Chapter 132 A Lifetime Thing
131.
With the help of others, you and the union reached a happy deal - you were happy, but the union didn't know it.
Now they are already members of the overseas division of Killing Rat. This is a small step for cats, but a big step for Killing Rat to go overseas!
"...So why aren't you applauding?" You jumped off the table and flicked your tail in dissatisfaction. "Is it because the cat man's speech wasn't passionate enough?"
The person who always supports you the most is your first believer, Oda Sakunosuke: "Oh - a great speech, you are worthy of being a cat man."
"As expected of my younger brother," Weilun said seriously, "You have great literary talent."
"That's right! Mr. Nekogami spoke very passionately! It was the most inspiring speech I have ever heard!" As your biggest fan, Akutagawa Ryunosuke not only clapped the loudest, he also pulled Rashomon out to applaud together.
"Yeah, that's right. Do you also think the Lord is the best? You have good taste, human boy."
As the main pusher, Yakiri Hasebe seemed to have found a confidant, and excitedly showed his treasured Alluki Pain Bag to Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Under the latter's increasingly envious gaze, he turned his katana into a proud one.
Confused, Miyazawa Kenji uttered an "oh" and then applauded: "Is this a big city? Cats in the countryside can't give speeches."
"No, cats in big cities can't give speeches either."
Kunikida pushed up his glasses, forbearingly took down Dazai Osamu hanging on the beam of the large hall, and gave him a warm reminder, "Don't cause trouble for others."
"Forget about the other members of the detective agency..." Nakahara Chuuya crossed his arms over his chest and looked unhappily at Dazai Osamu, who was being pinched by Kunikida Dopo and was shaking like seaweed, "Why is this defector here too?"
"Because there are so many people and it's lively?" You scratched your head, "It seems like we haven't gathered together before, so we brought everyone to Honmaru."
The detective agency, Hong Kong/Hei, killing rats, clothing store employees, and the supernatural secret service department, all the people you met in the new copy were gathered here by you... For those who were unwilling to come, you used some tricks.
For example, Ango rejected your invitation on the grounds that he had to work overtime, so you blew up the power system of the Special Power Department to help Ango get off work early.
Say thank you quickly, Catman.
The only person outside the Yokohama organization is Edgar Allan Poe... Did the union leave too quickly and forget about him? Poor socially anxious guy.
I don't know why, but he automatically sat at the detective agency table.
There were so many people that you had to urgently expand the square, otherwise there wouldn't be enough space for more than a hundred knife-wielding monsters and so many people.
There are so many people in the square now/Blade.jpg
When the round Kitsunesuke saw you bringing so many people back in front of the converter, he let out a sharp, not-at-all-round cry: "Master Judge, ahhhh!! Why did you bring so many people back?!"
"Your Highness Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, please come back soon! Our Honmaru is about to be stolen by those damn outsiders!"
And... you look away as if nothing has happened, and a strange sixth sense tells you that although the book is lost, it won't be long before you complete the task and leave the second copy.
You don't know whether you will continue to play, and now this game is like it has reached the end of a major version, making you have a faint feeling of wanting to quit: I guess the last food management copy is also a scam, and the essence is still farming, fishing, playing cards and racing birds.
What's more, you are a cold-hearted and fickle player. Rather than the type of player who would rather finish the entire game in one go, more often than not, you are the type of player who will start a new game halfway through the game.
Besides, if you keep focusing on one game, you will shed tears for those games that you bought and then threw into the Steam library to collect dust.
But this little game full of bugs can keep you playing for so long... Zu Jian is really amazing!
"ha?"
The moment Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi appeared at the gate of the Ōhiroma, the entire Ōhiroma fell silent - whether it was people from the Honmaru or from outside.
With veins throbbing on his forehead, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi endured it: "I just left Honmaru for a day... Lord Shintosama." He tilted his head and gave you a business smile, "Are you giving me so much more work again?"
