The Strange Cat from Fuuto

After getting off the bus, Miku, who was following Uncle Hongshang to visit the biological research institute, saw that man—Kiyoto Maki!

Kiyoto Maki looks exactly like he does in the TV series. He's wearing a black suit, his face is solemn with glasses on, and the doll he's dragging on his left arm sends chills down Miku's spine.

"President!"

"Hey, Dr. Maki, Happy Birthday!"

Uncle Hongshang shouted loudly as he took the cake from Rinaka. Maki glanced at the cake and said, "President, consuming too much sugar can lead to an out-of-shape figure. Not everyone is like Ms. Rinaka!"

"How indifferent!"

Dr. Maki, who was talking to Hong Shang, noticed Miku and swept his somewhat cold eyes over her, saying, "Miku, it's been a long time!"

"Huh?" Miku was suddenly startled. He couldn't understand how Maki knew him, but he casually said with a normal expression, "It's been a long time... no... long time, Dr. Maki!"

Hong Shang watched the man and the cat talking with a smile, a hint of amusement and sadness appearing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Hong, straightening his clothes, said, "Alright, let's go inside quickly!"

Miku followed silently behind the group, his eyes constantly scanning the interior of the biological research institute.

"So this is the biological research institute of the Hongshang Foundation? It looks interesting!"

Miku, who had spent some time in the experimental department of a museum, had seen various memory development experiments and equipment. However, the talent and equipment at the Hongshang Biological Research Institute were specifically focused on the development of cell coins.

Both sides have their own merits!

As Miku walked along, he saw a strange instrument that looked like a huge culture tank, but it was completely empty.

"What is this thing used for?" Miku wondered, looking at the culture tank with some confusion, since it looked somewhat like a device related to memory.

"How could that be? There are devices related to memory in San Dan's world. I really miss Fengdu!"

Miku shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it. This appearance caught the attention of Hong Shang and Dr. Maki. Dr. Maki gave Hong Shang a questioning look, while Hong Shang gently shook his head.

Miku, oblivious to the two's strange behavior, focused her gaze on the doll held in Maki's arm, a sly glint in her eyes.

Chapter 10: Time Machine?!

Miku's sinister gaze sent a chill down Dr. Maki's spine for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong, Dr. Maki?"

Seeing Dr. Mamoru's distressed expression, Hong Shang asked, "Why do you look so pale?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a chill down my back!"

After instinctively protecting the doll on his left arm, Dr. Maki spoke.

Miku chuckled to himself. Just by looking at this guy and thinking about it, he could tell that he really was a genius researcher!

Seeing Maki turn his head, Miku stared directly at Maki Kiyoto, flicked his tail, and asked, "What... what's wrong? Is there something you need, Dr. Maki?"

"fine!"

With a cold expression, Maki turned his head away in confusion, wondering why he had this feeling that some treacherous subject wanted to harm him.

But it doesn't seem like anything has happened.

"Is it an illusion?"

Maki muttered to himself as he continued leading Hong Shang and the others on their tour.

Miku trailed behind the group like a little tail, ignoring all of Maki's explanations and only staring at the doll Maki was holding on his arm.

Miku's tail twitched back and forth, and he was in agony.

He was so eager to overturn the real wooden doll that he couldn't wait any longer.

When the group stopped in one place, Miku aimed at the doll on Maki's arm, shrank back, pushed off the ground with both legs, and shot out like an arrow.

Swish...

When the others noticed Miku's movements, they only saw a blur flash by. The next moment, Miku pounced like a hungry tiger and grabbed the doll from Dr. Maki's arm with its two front paws.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Just moments ago, Dr. Maki had been calm and composed, but now he seemed to have gone mad, screaming in panic and becoming hysterical.

"Ah...ah...ah...."

Dr. Maki, making strange noises, searched for the doll. Miku, with his claws firmly pressing down on the doll, grinned wickedly on his furry face.

Miku's mouth was wide open, revealing sharp teeth.

Seeing Dr. Maki like this, he was overjoyed.

The depression I had felt earlier had vanished at this moment.

Hehehe..

Miku, secretly amused, didn't care whether the doll was clean or not, picked it up and ran away.

"Sigh!" Hong Shang sighed, rubbing his forehead. "It's starting again!"

"Goto, I'm counting on you!"

"Yes!"

The calm and collected Goto nodded, showing no other expression despite Dr. Maki's loss of composure, and followed Miku after him.

"Oh my, so it's you who's pursuing me!"

Miku, carrying the doll in its mouth, used its supple and agile body to deliberately squeeze into nooks and crannies.

