Chapter 159: Eating Tom Alive
In Tom's hand, the originally one-meter-long lasso seemed to defy physics and gradually extended as it flew, appearing to grow out of thin air. If the pioneers of physics saw this scene, they would probably be driven to their graves by frustration.
As the lasso approached her, Mashu still hadn't managed to remove the wig from her shield. Her expression was becoming increasingly desperate, knowing that being captured by the evil force was more despairing than anything she could imagine.
At this moment, Mashu's mind started to wander, contemplating how the wicked Schrdinger might mistreat and humiliate her. Just thinking about the possibilities filled her with terror rather than anticipation.
Lost in her thoughts, Mashu's attempts to remove the wig weakened. It was as if the will to survive had left her entirely.
However, reality often defies expectations.
To Mashu's surprise, the lasso she dreaded missed her entirely and landed perfectly on her shield.
"Huh?" Mashu tilted her head, perplexed. Her expression resembled several black question marks floating above her.
The lasso should have hit her, not her shield, right? That's how it was supposed to work, right?
Thinking she should alert Tom to his mistake, Mashu turned around, but the look on Tom's face left her uncertain. It seemed like he didn't make a mistake at all.
Seeing his lasso successfully hitting the shield with the wig, Tom's face lit up with delight. His grin widened, almost reaching his ears. His target was this shield-wielding 'Gudako'!
Overjoyed, Tom burst into maniacal laughter, thrilled to have accomplished his master's task once again. It was evident that today's meal was secured; he wouldn't let it escape!
"Ho He Hahaha!" After the laughter subsided, Tom, standing on Spike's head, continued with an evil grin, using a sinister tone, "I AM STRONG!"
Having spoken those words, Tom began to exert all his strength to pull Mashu's massive cross-shaped shield that she held in her hand.
"Wait... wait a minute! Please wait!" For some reason, seeing Tom's actions, Mashu suddenly became anxious and held onto the shield more firmly. "Did you make a mistake? Shouldn't you try again?"
As Tom's overwhelming strength kept pulling, Mashu found herself in a short-lived stalemate. She knew that defeat in this tug of war was only a matter of time.
Hearing Mashu's strange plea, Tom merely frowned. It was evident that this plump woman was trying to distract it. Tom remained unfazed and continued to exert force to snatch the shield.
According to Tom's master, Gudako was the one with orange hair, and since the shield had orange hair attached to it, it must be Gudako!
"Trust me, you've got it wrong!" As she felt the shield slipping from her grip, Mashu grew more anxious, raising her voice to plead with Tom.
But Tom paid no heed. Instead, Gudako, who had chosen to let Mashu willingly delay the enemy, felt a pang of guilt. "Damn, I'm such a heartless girl. I can't stop Mashu from being captured even when she's doing it voluntarily."
Listening to Mashu's heartfelt cries, Gudako bit her lip, determined to at least have one last look at her beloved Mashu. She resolved to hold onto this memory forever.
As Gudako turned her head to bid farewell to Mashu, something unexpected happened. The shield slipped from Mashu's hand!
"Goodbye, Mashu... Huh?!" Gudako, still sporting her bald head and trying to be sentimental, suddenly changed her expression in that moment.
Why? Because her wig was still on that shield!
The plan was to get Mashu captured, not just the shield. If it was only the shield being taken away, she wouldn't be able to summon it back with Command Seals. In other words, she would lose the wig forever. How could she ever accept such an outcome?
"Yamete kure! Spare it!" Realizing her plan had failed, Gudako hit the brakes, turned around, and dashed towards Tom at lightning speed.
In one swift move, Gudako snatched her little black dress back from Cu Chulainn's butt, inserted a Saint Quartz, and folded the dress to create an improvised meteor hammer.
With a battle cry, Gudako swung the meteor hammer towards Tom.
"That... that's my possession!" As she charged fearlessly, Gudako declared her sovereignty over the wig with a loud voice.
At this moment, Gudako displayed great courage, but perhaps she was just a tiny bit too brave. As Gudako fearlessly charged forward, Tom had already leaped to the ground with confidence, attempting to catch the enormous shield that was flying towards it after slipping from Mashu's hand.
As the shield approached Tom's head, it still had an air of self-assuredness, as if catching a shield several times its size was an easy task. Then, the moment of impact arrived.
"Snap!" A sound like squishing clay filled the air as the shield landed smoothly on the ground, making an extremely slick landing. At the same time, a cat named Tom vanished from everyone's sight.
Spike, who had just been relieved from being ridden by Tom, witnessed the cat disappearing under the shield. He rubbed his eyes in confusion, unable to comprehend how Tom had vanished. Spike's small eyes were filled with great bewilderment.
"Ding-ding-ding." Blinking several times, Spike reached out and tentatively tapped the surface of the shield, uncertain of what had just happened.
"Little kitty? Did you get eaten by 'Gudako'?"