One person corresponds to at least one document report, so many people...
Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi was already thinking about the possibility of killing the outsider directly in the Honmaru, which would both reduce the workload and lower the frequency of outsiders stealing the attention of the judges.
It is simply a good way to solve the problem once and for all.
"Uh... this... that... because..."
What should you say at this time? It seems like nothing you say will make sense... You are so anxious that you scratch your head. The game should give you a dialog option box at this time to provide you with ideas for answering!
At least you can eliminate one wrong answer first.
The game system seems to sense your anxiety and can't wait to pop up a new window:
[The current scene is detected to meet the conditions for opening the strategy section (full version)]
[The complete strategy section has been activated for you]
[Included cg "Are you partying with someone else?"]
[Ding Ding Ding~ Are you still worried about how to improve NPC favorability? Are you still annoyed by your poor speaking skills? The strategy template will continue to guide you.]
【Based on the current analysis, the intelligent system provides you with the following answers】
【A. "Give me half of the work. Don't get me wrong. It's not the same."】
【B. "No matter how many new people come on stage, you are always my favorite."】
【C. “Hey, I don’t understand.”】
【D. Blunt Corner】
What the hell is this... Is this still the game you play? Why is there a strategy game next door? No activation allowed, close it, close it.
It was a close call. I almost hurt you and the game NPCs out of sheer fear.
"Because I am the emperor." You held your head high, your tail raised proudly, "Bringing a new person back to the palace is normal, why are you so surprised, Concubine?"
The princess transforms into an evil silver gradient and hits you on the head with her hand.
With a lost look on your face and a naginata in your hands, you lie in Oda Sakunosuke's arms and meow, "Nagayoshi, you actually attacked the emperor. This is a case of Tiangang committing treason and forgetting your words. I will demote you to a subordinate!"
"Haha..." The male blade standing at the top of the Honmaru (work) smiled, "You write the document yourself."
"…I'm wrong, meow. Teacher Changyi, please love cats again, meow."
"Well...if it's just documents..." The leader who followed Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi to Tokisho raised his hand with a smile, "I can help write it, too."
He glanced at the gloomy Dazai Osamu and the suddenly grim-faced Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, and said lightly: "After all, I am the secretary of the cat man's Honmaru..."
He winked at you and said with a smile, "Let me handle all the documents. It's no problem at all."
"Tsk." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi turned his attention to the outsider who planned to stay in Honmaru after handling his funeral. He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said proudly, "I am the only blade in the entire Honmaru who is authorized to handle highly confidential documents."
"A foreigner who is not a sword master..." He chuckled, "doesn't have the qualifications." So go to bed, you foreigner who only thinks about stealing cats.
"That's what I mean..." Dazai Osamu, who was suddenly gurgling with black mud, looked at the leader darkly, "If you want to spy on other people's happiness, stop dreaming all day."
“Eh——”
The leader did not respond to Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's words. In a place where there are multiple "Dazai Osamu"s, "Dazai Osamu" would definitely choose to deal with another self first.
"But now, I am no longer an outsider." The leader said with a smile, "From now on, I will be the one sleeping in the same place with the cats. If you have any hidden thoughts, please leave quickly if you recognize me."
…
When Kunikida Dopo saw the two Dazai Osamu, his brain went into a state of shutdown, and he also heard that someone else's Dazai Osamu would actually take the initiative to find a job.
He couldn't help but look at Dazai Osamu from the detective agency, muttering: "They are all Dazai Osamu... Is the difference so big?" Can the one who works seriously be replaced?
Nakahara Chuuya, who had already had a few drinks with the people from the flag society, was shivering: "Two Dazais... what kind of hell is this..."
Little flowers started to flash behind Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "Two...two Mr. Dazai...and Lord Nekogami..." Heaven...Heaven!
Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was too happy, fell down peacefully.
