Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

"squeak--"

Big Black barked and swayed from side to side, its paws adorned with miniature boxing gloves specially made by Shingu Miko, occasionally throwing punches forward.

The speed is frightening!

Especially his stomach, which had just been full of rice balls, had evolved into a huge pouch, transforming him from a knight into a heavily armored knight.

In Da Mei's eyes, the difference between Da Hei and Dayun is that Da Hei can throw a punch.

Da Mei: "..."

"squeak!!!"

A sharp scream rang out.

Da Mei immediately wilted.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was wilted; the entire fancy mouse had instantly transformed from a little warrior draped in a boxing champion's cape into a limp ball of fur.

Just moments ago, Da Mei was striking a professional boxing champion pose at the edge of the ring, but the next second she turned and ran, her four little paws frantically scratching at the soft mat, her speed as if she had suddenly grasped the true meaning of life.

That is to run away.

Miko Kamiya: "???"

Short-haired woman: "..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Big Black: "Squeak?"

Dahei stood at the entrance of the ring, his swaying motions pausing for a moment. He seemed surprised that his opponent had already begun to retreat before the match even started.

Shingu Miko was completely dumbfounded.

"Da Mei, what are you doing!"

Jingu Yoshiko lunged forward, carefully blocking Daimi's escape route with both hands, her face filled with disbelief.

"The race hasn't even started yet, how can you run!"

Da Mei was stopped and immediately darted to the other side.

The short-haired woman reacted quickly, gently blocking the way and pulling Da Mei back from the edge of the ring.

Da Mei clung to the short-haired woman's fingers, her small body trembling, her head desperately burrowing into the sleeve, showing no trace of the flamboyant boxing champion.

Jingu Yoshiko was heartbroken.

"Daimei, you're the Jingu family's boxing champion!"

Da Mei: "Squeak squeak squeak!"

"No deserters allowed!"

Da Mei: "Squeak!!!"

"Don't call yourself a fancy mouse! So what if you're a fancy mouse? A fancy mouse can dream of becoming a boxing champion!"

Da Mei: "..."

Da Mei doesn't want to dream of becoming a boxing champion.

Da Mei just wants to go back to the massage chair.

The short-haired woman stood to the side, glanced down at Da Mei in her arms, then at Da Hei on the arena, remained silent for a moment, and calmly said, "Patriarch, Da Mei's fighting spirit seems to be lacking at the moment."

Jingu no Miko turned around: "What do you mean by lacking fighting spirit?"

The short-haired woman carefully considered her words: "To put it simply, it seems Da Mei doesn't want to fight."

Miko Jingu: "..."

Does this need to be said?

The beauty is practically disappearing into the short-haired woman's sleeve!

Yoshiko Kamiya took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

No.

Don't panic at this time.

As Da Mei's trainer, agent, coach, nutritionist, massage chair investor, and the current head of the Jingu family, she must remain calm.

"So beautiful."

Jingu Yoshiko squatted down, cupped the beautiful woman in her hands, and spoke with unprecedented seriousness.

"Look at me."

Da Mei really didn't want to watch it.

But since Daimi was being promoted, she was forced to look directly at Jingu Miko.

Jingu Yoshiko's eyes were firm: "You know, a true strong person is not someone who is fearless, but someone who will step onto the stage even if they are afraid."

Da Mei: "Squeak..."

"You think Big Black is scary now, right?"

Da Mei remained silent.

His eyes were clear.

nonsense.

That's not scary.

That's a dynamic, dynamic event.

Jingu Yoshiko continued, "But think about it, after you beat Big Black, you'll be the real Great Beauty Boxing Champion, and the entire Jingu family will cheer for you. We'll upgrade your Great Beauty massage chair, increase the quantity of your Great Beauty-themed nutritional meals, and give you an extra Great Beauty dessert every day!"

Da Mei's beard twitched.

Small desserts.

One more dollar every day.

The short-haired woman's expression shifted slightly when she saw Da Mei's reaction.

This is not encouragement from the head of the household.

This is just empty promises.

Kuroba Shido squatted down beside him, eating melon seeds with Daikoku.

Both the man and the mouse remained calm.

Shido Kuroba took half a rice ball out of his bag, took a bite himself, and then broke off a small piece and handed it to Daikoku.

"Big Black, did you see that?"

Kuroba Shido lowered his voice.

"Capitalism mobilizes its employees before a battle by first making empty promises, then providing them with extra food, and finally getting them to fight for an unseen future."

Big Black chews and chews.

Kuroba Shido continued, "We can't learn from you, but you're different. We eat rice balls before we go, we don't do anything fake."

Big Black: "Squeak."

