The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of the staff striking the ground echoed out at that moment, and Libra, wearing an apostle's cloak and holding a staff, strolled up behind Miku.

"Yo!"

Miku, who turned around to greet him, frowned. "Why isn't it that long-legged guy from yesterday? It's actually a cockroach-headed guy who came to make a deal with me!"

"Well, whatever. It doesn't matter who it is!"

Did you bring your things?

He casually reached out to Libra, who ripped off his cloak and said coldly:

"You think you can make a deal with my master?!"

"Your blasphemy against my master and your insult to us twelve apostles will all be settled today!"

The staff moved and pointed at Miku's chest, with Libra following closely behind.

"Snapped!"

As Miku grabbed the long staff, he inexplicably recalled the scene when he fought with Xiaoming, and that guy twirled around with the stick.

"I hate things with sticks the most!"

"Confiscate it!"

Miku, who grabbed the staff and pulled it away, kicked out and struck Libra's wrist squarely.

"hiss!"

The Libra gasped as he was struck on the hand, and his gaze toward Miku changed.

Scorpio initially thought the other party's claim of strength was just an attempt to shirk responsibility, but now it seems this guy is far more troublesome than he appears!

"By the way, where's that Leo with the braids?"

Miku, leaning on his long cane, casually asked a question, startling Libra.

How did you know that!?

"you guess!"

A fierce glint flashed in Miku's eyes as he stroked his fangs. Last night, Wang Xiaoming had left him with a huge problem, and he hadn't recovered from it all day.

These days, people are practically offering themselves up to you. It's like going to the toilet with a lantern – it's practically suicide!

"Never mind, I'll beat you down first, then I'll deal with that plate of walnuts!"

Miku tossed the long stick downstairs with a backhand motion, stomped his right foot hard on the ground, leaving a clear footprint on the concrete floor, and disappeared from Libra's sight.

"Disappeared?"

Startled, Libra's vision blurred, and he felt a tremendous force strike his chest, sending him flying backward uncontrollably.

"Crackling...crackling...crackling..."

On the rooftop, afterimages flashed incessantly, and the air crackled with the constant crackling of electricity.

Libra, tossed into the air, was completely toyed with by Miku, who was moving at supersonic speed. Every time it was about to land, a huge force would strike it and throw it back into the air.

"Damn it, how come this guy is so fast?"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The dull sounds of flesh being struck were incessant. The Libra, who had become a sitting duck, was filled with humiliation and was so angry that he was about to explode because he was unable to fight back!

"Roar!"

The ferocious roar stirred up waves of dark gold, and the sound waves that completely enveloped the rooftop instantly sent Libra flying to the edge of the building. As a result, Miku also revealed himself.

Just as Libra was about to fall off the rooftop, a black hole appeared out of nowhere, and a strange man wearing an elaborately designed huge cloak grabbed Libra and pulled him back onto the rooftop.

"I'm having so much fun, and you've ruined it. It's really upsetting!"

With arms outstretched, the six long blades protecting his chest opened, unleashing a fierce and blazing light.

In response, Leo pulled Libra behind him and silently bore all the attacks alone.

"You're quite capable, handling walnuts!"

Miku, stroking his fangs, narrowed his eyes. "I'm becoming more and more interested in your switch!"

"And your handsome cape is the same!"

"If you want it, you can have it!"

He ripped off his cloak and threw it at Miku's Leo, then with a flick of his arms, long, large claws appeared on his forearms.

The cloak, brimming with fierce force, was grabbed by Miku and draped over his body. The cat, stroking the cloak with both hands, said, "How is it? Pretty cool, right?"

"It's so ugly!"

Leo snorted coldly, his figure disappearing into a black hole that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was with this ability that he had just saved Libra.

"How dare you call me ugly!"

Miku, who had just ripped his cloak, sneered, "Looks like you've never been hit by a cat before!"

“Ex~tre~me!”

Centered on the driver at his waist, fine, spiderweb-like cracks spread across Miku's entire body.

