Chapter 129 No, the store is gone.

129.

Dazai Osamu used a speed far beyond his own ability to leap over and cover Nakajima Atsushi's mouth tightly: "Ah - I didn't say anything."

"Are you shy?" You scratched your ear, wondering, "What's there to be shy about?"

"No, I'm not shy, and I'm not happy either."

"Oh." You held out your hand expressionlessly, "Who cares if you're happy or not, just hand over the book."

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face froze, his eyes wandered, and he began to laugh and change the subject: "Ah, suddenly I saw a cherry tree that is perfect for hanging. Wow, the trunk is so straight..."

Just as you were about to tell the cunning fish king to stop talking nonsense and change the subject, a surprised voice came from the door: "Mr. Cat!"

Edogawa Ranpo, who returned to the detective agency with Fukuzawa Yukichi, saw you as soon as he opened the door. He didn't even care about the snacks in his arms, and rushed over and bumped into your arms: "You're finally back!"

"I knew Mr. Cat would come back!"

After rubbing his head in your arms for a few times, Edogawa Ranpo let go of you, opened his eyes, and looked you over carefully from head to toe.

As if he had gained some very important information, he quickly took out his glasses, put them on his face, and looked at you seriously again.

For some reason, it's like taking an X-ray and the doctor looks at your explicit photos for a long time with a frown on his face, but he doesn't say a word. It's that subtle, nervous feeling - it makes you worry that you are beyond help.

"Mr. Cat won't choose the other side!"

The angry Edogawa Ranpo bared his teeth and claws in protest. The way he looked at you now was almost the same as a cat seeing its owner carrying a cat back on his back: "Ahhh, Mr. Cat, why did you give away the snacks of the famous detective?! No!"

It turns out that high-IQ NPCs can interact across scenes? You sighed, it's really amazing, no wonder the other Edogawa Ranpo specifically said before you took Odasaku away: "The snacks are delicious, I like them very much."

It turns out that it was meant for Luanbu here.

Ranpo Edogawa calmed down and you don't know what he was thinking. His mood soon improved and he came back to your side, asking for snacks with a righteous look.

Since every time you feed Edogawa Ranpo snacks, his favorability will increase rapidly, you have become accustomed to putting two separate grids of snacks in your backpack, but this time...

“No more.” You scratched your tail, innocently, “I gave it to another one.”

You left Honmaru in such a hurry that you didn't take the snacks made by Mi-chan with you.

"Liar!" Edogawa Ranpo retorted, looking at you angrily, "Mr. Cat, there are still some, right? Delicious little cakes!"

"No." You said righteously, "This is Mi-chan's special luxurious cream strawberry cake, and Cat Man won't give up even an inch of it!" This is the previous stock, and you don't have any more before the candle stand is cut and a new one is made.

"Stingy!"

"I won't give it to you even if I'm stingy." You wagged your tail calmly, "Unless you give your treasured glass beads to the cat."

I've wanted Edogawa Ranpo's glass beads for a long time. I feel like they should be added to the backpack collection page, just like Kokou's glasses, Kosuke's ahoge, and Dazai Osamu's bandage.

By the way, the things with knife patterns that I stole from the knife men in the past are also in the grid of the backpack collection page.

Xiaozhu's ahoge was contributed by Xiaozhu voluntarily. It was definitely not something you secretly cut with a pair of scissors while he was sleeping!

"Hmph!" Unhappy, Edogawa Ranpo turned his head and said loudly, "Hateful Mr. Cat!"

In fact, Oda Sakunosuke, who had just stacked the boxes in the corner after following Fukuzawa Yukichi, came over and saw this scene. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a good relationship."

Yoseno Akiko's eyebrows jumped when she was disturbed, and she said helplessly: "Hey, hey, isn't this just a quarrel between children because of jealousy?"

Izumi Kyoka, who had just joined the detective agency, held a bunny doll and half of her head popped out from behind Oda Sakunosuke, giving you a longing look: "Cat cat..."

"Oh? Kosuke, you have a new child again?" Leaving behind the sulking Edogawa Ranpo, you walked over to Oda Sakunosuke and looked at Izumi Kyoka, "Oh, this child looks a lot like you... but the ahoge part is better than yours."

"Is Xiaozhu's true form really Aho-mo?"

"Is that so?" Oda Sakunosuke thought, and the aho-hair on his head jumped up and down. "It turns out that my true form is aho-hair."

"Yes meow yes meow."

Izumi Kyoka looked at Oda Sakunosuke, then at you, as if she had learned something, and the ahoge on her head moved seriously.

"Hey! Kyoka is not Mr. Oda's child at all!" Kunikida Dopo snapped after closing his computer, "Mr. Oda is the same, don't always get used to this guy and Dazai!"

"Eh..." Dazai Osamu, who had been watching the show, put on a sad expression, "Am I such an unreasonable person in Kunikida's eyes? Sob, sob."

"What else?" Kunikida Dopo pushed his glasses, which flashed white light, and said coldly, "Your bandage is a waste of equipment."

"Ah——" Dazai Osamu took a few steps back, holding his heart, "Kunikida actually——"

"You actually made such a sharp complaint!"

…

The detectives welcomed your return to varying degrees.

I felt the joy of returning players.

Even though you haven't quit the game at all.

Kunikida Doppo introduced you to the new member of the detective agency: the very strong Kenji Miyazawa, who was brought back from the countryside by the president. Being very strong is good, because there is one more NPC to rob, or borrow to move bricks. His name is also very familiar... Oh, the vegetables you stole seem to have been grown by this NPC...

