The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The cat, hissing at the White Demon, struggled desperately against its chains, but to no avail.

The chain was made of an unknown material; it appeared to be only about two fingers thick, yet it was surprisingly sturdy and durable.

Do you care about it a lot?

The White Demon, who had pulled Iggy away from the side, carefully observed Miku's expression.

Sure enough, as he held Iggy in his hand, the cat struggled more and more, and its howls became more shrill.

"It seems the reason you were able to survive the ceremony was because of him!"

The White Demon chuckled as he slammed Iggy to the ground. "My interest in you is growing!" he said in a low voice, rubbing his right index finger and thumb together. "You will become my best pawn!"

After saying that, the white demon raised his hand and summoned a magic circle, then pressed it down on Miku.

The magic circle pressed down on Miku's head, and a strong sense of sleepiness welled up from the depths of Miku's heart.

"Damn it, it must be a coma-type ability!"

Despite her intense drowsiness, Miku could easily have blocked it out. However, after giving the White Demon a deep look, Miku didn't resist and readily accepted the drowsiness.

"Pfft!"

After seeing the cat, larger than a tiger and nearly the size of a small car, fall unconscious, the White Demon withdrew his chains, stood there for a moment in contemplation, then summoned a magic circle again, went inside, and disappeared into the cave.

No sooner had the White Demon left than Miku's ears twitched, and a slit appeared in his tightly closed eyes, from which surged an incredibly intense killing intent.

"You bastard, you just wait! Once I figure out my own problems, I'll bite you to death!"

Miku, who had made a silent vow, closed his eyes again. Iggy, who had been thrown around so many times, was still full of energy. Seeing Miku asleep, he circled around the cat, whose body was gradually shrinking.

Finally, it lay down next to the cat whose size had returned to normal, curled up its body around Miku, and then closed its eyes.

Iggy's body is now constructed from Cell Coins, so he's a weirdo in a certain sense, just like Mick!

To put it bluntly, these two are just Yummy in dog and cat skins!

This gave him a body capable of withstanding most physical damage. Not to mention, even if he were run over by a large truck, the thick-skinned Iggy would still be able to chase after the truck's tires with great energy and bite them.

This also helped Iggy and Miku dispel some of the White Demon's doubts, such as why the two of them survived the ritual.

In his view, Miku was able to survive the Witch's Banquet because Iggy's existence gave him hope, and although Iggy did not give birth to a Phantom, he still underwent a considerable degree of mutation!

And that's what he wants to study slowly!

Having sentenced the White Demon to death in his heart, Miku simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. After feeling the warmth that enveloped him, a slight smile appeared on Miku's lips.

"It's so nice to have you by my side!"

Miku, impressed by Iggy's thoughtfulness, began to examine the strange changes occurring in his body. He should have transformed into his monster form, but he only increased in size and did not reveal his monster form!

"Perhaps it's because of the Phantom inside me, it seems like there's a mischievous guy inside me!"

Having figured out a plan, Miku decided to stay by White Demon's side for the time being. He would see what this bastard wanted to do first. If there was something in return, he would reluctantly cooperate with him. If not, he would send him to hell!

Even though Iggy is tough now, Miku can't tolerate anyone touching a hair on his head!

As for the White Demon, Miku had already labeled him as doomed in his heart, but that was after he had lost his usefulness!

As for Iggy getting beaten up because he brought it on himself, Miku doesn't care!

If you dare touch my dog, I'll beat you to death!

As for my dog ​​biting you, that's doing you a favor, and you actually dared to fight back!

Even if you're in the right, I'll still knock your head off!

That's right, our Sakiko is just that unreasonable and domineering!

Now that Miku has resurrected Iggy, his mentality is gradually shifting towards the kind of tyrannical parent he hated most in his previous life!

But you only realize the value of something when you lose it. Miku felt that he would dare to bare his teeth at the little devil for Iggy, who was the embodiment of his past!

As for the big gold watch?

Let's just wash up and go to bed!

.......

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The sound of water droplets falling down the rock wall was very crisp, and Miku, who was snuggled up with Ichi, was fast asleep.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed through the dim cave, and the White Demon, dressed in a white robe, stepped out of the magic circle.

More than a week has passed since Miku and Iggy were left in this cave by the White Demon after the last conflict. Only by observing the changes in the light filtering into the cave can Miku keep track of time.

As for eating, a certain amount of food is thrown out from the magic circle every day.

To be honest, this kind of life makes Miku a little frustrated!

It's not a pleasant feeling to be treated like a pet. The old man treated Miku like a pet, but he never mistreated him in terms of living conditions. As for White Demon, he treated Miku purely like a pig.

