Chapter 401 The Cat Spirit from the Cat Kingdom—Nero the Cat Princess

It has a cat's face, cat ears on its head, and a cat's tail on its buttocks; it is indeed a "cat," without a doubt.

However, its exaggerated facial features are not those of a real animal. It stands on two legs like a human, and its combination of a white fleece sweater, a short skirt that goes past the knees, black trousers, and gray-black boots gives the first impression that it would fit perfectly into a claw machine at an amusement park.

The premise is that it cannot move or speak. When it starts to speak and move, the nature of the matter changes completely.

"Meow meow meow? Meow meow meow? Why aren't you saying anything, meow?"

The cat, whose entire body exuded curiosity, urged the world on while frantically darting around the world and Ren Xiaoyao, who was being held hostage by it. Although it wasn't moving very fast, each dart left a trail of afterimages.

When Cheng, who was in sync with the world, saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

Because this cat is a comedic character.

Cat ARC, also known as Princess Cat or Cat Princess, comes from "Fighting Princess Tsukihime/MBAACC". She is a cat spirit living in the "Cat Kingdom". Her appearance and attire are exactly the same as "Arquette Brunstad", the true progenitor princess of the same world. However, no one knows what the exact connection is between the two. She will leave the Cat Kingdom for fun and to pass the time, appearing in the mortal world and causing chaos.

As is well known, comedic characters are invincible unless they want to die, and even if they die, they are like Schrödinger's cat, able to revive on the spot in the blink of an eye.

However, when Cheng Tian noticed that the cat also had a small "Audition" badge pinned to its chest, his dead heart started beating again.

This cat is most dangerous in its pure, free state, because it has no moral compass that humans should have to restrain it. It cannot be described as simply a good cat or a bad cat, which means it is capable of doing anything.

However, if it is selected as a contestant in the MUGEN entry, then it is equivalent to restricting this lawless guy in the current King of Fighters '97 MUGEN engine. It must also abide by the restrictions that players and fighters need to abide by. It cannot use skills when its energy bar is empty, and it is considered negative when its health bar is empty.

Cheng Tian had no idea why the cat was there or what it wanted to do. After all, cats can be all over you in a flash – one second they're begging you to be affectionate, and the next they might be scratching you with their claws.

"Isn't it obvious, meow? These two are clearly fighting over the invitation, meow~"

Just as Cheng Tian was still hesitating about whether to make contact with the main body, a deep male voice appeared, which also added a strange "meow" as an interjection at the end of each sentence.

The smoke arrived before the person.

A bipedal cat, almost identical in size and attire to the cat princess, but with gray and black hair and clothes, simpler facial features, and a lit cigarette butt seemingly picked up from somewhere, strolled out from around the corner.

And unsurprisingly, it also wore a name tag indicating that it had participated in the auditions on its chest.

Nero Cat, whose full name is "Nero arc Chaos", is also known as Chaos Cat or Professor Cat. It has the same origin as Nekohime and is also a member of the "Cat Kingdom" in the Tsukihime Fighting universe. Due to the source of its power, it is more chaotic than Nekohime in many ways.

Yes, since Neko-hime is here, it's only natural that Nero-neko is here too.

Cheng, who had already caught up with the main body, stopped at the street corner, hesitant about whether he should take the risk himself.

An invitation!? Are they trying to steal my cat?

Upon hearing what Nero, a fellow member and teammate, had to say, the cat princess's eyes visibly lit up.

This isn't a description; this cat really can shoot lasers with its eyes.

Its name is, True Ancestor Ray! (Same tone as Super Type Ray attack.mp3) "Wait, wait, wait~"

But just as Neko-hime was about to use her eyes, Nero-neko immediately called a halt.

At this moment, both the world and Ren Xiaoyao, whose neck had been slightly loosened, were able to move. But for some reason, a strange, unseen force compelled them to watch Nero's elegant performance.

Nero took a deep drag on his cigarette butt, and then secondhand smoke billowed from his two ears on his head, like two small, working chimneys.

"Too early, meow~ If we grab it now, it means we'll be facing endless audition harassment for the next two days. Being disturbed during rest time is such a downer, and I'm already OVERTIME~"

"It's off-time, isn't it?"

The cat princess, who had dispelled the True Ancestor's laser in her eyes, slapped Nero Cat in front of her with the back of her cat paw in a very Kansai style!
"However... that makes sense, it is indeed too early, it will delay our playtime."

Having finished her rant, the cat princess accepted Nero's suggestion, put her hands on her hips, straightened her chest, raised her eyes, and said arrogantly.

"Be grateful, humans! Lord Cat doesn't want to see blood today! Especially not in this run-down alley! So I'll be merciful and spare you this time!"

"What, are you afraid of being divided up by Seventeen as soon as you step out of the alley?"

But at that very moment, a very untimely statement barged in.

The source, of course, was Mr. Cheng, who had already stepped into the alley and whose expression had become somewhat manic.

Cheng Tian's rational mind clearly told him that he shouldn't provoke other players at this stage, especially this cat girl whose danger level was completely unknown.

But emotions also play a role at the same time.

When presented with the options of "fighting the Alien Queen" and "watching the Alien Queen kiss the Predator," Cheng Tian would choose the latter without hesitation!
Any hesitation, however slight, is disrespectful to the latter!
More past facts prove one thing: Cheng Tian is still a madman at heart.

"Heh heh heh? This young man knows quite a lot!"

Upon hearing Cheng Tian's targeted provocation, Cat Princess was slightly taken aback. Then, her large cartoon eyes narrowed, and her tail on her buttocks stood up involuntarily. This was not a simple offensive or defensive posture, but rather a physical instinctive reaction caused by her curiosity being successfully aroused.

boom!
The Stand World delivered a heavy punch to Ren Xiaoyao's neck, who had become a background character. As his health bar plummeted, a dizziness icon appeared, and the unlucky guy, who had been forced to watch the whole thing, successfully fainted.

With lightning speed, Shi Jie ripped off all of Ren Xiaoyao's clothes, pulled out the invitation that couldn't fit into his inventory, and then casually tossed it aside.

"Let's have a fight! We'll bet on this!"

"Meow!"

Seeing Cheng Tian summon the substitute back to his side and present the invitation, Cat Princess simply used her glowing eyes as a substitute for an answer.

Cat Princess's scorching True Ancestor Ray slammed into Cheng Tianxin's barrier!
