The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Watching Eiji being led further and further away by the Devouring Monster with worry, Hina tossed a coin into her waistband and turned the knob on her waistband half a turn, causing the coin's emblem to emit a yellow light.

"Cutter Wing!"

A pair of silver-gray steel wings quickly appeared behind Hina, and with a stomp of her right foot on the ground, Hina instantly soared into the sky, chasing after the parrot-eating monster.

On the other side, Lilith, frustrated by the traffic jam, was honking her horn, but there had been an accident ahead, and the road was temporarily closed.

You want to turn the car around, but there are cars waiting to pass both in front and behind you.

"I told you, the sooner you turn around, the sooner you turn around! Look, it's blocked now!"

Miku, who was lying on the back seat, spoke to Lilith with disdain. Lilith, who was usually shrewd and capable, had never encountered such a situation before.

She slammed her hand on the steering wheel and yelled angrily, "Fu*k!"

Ignoring the female driver who had developed road rage, Miku casually looked out of the car and saw a brightly colored figure carrying an older man and dragging a young man along its lap as it sped through the air.

"Damn, Eiji's really into it, he's actually flying through the air carrying the Devouring Monster!"

"I've never seen anyone this stupid except for Akiko!"

Miku's mocking smile froze. "Damn it, what's this idiot doing?!"

Miku nimbly jumped out of the car after lowering the window. In the slowly moving traffic, Miku looked up at the Devouring Monster in the sky and jumped from car to car.

"I'm going to deduct his salary, I absolutely have to deduct his salary!"

With gritted teeth, Miku stomped on the roof of his car as he reached the end of the traffic. A green aura emanated from him, and he instantly transformed into a monster, leaving afterimages in the air before disappearing.

Eiji is now an indispensable part of Miku's plan; he can't afford to get hurt. As a man who will be chosen by the Dinosaur-type coin later in the game, he's Miku's trump card to save the day.

You can't get hurt!

"If something happens to you, my plan is ruined!"

Chapter Sixty: Anku = Eunuch?!

"This guy doesn't seem stupid at all!"

"Why did they pull this on me at this time?!"

Miku, leaving trails of afterimages in the air, followed closely behind Eiji, who was clinging to the Devouring Monster's leg and enjoying the breeze in the sky. Hina's steel wings unfolded behind her as she followed.

Normally, Miku would have calmly shot down the scruffy bird flying in the sky with a single, powerful fireball. But now, it was not only carrying a burly man with a buzz cut, but also dragging Eiji along on its lap.

If they act rashly, the two of them will be roasted along with the Devouring Monster.

"Damn it, don't you dare land! If you do, I'll roast you into a chicken!"

Miku, secretly seething with rage, saw his opponent arrive at a coastline on the edge of the city and land in a nearby warehouse district.

"We're finally down!"

Miku's eyes lit up as he watched the parrot-like monster land, and Bina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's rescue Eiji, this idiot, first, and then deal with this scruffy bird!"

"Waaaaah...."

Eiji cried out in pain as the parrot-like monster kicked him away. Ignoring the pain, he quickly rolled over and got up, keeping a wary eye on the monster while waiting for Hina to arrive.

"It's so inconvenient that Anku isn't around, and who created this Devouring Monster?!"

"Anku?"

Eiji stared intently at the Devouring Monster, his only thoughts being to save the man chosen as the Mother and to find out who could create the bird-type Devouring Monster.

The relationship between Ankh and Eiji has always been a strange one; they are partners, yet they are also adversaries.

However, during their time together, a different kind of feeling developed between them.

"You've finally landed!"

Just as Eiji was pondering his own little scheme, Miku suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Don't pull this kind of trick on me again. If I hadn't been lucky enough to catch you this time, do you know what would have happened?!"

Miku flicked his finger at Eiji's forehead and snorted, then turned his gaze to the parrot-like Devouring Monster.

"Next up is you, little guy, you can fly pretty fast, huh!?"

"I'll pluck your feathers and break your wings right now, let's see if you can still fly!?"

The parrot-like monster, having settled itself in its mother's body, snorted coldly at Miku.

"Eliminate all the troublemakers!"

The parrot-like monster with a bird's beak on its forehead opened its mouth and spat out a series of fireballs. Facing the fireballs that were shooting towards it in a straight line, it waved its right hand repeatedly, as if swatting flies, and deflected all the fireballs to the side.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The fireballs that Miku swatted away landed on the ground and exploded, leaving the ground cratered and uneven.

"Is that all you've got?"

