I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Regarding z1's question, z23 thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... if I'm not mistaken, they probably didn't like the pudding, right?"

After all, cheap pudding bought from the supermarket can't compare to a carefully prepared high-end dessert like limited edition pudding. This is probably the main reason why Z23's plan failed so badly.

"No matter what, we can only have Youyou make some pudding as bait to lure the other party."

Z23, having considered all this, needs to prepare more plans and should discuss them with Yuhaka and the others.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1431 [The Ghost-Catching Plan Using Youyou]

In the room where Laffey was, Z23 and the others also arrived and met up with Yuhaka and the others. They told Yuhaka and the others about the ghost. Upon hearing Z23's words, Javelin looked at Z23 with a frightened expression and said:

"A ghost?! The one who stole the pudding was a ghost?!"

Z23, with a helpless expression, spread his hands and said to the terrified Javelin:

"I'm sorry to say, but to be honest, I don't really believe it either. After all, it doesn't sound very scientific. I personally think it's more likely that it's something that humans possessed, but that possibility is very small."

After all, Z23 couldn't possibly be so stupid as to use such advanced technology to steal pudding. Humans with this kind of technology would have a high salary and status in society. They could eat as much pudding as they wanted without having to steal it.

Moreover, it was stolen from a ship girl. Humans have very strict laws against humans offending ship girls. Even stealing a ship girl's belongings can result in a sentence of more than five years. This is no joke.

Ayanami, standing to the side, looked at Z23 with a curious expression and said:

Did Z23 manage to catch them?

Regarding Ayanami's question, Z23 shook his head and said:

"No, I didn't try to catch them. After all, if I acted rashly, it might make them more vigilant, and it wouldn't be so easy to find and catch them next time."

After all, the other party can become invisible, and they have no means of tracking them. If the other party gets away, they won't know where to find them.

After hearing Z23's explanation, Javelin looked at Yhaka, who was lying on the bed with Laffey eating snacks, and said:

"I see... So Z23 came here this time hoping Yuu-chan could come and help?"

Regarding the javelin issue, z23 nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's right. I want Youyou to help make some high-quality pudding as bait. That ghost has very high requirements for pudding. It's not interested in cheap pudding bought from supermarkets. So I want Youyou to come and help make pudding. If possible, I also want Youyou to help catch that pudding thief. With Youyou's adventure experience, you must have encountered ghost-like enemies before, right?"

Hearing Javelin and Z23 calling his name, Yhaka, who was munching on snacks, naturally overheard their conversation. When asked about Z23's question, Yhaka put on a thoughtful expression, and then nodded, indicating that he had also beaten up ghost-like enemies.

Eyjafjalla has beaten up quite a few of those useless Pokémon and wandering spirits.

Seeing that Yuhaka had defeated the ghost-like enemy, Z23 naturally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Yuhaka had no way to deal with the ghost, Z23 wouldn't know what to do with it either.

After asking Yuhaka to make pudding, Yuhaka borrowed Raffi's kitchen to make some fruit pudding. After Yuhaka finished making the pudding, Z23 and the others began to devise a plan to capture the ghost thief.

First, the venue was chosen to be near the cafeteria warehouse, since the other party's last appearance there made z23 think that the other party might come to check the pudding inventory in the warehouse regularly.

So they were also prepared to set traps in the cafeteria warehouse area.

.................................................. ..................

Located in the cafeteria's storage area, Kashino was so shocked by Z23's explanation that his tail stood on end. Looking terrified, Kashino asked Z23 in an incredulous tone:

"Was it really a ghost?!"

Z23 scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said in response to Kashino's words:

"No, we can't confirm that yet, but we need to requisition the warehouse to set up the other party. Could you please move some of the relatively dangerous items away, Kashino?"

I'm a little worried that Youyou and the others might start fighting while they're trying to capture the ghost at the warehouse, and it would be troublesome if they damaged something."

After hearing Z23's explanation, Kashino nodded and said:

"I understand! I'll have the Manjuu remove any dangerous items. Is there anything else I need to prepare?"

