Chapter 153 The stealing cat and the big cat are eating.
…so hot…and sticky.
The scorching breath was powerful and irresistible, swallowing up the shells on the reef like a surging tide. The splashing water vapor was hot and steamy, making people's faces flush.
The physical feel of this game is really a bit too real.
For a moment, Chaomu felt like a clam being opened and steamed. Her thighs, resting on the man's shoulders, trembled slightly, her knees awkwardly tucked inward, only to be gently held down by rough hands.
At this moment, the posture that had just secured her victory seemed a bit shameful. She was now like a hapless sea clam, its shell slowly being opened to reveal its well-protected pearl.
"Wait a moment, Mimi, you... eh!"
Before she could finish her words, she jumped like a fish. The man whose name she had called out incorrectly did not respond to her call. Instead, he focused on his work, buried in his plate.
Cats are always protective of their food, and they are exceptionally focused while eating. The large black cat sharpened its fangs, slowly savoring its prey.
...It's killing me.
Chaomu thought in a daze.
Although she knew from their previous kiss that Mimi Moroboshi, no, Mimi Akai was very flexible and good at "acting coquettishly"... the big black cat always had the habit of nudging her palm with its wet nose, and only after confirming her permission would it lean over and kiss her reservedly; in such a scene, he used this set of actions quite skillfully, doubling its lethality.
Test, approach, and press forward.
Since entering the game, even when facing Gin, Chaomu had never experienced this subtle feeling of losing control. She tilted her head back, trying to pull herself away from the suffocating dizziness, but the tight grip around her waist pinned her in place.
"Shh...relax." The man patted her gently with his hot palm as if to soothe her, and whispered soothingly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to help you?"
I’ve said that…but this feeling is a bit too advanced!
The sense of shame wasn't a big deal; Chaomu simply felt that her current appearance was somewhat embarrassing. Unhappily, she tugged at his long hair, her movements far from gentle: "Let go... Don't move."
His scalp was pulled so hard it hurt, and the man hissed softly, but still cooperated and loosened his grip slightly, letting her adjust herself: "Okay, okay, as long as you're happy..."
Chaomu was satisfied.
She took a moment to find her center of gravity, and finally adjusted herself to a fairly satisfactory position with her palms resting on the sides, and slowly sat down.
What happened next was probably under her control—she was always quick to learn once she found pleasure. This position actually gave her a strange sense of security. If she wasn't satisfied, she could just squeeze it with her legs, do a cat head, or something like that… Of course, she probably wouldn't do that.
Just as Akai Shuichi had promised, she could ride on someone's head and act tyrannically, looking down at his face and pulling his hair when she was unhappy. He held her waist, his cold green eyes clearly showing some helplessness, but more of it was surging desire.
He was thirsty, his mouth dry, like a cat that hadn't had water all day, staring intently at the water source, his head raised, his tail swishing restlessly. Until his lips were moistened, the cat's tail swished and knocked over the cup on the low table with a clatter, spilling water all over the floor and staining his resolute jaw.
The girl kicked her legs and pinched his shoulders. She didn't have the patience to wipe the cat's mouth for the first time. But a mature cat would wipe its own mouth, not only cleaning itself, but also helping its owner clean the wet skin - using the usual cat cleaning method.
...When he sprouted cat ears, even though he looked human, he also had barbs on his tongue. Chaomu, who had just come back to his senses, was annoyed by the cat and pushed his head away, saying, "That's enough... I'm going to spit! Moroboshi... Akai Mimi, what's wrong with you?! Is this right?"
Akai Shuichi picked her up by the bend of her legs and casually pulled out a tissue. His tone, though a little hoarse, was quite calm: "Isn't that right? I thought you would say 'that's more exciting'."
Chaomu: “…………”
She leaned on his chest and fell into a brief moment of contemplation: It seemed that these were indeed the words she could say. In a sense, Moroboshi and Akai Mimi still understood her quite well.
"It's quite exciting..." After a short silence, she gave a fair evaluation, "I can try it again next time."
It seemed she was quite satisfied with his work, which was why she even arranged for the next time. Akai Shuichi carried her into the bathroom, glanced at the bathtub that had just been cleaned after the mermaid had soaked, and placed her on the sink. "If you like, we still have a lot of trial and error opportunities."
His behavior seemed similar to usual, and he cleaned the tub and filled it with water with unhurried ease. Chaomu sat at the sink, bored, watching him labor, but her eyes couldn't help but drift to the hem of his shirt.
...It doesn't look very calm over there.
But if he didn't say anything, she'd pretend she didn't know. She was already satisfied with today's encounter, and she didn't really want to spend time looking at the models she'd seen before—helping Mimi out took forever! The daily routine would refresh later, and she still had to go through the trash cans. After that, she'd check the time to go back to Hagiwara's house and have breakfast with him.
Shuichi Akai didn't have any plans to ask her for help or go any further - as he said, the cause of this matter was somewhat abstract, and he still had a sense of ritual in this regard; there were no necessary utensils at home, and he was not so anxious as to do so.
He filled the bathtub with water, his cat ears slightly erected, listening to the girl humming a song while swinging her legs on the sink, and in his heart he was waiting for her to speak.
...Compared to those things, what he cared about more was why she didn't ask him about his "real name"... He had been hiding his identity as Moroboshi Dai from her for a long time, didn't she care at all?
But Chaomu never asked - she really didn't think it was a big deal.