"Brother!" Akutagawa Gin supported Akutagawa Ryunosuke and apologized to Rantoshiro who came to help, "Sorry...Brother was too excited..."
"It's okay." Rantoshiro curled his eyes, "If someone likes the master, we will also be happy."
"But..." Rantoshiro's smile deepened, and an indescribable dark shadow appeared behind him. "If you want to snatch the master away, it is absolutely not allowed~"
"Is that so? But..." Akutagawa Gin calmed down, with a blazing fire in his eyes, "In terms of our love for the cat god, my brother and I will never lose to anyone!"
…
"Wow..." Looking at the battlefield divided into several parts, Kashuu Kiyomitsu couldn't help but complain, "No one noticed them. Has the master been here for a long time?"
You didn't care at all about the other people's aggressiveness. You had already joined the harmonious eating and drinking group and looked up: "Mo? What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Yamato Moriyasu calmly put a piece of food into your bowl with chopsticks, "Master, try this fried shrimp tempura... It may not be very delicious, but as expected, I want you to taste my cooking skills."
Honmaru Dao has fully understood that in order to catch Alluki's attention, he must first catch Alluki's stomach - so the cooking level of everyone has entered the next level.
Finally, the chef's choice of blades is no longer limited to the blades of Mitsutada Kasen and Kanesada Kasen.
It’s just that for some blades, cooking skills are upgraded in the opposite direction.
For example, a beautiful and powerful katana, a sword of a teacher who likes to study sword knowledge, or a cat sword that likes to meow - it's not that the food this person cooks is bad, but the delicious part is all cat rice.
"Hey, An Ding!" Kashuu Kiyomitsu was annoyed when he heard this. "We both did this together. How did it become your work alone?"
"Eh - is that so?" Yamato-mori Yasunari didn't care at all. He turned his head and continued to ask, "Master, how does it taste? Did you get my way?"
"Anding, you bastard—" Kashuu Kiyomitsu rushed over, "You actually want to take all the credit by yourself?!"
You've just finished chewing your fried shrimp when you turn around and see two Okita swords tangled together.
So you silently picked up the bowl, moved to another place, and thought worriedly: Is there no place where the cat can have a good meal?
Alas, it's all my fault... You took a painful bite of the caramel pudding, it was so popular.
"Hey, the master." Higekiri, who caught the stray cat man, bent down and greeted you with a smile. "It's incredible. Wherever the master goes, there will be war."
"The head of the family is here now..." The boundless treasure begins to rub your ears, "Will there be a war between me and my brother, that... Zhengjingwan?"
"Brother...Brother! It's Hibamaru, not Seijimaru, brother!" With tears welling up in his eyes, Hibamaru sniffed and wiped away his tears with his arm. "There will never be a war between me and my brother."
"Oh, I don't really care whether you guys fight or not." You slapped Higekiri's hand away indifferently, "I hate some blades without a sense of boundaries."
"And..." You pointed at the red pendant sticking out from Hibiki's waist, "What's this?"
"This... this is... is..." Hibiki hurriedly hid the pendant inside his clothes, "It's... it's an ordinary pendant."
"It's the owner's surroundings."
Higekiri readily took off his pendant and put it in the palm of his hand to show you: it was a small red plush cat head pendant with the face painted chocolate brown with a fountain pen.
"Didn't the master of the house enter the molting period? Everyone collected the master's shed hair and made it into small pendants." Higekiri took the pendants back, "Well, but I'm not very good at this, so the pendants are all made by hand."
“So…” you began hesitantly, “A cat hair pendant for the blade hand?”
"Hmm." Higekiri blinked and asked, "What's wrong, master? Don't you like what everyone is doing?"
If the master doesn't like it... Higekiri thought, Meiren wouldn't be willing to destroy it, right?
"No, it's just..." You shook your head, rubbing your chin with your hand, "Don't you think it's a little too ambiguous to carry a part of Cat Man's body?"
