The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Now all we have to wait for is the birth of the Cosmic switch!

"By the way, Kengo, how many switches have been reactivated so far?!"

Miku's sudden outburst drew everyone's attention, but Kengo wasn't surprised, as Miku had been closely monitoring the switch's adjustment and activation. After a moment's thought, he said, "We've now adjusted it to the thirty-eighth one!"

"Hmm, let's speed it up a bit. I don't know why, but I just feel like something's not right!"

Kengo began to ponder Miku's suggestion.

Miku's help to them was immense. Not only did he help them find the Star Apprentice, but the experience he provided to Gentaro was unparalleled!

"I understand. I'll speed up the process for the remaining two switches!"

"That's fine!"

Miku jumped off the table and left the rabbit hutch. Gentaro stared at Miku's retreating figure, his lips pressed tightly together.

"I have a feeling that Miku has been acting strangely lately, but I can't quite put my finger on it!"

"It must be your imagination!"

With a grin, Yuuki, who had his arm around Gentaro's shoulder, spoke up. Gentaro nodded solemnly and said, "If only that were true!"

........

"Meteor, you haven't joined the Kamen Rider Club yet?"

Emoto Shuki's voice came from the METEOR switch. Sakuta Ryusei, holding the switch, said with a cold expression, "I feel that it's not necessary at this stage, and I've already found a clue about Aries. We just need to keep pursuing it!"

"As for Fourze, it seems they don't need my help, so let's just maintain the status quo for now!"

After saying that, Sakuta Meteor turned off the switch.

On the other side, a hunched figure slowly walked up to him.

"Kid, have you thought it through?"

"Are you really going to give me information about Aries?"

"That's natural, but you have to complete my task first!"

"what!"

"Kill, Fourze!"

"Kill Gentaro!"

Chapter 43: The Birth of the Cosmic Switch!

Night falls at the Shirojima residence.

The two cats huddled together, watching Yuuki frolicking around the room.

"This little guy is growing at an amazing rate!"

Mick looked at Yuuki at this moment, or rather, at another Yuuki personality that had been awakened by the Cell Coin.

"Not enough, far from enough."

Miku shook his head. "Right now, it's just a secondary personality that can only appear while the primary personality is asleep. That's far from enough. We need to make sure she can separate out!"

"That will take some time!"

"No, it will be soon!"

Miku narrowed his eyes, and Yuuki, who had been jumping around the room, suddenly stopped moving, swayed back to the bed and lay down.

Soon, even breathing sounds began to ring out.

However, several gray-black bandages appeared on Yuuki's neck, extending upwards and almost touching Yuuki's forehead.

"Where did you make contact with Sakuta Meteorite?"

“I’ve made contact with him, and he readily agreed to our terms.” Mick couldn’t help but chuckle as he recalled Sakuta Ryusei’s resolute expression during the day.

"This kid seems really eager to help his friend!"

"No wonder. With your and my influence, he naturally didn't form a bond with Gentaro since he didn't join the Kamen Rider Club. This makes things easier for us!"

"What about Aries?"

"Let him make the move first!"

"Understood!"

..........

The next day, the chairman was in a dark room.

As Mick yawned with his mouth wide open, his eyes kept scanning Leo as if he were looking at an object.

"Humph!"

Noticing Mick's gaze, Leo snorted coldly, but unconsciously took a step back.

"Speaking of which, Li Shen, have you ever tried to spread the switch?"

"No, this is not my job. The diffusion switch is naturally handled by the other apostles. My responsibility is to protect Lord Wang's safety!"

"I see. But shouldn't the task of finding new apostles be spread among all the students in the school? All the apostles haven't gathered yet, and you're just hanging around here. That doesn't make sense!"

As he spoke, Mick flicked a Star Disciple switch with his tail and tossed it toward Li Shenhou, "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can bring me a surprise!"

"me?"

Leo, aided by the Star Switch, stared blankly at the switch in his palm.

"If you don't have a goal, I can introduce you to someone who is truly capable of becoming an apostle!"

Inside the rabbit hutch, Kengo and the rest of the Kamen Rider Club gazed at the final, fortieth switch, with Lee looking on with expectant expressions.

"The 40th switch has finally been activated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the switch inside the activation box changed from black to a palm-sized, indigo-blue switch.

"This is also the last and most powerful switch!"

Kengo held the Cosmic switch, his tone quite smug.

"Oh, it's finally finished!"

Gentaro's excited shout made Miku frown. "Still as noisy as ever!"

Miku, still grumpy from waking up, glanced at the group of people crammed in front of the glass of the testing room, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Just bear with it a little longer, just a little longer and it will be fine!"

"Soon I'll be able to stop playing this nice guy and mascot role!"

Miku, muttering to himself, squeezed among Miu and the others in the testing room, where Gentaro slicked back his spiky hair in a very flamboyant manner.

"Falcon, make sure you take good pictures of me later!"

"rest assured!"

Hayabusa Daimonji, holding a small hamburger, takes a nice picture of Gentaro.

"This is a moment to remember—the birth of the Cosmic States!"

After saying that, Gentaro inserted the Cosmic switch into the first groove on the right side of the driver, but a strong energy flow was generated at the bottom of the Cosmic, and the energy flow radiating in the form of an electric current prevented Gentaro from inserting it as he wished.

"Oh, that's strange, I can't get it in!"

"Is it broken?"

Gentaro turned on the switch, revealing a red button inside, and slapped it down with his hand, shouting, "Give me some reaction!"

"Danger!"

"Danger!"

"Danger!"

........

The incessant danger warning made Gentaro somewhat annoyed, and he said, "What does 'Danger' mean? You should at least give me some feedback!"

Those outside watched Gentaro press the button and, for some reason, all felt uneasy and took a step back.

"Kisaragi, stop pressing it!"

Kengo reminded Gentaro when the last notification sound rang, and Gentaro, belatedly realizing what was happening, looked at Kengo blankly.

Gentaro, who had subconsciously taken a picture, finally didn't hear the Danger notification sound. Instead, he heard a voice with a mocking tone.

Goodbye!

"boom!"

The sudden explosion came without warning, and the entire testing chamber was filled with flames.

But for Fourze, the explosion was just like a firecracker; Gentaro, his ears ringing, staggered out of the testing room.

"This thing is really fierce! Not only can't we use it, but it explodes at the slightest provocation!"

After tossing the Cosmic switch to Kengo, Gentaro deactivated his transformation.

Kengo, who was checking the switch, did not notice anything wrong. Miku spoke up at the right moment, "Perhaps you haven't met the requirements to use it!"

"Require?"

Gentaro scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled, while Kengo also wore a thoughtful expression.

"Xianwu, I advise you to take another look at the documents left by your father, or carefully examine the corner of the rabbit burrow; perhaps there are clues there!"

Miku winked meaningfully, and Kengo touched his lips and murmured, "Requirements?"

"hint?"

"Kisaragi, I'll do some more checks on the Cosmic switch. I'll leave it with you for now!"

"Alright, it's up to you, Kengo!"

Gentaro patted Kengo on the shoulder and smiled.
