The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Hey, you two, which class are you in? Who's your homeroom teacher?"

A loud shout startled the young couple, who jumped up. When they saw that the person who made the shout was a strange person, they cried out in surprise and ran hand in hand into the stairwell.

"Sigh, single people have no rights these days!"

Miku, hands on his hips, shook his head and sighed upon seeing this scene.

"Hmph, it's no wonder nobody likes a guy with such a terrible personality!"

Scorpio, surrounded by a white blur, collapsed to the ground and launched a taunting attack on Miku.

"What a coincidence, there are still quite a few people who like me!"

Miku chuckled and wouldn't hold a grudge over this. After picking up Scorpio, Miku said softly, "I'm actually quite a humane person!"

"I'll give you two choices now. First, undo your transformation and hand over your Palace Disciple Switch!"

Second, as long as you let me have my way with you, I'll let you go, and I don't even need the palace gate switch!

Choose, little puppy!

"I choose option three!" Scorpio, who appeared before Miku with a flash of lightning from the back of his head, said hatefully, "That is to defeat you!"

"This one doesn't exist!"

With his left hand gripping the scorpion's stinger, Miku said coldly, "Looks like you're going to refuse a polite offer and then drink a forfeit. In that case, I'll give you another way out!"

"That means I'll force you to stop transforming, break your limbs, and then dump you like a dead dog at the door of my office in Wang Guangming!"

"What do you think?"

After hearing Miku's words, Scorpio felt a chill run through her body. The cold tone contained boundless malice, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"How do you know these things? How do you know the name of that important person?"

"Knowing this is very simple, Ms. Sonoda Sarina!"

As the saying goes, a single word can startle a thousand waves. Not only was the name of the chairman behind him exposed, but his own identity was also revealed by the enemy.

She could already foresee the trouble this would bring to the chairperson if word got out!

With this thought in mind, Scorpio steeled himself and said in a humiliating tone, "If I undo my transformation and let you do whatever you want, will you let me go?"

"I'm a very trustworthy person!"

Seeing that the other party was relenting, Miku couldn't help but reduce the strength in her hand. Sonoda Sarina, who was almost out of the brink of blindness, said in a flat tone, "Then let me go, I'll do it!"

Miku, having released his opponent, calmly crossed his arms over his chest, and Scorpio immediately deactivated his transformation.

The energy points arranged on the other person's body according to the star chart dispersed into a cloud of black mist, revealing Sonoda Sarina with unfocused eyes.

"I hope you will do as you say!"

As Sonoda Sarina, her shirt still slightly glazed, saw a figure flash by and she was pinned to the ground.

"Come on, I hope you can be gentle!"

Sonoda Sarina, who had tried to struggle, collapsed to the ground as if resigned to her fate. Miku flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "What's going on in your head?"

"*****?"

"I have absolutely no interest in your broad forehead!"

"So what do you want?"

"All I want to do is liberate your desires, that's all!"

"Release my desires?" Sonoda Sarina asked in bewilderment as the sound of coins clattering echoed in her ears, causing her to let out a painful groan.

"The seed has been planted; now it's time to see what surprises you have in store for me, Scorpio!"

After releasing Scorpio, Miku saw the fleeting phantom of the Devouring Monster within her body and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Oh, by the way, could you please pass on a message to your family's chairman?"

"Just tell him I want to make a deal with him!"

"What is it?" Sonoda Sarina asked, sitting up. Miku, grinding his fangs, said, "I want ten blank Star Apprentice Switches!"

"You're dreaming!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't even told you my price yet and you're already getting excited!"

"You just need to tell him four words, and he'll know what to do!"

Sonoda Sarina asked, "What?"

"The Voice of the Universe!"

"Please help me pass on this message!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Miku hopped and skipped away, leaving Sonoda Sarina alone on the rooftop in the cold wind.

........

"Oh, Miku, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere!"

"Meow!"

Miku let out a helpless cry after being picked up by Yuuki, and then let the other person hold her in their arms.

"Hey, Sonoda-chan, are you alright? You look terrible!"

Gentaro saw Sonoda Sarina leaning against the wall. Sonoda Sarina waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. It's you guys who should go home!"

"Okay, I'll be right back!"

With a hearty smile, Gentaro patted his chest and made a promise. Miku, nestled in Yuuki's arms, watched as the other man helped him leave against the wall, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"We've done everything we could; now it's time to see what we've gained!"

"Let's go home, Miku!"

"We're going back, we're going back!"

I can't stand the two of you!

The young men and women, brimming with youthful energy, chatted as they left the school, while in the dark room of the chairman's office...

I listened to Sonoda Sarina's story with a frown, especially when she mentioned "the voice of the universe." Her brow twitched sharply. When she heard that she wanted ten blank switches as payment, she sneered, "This girl really has a big appetite!"

"How dare you blackmail me!"

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the two of you to make the trip yourself!"

Libra, Leo!

"Yes!"

Chapter 8: A passing knight was brutally beaten for not paying the toll?

That night, at the Shirojima residence.

Goodnight, Mom and Dad!

Goodnight, Yuuki-chan!

Goodnight, Miku!

After being greeted by Yuuki while being held by the paws like a rag doll, Miku, looking helpless, was carried into the girl's boudoir.

It was 9 PM. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yuuki sat upright like a clay or wooden sculpture, her eyes unfocused.

"It's feeding time again!"

In the halo of light, the shadow of a hunched back was cast on the wall, and the coin slot on Yuuki's forehead appeared silently. Miku flicked his finger and inserted a coin into it.

"Ding....."

The sound of the coin ringing echoed slowly in the quiet room. The girl lay down on the bed without a sound, her breathing even.

"Luckily, this girl was wearing pajamas, otherwise I would have had to change her!"

After placing Yuuki on the bed, Miku covered him with a blanket.

Gazing at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Miku couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "She's so lively during the day, but she's quite quiet at night!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of pebbles hitting the window was particularly jarring in the quiet room. Miku squinted and slowly walked to the window, turning his head to look outside. A knight completely clad in magenta armor stood outside the door.

"When did this guy learn this trick?!"

Miku pouted, opened the window, jumped out, and landed on the street in front of Shirojima's house.

What are you doing here?

Miku, who was speaking irritably, put one hand on his hip. Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything, just beckoned to him and then turned and left.

"Playing hard to get!"

Miku snorted and followed closely behind Wang Xiaoming. The two chased each other until they stopped at a lighthouse on the coast.

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound came from Wang Xiaoming's belt as he deactivated his transformation, and the DCD armor dissipated like foam.

In the darkness, Wang Xiaoming, standing under the lighthouse, had his clothes fluttering in the sea breeze, enveloping himself in the night and making it even harder for Miku to see his face.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Huh..."

An envelope was tossed out by Wang Xiaoming, spinning as it flew towards Miku. After catching it, Miku didn't rush to open it. Instead, he said with amusement, "Since when passing Kamen Riders have taken on the job of mail carriers?"

"Give it to me if you don't want it!"

Wang Xiaoming, who had stretched out his hand, spoke irritably. Miku made a face at him and said, "You think you can take back what's in my hands? You're dreaming!"

"Then stop talking nonsense!"

Wang Xiaoming snorted and withdrew his hand, putting it in his pocket.
