The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Taka, Tora, Batta!"

"TaToBa, TaToBa, TaToBa!"

The driver's built-in chanting sounded, and three rings of coin-shaped light and shadow swirled around Eiji before finally imprinting themselves on him. Kamen Rider OOO had made his appearance!

The green locust among the three animal totems on his chest lit up, and Eiji, whose legs were flashing green, pushed off the ground and quickly approached the weevil-devouring monster!

Ankh, relieved to see Eiji go to fight, then took a closer look at Miku.

A golden fang mask, crimson eyes, claws gleaming with a sharp, cold light, a fang pendant around the neck, and a driver at the waist.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Anku asked Miku, who scoffed, "What...what...what's it to you?"

"Still...still...still looking?"

"What, you want to fight me?"

Miku, who retorted mercilessly, found Anku's flushed face somewhat amusing. Anku glared angrily at Miku for a moment before looking away.

"I don't care who you are, just don't get in my way!"

"Oh...."

Miku scoffed and ignored Anku, instead focusing on Eiji's battle against the giant weevil-like Devouring Monster. The size difference between the two was too great; relying solely on his fists and feet, Eiji lacked an effective way to attack and was completely at a disadvantage.

Even the sharp claws attached to the tiger coin couldn't do anything to the weevil-devouring monster.

Upon seeing this scene, Miku recalled how he had tormented Aifin in the past, and unconsciously rubbed the fangs on his chin.

In Wind City, dopants only grow to gigantic size when they go berserk, but here, as long as there are enough Cell Coins, they can grow to gigantic size at will.

However, the greedy have a fatal weakness: their core coin. Once that coin is taken away, no matter how big their body is, they will instantly revert to their original size.

In this respect, as long as Miku's memory is not destroyed, he can continue to use his power and recover even if he is injured.

In comparison, both the Dopant and the Greedy have their own strengths and weaknesses. Without the Memory, the Dopant is a lamb to the slaughter, while the Greedy is a tiger with its teeth pulled without the Core Coin.

"A tiger!"

Seeing the gleaming yellow claws creeping along Eiji's arm, Miku touched his own waist.

"If I could obtain the Cat-type combo, my power would definitely increase by a huge leap!"

Recalling W's ultimate form, Miku was deeply captivated; that kind of immense power was something everyone would crave.

"But the flaws of the greedy are still too great. After all, once you get involved with the Core Medal, although you gain great power, what difference is there between being alive and being dead?"

Miku, lost in thought, recalled the strange changes Eiji underwent after obtaining the Dinosaur Combo, and a chill ran down his spine. The Core Medal was powerful, but its drawbacks were too great.

"Although the original version can't be moved, there's still another option..."

Miku, his eyes gleaming, couldn't help but chuckle, causing Anku beside him to glance at him in surprise and subtly move away from Miku.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A deep, rumbling motorcycle engine sounded, and Miku looked over.

"It was actually this guy!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Miku vanished without hesitation in a flash.

Once the visitor discovers my presence, I'll be in trouble!

Miku, who was hiding, saw Shintaro Goto carrying a long, rectangular box towards Eiji. When Eiji opened it, the Holy Symbol Sword was indeed revealed inside.

OOO, when paired with the Holy Symbol Sword, can sever space itself; in Eiji's hands, this sword is like adding wings to a tiger.

"That Goto guy is up to no good!"

Miku, who was hiding, couldn't help but complain when he saw the complicated look in Goto's eyes as he looked at Eiji's figure. Eiji, who had the Holy Mark Sword, rode his vending motorcycle past the Weevil Devouring Monster, and the Cell Coins fell to the ground with a clinking sound.

"Throw the coin into the sword!"

Goto gave a timely hint, and after groping around to put the cell coin into the groove on the sword, he pulled the lever, and the cell coin slid into the sword.

Eiji, riding his motorcycle, dodged the Devouring Monster's bites, and as he raised his arm, he swept the O scanner across the Holy Symbol Slash Sword.

"Triple scan charging!"

A rousing chant rang out, the cellular coin within the Holy Symbol Sword gradually faded, and red, yellow, and green light began to emanate from the blade. The motorcycle came to a stop at the weevil's tail, and Eiji delivered a horizontal slash.

"Die!"

With a passionate outburst, Eiji swung his Holy Symbol Sword, creating a thin spatial rift wherever the blade struck, causing everything on it to shift and slide away.

When it reset, the weevil-eating monster's body exploded, and countless coins rained down from the sky.

"Everything that's mine is mine!"

