Chapter 42

Ruben Was a calm and Kind Individual in real life but when it came To gaming...he's what the gaming community calls a "Toxic Player".

Hell With the things He's heard Ruben say, he makes League Player's Look like saints.

Ekko Immediately teleported Back to the Mall and hurried Rangiku so they could start Heading back home.

Ten minutes after Ekko had left, two people with Masks appeared on the roof he was just on. They looked around before spotting the unconscious Gangster and Picked him up before taking him away.

To where, well that's a story to explore for another day.

///////////////////////////////////

After Ekko Left the Shop with Rangiku he quickly made his way toward Eris's location. Turned out she was having her face painted by some kids who were painting Adults' and other people's faces for 500 yen.

Ironically Eris was having a cat Painted on her face. Ekko found it cute but he also wanted to get home as fast as possible, so after Eris Got her Face painting done the three of them left.

Though Ekko found that Eris and Rangiku Looked happier and more cheerful than normal. Rangiku was in her own little world while Eris kept Secretly taking glances at Ekkos Lips and thinking about something.

///////////////////////////////

" Fuuuaaaaaaaa, were finally home, Ekko is it alright if I use the hot springs, I could really go for a long warm dip right now." Rangiku asked.

Ekko nodded, not minding at all." Since you live here now, you can use it whenever you like, no need to ask. Oh, and If you need me I'll be In the living room it's game night and I'll be playing with some friends."

"Game night? Will people be coming over," Rangiku asked.

"No, It's just Friends from overseas, including Ruben. We have a day in the month where we all play together online."

"Is that so, then have fun...that is unless you want to join us." Rangikus asked in a suggestive manner but Ekko shook his head, he was already late as it is.

" Suit yourself, oh, and tell Ruben I said hi. Come on Eris let's head to the hot springs, since you're an alien you might not know what that is but I promise you, you'll love it."

Rangiku Grabbed Eris who was just minding her own business and eating her takoyaki.

She accidentally drooped her plate but Ekko quickly reacted and caught the bowl. The look Eris gave Ekko when she saw her takoyaki was safe was akin to that of a worshiper seeing their god.

When The two girls disappeared into the house Ekko made his way to Rangikus's Bedroom and put all the bags down before going back to the Living Room.

He Bought all the Gaming Equity he would need From the system and bought some snacks in case he got a bit peckish and food for Ran and Eris When they come back from their Bath.

{Extracting 20 Ip from the host.}

Immediately after, everything he ordered appeared and Ekko didn't waste any time and Set everything up before he Grabbed a remote and changed the lights of the room to pink, purple and blue.

{Que Xbox Start-up animation.}

Ekko felt Giddy, as he looked forward to game night.

Meanwhile, Rangiku and Eris were already relaxing in the hot springs and admiring the Beautiful Stary sky.

" Haaaaa!" "Nyaaaaa!"

" This is the life, I never knew hotsprings could be so Relaxing, bath houses are good but this is a whole new level of comfort. How is it for you Eris." Rangiku asked Looking at Eris who looked just as relaxed as her.

"Mhhh! It feels amazing, Who knew you could use the planet's geothermal waters as a bath, my planet is also a bit hotter than earth's so I guess we always just saw it as a danger."

"I must invite the commander and all my fellow catians to enjoy these Hotsprings when they visit. Oh, I almost forgot but thank you Rangiku-San for letting me stay with you and your mate."

"It's fine, I'm sure Ekko would have...Eris could you repeat what you said just a second ago."

"Huh! To thank you for letting me stay." Eris asked confused.

"No not that, the mate Thing. You think Me and Ekko are lovers." Rangiku asked in a surprised tone.

"Are you not," Eris asked, tilting her head. Her ears also tilted in the same direction.

" Mhhh, to be honest, I don't what we are but...but, ahrrrr, enough about me, how about you..."

"Me?" Eris asked.

"Yes, you...and that sweet body of yours, how do you have such a thin waist and hips so wide, not to mention your boobs, they're like the perfect size, come on tell me your secrets, is it a type of alien technology." Rangiku asked Sneaking up behind Eris and immediately grabbing her hips.

