## Chapter Info

**Chapter 29: Nightshine** is the twenty-ninth chapter of Furry Fight Chronicles. It is the last chapter of the third volume.

## Summary

The chapter starts with Muko and Cookie walking at Tendonchi at night. Muko is hungry after so much training. Cookie promises to take Muko to a barbecue before going to Daikarin's show. Muko asks Cookie if she thinks she's ready to beat Kalita. Cookie states that a week hasn't passed yet, causing Muko to point out that Kalita is in front of them. Cookie fearfully proclaims that Kalita arrived before the week ended, but Muko is ready to fight thanks to her training.

Kalita has Muko and Cookie follow her, with the former thinking that Kalita is taking them to a fighting location. Kalita reveals that she didn't come to fight, but to take them to the Royal Roll casino. In the background, a mouse drinks onion juice as he watches the trio enter a casino. Inside the casino, Muko is overjoyed to find bunny waitresses and Cookie refuses a drink. Kalita takes Muko and Cookie to a roulette table, promising that they will become rich.

Kalita pulls a stack of 20,000 Moni chips from her breasts. She then gives a chip worth 5 Moni to Cookie, telling her to bet on black and red. Cookie doesn't mind wasting Kalita's money, so she bets on black. She states that there's a 50% chance of winning and doubling her biddings, but it doesn't matter in her case since she always loses. Kalita then bets her whole stack of chips on red. Muko realizes that Cookie's curse will cause her to lose when she bets on black, so Kalita needs to bet on red to win. Cookie yells that her curse doesn't work like that, stating that destiny can't be tricked like that.

Cookie calms down, stating that it's Kalita's money that is being gambled and therefore not her problem. Kalita informs Cookie that she took another 20,000 Moni loan in her name, causing Cookie to realize in horror that it's her money that's being gambled on the table. Cookie states that what Kalita did is illegal, but Kalita states that nothing is impossible with Artokai Enterprises. Cookie calls Kalita a debt-doubling backstabber, who promises Cookie that she'll split the winnings with her. Cookie feels her foresight disappear and can only close her eyes and hope for the best.

The ball lands on black thirteen, causing Muko to congratulate Cookie for her first win in two years. She then realizes that Kalita losing means that Cookie lost 19,995 Moni just to win 10. As Cookie dramatically complains that she can't even afford a rope to kill herself, Muko reminds Cookie that she can win with the 10 Moni she won. Reluctantly, Cookie picks up red. Muko chooses red, causing Cookie to panic because red will lose. Muko states her logic that Kalita lost because she bet on Cookie losing so all she needs to do is to bet on Cookie winning to win. Amusingly enough, the ball lands on black thirteen again, causing Cookie to lose her 10 Moni.

Outside of the casino, Cookie cries because her debt got doubled. Muko comforts her by stating that Cookie's fortune will come from furry fighting rather than gambling. She then wonders where Kalita is. The vixen went to a back alley to confront a cat lady at the roulette table. Kalita states that she saw her steal money from a bird guy on a winning streak who got distracted by Kalita's breasts when she pulled out the chips from her suit. Kalita demands the money the cat lady stole, causing the cat to pull a knife in an attempt to stab Kalita. The vixen easily knocks the cat lady with a punch, reasoning that she's not stealing if she's taking something from a thief.

Kalita meets with Muko at the entrance of the casino. Muko angrily demands Kalita to pay back the money she loaned from Cookie. Kalita refuses, causing Muko to rush at her. Muko suddenly faints, causing Cookie to think that she's suffering complications from the fight with Nyarai a week before. In reality, Muko fainted out of starvation, causing Kalita to take them to a barbecue restaurant. Once Muko eats enough to recover, Cookie calls out Kalita for getting her debt doubled. The vixen shamelessly states that she was verifying if Cookie had bad luck, which she did after seeing what happened at the casino. Ignoring Cookie's angry response, Kalita accepts the squirrel's offer to become a Combagal and win the prize money from defeating the Tendonchi Champions. The chapter ends with Muko and Cookie surprised as they realize they finally got Kalita to be their second Combagal.

An epilogue shows Muko and an annoyed Kalita in the cover of Combagal Clash dressed in cheerleader outfits to fight as Team Pom Pom Power. Mellow, Harry, and Saniko react with mixtures of surprise at Muko's return to furry fighting. Meanwhile, Shun Gonfano is at the top of the Ruby Tower, the tallest building of Tendonchi, watching the district. Shun is confronted by a large muscular dog who accuses Shun of betraying her. She reminds Shun that he was going to keep Cookie away from furry fighting, and yet she found a second Combagal to form a tag team to challenge the Tendonchi Champions.

Shun reassures the mysterious dog that he just needs to keep sabotaging Cookie's Combagals until they are forbidden from entering the ring. The dog punches the glass in front of Shun, stating that they will do things her way. She promises that she'll do things her way to prevent Cookie from harming a former Fortune Gal again. The epilogue ends by revealing that the dog is Freydar, Cookie's former Combagal, who is breaking out of her retirement to make Cookie crumble.
