Chapter 87: Making a Big Move to Get Lost
87.
This shouldn't happen!
You hold the taro pie in your hand and think calmly. This game has even removed the ESC key, and you can't skip the plot. How come you can't understand what the NPC is saying?
What do you mean you have everything under control? What do you mean you understood the plan of the port fishery company from the beginning? What do you mean you knew they knew you knew their identities so you used their tricks to bring them back to Honmaru?
You were listening to the conversation between Mikazuki and Dazai Osamu, and you were saying "Ah Ba Ba Ah Ba"... Is this the same game you are playing? What did you get? Is this the difficulty that the puzzle copy gives to the players?
Although you are eating and drinking when the NPC is nagging, you are farming and fishing when the NPC is explaining the task, and you are mumbling when the NPC is reminiscing about the past...but you shouldn't not understand what the NPC is saying at all?!
Obviously, Catman’s brain is brand new, 90% new, smooth and wrinkle-free. With such a new brain, how could you not follow the plot?
There is nothing wrong with the players, there must be something wrong with the NPC section... This is all a bug in the game!
You stuffed the rest of the pie into your mouth, stood up and jumped onto the table, flicking your tail, interrupting the affectionate eye contact between the Honmaru NPC and the Yokohama NPC: "Everyone look at me, the cat man has something to announce--"
"It's not Watasi who's wrong!" you yell, "It's Kuanosaikai!"
The audience was silent for two seconds.
Ba-gata Naginata came over and picked you up from the table like a normal cat. Rantoshiro beside him said with a smile, "Master, let's go play hide-and-seek."
"Haha... I just made some extra pudding. Um, Master, do you want some?" Candelabra Mitsutada walked to the other side naturally. "Caramel."
"Eh? Koubo! Isn't that Tsuru's?!"
"Hmm? Mr. Crane doesn't want to give the snack to the master? Haha, it doesn't matter. The master won't mind Mr. Crane's food-guarding behavior."
"Kobo, you are killing me... so cruel..."
Kitsunesuke followed you in small steps, muttering, "Ahhh, Master Judge, you brought people back without asking for permission again..."
Several people in Yokohama watched this scene and remained silent - except for Oda Sakunosuke, who was really eating the spicy curry.
Dazai Osamu fell on the table with a thud, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was red.
The iris-eyed boy covered his forehead and hissed as he inhaled, muttering, "Wow, I knew he was an idiot, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid..."
How can he live so long? Ah, it seems like gods can never die? That's too scary.
“Ahahahaha…” Mikazuki Munechika laughed like a fool, “Master… is more naive and lively…” He hid his smile with his sleeves, the moon in his eyes flickering slightly, “That’s why we exist.”
To put it in plain language, although the cat is a fool, his subordinates are all sword masters with super strong fighting power, so don't think of any bad ideas against the cat.
Sakaguchi Ango looked at the people who were eating, eating snacks, and laughing with a dark aura, and then he looked at the people who were drinking tea, drinking tea, and drinking tea over there.
Was that a warning from the indigenous people? It was a warning! How could these people still eat? Sakaguchi Ango's hands were shaking like crazy and he kept adjusting his glasses. Wasn't anyone worried? This is an unknown world, there are gods!
Stop giving off that super relaxed vibe, you bastards!
Noticing Sakaguchi Ango's gaze, Oda Sakunosuke turned his head with a puzzled look in his eyes. He tentatively pushed the bright red spicy curry to the side and said, "Do you want to eat it too?"
"...No, please allow me to refuse this spicy curry."
"What? Will I die from the spiciness of this curry?" Dazai Osamu caught the key words, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand high, "I want to eat it, I want to eat it!"
"Ah..." Oda Sakunosuke looked at Sakaguchi Ango, then at Dazai Osamu, and considerately brought two empty bowls and shared some between the two of them, "...very delicious, spicy curry made by the cat man."
"No...I have already refused..."
Facing the spicy curry, Ango Sakaguchi made a big backward movement, but he noticed Oda Sakunosuke's expectant eyes and couldn't say no.
“…I’ll eat.”
Ango Sakaguchi picked up the spoon and stuffed a mouthful of spicy curry into his mouth with a heroic attitude - the next second, the future undercover office worker was killed.
Dazai Osamu looked at Sakaguchi Ango who buried his face in the bowl and wondered: "Is it really that spicy? Let me try it..."
Dazai Osamu, who was about to die, didn't have time to struggle before his face fell into the bowl.
"…What kind of spicy curry is this? Is it a biological weapon?"
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the two dead with a twitching mouth, and conscientiously stuffed their souls back - of course, it was normal to be a little violent when stuffing Dazai Osamu back, right?
"This one?" Oda Sakunosuke recalled, "The cat man said that the seasoning for this spicy curry came from a priest who was 'very good at making hellish mapo tofu', but the amount of seasoning was reduced."
There was a hint of longing in his eyes: "I really want to taste the spicy curry made by that priest..."
Nakahara Chuuya finally experienced the same frustration as Sakaguchi Ango—the pain of wanting to complain but not being able to say it.
The very considerate Nakahara Chuuya said nothing, but silently stuffed back the souls of the two people who were about to go to hell.

You were pulled into the large hall by the NPCs in the main castle and had a few more meals.
