The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"You're the one who got knocked silly!"

They all glanced at Hai Dong's Miku, who was impatiently kicking his hind legs. Why couldn't this guy snap out of it?

Do I need your apology? What I want is a proper apology!

asshole!

Having managed to navigate various worlds, Hai Dong was no pushover. He discerned the hidden meaning in Miku's words but deliberately pretended to be oblivious.

I stole that with my own skills, why would I give it to you?!

"You two!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Xiaoming patted Hai Dong on the shoulder and said, "Since he wants you to compensate him, just give him something, so he won't come back and beat you up with a brick!"

"I can trade something for it!"

With wide eyes, Miku spoke in a childish voice. Haidong Daiki tapped Miku's forehead and chuckled, "What do you have to trade with me?!"

"It's really embarrassing to get angry with a cat like you. I'll get you something later!"

Hai Dong felt an unexpected comfort as he stroked Miku's back. The silky smooth fur rubbed down Miku's spine, bringing an indescribable pleasure.

"Hey, Haidong, the expression on your face is a bit disgusting!"

Wang Xiaoming, who was standing with his arms crossed, noticed that Hai Dong's face was gradually filled with a silly grin, and he felt quite disgusted.

"Hey, Shi, why don't you try it? It's really comfortable!"

"It feels even more comfortable than silk!"

Hai Dong, who was sticking to Miku's body, grinned and invited Xiao Ming. Wang Xiaoming, who had his arms crossed and turned away, shook his head in disgust.

"Sigh, being too charming is a sin. Someone else has embarked on the path of cat obsession because of it. I really am a sinner!"

Seeing Hai Dong's silly grin, Miku sighed inwardly in annoyance, but didn't show it on his face.

When it comes to cuddling cats, there's only zero times or countless times. Hai Dong, who has picked up this "bad habit," will also be sinking under the feet of cats from today onwards.

"However, we also need to talk to them about serious matters!"

Miku gathered his scattered thoughts and, having nimbly run away from Haidong's grasp, looked at Haidong with a strange gleam in his eyes, saying, "Are you interested in the most precious treasure of this world: the Core Coin?"

Hai Dong, who had initially been somewhat disappointed by Miku's actions, suddenly became serious and said, "That depends on what kind it is!"

"I guarantee it's the best!"

.......

Inside the research institute, the greedy are imprisoned.

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to rescue me? How come you got arrested yourself?"

Duoqiao, having popped a peanut into his mouth, leaned against the wall and spoke to Aiqi with a disdainful expression.

Huddled in a corner of the cell, Ai-Chi straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and said with disdain, "A man's body is really inconvenient!"

"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Ignored by Aiqi, Duoqiao grabbed something from the table and threw it at Aiqi. Aiqi's eyes flashed with blue light, and a layer of water film appeared out of thin air in front of her, deflecting the thrown debris to the side. She then calmly said, "What's the rush? The fact that I've been captured means that everything is going according to plan!"

"That cat was very strong, but he was too confident in his own strength, and that was his biggest weakness!"

"Arrogance is the original sin!"

As Ai Zi spoke in a low voice, the blue light in his eyes mingled with silver, and laughter from both men and women echoed in the cell.

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan!"

As night fell, Miku returned to the Hongshang Foundation alone.

His long tail swaying behind him, his relaxed gait, and the little tune he was humming all indicated that he was in a very good mood.

"With the help of these two guys, my plan is practically foolproof!"

With a glint in his eyes, Miku went straight to Uncle Hongshang's temporary office. Inside, Uncle Hongshang was on the phone.

Miku, who was silently waiting for Uncle Hongshang to finish his phone call, only saw a worried look on Uncle Hongshang's face.

Why do you look so gloomy?

Miku, who had jumped onto the table, faced Uncle Hongshang. Uncle Hongshang said with a headache, "Dr. Maki said he won't be back for a while!"

"Those two are having an affair?"

Miku, who had moved closer to Uncle Hongshang, couldn't wait to ask. Uncle Hongshang replied, "Yes, he and the restaurant manager are planning to travel abroad for a while longer, and then they'll prepare for their wedding when they return to the country!"

"Roar roar roar..."

Miku, who was chuckling, knew that her plan had succeeded. Maki had been clamoring to bring the world to an end, and Miku was doing this while she was still charming and hadn't become ugly.

But now, deeply immersed in a world of tenderness, he not only had his inner desire for love fulfilled, but he was also smitten by Manager Shiraishi, and even kept the dinosaur-themed coin. This guy's ideal goal has become nothing but a bubble.

"Destroying a person's dream is far more pleasurable than killing a person!"

Miku, feeling smug, listened as Uncle Hong Shang continued, "Also, Hino Eiji and the others will be back a while later!"