For players, it is very common that the characters they draw/recruit/meet at the beginning do not use their real names. It is also normal that the real names are released after the bonds, favorability and plot progress. Never mind that Mimi's real name is Shuichi Akai. Even if he has several other names that look like a room full of people and are actually the upgrade of a sniper group soul, she would not be too surprised.
She hummed a song out of boredom as she opened the system panel and saw that her combat quality had actually been upgraded to C+. Her eyes lit up: Great! After working so hard for so many days, she was finally not the noob who only had a D combat quality and had struggled to upgrade to a C!
The rewards for Reborn's physical training test this time were unexpectedly high. She didn't use the Raccoon Vacuum Cleaner or other skills in the fight with Shuichi Akai just now, so she completed the task directly.
Chaomu decided to strike while the iron was hot tomorrow and go explore her adoptive father's Scotland. Although her adoptive father had concealed his identity, he should still be easy to talk to. Given his friendship with her, he should be willing to go easy on her, right?
By the time she's done defeating Scotland, her combat prowess should be up to B rank. While it's still not as high as Gin's, with her stamina and other factors, she should be able to put up a fight. If she can't defeat him in one go, she can just grind it out. With the Vongola's special care, Gin probably won't let her restart.
Restarting the game doesn't matter, she's now a privileged monthly card player with the ability to save and reload anytime! Just save before important junctures, and replaying is quick. In short, no matter how you look at it, she has the advantage. The future of Little Raccoon players is bright!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she just started grinning at the air. After cleaning the tub and draining the water, Akai Shuuichi turned around and saw her smiling. There was no trace of "Mimi, you hid it from me for so long" or "Why did you hide your identity? Tell me now."
After thinking for a long time and trying to decide his words, Akai Shuichi said: "......"
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly. He stood in front of her and patted her head gently: "Xiao Mu?"
"Hmm?" She finally raised her head from her reverie and looked at him with her bright golden eyes. "What's wrong?"
Those eyes were always like this, flashing with straightforward innocence, animal-like innocence and childishness, as if "in this world", nothing could bother her too much.
...It looks like he really hasn't thought about it.
Akai Shuichi didn't know whether to be frustrated or relieved, and slowly bent down: "I have hidden something from you before... I have to tell you."
Regardless of whether she cared or not, he had to explain it to her. He shouldn't hide anything from her anymore, and now she wouldn't be put in danger by him—she could protect herself, or maybe she was the danger itself.
His tone was quite formal, and Chaomu came to his senses and became serious. "Is this the confession scene triggered by the full bond?" Mimi was probably going to say something like, "I'm sorry for hiding this from you, but I had no choice," "Actually, I'm the cursed prince of the Black Cat Kingdom, and only after I found your true love did the curse end and I was able to release my true name." Then, three, two, one, they'd start making dumplings, oh no, sushi, and ask her if she'd be willing to be the mother of the next prince.
After all, with the neon background, I feel that this development and the conversation about the child are inevitable. Mimi has said things like "I am a man after all" before... It's such a classic that it seems a bit wrong not to come back like this.
So, does this game have a breeding feature? Should I buy a mermaid pendant and build an extra nursery? If I don't like children, can I ask a witch to turn them into pigeons after giving birth? What will a raccoon and a black cat produce... a raccoon cat? A black bear?
When going through the confession plot, the skip party players' thoughts were wild and imaginative. They had already thought about whether the child would be born alive or laid from eggs if Squalo triggered this kind of plot in the future, and whether there would be reproductive isolation. According to the game settings, it seems that the mermaid will most likely hatch the eggs. Wouldn't it be possible to see Squalo laying eggs... that would be very beautiful.
When she came to her senses and looked at the conversation, Chaomu realized that the plot she triggered seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined.
Mimi Akai told her that he was actually an undercover agent for the American FBI, willingly stepping into danger for his missing father. Dai Moroboshi was his fake identity, and if she ever revealed her acquaintance to others, she would have to call him Moroboshi outside.
The romantic bond plot suddenly turned into a spy drama. Chaomu blinked and looked at the unlocked side quest [Go Deep! Undercover in the Black Organization!], and fell into a brief contemplation.
"No wonder your faction was always shown as unlocked before..." She clicked on his panel and saw that his faction had changed to the red side. Suddenly, she realized, "Unknown factions still need to be explored through the storyline to unlock them."
Shuichi Akai's panel names are very long.
After she discovered that Dai Moroboshi (codename Lei) worked for the Black Organization, her name was displayed as [Black Side]. Now, following his confession, his original name has been added. Akai Shuichi's name is displayed as [Red Side]. And the name "Mimi," which she had given him, is displayed as [Gray Side].
Chaomu was stunned: Isn't this a nesting doll? How can he have so many factions?
If possible, she'd actually like to jump back and forth between factions, grabbing all the rewards... However, there's currently no button on her faction panel to change factions, so it probably depends on her subsequent actions: for example, if she kills a few more Red Team members and becomes wanted, she might become a Black Team member...
However, the camp is not the focus at the moment.
The man before him lowered his eyes slightly, as if awaiting his "master's" judgment. Regardless of whether Chaomu cared or not, he clearly felt sorry for his concealment.
His expression was unusually solemn; his seriousness, calmness, and sudden righteousness made him seem even more charming than before; but his clothes were still messy, and Chaomu didn't know why he felt a little agitated just looking at him.
She beckoned him to come closer.