Every time you want to get up and go out, you'll get new food. What's going on? Are you using the washed food as a cat trap?
Are you a greedy cat man? You stuffed a cookie into your mouth in dissatisfaction. You are! How come this group of blades only did this little bit?
“Although… chew chew chew… I don’t know what you guys wanna… chew chew chew… do…” You swallowed the last bite of biscuit, burped, and brushed off the biscuit crumbs, “but I have to go.”
If we don't leave now, we won't be able to complete our afternoon plans.
Shinano Toushirou threw himself into your arms, hugged your waist and said coquettishly: "Master, isn't it good to stay in Honmaru all the time?"
"Yeah, yeah." Randoushiro hugged your arm, "As for the mission, just leave it to Chogiden and Ichikini."
"There are many people with bad intentions." Sayo Sawamonji put the persimmons she treasured in your hands, "I don't want to take revenge because of my master..."
“Ah…” You scratched your head, “But I’ll be fine.”
"That's different!" Rantoshiro raised his voice, "Master... Every time the master dies, he will sever the contract with us..." His voice was a little tearful, "Master... please don't die for anyone again... Stay in Honmaru... I... we will all protect the master..."
The other Blades in the room fell silent.
"I... I'm also scared... that the master won't come back..." Wu Hutui hugged the little tiger tightly in his arms. Noticing your gaze, he became even more nervous, "But... but the master also has... things he wants to do..."
"He just... likes his master too much..."
Everyone's love for the Master... has nothing to do with love. Ran just came to Honmaru earlier, so he likes the Master a little more than Basara who came later.
I like you so much that I don't want my master to come into contact with any dangerous existence, I like you so much that I want to keep my master in Honmaru, I like you so much that I want to hide from my master...ah, this kind of liking, humans seem to call it yandere?
"But... wherever you go, please... please take everyone with you..."
As Rantoshiro wiped his tears and muttered, "How come this method doesn't work on the master? Isn't it said that the short sword that cries and acts like a spoiled child is the most favored?", the Goko said softly, "Protecting the master... is also the meaning of our existence."
The mission world that the master is going to does have many dangers... Wuhutui uses the little tiger to cover his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and smiles shyly at you.
But didn't the master teach them that the perfect way to infiltrate is to kill all the people who see you - so if they want to protect the master, they just need to kill all the people in advance, and the master will not be in danger.
You have no idea of your own Blade's thinking and have been completely led astray by the other players' behavior. Naturally, you don't know what dangerous ideas the Blade in the house has.
"Can't we fill up the warehouse?" You bit the pen and scratched your ears, "What's wrong with Cat Man having a few more warehouses?!"
"No, you can only fill in each special relationship once." Kitsunesuke patted the documents beside him with his paw, "Master Judge, don't always think of taking shortcuts. You should also learn to write reports in writing."
Yamaubakiri Nagayoshiden has been oppressed for so long that even the fox can’t stand it anymore!
"Oh, then you let Nagayoshi beat the cat." You said nonchalantly, "Nagayoshi volunteered to be a social slave in Honmaru."
"I've finished writing." You handed the document you just filled out to Kitsunesuke, ignoring the silence on his furry face, and urged him, "Hurry up and hand it in. I'm still waiting for the review to pass so I can go back to Yokohama to fish... Ahem, no, I want to take everyone to have fun in Yokohama."
Kitsunesuke didn't say anything and submitted the report to Jizheng - this time the review time took one minute longer than the last time, but the response was still passed.
It's hopeless, right? Shizheng... Kitsunesuke sighed sadly and shook his big tail. He dutifully reported the result to you: "...The application of 'four cats and one little brother' by the Judge has been approved, and some data has been opened to relevant persons..."
Yay, passed!
Not wanting to hear the rest, you threw your pen down, opened the door and ran outside: "Xiaozhu Xiaozhu, come and be Catboy's Yokohama tour guide!"
Hehehe, this time we have Oda Sakunosuke as our tour guide, so he must be familiar with Yokohama, right?
*
They were quite familiar with each other, but Oda Sakunosuke tactfully stated that he had accepted Dazai Osamu's invitation to join the company and was now going to quit his previous job.
But the former boss was a bit troublesome and required some effort to resolve.
“I’m sorry, cat man.” Oda Sakunosuke rubbed your head, “I can’t accompany you to Yokohama.”
Ranpo Edogawa said that he had been sneaking out for too long and if he didn't go back, the president would worry. It was definitely not because he didn't know the way.
Nakahara Chuuya said that he and Dazai Osamu are going back to Hong Kong to report the mission to the leader...but they won't reveal the information of the other world, so you can rest assured.
Ango Sakaguchi said he also has a job, but if you need one, he can provide you with professional tour guides.
You rejected his suggestion, confident that you could have fun in Yokohama with the help of the system map, so -
[The system is being upgraded. Related programs are temporarily unavailable. Please understand.]
You stood on China Street in a daze and helpless, Sayo Sawamonji stuck close to you, and Rikuoku Mamoru Yoshiyuki, who was carefully looking at the map, screamed three seconds later: "Why is the map given by Shizheng the Yokohama map of 2205——"
Haha, what's going on? There are players who get lost in a game with a map...
Damn this broken system, you have to fight the programming team!