When Miko heard this, she turned around and glared at him.

"Shido, don't interfere with our team!"

Shido Kuroba looked completely innocent: "Madam, I was just having a pre-match discussion with Daikoku about poor families."

"That's called being sarcastic and unfriendly."

"Madam, you can't accuse me of being sarcastic just because you understood what I said."

Miko Jingu: "..."

hateful.

It seems I got scolded again.

The short-haired woman silently placed Da Mei back on the small cushion.

Da Mei tried to run away, but Jingu Miko had already brought over the specially made nutritional meal.

It was a small, strangely colored, pasty substance.

not much.

Just a tiny bit, like the tip of a finger.

But the smell is peculiar.

It has the sweet aroma of fruit, the oily scent of nuts, and a hint of herbal notes that are hard to describe.

When Kuroba Shido saw that thing, his body instinctively shrank back a little.

"Madam, what is this?"

Shinmiya Yoshiko proudly declared: "DaMei's special pre-match burst nutrition package."

The black-feathered warrior said, "Speak human language."

Yoshiko Jingu: "I feel more energetic after eating it."

The short-haired woman added, "The head of the household asked the kitchen to adjust the recipe, adding high-calorie ingredients and a small amount of stimulant."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Kuroba Shido looked at the mess, then at Daimei, his eyes gradually turning to terror.

"Madam, isn't this pre-race supplement? It sounds like performance-enhancing drugs!"

Yoshiko Jingu immediately retorted, "Nonsense, this is a nutritional meal!"

It contains energizing ingredients.

"So what if it's energizing? Coffee is energizing too!"

"Does the fancy mouse drink coffee?"

"We didn't have anything to drink, we had something to eat!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

The Jingu family is terrifying.

The Fancy Mouse Boxing Championship has transformed from a regular sport into a high-tech spectacle. Forget the competition, let's just see who has the sharpest head...

Ignoring all that, Miko held a small portion of the nutritional meal to Da Mei's lips.

"Da Mei, come on, have some. You'll have courage after you eat."

Da Mei hesitated.

Da Mei looked at Da Hei.

Big Black was still swaying back and forth at the edge of the ring. He waved his boxing gloves lightly twice, and his huge stomach remained steady, looking like a small wall that could move.

Da Mei: "..."

Da Mei opened her mouth and ate.

A few seconds later, the effect appeared.

Da Mei's originally clear eyes gradually became excited.

His beard began to tremble.

The little paws moved a couple of times.

The fear of "I have to run for my life" that I had just felt began to subside, and was replaced by a false courage that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Shingu Miko's eyes lit up.

"See? It works!"

Short-haired woman: "..."

Seeing Da Mei's obviously excited reaction, the short-haired woman began to seriously consider whether she should confiscate the nutritional package from the head of the household.

Kuroba Shido gasped.

"Madam, you actually gave Da Mei drugs."

Yoshiko Jingu: "I already said it's a nutritious meal!"

"I understand, I understand, a nutritional meal plan."

Kuroba Shido nodded, his expression showing complete understanding.

"In our rat community, we usually call this kind of thing cyber courage."

Miko Kamiya: "?"

"After eating, I felt okay."

"It's fine as it is!"

Yoshiko Jingu is very confident.

Da Mei was also helped to get back on her feet by a combination of nutritional packages and empty promises.

Yoshiko Kamiya immediately began to applaud.

"Well done, Da Mei!"

"Daimei, you have disgraced the Jingu family!"

"Look, you've gotten back on your feet, which proves you were born to be a boxing champion!"

Da Mei: "Squeak!"

In her heightened state, Da Mei let out an even louder cry than before.

Shingu Miko's eyes lit up with emotion.

A short-haired woman holds her forehead.

Kuroba Shido looked at Daimi, then at Daikoku.

In a short while, Dahei finished the rest of the rice balls.

After eating, Dahei's large stomach became even more noticeable.

Originally just a little bigger than a normal rat, it now looks like it ate a pre-match carbohydrate energy pack. The rat, with its boxing gloves, inexplicably exudes a heavy, oppressive aura.

The courage that Da Mei had just mustered with the nutritional meal plan vanished little by little the moment she saw Da Hei.

Da Mei: "..."

When Shingu Miko noticed the change in Daimi's eyes, she immediately cupped Daimi's small face in her hands.

"Da Mei, don't look at my belly!"

Da Mei: "Squeak?"

"Look into your opponent's eyes, don't be fooled by their large appetite!"

Kuroyuki said, "Madam, it sounds like you also admit that Kuro's big stomach is very intimidating."

Yoshiko Jingu: "Shut up, Shido!"

Kuroba Shido lowered his head and took a bite of rice ball.