After hearing Kashino's words, z23 thought for a moment and then said to Kashino:

"Hmm... If possible, could you please prepare a large box that can fit Yu-Yu inside? We'll need it later."

Upon hearing Z23's request, Kashino nodded in agreement. Soon after, with the help of Banjuu and Kashino, Z23 and her team prepared the venue setup. To avoid arousing the other party's suspicion, Z23 and her team tried to recreate the scene as accurately as possible, so as not to alert the other party due to any discrepancies in the setting.

Inside a box, Yuhaka, with an "OwO" expression, sat in a gym-like squatting position, hugging her short legs and looking up at Z23 and the others outside. Seeing this, Javelin and the others felt a strong sense of guilt for some reason, like abandoning a cat or dog they had raised for a long time. Especially the way Yuhaka's innocent big eyes looked at them made them involuntarily think of that...

With an embarrassed expression, Z23 held the lid and looked at Yuhaka, saying:

"I'm sorry, Youyou, you'll have to stay here quietly for now. I'll take you out for a big meal after this is all over."

"A feast! Yay! OwO~"

Seeing Yuhaka looking happy and wagging its big tail, Z23 and the others felt a little better. However, it was indeed a bit unfair to Yuhaka, since it couldn't make any noise while hiding in the box, and it wouldn't be good if it scared others away.

However, Yhaka can peek outside through the gaps in the box, although he doesn't really need all of that to notice what's happening outside.

Soon, with everyone ready, the plan to capture the pudding thief began again.

......a few hours later...

night.....

In the cafeteria break room, Z23 and the others were watching the video footage from the security cameras. Because the wait was a bit long, Z23 and the others couldn't help but yawn. However, the process was quite boring.

Meanwhile, Yhaka curled up into a ball inside the box and fell asleep. Clearly, waiting for too long had made Yhaka a little impatient. If Z23 hadn't said that he would treat him to a big meal if he caught the pudding thief, Yhaka would have already grabbed Esther and gone to find the pudding thief who had made him wait so long.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. Just now, Yuhaka's psychic senses detected something approaching. Z23 and the others, who were in the lounge and saw Yuhaka's reaction through the camera inside the box, asked her:

"Youyou, did you find something?"

Upon hearing Z23 and the others' voices through their earpieces, Yuhaka responded with an "uh-huh" to indicate that she had spotted the target. After hearing Yuhaka's response, Z23 and the others immediately became extremely alert, staring intently at the large monitor screen, waiting for the enemy to appear.

Yuhaka was also observing the scene outside through the gap in the box. Soon, Yuhaka saw a white figure pass through the warehouse wall. Upon closer inspection, Yuhaka also discovered that this ghost... seemed to be a girl, and a ghost loli at that.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1432 [Youyou Defeats the Pudding Thief OwO]

Yuhaka looked at the Pudding Thief with a puzzled expression, as he hadn't expected this ghost to look like the ghosts he had seen before.

The ghosts that Yuhaka had seen before all looked like grotesque undead creatures, and even the useless elves looked terrifying.

However, the light blue long hair and slender legs wearing black pantyhose that appeared before Yuhaka made it impossible for Yuhaka to associate them with the ghosts he had seen before, which made Yuhaka tilt his head involuntarily.

At the same time, the ghostly loli who came through the cafeteria warehouse sniffed as if she were smelling something and said:

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Miyako smells the aroma of high-class pudding, Nano!"

Upon hearing the ghost loli's words, Yuhaka couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"MiyakoOwO?"

Z23 and the others in the lounge heard Yuhaka muttering to herself and asked:

"Youyou, what did you mean by 'Gongzi' just now?"

Hearing Z23 and the others' doubts, Yuhaka told them about her situation. After hearing Yuhaka's words, Z23 and the others were surprised to learn that Pudding Thief was indeed a ghost, and a little girl ghost at that. This left Z23 and the others speechless.

However, before Z23 and the others could say anything, Yhaka jumped out of the box impatiently. After all, Yhaka was already getting impatient. If Z23 hadn't said there was a big meal, Yhaka would have turned the entire port upside down to find the thief.

"Pudding thief! Where are you going?!"

"pudding--?!"

