This pile of "***", combined with the cold-blooded killer character of Qinwa, makes it hard to associate it with anything healthy and legal.
The slight sense of guilt that Hojo Natsuki had felt suddenly disappeared completely.
Never feel sorry for a killer quack.
Thinking this way, he turned off his phone and prepared to keep the cold war in Kurosawa for a few more days. However, the cold war is like the flag that is often said, "I won't do XXX for a month". It's fine as long as you can hold it in. Once a hole is opened, the flood will rush out from the crack and become worse. Thinking over and over again, the flag fell to the ground casually.
Half an hour later, Hojo Natsuki opened the game again and sent a message to Gua.
He rarely beats around the bush on personal matters. If he doesn't understand something or really wants to know something, he'll just ask directly. ... But the exception is when he's talking to Dazai Osamu.
[Natsuki]: Are you thinking about something weird
A long time passed and the frog did not come back. Perhaps it was because the small pond in the United States was particularly clear and it was enjoying it so much that it did not want to leave.
Hojo Natsuki uses [Stoka].
I misunderstood it. I was busy with work and didn't check the messages on my phone.
There was a bloody moon hanging in the sky, lighting up the abandoned alley with a spooky look. A man in a black cape and holding a gun walked through the alley with great caution. At this time, the background music of the game also became mysterious and gloomy.
“Whoosh—”
A bat glides by.
The frog fired a shot in the direction it left, then quickly moved.
System: [[Piano Frog] vs. [Bat Trap], about to start! ]
Hojo Natsuki: "Why is it a bat trap..."
He soon understood, because Batclaw's voice is so shrill and artificial. The laughter of other villains is "Hahahaha!", "Jiejiejie!", "Hehehehe!", while Batclaw's laughter is a slow and resentful "嘤嘤嘤嘤", which makes the listeners confused, frown and get goose bumps... Batman lost a person, so it was Batclaw.
In reality, this is a thrilling chase; on the mobile phone, even with the tense BGM, because the protagonists are two little animals, it looks cute and interesting anyway.
The battle between Frog and BatClip lasted for a while, and finally ended with Ter's victory. BatClip was shot by Gua with a few bullets and sent to heaven to fulfill his filial piety to his parents.
The victorious frog walked slowly forward, rode its beloved tricycle at the intersection, and then conjured up a simple medical kit like magic to bandage its wound. This level of injury is commonplace for the frog, and the frog didn't even frown (in fact, it has no eyebrows). It handled it skillfully, and then opened its phone to check the message.
Although it has a bad temper, is moody, has dangerous thoughts, is extremely rebellious, and has no respect for others...but once it gets hurt, Hojo Natsuki softens his heart again.
[Gin]：
[Natsuki]：
[Gin]：…
[Natsuki]: I’m asking you a question.
[Gin]：.
I was brushed off! I didn't even want to say "oh"!
[Natsuki]: Have you reconsidered
Hojo Natsuki threw a question that had no beginning or end, but the other party would definitely understand what he meant.
Sure enough, the other party responded quickly, short and powerful.
[Gin]: No
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
As expected.
He decided to be honest about some of the differences between the two worlds.
[Natsuki]: We haven’t spoken in ten days
[Natsuki]：But actually, I only spent three days here
The silver-haired Guagua sitting on the scooter was holding a cigarette with a calm expression. He held the phone in his paws and typed away.
[Gin]：Oh.
[Gin]：And then what
[Natsuki]: Your time is three times faster than mine
Currently, he is 21 years old and Kurosawa Jin is 26 years old.
It was not as he thought, the gap in the speed of time would never be bridged.
[Gin]: Are you worried about this? [The other party is typing...]
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
Wait, that’s not what I meant by giving this example!
He hurriedly tried to make amends: [Don't get me wrong]
Then I got stuck and didn't know how to organize the language for the supplementary explanation. My finger stayed on the cursor of the dialog box and I couldn't type a complete line of explanation.
[Gin]：I guessed it a long time ago.
[Gin]: Come back and tell me.
Seeing the other party's reply, Hojo Natsuki felt inexplicably relieved, but not long after, his mood became complicated again and he couldn't describe the feeling.