Miku opened his eyes, his ears twitching. The dim light caused his pupils to shrink to thin slits.

Upon seeing the White Demon, Miku stood in front of Iggy, letting out a threatening hiss, his cat fur standing on end as his back arched high.

When Iggy woke up, he looked around in confusion, and then he spotted Miku with his fur standing on end, especially his tail with its fur bulging right in front of him.

It made him stick out his tongue involuntarily.

Even after consulting so much information, seeing you up close still feels incredibly amazing!

"Since ancient times, magicians have never stopped experimenting on animals. It was only in modern times that they stopped because they could not replicate the achievements of the ancient magicians. But now..."

"This achievement can be brought up again!"

The White Demon muttered to himself, staring at the cat with its fur standing on end in front of him, while Iggy was subconsciously ignored!

After all, this dog, under his surveillance, had no distinguishing features other than its thick skin and tough flesh!

But this cat is different. The magic power within him is growing rapidly every day. If it weren't for the fact that his own technology has matured, he probably would have already used him as an experimental subject!

However, it wasn't too late, since he had already repaired the driver that was excavated from the ancient ruins.

Now I have one more piece in my hand!

"Meow!"

A shrill meow came from Miku's mouth, and the somewhat surprised White Demon saw that Miku's tail had been bitten by Iggy.

"damn it!"

Miku, his body stiff and eyes brimming with tears, awkwardly turned to look at Iqi.

"Waaaaah..."

With a low whimper escaping its mouth, Iggy grinned as Miku stared at it, and Miku took the opportunity to retract its tail.

Looking at his wet tail, Miku remained silent for a moment.

Raising its paw, it aimed at Iggy's face and began to beat him mercilessly. Iggy instinctively tried to cry out, but his not-so-bright brain found that he didn't seem to feel any pain.

"Awoo!"

With its jaws wide open, Iggy grabbed Miku's head and took it inside.

Miku's face froze for a moment, then he started struggling wildly, yelling, "You've gone too far! You bastard!"

Miku, roaring inwardly, was enveloped by a sudden, invisible force, as was Iggy. Iggy was frozen in place, his mouth agape, while Miku was dragged out by that invisible force.

Having just separated the cat and dog wrestling in front of him, White Demon also solidified his inner thoughts.

Animals are animals after all; no matter how powerful they are, they cannot escape their foolish nature.

This also makes it easier for me to control the situation, so I don't have to be afraid of being bitten back!

However, Miku's idea was not to bite back, but to bite him to death!

After being separated by the White Demon, Miku hurriedly shook his head, trying to shake off the saliva stuck to his fur.

"I'll deal with you later!"

After giving Ichi a threatening look, Miku turned to look at the White Demon.

Without a word, Bai Mo flicked his wrist, and a golden magic circle appeared in the air.

He pulled out a rather peculiar-looking driver from it.

The overall color of the driver is a gradient of fiery red, and its unrestrained, flame-like red color can be seen from every angle.

In the center of the driver is a beast claw-like pattern with three ferocious scars. The pattern is pitch black, but the three claw marks are blood red, and the pattern is surrounded by a sky blue border.

Unlike the Wizard's Driver, the claw-patterned sides are not equipped with pull buttons, but are instead enclosed by a gear-shaped ring!

"This is..."

Miku, her eyes slightly widened, stared in surprise at the driver in White Demon's hand.

"A driver that has never been seen in the original series!"

Chapter Four: The Dog Knight makes his true debut at this moment!

Torii-zaka Yuhi TV Station, recording studio.

It was the time for a live broadcast of a morning bird on the evening television station, and the friendly host, Kazuo Tajima, was standing in front of the camera, talking eloquently.

"Recently, our station encountered a magician on the street who could release flames with his fingers. Please note that he is a magician, not a sorcerer!"

Kazuo Tajima began his opening remarks, piquing the curiosity of the viewers currently watching the program.

"Without further ado, let's welcome the street magician, Mr. Nara Shunpei!"

Tajima Kazuo, with his hand outstretched to the side, pointed to a side door. The door opened and a young man who looked somewhat immature walked out, holding a brightly colored illustrated book in his hands.

Meanwhile, television staff played a message introducing the identity of the young man who had just appeared.

Please give me your guidance!

Nara Shunpei, holding his book, smiled shyly amidst the applause of the guests. Tajima Kazuo kindly took his hand and guided him to the center of the stage.

"Welcome, Mr. Nara Shunpei!"

After introducing this episode's special guest, Nara Shunpei, into the room, Tajima Kazuo asked, just like a regular host, "Um, Mr. Shunpei, what book are you holding in your hand?"
