Chapter 133 It turns out that the cat is unlucky
132.
After taking the photos, you sent the others back through the converter, leaving only April 1st Kimimuro, who was temporarily homeless, and Dazai Osamu, who had a home but was not planning to go back.
When you returned to Honmaru after sending the person off, as soon as you opened the door to the large hall, you saw a pile of white papers covering almost half the hall in front of Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi.
Those who couldn't write documents tiptoed carefully around the room, while those who could write documents were all grabbed by Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi to work overtime.
You picked up a piece of paper... Oh, it's a report about Yokohama's visit to Honmaru. You scratched your head, put the paper down again, looked at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi and asked in confusion: "Do you really have to write this document?"
Is it necessary to file this report? You don't know what identity you want to give to people in Yokohama... and the identity registration documents must be written by yourself, which is too tiring.
"If you don't tell me, and Kitsunesuke doesn't tell me, then Tokimasa won't know, right?" The honest cat man made a dishonest sound, "Tokimasa doesn't know, so we can round it up and say that no one came to Honmaru, so there's no need to write a report!"
"Um, Lord Judge..." Kitsunesuke, who was helping with the classification, stopped his work and jumped to your feet, "The time-space converter has records... Shizheng can receive relevant information..."
"They said the converter had a bug." You said confidently, "Anyway, the converter in Honmaru often breaks down. Isn't it normal that a few dozen people accidentally came to Honmaru and left Honmaru because of the malfunction this time?"
Kitsunesuke gave two awkward laughs and remained silent instead of answering.
"What should I do? I don't want to fill out the identity registration form." You wagged your tail and said arrogantly, "Let the current political situation dismiss the cat."
"Hey, Lord Judge, stop joking." Kitsunesuke spread his legs and followed you with a clatter. "It's just registering the identities of the guests. Lord Judge doesn't need to write too much..."
"Can't hear meow."
However, after hearing what you said, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi stopped what he was doing and looked thoughtful.
Seeing this, Yamaubakiri Kunihiro turned his head and said, "Honka, what's wrong?"
"I think..." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi reached out and grabbed Kitsunesuke's neck, "This time the master is right."
He looked down at Kitsunesuke and smiled, "Kitsunesuke, go smash the converter now."
This way, all I have to do is fill out the reason for the converter damage and the repair request form, which can reduce 99% of the workload at once... Thinking of this, the entire blade of Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi became refreshed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Kitsunesuke suddenly smashed the converter: "Eh? Chogiden?!"
"The fuzz-loving people won't pursue the matter too much if they see that it was Kitsunesuke who destroyed the converter." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi shook the round Kitsunesuke with some disdain, "Besides, considering your weight far exceeds that of other Kitsunesukes, it's normal for you to accidentally break the converter."
"Wow..." You raised your hands to help Kitsune's drooping ears stand up again, with a serious expression, "Kisuna-sama, listen, this is a malicious comment."
After a pause, you added, "But you really should lose weight, meow."
"We think so too." Minghu's little fox and Shirayama Yoshimitsu's fox took the opportunity to come over, "Master Judge, don't worry, we will help destroy Kitsunesuke's fried tofu!"
"You can leave it to the little fox." The little fox rubbed his head in your hand, "The little fox has recently changed to a new hair care essential oil. Will the master come to comb the little fox's hair tonight?"
"Hey - does Kokitsunemaru-dono need his hair combed?" Rantoshiro suddenly appeared, "Don't bother the master, I can help Kokitsunemaru-dono comb his hair."
One of the three-striped knives was pulled away, and the other one came over with a cup of tea as if nothing had happened: "Would you like to comb your hair... The old man also wants the master to help with it..."
"Mikazuki-dono, leave the hair care to me." Kunihiro Horikawa stood in front of Mikazuki Munechika with a smile, "I often help Kane-san with hair care."
"Catman-san." The well-behaved leader leaned on your shoulder with a look of "I'm so weak" on his face, "This is my first time staying overnight in another world, so... Can I sleep with a cat at night?"
"Oh? Can't you sleep alone?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi reached out his hand and took the person off your shoulder. "Don't worry, you can sleep with Toushirou and the others tonight."
"I promise you will never be alone."
…
There was a lot of joy in the square.
Only the big dough filled with all sugar and butter that he loved the most was lost, and he huddled in the corner, crying miserably: "Huh?!!! No, fried tofu!!"

Naturally, Shizheng did not bother you and quickly sent staff to repair the converter.
You see, this is the SVIP treatment that specially appointed judges deserve.
You've been rummaging through the trash cans in Yokohama for days, but you didn't see a single page? This thing is really good at hiding... Is Dazai Osamu lying to you again?
In fact, Dark Slime didn't throw the book into the trash can, but buried it together with his treasured bandage roll?
"…You're making Dazai Osamu sound like some four-legged plush creature."
Sakaguchi Ango still couldn't help but complain, but after he finished speaking, he looked around guiltily, fearing that Dazai Osamu would appear from somewhere.
"A puppy?" Oda Sakunosuke turned his head. "But as for Dazai..." He thought about it seriously and then said, "More like a cat, right?"
"Then you can't bury the books in the dirt." You squeezed in between the two of them, and Cat squatted on a chair, "If a cat digs the dirt, it can only be after ○○, right?"
"Oh——" Oda Sakunosuke suddenly realized, "So the book was buried under the cat litter by Dazai."
"Hey! Don't say 'book' like ○!"
Every word in the conversation between the two was a flaw, which made Ango Sakaguchi feel powerless and didn't know where to start. He simply closed his mouth and gulped down a glass of tomato juice to lower his blood pressure.
"Nice rant, Xiaokou." You gave Sakaguchi Ango a thumbs up. "After not seeing you for a few days, your rant skills are still better than mine."
