Chapter 82: The Cat Man in Jail

82.

Although Mr. Midorikawa sometimes looks ferocious when he laughs, you always worry that one day Mr. Midorikawa will stop pretending and turn into a real smiling tiger, killing the child of your colleague who sells fake medicine with a knife... But!

The food he cooks is delicious. Mmm, eat, eat.

But... you stuffed a mouthful of tempura into your mouth and fell into self-doubt. Was it an illusion? I felt like I could taste the flavor of Mr. Amuro in Mr. Midorikawa's rice...

Could it be... you thought of a possibility and were instantly shocked. Could it be that you have been eating meal replacements?

In fact, Mr. Amuro's rice has become your favorite without you realizing it. As the saying goes, what you can't get is always lingering. This causes you to search for the taste similar to your favorite rice in every bite when you eat the rice made by others.

This...is this what the neighboring country calls Wanwan Leiqing?

"Then I'll come back at noon." Mr. Midorikawa hung his untied apron on the kitchen door. He turned around and smiled at you more gently. "Please stop those messy thoughts in your head, okay?"

"Okay kiss, no problem kiss, please don't hit me kiss."

You stood at attention for a second, and watched Midorikawa Hikaru walk to the opposite house at the door - yes, after your good neighbor of rice popcorn was reincarnated, the house next door has been regarded as a haunted house and has been unsalable, and Mr. Midorikawa, without your knowledge, became your chef and new neighbor.

Big brother found you a very dedicated and responsible chef, he really is, you cry to death.

After sending your daily harassing text messages, you return to your bedroom, devoutly open the Zu○ album, and loop the songs three times. After completing today's refinement, you put on your helmet and prepare to log in to play.

A new day, a new beginning.

Game on!

Inside the Dao Chong Dance Clothing Store.

Rambo looked at the animals in the store, big and small, wearing very cute lace skirts - including reptiles and flying animals - how did they put them on? There were even matching hats and accessories...

What about the sword man? Why was he the only one sent to the store? Was it because it was too early to work?

"Hey, little Bo." You walked through the gate of the main castle and wagged your tail in high spirits. "Then I'm going to take everyone out for a walk. Do you want to come with us?"

"Everyone...?" Rambo turned his gaze to Meow Meow, Wang Wang, Ying Ying, and Snake again. His eyebrows jumped. "These... can't be the store manager's sword men?"

"Yes, he's also an employee of the store." You randomly picked up a Capybara from the pile of animals. It was very stable and didn't make any noise even when you put a luxurious lolita dress and veil on it. "Hehe, it's a good opportunity to promote the store."

I can’t even imagine how many Yokohama locals will come to your store to buy pet clothing after seeing so many styles of pet clothing.

No, Rimbaud felt that the locals of Yokohama, who knew the way of survival in Yokohama well—first of all, staying away from strange people—would not come to such a strange-looking store.

What's more... He looked at some internationally protected animals, his eyes twitched slightly, and he was a little worried about whether the store manager could return safely.

But Rimbaud, who didn't know your specific situation, decided to keep quiet. He didn't want to become an animal wearing a skirt and join in this strange master-servant play because of his momentary talkativeness.

So he kept smiling: "No, I'll stay to look after the store and help the manager tell the customers that we are closed today."

"Watching a shop is not as fun as parading... Are you angry?" After tying a bow on Jujumaru Tsuneji's head, you tilted your head and looked at Lanbo, and said calmly, "If you are angry because I didn't let you, who are unfamiliar with Yokohama, be a tour guide, you can also be angry with our Honmaru's fox navigation instrument, Kitaro."

Even though you said so, Rimbaud still chose to reject your request and said that he quite likes this job and asked him to stay in this position for a while longer.

It's been a while since I've seen such a proactive tool blade. You were so moved that you set the working hours in Lambo's shop to two more hours. It's said that the French don't like to work, but this is obviously nonsense. The French NPCs in the game like it very much!

With a huge army of animals, you start your one-day trip to Yokohama following a systematic map that is not clearly marked.

But before you walk even a kilometer, you'll see not only your own sword, but also a group of men and women holding cameras following you.

"What's going on?" You stopped and twitched your ears in confusion. "What are they filming?"

“Maybe…” Yingwan landed on your shoulder and calmly combed his feathers in the flash, “He’s taking pictures of us.”

"Why take pictures of birds?" You are even more confused. "Have you never seen a bird?"

Unable to understand the logic of these NPCs' behavior, you shake your head and sigh, and continue moving forward.

A few minutes later, police cars with red and blue flashing lights surround you and your knife-wielding pets.

The leading policeman got out of the car and showed you his police ID, and then showed you the bird videos that were popping up like mushrooms after rain on the mobile social platform.

You glanced at the titles, and they were basically: "Mountain! Robin! Rare! Robin! Epic! Robin" "Matcha ice cream scoop! Matcha ice cream scoop! Delicious! Eat three in one bite!" "This is the crow! Crow! The pinnacle of the Creator!"

Oh - you suddenly realize that the group of people who followed you and took secret photos of birds are bird watchers with a very beautiful mental state!

Alas, these NPCs are not stable at all. Can't they learn from the mature and stable cat man?

Then, the sheriff said in a serious tone that you were arrested for smuggling rare animals and for stealing green belts and eating free meals everywhere a few days ago.

you:?

Good, so novel! This is the first time you were arrested! You obviously haven't had time to take the initiative to find trouble... Did your collection of door locks and glass get exposed? If I had known earlier, I would have continued to collect in the rich neighborhoods and not go to Hong Kong///.

