Chapter 94: Still Want to Take the Door

94.

During the two weeks of the game, you will either be stuck with the knife spirit and farm in the main circle, or be stuck with the knife pets and work in the pet shop.

As long as you show the slightest sign of wanting to leave the pet shop, the NPCs will quickly gather around you and take advantage of the cat man's limited conscience to get you to stay.

But here's the thing about pampering an NPC. A little pampering is a kind of affection. If you keep pampering them, you will quickly enter the state of a sage - you have been farming in the main maru for two weeks, and your heart has become as hard and cold as your hoe. Now the NPC's tear attack can only cause zero damage to you.

Although there is a one in a billion chance that you made a mistake by not resetting the settings immediately after the system update, isn't the biggest problem still the power outage? Is this something you can control? No.

So you stand up again, and become justified and strong - after all, the cat man is the emperor of Honmaru.

Then what crime have I committed?

On a clear night, after you finished eating the special meal prepared by Candlestick Mitsutada, you wiped your mouth and quickly jumped out the window and ran away before the other blades could react.

Goodbye to the knife-wielding guys, the free cat man is going to conquer the world.

Unfortunately, halfway through your run, the blade with the highest mobility catches up with you.

As you are about to be caught up by the NPCs, you take out a pickaxe with one hand and a new interesting weapon you bought from the mall with the other.

[Magic Wand: This is undoubtedly a magic wand, made of unicorn tail hair... What? Is this a secret formula that cannot be revealed? Well, then hold the wand, chant a spell - wave it - and see, magic is that simple. After chanting the "Except You ()" spell, you can strip the corresponding existence from the other party. The effective time is two hours. This weapon can only be used once a day. Note: You cannot strip non-existent items. ]

You aim your wand at the blades behind you, swing it vigorously, and yell, "Minus your IQ!"

A huge yellow five-pointed star emerged from the front of the wand, flickering towards the NPCs. The blades chasing you at full speed were unable to dodge and crashed directly into the star - with a bang, the five-pointed star shattered into several clouds and quickly dissipated in the air.

The few blades that were chasing you just stood there, motionless.

Eh... have you really lost the NPC's IQ? You're curious about what they are like, but the second group of blades chasing you is coming over, so you stuff your wand into your backpack and speed up your escape.

It's okay, even if they really become mentally retarded NPCs, you will still spoil them.jpg

Unless they can no longer cook or farm on their own.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu, who came over a little later, looked at the blushing Hasebe in silence, hugging the tree and twisting his body with a weird smile, and then poked Yamato-mori Yasutsumi beside him: "Hey, Yasutsumi, what's wrong with them?"

Yamato-no-mori Yasunari turned his gaze away from the shrubbery that was braiding the bushes. Rantoshiro was in the state of cherry blossoms and snow. He smiled and said, "It must be the master's ability."

"After such a long time in the real world, the master has become a particularly disobedient little cat." Yamatomori's calm smile turned scary, "It's better to lock him up, right? Hmm... it doesn't matter if his legs are broken, right?"

Kashuu Kiyomitsu dodged to the side, carefully avoiding the black energy emanating from Yamatomori Yasunari.

Wow, Anding is getting more and more scary, he even said such words. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, that's the master, how can they hurt the master?

It would be fine if they were tied up in the room so that the owner could only see them.

Just before the NPC catches up with you, you successfully sneak out - that is, you use a pickaxe to chisel down the door connecting the main palace and the pet shop, and quickly put the fallen door into your backpack.

[Door: A door created by Judah. ​​No one knows what is behind this door before opening it. Survival or death, let the door decide.]

You put away the pickaxe and smiled brightly.

Not only did the cat man close the window of the Honmaru Canteen, he also took away the door, blocking the NPC's way to Yokohama. Oh, you are really considerate, cat man.

But why is there so much money in your trouser pocket?

Reaching into your pocket, you pull out a hamster that is all black and has blue eyes, and a guinea pig that has a black back, white belly, and blue eyes.