As a student, Junichiro Tanizaki can create illusions, and his sister Naomi Tanizaki - the sister is a beautiful NPC, so cute. Illusions are great, if they are well developed, they can be used to build large mazes in amusement parks! The future workers are really capable.

Why would a pretty girl throw herself at Junichiro Tanizaki? And at the same time make some sounds that are suspected to be 18+?

Just when you were about to ask what was going on in confusion, the two people were dragged away by Kunikida Doppo and thrown into a small room next door.

"Ahem, sorry." Kunikida Dubu said righteously, "Please forget what you just saw."

You nodded, not quite understanding.

Kunikida Doppo continues to introduce the remaining members to you: Izumi Kyoka, whose parents work in the supernatural special forces department, and Nakajima Atsushi, who was originally studying well but was suddenly caught by Dazai Osamu and worked part-time in the detective agency.

Dazai Osamu explained that he thought that Atsushi, as the messenger of the cat god, should find a class to train himself more. Look at Ryunosuke Akutagawa next door, who has already planned to work for the port mafia before graduating...

Then, Edogawa Ranpo, who was eating snacks, mercilessly exposed him: "Mr. Cat, he just wants to rely on Atsushi to find the book."

"Book?" You wagged your tail in confusion and looked at Dazai Osamu, "What happened to the book? Isn't it in Dazai Osamu's hand?"

Dazai Osamu looked away guiltily: "After sending a message to... I haven't heard from you since..."

"So the black slime thinks Mr. Cat has abandoned us and will never come back." Edogawa Ranpo added, he slightly opened his eyes and lowered his voice, "After all, Mr. Cat has been gone for four years..."

"Four years?"

What's going on? You didn't mention the Honmaru sword. Speaking of which... You touched your chin. Four years have passed here. Has your pet clothing store grown bigger and stronger, and has it gone beyond Yokohama and become international?

"No." Edogawa Ranpo interrupted your fantasy, "Not long after Mr. Cat disappeared, the store downstairs disappeared." After a pause, he added, "Including the pets."

"Yes," Kunikida Doppo said, "the downstairs has become... the same as it was at the beginning."

"But Mr. Rimbaud and Verlaine have partnered up to buy the third floor."

Although it is impossible to perfectly restore the decoration of the pet clothing store.

After all, they can't find a slime fortune tree that spits out slime when touched, or a bone frame that dances when you pat the second rib on the left...

What?! You open the system map in disbelief, and it’s gone, the store is gone, the pet store module is gone, everything is gone!

Oh, no—

Cat Man’s world is about to fall.

You quickly wrote a 2,000-word essay and sent it to the administrator, angrily asking why the module you spent money on disappeared? This is simply a scam! ○○○, refund!

The administrator replied to you, dear, I showed you here. It disappeared at first because you were stuck in the neighboring Yokohama, and the module was stuck with it, but there is no vacant seat downstairs in the detective agency over there.

Due to various bugs, this module was stuck in the middle of two maps. So, a passing Naiad ■■■p saw an interesting thing here and picked it up.

To compensate you, the game is going to return the money you paid for the module. If there is nothing else, we will shut down now. Please remember to give Magical Girl Merry-chan a five-star rating.

Faced with the scoring system that popped up on the system panel, you gave Administrator 01 a negative score without hesitation.

The module is gone... but the door you snatched away is still in your backpack.

No wonder none of the Honmaru swordsmen mentioned the situation in Yokohama. You thought your business in Yokohama was well taken care of.

You are in a hurry and you need to go back to Hong Kong/Heilongjiang now to check whether your industry has been in trouble and whether your land, vegetables and factories have been embezzled by others.

"Ah, don't worry about what Mr. Cat is worried about." Edogawa Ranpo saw your thoughts and comforted you, "The former mayor of Yokohama is now the prime minister."

Prime Minister... You looked at Dazai Osamu with a look of disappointment. Even though it was not the same Dazai Osamu, why was Dazai Osamu so disappointing? He didn't even seize the chance to be Prime Minister.

"So..." Edogawa Ranpo took out an old newspaper from his drawer, "The 'Meow Meow Cult' that believes in the cat god is now the state religion."

"Yeah." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "When I sent Saku to school before, the first song they learned was the Cat Man song... Saku really liked this song."

"Oh..." You slapped your palm, and suddenly realized, "So cat men can walk sideways, vertically, and jump in Japan."

"After hearing so much, is this your only feeling?" Kunikida Dopo couldn't help but complain, "Isn't the Prime Minister's intention to give you the country anytime, anywhere?"

“Eh—no way.” You frowned in disgust. “It’s a lot of paperwork to write. It’s a hassle.”

Kunikida Dopo choked for a moment, but when he thought about your answer, he felt relieved: After all, you refused to join the detective agency because you had to write documents...

You turned around and chatted with Oda Sakunosuke, saying that you went to Yokohama next door this time, and that it was a world of reversed factions. Dazai Osamu almost became prime minister, and the assistant raised two-digit children and became an old babysitter...

You also took out a book written by Oda Saku next door, and looked at Oda Sakunosuke expectantly: "Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu next door has published a book and won the Newcomer Award. Xiaozhu, you must have written a lot of novels in the past four years here, right?"

“Ah…” Oda Sakunosuke looked away, “This…”

“You’ve written a lot, haven’t you?”

"Cat man, aren't you going to ask Dazai about the book?" Oda Sakunosuke naturally exchanged seats with Dazai Osamu, turned on the computer and started working, "I'm going to deal with today's work."

"Dazai doesn't have much work, so he can chat with you for a long time."

Dazai Osamu was suddenly dragged out and labeled as "the idlest person in our detective agency":?

"Then Dazai..."

You turned to look at Dazai Osamu and gave him a death stare.

"Where's the book?"