Because he hadn't figured out how to face it, he procrastinated very skillfully and resumed his daily life before receiving the game cabin, going to work, slacking off to play games, resting, playing games before going to bed, and chatting with Qinwa every day, keeping a distance and maintaining superficial peace, neither too salty nor too bland.
In the past, when I was raising frogs, I would play [Simulation Business] out of boredom, but in the past few days, Hojo Natsuki has spent much more time on [Simulation Business] than on spending time with the frog.
He was extremely conflicted. Every time he opened the game, he would first read Qinwa's messages and system notifications and reply with a few words. He always felt uncomfortable, as if something was undone. His heart seemed empty, like a social animal who stayed up late at night and couldn't bear to go to bed. So he opened [Simulation Business], tossed around organizing the employees, torturing Rumquat, and observing Kudo Shinichi.
The puppy Boss successfully moved into 2-23, Beika-cho, and enjoyed a beautifully decorated villa all to himself.
Hojo Natsuki opened its dressing interface and wanted to change its face, just like Akai Yu Yu disguised as Okiya Yu Yu, and approached Kudo Shinichi Chicken after disguising himself, but found that things were not that simple.
After playing for so long, I upgraded quickly and my avatar also had a new function column called [Special].
[Headgear], [Clothing], [Shoes], [Special]
He clicked on it and wanted to take off the sad frog mask, but unexpectedly discovered that this thing had an additional hidden attribute.
[Sad Frog Headgear [Original Leather]] [Wearing]
[Introduction: 100% sad frog, 100% frog, sad frog headgear, help you perfectly integrate into the frog organization~]
[Primary Privacy Protection Mechanism]: When others take off your headgear, they cannot see your face; only when you take off your headgear will your true face be revealed to others
[Privacy protection mechanism·Advanced]: When wearing this headgear, others cannot remember your appearance and behavior characteristics
Simply put, when he wears the mask, there is a blurry impression buff, and the employees forget him as soon as they see him. Even if Hojo Natsuki takes off the mask and stands in front of them, he is difficult to recognize because of the exact same body shape and behavior habits.
[Special]: [Disguise], [Frog Voice Changer]...
[Disguise][Wearable]
[Introduction: The god-level human face mask that is at the pinnacle of scientific technology, even [Vermouth Qua] has to admit defeat! ]
[Fake and Real - Elementary]: Game characters with Disguise Skill Level S or below cannot see through your perfect disguise unless they get a perfect chain of evidence (this mechanism is invalid for [Kudo Shinichi Chicken])
Shinichi is indeed the chosen one favored by the world's will. He has some privileges, but not much. Although he can see through the top human face disguise, he cannot see through the identity of the Sad Frog Boss. In this battle between cheaters and cheaters, Hojo Natsuki has a slight advantage.
In this case, he might as well abandon his disguise and fabricate an ordinary identity. It would be best if he could sever his ties with the toy factory and prove his innocence... He could also blend in. After all, 98% of the thousands of employees in the toy factory were real ordinary people. Anyway, the organization members would not be able to recognize the Boss without a mask.
Hojo Natsuki made a general plan, bought some souvenirs, controlled the dog Boss, and knocked on the door of Kudo Shinichi's house.
A small grey pigeon flew out with its wings flapping, and landed at the door. It did not open the door directly, but poked its head in and looked carefully.
White puppy eyes.
[N]: Hello, kid, are your parents here
Shinichi Chicken didn't seem to be happy to be called "little friend". A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on its fluffy face. It replied in a muffled voice: "My parents are traveling. What's the matter?"
Detective Chick has a happy family and his parents love them more than they love their son. As a result, Shinichi Chick often becomes a left-behind pigeon boy.
[N]: I am a newcomer to Hojo, living at No. 23, and I want to meet my new neighbors.
Hojo Natsuki was startled and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wait, the last name he typed was clearly "Kawana", how did it become "Hojo"
[System]: You cannot use a pseudonym in front of [Kudo Shinichi Chicken]
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
Damn, it turns out I was too happy too early. The little pigeon really has two feather brushes. I don’t know what’s waiting for him next.
