The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"I had almost forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Let's sign a contract first!"

"You'll get it once you sign the contract!"

With a cunning glint in his emerald eyes, Miku gestured for Li Zhong to take out the pre-prepared contract and hand it to Anku.

The contract was nearly a hundred pages long. After flipping through it for a short while, Anku impatiently tossed it to Eiji to handle.

"This is your payment for the past few days."

After taking out two hundred cell coins from the container and handing them to Anku, Eiji had already signed the contract.

"Well, congratulations on joining our Hongshang Foundation. I have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer!"

Miku, who has daily pet grooming appointments, stepped out the door with a cat-like gait, his fur disheveled and desperately needing a hot bath.

"Um, Chairman Hong Shang, although it may be a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask about the dog tag that Miku is wearing around his neck. He caused a lot of trouble yesterday because of that dog tag!"

Yesterday's incident felt like a thorn stuck in Eiji's heart. Thinking of the guy wrapped up like a dumpling in the hospital bed, Eiji felt she had to get to the bottom of it.

"You mean that one?" Uncle Hongshang said with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. "That was a keepsake left to Miku by his pet. That pet was the most important family member to him, and also a way for him to remember his past."

"After the dog died, only the dog tag remained. To him, it was not only a memento of his family member but also a testament to their love!"

"That's why he..."

"That's right, everyone has something they can't touch in their heart, that's theirs. Eiji Hino, I suppose you have one too!"

Hearing Uncle Hongshang's words, Eiji recalled what had happened to him in the past and said with a look of sorrow, "Yes, I had it too!"

"Now that you know, get to work!"

"Come on!"

Uncle Hongshang, who was always prone to making a fuss, suddenly spoke up loudly. Anku glanced at the somewhat "noisy" uncle with displeasure, then turned and left in annoyance. Eiji and Hina said goodbye to Uncle Hongshang and hurriedly followed.

After tidying himself up, Miku gestured to Shintaro Goto, who had finally made an appearance, to head to the Kougami Biological Research Institute. Leaning on the soft seat in the back of the car, Miku had a black briefcase next to him.

Goto was still resentful about Miku's choice of Hina and his own weakness. The two, a human and a cat, arrived at the research institute without exchanging a word.

Miku, who knew the way well, arrived at Dr. Maki's room and gestured to Goto, who was carrying a suitcase, to open it. "I want an explanation, Dr. Maki!"

Upon seeing the new driver that he had secretly developed without Uncle Hongshang's knowledge, Dr. Maki's eyes revealed an expression of "I knew it."

"This Rider Driver is a product of my creation after the Birth System. OOO uses the Core Medal as its power source, Birth uses the Cell Medal as its power source, and this one is a Rider System created by combining the OOO and Birth Drivers."

"With the Core Medal as its core and the Cell Medal as its support, you've probably already witnessed the power its wearer can unleash!"

Miku scratched his ear and said dismissively, "That's right, I've already seen it. To me, it's just a toy. Your idea of ​​combining the power of two coins is good, but you've underestimated one thing, which is... it's too difficult to have the best of both worlds!"

"To put it bluntly, this thing is just a useless toy!"

Miku, who had been belittling Dr. Maki's new driver, noticed a hint of displeasure in Dr. Maki's eyes and continued, "Let's leave that aside for now. I'm here today to settle accounts with you!"

"Settle the accounts?"

"Yes, the person you chose to dress like this actually messed with my most precious treasure and insulted my deceased comrade. That's why I'm here to find you!"

"That was his personal action, and the guy who wasn't signed with the foundation was just a temporary worker. His actions have nothing to do with me!"

"Wow, you've really mastered the art of shifting blame!" Miku, who had jumped onto the table, confronted him directly and said unreasonably, "Then I'll be blunt: I'm here to mess with you!"

"Miku, can you please be reasonable?"

After uttering the most cowardly words in the most defiant tone, Dr. Maki protected the doll on his arm. Miku glanced sideways at the chilling doll, then flicked his tail and said maliciously, "No, I'm just that unreasonable, Dr. Maki!"

"Alright, now it's time to accept your punishment!"

Seeing the wicked grin on Miku's face, Dr. Maki's anus tightened.

........

"Yes, that's it!"

"Make sure you style that tuft of hair on his head neatly, and the props team pick out some clothes for me!"

Where is the stylist?

Standing on the platform, Miku kept shouting, "Where did the stylist go? Find him right now, he's waiting for us here!"

Dr. Maki, sitting in his chair, stared at his reflection in the mirror with a look of utter despair. He hadn't styled his hair in years, and today his carefully cultivated personal image was completely ruined!

"This hairstyle is barely acceptable. Let's take him to change his clothes!"

Miku, who was directing a bunch of people in the room, was greatly satisfied by the morbid pleasure in looking at the lifeless Dr. Maki. The best way to deal with someone like Dr. Maki was to humanely destroy him, but if this guy died, the research institute would be leaderless and completely become a decoration.