Huh? What are the uses of glass and door locks? How do you know? But it can be collected, so it must have its uses. You also dug a lot of bricks, so you can save the sand and mud of the brick heads.

But before you could say anything, the knife pets couldn't sit still anymore.

They started to attack the surrounding policemen with howls, using their claws and mouths to repel the local NPCs and protect the best judge in the whole Honmaru!

The attacked policemen did not dare to fight back in public - just kidding, if they touched a hair of a rare animal, they could spend the rest of their lives in jail, and if an ordinary animal moved, they would be scolded to death by the onlookers who were watching - the policemen, who were in great pain, could only choose to escape in their own way. Even if someone's hair was pecked bald by a baby crane, they did not dare to fight back.

You raised your hand to stop the actions of the knife pets, and put an end to this battle of flying knives and running people.

The person next to the sheriff saw you controlling the animals and whispered in his ear: "...It seems to be over there...We need to contact the supernatural..."

The sheriff sighed, raised his hand and pinched his brow tiredly, and said irritably: "Take it back first, the citizens are still watching."

Seeing that the police are about to arrest you again, the Pomeranian, which is the most ferocious fighter, starts to bar its teeth and growl again.

"It's okay." You hummed twice, flicked your tail, and jumped in front of the police officer with a rose in your mouth, your eyes flashing with affection for the cat man, and you suppressed your bubbling voice, "Aren't you going to take the cat man away? The cat man can't stand waiting, so catch the cat and put him in jail now. Don't be shy~"

The policeman who was about to handcuff you was stunned for a moment and looked at the sheriff behind him helplessly.

The sheriff rubbed his temples again and scolded, "...What are you looking at me for? Don't you know how to arrest people?"

"oh oh!"

The young policeman hurriedly puts handcuffs on you, and you kindly instruct him that the handcuffs are a little loose and if they are not fastened tightly enough, you can easily take your hands out.

"Like this." You showed the policeman the Cat Man's way of removing handcuffs, then calmly put your hand back and got into the police car first, "Let's go."

The sheriff snorted and slammed the door.

After knowing that you are going to play the police station, the knife pets silently watch you get on the police car, the flying knife pets quietly follow the police car, and the remaining knife pets return to the main circle and the pet shop, so that they can contact you and provide support at any time.

The animals dispersed, and the remaining police officers looked at each other, not daring to act rashly for a moment, so they had to choose to go back to the police station to discuss further.

On the way back, someone slapped his forehead and said in a speechless voice: "Isn't this the cat-eared boy from Leibo Street who made terrible cocktails and looked a little off?"

"How did it get involved with animal smuggling? Really..."

*

Instead of moving directly into a luxurious single room or a dirty, messy multiple-person room, you were dragged by the sheriff into an interrogation room.

"Tell me the truth, where did you get so many national treasures?" The sheriff pointed the stage light at you, staring at you with sharp eyes, "You are just a poor man born in Leibo Street, it is impossible for you to have such great abilities. Tell us about your suppliers and contacts, and we can reduce your sentence at our discretion."

"Huh?" National treasure? You thought about it, it seems so, don't the NPCs in Honmaru have swords that are hundreds or thousands of years old? It seems that the prototypes are all in shrines and museums, "...They are all volunteers."

You answer calmly, "They are willing to be close to me." After a pause, you add, "Sometimes they will even try to be close to me." If necessary, the little animals will fight to decide the winner, and the winner will get the chance to be close to your shoulders and head.

"So..." The sheriff narrowed his eyes, "Is this your special ability?"

"I don't know. They shouted that I was the most favored and rushed over to get close to me."

You twitched your ears, and thought in frustration, "Why aren't you put in jail yet? Is this also a cutscene? Can you have some popcorn then?"

"If you really can't help it, just arrest me. I volunteered to go to prison."

"Don't be so smooth-talking! Be serious!"

"Then..." You scratched your head, bewildered, "You guys arrested me seriously?"

…

The sheriff seems to be mad at you. Really, how can an NPC get angry so easily? The cat man is always polite and serious, right?

Although you didn't go to jail, you went to a holding cell, good!

There's the guy who sits next to you and has the same hair color as you, staring at you expressionlessly.

What's wrong? Is this NPC interested in the cat man? Hum, although this uncle doesn't say a word, his eyes can't deceive the cat. You know, this is all a trick to attract the cat man's attention and play hard to get. It is completely normal for NPCs to like the perfect chocolate cat man, and there is no need to be shy.

Because of the same hair color, you forgave this stubborn uncle and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I'm Catman. This is my first time in the police station. I'm quite nervous. What's your name? How many times have you been here?"

"Ah... do you want to introduce yourself?" The red-haired man looked confused. "I've only been here twice."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few times." Prison sometimes becomes a player's second home, so it's normal for you to take some chairs and tables from home, right?

The red-haired man pondered for a moment and expressed his agreement sincerely: "You are right."

After you emptied the detention room, the red-haired man, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke; "I am Oda Sakunosuke."

He blinked and didn't think there was anything wrong with taking so long to answer your question.

You didn't think there was anything wrong with the NPC's delay in answering, so you nodded seriously and said, "Nice to meet you, assistant."

Name? What's wrong with the name? Isn't the NPC called Jili Guluzhu? Anyway, Xiaozhu is not angry, which means he has no objection to you calling him that.

"ah……"

Oda Sakunosuke responded slowly:

"Nice to meet you too, Catman."
