The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"This is a huge project!"

"Take your time!"

After retrieving his memories of the TV series "Four-Zai", Miku lay in a corner of the library, a large book spread out, his eyes fixed on the entire plot of "Four-Zai".

But just as Miku was engrossed in watching the show in his mind, the inevitable happened in the outside world.

Miku, who had been lying paralyzed inside the box for more than a day and a night, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and slowly moved his body.

"I've roughly finished understanding the plot. I didn't expect this little girl to be so interesting. Looks like I can play a raising simulation game!"

The cat, with a slight smile on its lips, emanated a hexagonal halo. Before the hunched beast could make a move, the small box that had been with it for several days was reduced to pieces of old cardboard.

"Forehead....."

"Forget it, if this works out, I won't have to sleep in this anymore!"

Miku scratched the back of his head and took a few steps before turning back and stuffing the dog plush toy into his arms.

........

Stadium, entrance passage.

"Miura, don't do anything foolish!"

"Throw that switch away!"

Gentaro warned Miura, who was holding the switch, and Miura gave a sly smile before slowly asking, "Why?"

"Why give up such a captivating power?"

"With this, I can not only replace this muscle-bound idiot, but also get everything I want!"

Lost in thought, Miura stared at the switch in his hand, only to hear a low, chilling ringing sound emanating from it.

"Last One!"

The vibrating switch was enveloped in a black light, and when the light dissipated, the switch was completely different from before.

The black parts not only have complex patterns but also many sharp spikes, while the white button parts resemble jade stained with blood.

"This is it!"

As Miura abruptly pressed the switch, he was instantly enveloped in black mist. Amidst the twinkling of seven stars, his body, which had been wrapped in an unknown filamentous substance, collapsed.

"what!"

With a shield in his left hand and a spiked club in his right, Orion's massive body smashed through the ceiling of the passage. Miura, who was looking down, noticed the fear on Oomonji Hayabusa's face and said with a hint of ecstasy, "This is what it feels like to be full of power!"

"Next, I'm going to smash you into mincemeat, piece by piece!"

Miura's cold words, spoken as he crouched down, rang in Oomonji Hayato's ears. As if he had been licked by a venomous snake, Oomonji Hayato looked at the strange man in front of him in fear!

"Oh ho, looks like I've arrived just in time!"

Using his senses of the Devouring Monster he had raised, Miku arrived at the stadium. The cat, having reverted to its original form, peeked out and saw the scene before it.

"As expected, he was driven mad by his desires!"

As Miku examined his masterpiece, he narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, why is my Devouring Monster reaction appearing on this big guy? Shouldn't it be inside his body?"

"Gentaro, transform quickly! I'll devise a plan and direct you!"

After Kengo shoved the Fourze Drive into Gentaro's arms, he placed his own portable laptop in front of him.

"Haha, he's definitely the man I've set my sights on!"

Gentaro nearly knocked Kengo to the ground with a forceful pat on the shoulder. "Don't call me by my name so casually, and you're way too strong!" Kengo said, somewhat annoyed, half-squatting on the ground and pointing the hamburger detector at Orion.

"This guy's energy level was going to rise even more than before!?"

Surprised to discover that Orion could react differently than usual, Kengo revealed a curious and inquisitive expression.

"Click, hiss..."

After fastening the driver to his waist, Gentaro grinned at Orion and said, "I'm going to go!"

"Transform!"

In the vast white fog, the horseman with the airplane head makes his appearance.

"The universe has arrived!"

With that shout, Gentaro rushed to Orion and began to fight him.

"The time has come!"

Miku, who had transformed silently, quietly approached Yuuki Joshima from behind, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and gently punching him in the lower abdomen with the other.

The girl, unaware of what had happened, closed her eyes and fainted in Miku's arms.

Even the gothic girl, Nozama Yuko, didn't notice Miku's actions. Miku, who quickly kidnapped Yuuki, finally stopped in an empty stand in the stadium.

"Let me see if you can give me a surprise!"

After removing a cell coin from his body, Yuuki Joshima's forehead indeed revealed a deep coin slot.

"Let me unleash your desires!"