"Okay."

Big Black was chewing away beside him.

The human and the mouse were perfectly synchronized.

Jingu Yoshiko was so angry she wanted to pounce on him, but the game was more important right now.

"Da Mei, listen to me."

Yoshiko lowered her voice and began the final pre-battle pep talk.

"Big Black looks strong, but it's just eaten too much rice ball, so it's definitely not very agile. You're faster than it, you have training, you have equipment, you have a massage chair to recover, and you still have me!"

Da Mei blinked.

Yoshiko Jingu continued, "You have to believe in yourself. If you win this match, you'll be the true champion of the Jingu family. Then I'll make you a second cape with 'The Great Beauty Who Defeats the Great Black' written on it!"

Da Mei: "Squeak?"

Da Mei doesn't understand the words very well.

But I understood that "there is a reward for winning".

Moreover, the energizing effect of the nutritional meal remains.

Da Mei has stood up again.

Although a trace of fear still lingered in his eyes, at least he didn't run away again.

Shingu Miko immediately became excited.

"Well done!"

"That's it!"

"Da Mei, you didn't embarrass yourself!"

Kuroba Shido muttered to himself, "The way Madam encourages her is just like a boss giving a meeting to his employees, saying 'You'll definitely get a raise next month' after you've talked about your dreams."

Short-haired woman: "..."

The short-haired woman felt that this description was a bit too much.

But it's also somewhat accurate.

The competition is finally back on track.

A small arena was placed in the center of the room.

Soft padding was laid out around the perimeter, the string was tightened, and a mini timer was placed to the side.

The short-haired woman was in charge of checking safety, Jingu Miko was in charge of the excitement, Kuroba Shido was in charge of watching the show, and Daikoku was in charge of finishing the last bit of rice.

Da Mei and Da Hei stood on either side of the ring.

Both mice were wearing specially made miniature boxing gloves.

He was also wearing a small protective helmet on his head.

The cape behind Da Mei has been removed. Jingu Yoshiko said that the cape could affect performance during the competition. In fact, it was the short-haired woman who reminded Da Mei that the cape might trip her up.

Big Black's side is much simpler.

The boxing gloves were provided by Yoshiko Jingu.

The helmet was also provided by Yoshiko Jingu.

There was nothing else.

Kuroba Shido squatted by the arena and earnestly instructed, "Kuro, don't be fooled by the opponent's luxurious equipment. True strongmen don't need too many external things. Of course, if you can get external things for free, then don't be shy."

Big Black: "Squeak."

Not to be outdone, Miko Kamiya squatted on the other side and shouted at Daimi.

"DaMei, listen to my instructions. First, probe its defenses, then apply pressure. Seize the opportunity to strike its big stomach and show DaHei what the Jingu family's fist is all about!"

Da Mei: "Squeak!"

Excited.

Extremely excited.

There was just a little fear mixed in with the excitement.

The short-haired woman stood in the middle, remained silent for a moment, and looked at Jingu Miko.

"Master, would you like me to act as referee?"

Jingu no Miko waved her hand: "No need, I'll do it myself!"

After saying that, Shingu Miko pulled out a miniature gong from somewhere.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

No.

Madam, aren't you having too many things?

Shingu Miko stood solemnly by the ring and picked up the small gong.

"The First Jingu Family's Spice Rat Boxing Championship, Round One, Begin!"

Ding--

A crisp gong sounded.

Game start.

On the stage, Big Black made the first move.

It's not 沖.

It's moving.

Big Black swayed from side to side, his steps light and quick, his boxing gloves raised in front of him, his small body circling along the edge of the ring.

The movements were not standard.

But the flavor is very strong.

Especially since Dahei just watched Ali's butterfly step video, whether he can imitate it well or not is another matter, but at least in terms of his aura, he already considers himself the king of the rat world's boxing.

Kuroba Shido's eyes lit up.

"Big Black, that's it!"

"Move, move!"

"Make yourself untouchable!"

Da Mei stood on the other side, initially a little stiff.

But as the nutritional supplements gradually took effect, Da Mei's fear subsided somewhat, and a hint of impulsiveness appeared in her eyes.

Yoshiko Kamiya pumped her fist in encouragement.

"Da Mei, don't be afraid!"

"Find an opportunity!"

"It just looks like it has a big belly, don't be scared by its size!"

The short-haired woman stood to the side, her gaze shifting between the two rats, her expression gradually turning serious.

Although the match was absurd from beginning to end, the short-haired woman was actually a little drawn in when it actually started.

Big Black's movements were indeed agile.

Da Mei's condition did indeed become more energetic due to the nutritional meal plan.

