The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Chapter Twenty-Five: A colossal flame....CG Knight!?

The purple pterosaur-like monster, clutching a green Gaia Memory, was dragging Akiko around Fuuto, using it to browse through past events related to Kamen Rider Skull in Fuuto.

The city of Wind itself carries many memories, which are part of the Earth's memory.

The Devouring Monster wielding the Gaia Memory is like a thief with a filing cabinet key. Although it can open the filing cabinet containing past memories, it can only see a small part of it!

Miku, who was squatting to the side, was numb from the pain. That damned Devouring Monster hadn't finished looking at the past memories of this land.

"Is this guy done yet? He's taking forever!"

Miku, harboring resentment, watched Akiko cling tightly to the Devouring Monster, who had her eyes closed. Akiko was undoubtedly experiencing, along with the Devouring Monster, the memories left behind by her father, Narumi Shokichi, on this land.

"Hmm, you've finished watching?"

The Devouring Monster moved its body, spread its wings, and soared into the sky, completely ignoring Akiko clinging to it.

As long as it doesn't bother him, he doesn't care about having an extra accessory on his leg.

"More memories, I want to see more!"

"More memories of Kamen Rider!"

"Finally, we've moved to a new place!"

Miku got up and walked out, looking down at the Devouring Monster in mid-air. Noticing Miku's gaze, the Devouring Monster subconsciously glanced back.

Good heavens, what is this bully doing here?

The Devouring Monster, its body stiffening, nearly fell from the sky, but it quickly regained its balance and sped off to its next destination.

"Why is this guy here? Isn't he...?"

The ravenous monster, its voice trembling with fear, flapped its wings and flew further and further away.

"What's wrong? You shouldn't be this scared just because you saw me!"

Something's fishy!

Miku, who had been closely following the Devouring Monster, ran all the way to a corridor built on the edge of the sea.

The windmill, shaped like a seagull, spins as the sea breeze blows, and the salty sea breeze on your face invigorates you.

"call...."

"I haven't felt this comfortable in ages!"

Miku stretched as he gazed at the sea. Akiko had already been placed on the ground by the Devouring Monster, while Miku looked at himself with a tense expression, the memory he was holding absorbing the light points containing the knight's past.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing Miku approach, the Devouring Monster's anxiety intensified. If it weren't for the fact that the Devouring Monster didn't have a bladder, it would have already spilled water all over the ground.

"Why does this guy seem so afraid of me?"

Subconsciously groping for the fangs on his chin, Miku slowly moved forward.

"You...you...don't come any closer!"

The Devouring Monster, its voice cracking, was torn between wanting the Knight's Memories it was about to obtain and fearing the bully cat before it. It had harbored some doubts, but after seeing Mikumo's fang-baring gesture, it was completely convinced that this creature was indeed the bully cat!

"This guy seems really afraid of me!"

“I don’t remember doing anything to him.”

Is it really necessary?

As soon as Miku reached out, he saw the Devouring Monster instinctively take two steps back. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Miku lifted a huge energy blast with one hand.

He walked slowly and deliberately toward the Devouring Monster, reluctant to part with the Knight's Memories that were about to be obtained, yet unwilling to be bullied by the mischievous cat in front of him.

"Ok?"

When Miku saw the Devouring Monster make a move, his mind tightened slightly. Although Miku was a little cautious because he had never faced this type of Devouring Monster before, he knew that it would be a piece of cake if he really faced it! The Devouring Monster was no stronger than the Greedy One. He could easily beat the Greedy One, so why should he be afraid of the Devouring Monster?

After all, if I can take their coins, can they take my memory?

I am Miku.

This is just bullying!

"If you dare to move, I'll smash you into a pile of coins!"

Having made up his mind, Miku slightly bent over, looking just like a beast poised to pounce on its prey.

"Splash, splash..."

"Ding, ding, ding..."

The sound of coins scattering was incessant.

Miku stared in astonishment at the Devouring Monster scattering coins all over the ground, utterly bewildered. "We haven't even made a move yet, and you've already surrendered? What does that mean?!"

Watching Miku's Devouring Monster with bated breath, and seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in Miku's bloodshot eyes, he steeled himself and separated the coin from his body once more.

The Devouring Monster, with only one-third of the coins remaining in its body, nervously watched Miku.

"This guy seems really afraid of me!"

