Chapter 193: The Illusionist's Favor What should appear in this situation is...
Alas!
I won!
If getting the SSR skills of Hagiwara and Matsuda all at once made Asam happy, then hitting Varudo with one shot... made Asam ecstatic to the point of being a little crazy.
Her paws froze in place, staring blankly at the skill book before her, mechanically clicking on her equipment. It wasn't until the skill lit up that it felt real. She clung to the trash can and giggled: "She's got it! A deadly hit! She's got what must be the most buggy human rights skill in the game—it freezes time!"
If it were some unspeakable strange game, the time-stopping skill would be used in a variety of ways... But Chaomu is certainly not that kind of person, and five seconds is indeed too short, but it is enough for her to reverse the situation at the critical moment or run away if she can't win... It's simply an invincible running skill!
In short, players are now very happy.
The feeling is similar to winning a five million lottery and worrying about the one-fifth unexpected income tax, and then discovering that you are actually the only heir of the world's richest man who has been missing for many years.
If it weren't for the two large dogs looking at her with a worried look of "Are you okay? Are you crazy?", she almost wanted to stand up and dance a raccoon disco on the spot.
"Woof... Xiao Chaomu? What's wrong, woof?" Hagiwara Kenji tentatively extended his paw and gently touched her stiff body. The gray raccoon before him remained motionless, one paw stuck in the trash can, its tail waving behind it at an almost frantic rate... The wind whipping Kenji's fluffy white fur into a flutter.
Jinpei Matsuda didn't know what was wrong with her - although this kid had gone crazy quite a few times, her current appearance was considered... "outstanding" among all the inexplicable excitements in the past.
"Are you okay?" He nudged the raccoon in front of him, shaking it back and forth. "Did the trash can suck your soul out?!"
"I'm fine!" Chaomu suddenly pulled back his claws, jumped up from the spot, turned 360 degrees in the air, and landed steadily between the two dogs. "I'm fine! I'm better than ever!"
She felt like she was the king of the world, the master of her own destiny, the woman at the top of the food chain. The Black Organization, Byakuran Jesso, and Geto Suguru were all vulnerable before the great and invincible Raccoon King!
As for Gin? That was all in the past. Reborn's previous mission restrictions had forbidden her from using any other unusual skills, but she hadn't yet mastered Time Stop. How could hitting Varudo be considered cheating? Absolutely not!
This huge, almost illusory feeling of happiness enveloped her the whole day. She took her two large dogs to go fishing with a shaky step, intending to repay her kindness with a hateful heart, or rather, intending to give her new good father, Mr. Kujo, a gift to announce her return.
Catch some fish and give him a sticky note.
She thought thoughtfully, "Jotaro will be so happy to see this."
Whether Jotaro was happy or not was another matter, but at least for now, Chaomu's joyful mood had also infected the two large dogs... They couldn't help but look forward to fishing.
Three furry heads—a raccoon head and two dog heads, one large and one small—crowded in front of the absurdly large fish tank in Jotaro Kujo's house.
The raccoon deftly pulled a fishing rod from his backpack with his paw and cast it into the clear water, sending small ripples flying. The Samoyed clutched the small bucket in its mouth, its tail wagging like a high-speed white propeller. The black Doberman lay beside him, a serious expression on his face, its paw holding the bait box, its eyes as if carrying out some crucial alert mission.
The next second, the fishing line suddenly tightened, and a colorful angelfish was thrown out of the water, drawing an embarrassing arc in the air.
"Whoa!" / "Woof!" / "Woof-woof!"
Three furry groups huddled together, scrambling to grab the fish struggling on the wooden floor. The poor fish bounced violently, but ultimately could not escape the claws of the evil little animals.
"I caught Wang!" Yaner Wang excitedly used his two front paws to hold down the lively angelfish, and his white tail swung wildly. The whole dog was as happy as a 200-pound child.
Matsuda pushed the bucket over with a cold, dog-like face. Only his eyes and movements revealed that he was actually enjoying it: "Put it in quickly, don't let it die, wang."
With the two of them helping out, Chaomu just cast her line. She casually cast the hook, watching the next fish bite with delight: Jotaro is the best, even the fish at home are so kind to him. He's worthy of being her favorite NPC! She wondered if there would be any rewards waiting for her from Ah Hua...
She went fishing with her large dog and took away most of the fish in the tank, intending to move them back to her own tank to keep Squalo company.
Before leaving, Chaomu wrote a few crooked words on the sticky note with his claws.
I'll keep the fish for now and return it to you someday (next time, for sure). Thank you for your hospitality. — by You Know Who I Am.
