The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Idiot, give the flowers to the person!"

Miku timely reminded Dr. Maki, who was suddenly awakened and somewhat dazed, picked up the flowers and came to Manager Shiraishi.

"Um... um... um, these flowers are for you!"

After handing the bouquet to Manager Shiraishi, the man was slightly surprised.

"Thank you so much!"

Holding the bouquet, a somewhat bewildered shopkeeper, Shiraishi, accepted the bouquet from Dr. Maki. Seeing this, Miku smiled and exclaimed, "First step successful!"

What will you do if it doesn't work?

Looking at the two people on the screen, Goto asked curiously. Miku glanced at Goto and said, "Of course they were drugged. Once it's too late, do you think these two can resist?"

"That's so despicable!"

"mean?"

"Young man, you probably don't know what love between a man and a woman is. When you already have a child, I don't believe that the two of you can stay together like this."

"Men only understand what maturity is after they shoulder responsibilities!"

"what?"

Looking at Miku's weathered face, Goto asked directly, "Do you have any experience in this area?"

“No!” Miku said confidently, glancing at him sideways. “Can’t I read it in a book?”

"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you're stupid, you should read more books!"

"I'm going back now. You continue the surveillance!"

"Remember to provide off-field support if necessary!"

Miku, with her tail curled up over a suitcase, jumped out of the support vehicle and swayed leisurely with her cat-like steps, disappearing from Goto's sight.

"What a weirdo!"

After glancing at the screen and noticing the stalemate between Dr. Maki and Manager Shiraishi, he immediately put on his headset and said, "Hurry up and say something, Dr. Maki!"

After returning directly to the foundation's headquarters building, Miku discovered that no one was in the office today.

"This is a note from Uncle Hongshang?!"

"Went on a trip to Europe?" After reading the contents of the note, Miku pouted and said, "It's good that you left. Now that you're gone, no one can control me!"

"I can do whatever I want, and who can stop me?"

As Miku squatted on the table, he revealed that the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire city, and while he had a clear view of everything, he was also thinking about his next plan.

"Let's take it one step at a time for now. Before that, we need to see what kind of knight system Dr. Maki has come up with!"

Since the driver came into Miku's possession, Miku hadn't even given it a second glance. Now, he was examining the new driver with the mindset of acquiring a new toy.

Upon opening the briefcase, Miku stared intently inside and found a driver he had never seen before.

"I have no recollection of this driver at all. Could it be that my influence prompted Maki to create it?"

Although Miku belittled the Knight System to the point of worthlessness, the system does have its unique advantages!

The Rider Driver looks like an upside-down serving plate with six circular grooves for inserting coins, forming a rotating disc. Below the disc is another groove similar to the one on the Three Egg Driver for inserting coins.

"Using the Core Medal and Cell Medal for transformation battles? That sounds interesting!"

"But to me, it's really just a toy!"

Miku, who was pawing at the disc, found it surprisingly engaging as it spun. "Hey, this thing's interesting!"

"In my past life, I wanted to get a set of model toys, but I didn't succeed. I never thought that in this life I would get a set of model toys that can actually transform!"

"This is the cruel trick of saponification!"

Miku took a step back and accidentally fell onto the table. He instantly hooked onto the drawer pull ring and successfully climbed up. He curiously peeked into the drawer that he had opened a crack.

"Uncle Hongshang, what good stuff are you hiding?!"

Miku's face lit up with a sly grin as he opened the drawer, but his expression froze the moment he saw what was inside.

"This is..."

Chapter 46: Let's start doing this today!

Upon seeing the photo frame in the drawer, Miku's small eyes widened, his hairy face filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, no wonder Uncle Hongshang dotes on me so much!"

Miku closed the drawer, feeling a mix of emotions. He recalled how Uncle Hongshang had treated him, and the Time-Space Demon Machine that had suddenly disappeared from the research institute.

I had a vague answer in my mind.

"Hey, I didn't realize you'd been watching me all this time!"

..........

Europe, Hongshang Foundation branch.

Uncle Hongshang took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened the watch cover, and looked at the photo inside the pocket watch.

"I was so young back then, but you're the young one now!"

"Miku!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A gentle knock sounded at the door, and Uncle Hongshang, having put away his pocket watch, called out loudly, "Come in!"

"President, everything is ready!"

A tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman walked into Uncle Hong's office and spoke confidently from the doorway.