Miku chuckled disdainfully, rubbing the fangs on his chin. "The bird-type Devouring Monster doesn't seem so impressive after all!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the parrot-like monster opened its mouth again, and a raging pillar of fire burst forth from its mouth.

The raging fire was forcibly condensed into a single beam, and a wave of intense heat swept in along with it. Under this extreme heat, even the air itself seemed to distort.

Just as the raging pillar of fire reached Miku, his hunched back suddenly vanished from his spot. The parrot-like monster, seeing that its attack had lost its target, closed its mouth and opened its eyes wide, searching for Miku's figure everywhere.

"too slow!"

A faint voice came from behind the Devouring Monster. Startled, the Devouring Monster hurriedly turned around to fight, but it couldn't see any trace of the other party.

"That's why I said you're too slow!"

Miku's voice rang out again from behind the Devouring Monster, but this time, the Devouring Monster, which wanted to turn around and wait for its turn, was horrified to find that its wings were being held tightly by Miku.

"If I said I'd pluck your feathers and break your wings, I'd definitely mean it!"

Mikusen coldly opened his mouth, grabbing the wings on the back of the Devouring Monster with both hands. At the same time, he stretched out his leg and kicked the Devouring Monster hard in the waist.

"Wow..."

The Devouring Monster, which let out a strange cry from its throat, had its wings ripped off by Miku, and Cell Coins rained down from the wound.

"cut!"

Upon realizing that the wings he had torn off had also disintegrated into coins, Miku casually tossed the cell coins in his hand onto the ground.

"asshole!"

The Devouring Monster, its wings torn off, stared at Miku in terror. Miku, shrugging helplessly, said, "I hate you scruffy birds the most, you know that?"

"Next, we'll pluck out each and every hair from your body!"

When Mikusen's cold gaze fell on the Devouring Monster, the parrot-like Devouring Monster instinctively hugged itself tightly.

"This guy is serious, he really is going to pluck all my feathers off!"

The parrot-like monster, which was screaming wildly in its heart, was already considering retreating and planned to abandon its mother and escape to save itself. But then a figure jumped down in front of it.

"Wait, you can't defeat it yet!"

Anku suddenly appeared and shouted at Miku, touching the golden fangs on his mask. Miku scoffed and said, "Why should I listen to you!"

"I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened at school last time, and now you dare to jump out here and cause trouble!"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Ankh, who was protecting the Parrot Devourer behind him, looked extremely grim, but still forced himself to speak: "This guy is the most important clue to finding my Core Medal, how can I let you defeat it like this!"

"Eiji, transform!"

Ankh, who squeezed out three Core Medals from his right palm, tossed them to Eiji, and Miku didn't seem to care about his actions.

"My tolerance has its limits. You keep testing my limits. Are you really so sure I won't hurt you?"

Miku, his claws rubbing together, walked step by step toward Ankh. Eiji, holding three Core Medals, looked at the two facing off with a conflicted expression. He kept glancing back and forth between the two and finally fixed his gaze on the parrot-like monster.

"Click, click, click!"

Eiji, having inserted three coins into his waist-mounted driver, swiped the O-scanner across his waist and uttered a low shout:

"Transform!"

"Taka, Tora, Bata!"

"Big mop, big mop, big mop!"

The inexplicable brainwashing driver's chanting made Miku turn his head to look. Anku's eyes lit up with joy at the sight, but that joy quickly turned into astonishment, confusion, and anger.

"Die!"

With a kick that shattered the unsuspecting Devouring Monster, Eiji deactivated his transformation and stood in front of Ankh, speaking to Miku:

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Miku!"

When Miku saw that Eiji had chosen to defeat the Devouring Monster, he was initially taken aback, but then he quickly realized what was going on and laughed, "Not bad!"

"Do you know what you've done, Eiji?!"

Ankh, grabbing Eiji by the collar, scolded, "This is a clue I'm using to find my Core Medallion!"

"Since the guy who created the bird-type Devourer was able to create one, he'll likely create a second one. When that happens, I'll get your Core Medal back for you!"

"I want you to promise me!"

Completely unconcerned that Ankh was grabbing his collar, Eiji made a solemn promise to Ankh.

Seeing the young couple arguing, Miku scoffed and said, "Anku, you want to retrieve your Core Medal, then restore your body and be fully resurrected. In my opinion, that won't work, because as far as I know, your body still exists!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the information revealed by Miku, Ankhsho opened Eiji's question with suspicion.

"Apart from the few you possess, all your other Core Coins are inside your body, and there is no possibility that anyone else possesses them!"