" Nyaaaa! Hahahah, Rangiku pleas..pffft, haha!! Stop that, it tickles."

"Not until you give me all your secrets!" Rangiku said in a stern manner not letting up on her strongest Attack, the mighty tickle.

"Nyahahhaha!!"

Too bad Ekko wasn't there to witness such an Erotic scene. He was too busy trying to carry his team In a game of Team Deathmatch.

//////////////////////////////////

{30 minutes Later}

Ekko was in a game of search and destroy. The score was 1 - 0 for his team but everyone had died already, so he had to clutch it somehow.

Luckily He had a UAV from the previous Round. The map he was playing in was Standoff, which for him was one of the worser Maps of the game, he much preferred, hijacked, or nuketown, that way he could camp and snipe people Off.

(Yep, Ekko was one of those players.)

Ekko could hear his friend chanting, clutch, clutch, clutch through his headset as he killed another player.

While Ekko was Playing, a curious Cat decided to enter the room. She was first confused as to why the room looked so different than before but immediately forgot her train of thought when she saw all the snacks around Ekko, her eyes turned to predatory slits before she lunged at the snacks.

Of course, Ekko knew Eris was behind him Eating away at his snacks but He didn't care, he was too focused on the game.

With one minute thirty remaining he called his Uav in and Immediately saw an enemy On his left inside the station.

{Ratatatatata}

Immediately after Ekko Killed him, Eris perked up looking around cautiously, she even pulled out a futuristic-looking gun but, but when she saw it was just the Game, she relaxed.

She had seen these types of games on other planets as well, but they were more virtual reality-based. As there was no danger she went right back to snacking.

"Mhhhhhhh~ My stomach is so full. I feel like I'm in heaven!!💓" Eris said as she ate Some plum onigiri but her lips immediately puckered once She ate the sour Filling but tried her best to swollen.

Ekko chuckled Seeing her act like that but put his concentration back On the game. Luckily for him, he managed to clutch and Win the Round giving his team a two-point Lead.

Sadly Ekko's Streak stopped when a bullet Come from the wall and killed him, now it was up to Shelly, Ruben, Owen, and some other random player who joined them.

As Ekko leaned Back on the sofa, he suddenly felt a weight on his legs and looked down only to see Eris stretching on them before laying down on him just like a cat would.

"Nyaaaaaaaaaan!~" Eris meowed as she made herself comfortable.

"C-cute." Ekko gulped and Looked around to make sure the coast was clear before lifting his Hand to Pet Eris's head.

'I can't...resist the Fluff. It's too tempting.' Ekko layed his hand on Eris's head and was immediately blown away by how soft it was, it might even be as soft as his Futon.

He looked to see Eris's reaction but it seemed Like she didn't mind Him touching her. So he started to pat her head and Rub her ears, giving them a little Scratch, and what happened next Shocked him.

{💓~Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~💓}

Eris's Throat vibrated and produced a purring sound." She-shes actually purring, I might get Addicted to doing this."

[Hey Ekko what's that Noise...did you adopt a cat.]Owen Another friend of his who Shelly introduced him to, asked as he had been killed as well.

Ekko looked at Eris and thought about it for a second.[I guess you could say that. Though it was more like a spur-in-the-moment thing, Ya know.]

[ Wait You got a cat, how am I only finding out about this Now? You've got to send me pictures of her or him right now, is it a boy or a girl.] This time it was Shelly who asked, bombarding Ekko with multiple Questions.

Ekko was now in a tight spot, luckily he made an Excuse to send the pictures later but He knew Shelly would hound him for a picture eventually if he didn't send them. Would he really need to adopt a cat? Where would he get one on such short Notice?

{Somewhere Outside Tokyo.}

"Achoo!" A certain golden-eyed cat sneezed as she walked to who knows where.

" Huh, I wonder who's talking about me." Yoruichi thought as it was basically impossible for her to get sick.
