The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Boss, what are you up to now?"

"It's just a game, but you'll have to help out later!"

"Tsk!" Mick clicked his tongue. "I knew you called me back; it couldn't be anything good!"

Stop dawdling!

Miku slapped Mick on the head, and in his mind, he also contacted Parad, who was in the game world.

Parad, who was using his pieces to utterly crush his opponent, paused for a moment, then his smile widened the next second.

"It's finally my turn to make my appearance!"

With a wave of his hand, Parad accelerated the game's progress and defeated the player who had persisted for so long in just a few dozen seconds.

The match has ended.

As the game ended, Parad also disappeared from the game world, instead invading the game realm where the little angel was located through the spatial rift that Miku had opened for him.

The little angel, who was locked in a fierce battle with the black Exaid, noticed the opening of the spatial rift and was immediately alarmed.

This gave the black Exaid an opportunity, and the flawed shield on his right hand slashed across his body.

"Fuck!"

The little angel, whose energy in the Knight's Gauge had dropped significantly, quickly jumped back and looked warily at the newcomer.

"We can finally have a game match, M!"

......

CR.

"No, I can't just lie here like this!" Shrimp Dumpling struggled to get up, and Poppy quickly came over to stop her: "You're a patient now, you can't move around!"

"no!"

"I want to contribute my share to Emu and the others!"

"But you're already like this, what can you possibly do?"

Poppy mercilessly exposed the bloody truth, and Shrimp Dumpling smiled: "Have you forgotten that I've already developed a new cartridge?"

"If they can get the cassette tape, they'll win!"

Shrimp Dumpling grasped Poppy's hand: "So I'm begging you, Poppy!"

"Go to my company, get the cassette tape, and then bring this power to them!"

Chapter 19: The Chess Player Parad, the Little Angel Acquires the Prototype Gadget

The gaming industry.

In the valley shrouded in the pitch-black night, only a few fires provided illumination. As the firelight flickered, three shadows were cast on the mountainside, intertwined with each other.

"what!"

Parad seized an opening to dodge the slash from the flawed shield of the black Exaid's right arm in chainsaw mode.

The rapidly spinning, flawed saw blade, with its dull, sharp gleam, would definitely hurt if you were hit by it.

Just as Palad dodged, the little angel kicked the black Exaid in the face, making the latter stagger. At the same time, the little angel quickly retreated, giving the other two a wary look.

"Ugh, this is so boring!"

As he spoke, Parad, not forgetting to attack, kicked the black Exaid, who was like a puppet, backward.

"Fighting with three people is too troublesome, it's better to clear the area!"

Parad activated a function of his armor by touching a spot on his thick left arm.

"Checkerboard, Open!"

His left arm guard instantly opened and transformed into a pale yellow chessboard with straight black lines on it.

The moment the chessboard appeared on the left, a square grid pattern resembling a chessboard also appeared beneath the feet of the three Palads.

The little angel looked at Parad with suspicion. Parad chuckled softly and said to the little angel, "Don't worry, M!"

"We'll be able to have one-on-one duels soon!"

The little angel, still bewildered by Parad's words, hadn't even reacted when the black Exaid beside him suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Disappeared!?"

Startled by the sudden disappearance of the black Exaid, the little angel immediately became wary of Parad, asking, "Did you do this?"

"We just don't want anyone to bother us!"

Palad removed the chessboard from his left hand and tossed it into the air.

The little angel's eyes were fixed on the chessboard. As soon as the opponent opened the board, the black Exaid disappeared.

It must be because of that chessboard, and a small figure similar to the black Exaid has appeared on the chessboard.

"The chessboard won't be locked down for long, let's hurry!"

With a flick of his arm, Palad took a step forward, his figure flashing as he closed in on the little angel.

The little angel, who was extremely shocked by Parad's speed, was completely unprepared for Parad's sudden appearance.

"Oh!"

The moment "Hit" appeared, the little angel took a solid punch.

"How could it be so fast?"

The question had barely arisen when Palad disappeared again.

"Where did you go?"

The little angel, who was searching for Palad's figure with wide eyes, was suddenly caught in a gust of wind from behind.

"Here I am, M!"

Parad's excited voice rang out, and the little angel was struck hard by Parad again.

"Instant teleportation?"

The moment the little angel had this thought, Palad disappeared again, reappearing right beside him.

"Boom!"

He barely managed to block the opponent's heavy punch, but Parad changed position again the next second.

This time it's a head-on collision!

"Boom!"

A heavy fist slammed into the little angel's chin from below, and as the chin was struck hard, a strong wave of dizziness washed over her.

A series of swirling stars appeared overhead, and the little angels began to sway left and right as if they were drunk.

"M, this won't do!"

"How can we keep getting beaten up?" Parad stepped back a few meters, put one hand on his hip, and said, "There's no fun in just endlessly tormenting people!"

"You bastard..."

The little angel, who had forcibly steadied herself, gritted her teeth at Palad. This guy who had suddenly barged in not only spoke to her in a tone that sounded very familiar, but had also captured her target.

"This is so boring!"

Parad, tilting his head back and swaying his body, patted his chest and said, "Fine, I'll give you a hint!"

"Our Knight System can engage in various forms of combat based on the inserted crystal cards. My crystal card is Chasse Player!"

"In other words, they are warriors who fight using the methods of chess!"

"That's all the hints I have. Whether you can catch me now depends on your skills!"

"M!"

......

The real world.

Poppy, wearing a helmet, rode a black and white motorcycle with the AID logo. His knuckles were white as he gripped the handlebars.

"Faster, faster!"

Upon learning that Shrimp Dumpling had developed a new game cartridge, Poppy rushed to Genm Games, running countless red lights along the way.

Poppy usually obeys traffic rules, but in this emergency, she can't care about that anymore.

Poppy, who had been rushed to Genm Games, took the ID given to her by Xiajiao and made her way to the top floor without any obstacles.

Poppy burst into Shrimp Dumpling's office and quickly went to his desk, then pulled open the drawer on the left.

Inside was blue velvet, and inside the velvet were four cassettes of different colors.

"This is it!"

Poppy's figure, holding the cartridge, vanished instantly, transforming into a data stream that entered the game world.

At the same time.

CR.

Lying on the hospital bed, Xia Jiao, breathing heavily, gripped the thin blanket covering him tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination as he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

"Just bear with it a little longer!"

"Just a little more patience and my plan will succeed!"

Despite the pain from the game virus she had injected herself with, a blush appeared on Xiajiao's pale face.

"As long as we succeed, then all of this will not have been in vain!"

"I must persevere for my dream!"
