Chapter 158: Mashu Sold! Yikes.jpg
"Mashu, what are you doing, Mashu!!!" Seeing Mashu still in a daze, Gudako immediately halted and shouted loudly.
"Huh? Oh!" Upon hearing Gudako's cry, Mashu finally snapped out of it and tried to reach out to catch the rather awkward-looking wig.
But... she was a step too late. Due to Gudako's sudden toss, and with Mashu in motion, she didn't have a chance to catch the wig. Her right fingertip was merely an inch away from it!
Nevertheless, Mashu didn't give up hope; she was still trying!
"Ha!" With a tight grip, a dog-chewed shield suddenly appeared in Mashu's hand. It had a distinct design, being a round shield with a gigantic cross structure. It served not only as a defensive shield but also as a weapon with the extension of the cross, which Mashu often utilized in her attacks.
Now, she attempted to hook the longest part of the cross shield as an extension of her arm, trying to catch the wig that was about to fall to the ground.
To her delight, the wig was successfully hooked by her shield. "Ah, I did it!"
"Great, I'll leave this wig in your care for now, Mashu!"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Seeing Mashu successfully grabbing her wig, Gudako was relieved. However, Gudako chose to keep her distance from Mashu and leaned toward C Chulainn, who was running on her right side.
"Senpai, why are you...?" Mashu asked in confusion, watching Gudako move away.
But before Mashu could finish her question, she suddenly realized a very serious problem. Gudako had ripped off her wig because Schrdinger said the one with orange hair was Gudako, and the cat and dog were chasing Gudako. Since her senpai had orange hair, it meant she must be Gudako.
The most critical part was when Gudako had thrown the wig, she used the Mystic Code's inherent adhesive Magecraft. Except for her, it was almost impossible for others to pull it off, as demonstrated by C Chulainn's failed attempt to remove the little black dress earlier.
Thus, after she was safe and summoned Mashu using the Command Seals, her only wig would be summoned alongside her, as it was stuck to Mashu's shield.
No one would be harmed in this plan. It might not be a true, perfect plan, but what plan could be called perfect? None!
At least... that's how Gudako saw it.
"Senpai!!!" Watching Gudako leave, Mashu's heart sank. It was evident that Gudako was about to sell her teammate again!
Having witnessed Gudako selling teammates before, Mashu had only tried to stop her attempts with limited success. Usually, her efforts were in vain, and Mashu would end up relenting in the end. But this time, she couldn't compromise on Gudako's action because... this time, Gudako was selling her Mashu herself!
"Ha!" With her left hand grabbing the orange wig attached to her shield and her right hand tightly holding the shield with a dog-bitten mark, Mashu attempted to remove the wig from her shield.
However, using all her strength to pull the wig would severely impact Mashu's running speed. In less than two seconds, Tom, riding on Spike, caught up with Mashu from behind at an incredibly swift pace.
"Hehe Haha Hahaha!" With an evil grin, Tom seized the opportunity and the right distance. He stuffed the obstructive red spear into Spike's mouth, then leaped onto Spike's head and pulled out a lasso from behind.
Holding the end of the lasso in his left hand and continually swinging it in the air with his right, Tom now looked just like a cowboy from a Western movie a cowboy ready to rope a mare!
Having aimed at Mashu and with the lasso now at sufficient speed in his right hand, Tom decisively threw the lasso towards Mashu!