"...Horikawa, Izumi-no-Kami?" You were holding a rat in each hand, and you were shocked. "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here?" Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada looks even more shocked than you are. "Horikawa, weren't we just training in Honmaru?"

"I'm also good at unorthodox methods and assassinations." Horikawa Kunihiro lay calmly in your hand and changed to a more comfortable position. "I know that the master will leave Honmaru eventually, so these few days, I have specially brought Kane-san to train near the gate..."

Oh, so this NPC is just guarding the gate and waiting for the cat.

You thought for a moment that the two blades should have arrived at the pet shop before you - but Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada didn't notice this? You're too late, Kane-san!

"This is what I should do." Horikawa Rat smiled shyly, "I need to let the master see the reliable side of Kane-san."

"... Kunihiro, you're too considerate and it's a bit scary!" Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada twisted your hand a few times and said awkwardly, "Although I am indeed a powerful and beautiful sword, but..."

After a pause, he muttered in annoyance: "Why am I just a mouse? Shouldn't I be taller and more handsome?"

Like the more majestic tigers and lions... He is a katana! ! Why is he assigned to the tanto and coercion group? No, some tanto are pandas and raccoons... Does that mean he is not even as good as the tanto?

"Eh..." Kunihiro Horikawa turned his head, his little eyes dark, "Does Kane-san have any opinion on rodents?"

"...No, that's not what I meant." Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada was sweating, "It's just that with this size, it's not very convenient to protect the master."

"It's okay, Kane-san." Kunihiro Horikawa smiled, "We can open our eyes."

When you hear what Kunihiro Horikawa says, you naturally think:

Although the probability of cute rats killing people is low, it is definitely not zero.

As you fly through the sky on your Miri hat, you suddenly see the big, glittering crystal on the black-roofed building in Hong Kong, and slap your head in surprise: I’ve been hanging out with NPCs for the past few days and forgot that I can teleport directly back to Yokohama.

It's okay, you remember now.

I’ll definitely do that next time.

*

There weren't many people at Lupin tonight.

You changed into the bartender's uniform, looked around, and soon struck up a conversation with a wealthy lady. You took out Izumi-no-Mori and Horikawa-no-Rouse from your pocket and showed them your pet costumes.

Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada squeaked twice in protest, but the rich sister thought he was even cuter and asked, "Can't you buy a pet as well?"

Fearing that he was being betrayed, Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada dared not utter a word. He held your hand tightly with his front paws and refused to let go no matter what you said.

On the contrary, Kunihiro Horikawa behaved naturally and generously, spinning gracefully on the table and showing the advantages of the clothes to the rich woman in all aspects.

The rich sister was amused by Kunihiro Horikawa, and finally she said regretfully that the clothes were nice, but she had no pets at home.

After failing to sell clothes in the bar for the Nth time, you turned around dejectedly and left with regret, bringing the rats back to the bar, waiting for other customers' orders.

"Huh? Are you back?" Dazai Osamu jumped down the stairs and saw you, his tone was a little surprised, "I thought you would not come back to Yokohama."

"Ah?" You were a little confused while wiping the cup, "Why?"

"Ah, cat man." Oda Sakunosuke entered Lupin and greeted you, "Long time no see." After a pause, he answered your question for Dazai Osamu, "Because some people said that you were killed."

“That’s true.” You flicked your tail. “When a person is killed, they die, but the cat man is not a person, so he is a bartender here again.”

"I see." Oda Sakunosuke looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "You're amazing, Catman."

And the two edges that start to react to the keywords are squeaking in your pocket.

"What's that sound?" Dazai Osamu leaned his head out from his seat and tried to pull himself towards you. "What did you bring? Let me see."

"Nothing." You pushed the curious Dazai back and looked up at Oda Sakunosuke. "Would you like something to drink?"

Oda Sakunosuke thought seriously for a while: "Hmm... wine?"

"Indeed, we should drink when we come to the bar." You crossed your arms, nodded seriously, turned around and poured a glass of whiskey for Oda Sakunosuke, "Xiaosuke, please drink."

