Chapter 958: Sadness Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Matcha lay on the ma.s.sage chair with his paws facing upwards, his half closed eyes drooping down and his face depressed.
“Oh…” Matcha moaned and said, “My runes!”
Milk Tea came over with a towel and put it carefully on Matcha"s head. He said with concern, “Brother Matcha, don"t be sad. You"ll get sick with grief!”
Latte sat by the side munching canned salmon and looked occasionally at Matcha as he said, “You"ve got to be happy as a cat. The runes will not come back even if you"re upset. Shall I open another can of salmon for you?”
“Get lost!” Matcha threw his towel at Latte and shouted, “You don"t know how sad and upset I am! All 15 sets of runes were lost! Do you know how many days and nights I played to obtain the 15 sets of runes?”
Matcha covered his chest and trembled violently.
“Brother Matcha!”
“Matcha, how"re you feeling?”
“Sir George, you have to brace yourself!”
Milk Tea, Latte, Old Cat, Airplane, Lightning surrounded Matcha, who was holding his chest and convulsing. They were concerned about him.
Matcha bit Milk Tea"s paw and s.h.i.+vered as he said, “You"ve got to catch the perpetrator! You have to catch him! Otherwise I won"t rest in peace.”
Milk Tea nodded and said, “Don"t worry Brother Matcha, we"ll catch him. Don"t ruin your health.”
Old Cat came forward and typed, “Don"t worry Sir George, we"ll capture this guy who deserves a thousand lashes.”
“Old Cat!” Matcha looked sadly at him and said, “I feel terrible inside.”
“I understand,” Old Cat said. “We all understand. Take care of yourself. It"s not worth it to ruin your health.”
“Catch him! You have to catch him!” Matcha wailed and he convulsed violently as his head tilted to one side. “Oh!” His tongue stuck out and he became motionless.
“Matcha!” Milk Tea exclaimed in shock and pounced on Matcha.
Latte opened his mouth and the salmon inside fell to the ground.
Airplane was astonished as he said, “Matcha"s agitated to death?”
Old Cat hurried over and examined his nose and chest. He sighed and typed, “He"s not dead. He probably fell asleep after staying up all night.”
Milk Tea was relieved and licked his chest fur as he said, “Matcha"s condition is going to worsen as he can"t eat or drink. This is worrisome.”
Old Cat said, “The only solution is to catch the perpetrator to sooth Matcha.”
Milk Tea shook his head and said, “How long will it take? I have an idea. Why don"t we use our money to buy a few sets of runes?”
“This is frustrating!” Airplane sighed deeply and said sadly, “I"m useless. I"m a spendthrift and can"t contribute money at critical moments! I"m really useless!” He slapped himself using his tail.
Lightning saw Milk Tea looking at him and turned his head away as he shook his head and sighed. “Milk Tea, you should have told me earlier that you need money!
It"s frustrating. I lent my money to Cannon this morning. I"m a good brother so when he asked me for money and I lent it to him without saying a word!
When can I change this shortcoming of mine? Let me look for Cannon and ask him for my money…”
Milk Tea said, “It"s alright. I"ve worked in Cat Wonderland these days and saved some money. I"m thinking of using my money to help Matcha but you must help me hide it from him. Just tell him that we came up with the money together to buy his runes.”
All the supercats looked at each other and agreed.
Latte frowned and squatted down as he looked at Matcha"s quivering tail and pounced on it. He gave it a good bite.
Lightning said, “Milk Tea, the runes looked expensive. Do you have enough money?”
Milk Tea said, “Besides my salary, Master Zhao also gave me some red packets. I think it should be enough…”
All the supercats were stunned by the figures on Milk Tea"s cell phone.
“Are those figures from the red packets?”
Old Cat said, “You won"t need that much, Milk Tea…”
Milk Tea smiled and said, “It"s nothing. I seldom use the money. If I can make Brother Matcha happy and healthy, I"ll be happy.”
Latte bit and pulled Matcha"s tail. It was so painful that Matcha shook his body and said telepathically to Latte, “Latte, stop it!”
Latte was astonished. “Matcha, aren"t you asleep?”
Matcha said angrily, “Idiot! Don"t bother me. Get lost and don"t bite my tail.”
Latte rolled his eyeb.a.l.l.s and said, “Oh! You are pretending! I"ll tell the rest!”
Matcha said anxiously, “Don"t speak nonsense!”
Latte said, “I heard there"s a new canned salmon…”
Matcha said helplessly, “I"ll buy it.”
Milk Tea looked at Old Cat and the supercats and nodded. “Let"s make a move first. When Matcha"s awake, tell him about it… Airplane, please help to investigate who deleted Matcha"s runes.”
“Don"t worry Milk Tea, Matcha"s my big brother. I"ll find out the truth.”
As the supercats left, Milk Tea turned to look at Latte and said, “Latte, let"s go…”
Latte looked at Milk Tea and shook his head. “No, I"ll stay here to watch over Matcha.”
Milk Tea looked surprised at Latte and smiled. “Latte"s grown up. Keep him company. I"ll come back later.”
After Milk Tea left, Latte looked at Matcha and said, “They"re all gone. You can wake up now!”
Matcha sat up and laughed loudly. “I"ll get back my runes. Fat hope if you think you can delete my runes!!”
Latte said, “What about my salmon?”
Matcha said, “I know, I"ll get it for you.”
They looked at each other, laughed heartily and jumped around excitedly.
Matcha said, “Yeah! I"ll have my runes again!”
Latte said, “Yeah! I"ll have my salmon again!”
Both cats jumped happily as they smiled in antic.i.p.ation of their future rewards.
Bam! They saw Milk Tea open the door. He was holding a can of salmon in his mouth and looking grimly at both of them, who were frozen in s.p.a.ce.