Miku, stroking his fangs, stared in astonishment at the Devouring Monster. He couldn't understand why it was so afraid of him.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I didn't lose anything anyway."

"But I don't think I'll ever need the Cell Coin!"

"Mmm..."

Lying on the ground, Akiko groaned and woke up, tears streaming down her face. She seemed to see something indistinct. Overwhelmed with grief and sorrow, Akiko gritted her teeth and said, "Being a Kamen Rider is so painful. Dad and Melissa are suffering so much. Why do so many people choose to become Kamen Riders?!"

"why?"

Akiko, who had straightened up, was puzzled to see the somewhat weak Devouring Monster and the scattered Cell Coins beside her. Fortunately, she saw Miku.

Akiko, taking small, quick steps away from the Devouring Monster, approached Miku and asked, "What's going on?"

"You were brought here by this...this...this guy. It looks like he's...collecting something."

Pointing to the incredibly weak yet still stubbornly clinging pterosaur-like monster, Miku said mockingly, "I don't know what this guy... what's going on in his head? He's so... so... scared of me!"

Upon hearing the sound of the pet's vocal collar around Miku's neck, the Devouring Monster looked at Miku in surprise and said, "You mean you haven't obtained that power yet?"

"Damn it, I actually fell for your trick!"

"I didn't...I didn't lie to you, it was all your own doing...you made...you made it all up. Also, I'm very curious, why are you so afraid of me!"

"Humph!"

The Devouring Monster snorted coldly and fell silent, but its heart was bleeding. If it had known that this guy hadn't grown up yet, why would it have wasted so many Cell Coins? Now its body was barely holding on!

"Finally finished!"

Clutching the green Gaia Memory, the Pterodactyl Devourer exclaimed with delight, "I finally have the intense battle memories of Kamen Rider!"

"Hahaha...."

The memory, having absorbed the light, shimmered with a green glow, echoed by a stream of green data erupting from the ground not far away.

"Whoosh..."

The sound of an unidentified object breaking through the air rang out, and three Core Medals, which were swirling together, passed through the body of the Devourer.

"How could this be..."

Staring in disbelief at the gaping hole in his chest, the Pteranodon-like monster dropped the memory core from its hand and exploded into a ball of flames. Cell coins clattered and scattered across the ground.

"This looks like exactly what I need!"

A deep sound emanated from the three Core Medals hovering in mid-air, and after gathering the Memory in the center, it uttered a low shout: "Henshin!"

The core coins were fused together, and the three coins, arranged in head, chest, and feet order, were imprinted on the memory.

When Miku saw this acre, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that coins and memory can be fused together!"

A hazy radiance floated in mid-air, expanding like an ever-increasing balloon until it finally formed a blazing flame.

Flames spread out, and a gigantic flame, eighteen meters tall...CG Knight burst through the seaside corridor and appeared before Miku and Akiko.

"What is this? I've never heard of it before!"

A panicked Akiko hid behind Miku, who patted her shoulder with a smile and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's just... just... a CG!"

Chapter 26: Miku: I got this thing, now my cheat code is sorted!

"Don't be afraid, he's just... just... a CG!"

The giant, engulfed in flames, had an appearance identical to that of a knight, but only his head and chest remained intact. He wore a belt resembling a driver at his waist. His limbs were connected and supported by surging flames.

Miku, who was gently comforting Akiko, looked at the enormous fire giant standing eighteen meters tall in front of him and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

The size difference is too great; what one attacks might be seen as a mosquito bite by the other.

"Why haven't Shotaro and the others arrived yet?!"

Miku, secretly anxious, shielded Akiko and slowly retreated, hoping that the other party wouldn't care about the two of them!

As Miku slowly retreated, the thing he least wanted to see happened: the creature crouched low and approached them. Its enormous eyes were filled with nothing but raging flames and an overwhelming, almost overflowing, malice!

"I am a warrior driven by a dark heart. The sorrow brought by becoming an alien transformed into the power of hatred, and thus, I was born!"

"I am—Kamen Rider Core!"

Core spoke as if making a vow, his eyes fixed on Miku and Akiko. Akiko looked at Core and said, "No, I don't want to hear it!"

I don't want to hear it!

"Why is there a Kamen Rider?!"

Akiko, her face contorted with pain, shouted in grief and indignation, while Miku, who was keeping a close eye on Core, was also distracted by Akiko.

"Damn it, why haven't those two bastards shown up yet?"
