The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Did you put it down...?"

Miku, propping himself up on his two front legs, stared at Saeko with his emerald green eyes. Saeko, her face hidden beneath a black veil, revealed a hint of reminiscence as she said, "It's all in the past..."

"Hmph, I won't... I won't... give up so easily!"

Miku broke free from Saeko's embrace and ran straight out of the venue. Seeing this, Shotaro pressed down on his hat and said to Yukie, "I'll go take a look. You wait for me here!"

"Shotaro," Philip said, coming to Shotaro's side, "I'll come too, after all, he's become like this because of me!"

"Let's go then, partner."

"This time, we must bring Miku back!"

"Ok!"

The two partners exchanged a glance and ran out together.

Miku's four short legs moved incredibly fast. With Wakana on his mind, he accidentally bumped into someone's leg.

"Meow!"

Miku, who was complaining and howling, looked up and saw a person dressed in a bright red motorcycle suit, chasing a pterosaur monster through the streets with a strangely styled greatsword.

"Brother A?"

"Shouldn't this guy be in the hall preparing for his wedding?"

"And this guy, why is the Devouring Monster in Fengdu?"

Chapter 23: Kamen Rider Allergy?!

"What exactly is going on?"

Miku, watching alone as Brother A wrestled with the Devouring Monster, felt somewhat bewildered. Brother A struggled to drag the engine blade, each attack accompanied by a long forward and backward swing.

"Hey, Miku!"

Shotaro and Philip, who had caught up, saw Miku squatting on the side of the street watching A-san fight the monster hand-to-hand.

"No wonder I couldn't find Zhaojing after searching for so long. How did he end up here?"

"She's not even wearing a formal dress yet, she's practically asking for trouble!"

"Forget about that now, let's take down this guy first!"

"Ok!"

"Cyclone!"

"Joker!"

"Transform!"

After Philip and Shotaro transformed, they bypassed A-Ge and punched the Pteranodon Devourer.

"Hey, Terui, why aren't you staying in the auditorium? What are you doing here?" Shotaro asked A-ge while beating up the Devouring Monster. Philip chimed in, "And why aren't you transforming?"

Upon hearing the W duo bring up this matter, Brother A's face showed an indescribable expression as he said, "Don't question me!"

He swung the engine blade with all his might, slashing at the Devouring Monster.

"Ah!"

Miku squatted to one side, showing no intention of offering any help.

Even now that he has returned to Fengdu, he still feels a sense of estrangement, like an outsider.

If the vegetables are no longer here, then why did you try so hard to get back here?

"Hey, why are coins falling out of this guy's clothes?"

Shotaro punched his opponent in the chest, scattering several coins.

"This guy doesn't look like a dopant!"

"What exactly is it?"

Philip was a little conflicted about this. Shotaro made room for A-san so that he could attack smoothly, saying, "No matter who he is, let's take him down first!"

"Ok!"

Scorching flames erupted from the wristband on W's right hand, now equipped with the Heat memory. The Pteranodon Devourer held its arms horizontally in front of it, aiming a crisscross slash at W.

Several golden, shuttle-shaped energy darts shot out, easily dodging W and A, but it was Miku, who was squatting in place, head down, deep in thought, who suffered the most.

"Watch out, Miku!"

"Luna!"

At the critical moment, Philip switched memories, and with a flick of his bright yellow arm, he knocked down the energy darts in mid-air.

Just as W and A's attention was completely diverted, the Pteranodon Devourer waved its arms and fled from there.

"Damn it, he got away!"

Angrily deactivated his transformation, Xiangtai Oang came to Miku's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Miku?"

"No...no...no need to worry!"

After glancing indifferently at Shotaro, Philip, whose consciousness had returned to his body, came to Miku's side and said apologetically, "Sorry, Miku."

"I....."

"No...no...please stop talking, I don't want to...I don't want to...I don't want to hear it!"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Akiko, screaming loudly, came running over, lifting the hem of her wedding dress and wearing high heels. Shotaro felt a headache coming on when he saw Akiko.

It's an important wedding, but the bride and groom both ran away. What are the guests left at the venue supposed to think?

Did the bride and groom elope?

This isn't a romance novel!

"Akiko, why are you here instead of staying in the meeting room?"

"That's my line!"

Akiko angrily twisted Shotaro's ear and said, "You promised to walk the red carpet with me in Dad's place, but what happened?"

"And you, as an important protagonist of the wedding, how could you come here?"

Akiko, who somehow pulled out an old, family-inherited size 42 slipper, smacked Brother A on the head with the sole of the slipper.

Shotaro quickly tried to smooth things over, pulling Akiko aside and saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. We're Kamen Riders, we have to protect the city and the people!"

"Kamen Rider?"

Akiko, speaking in a drawn-out, sarcastic tone, stared wide-eyed at Shotaro, who, for some reason, felt uneasy meeting Akiko's gaze.

"Zuo, don't upset her!"

"She's allergic to Kamen Rider now!"

"Kamen Rider allergy?"

Shotaro and Philip exchanged a glance and asked in unison, sounding puzzled.

Seeing this scene, Miku's frustration was somehow relieved, and he simply jumped onto a nearby stool to watch the show. All Miku saw was Akiko taking out the Accle drive and Accle memory.

"From now on, there will be no more Kamen Riders!"

"Oh dear, this is really terrible, they confiscated the driver and memory!"

Miku glared at A-Ge with a sarcastic look, but little did he expect...

"And you, as a pet, why don't you stay at home instead of running around all day?"

"If I remember correctly, you can transform too!"

"To prevent you from disappearing again, hand over your driver!"

Akiko, holding the A-Driver and memory, walked towards Miku. When Miku saw Akiko's gaze, the hair on his body stood on end.

Damn it, this woman is serious!

Miku jumped off the pier and hid behind Shotaro, hoping that this half-baked guy would draw attention to him.

"Akiko, calm down!"

A-ge hugged Akiko and gently comforted her, but Akiko glared at him fiercely and said, "If you continue being your Kamen Rider, then I..."

"...I won't marry you!"

Akiko ran away crying, leaving A-ge completely bewildered. "Is this premarital depression?" Philip asked with amusement. A-ge knelt on the ground, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "Heh, despair is the end for all couples!"

"Hehehe...hahaha...."

"This kid's gone, he's had a mental breakdown!"

Miku, unable to bear it any longer, covered her face with her paw. "Stop acting crazy! The bride's run away, hurry up and chase after her!"

Shotaro, who was following behind Akiko, took off after her. Philip glanced at Miku and, after seeing that she had turned her head away, sighed and also chased after her. A-ge knelt on the spot, grinning foolishly.

"Why aren't you chasing after them? There's still... there's still... there's still time!"

Miku, who jumped in front of A-ge, spoke up. A-ge staggered to his feet and shouted, "Akiko, I love you!"

After watching the three figures disappear around the street corner, Miku sighed and walked alone on the street, looking rather melancholy.

"You still can't let it go?"

Saeko appeared in front of Miku, who looked up at her and said, "Now that things have come to this... now, what's the point of talking about letting go... letting go... letting go of what you can't let go of?"

"Then come with me, I think Father will be very happy to see you...you...you will be very happy!"

"Grandpa...Grandpa?"

Puzzled, Miku followed Saeko to a cemetery on the outskirts of Fuuto. The two, a human and a cat, eventually stopped in front of a tombstone.

"The Tomb of the Madoka Family, Madoka Ryoubei, Madoka Fumio!"

Silently reciting the words on the tombstone, Miku squatted in front of it, his expression somewhat sorrowful.
