Chapter 187 This is a small step for Karin
"Don't chase me! I don't taste good! Go eat those hyacinths over there!"
"Hello!!!"
The white mouse iris and the field mouse hyacinth ran side by side on the living room floor, racing each other.
Behind them was the relentless pursuit of the hunter Hellcat, who had no intention of killing them with a single blow, but was simply enjoying watching the magical mice flee for their lives.
It would also occasionally reach out its paw to scratch the two who were running out of energy, forcing them to speed up.
"Ouch! Don't tickle my butt! It hurts so much!"
"Let's split up and run towards the sofa!"
"Okay! I'll go left, you go right!"
The two of them dove under the sofa and immediately changed directions to escape.
But as soon as the field mouse hyacinth crawled out of the sofa, the cat paw in front of her and the catgirl hanging upside down on the edge of the sofa terrified her.
"Why do you keep grabbing me?!"
The hellcat continued its chase with the field mouse hyacinth in the living room.
Having narrowly escaped death, the little white mouse Iris panicked and darted into the half-closed kitchen door, then quickly disappeared into a dark corner of the cupboard, panting heavily.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
The girl took a few deep breaths, barely managing to calm her agitated emotions.
very tired.
Normally, I would have collapsed on the living room floor from exhaustion, but in Magic Mouse mode, my physical abilities seemed to have transformed into those of an orc, and I quickly regained my strength.
Just now, I and my companions reached a clear division of labor: I and Hyacinth the Field Mouse will go out to lure away the Cat Hunter, while Wheat Ear Nightingale and I will go to find the next clue.
But unexpectedly, I ended up in the kitchen. Now I can figure out how to find the first item I need to collect:
"It seems our little guinea pig, Iris, is quite clever."
Suddenly, the sound coming from the bedroom television caught Hua Ling's attention.
It was only then that Hualing realized that a small, winged magic camera had been following her all along, allowing her to pass through even narrow places like the cupboard at will.
"Not only did she use her companion hyacinth to distract the hunter cat, but she also slipped into the kitchen amidst the chaos. What will her next target be?"
"..."
Hua Ling pursed her lips, not daring to speak.
But for now, my primary goal must be the kitchen sink. As long as I collect the corks from the sink, I can complete the task at this stage.
but……
Peeking through the gap in the cupboard at the kitchen layout, Hua Ling suddenly felt that this task was far too difficult.
The stove extended outwards, with almost no place to climb. Even in his magical mouse form, it would be difficult to climb such a high stove without any support.
Moreover, the sink is in the corner of the kitchen, and I would have to walk through the entire kitchen to get to it, where I might be caught on the spot by a roaming hunter cat.
It seems the only way is to sneak through the cupboard; I wonder if there's anything we can use to get through here—
Before the words had even finished, as the girl groped her way forward inside the cupboard, a firework rocket floating in mid-air not far away caught her attention.
"Congratulations! Little Mouse Iris has obtained the ultra-rare item [Spring Festival Fireworks Rocket]!"
A cheering sound effect came from the living room TV, accompanied by Xin Yuehu's passionate commentary.
The girl looked at the firework toy in her hand, which was designed to resemble a rocket carrying a mouse, and couldn't understand it for a moment.
...
"Fireworks and rockets?"
Before long, thanks to the continued activity and luring of the field mouse hyacinth, the hamster nightingale and the squirrel wheat ear, after each getting slapped twice by the cat's claws, also successfully slipped into the kitchen.
Three magical mice huddled deep inside the cupboard, carefully reading the instruction manual for the firework rocket by the light filtering through the cracks.
"Let me see... [Fox-1, the rocket carrying mice], what a strange name...?" Squirrel Wheat tilted its head in confusion.
"It seems to be the key to launching one of us over to the water tank to retrieve the cork," Hamster Nightingale said thoughtfully.
The rocket has a small, cramped compartment at the top that is just big enough for the smallest white mouse, Iris, to squeeze in.
"I see!"
The squirrel and the wheat stalk suddenly realized.
"We need to get Iris into the top compartment of this rocket while avoiding the Hunter Hellcat, then launch her over the water tank to retrieve the cork!"
"...Is this plan really reliable?" Iris blinked, expressing her unease.
"We don't have any other options, so let's give it a try!" Hamster Nightingale agreed with Wheat Ear's plan.
"Then let's call this plan—Operation Mouse Flying!"
"That's so corny, we should just call it Project Apollo the Mouse."
"Did you two even consider my feelings?!" Iris Flower, the space mouse, exclaimed, her face slightly flushed.
.
The plan was finalized and named "Operation Fireworks".
After the three of them used a prop they found by chance, the "mouse walkie-talkie," to communicate with the field mouse hyacinth in the living room, she was tasked with distracting the hunter hellcat and buying time for the rocket launch in the kitchen.
Three magic mice peeked out from the kitchen door and glanced at the hellcat leisurely strolling in the living room.
And the cowardly field mouse hyacinth hiding under the sofa.
"Shh... Fireworks One, I see you over here. We're ready to move in. Over."
"...Are you serious?"
Hyacinth answered the walkie-talkie expressionlessly.
But seeing the determined expressions on the faces of the three mice in the kitchen, Hyacinth gritted her teeth, ate the half-eaten cookie she had snatched from the coffee table to replenish her energy, and stood up to walk out of the sofa.
Then he started yelling and mocking at the cats not far away.
Hearing the sounds of cat paws slapping and Hyacinth's screams coming from the living room, all three were moved.
"We can't let Hyacinth's sacrifice be in vain! We must begin the fireworks operation immediately!"
"Wheat Ear said in a low voice."
Iris sat timidly on the seat in the mouse pod, looking somewhat nervous.
As the fireworks rocket slowly rose and aimed at its target, Iris Flower's tension reached its peak.
"Confirm the mission objectives one last time!"
"Take off, disengage, enter the tank, and retrieve the cork!"
"Ignite it now!"
The hamster nightingale took out a match from who-knows-where, struck the match head, and brought the tiny flame close to the fuse.
The hissing sound of the fuse burning rang out, but the kitchen door was suddenly flung open, and a Hellcat, clutching a field mouse hyacinth in its paws, stepped into the house!
"Oh no! Stop her!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Squirrel Wheat and Hamster Nightingale pounced on the catgirl.
The rocket fuse was burning rapidly. The catgirl tried to get closer, but was stopped by two magical mice that suddenly jumped up.
time flies.
The two magical mice were quickly defeated by the cat girl's paws, but they also bought the rocket launch a precious amount of time.
"Fly up to the sky, iris!!!"
The last piece of fuse burned out completely.
Iris felt a tremendous, powerful thrust from behind as she soared into the sky with the fireworks rocket!
"Rat compartment...detached!"
Sensing that the thrust was starting to decrease, Iris pulled the release rope beside her, and the mouse compartment separated from the rocket, sending the little white mouse carrying all the hopes of the magical mice onto the stove sink!
"Boom! Crack! Crack!"
Fireworks exploded.
The kitchen ceiling was illuminated by the bright sparks of fireworks, revealing a pristine white figure, soaking wet but holding a cork aloft.
"What a fantastic performance! Let's celebrate the magic mice's successful completion of the first challenge amidst the fireworks!"
Hua Ling climbed out of the sink, holding the cork high in her hand, her eyes more determined than ever before.
Magic Mouse, mission complete!
