Here's chapter 79.

The six canines that accompanied Louis were still shocked. Louis had never played any kind of video game in his entire life and he won this one like he was an expert. It was as if he was an expert in the use of firearms. And although Jack, Collot, Durham Miguno and Voss were unaware of it; Legoshi did know, although due to all the situations they had gone through in the last three months he had forgotten it and that was why he was just as surprised as his boyfriend and his other friends. And it was true, Louis sometimes used firearms to kill and even threaten someone. To anyone who hadn't witnessed that he would never imagine that dark part of the red deer's life.

On the red deer's side, though he wouldn't admit it out loud, he wasn't going to deny himself that he had fun. And it was the first time that he used a "weapon" to avoid doing something bad. He wondered where these kinds of games had been in his entire life. Maybe it would have helped him relax when he got frustrated for one reason or another. Even that would have been one of the things that he would have tried since he was a child, that was one of the things that he would have had to keep a secret all his life, as well as the secret that he slept with Haru several times since they met in the Cherrygton Academy when they both attended there, not to mention that she was the one he had his first time with. Only Legoshi was the only one who found out about it. Or also how he was able to keep secret the time he was the leader of a mafia. Which Legoshi was the only one who also found out.

Once the six canines came back to reality after being in shock, they saw that Louis was no longer standing in front of the video game, at one point they began to worry that he had gone back to the apartment while their minds were elsewhere, but when they began to look everywhere, finally Voss (who would be over Collot's head), could see him and pointed to where Louis saw. When Legoshi, Jack, Collot, Durham and Miguno looked where Voss was pointing, there was Louis playing another video game, and although he continued with his serious face they could see how much he was concentrating, was it his way of showing that he was enjoying himself? They didn't know, but that he hadn't left at the first opportunity, they could deduce that he liked video games somehow. Luckily, video games weren't the only thing that this place had to offer, so there were plenty of things for the red deer to entertain himself with.

When they came to see what he was playing now, it was a spaceship game, where he had to destroy all the targets to get to the next level. Physically that game had a certain resemblance to one they played in their childhood. Although they weren't 100% the same as the ones they played in their childhood, since this was a different dimension, it was very similar in the end. As they looked at the score, Louis was doing pretty well. He didn't seem to be a beginner at all. Everyone was surprised when they saw that Louis had the highest score when the game ended and to prove it he put his name next to his score. And he take another group of tickets that came out of the video game for his victory.

At that moment, the red deer turned to see the six canines and was annoyed by the way they were watching him. After watching them for a few minutes he said "What's wrong with them! It's like they've never seen someone playing a video game and getting the highest score!"

Collot was the first to come out of his surprised state and was the first to speak "Sorry, we just didn't expect you to be good in both video games."

Durham was the second to speak "Right, it sounds like you're someone who's played video games before."

Miguno would be third to say something "We didn't think you were going to get high scores on the first try."

After that Jack spoke "That's quite amazing, since we never witnessed anything like this before."

Then Legoshi said "Right, right."

Voss, who isn't used to talking, just nodded his head.

"Well, it's not a big deal. I'm sure you guys have gotten the same" Louis said with a tone of voice where he seemed to think that this was common for all people.

The six canines looked away momentarily with a bit of embarrassment, which the red deer immediately noticed when he realized that they were blushing.

"Wait a minute, let me understand something. You guys have been playing this kind of games for a long time before me, and you've never gotten scores as high as mine" Louis said, quite puzzled by the situation, he couldn't believe what he just found out.

"Well, you're right," Legoshi said quietly.

Louis started looking at them and then looked at the game he had been playing. He could see on the home screen, after he had entered his name into the high score memory that this was a multiplayer game.

"Well, if you want, I can show you how I did it so that you can also get a score equal to or almost like mine".

"Are you serious?" Legoshi asked raising his ears, his boyfriend and his friends did too.

"Of course, I'm more interested in seeing which of you could match or beat my record in this game" Louis replied.