She quickly stuck the note on the edge of the fish tank, which had become much emptier recently. After thinking for a moment, she left a small box of pearls and noted "Tears of the Mermaid".
Since Aqiang is studying oceanography now, I think he would be quite interested in the tear pearls produced by the mermaids in the sea (Squalo:?). Generous players wouldn't mind leaving some for him... Anyway, she now has plenty of ways to make Squalo cry, and his tears don't cost money.
Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden quest: Greetings of Reunion | Raccoon Coins +20
[Achieve title: "Uninvited Old Friend" (Charm +10)]
The bucket filled with fish swayed, making a splashing sound in the Samoyed's mouth. Three furry figures lined up and marched majestically through the small garden below the apartment building.
Children passing by gaped at this strange procession—a small raccoon stalked ahead, followed by two enormous dogs. The white dog held a bucket in its mouth, and the black dog carried a fishing rod on its back, heading for their next fishing spot. Chaomu decided to make today a fishing trip and go out and catch some more fish.
"Little Chaomu," Yaner asked vaguely, the bucket muffling his voice a little, "Are we being too conspicuous like this?"
"What's wrong with being conspicuous?" Chaomu said, wagging his tail and walking briskly and confidently. "We didn't steal or rob. We were fishing openly."
Songtian Wang rolled his eyes and said, "But we stole half of their tank of fish."
"That's called borrowing! Jotaro and I are best... best friends! How can something between friends be considered stealing?" The raccoon said righteously, "I left the pearl as collateral, so rounding it off is a fair trade... Besides, there's no law that prohibits raccoons from slacking off. At most, it restricts humans."
If it were this morning, Matsuda Jinpei would definitely have refuted her by saying that they were also transformed from humans and not real dogs. But now, he sadly found that he had actually somewhat integrated into this identity and even felt that she had a point.
…Anyway, he and Hagi are both dogs today, and no one knows that they did it.
Thinking of this, when he chased the thrown baseball next time, his movements seemed to be without hesitation and he even seemed to enjoy it.
The three of them ran wild from day to night, from the tiles in the alley to the lawn in the park. The big dog's paw pads were covered in dust and its hair was matted.
Just before the transformation time was about to arrive, Chaomu took the time to send them back to the police apartment to avoid a socially fatal scene of a dog turning into a naked man outside. He also helped them clean their paw pads.
"Let's play together next time—but it seems like you'll have to start working overtime again after these two days of rest." She pinched the Samoyed's paw and shook it twice. "These two days are for Xiao Hagi to calm down, right? The bomb incident hasn't been completely dealt with yet?"
"That's right, Wang..." Thinking about work, Wang, a second-year graduate student, lay down listlessly, "There are still many doubts in this case that need to be reviewed, Wang..."
"None of those people will get away!" Matsuda was much more cheerful than him, his expression looking vicious. "Whatever Hundred Demons Society, whatever weird organization, just wait to be wiped out!"
The little raccoon clapped for them like a little seal, clapping, clapping, clapping, clapping.
She dropped them both off at their respective apartments and prepared to go home. After her mission was over, she wouldn't have to stay at Hagiwara's house anymore, so she planned to spend the evening with Mimi.
It was at this moment that her phone rang.
The moment Chaomu saw the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat: It was Teacher Reborn.
"Hello? Teacher?" She picked up the phone cautiously, "Why are you suddenly..."
"It's not that sudden." Reborn's tone sounded quite cheerful. "I just came to check on my students... You must have had a lot of fun today. As the old saying goes... 'Enjoy yourself and forget about home'?"
These words didn't sound like good things. Chaomu shivered as he stood in the corridor of the police apartment, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.
"Not, not so bad? I'll do the assignment the teacher assigns tomorrow!" She shook her head, throwing away the inexplicable feeling of unease. "Don't worry, teacher. I'm incredibly strong now. I can definitely beat Gin and kick Scotland. Tomorrow, we'll go straight to the Black Organization and beat them all down!"
"That mission isn't urgent. You can complete it anytime." Reborn's tone sounded as if he really didn't care. "But... it sounds like you really have forgotten 'that thing' completely."
...that thing? Which thing?
Chaomu thought for a long time but couldn't remember anything. He didn't dare to call Mr. Sparta a riddler, so he hesitated: "Specifically..."
"It happened this morning." The devilish teacher on the other end of the phone seemed to smile and answered mercifully, "You made an appointment with Yun Que yesterday. You were going to the training ground for physical training this morning, right?"
Chaomu: “…………”
……ah.
