Chapter 550: People Unconsciously Appropriate Others' Belongings.
"Kagura-chan, I didn't spoil you for nothing~" Kawaki looked at Kagura with gentle eyes and praised softly, "You found such a useful guy at a time like this."
"Hehe..." Kagura rubbed her nose, squinted her eyes, and grinned.
"Wait, I haven't agreed yet." Tsukuyo walked over, one hand on her chest, the other lightly pinching a cigarette, and glanced at Iwamatsu before her, "Can such a man be a replacement? He seems too fragile to endure any blows."
"Miss, don't underestimate..." Iwamatsu's face showed a straightforward smile, and then he shook his head gently, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kawaki beside him.
"What are you saying? Tsukuyo?" Kawaki spread out his hands, sighed, and said, "However you look at it, he's a good replacement. Anyway, let's use this guy to vent our frustrations today! Don't worry about money! Leave it all to me!"
Listening to Kawaki's words, Tsukuyo began to ponder, chin in hand.
At this moment, Kawaki familiarly put his arm around Iwamatsu's shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "By the way, can your job be contracted monthly? Or yearly? If possible, you should stay in Yoshihara in the future..."
"Major... major client!!" Iwamatsu's heart leaped with joy, and then he looked at Kagura with a grateful expression, "Even though today we encountered the silver-haired natural curls and sunglasses uncle who fell into the dark abyss, strange terrorists, and annoying police officers, but... finally, finally received a normal job! That's great!!"
"You said you had no money left when you asked for pocket money yesterday, Aru?" With narrowed eyes, Kagura looked at Kawaki disdainfully, "Were you lying to me, Aru?"
"I don't have any money left for this month, but now I have a high-value substitute..." Kawaki nodded and replied, then picked up a red and white game console that had just been broken by Tsukuyo and himself, along with an FC cartridge labeled "Contra" from the side, "How about this?!"
"Is it just a broken red and white game console and an FC cartridge?!" Iwamatsu exclaimed, "Finally, is it time for the more classic 'Contra' after 'Swallowing the Sky and Earth' and 'Sun Wukong's Great Adventure'?! What's next? It should be 'Super Mario'! And the game console and cartridge have 'Xiao Meng' written on them! Is it yours again?! Xiao Meng!!"
"Aha, I suddenly wanted to play some older shooting games." Kawaki scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Who cares?!"
Kawaki cleared his throat twice, then put on a severe expression, "Ignorant modern people! Do you think these things have no value? No! Although the era of red-and-white machines and FC has passed, some people like me suddenly feel nostalgic! So the red and white machine and FC are timeless..."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear such cryptic lines!" Iwamatsu retorted, then pointed to the broken red and white machine in Kawaki's hand, "That red and white machine is already broken, right? It's completely smashed! What are you thinking about borrowing things from others and then breaking them? Are you not even a little guilty?!"
(PS: In the Japanese version of Contra, after completing the first level, holding down the select and start buttons during the scroll at the end (when the helicopter flies off the island), you can see a hidden telegram: "Foolish earthlings, do you think this means the 'Red Falcon' is completely exterminated? Although our Earth frontline base is gone, the compensation work was completed long ago. We, 'Red Falcon,' are eternal...")
"Just don't mind these little things~" Kawaki shrugged indifferently, then stuffed the broken red and white machine and cartridge into Iwamatsu's arms and gave a thumbs-up while winking, "Nice to meet you! By the way, the cheat code for Thirty Lives is..."
"I know! Everyone knows that kind of cheat!" Iwamatsu retorted, "And that kind of thing is unimportant! I never said I wanted it! Besides, this belongs to Xiao Meng, right?! How can you just give away borrowed things to others?! Apologize to me... no, to Xiao Meng! You! "
"Tsukuyo, it's okay now." Ignoring Iwamatsu's complaints completely, Kawaki turned to Tsukuyo, who was still pondering beside him and made an OK gesture.