The knife man wears your cat fur pendant, and you grab the other blade's knife pattern and wear it on your body, and you both run towards each other.
"Will the master of the family care?" Higekiri gave you a meaningful look. "This kind of... well, messy relationship of fear, isn't that what the master of the family always talks about?"
"I don't mind." You gave a thumbs up, showing your healthy white teeth, "But did I lose so much hair?" I don't feel that way at all, meow.
"Yes." Higekiri nodded. "During that time, the head of the family was like a walking dandelion."
"That's right." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was hanging upside down, suddenly appeared, "Just blow gently at the owner and you can get a lot of cat hair."
Hearing this, your eyes became sharp: "No wonder I often feel cold, it turns out it's you who did it again!"
"Eh? It's none of Tsuru's business! It was obviously another blade that was blowing secretly..."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumped up and down during your pursuit, and did not forget to give Genji Sword a provocative look: Ha, he has stolen Alluki's attention.
"Ah, brother..." Higekiri slowly drew out his own sword with a terrifying smile, "It seems that the war with the head of the family is still inevitable."
"Yes, it's like this, brother." Hibamaru said seriously, "I will cooperate with you to get the attention of the patriarch back."
…
After eating and drinking, you lay in the arms of Sakura Blizzard's static naginata with your eyes squinted, wagging your tail from time to time: "I'm satisfied, meow."
The several main sword controllers surrounding the static naginata were taking pictures crazily with their cameras.
Hasebe Yashiro cried as he was dancing and said that he would treasure the photo of Alluki's satisfied expression for the rest of his life.
Oda Sakunosuke asked if he could have a copy of the photo of the Basagata naginata, as he also wanted to collect it... and bring it back to show Sakura.
Somehow, April 1st Kimimori, who had established a good relationship with Rikuoku Mamoru Yoshiyuki, received a photo shared by the enthusiastic Tosa Dao.
Ayatsuji Yukito, who was more familiar with the knife masters, was puffing on his cigarette - halfway through, the cigarette was taken away by the righteous government Blade on the grounds that "smoking is harmful to the owner's health". At the same time, he pointed at Blade who couldn't take pictures and asked them to give him the best picture.
Kunikida Dopo, who has the ability to conjure up a small Polaroid camera, has become the most popular person at this moment. People who are not very familiar with the knife master and are not as natural as Oda Sakunosuke, all come to him to ask for a Polaroid camera.
Feeling everyone's enthusiasm for taking photos, you suddenly have a good idea: "Let's take a group photo."
You picked up Kitsunesuke, whose mouth was full of oil from eating fried tofu, and shook him, then said, "Kitsune Dalang can help take pictures."
Political technology is so advanced that it should be possible to take a group photo of more than a hundred people in 1080p high-definition quality, right?
"Sir, the Judge!" Kitsunesuke kicks his legs in dissatisfaction in your hands, "How can you leave me behind? I want to shoot too!"
It placed its paw on the bell and pressed it, easily removing it. Then it ran to Rikuoku Moriyoshi and asked him to put the tripod in the proper position.
After placing the bell on the tripod, Kitsunesuke jumped back into your arms and scratched the Pokémon on your shoulder with its claws.
It's a pity that you can't call out the fairy at the same time... You smack your lips with regret. Scholar and Summoning are twin mystical arts, so why can't you summon two kinds of creatures with one book?
There is no other way. I’ll call the fairy out and take another picture.
However, there was a big argument among the others about who stood next to you and behind you.
One said I was the original sword, so I had to stand beside Alluki. Another said Crane was Alluki's favorite sword, so Crane had to stand beside him. Another said the Gojo family was dreaming again. How could the blade that was loved by the master be a blade that liked to dig holes? If you want to say that you like it, you have to look for it in the Sanjo family. The one who best fits the characteristics should be a grandfather like him...
