This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 529 - : Divine Game: Chaotic Restaurant 49

Rita had no intention of stealing Mistblade's skill icon.

It wasn't that she wasn't willing to do so—she didn't have much personal connection with Mistblade. They were, at most, 90% enemies in this world, 9% allies, and 1% alchemy teachers.

But after stealing TingoAutumn Deer's [Snap, Lock], Rita's confidence had grown. A rare opportunity like this? She wouldn't take action unless it was someone from the top 100 of the ladder.

She wasn't one to rush in unless the stakes were high.

However, she still owed Mistblade a translation of some game rules. After checking the rule scrolls floating outside the restaurant, confirming there was nothing suspicious, Rita entered and sat for a while, helping Mistblade translate the rules she could.

Though she used B80234615 for help, Rita kept a balance and only translated 3 rules—she had tried to understand, but with her knowledge of just under 700 languages from all races, she couldn't understand a single one.

Once she finished translating for Mistblade, she was about to leave, but the other three players in the restaurant gathered around and asked for her help translating their rules. Naturally, it turned into a mutual translation exchange.

Rita was happy to do it. Even with B80234615's help, there were still plenty of unknown rules she hadn't seen.

The players there were all level 17 or 18, high-level and not ones to deceive Rita.

After all, her name was everywhere recently—either for completing a rare achievement and having it pinned in the chat channel or for the announcement of her Ancient Curse broadcast. Even her curse cancellation was announced on the world battleground. Divine Game hadn't been this lively in a while.

If Rita were to lie about the translations, it would be easy for others to call her out. She could easily jump into the battle chat channel and make a comment, and it wouldn't take long for other players to notice.

Several players took turns approaching Rita to complete their translation deals. Rita kept it fair: she translated as many rules for them as they had done for her. The trade went smoothly, but the restaurant's rabbit customer was becoming increasingly strange. While Rita was translating one-on-one, the rabbit sat beside her, watching silently, not saying a word...

By the time Rita left the restaurant, only five rules were still unknown to her. Most of the unlocked game rules were related to [Chef], meaning that if she were to find another job next, it seemed like becoming a [Chef] would be the best choice.

It was only 3 PM, and the restaurant would close in under four hours.

Theoretically, she could have blended in without issues, especially with her [Mysterious Power]... Wait, what?

The sounds of footsteps grew closer. Rita turned around and saw dozens of rabbits, big and small, seemingly gathering at the same time, leaving their restaurants and standing outside, all staring at her.

The left side of the food street—lined with restaurant after restaurant—was filled with rabbit heads turning to look at her. The sight made Rita's scalp tingle.

"That's her, right?"

"Yeah, that's her!"

"Let's go, go, go!"

"Charge!"

"Gaga, this time we're really going all out."

"I heard she cried out of anger."

"I heard she vomited blood in anger."

They didn't seem to care whether she could understand their words. There was a mix of languages, but Rita could catch a few phrases, and B80234615 helped translate a few more.

The conclusion was clear: they were coming for her!

Countless rabbits charged toward her. Rita, having seen the line of rabbits, took to the air and bolted away.

Rita: "This is definitely Rabbit 3's doing!"

She couldn't have offended so many gods at once. Only their own kind could arrange such a coordinated attack.

It made sense now. She'd suspected from the start that Rabbit 3 had planned for this. Even though she knew Rita would use the rabbit hair on [Mysterious Power], Rabbit 3 still agreed to the trade, obviously preparing a plan to deal with her.

With so many rabbits—more than 200—it would only take a single kick from each one to take her down.

B80234615: "…I've never seen anything this chaotic before."

Before Rita could reply, she felt a rabbit foot kick her from behind. Thankfully, she managed to spin in the air, absorbing some of the impact, and steadied herself. But a new rabbit foot was coming at her from the front. Rita quickly ducked to avoid the blow to her face.

Players from the restaurants all stepped outside to watch as hundreds of rabbits chased Rita down.

There were rabbits everywhere. Rita couldn't even find a way to slip into a nearby restaurant, much less escape.

While Rita zigzagged through the street, she ended up near Restaurant 233 and spotted Rabbit 3 sitting at the restaurant entrance, sipping a cup of coffee. After locking eyes with her, Rabbit 3 pretended to clink glasses in the air.

Rita clenched her teeth. "So smug! So smug!!"

Rita: "Do you know the name of this god?"

B80234615: "No idea."

Rita was struck again. She didn't dare use [Dandelion Wind] here—there were too many rabbits. If each one grabbed a dandelion and crushed it, she would be done for.

The food street didn't allow unlimited flight. After reaching a certain height, a transparent barrier would stop her.

Besides the used [Mysterious Power] and the [Ancient Curse] that she'd agreed not to use for this game, the only skills left in her possession were [Bedtime Tale], [I Just Want to Improve So Badly], [Fourfold Spring], [Dandelion Wind][Match-3], [Behind the Scenes], and [Snap, Lock].

None of them could change her current situation.

The only thing she could think of was to steal a skill that could help her escape, and almost all players had gathered to watch the spectacle.

She could even hear Sea Pony's voice, filled with envy: "Crab! How much would it cost for a funeral like this with this lineup? Can you help me buy one?!"

Rita kicked a rabbit away and grabbed one that had already attacked her, using it as a shield to block the incoming blows. No matter how hard the rabbit elbowed her, she refused to let go.

These rabbits adjusted their stats and strength during battle, so this one couldn't break free from Rita's grip just yet.

Her forearm had already been crushed by the rabbit's grip. Her ribs were probably broken, and her internal organs had been damaged—Rita was struggling to breathe, but even so, she didn't let go.

The rabbit was the perfect size—just right to shield most of her body. She'd chosen it carefully.

The rabbit: "...Give me a break."

Rita could feel her right arm losing strength as the bones were crushed, but even with her improved body, she felt powerless.

She quickly switched to her left arm, keeping the rabbit as a shield. She even found the strength to retort, "Still not enough of a favor for you? You're on the battlefield's C-list, and you're riding on my fame, so enjoy it while it lasts!"

The rabbit twitched its lips: "...Well, thanks?"

Rita: "No problem! If you want to thank anyone, thank the new chef at Restaurant 233!"

Before the rabbit could respond, she leaned slightly to the side, using the rabbit to block another kick from a different rabbit.

By now, she had been cornered at the edge of the food street, right above the top-ranked restaurants below.
