Chapter 572: The Force of Action is Mutual, Just Like Mom’s Slaps! It Hurts Mom Too!
"Did the reaction force turn you into an exhibitionist?" Shinpachi muttered sarcastically.
"Renpou has already become a tool solely for that man's desires," Fujiko said thoughtfully, "If we don't defeat him, there's no future for Earth or Renpou. We need to find a way to approach that critical spot..."
Before she could finish, footsteps approached from behind Fujiko and Arushiro.
Fujiko, Kagura, and Shinpachi turned around to see a Renpou soldier with a yellow Mohawk pointing a rifle barrel from his mouth.
Instantly, Fujiko and Arushiro turned back around.
"This is bad, try not to whisper!" Fujiko whispered urgently.
"No, it's mostly you talking," Shinpachi whispered back sarcastically.
"Don't think this is just a simple meal gathering. We're under Midakuma's surveillance here," Fujiko warned, frowning, "If you drop a single grain of rice, you'll be executed immediately..."
Shinpachi's face instantly showed extreme fear.
"Don't worry, just follow my lead," said Fujiko, holding a plate of rice and glancing back at Arushiro.
"This is suddenly making me nervous."
"This is great, Shinpachi!" Kagura exclaimed, "They even have curry here!"
"Now's not the time to be happy, Kagura-chan!" Shinpachi scolded quietly, "And don't mix natto into the curry like usual!"
When it was finally Arushiro's turn, Shinpachi chose sweet curry. Watching the chef skillfully scoop out a red FC game cartridge and place it on the rice, Shinpachi's face froze.
[They called this curry, but it's just a red "Excitebike" on white rice!] Shinpachi's eyes widened in horror. [What is this? Are they bullying me for choosing sweet curry?!]
Seeing the tray before Arushiro, Fujiko raised a signboard: "Oh, sweet curry, what a child."
Seeing the "Rescue Helicopter" on Fujiko's plate, Shinpachi ranted internally, [The spicy one is just a black "Rescue Helicopter"?! What kind of planet is this?! Why are they eating FC game cartridges with rice?!]
"Quick, eat it while it's hot," Fujiko said, picking up the FC game cartridge with a fork and blowing on the contacts.
[Well, you do need to blow off the dust from the contacts...]
"Guess we have no choice but to follow local customs. Shinpachi, let's find a way to split this," Kagura said.
"Haha, FF should have Red Wings, even though I'm seasick," Sakamoto raised his signboard.
"Still no VB?" Katsura raised his signboard.
"No... this is bad!" Fujiko broke into a cold sweat, "DQ and FF are only for captains!"
"So even the captains eat FC game cartridges?!" Shinpachi ranted quietly, eyes wide.
"Especially DQ5 and FF, which are top-tier for generals! Layla is a luxury even generals rarely enjoy! As for Castlevania... it's a legendary rarity among Renpou!"
"What about Donkey Kong Jr.?" Shinpachi asked, expressionless.
"That's indeed a kids' meal."
Shinpachi: ...
Seeing the commotion caused by Kawaki and the others, the twin dragon generals stood up simultaneously.
"What are you doing?!" The blue-haired general raised his signboard.
"Do you grunts think you can have top-tier FC cartridges?!" The red-haired general raised his signboard.
[Oh no! The generals are mad!] Shinpachi thought in panic.
At the same time, the surrounding Renpou soldiers pulled rifles from their mouths and surrounded Kawaki's group.
[What are you doing, idiot squad?!] Shinpachi mentally screamed.
"Danger—!" Fujiko exclaimed.
A white figure broke through the Renpou soldiers and appeared before Kawaki and the others.
"I apologize, Twin Dragon Generals. Could you spare them for my Layla?" The white figure, Elizabeth, raised a signboard.
"What?! General Elizabeth, are they your subordinates?" The blue dragon general raised his signboard.
"A g-general?!" Shinpachi looked at the sudden appearance of Elizabeth, sweat dripping down his face, "Why is there a third general? Isn't there only supposed to be two?!"