The sudden appearance of Yuhaka startled the loli ghost named "Miyako," as she probably hadn't expected a Yuhaka to jump out of the box next to her.

Yuhaka jumped out and grabbed at Miyako. Startled, Miyako was tackled and knocked to the ground by Yuhaka.

"Youyou caught it! OwO!"

Z23 and the others in the lounge looked puzzled when they saw Yuhaka pounce on thin air. However, after hearing what Yuhaka said, it seemed that Yuhaka had caught the other person, even though they couldn't see the other person's figure.

"Youyou, hold on! We're coming right away!"

As they spoke, Z23 and the others ran towards where Yuhaka was, leaving Kashino standing there bewildered, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, on Yuhaka and Miyako's side, Miyako, who had been frightened by Yuhaka, quickly recovered and, with her cheeks puffed out, used her ghostly physique to sneak underground. Yuhaka's eyes widened when he saw Miyako disappear underground.

After all, Yuhaka hadn't expected that the other party could actually sneak underground. Yuhaka then lay on the ground, tail wagging, searching for Miyako's whereabouts. Miyako, who had been underground, emerged from the ground, hands on her hips, floating in mid-air, looking down at Yuhaka who was searching for her with his tail wagging, and said:

"Pfft~ What are you doing, Nano?! Why did you suddenly appear and scare Miyako Nano?!"

Upon hearing Miyako's words, Yuhaka turned around and, like a cat lying in ambush, lay on the ground staring at her, saying:

"Youyou is catching the pudding thief! OwO~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Miyako shook her head, looking around warily, and said:

"Pudding! Pudding?! Where is Pudding the thief?!"

Yuhaka looked at Miyako with an "OwO? ?" expression, after all, the thief was right in front of her.

Miyako noticed Yuhaka's gaze and frowned, saying:

Why are you looking at Miyako?

"Youyou is watching Pudding Thief OwO~"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Miyako pointed to herself with a puzzled expression and said:

"Miyako? Is she the pudding thief?"

Yuhaka nodded with an "OwO" expression in response to Miyako's words. Seeing Yuhaka's action, Miyako blinked and said with a puzzled look:

"Huh? When did Miyako ever steal pudding, Nano?"

Upon hearing Miyako's words, Yuhaka looked at her with a "OO?" expression. His large tail scratched the back of Yuhaka's head as if he didn't quite understand. Clearly, Yuhaka was also confused by Miyako's words.

"Those puddings that were stolen here, weren't they eaten by Miyako?"

Regarding Yuhaka's question, Miyako, with her hands tucked into her sleeves and a smug expression, said:

"Oh, you mean those delicious puddings? Those delicious puddings were of course the Nano that Miyako found~"

Upon hearing Miyako's words, Yuhaka was immediately shocked by her shameless reply. What an incredibly brazen answer! Yuhaka had thought that only he could be so shameless, but he never expected that Miyako could do what he had done. Yuhaka was quite impressed by Miyako's shamelessness.

Miyako took out her large silver soup ladle and looked at Yuhaka, saying:

"If you try to steal pudding from Miyako, she'll turn you into pudding and eat you up, Nano~"

Seeing Miyako take out her weapon, Yuhaka also took out the Baradion sword without hesitation. As for why he didn't take out the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, it was because he was afraid that Ester would kill Miyako. After all, Z23 and the others had told Yuhaka not to hurt the other party, because the other party had only stolen food and had not hurt anyone, so it was not worth fighting.

Of course, if the opponent really was a ghost-like undead creature, Yuhaka would probably just pull out Ester and chop it up.

After both sides drew their weapons, several will-o'-the-wisps appeared around Miyako, and many things around her floated up and crashed towards Yuhaka. As for the boxes that flew towards them, Yuhaka simply opened a dimensional portal and threw the boxes into it.

This prevented the food in the box from spilling all over the floor. At the same time, Yuhaka used this plan to rush in front of Miyako and slash at her with his sword.

When Yuhaka attacked, Miyako simply closed her eyes and looked completely unconcerned about being hit. After all, Miyako was a ghost, and it was practically impossible to attack her with physical means without any special techniques.
