Saifei'er actively controlled her ears, wiggling them slightly. She found that by adjusting the angle of her ears even a little, she could hear sounds from completely different places.
The benefit of this was that Saifei'er could selectively use 'super hearing' to listen to what she wanted. If she didn't want to hear, she could also actively droop her ears to block this 'super hearing', ensuring she wouldn't be kept awake by noisy sounds while sleeping.
Looking at Ailiya, who was still packing, Saifei'er waved and said, "I'm heading down first!"
Then, she quickly walked out of the room and returned to the first-floor hall. The moment Saifei'er walked over, Douglas, who had been loudly discussing the beautiful women around them, immediately coughed and then put on a profound expression:
"Fei, do you still remember that exhilarating battle in Troy City? Sigh, thinking about it now, I feel so nostalgic. If I had the chance, I'd really like to spar with that brave warrior again!"
Saifei'er, who had just sat down, gave a questioning look.
Even Fei, who had been buried in his book the whole time, couldn't help but look up and glance at Douglas. The corner of his eye twitched slightly, but he still didn't say anything to expose him.
Douglas then turned to Saifei'er. He smiled and said, "Little Saifei'er, you've come at just the right time. We were just talking about my heroic battle where I fought three people alone. Would you like me to tell you the detailed story?"
Saifei'er, however, said expressionlessly, "But weren't you just talking about the female warrior's chest muscles next door?"
Douglas exclaimed in shock.
Fei let out a small laugh.
Douglas was completely stunned, "Uh... wh-what?"
Saifei'er pointed at her ears, "I heard everything just now. Don't mind me, just keep talking."
Douglas couldn't help but show an awkward and embarrassed expression, "No, no, no, no matter what, talking about such things in front of a lady is too..."
Saifei'er interrupted, "Didn't you say you wanted to go talk to that female warrior? I can hear that their table is also discussing you, and that female warrior seems quite fond of you. Do you want to try? Maybe you'll really succeed!"
This was a lie, because at this time, there were only two tables of people in the Adventurers' Guild, so the table next door was indeed discussing Douglas and Fei. However, what the female warrior actually said was:
'That big guy looks so annoying, he's blocking my view of that mage!'
'Sure enough, I still prefer cute little boys like him~'
At this moment, Saifei'er's purpose in telling Douglas to go talk to her was very clear: revenge!
Why did this guy tease her for being 'innocent' earlier? Although it was true, now that she had a chance for revenge, how could she let it go?
Hearing Saifei'er's words, Douglas's face visibly flushed, "She... she really said that?"
Saifei'er, without batting an eye, made up, "Of course!"
But the next second, Douglas shook his head, "No, never mind. Actually, compared to such strong women, I still prefer a more petite type..."
Saifei'er then pointed to the female staff member who was wiping tables not far away. She had long brown hair tied into a single ponytail, was about 1.6 meters tall, and had a cute round face with a few freckles. Her only drawback was probably that her chest was almost completely flat.
Saifei'er said, "What about her then? Doesn't she perfectly match your preference? I also heard her praising you as handsome when she was talking to other staff members backstage!"
Upon hearing this, Fei seemed to realize something. He glanced at the female warrior and the female staff member, and the corner of his eye twitched again, but he still said nothing, not exposing Saifei'er.
Douglas, however, was completely oblivious. He stammered, "R-really? Am I finally having some luck with women today!?"
Saifei'er chuckled, "Of course it's true! Go and talk to her! Trust me, you'll definitely succeed!"
Douglas stood up, took a deep breath, and then... sat back down with a thud. He said, "I thought about it again, and I suddenly realized that I still prefer beastfolk. Those fluffy ears and tails are really alluring."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Saifei'er's chest and then added, "Especially petite beastfolk. I really can't accept big chests."
In this world, beastfolk were not the green, tusked creatures, but a general term for races like catfolk, foxfolk, bearfolk, and so on.
Fei, upon hearing this, immediately looked at Douglas with a shocked expression. He suddenly realized that in the past, this guy would often talk big to him, 'appraising' various women he met during his adventures, acting like a complete old pervert. But Fei hadn't thought much of it. Now, recalling it, Douglas seemed to only dare to talk, but never actually approached anyone.
Saifei'er frowned slightly and said directly, "But when you first met me, didn't you say you didn't like beast ears and tails?"
Douglas didn't speak, but Saifei'er could feel him suddenly straighten his body. Drops of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead, which inexplicably reminded her of a phrase.

After a while, Douglas stiffly turned his head, not daring to look directly at Saifei'er. He stammered, "W-was there such a thing?"
At this moment, Fei finally spoke, adding, "Yes, there was. I remember it very clearly."
Douglas's eyes immediately widened like gongs. He looked at Fei with a shocked expression, as if saying, 'Brother, how could you betray me!'
At this point, Saifei'er finally realized the 'core reason'. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a cute little canine tooth. Suppressing her laughter, she said, "You... you wouldn't be scared, would you? You talk so big, but you don't even dare to approach anyone?"
"Thud!" Douglas, this two-meter-tall strong man, slammed his head onto the table with a muffled thud, "I'm sorry, I'm a good-for-nothing who's thirty years old and has never had a girlfriend, and was therefore kicked out of the War Church, boo hoo hoo!"
Fei was speechless.
Saifei'er was speechless.
For some reason, upon hearing this, Saifei'er felt a strange sense of sympathy for him. What kind of strange church was this, where you'd be kicked out for not having a girlfriend?
What did single people ever do to you!?
Just then, Ailiya, who had finished tidying the room, returned to the hall. She sat next to Saifei'er and looked at Douglas confusedly, "What's wrong with him?"
Saifei'er casually said, "Nothing, he's probably hungry... So what are we eating tonight?"
She felt sympathy, but it was short-lived.
Ailiya was startled by this and quickly waved to a staff member, saying, "Oh, if you're that hungry, you should have ordered first! You didn't have to wait for me. Just hold on, I'm ordering right now!"
Fei was speechless.
Saifei'er was speechless.
