Chapter 163: Target, Gill!

"You can go with peace of mind. I'll watch over you, senpai!" Mashu said, holding her fists to her chest, feeling reluctant but still smiling as she watched Gudako's determined resolve to face the cat and dog.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

However, upon hearing Mashu's words, Gudako stopped in her tracks and abandoned her act. She turned to Mashu with a puzzled expression, "Mashu, why aren't you trying to persuade me?"

"Persuade...? Persuade you about what?" Mashu tilted her head in confusion, unsure of what Gudako was talking about.

Gudako wanted to facepalm but restrained herself, wondering why she had such an innocent and naive underclassman. How could her intelligent and valiant underclassman be so naive?

Taking a deep breath, Gudako tried to hint to Mashu again, but this time she made it almost explicit, "Persuade me not to fight Schrdinger."

Mashu pondered for a moment. 'Could it be...senpai doesn't want to part with me, so she's using the excuse of not wanting me to persuade her to spend more time with me?'

Touched by this thought, Mashu's eyes became moist.

Yes, that's it. Her eyes were moist.

Fighting back her reluctance to let tears flow, Mashu looked straight at Gudako and said, "Senpai, you cannot fight Schrdinger."

"Great!" Gudako immediately cheered. "Since you strongly advised me against it, I won't fight Schrdinger!"

"......?" Mashu tilted her head, looking puzzled.

However, upon observing Spike, Bai Song doesn't see Gudako anywhere. All he sees is Spike holding a shield in his left hand.

"Where's Gudako? Where is she?" Bai Song asks.

With a confident smile, Spike looks up and casually tosses Tom to the side, replying to Bai Song's question without a word. Bai Song is relieved by Spike's confident expression.

Startled for a moment, Bai Song had thought they hadn't captured Gudako, but it turned out to be a false alarm. He had almost believed that he would never find his battery again. He speculates that Gudako might be trapped in some alternate dimension, just like Ryuunosuke was before.

Spike confidently throws the shield he was holding between himself and Bai Song, making a loud impact sound, "Bang!!!" Then, Spike spreads both hands towards the shield on the ground.

Following Spike's actions, Bai Song's gaze also moves to the direction of the shield. Confused, Bai Song asks, "So, where's Gudako?" He didn't seem to see Gudako anywhere.

Spike tilts his head, not quite understanding why Bai Song is asking about Gudako when it has already handed 'Gudako' over to him. So, Spike spreads both hands towards the shield again.

Confused once more, Bai Song looks at the shield, and what he sees makes him gasp in shock. At the bottom of the cross on the shield, there's unmistakably orange hair Gudako's hair!

"Gulp, this is... the Gudako you brought back?" Bai Song is astonished and swallows hard, his face filled with surprise and doubt as he looks back at Spike.

Facing Bai Song's question, Spike lifts its head even higher and stands tall with hands on its hips. Looking back at the hair on the shield, Bai Song gasps again, his mind racing.

"Oh no, did Spike scalp Gudako?"