Without killing him, Miku chose to destroy his beliefs, his ideals, and his desires!

Dr. Maki's yearning for an end is essentially a manifestation of extreme lack of love. Unable to accept his beloved older sister's marriage, he chose to end everything, making that his goal.

Miku chose to destroy this belief of his, and the first step was to set him up on a blind date, with someone already in mind.

That's a shop manager who thinks of himself as a monster.

Blind dates are just the first step, marriage is the second, and having children is the third.

After completing the three steps, his belief that he wouldn't be destroyed by himself led him to rap while doing a handstand on a basketball!

"Destroying a person physically is the worst approach; the most skillful approach is to start from their heart and destroy them step by step!"

Looking at Dr. Maki, who was fully dressed, Miku studied him for a moment and said, "Perfect. Now, prepare for your real punishment!"

"The real punishment?"

Dr. Maki, whose left arm remained motionless while dragging the doll, felt a sudden panic when he saw the malicious expression on Miku's face.

"That's right!"

After circling around Dr. Maki once, Miku stopped in front of him and said, "Let's go on a blind date, Dr. Maki!"

Chapter 45: Dr. Maki's Love Plan, Miku's New Toy!

At the entrance of the multinational restaurant, Dr. Maki, dressed in a white suit and holding flowers, looked at the restaurant manager, Shiraishi, who resembled his sister, with a troubled expression. Miku's roar came through the miniature earpiece in his ear: "What are you still standing there for? Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"I can't do that!"

Dr. Maki spoke with trembling hands, his calves shaking. He only occasionally came here to eat, and seeing Manager Shiraishi was the most he could do.

"Come here, Little Mu Zi, look at me here!"

The voice in the earpiece made Dr. Maki turn around involuntarily, only to see Miku appear in his line of sight, with a cat paw pressing down on a doll that looked just like the one on his shoulder, its tail reaching forward and wrapping around the doll's frightening head, with a forceful pull.

"Click..."

The doll's head, which Miku had pinned under his claws, fell off with a thud. Upon seeing this, Dr. Maki shrank back, his face filled with uncontrollable terror.

"Isn't it fun?"

Listening to Miku's gleeful words, Dr. Maki muttered to himself, "A demon, this guy is a demon!"

"Give me the rest!"

After turning to Goto and speaking, Miku pressed down on another doll, just like the one on Dr. Maki's shoulder, right in front of him.

"Stop! Stop!"

Dr. Maki, who reached out to try to stop Miku, watched helplessly as Miku cruelly dismembered the doll under his claws.

"What kind of cat is this?!"

"He's a demon!"

Dr. Maki, his heart filled with anguish, took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant with a heavy heart.

"Welcome..."

Upon seeing a customer enter, Manager Shiraishi instinctively went to greet the customer, but after recognizing Dr. Maki, his smile froze, and he said awkwardly, "Guest, where would you like to sit?"

"Whatever, whatever!"

Like Manager Shiraishi, Dr. Maki, with an unnatural smile on his face, spoke stiffly.

Miku, who was monitoring everything from outside, smiled and said, "This guy's finally got what he deserves!"

"I don't understand why you're treating Dr. Maki this way."

Goto watched Dr. Maki, who was sitting on the screen, looking extremely uneasy. Dr. Maki in the shop was the epitome of restlessness.

Do you know what the most thorough way to destroy a person is?

"Kill him?"

Making a slashing gesture, Goto tentatively spoke. Miku shook his head, staring at Dr. Maki on the screen, and said, "It's about destroying his beliefs, ideals, perseverance, and desires!"

"Completely destroyed, not even a trace remains!"

"But will this method even work?"

Goto, who didn't have a good impression of Dr. Maki, hesitated before speaking: "Judging from his appearance, he's probably so disliked that people want to kick him out of the shop!"

"Goto, have you ever been in a relationship?"

"No, it's too much trouble." Goto said with a look of disgust, "Being in a relationship not only means being by your girlfriend's side, but also buying her gifts, clothes, and everything she wants. Not to mention, women are simply a collection of troublesome creatures. I plan to stay single until world peace!"

Miku glanced at Goto with surprise and teased, "It's normal that you don't understand how those two get along!"

"Spare the rod and spoil the child; when love runs deep, kick them!"

"What if Dr. Maki gets kicked to death?"

“I took out a huge insurance policy for him!” Miku said mischievously, winking at Goto.

As Dr. Maki looked at the busy shopkeeper Shiraishi, a hint of nostalgia unconsciously crept into his eyes.

He rested his chin on his elbow on the table, with flowers placed to one side, and his right arm steadily supporting a doll.

"Here we go again, that groping stare!"

Upon noticing Dr. Maki's gaze, Shiraishi, the shopkeeper, broke out in goosebumps.

"What's wrong with this person? That disgusting gaze is really unbearable!"

"How about we close for the day?"

Dr. Maki, unaware that his mere gaze was causing the other person to consider closing down their business, continued to stare at them.