“…I don’t really want this ability.”
"Then..." Oda Sakunosuke looked at you, and for once he was serious, "Cat boy, are you leaving after getting the book?"
"Really?" You scratched your ears and swung your tail behind you, "I want to take a break for a while." Playing games all the time is pretty tiring, and you want to lie in bed for three days and three nights to relax.
Sadistic explosion! Sleep!
"Don't worry, Kosuke." You patted Oda Sakunosuke's shoulder, "The cat will not forget you."
"Is that so..." Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while and nodded to you, "I understand..."
He raised his cup, gently touched the empty cup in front of you, and whispered: "Cat Man, be safe and sound in other worlds."
“Okay meow, no problem meow.” You raised your tail and meowed happily, “Xiaokou and Xiaozhu, if you can’t bear to leave the cat, you can start practicing now.”
"Practice?" Sakaguchi Ango was confused, "Practice for what?"
"Practice saying goodbye." You jumped off your chair and started gesticulating. "Treat every meeting as if it were your last."
This is what your father told you, because you never know whether a meeting with another person will be the last time you see him or her.
"So be brave and express your feelings, ○-chan."
"Whether you like it or hate it, human emotions are not infinite. You have to express them in a timely manner while you still have these emotions."
You don't remember why your father said this to you, but you remember that after he came home that day, he stayed in the basement for a long time.
NPCs in the game are just data. You can see them as long as you are online. Even if the NPC disappears, you can still pull it up. But players are different. Players can disappear at any time.
For a highly intelligent NPC, if a player quits the game, it's like losing a friend forever, right?
"Cats like you."
NPCs are vivid and have distinct personalities, just like real humans.
Even if the data does not exist, the emotions they bring to you during this time are real. You think, this is probably why many people are addicted to games?
"I like you, Xiaozhu."
“I like cat men, too.”
You deliberately moved next to Sakaguchi Ango and said loudly, "I like you, Xiaokou."
“Wow!”
Even though he was mentally prepared, Sakaguchi Ango was still startled by you. He pushed his glasses up in confusion, and his ears turned red.
"Even if you say so..." Sakaguchi Ango was a little embarrassed. He looked away nervously, and finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "I... I also like... cat men."
"So..." He raised his head and looked at you, begging earnestly, "Please don't forget about us."
"I won't forget... probably."
Sometimes I forget about the three-no games. Why? Even the players don’t know.
You look away as if nothing has happened, then reach under the bar and, as expected, pull out a monitor with a flashing red light.
Picking up the monitor, you hesitated for a while, but finally said, "I kind of like you, Dazai."
Even if this guy stole a lot of high-level fish bait, so that you get the prompt "fish bait was accidentally eaten" from time to time; even if the black mud slime occasionally fights with you, often occasionally; even if he is not serious about work, slacks off, and finally defected...
Bad, I don't like it anymore.
You put the monitor to your lips and said seriously, "I said it wrong. I am withdrawing my like."
"Dazai probably didn't hear it." Oda Sakunosuke pointed at the monitor, "After the cat man finished his first sentence, this one went dark."
"Dazai must be..." He calmly took a sip of wine, "He's shy."
At this moment, a Dazai Osamu was covering his face with a book, rolling back and forth on the sofa of the Armed Detective Agency, making a series of weird "hehe" sounds.
Nakajima Atsushi, who has a very conscientious attitude, said: "Kunikida-san, what's wrong with Mr. Dazai?"
"Don't worry about him." The cold Kunikida Dopo didn't even look at him. "I think he ate poisonous mushrooms again."
…
Leave Lupin, go back to Honmaru, and bring April 1st back to the mysterious shop.
The cherry blossoms in the yard have already bloomed. Ichihara Yuuko, holding a mokona, is sitting next to the cherry blossom tree. The moment she sees you, she smiles, "Hey, are the guests and April 1st back? It's been a while since we last met."
"Yes, meow." You left April 1st and appeared in front of Ichihara Yuuko. "Long time no see, meow. Miss Yuuko is still as beautiful as ever in my heart."
April 1st stood there for a long time, until you and Ichihara Yuuko finished meowing and acting cute, then he walked over slowly and hesitantly.
"Ah..." His voice was a little hoarse. Under your gaze, he choked and paused many times before he said the second half of the sentence.
"Welcome back, Ms. Yuko."
Yuuko Ichihara patted your head twice again, then she looked at April 1st and responded seriously:
"I'm back, April 1st."
…
Hmm... You rode the bird high above Yokohama, flipping through the memo written on the system panel. It was sent back on April 1st, the Hong Kong/Black and Detective Agency were also there, the pet clothing store was rebuilt, and killing rats was all normal...
I still can’t find Fei Jia’s name. Damn it! When will the rats come to Yokohama for you to kill?
There's nothing else to do... You close the system panel, clench your fist, then take out the book and complete the game in one go!
Just when you are thinking about which area's trash can to search next, the system suddenly pops up a large and bold task interface.
[Limited-time mission "Livia Mulberry Battle" has been opened]
[Mission Description: The fishman vanguard sent by Livia Sangzeng invaded this place. But due to your absolute wisdom and strength, its conspiracy did not succeed. After years of silence, Livia Sangzeng, who has accumulated enough strength, decided to come here in person.]
[Mission remaining time: 1:59:58]
[Clearance conditions: Kill Leviathan within the time limit; if the mission fails, the main mission fails]
【Mission Reward: Book】
Oh my god, the water god is going to fight. You took a deep breath and leaned back on the bird's back. I've said Yokohama is a sea city, and now it's true.
After all this trouble, it turns out that books are not dropped by rummaging through trash cans, but are quest rewards?!
So what's the point of you rummaging through the trash these days? Is it your bad luck?