"Thank you, cat man." Oda Sakunosuke looked at Dazai Osamu who was playing on the swivel chair and tilted his head. "Don't you want something to drink, Dazai?"

"Ah... then give me a drink with detergent in it." Dazai glanced at you, looked away with a lack of interest, and started to play with the chair again, "... there won't be any anyway."

“Yes, I do.” You stroked your chin, your expression serious, “But underage drinking won’t make you grow taller, so…”

You put a glass of milk in front of Dazai Osamu.

“Drink more milk.”

"...I'm not a slimy little dwarf." Dazai Osamu sniffed the smell of milk, pushed the cup away in disgust, turned around and gave you a sly look, "Give me some wine with detergent in it."

"No." You refused righteously, "Xiaozhu is your friend. If I give you alcohol in front of him, it will increase the sin value of the cat man. The cat man's current goal is to fill up the city's friendship value."

Dazai Osamu: "Is this a new setting you added?" He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at you and said seriously, "You are playing with the Black Hand Gang, and your sin value will be increased by one thousand!"

“I don’t play with the black//hand// gang.” You twitched your ears, “I only play with Kosuke and Dazai.”

Now Dazai Osamu was silent.

After a while, he lay on the table, buried his face in his arms, and said sullenly: "...Foul, red card."

You and Oda Sakunosuke looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Ah..." Oda Sakunosuke thought of something, took a sip of wine, and told you as if to say "The weather is nice today", "Ango has also joined the Hong Kong//Black."

"Ango?" You tilted your head in confusion. "Who?"

"The rant role, Ango is a precious rant role." Dazai Osamu muttered, "Didn't you tie him up and take him back to eat?"

"Oh!" You remembered, "It's Tucao-kun! Are you two friends now?"

Dazai Osamu stopped talking again.

"Yeah." Oda Sakunosuke took a sip of wine with a faint smile in his eyes, "I, Dazai, and Ango have become friends."

Well, it seems you remembered it correctly last time. That group is a group of good friends.

"Although Ango has to work overtime today, I brought Ango's original body with me." Dazai Osamu, who had regained his vitality, took something out of his pocket and placed it mysteriously on the counter. "Clang clang - Sakaguchi Ango's backup body is here!"

“Oh oh—it’s a pair of glasses!” You looked at the glasses on the bar counter and moved closer. “Good evening, Tucao-kun.”

Oda Sakunosuke imitated you and came over: "Good evening, Ango."

Dazai Osamu covered his mouth and chuckled: "Puuuuuuu... You are really loved by everyone, Ango."

"Eh? Do you want the cat man's love too?" You turned around and said to Dazai Osamu affectionately, "Sure, Dazai, cats like you."

"…Wow." Dazai Osamu felt a chill, "Don't say such disgusting words in a serious manner."

"Yeah, Dazai is a good kid, and I like Dazai too."

"O...Odasaku, what's wrong with you?"

…

Dazai Osamu, who didn't drink alcohol or milk, looked up at you before leaving with a dark look in his eyes: "There have been several cases of psychics committing suicide in Yokohama."

"The murderer chose those with strong or special abilities."

"You have to be careful..." His voice lowered, but soon returned to a cheerful tone, "Next time, give me wine with detergent in it."

"See you next time, Catman." Oda Sakunosuke also stood up and walked out the door with Dazai Osamu.

Watching the two people leaving the bar, you scratched your head, feeling like the NPCs at Yokohama have started to act as riddle tellers.

Oh no, the Mystery Man's symptoms are showing signs of being passed down from generation to generation. Is there no miracle doctor who can save him?

After chewing over Dazai Osamu's words over and over again, you realize that you still don't understand.

After you put the last clean glass back on the shelf, you decide to go back to the system logs and let the government blade decipher them for you.

When faced with a riddle from a riddle teller, you must use the riddle blade to answer it.

This is the "magic defeats magic" strategy used by the cat man!