"Click, click, click..."

Amidst the crisp sound of breaking, a tall, slender figure appeared on the rooftop.

Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, after the outer bio-armor was completely destroyed, a figure two meters tall appeared in front of the two Leo individuals.

"It's been a long time since I've used the power of EX. You two should be proud of that, because what you've witnessed is a collection of Earth's memories!"

"Earth's memory?"

Looking at Miku, whose appearance had drastically changed, Libra's eyes were filled with horror. He muttered to himself as he stared at the figure before him, which resembled a demon god.

"Die!"

Miku, who had spoken coldly, did not move. Suddenly, several Miku figures appeared in front of Leo. The next second, Leo, whose body was covered in sparks, collapsed to the ground.

Li Shenhou, whose clothes had become tattered for some unknown reason, opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Libra was only patted by a phantom image, but the damage was so great that he was forced to exit his transformation state.

"The Leo switch, and the Libra switch!"

"I'll accept it without hesitation!"

With a flick of his arm, two switches suddenly appeared in Miku's hand, while the switches next to Riki and Hayami disappeared.

"It's time to send you on your way. This is probably what the news will be like tomorrow!"

"At a certain university, the president and an unidentified man committed suicide together by jumping off a building. Is this a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature?"

"I can't wait!"

With a casual gesture, both Riki and Hayami Kou fell into Miku's palm.

"Bye, you foolish twelve apostles!"

"Please stop!"

A loud, magnetic voice rang out. Miku turned his head and saw Wang Guangming standing at the top of the stairs, carrying a suitcase.

"Oh, isn't this the Chairman? With all your busy schedules, what brings you here!"

"I'm here to complete our deal!"

Opening the briefcase and holding it in my arms, I looked up at the light and said, "Not only the original ten switches you wanted, I could even give you the Leo switch, but..."

"There are conditions, right?"

"Perfect timing, I also need to talk to you about something!"

"Come on, let's make a deal!"

Miku loosened his grip, letting Li Shenhou and the other fall to the ground. He then suddenly appeared beside Wang Guangming, put his arm around the other's shoulder, and said, "Come on, let's talk somewhere else!"

Chapter Ten: A Dirty "PY" Deal!

"Let's go, let's talk somewhere else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shenhou, who had struggled to his feet, saw the chairman, Wang Guangming, and that demon-like figure disappear without a trace.

On the vast rooftop, only he and Hayami Kohei remained, lying on the ground, exposed to the cold wind.

"Shu~"

The whistling wind whistled past my ears, and as I looked up at the light, I felt my body go from light to heavy. When I looked back, I was already near a lighthouse on the coast.

The briefcase containing ten Star Path Switches suddenly felt lighter in Miku's hand.

Three seconds!

He glanced down at his watch on his left wrist; the second hand had only ticked three times, a speed that sent a chill down his spine.

"Now that no one's interfering, let's talk about our deal!"

Miku's two-meter-tall body cast a large shadow that enveloped the light of my gaze. Seeing the playfulness in his golden eyes, I, too, dismissed my own thoughts.

It's not the right time yet. The strength this guy has shown is far beyond what I can currently contend with. I have to proceed cautiously!

"What kind of deal do you wish to discuss with me?"

Suppressing the distractions in my mind, I looked up at the light, put my hands behind my back, and asked in a loud voice.

"It's simple. I want the power of the Star Disciple Switch, and I also want you to help me find a guy!"

"These are all very simple, but what can I get in return?"

Undeterred, I looked directly at Miku and began to advocate for my own interests. "There are many things I can do to help you, such as making it easier for users of the Star Path Switch to reach Last One!" Miku chuckled, playing with a Star Path Switch in his hand. "And don't you want to know who that little guy who heard the Voice of the Universe is?"

"I'm very interested in all of these. Let's discuss it properly!"

My eyes, which had turned from black to red, looked up at the light and spoke in a low voice. Miku, who had clapped his hands, nodded and said, "Okay!"