The dead memory gradually revived, and the player who lost his brain at the same time as getting the Zavarudo gradually remembered everything: It seemed that this happened, and at that time she was still wearing the vest of the Vongola lady...
"Looks like you remembered." Reborn's voice was filled with a hint of joy, as if he had already seen her miserable appearance being chased and beaten by Fu Ping Gui. "Hibari has been waiting for you at the training ground all morning... I guess your 'next' training should be very effective."
Does it mean that he will be beaten very badly?
"Miss Vongola has a date with him, what does it have to do with me, Little Raccoon?" Chaomu puffed out his chest and said confidently, "If you stand me up, then so be it. Anyway, there's no time machine, so that's it!"
Although she could indeed replay the game, the Zavarudo she drew would also disappear, so it would be impossible for her to replay the game.
Being hated by Yun Que sounds terrible, but too much debt is always a burden. Chao Mu's Little Raccoon vest was originally on Yun Que's blacklist, so he doesn't need the Big Miss vest to worry about him.
And what does she have to be afraid of now? She is the woman who owns the world! Little Skylark, how ridiculous!
"Very confident." Reborn seemed quite impressed by her courage. "Then I can only wish you good luck - Hibari will be staying at headquarters for the next two days, and Tsuna has plans to go on a business trip soon... If you plan to hide in the office, I'm afraid you'll need to find someone else to support you."
Brother, are you going out?... That's indeed a bit bad.
Chaomu's expression was bitter for a moment, but then he returned to normal under the mysterious confidence brought by smashing Waludo: "Don't worry, teacher, I am no longer the same person as before. Watch me beat Hibari Kyoya into a Hibari cake!"
Even if she can't win, sometimes stopping for five seconds is enough for her to run far, and she wins!
She hung up the phone happily, even finding the leisure to straighten her wind-twisted bangs in front of the dark phone screen. The face reflected on the screen was beaming with joy and elation, without a trace of guilt... absolutely not.
It was at this moment that she suddenly shuddered and became alert - she didn't know when the atmosphere around her changed.
A mark on the panel, long neglected and ineffective, ignited with indigo flames, and [Illusionist's Favor] gradually emerged. The corridor lights flickered eerily for a moment, their light distorted and scattered. On the wall, the slightly peeling paint seemed to wriggle at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye, cracks spreading like snakes.
Chaomu narrowed her eyes and, reacting with remarkable speed, pulled the Golden Raccoon vacuum cleaner from her backpack, aiming it at the patch of void that concerned her most. The light seemed to overlook that area, and someone seemed to "exist" in the distorted air, emitting a gloomy aura.
Is this some new horror movie set? Is Skylark coming for her? She remembered Skylark's abilities weren't of this type. This scene seemed more like something out of a horror movie... Was it one of those monsters called Cursed Spirits?
"Kufufufufu..."
Accompanied by a sudden, erratic laugh, the shadow at the end of the corridor began to wriggle and stretch like a living thing. The darkness became thick and deep, and then a "gap" opened up.
A slender figure in a well-tailored black suit "walked" out from the sticky darkness, step by step.
Chaomu: “…Hmm?”
She originally thought that some non-human creatures like crazy tentacles would extend out from there, but after seeing that the humanoid figure was a handsome guy with indigo hair and a pineapple head, she was a little disappointed: Why is it a human?
Apart from the heterochromia, the only thing about the young man in front of her was the slightly raised, pineapple-leaf-like ahoge on his head, which made her have a strange association: "If I pluck out the ahoge, will he turn evil and become an alien?" The rest... didn't quite fit in with the initial atmosphere.
It’s not that he’s not handsome, it’s just... she thought she would see a tentacle monster.
The pineapple-haired young man who met her disappointed eyes as soon as he appeared: "…………?"
Why was she looking at him like that...?
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Hi hi, cool appearance!
By the way, I'd like to bring you the pre-collected "For the sake of competitive balance, I have to talk about it all", which I'll open next time. Friends who are interested can collect it (heart)
I'm not planning on being so seamless this time, though. After the main story for Little Raccoon is finished, I'll probably have a week or two to write the side stories, plus the Bozui side stories. That'll be my favorite concentrated, cool-smoothing session. Like Bozui, Little Raccoon's side stories won't be divided into individual characters, but rather into groups. For example, there's a Shura field for the Vongola, a Shura field for the police academy, and a Shura field for pets. We'll see how far I can go with that.
The main text still needs to be completed, mainly the Curse Return of the Past and the faction battle in the tutor's home field. I will continue to write furiously tomorrow. Good night everyone.