Even his name has been revealed, so his Boss identity must be kept tightly hidden.
[N]：This is a snack I bought in Nagoya. It's a token of my appreciation. I wonder if it suits your taste.
Kudo Shinichi seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was recalling the small trucks from the moving company that he had been seeing recently. He then looked at the puppy Boss for a few more times, and seeing that it looked like a harmless white ball of wool, he hesitantly opened the door for Hojo Natsuki.
[Kudo Shinichi Chicken]: My name is Kudo Shinichi Chicken, Mr. Hojo, please come in and sit down.
The little pigeon was well-educated, and although he was a little reluctant, he had already skillfully assumed the posture of doing business.
But the Kudo couple were not at home, so Hojo Natsuki would not be able to get in.
[N]: It’s getting late. I have to go back to make dinner. I’ll come visit you next time when your parents come back.
Kudo Shinichi also guessed that he would respond like this, and said a few polite words.
When the polite conversation during the first meeting was almost over, a light bulb suddenly popped up on Gray Pigeon's forehead. Shinichi suddenly changed from being listless and pretending to be happy, and his pair of small black bean-like eyes suddenly became bright and wise, even reflecting the same weird light as Akai Yuyu (? ).
System: [[Kudo Shinichi Chicken] remembered you! It has an impression of you and [Qin Frog]! ]
Hojo Natsuki was not surprised. After all, he was the protagonist, and he didn't deliberately avoid Shinichi.
Anyway, with him watching, Qinwa would not attack the pigeon. When Xinyiji goes to high school, he will probably work part-time during the holidays to experience life, right? Then he can introduce Xinyiji to the toy factory in the name of a neighbor.
It is only natural that the toy factory’s image is currently packaged quite well.
As for the Koto Frog, the Kurosawa formation.
With Shinichi's aura as the protagonist, it is unlikely to completely avoid encountering Kurosawa Jin. At that time, he can say that he is a senior employee of the toy factory, a senior HR, a security guard, or something like that. It is better to just be a security guard. Since the system has said "Aka-Aka-Ryukatsu", the position that Akai Yuyu once held, Qinwa can also be perfectly qualified.
Puppy Boss: "Shinichi Chicken, this is your Uncle Kurosawa."
Shinichi called out obediently, "Uncle Kurosawa."
Then Qinwa sneered: "Uncle, I..." ... Forget it, there is no need for that.
Hojo Natsuki imagined the scene and nodded with satisfaction.
But now, it is the first meeting between Puppy Boss and Shinichi Chicken.
At this moment, the little pigeon on the screen had its two feet stepping on each other, as if it was preparing to step on its left paw with its right paw to fly into the sky. It was obviously in an extremely conflicted look.
It thought about it, and thought again, and finally adopted a more tactful way of asking.
[Kudo Shinichi Chicken]: Mr. Hojo, do you live alone
There was nothing wrong with a child asking an adult man this question, it was just pure curiosity. Hojo Natsuki was about to answer when he saw a message pop up on the system to help Shinichiji with his question.
System: [[Kudo Shinichi Chicken] wants to know if you live with [Qinwa]]
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
Why does it feel like this little pigeon is playing with colors
That’s not possible. It’s still a child. It must be an illusion, right
He recalled that it was New Year's Eve, and maybe when Dove and his two friends came out, they happened to see him and Kurosawa.
Two grown men walking side by side after shopping in the supermarket at night are most likely roommates. Xinyiji is a detective pigeon, so it is natural for him to be curious... You can't assume that he is gay based on this, right
[N]: Yes, I live alone.
Shinichi tilted his head, with a confused [? ] appearing on his head.
[Kudo Shinichi Chicken]: Wouldn’t it be lonely living alone in such a big house
[N]: Not bad
Hojo Natsuki thought that my house in Yokohama was bigger and it would be nice to live alone there since I wouldn’t have to do housework anyway.
[N]：Sometimes friends come to visit me, so I am not lonely.
You can pick up the frog and Shirley Qua to play with!
However, Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes, raised one corner of his mouth and smiled, looking devilishly, as if he was saying proudly "I knew it would be like this."
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
What's wrong with this cocky little pigeon