"Hehe, you can't catch...me!"

Miku, who had crawled under a piece of equipment, beckoned to Goto with its tail, its emerald green eyes full of mockery. Seeing that Goto's expression remained unchanged, Miku turned around and wagged its butt at him.

"If you can't catch me, I...I...I...I am just that...that...powerful!"

Miku, with a double entendre, carries a doll and deliberately heads towards the most rugged and difficult places, which, of course, refers to the rugged and difficult places in terms of humans.

For example, under tables, under pipes, on equipment, etc., Goto, who was so angry that his teeth were itching, finally changed his expression.

He casually picked up a mechanical can next to him, pulled the tab, and a small mechanical bird fluttered its wings in his palm.

"Go, grab him!" Goto ordered. "Remember, don't hurt him!"

The mechanical bird nodded and flapped its wings and flew away. Goto then took out several more mechanical bird jars and gave chase.

Upon seeing that Goto had actually activated the mechanical bird, Miku cursed under his breath for being shameless, but he seemed to have forgotten that he had been even more shameless before.

But when it comes to cats, can you say it's shameless?

That's entirely due to human foolishness!

As Miku ran, he entered the deepest research room in the institute. Upon seeing the huge machine inside, Miku's mouth dropped open, and he didn't even notice the doll he was holding falling from his mouth.

"What the hell? Why would a research institute have such a huge thing?"

Miku, who was muttering to himself in surprise, approached without paying any attention, after all, this guy in front of him was really too surprising!

"I am Goto, and I've retrieved the doll!"

Holding a doll in one hand, Goto took out his personal communicator and stared intently at Miku, afraid that this guy might cause some trouble!

But Miku's entire attention was focused on the enormous machine before him. Having dragged the crazed Dr. Maki and his group here, they saw Miku staring blankly at the machine standing in the massive research room. Hong Shang said, "Shocked, aren't you!"

"This machine is the greatest discovery of our biological research institute!"

The complacent Hong Shang was unaware that Miku was thinking about how he could finally return to Fengdu.

The machine in front of us is about seven or eight meters tall. Its blue-gray body gives it a deep and understated feel. The angular body shows a unique metallic beauty, especially the cabin in the center, which is dazzling and captivating.

Why did the Little Demon King's Time-Space Demon God appear in Three Eggs' world?

Despite his many doubts, Miku's primary concern now was whether the machine would work. After all, it concerned his hope of returning to Wind City!

A hope to return to Fuuto without relying on the dimensional barrier.

Miku was now completely focused on the Demon Machine and ignored everything else. He didn't even care about Maki's clenched teeth expression as she regained her composure.

"It...it...it can work?" Miku eagerly awaited Uncle Hongshang's reply, but Uncle Hongshang stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the gray Demon Machine with a look of melancholy. Maki, standing next to him, interjected, "I'm sorry, Miku!"

"It's been unusable ever since we dug this machine out!"

"Although some of the machine's parameters indicate they are normal, it just won't start!" Hong Shang said with considerable frustration, and Miku was very disappointed after hearing this. Her previously cheerful eyes were now filled with gloomy disappointment.

"but......"

Hong Shang, drawing out his words with a smile, said, "We've acquired some technology by studying this Demon God Machine!"

"Want to go take a look?"

With renewed hope, Miku nodded eagerly, saying, "I want to see...see...see...see!"

"Let's go then!"

Hong Shang, who was leading the way, led everyone through a narrow passage in the research room. Once inside, Miku discovered a huge machine that resembled an elevator.

The cylindrical body, the semi-transparent glass door, and the thick pipes connected to it are everywhere, with one staff member after another in white uniform walking around.

Through the window, Hong Shang proudly declared to Miku, "Miku, this is the greatest invention of the 21st century!"

"A teleporter that can transcend the boundaries of time and space and travel freely between worlds!"

"Just you wait and see!"

As Miku looked expectantly at the machine, a spark of hope rekindled in his heart. Peering through the glass, his emerald eyes were filled with longing.

"Sizzle..."

Suddenly, a barely perceptible static electricity rose from his hair, unnoticed by anyone except Miku.

Miku stared thoughtfully at the cylindrical elevator behind the glass partition, his eyes gleaming with an uncertain light.

Soon, Uncle Hongshang led Miku and the others away from the biological research institute. Miku, who was still looking out the window at the institute from the car, seemed very reluctant to leave.

"You like it here?"

Hong Shang smiled and stroked Miku's fur softly as he spoke, and Miku nodded vigorously.

But a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