With a flick of the finger, the coin fell into the hole.

"Well...."

The girl's face contorted for a moment after her eyes were tightly closed, then she suddenly opened them.

"Looks like it worked!"

...........

"Take this, Cosmic Drill Rocket Kick!"

Gentaro, standing in Earth's atmosphere, shouted out the somewhat embarrassing name of his technique as the drill on his right leg shattered the opponent's hard armor.

"boom!"

Gentaro scooped up the Orion switch, which had transformed into a dazzling firework.

"That's all!"

Back at the stadium, Gentaro, who hadn't yet deactivated his transformation, saw Yuuki holding a blue-gray cat with gold stripes, but worried about Miura, he didn't think much of it.

"Crack!"

As Gentaro turned off the switch, a crackling sound of current overload came from the switch, and the heavy black energy dissipated completely.

What is this?

"Will there still be coins after the switch is turned off?"

Gentaro held a coin with a star pattern between his thumb and forefinger and asked curiously.

Kengo took the coin, puzzled. He had never heard of such a thing before.

But the cat in Yuuki's arms shifted restlessly, a glint of light flashing in its golden eyes!

Chapter 4: Today I'll be the mascot of the Kamen Rider... club!

"What exactly is this coin?!"

Gentaro, with one hand in his pocket and a coin twirling between his fingers, looked nonchalant. Kengo walked alongside him, frowned, glanced at the coin in Gentaro's hand, and said, "Whatever it is, let's take it to the rabbit hole and test it first!"

"Maybe it's a special souvenir from after defeating Zodiarts?"

Yuuki, holding a cat in her arms, skipped and hopped behind the two, her eyes shining as she looked at the coin in Gentaro's hand.

"Star Apprentices won't leave you any souvenirs!"

Kengo rolled his eyes at Yuuki, opened the door to the abandoned clubroom, and went through the lockers to the base on the moon.

"Speaking of which, where did that cat come from?"

"Ah, you mean Miku?"

Yuuki, who was holding Miku, grabbed one of Miku's paws and waved it at Kengo and Gentaro, saying, "I think the stray cat at school is cute, so I'm planning to adopt him!"

"Cats are such annoying animals!"

"What's wrong with it? Look how cute the cat is!"

Yuuki, holding Miku in her arms, let out a soft, coquettish sound. Kengo didn't pay any more attention to it, pouted, and went into the testing room in the rabbit's den.

"Oh right, what's that thing on the wall?"

Kengo, peeking out of the testing room, pointed to a flag on the wall, while Gentaro, hands on his hips, smugly declared, "Isn't it obvious at a glance? It's the Kamen Rider Club!"

"A unit to protect the school from monster attacks!"

"I'm the first member!" Yuuki said, sitting at the round table and raising Miku with a somewhat helpless expression. "This is our Knights Club's mascot!"

"I can't stand you guys!"

Kengo, after grumbling, went into the testing room and didn't show himself again, while Yuuki held Miku in his arms and gently scratched his belly.

"Sigh, I originally said I wouldn't care, but I never expected to infiltrate the Knights' Department by some twist of fate. But it's good this way, I can hide myself and make a living while I'm at it!"

Miku, lying lazily in Yuuki's arms, glanced at the dazed girl, and an unnatural glint flashed in the girl's eyes.

More than half an hour later, Kengo came out of the testing room with the coin in his hand and said helplessly, "No, it's impossible to detect the composition of this thing. Apart from the special cosmic energy it contains, we can't detect anything else!"

"Meow!"

Miku, after letting out a meow, jumped from Yuuki's arms onto the table, like an energetic and curious cat, tentatively reaching for the coins on the table with its paws.

"Just as I thought!" The moment the claw touched the coin, Miku realized something. "For some reason, the Cell Coin has fused with a portion of the Star Apprentice's energy!"

"No, that's not right!"

"Perhaps the Devouring Monster fused with some of the Star Disciple's energy and produced this!"

"Perhaps I can borrow this..."

With a glint of light in his golden eyes, Miku abandoned his previous plan to take the Leo switch and run away, and instead had a new idea.

"Whether it will work or not, we'll have to try again!"