The six canines began to move their tails with happiness, at this, something that the deer noticed and did not know what to think about it. So the six of them sat next to him in the chairs next to each other and each took the additional controls that were in the game. Louis started the game and so the seven began a new game.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, on the outskirts of the city, Finnick continued talking with Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi. The four of them had drunk enough sake for the day. Not enough to be on the floor unable to get up or anything, but enough to have flushed cheeks. He couldn't afford to drink more to the point of getting drunk for several reasons: First, he couldn't find his way back to the hotel. The second if another attack happened, he wouldn't have his five senses to get to safety and was in danger of being an easy target. The third one would surely receive another scolding from Jack and Judy, where surely he himself could become violent and wouldn't realize the things that could happen later. He wanted to avoid that kind of trouble right now for the time being, since they were in a moment of temporary peace and he wanted to enjoy it as much as he could.

"And then Finnick, when this trouble we're all going through is over. What are you planning to do?" Zorori asked.

"Well, to be honest I plan to end my vacation properly, relaxing and not doing any work, and when I return to Zootopia I'll go back to my business to earn easy money" Finnick replied.

The yellow fox and the two wild boars were between curious and a little nervous to find out about these businesses, since they knew the type of scams that the fennec fox did, since he himself had told them, but something inside them told them that they could there are darker things in that too.

"Anyway, I suppose you guys will stick with your plans," Finnick said.

"Of course. I'm not going to give up to become the king of pranks, as well as having a girlfriend and my own castle. I'm going to make my mother proud."

"Your mother? You've never mentioned her before and I haven't seen her yet either" said the fennec fox.

"Oh well, my mother is no longer with us. She passed away a long time ago, even years before that I met Ishishi and Noshishi" said the yellow fox showing a sad look. Even the two boars became sad because they knew very well what their master felt.

Finnick could feel the sadness that was building in the air at that moment, but he was curious to know about Zorori's mother. "What was her name?"

"Zororina. She was so beautiful. Her fur was slightly paler than mine and her hair was reddish. The color of her nose and eyes were like mine" Zorori replied as he poured himself another mouthful of sake and drank it down in one gulp. "She was very beautiful and very kind. I can't believe someone like that is gone so soon."

The fennec fox and the two wild boars noticed how the yellow fox's mood changed and more when he let several tears escape from his eyes. He was crying. That surprised Ishishi and Noshishi a lot, since they had never seen their master cry before, even when the three of them died temporarily a few years ago and found her in the sky, Zorori although he did show happiness when he saw her again, but he never cried, even after they came back to life and on another occasion they traveled to the past and met their younger version again. It seemed like the yellow fox was finally letting out those pent-up tears. Could it have been because of the sake that he couldn't control his emotions? That was that at the moment his apprentices could not answer. At that moment Zorori turned him back to the other three, sat down on the floor and began to cry. He didn't want the others to see it. The others decided to leave him there to vent, and they just watched them in silence.

Seeing that made Finnick remember how difficult his life was since he was little, he was abandoned by his parents who knows how long after he was born, he doesn't know when it was, since he has no memory of them or of that event. He had been raised in an orphanage his early years, thanks to which they were able to find a way to send him to school, though he never finished it after his best friend from school Skye moved out of Zootopia and never saw her again, and with whom he only had communications by phone, he ended up leaving both the school and the orphanage. He pretty much remained a loner after that until he met Nick when they started being con men. Back then, he never believed that this would be the beginning of what could be said to be his current family.

Although their lives were different, they both went through difficult things. Since with friends that they formed later in their lives they became, so to speak, part of their family. And he was able to confirm it by seeing how the wild boars approached the fox and sat next to him. Then he could see how he brought them both closer forming a hug with them. Finnick, even though it wasn't his style, for some reason he knew it was the right thing to do at least in this situation, so he walked over to Zorori and put one of his hands on his back to show him that he was there for him too if he wanted to vent too. At first Finnick felt a little strange doing that, because if he had been his past self he would have just left and said that he would come back another day, but this time it wasn't like that. But now for some reason it felt good to be there, as if his subconscious was telling him that this was the right thing to do, that helping a person who was in sad moments regardless of how long he had known him made him feel good.

This would be a change that would affect him a lot in the future, Finnick didn't know, he would have to see what would happen later.
