The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"jingle..."

The clear ringing of the bell hanging on the door made Shotaro pause his lecture to his partner, even though the guy wasn't really listening.

"Welcome..."

"Oh, it's you!"

Upon seeing that the visitor was a familiar Kamen Rider, Decade, Gentaro coughed and said, "Come in and have a seat. I'll go make some coffee!"

"Yo, senior, we meet again!"

"You're Gentaro, kid!"

Upon seeing Gentaro, Shotaro smiled and said, "Please sit down, make yourself at home!"

"Alright, now that the junior has arrived, I must show you my true skills!"

"With your half-baked coffee-making skills?"

Wearing a bright yellow long hoodie and holding his wordless book, Philip mercilessly undermined the other party's plan.

"Stop nagging! Go and entertain the guests!"

Shotaro, who was nagging Philip like a mother hen, turned and went into the small kitchen cubicle.

"Make it, his coffee will take a while to arrive!"

After inviting Wang Xiaoming and Gentaro to sit down, Philip smiled and leaned against the porch. That spot was usually for Shotaro, and he didn't have the habit of sitting there.

Gentaro, curiously observing the Narumi Detective Agency, suddenly narrowed his eyes as he spotted a cat bed placed on one side of the porch.

Next to the cat bed was an unopened bag of premium cat food, and several cans of cat food were placed on the decorative stand above the cat bed.

A small, oddly shaped drone was placed to the side.

"Senior, which one is...?"

.......

Four-Zone World, inside Tianxiao High School, on the roof of the teaching building.

Miku, still in cat form, sat on the rooftop, enjoying the gentle breeze while gazing into the distance.

"The wind in Fengdu is definitely the best!"

Miku clicked his tongue as the hair on his chest was blown up by the wind.

"Tsk, this place just never feels right!"

Chapter 71: Ding! Your online Q&A mentor is now online!

"Which one is the senior...?"

Pointing to the cat bed next to the porch, Gentaro asked Philip curiously. Philip grinned and said, "That one was left for Miku. After all, you never know when that guy might come back, so we left this one for him!"

"Besides, this guy only uses things he's used before. If you replace them for him, he'll throw a tantrum!"

Shotaro, who was serving the coffee, heard this topic and chimed in with a smile.

Philip echoed in agreement, "That guy's sly and cunning, I bet you're having the same problem over there!"

Philip's words reached Gentaro's ears. His mind involuntarily drifted back to Miku's actions.

Gentaro said uncertainly, "Probably...!"

These were Gentaro's carefully considered words. If one were to put it bluntly, Miku's treatment of Shotaro and his partner was at most teasing, but his treatment of Gentaro could be described as persecution and cruelty.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Wang Xiaoming picked up his coffee, took a light sniff of its aroma, then frowned slightly and silently put it down.

"I didn't bring you here just for chatting. You can ask them any questions you have. After all, this duo from W has been through a lot together!"

"Of course!"

Shotaro obligingly pushed up the brim of his hat with his finger. Gentaro, being stared at by Shotaro, didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was simply holding the coffee cup with both hands.

"No, why have you become so slow and indecisive? You weren't like this the last time we met!"

Shotaro adjusted his hat with a slight look of disdain, while Philip closed his open book and said, "Since you were brought here by Shi, it proves that you need some help. Don't hold back, just say it!"

Is it really possible?

After confirming with Shotaro and the other person, Shintaro rushed to ask about Miku. But in the end, all he could think of was the blue-haired, golden-spotted cat staring at him with its golden eyes and asking him that question.

"I would like to ask you two seniors, what is Kamen Rider to you?"

What is Kamen Rider?

Shotaro and Philip exchanged a glance, and Philip shrugged, signaling Shotaro to handle the situation.

Shotaro, having taken off his hat, clasped his hands together in front of him and said, "For me, Kamen Rider is not just a title given to us by the citizens of Fuuto, but also a responsibility that I bear on my shoulders."

"responsibility?"

Gentaro slowly pondered those words, while Shotaro chuckled and reminded him, "You've probably experienced this before, haven't you? When someone is in danger, your body always reacts faster than your brain!"

"Even though they knew it was dangerous, they still did it without hesitation!"

Yes, there are!

Gentaro nodded as if he understood, but then he continued to ask, "So, what do you value most, senpai?"

"That's what I value most!"

Shotaro leaned back against the sofa, his hands behind his head, but his eyes kept glancing toward Philip.

"What's most important to me is..."

"courage!"

"courage?"

Gentaro tilted his head in confusion, not quite understanding what this meant. Shotaro smiled and explained, "Yes, the courage to walk with my partner even to the very end of hell!"

"That is, the bond between us!"

"That's it!"

Seeing Gentaro's seemingly confused expression, Wang Xiaoming stood up abruptly. "Now that you've asked, let's prepare to leave!"

"After all, time is of the essence, and we still have someone to visit!"

"Oh, are you leaving already?"

"Well, thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye, Kamen Rider W, the two-in-one being!"

Wang Xiaoming left with Gentaro in a very dashing manner. After seeing them off at the door, Shotaro returned to his seat and picked up his coffee with a puzzled look.

"I really don't understand what Shi is thinking!"

"No wonder, no one can see through Tsukasa Kadoya!"

“That’s true!” Shotaro nodded in agreement and took a sip of his coffee.

"puff..."

"How could it taste so awful!"

...........

Wang Xiaoming, who summoned the dimensional wall, took Gentaro away from the world of W and came to the world of Three Eggs.

As soon as it appeared, a strangely shaped vending machine caught Gentaro's attention.

"Senior, would you like something to drink? I noticed you didn't touch your coffee with those two seniors, W!"

Gentaro pulled out his wallet and muttered to himself, "Since they're all pretty much the same, then the currency should be common too!"

Wang Xiaoming crossed his arms and watched Gentaro walk toward the vending machine.

"This kid has surprisingly sharp observation skills sometimes!"

As he spoke, he walked behind Gentaro and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, senior, I'm still researching this thing, but why can't I use it?"

Gentaro scratched his head, clutching his wallet, trying to figure out how it worked.

"Okay, this isn't a beverage vending machine!"

"Oh, isn't that right?"

"It looks very similar, but it's actually a motorcycle!"

Wang Xiaoming took out a cell coin, inserted it into the coin slot, and pressed the deformed button.

"Click, click..."

Amidst the mechanical rustling, the vending machine transformed into a motorcycle, with two helmets still hanging on it.

"This is Eiji-senpai's motorcycle!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get on!"

After tossing Gentaro a helmet, Wang Xiaoming drove Gentaro along the highway.

Within half an hour, they found their target.

A young man holding a wooden stick with underwear hanging on it, and another young man wearing a leather jacket with red hair who looked very arrogant.

"Hey, you two!"

"Oh, it's you!?"

"Long time no see, Shi!"

After Eiji and Anku greeted Shi, they began to inquire about the purpose of his visit.

"I'm here for this kid; he has some questions that you need to answer!"

"Oh?"