Ankh's arm detached from Izumi Shingo's body and flew into the air to catch the Cell Medal. One of the coin rolled to Miku's feet. After bending down to pick it up, Miku laughed, "Kamen Rider OOO, not bad!"

Chapter Seven: The Fish Head Gets Beaten Up Again!

Miku, clutching a coin, hummed an unknown melody as he swished his tail and slowly walked away. A dog tag around his neck swayed with his movements.

The Hong Shang Foundation, top floor of its headquarters building, president's office.

Miku, with the gait of a cat, slipped into the office through the cat hole in the door. As expected, Uncle Hongshang was still baking cakes.

"came back?"

"Ok!"

Li Zhong watched the conversation between the person and the cat with some strangeness, and for some reason, she felt that Miku's appearance was very wrong.

"Miku, your birthday is almost here, what would you like?"

"My...birthday?"

Miku, who was stepping on the soft cushions in the cat bed, paused, then said casually, "I don't know, there's nothing in particular I want...want..." Miku lowered her head, the dog tag around her neck reflecting a hazy light, and she added in her mind, "What I want right now, you can't give me!"

"Oh, I see. Then I'll prepare a surprise for you!" Hong Shang stopped what he was doing and looked at Miku with bright eyes. Li Zhong interjected, "President, shouldn't a surprise only be called a surprise when the person involved is unaware of it?"

"Hahaha......"

"But what I'm preparing for Miku is the biggest surprise ever, so telling you in advance won't hurt!"

"Ugh....."

Miku, shaking his head and sighing, ignored Hong Shang, who was getting a little carried away, and lay down in the cat bed with another sigh.

Looking at Miku lying in the cat bed, Li Zhong asked in confusion, "President, why is Miku wearing a dog tag around its neck?"

"This one..."

Hong Shang stared at the dog tag around Miku's neck and said in a complicated tone, "This is a painful memory for him, so please don't bring it up again!"

"All right!"

"So, who's celebrating their birthday in the company today?"

"It's Director Yonebayashi from the administrative department..."

As Li Zhong carefully read through the employee information in the notebook, Miku's perked-up ears drooped.

..........

In a grove of trees outside the city, four long strips of cloth of different colors lay scattered down, and the greedy gathered together.

"Shovel, I heard that the Devouring Monster you bred was taken care of by OOO?" Ornamental Hyena teased Shovel, whose face was somewhat gloomy. Shovel punched a tree and said fiercely, "What was that guy Anku thinking? Wasn't the painful lesson last time enough? How dare he do something like this again!"

"OOO!" Aiqi stood next to Thief Horn, watching the big, goofy guy sitting on the ground scribbling haphazardly with a twig. "Speaking of which, besides us Greedy Ones, are there any other weirdos?"

"What do you mean, Lovefin?"

Sensing the hidden meaning in Aifin's words, Shili asked curiously. Aifin recalled the guy she had met when she was resurrected, especially those scarlet eyes, and shook her head.

"nothing..."

"Speaking of which, we still don't have enough Cell Coins. I need to go and make some more!"

"Lovefin, don't go!"

Hearing that Aifin was leaving, Daojiao grabbed the former's clothes and said seriously, "OOO is here, it's dangerous."

"Cell Coin, here you go!"

"No need, Thief Horn!" Aiqi said affectionately, patting the short horn on Thief Horn's head. "I'll be right back. Wait for me here!"

"I'll give you lots of Cell Coins then!"

"Ok!"

Daojiao nodded heavily, watching Aizhi leave.

.......

"Anku is really something, why did he have to hit a little girl of all!"

With the unconscious Hina on his back, Eiji walked to the entrance of the international restaurant.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

As Eiji pushed open the shop door, a woman dressed in traditional Indian clothing walked towards him. "Hello, I'm the shop manager. How can I help you?"

"Oh dear, isn't this Hina-chan? What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Hina collapse, Chiyoko Shiraishi exclaimed in surprise. After all, girls like Hina, who are both cute and incredibly strong, are rare finds. It's not easy to find one like her, and seeing her like this is truly worrying!

"Come with me quickly!"

After leading Eiji to the back living room and settling Hina in, Eiji took his leave.

"What a strange fellow, but he looks kind of familiar!"

Shop manager Shiraishi picked up a photograph, looked at it, and laughed, "How could that be?"

At the entrance of the Hongshang Foundation headquarters building, a cat named Miku stands at the door.

The employees coming and going all avoided Miku, after all, everyone in the foundation knew that the chairman loved his cat.

What's wrong with this ancestor today?
