The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"2"

"call!"

Before the countdown was even over, the strange man flashed in front of Gentaro, grabbed his right hand that was holding the handle with one hand, and choked him with the other.

"It's too slow. Why do Kamen Riders always like to use these fancy transformation poses?"

Do you think you're handsome?

The strange man who was tightly gripping Gentaro kicked him in the stomach.

"The battle between knights and monsters is not child's play, don't be so naive!"

Gentaro was sent flying backwards, and the monster took a step to catch up. Before Gentaro could get up, the monster grabbed the driver at the other's waist and yanked hard.

"laugh...."

The driver fell to the ground with a thud, and the monster holding it stomped on Gentaro's chest arrogantly, saying, "Too naive, too innocent. Do you think you deserve the title of Kamen Rider?"

"Don't joke around, Kamen Rider Fourze? He's just a hot-blooded brat who brags all the time!"

"Lord Ensaki!"

Scorpio, wearing a cape, stared at the strange man who was holding the driver and stepping on Gentaro, a deep resentment hidden in his eyes.

However, under Wang Guangming's instructions, I had no choice but to temporarily act as his subordinate.

It was only because I looked up to Mingguang that Yuanzaki was my collaborator, and that we were equals in status, and we tried to be humble in front of him.

"Hey, little scorpion!"

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon!"

With a flick of his finger, the eccentric man lifted Scorpio's chin and spoke in a flippant tone.

"Should we take him down now, Madoka-sama!?"

Scorpio, eager to get rid of Gentaro, couldn't wait, but the strange man raised his arm and said, "There's no rush. Without the driver, this kid is just an ordinary high school student and poses no threat!"

"Yes!"

"Whoosh..."

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as a small figure kicked the monster in the chest, its two front paws grabbing the driver in its hands.

In the blink of an eye, they seized the Fourze Driver.

"Kitty?"

"Miku?"

Gentaro and Kengo gasped in surprise when they saw the figure who had taken the driver.

The strange man moved his foot away from Gentaro's chest, revealing a fierce glint in his two scarlet eyes.

"Oh my, look who this is! Isn't this my own brother, born of the same mother?"

"Are you planning to act as a knight's partner again this time?"

"Yunzaki Miku!"

The strange man, who spoke with a mocking tone, had cold, emotionless eyes. Miku put down the driver he was holding and looked at the strange man with a hint of regret in his eyes, saying, "Why did you do this, Miku!"

"The talking cat is here!"

After Miku spoke, Gentaro looked like he'd seen a ghost, and Kengo also stared at Miku in disbelief.

"Why do this?"

The oddball known as Mick tilted his head and scoffed disdainfully, "Because I want to become stronger!"

"So, you've started working with these weirdos again!"

"Oh, oh, oh, don't say that. I can only say that it's a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

Amidst the shimmering light and countless coin flips, a cat nearly the same size as Miku, with a long tail trailing behind it, appeared before the crowd.

Unlike Miku, this cat in front of me had bright red fur with some black spots, and its eyes were two different colors, one yellow and one blue.

The two pointed ears, one red and one black, laughed at Miku as he pulled Mik up, "Foolish little brother, you're as naive as ever. But that's fine, you can continue playing your knight house game. I, your brother, will cooperate with you!"

Miku winked at Miku, a smile spreading across her face. When Miku met Mik's gaze, her golden eyes clearly reflected his image, and so did Mik's.

"Let's go, little scorpion. Let's head back now. I'm so happy to have met my little brother today!"

Mick, wagging his tail, gave Miku a meaningful look. Scorpio looked at him with a troubled expression, and finally, a wisp of black mist rose up and disappeared with Mick in front of the two people and the cat.

"What exactly is going on?"

Kengo, who was puzzled and speechless, was greatly shocked. Gentaro, who didn't even care about his own injuries, stared blankly at Miku, who was guarding the Fourze Driver.

"There are many hidden details to this matter!"

Miku lowered his head with a wry smile, his long tail coiling around his body.

.......

Inside the dark room of the Tian Gao Chairman's office.

"I really didn't expect that, Madoka, you're actually a..."

"Kitty?"

Seeing the surprised expression on Wang Guangming's face, Mick chuckled and said, "Mr. Wang, you're not planning to renege on your debt just because I'm a cat, are you?!"

"Not at all. I won't judge you just because you're not human. I admire you for being able to surpass humans with the body of an animal!"

"Moreover, the universe is so vast that anything is possible!"

"Hahaha...."

Mick's unrestrained laughter abruptly stopped. "Since Mr. Wang thinks so highly of me, then I must show some sincerity!"

"Oh?"

"Message from the core switch!"

"what?"

I, who had remained expressionless the whole time, was deeply moved when I heard the words "core switch".

"Really? You know about the core switch?"

"Ok!"

Mick nodded, his eyes gleaming.

"But it's not certain yet, but the switch is inside the school!"

"That's it!"

As I pondered this, I watched as Guangming played with the Star Disciple Switch in his hand. After a moment, he spoke earnestly, "In that case, I'll leave it to you. In my school, whether it's an Apostle or anything else, take it as soon as you need it, as long as you can find the core switch!"

"Don't worry, I've already made some progress!"

The cat, its tail wagging, straightened up. In the dimly lit room, a pair of heterochromatic eyes gleamed with a unique light.

The moon's surface, a rabbit's burrow.

"It can't be real, Miku can talk!"

Yuuki found the news utterly absurd. But the facts were undeniable, and she had no choice but to believe it.

"I'm sorry, Yuuki. I kept it from you for so long!"

"So what is your purpose in approaching us?"

Kengo held a celestial switch in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity as he took Miku into his line of sight.

"I did have a purpose, but I didn't mean to harm you!"

"I just want to witness the birth of a new generation of knights!"

Miku, with his head down, looked very dejected, his long tail drooping behind him.

"A new generation of knights?"

"Could it be that you've seen other knights?"

Kengo, seizing on the key words in Miku's words, hurriedly pressed for more information. Miku then raised her head and said with unwavering confidence, "Let's get to know each other again, Ensaki Miku!"

"A partner and...mentor of Kamen Riders!"

Chapter Twelve: On the Acting Skills of a Cat! (A long chapter of 3,000 words)

"I believe in Kamen Rider's allies, but to say you're a mentor is just too much of an exaggeration!"

Singer Kengo laughed, his words filled with distrust of Miku's words.

"Don't you trust me?" The cat's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and Gentaro and Yuuki followed suit by casting doubtful glances at it.

"Tsk, this little brat is really hard to fool!"

After glancing at Kengo without making a sound, Miku thought to himself, "But it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, under Mik's pressure, you'll believe me!"

"I'll show you that!"

"My determination!"

"Furthermore, as a Kamen Rider, Gentaro is still very inexperienced, but I promise I will help him grow into a qualified Rider!"

"Do you believe me, Gentaro?"

Miku, with her big, watery eyes, looked up. Gentaro met Miku's eyes and gave her a hearty smile.

"Let's become friends. Once we're friends, we can trust each other!"

Gentaro thumped his chest and raised his fist at Miku, who laughed self-deprecatingly, "Friends? I'm afraid I don't deserve that title!"

"If even my brother can't save me, how can I have the face to make friends!"

"I couldn't even stop it from my closest people, I'm so terrible!"

"Did Miku come to us to save your brother?"