"If everything is ready, let's go take a look!"

Uncle Hong Shang rose from his chair and went to the door. He straightened the woman's collar and said, "Now that this matter is settled, you can come back to work with me at the Japanese headquarters. Leave the European branch to Zoroya!"

"Yes!"

The blonde beauty, her eyes fixed straight ahead, puffed out her chest and replied, "Then let's go!" Uncle Hong Shang, beaming, followed the blonde beauty out of the office.

......

At the multinational restaurant, manager Shiraishi sat at the counter, staring blankly at a bouquet of flowers on the table.

"That cat is just playing us for a fool. It said there were two missing core coins, but we've searched all over town today and haven't seen a single one!"

Ankur, full of complaints, grumbled as he walked into the store. Eiji followed behind, comforting him, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. If Miku said it exists, it can't be baseless!"

"Let's go out and look again!"

Eiji patted Ankh on the shoulder and followed him into the restaurant. Ankh pursed his lips and said nothing more. Hina, carrying a suitcase, watched the two of them helplessly.

"Manager, what happened today?"

Why do you seem a little distracted?

Hina, who had placed the box at her feet, was the first to notice that something was wrong with Manager Shiraishi. Manager Shiraishi glanced at the bouquet beside her and sighed, "Hina, I think I'm being bothered by a strange man!"

"what?"

Hina, tilting her head slightly, asked with concern, "What happened, manager?"

"It's that man who had the strange doll on his arm before. He came to the store again today and even gave me a bouquet of flowers. I have a feeling he's not a decent person!"

The shop manager, Shiraishi, resting his chin on his hand, gestured for Hina to look at the bouquet on the table. Hina picked it up, examined it closely, and comforted him, "Manager, don't overthink it. Maybe they just came to apologize to you!"

"But the look in his eyes really gave me goosebumps!"

Hugging herself tightly, Manager Shiraishi complained, "You have no idea, that guy stares at me every time he comes in. I feel so uncomfortable being stared at like that!"

"Well, doesn't this just prove that you, store manager, are still as charming as ever and as captivating as ever?"

Hina, with her arm around Manager Shiraishi's shoulder, smiled and comforted him. Manager Shiraishi patted Hina's hand and said, "Hina is the most considerate of all!"

"what!"

Eiji's startled cry drew everyone's attention. Anku said irritably, "Did you catch that Hongshang guy's habit? You're so jumpy!"

"I just remembered something very important!"

"Come with me for a moment!"

Eiji, who had led Ankula outside, glanced into the shop and noticed Manager Shiraishi and Hina looking over curiously. He smiled apologetically and asked somewhat worriedly, "Do you remember that gluttonous monster that Miku beat up yesterday?"

"I remember, so what?"

"When that mysterious knight suddenly appeared and attacked Miku, and Miku turned his spear on that guy, did the Devouring Monster take the opportunity to escape?"

"Tsk!" Anku clicked his tongue in annoyance and slapped away Eiji's hand that was grabbing him, saying, "I thought you were going to say something, but it's just this."

"However, I almost forgot about this guy if you hadn't mentioned him. Judging by the time, he's probably matured by now."

"Let's go, Eiji, let's do some pre-dinner exercise!"

Looking at the already darkening sky, Anku carefully sensed the aura of the Devouring Monster. Soon after, the clinking sound of the coin being produced echoed in his ears.

"Found it, let's go!"

Ankh, pulling Eiji along, walked outside. Seeing the two leave in a hurry, Hina realized something was wrong. After apologizing to Manager Shiraishi, she picked up the briefcase containing the Birth Driver and chased after them.

After several days of training in the village, Hina has made great progress compared to before. At least she no longer deals with the enemy in a dull and clueless way like she did the first time!

Hina found a motorcycle for sale on the street, inserted a cell coin, took off his helmet from the fuel tank, got on the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and chased after the two who had already run far away.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The canned gorilla waved its two tiny arms and let out a series of urgent roars at Miku.

"A Devouring Monster has appeared!"

Miku, who had pinned the canned gorilla down with one paw, glanced at Driver beside him, stretched, and said, "Let's go join the fun!"

"Let's play with the toys while we're at it!"

Having tracked down the Devouring Monster, Eiji and Ankh engaged in battle with it. The mature Devouring Monster resembled a rhinoceros beetle that walked upright.
