About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Ch'en and Kelsey discuss the potential eavesdropping on their conversations, revealing their concerns about being monitored, particularly in light of their recent interactions with Orson. Kelsey realizes the implications of their situation after recalling events from the previous night, and both she and Ch'en worry about how their identities might be compromised. Orson, having been humorously sidelined by Kelsey and Ch'en, struggles to assert his role while trying to devise a plan that keeps him off the radar of their monitors. He proposes creating a persona of a clueless admirer of Ch'en and Hoshiguma to mislead their watchers, which they tentatively accept as a viable strategy. Kelsey, however, is left feeling sidelined from the action, tasked with gathering intelligence alone. As the three set off in Qie City, they attract attention due to their unusual combination of individuals – a policeman and two unique girls – while secretly carrying out their mission. Orson demonstrates his skills in counter-surveillance, identifying a tail without alerting anyone, which impresses Ch'en despite her past experiences with such techniques. Their plan evolves in real time, and they discuss the risks involved in their environment. When Ch'en and Hoshiguma get distracted by a clothing store filled with swimwear, Orson is left to jog after them, ultimately creating a scene that catches the attention of their pursuer who deems him a “scumbag.” The chapter highlights their interactions marked by humor and tension, as they navigate the complexities of their mission interspersed with personal dynamics.
