"A claw for a rat tooth? It's not a reasonable deal! ”

Another member of the Quest Society recognized the coins floating in mid-air as the most useless rat tooth coins.

I don't think anyone will pick it up when it's thrown into the garbage.

"First of all, this thing is called a victory coin, and it is much more useful than that rat tooth, and secondly, if you don't want to buy it, you can leave here, and I won't stop you."

Qiao Xiu pointed to the place of the mouth with the tail of the orange cat, since the arcade hall of the Sewing Gang had been open.

Although Marceau is the nominal owner of this arcade, the person in charge of things in the secret is still Qiao Xiu.

There's a great place in the city that is... With a big fist, you can really do nothing, and this orange cat's little paw doesn't know how many strong men of the sewing gang have knocked over.

"You... Hand that guy over to me..."

"A talon, I'll pay."

Another member of the Quest stopped the impulsive guy at the moment when the inscription appeared on the orange cat.

He took out a talon coin and placed it on the table, as he took the other game coin that was floating in the air.

"What's your name?"

Orange Cat sits on the arcade machine where Blacktail plays, watching the members of the Quest Club who sit in front of the arcade with coins in hand.

"The Ring of Scales."

The member of the Quest Society spoke his name in a deep voice, and his voice sounded a little different from that of a human.

He observed Qiao Xiu with his pupils hidden in the shadow of his top hat, and Qiao Xiu could hear an emotion called respect in his voice.

This respect may come from the magic of the orange cat.

There is a lot of magic in this world that attaches one's consciousness to animals.

"You can't escape."

The member of the Quest Guild named Scales Ring knows the rules very well, and he sits down directly next to Blacktail, but his attitude towards Blacktail is not so kind.

A cold aura like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter seeped from his voice.

As soon as he said this cruel sentence, the next second he made a difficulty.

This member of the Quest Society was first exposed to this magical magic machine, and he had no idea what to do with the coins in his hand.

"Throw it inside." Qiao Xiu pointed at the coin slot with the tail of the orange cat again.

The Scales figured out the magical coin in his hand and tossed it into the arcade's slot.

"Press this button and sit down." Qiao Xiu once again gave a novice guide to the member of the Exploration Society.

The Scale Ring did so, and he pressed the button, and the image projected on the arcade machine changed, from the battle screen to the screen of choosing a person.

Probably an illusion... At this moment, Qiao Xiu really heard the sound of a snake spitting out from the scale ring.

The Scale Ring sat down next to Blacktail, who tensed up like a mouse being targeted by a snake.

"Even... I can't even choose someone, and I want to beat me! ”

Saying this, Heiwei subconsciously moved his position to the left, and Qiao Xiu noticed that its hands had begun to tremble.

It seems that Blacktail is really afraid of this group of people who will explore the secrets.

The Scale Ring learned from Blacktail's operation, holding the joystick with his gloved hands and resting them on the buttons.

The power of faith oozing from the joystick penetrated his body directly through his glove.

The moment he felt the power of faith, the Scaly Ring withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and the next second he slowly held his hand on the joystick, and the 'hiss' sound became much clearer again.

"This guy can't be the legendary lizardman, right?"

Ciri's voice rang out from the orange cat's body, but Scales Ring's attention was focused on the unique senses that the power of faith brought to him, and the image in front of him.

So I didn't even notice Ciri's whispering in Joshy's ear.

"Strange powers." The Scale Ring muttered to himself, and when he felt the power of faith, the time to choose people had also come to an end.

Therefore, as the second player, he automatically chose the first team in The King of Fighters 97, that is, the three characters of Kusanagi Kyo, Daimun, and Red Pill.

"What happened?"

When the Scales Ring came back to his senses from the pleasurable senses of the power of faith, even the time to arrange the order of the characters' appearances had already passed, and he went straight to the battle screen.

When he notices that something is wrong, it is only Kuroo who controls his character Mary and beats him up with Kyo Kusanagi.

"This is your character's health, if it goes to zero, your character will be defeated." The orange cat points her tail at the health of the character on the side of the scales on the screen.

Scalering looked at the rapidly declining health and instantly realized that something was wrong, and he glanced at the black tail on his left side again.

Blacktail was frantically pressing the button next to the joystick, and it was too late for Blacktail to try to get his character to fight back.

The Kusanagi Kyo he used didn't even have time to use a move, and was directly ended by Mary's throw.

When Kusanagi Kyo fell to the ground and the word KO appeared on the screen, even the most stupid person realized that he had been defeated.

"How dare you use such insidious means!"

I didn't understand how it happened, and I thought it was a despicable way for Blacktail to sneak up on him before the battle.

"It's your own stupidity that has buried you!"

Blacktail listened to the angry voice of the Scales, and a sense of pleasure welled up in his heart, which had been chased by the Secret Society in the past.

Today, this guy is obviously sitting next to it, but he doesn't dare to do anything to it, and he has to be wantonly tortured and killed by it in the game.

Blacktail said that this thing was much more powerful than the Joy Concoction.

Unprovoked by Blacktail's words, the Scales Ring reinvigorates himself and finds a way to control the characters in the frame.

But this member of the Quest Club is... The first time he came into contact with the new arcade machine, maybe he didn't even understand the difference between heavy punches and light punches.

In the face of this kind of budding newcomer who has just been born for a few days, Blacktail uses a very despicable style of play.

That is, the lower light leg followed by the heavy leg.

This trick only works for newcomers who have never played the King of Fighters series, and it also works wonders.

Although the Scale Ring figured out that pushing the joystick backwards could make a defensive effect, when Mary, who was controlled by Blacktail, crouched down and kicked his legs, he was immediately forced to the side by Mary and beaten up severely without the concept of squatting defense.

Before he could figure out how to play his door, he was forced into a corner by Mary and kicked to death.

"Why!"

It was another game and died in humiliation without making a move.

When Blacktail let out a merciless laugh that looked like a mockery, the Scales felt the anger inside him rise a little.

"You'll have to crouch down to defend yourself to block this kid's kick."

Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Blacktail and Scales, and this time the game unwittingly attracted two or three members of the Sewing Gang.

It looks like the member of the Sewing Gang who reminded the Scales of the Ring... He was abused once by Blacktail with this insidious tactic.

"Squatting down?"

The third character in the Scale Ring is Nikaido Red Pill, if Qiao Xiu remembers correctly, the King of Fighters players back then seem to have given him a lot of nicknames, broom heads and the like.

And this member of the Exploration Society has an amazing understanding, and when Kuroo wants to repeat Mary's old technique, he has already learned the basic operation of crouching and defending.

"It's time for me to fight back." He whispered.
