Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing, Chiori! I'm not injured. I just had to transport a wounded person along the way..." Kirara scratched her head and explained. "But some of your fabrics might be slightly damaged or stained with blood..."
"Forget it, that's a minor issue. As long as you're okay, that's what matters," Chiori said.
Hearing this, Tartaglia, who had been standing beside them, nodded slightly and let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he had perfectly completed the Traveler's request—no one had left Kirara a bad review.
But in the next moment, Chiori continued, "That being said, Kirara, even if you encountered an emergency, you could have handled things better."
"For example, you could have added extra layers of packaging around the fabric and placed it in a sturdier box. That way, this wouldn't have happened."
"So... I'm still giving you a bad review! I hope you'll keep improving."
"Of course, I won't write it down in the delivery feedback form—this is just my personal, verbal, private bad review. Think of it as motivation for you to do better."
"Mhm, mhm, I understand, Chiori!" Kirara nodded eagerly.
Tartaglia was momentarily stunned.
Why is this Miss Chiori playing by her own rules?
Doesn't this mean all my efforts just went to waste...?
Although he still didn't understand why the Traveler didn't want anyone to give Kirara a bad review, Tartaglia couldn't shake the feeling that there was some hidden reason behind it...
"Kirara, since I've received my goods, I have some matters to attend to as well. I won't be keeping you two any longer," Chiori said.
"Alright, Chiori! Actually, Mr. Tartaglia and I also have some things to take care of, so let's part ways here," Kirara responded.
But in reality, despite saying their goodbyes, once they stepped out of Chiori's shop, they all ended up walking in the same direction.
"Kirara, let me ask—where exactly are you headed?" Chiori suddenly asked.
"The hospital. We have a friend who's injured and currently hospitalized—it's the one I carried earlier," Kirara replied.
"What a coincidence, I'm also heading to the hospital. Looks like we don't have to part ways just yet—we're going the same way!"
When Kirara, Chiori, and Tartaglia returned to the Traveler's hospital room, they found that there were many people inside.
"You're back," the Traveler raised his hand in greeting.
"No one gave Kirara a bad review, right?"
"Traveler, why do you care so much about whether anyone gave me a bad review?" Kirara asked in confusion.
"Traveler, I didn't complete the task you gave me," Tartaglia said with some helplessness.
"This Miss Chiori still gave Kirara a private bad review..."
"Miss Chiori..." The Traveler looked at Chiori, who was standing behind Kirara and Tartaglia.
The last time Kirara had been controlled by something eerie, the head of the person who had given her a bad review didn't include Chiori...
"Everyone! Quickly stay away from Kirara!" The first to react was Su Yuan, who shouted anxiously.
"Kirara has been controlled by something eerie!"
"Clorinde, evacuate the hospital!" Neuvillette also spoke up.
Upon hearing Su Yuan's words, Chiori immediately backed away from Kirara, while Tartaglia was still somewhat confused about what was happening.
The Traveler shouted at Tartaglia, "Listen to Su Yuan, stay away from Kirara!"
Seeing the Traveler's serious expression, Tartaglia glanced once more at Kirara.
From their reaction, it seemed like Kirara had been controlled by some evil force, but he hadn't felt anything strange about her when he was near her...
Tartaglia had been through many battles and hardships in the Abyss, so he was quite sensitive to dark forces.
But right now, he didn't feel anything wrong with Kirara...
However, seeing everyone around him on high alert, Tartaglia began to doubt his own judgment and ultimately decided to stay away from Kirara...
Faced with the sudden actions of the others, Kirara looked even more panicked: "Eerie? Controlled? What are you all talking about?"
"Hmph~ Eerie, stop pretending. We've already seen through you," Su Yuan sneered.
He hadn't expected that, even at this point, Kirara—controlled by something eerie—was still pretending!
Could it be because there were too many unrelated people around?
She didn't want to reveal her true nature yet.
Just a moment ago, Neuvillette had already instructed Clorinde to evacuate the hospital crowd.
The fact that the eerie presence didn't want to reveal itself was actually a good thing for them; it could help avoid unnecessary casualties.
"Hey... can someone please tell me what's going on?" Kirara asked with a helpless look, turning to Chiori.
"Chiori, what's happening? Why is everyone suddenly isolating me?"
Chiori also frowned slightly.
Su Yuan's words had made her realize that the condition for Kirara's eerie transformation might have been triggered by receiving a bad review.
Although she had inadvertently given Kirara a verbal bad review, she hadn't felt any changes in her behavior...
Chiori even began to wonder if Su Yuan had made some kind of mistake...