Two mice circled each other on the ring, occasionally throwing out tiny fists to test each other, their boxing gloves lightly brushing against the air.

The scene was outrageous.

But it's also inexplicably professional.

Big Black first made a feint.

Da Mei was so frightened that she shrank back.

Yoshiko immediately shouted, "Don't back down, Omi, go for it!"

Hearing Jingu Miko's voice, and with her fear forcibly suppressed by the nutritional meal plan, Da Mei finally mustered the courage to rush forward.

Its small body suddenly lunged forward.

The right claw throws a punch.

Snapped.

The punch landed on Big Black's stomach.

It's not the face.

It's not a helmet.

It's a huge stomach that has evolved into heavy armor knight's armor after just eating a rice ball.

The air was quiet.

Big Black stood still, motionless.

Da Mei's boxing gloves were stuck to Da Hei's belly.

They were not repelled.

There was no shaking.

Even the smell of rice balls around Big Black's mouth wasn't dispelled.

Da Mei: "..."

Big Black: "Squeak?"

Miko Kamiya: "???"

Short-haired woman: "..."

Kuroba Shido also fell silent for a moment.

The next second, the Black Feather Taoist priest breathed a long sigh of relief.

"fine."

Jingu no Yoshiko suddenly looked at him: "What do you mean 'alright'?!"

Kuroba Shido's expression was serious: "It seems that Daikoku only has a slight advantage."

Short-haired woman: "..."

Slightly better?

Is this a slight victory?

Da Mei threw a punch, but Da Hei's belly barely shook.

Kuroba Shido, however, was very cautious.

It cannot float.

Absolutely must not drift.

In high-level games, it's a big no-no to open champagne halfway through.

Although it seems that Daikoku has a big advantage now, it's not entirely impossible that Daikoku also has the hidden techniques of the Jingu family, such as the Flowery Mouse Burst Form, the Boxing King Muscle Building Phase Two, or the Head of the Family's Spirit Inspiration Ultimate Move.

Therefore, we can only say that it is slightly better.

Be more cautious.

To be a good person, especially a rat trainer, you must be steady.

Yoshiko Jingu was still in shock.

"Are you... are you kidding me?!"

"Da Mei's punches didn't work?"

Shingu Miko stared at the ring, her face filled with disbelief.

"DaMei is a muscle-building rat who's eaten muscle-building meals, sat in massage chairs, and watched boxing champion videos!"

Kuroba Shido nodded: "Daikoku ate two rice balls."

Yoshiko Jingu: "Can these two things be the same?!"

"In the narrative of poverty, rice balls are the best pre-match supplement."

Kuroba Shido said seriously.

"Especially the discounted rice balls, they have the flavor of the struggles of the working class."

Miko Jingu: "..."

Short-haired woman: "..."

What is all this stuff?

On the stage, after Da Mei threw a punch, the entire rat froze.

Da Mei looked at her boxing gloves, then at Da Hei's huge stomach, and then at Da Hei's calm little mouse face.

The courage I had just built up with the nutritional meal plan is starting to crumble little by little again.

Da Mei wants to withdraw.

But it was too late.

Big Black glanced down at the boxing gloves on his stomach.

Then, Big Black raised its paw.

very slow.

But in Da Mei's eyes, it looked like a mountain had been lifted up.

Kuroba Shido immediately shouted, "Kuro, control your strength!"

Miko Kamiya: "?"

"What do you mean by that!"

Kuroba Shido said cautiously, "Friendship first, competition second."

Yoshiko Jingu: "That's not what you just said!"

"The match hadn't even started yet, and now Big Black is about to fight back, so of course I have to emphasize sportsmanship."

Miko Jingu: "..."

mean.

That's despicable.

Big Black clenched his fist.

Not particularly fast.

There were no particularly exaggerated movements.

It was just a very simple straight punch.

But Dahei had just eaten his fill of rice balls, so his body was stable and his base was heavy. In addition, his combat experience from the rat area and the boxing videos that Kuroba Shido had just taught him made his movements inexplicably serious.

boom.

The punch landed on Da Mei's helmet.

The small helmet flew off instantly.

It drew a short arc in the air.

pat.

They landed outside the ring.

Da Mei stood there, her hair slightly ruffled, her eyes so clear it was as if the world had just been reformatted.

The room was deathly quiet.

Miko Kamiya: "???"

Short-haired woman: "..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Big Black: "Squeak?"

Da Mei swayed slowly.

Then, with a snap.

He collapsed...and went to enjoy his blessings.

Jingu Yoshiko's expression gradually cracked.

The next second, a sharp, explosive sound echoed through the room once again.

"Ahhhhh—"

"So beautiful!!!"
