The Strange Cat from Fuuto

While inwardly roaring with rage, Miku applauded the old man and sized up Wang Xiaoming. Just like in the original series, his face radiated an inexplicable confidence as he looked down on everything. Even Miku, now possessing Extreme power, was not taken seriously by him.

Wang Xiaoming, holding the camera to his chest with both hands and pressing the shutter to take a picture of Miku, said to Miku: "No need to be so wary. Although I don't know if that guy has met you, with that guy's favor and the friendship between our two families, I won't make a move against you!"

"Then what exactly are you here for?"

Miku, with its tail twitching slightly, stared intently at his face, trying to find the slightest clue.

To the cat's dismay, the guy had a faint smile on his face the whole time, without showing any extra expression.

"Stop testing me. There are some things you can't know right now."

After taking out the photos from the camera, Wang Xiaoming glanced at the contents of the photos and then looked intently at Miku.

What are your plans next?

"I just want to keep the situation under control and avoid too many unexpected events." Miku spoke earnestly, continuing to observe Wang Xiaoming. Xiaoming, with a smile on his lips, squatted down and patted Miku's head, saying, "Good idea, but man proposes, God disposes. I think you understand this better than I do."

"Unexpected events are always happening in this world, and no one can say that they can control everything!"

"Goodbye, little kitty!"

After handing the photo to Miku, Wang Xiaoming put his left hand in his pocket, turned his back to Miku, and raised his right hand. A hazy dimensional wall swallowed him up.

"That's really strong!"

Miku, who yearned for Wang Xiaoming's power, also strengthened his resolve to become stronger, to keep becoming stronger, and then to see all kinds of scenery.

"One day, I'll be just as strong!"

A seed began to sprout in Miku's heart. When he looked down at the photo that Xiaoming had taken of him, a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have had any expectations of him at all. What kind of dog photo is this?!"

Chapter 41: No one can escape the "it's actually good" law, and you, Anku, are no exception!

Despite his disdain for the photo, Miku eventually carried it back to the foundation's headquarters.

In the chairman's office, Uncle Hong Shang, who was reminiscing about the past while looking at a photo in a frame, suddenly saw Miku carrying a photo in his mouth. He hurriedly put the frame back and, pretending to be nonchalant, straightened his suit and smiled at Miku, "Oh, you're back so early!"

"I just came back to put my things away!"

Miku, clutching the photo in his mouth, mumbled incoherently before jumping onto the table and letting the photo fall to the floor. Even now, looking at this photo is incredibly cringe-worthy. Miku's appearance in the photo is blurry and distorted, and the overall colors are chaotic. The most striking feature is the indistinct figure behind Miku, who is squatting on the ground; upon closer inspection, it is indistinct.

"Where did you get these photos? They look really interesting!"

"A guy who was passing by gave it to me. By the way, what are you doing? Something's not right with you!"

"No way, I'm perfectly normal!" Uncle Hongshang hurriedly denied with his signature smile on his face. Miku, swishing his tail, scratched his ear and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, never mind you. You're always so mysterious!"

I'm going out!

Miku's return to the outside world made Uncle Hongshang breathe a long sigh of relief; he had almost discovered the matter of the photo frame.

There are some things I can't let you know right now!

After leaving home, Miku arrived at the multinational restaurant without any trouble. It was almost noon, but there were hardly any customers inside. Or rather, no customers had arrived yet.

"Oh, you're that cat from last time!"

Upon recognizing Miku, Shopkeeper Shiraishi took a few steps back in fear. Miku, yawning, looked around lazily and said, "I'm not a monster, don't look at me like that!"

"Besides, if I were to eat people, I wouldn't lay a hand on an old, faded woman like you."

"It doesn't look appetizing at all!"

Miku, who couldn't utter a single kind word, looked at Manager Shiraishi, whose face quickly turned a deep purplish-red, and smiled like a cat that had just stolen some fish.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Where are Eiji and Anku?"

"They're upstairs."

The shop manager, Shiraishi, who had spoken irritably, unconsciously felt her fear of him lessen a bit, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by old and faded? She's not even forty yet."

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Chiyoko Shiraishi nodded in satisfaction. "Still quite youthful, that cat has no taste!"

Miku, smelling Eiji and Anko's scent, glanced at the vain Shiraishi Chiyoko and thought to herself, "What would happen if I paired her up with that bastard Maki?"

Miku, who was harboring wicked thoughts, had just arrived at the door of the attic room when he heard Anku's imperious voice. With a sneer, he pushed open the door and saw two naked men pulling at each other.

As the saying goes, "Charging forward against men, burly men all over, men on top of men..."