"what?"

With wide eyes, Miku yelled, "Shouldn't they be back right away?"

"I'm having a real headache about this too!"

"What were their reasons for postponing their return date?"

Miku narrowed his eyes, and Uncle Hongshang opened and closed his mouth, uttering the most unbelievable news for Miku.

"Where in Kyoto has a monster that seems to devour everything?!"

Chapter 71: A single hair can affect the whole situation!

Why did the Devouring Monster appear in Kyoto?

"That's what I wanted to ask too!"

Uncle Hongshang said with great sorrow, "I think someone is setting a trap. Dr. Maki and OOO's departure was not accidental, but the result of someone's deliberate arrangement!"

"There's definitely someone plotting something in the shadows!"

Uncle Hongshang, with his fingers interlaced and his chin resting on his hands, looked thoughtful.

"Don't worry, don't worry, with me here, what trouble could possibly arise?"

Looking at Miku's confident, furry face, Uncle Hongshang said with satisfaction, "Then I'll leave everything to you!"

Miku himself felt something was off about these two things, and when he thought of the unease that had been weighing on his mind before, Miku narrowed his eyes.

"No matter who dares to cause trouble, I'll beat them to a pulp!"

In the dead of night, a nearly full moon casts a hazy moonlight, as if the entire city is shrouded in a veil of mist, giving it an unreal, dreamlike quality.

Within the city, tiny blue lights, like starlight, began to appear, twinkling as if they were alive. At the same time, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in every corner of the city.

“Buzzing…”

The canned gorilla swung its arms and jumped around on the table.

Miku, inside the cat's den, stretched out a tail and wrapped it inside, then flung out a pile of broken parts a moment later.

"Noisy!"

Miku, still grumbling in dissatisfaction, drifted off to sleep again, completely unaware of the importance of the canned gorilla's warning.

Once Miku falls asleep, he won't care about anything happening in the outside world unless he wakes up on his own.

Of all things under heaven, sleeping is the most important.

Don't you see, the guys who disturb Miku's sleep either get blown up, embedded in the wall, or get their faces smashed by the sun?

But not long after, hurried footsteps were heard outside the vault.

With a look of anxiety, Rin opened the vault door and dragged Miku out of the cat bed without caring about waking her.

Just as Rinaka was holding the cat in her arms, her body suddenly stiffened, and an indescribable chill rose up her spine.

Looking down, she saw Miku staring at her with displeasure, his eyes slightly open. A golden-red light shone from beneath his drooping eyelids, and wisps of sparks seeped from his pores as his fur moved without wind.

"Li Zhong, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll bake you into a cake!"

Miku rolled around in Richu's arms, its tail wrapping around Richu's long neck. Cold sweat beaded on Richu's forehead as it stammered, "It's... the guild master sent me to fetch you. He said a large number of Devouring Monsters have appeared in the city. Lilith and the motorcycle-selling team have already gone there, but there are too many of them, and we're short-handed. We can't possibly fight them off, so..."

Just then, the floor of the storage room opened, and a screen rose up from it. After the screen flickered, Uncle Hongshang's large face appeared inside.

"Something terrible has happened, Miku!"

"A large number of Devouring Monsters have appeared in the city. Lilith and the motorcycle-selling team are now in a tough fight. We need you to solve this problem!"

Upon seeing Uncle Hongshang, Miku stared intently at the screen for a moment, the golden-red light in his eyes not only not diminishing, but growing even brighter.

Feeling as if she were holding a furnace in her arms, and smelling the burning of her clothes, Miku jumped off her just as she thought she was about to be roasted alive.

"I understand, I'll handle it!"

As Miku slowly walked out of the vault, he left behind a series of charred plum blossom marks on the floor.

"They really don't let the cats have a moment's peace!"

Miku yawned with his mouth wide open and got into the elevator. When the elevator reached the first floor, the doors opened, but the inside was empty, with only large areas of charred marks.

Hongshang Biological Research Institute: A prison for the greedy.

The thief, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. His eyes gleamed with a mixture of silver and blue light, and he uttered a voice that was a mixture of male and female tones: "It's time!"

"What do you mean it's time?"

With its eyes slightly open, Duoqiao asked curiously, while Aiqi, after taking over the body, giggled and said, "Naturally, it's time to leave here!"

"Snatching the shovel, you haven't gotten addicted to being a mother hen here, have you?"

"Humph!"

Duoqiao, who gave Aiqi a cold snort, stood up, and a pure blue light shone in Aiqi's eyes.

After examining the fused Love Fin and Thief Horn within one body, Miku knew that these two had to maintain the balance of the core coin within their bodies, otherwise they would go berserk.