The two precious swords took the opportunity to push their blades apart, sandwiching you in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. A certain old man with platinum hair asked you softly, "Can I hold the master of the house and take a photo?" If you say no, Kukuwan will cry.
The light green-haired Tachi rarely corrected the question of addressing, but nodded nervously and seriously and said yes.
After hearing this, Yokohama Shiraha was annoyed. If he cried, he could stand next to you. Then he would cry too, so why couldn't he stand closest to you?
Thanks to Shirako for helping the Yokohama Group gain entry, the sword masters are still fighting for the blade of Namba Bay in the heart of the Inquisitor, and have no idea that an outsider is sneaking in.
…
The cat feels a little annoyed by the quarrel over such a small matter, so you jump onto the roof and say that no one is allowed to quarrel anymore, and the cat man wants one cat per table.
Others/Blade looked at the result and didn't say it was good or bad, but suddenly became indifferent...
"Are you ready, Master Judge?" Kitsunesuke looked up at you. "There are only thirty seconds left on the countdown."
Wow, it's a bit like the countdown before the wild team starts to attack monsters.
Then you have to pose coolly.
“I understand.” You nodded seriously and opened the spellbook. “It’s Catman’s turn—”
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi sensed something was wrong with your actions and tried to squeeze through the crowd of people in Blade Mountain to stop you, "Hey, you bastard, go stop the master!"
The coolest way to summon is to release LB. What's more, your eyes become more determined, and you raise the magic book high:
"Trillion nuclear explosions!"
Art is an explosion!
A huge blue dragon wing grows from your back, and several rays are emitted from behind, scattering all over the main maru, causing continuous explosions.
The people/blades who were originally fighting for their positions fled in panic amid the explosion.
"Wow! Wait! There's an explosion over there too!"
"Tsk, damn it, you bastard, didn't I ask you to stop the Judge?"
"I'm sorry...but Honka, why don't you become a demon?"
"Mr. Cat is totally, totally an idiot!"
"My dear, why do you look like this?"
"Hmm... I was just thinking, God is like this, but the world hasn't ended yet, how lucky we are."
"Ha, I was hit by an explosion just now, which shows that the cat has me in his heart. I am the Dazai Osamu he likes."
"Haha, the bandage on my face was taken off by the cat. Do you have one?"
"I said, that's enough! Get out of the way if there's an explosion, you two stupid mackerels!"
…
"Click"
Amid the noise of others/Blades, you walked over to Lingdang as if nothing had happened, and asked the dumbfounded Kitsunesuke to pull out the photo to show you what it looked like.
Well, a very handsome cat boy! As for the others/Blade——
Also within the camera range.
Feeling that you can get off work after taking photos like this, you turn around and prepare to flee the crime scene, but before you can take a step, you are grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Kasen Kensada.
"Master..." The katana, whose face was covered in dust in the explosion, smiled slightly, "Where are you going?"
"You're not planning to run away, are you?" Feng Yadao's smile became more friendly. "This is not a very elegant behavior at all."
Your tail drooped, and you said honestly: "I went to the toilet, meow. Cat didn't mean it, meow." It was intentional, after all, being nagged by the NPC was only a temporary thing, and handsome——
It's a lifetime thing!
There are three things a player must protect in his life: cool, cooler, coolest.
After being lectured by the knife-wielding people, you stayed where you were, waiting for everyone to gather together again.
"Stop making such a mess." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who had just finished rebuilding the main castle, looked even darker under his eyes. He said coldly, "The snacks that Tsudaikiri put in the refrigerator will be confiscated!"
"Eh? No - don't take away the snacks! Don't take away the delicious and crunchy snacks that Cat Man loves to eat -"
…
Finally, we took a serious group photo smoothly.
When you are emoting on the rooftop because of the snacks you lost, there will always be someone who comes up to you and quietly puts snacks into your arms - including Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi who tells you to remember this lesson.
In short, everyone got a group photo, and you got more snacks.
Congratulations, meow.