In an instant, all sorts of philosophical words popped into Miku's mind.

"Why do I have to wear such ugly underwear?!"

“Anku, what do you know? This is the most fashionable thing to me.”

"Look at the pattern, look at the material, what's wrong with it!"

"You idiot, what's so great about that? No normal person would carry their underwear in their pocket all day and wander around the streets like that!"

The two, arguing over underwear, didn't notice Miku entering until he coughed, drawing their attention.

What are you doing here?

Anku, who was naked, spoke to Miku in an annoyed tone. Miku, who turned her head away, said, "Can you put your clothes on before talking to me? I may be a cat, but I have absolutely no interest in naked men!"

"cut..."

Anku clicked his tongue, realizing his mistake, and glared at Eiji. It was all because of this guy suddenly pulling up his underwear; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way.

After the two of them got dressed, Miku jumped onto the table and got straight to the point: "I'm here to invite you two to join the Hongshang Foundation!"

"what?"

Anku tossed his head and said in confusion, "You want us to work for you? Don't even think about it!"

"If that bastard hadn't been in control of all the coin devices, do you think I would have given you the Cell Coin?"

Looking at the bristling Anku, Miku said nonchalantly, "One thing at a time. It's only right that you pay for the equipment we, the Hongshang Foundation, use. You should know that the Hongshang Foundation has put in a lot of effort to develop the coin device. The manpower and resources we've invested are beyond your imagination."

"Who cares about you!"

Anku turned his head away, no longer looking at Miku. If he could beat this cat, Anku would have plucked all its fur off, one by one.

"Ah!"

Miku sneered and ignored Anku, instead turning to Eiji and saying, "What are your thoughts, Eiji!"

"My opinion on this matter is the same as Anku's. With your off-field support, we have enough. I have no plans to join the Hongshang Foundation for the time being."

"I'm sorry, Miku!"

With his hands clasped together in apology to Miku, Eiji smiled and looked at him intently for a moment before asking, "So that's what you're thinking? If Anku changes his mind, will you join our foundation?"

"this..."

Seeing the look in Ankh's eyes, Eiji nodded and said, "If Ankh agrees, I agree too."

"You really are a man without any desires, Eiji!"

Eiji himself had no desires, or rather, his desires were practically zero. This is why he was chosen by the Dinosaur Core Medal.

"Then, could you give Anku and me some space to be alone?"

Miku tilted his head and made a childish sound. Anku smiled shyly and left the room.

What do you want to do?

With a flip, he jumped onto his favorite sofa, and Anku, his body ablaze with red, looked down at him and said, "No matter what you say, I will not agree!"

"What if I said that if you and Eiji don't join, I'll kick him out of the game?!"

"Are you kidding me?" Anku jumped off the sofa and grabbed Miku's fur, saying, "Eiji is my tool for collecting coins. If you dare to do anything to him..."

What can you do to me?

Miku flicked his tail, swatting away Anku's hand, and said without any politeness, "Now that you've only revived a severed arm, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"

"I'm already being polite to you by speaking to you in a respectful manner."

"Besides, other greedy individuals who haven't fully resurrected can be considered tigers with their teeth pulled, but what about you?"

"Joining is impossible! Even if you beat me to death, I starve to death without Cell Coins, or I jump off this building, I will never agree!"

Ankur, who was very firm, said that none of this was negotiable.

"You get fifty cell coins as your daily wage!"

"Hmph, I can still get the Cell Coin by defeating the Devourer!"

Anku, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, spoke irritably. Miku continued, "I can prepare all sorts of advanced electronic devices for you!"

"Those things don't matter whether we have them or not!"

“I know a clue about your core coin.”

"I'm not a child, you can't just say it's there and then it's there."

"If you're so capable, then show it to me!"

"I'll give you an ice cream company!"

"make a deal!"

Anku, who readily agreed, turned around, his ferocious red finger pointing at Miku's nose, and said, "You can't miss a single one of them, whether it's the Cell Medal, the electronic devices, the Core Medal, or even the ice cream, you can't miss any of them!"

"make a deal!"

Miku and Anku's outstretched claws touched, and both looked at each other as if they were mentally challenged.

"Hmph, joining the Hongshang Foundation is just a temporary measure. I'll see if there's any profit to be made first, and if not, I'll leave. In any case, it's beneficial to me!"

"What an idiot! I thought it would take a lot of effort, but he succeeded so easily. Is this guy really a greedy person?"

The bird and the cat, each harboring their own secret thoughts, looked at each other and laughed happily!

"Even though you've made a profit, I'll never lose out!"
