The Strange Cat from Fuuto

A sun-like halo emanated from the interface, and as countless emerald green hexagons stretched out, Miku once again became that hunched-back beast. But this time, his scarlet eyes were not filled with cruelty as before, but with a touch of peace!

Miku's mental transformation finally allowed him to take a big step forward in controlling this body, and now the wild factors in his cat body have a much smaller impact on him.

After being stroked several times by the old man, Miku impatiently rushed out of the window and headed straight for Philip, following the inexplicable connection he felt within his body.

But after tracking for half a day, Miku only found himself aimlessly circling around Wind City, with no trace of Philip. Perched atop a high-rise building, Miku looked down at the crowds below and scratched his chin with his left hand.

"Where are we going to find them?!"

Miku, who was having some doubts, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Why do I have to find someone? I can just go to their office!" After some effort, Miku found a map of Fuuto and ran as fast as he could along the marked locations. In just a few minutes, he arrived in front of a shop that held a secret.

"Seagull Billiards Room!"

"Didn't you say it was an agency?!"

Miku, having found the place, was somewhat puzzled, but he still found a comfortable spot to hide. All he had to do now was wait for Philip's runaway knowledge train to appear automatically!

While waiting, Miku wasn't idle. According to his senses, Philip's location was elusive. If he didn't know that Philip was currently hiding in Narumi's office, he would probably still be running around aimlessly in Fuuto like a headless fly!

"It seems that Philip's mother has put a lot of effort into hiding Philip!"

The most important reason why Miku couldn't find Philip's location was that Philip's mother, the masked woman, had installed some kind of device in the agency to obscure Philip's location and disrupt Miku's perception of him!

Miku lay on the roof of the office, hands behind his head, legs crossed, slowly waiting for Philip to come out.

Finally, the door beneath him creaked open, a faint sound that, to Miku's ears, was undoubtedly a deafening roar. Staring at Philip's retreating figure, Miku scratched his chin, a hint of amusement flickering in his crimson eyes.

"A thirst for knowledge is both your strength and your weakness!"

With a light leap, he closely followed Philippe de Micous and finally arrived at a landmark in the Windy City—Place de la Ville.

There were already people waiting there: a young man and a young woman, radiating youthful energy and dressed in casual clothes, with a black media player in front of them.

As the music started, the two began to dance. Although it was unclear what they were doing, the cheerful music and the smiles on their faces made Miku feel exceptionally comfortable. Hiding to the side, his tiger tail swayed gently behind him.

But then, a sudden change occurred. A manhole cover next to Inamoto Dango and Hoshino Chizuru popped out, and Hoshino Chizuru was caught in the crossfire as the popped-out cover hit her leg.

"Chizuru, Chizuru, are you alright?!"

Inamoto Dango looked anxiously at his dance partner, while Hoshino Chizuru painfully touched the spot where she had been hit, her expression contorted as she said, "My leg is injured, I probably won't be able to complete the Elysium Tornado!"

"It's not just an estimate, it's a prediction that it will never be completed!"

"Hoshino Chizuru!"

I'm going to execute you!

With a face completely resembling a cockroach, Ikari jumped out of the sewer with a chilling tone, rubbing his fists and charging towards Hoshino Chizuru, who was lying on the ground.

"Don't even think about hurting Chizuru!"

The hot-blooded young Inamoto Dango lunged forward, but how could a mortal body fight against a hybrid? With just a casual push, Inamoto Dango was sent flying.

Watching everything unfold on the field, Miku thought impatiently, "When will the real show begin?!" Just then, Miku's eyes lit up. The roar of a motorcycle rang out, and Shotaro, driving a half-black, half-green motorcycle, executed a beautiful drift, sending the cockroach-like hybrid Igarashi flying.

"Cyclone, Joker!"

"Transform!"

With the fighting amplification from the Ace Memory, Kamen Rider W easily suppressed the Cockroach Dopant. Especially after Philip understood the key to Elysium Tornado—rhythm—the situation on the field became overwhelming!

Just as W and the Cockroach Doppelganger were locked in fierce combat, everyone on the field was focused on the two. It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided beating for the Cockroach Doppelganger! Especially after Shotaro retrieved the four memories that the Cockroach Doppelganger had previously stolen, the Cockroach Doppelganger was not far from having its memories shatter.

In the square, Philip's body lay there all alone. Akiko only looked at W, neglecting to watch over Philip's body.

With a light leap, Miku picked up Philip's body and ran. As the saying goes, you can run away but you can't hide. After Philip's consciousness leaves his body and he transforms, his consciousness will always return, regardless of distance.

So, what kind of expression would he have when he woke up and found himself facing a room full of officials?

As Miku grew more and more excited, he moved his legs faster and faster, but running on two legs was still slower than running on all fours. A mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex with a blue and white memory chip inside its body forced Miku to stop.

"Roar!"

Miku's expression was not good as he looked at the fanged memory that was roaring at him with its mouth wide open, though the mask concealed it.

"Damn it, why did I forget about this!" Miku, who was determined to capture Philip to change the plot, was annoyed, not only by the Fang Memories blocking his way, but also by his own oversight.

"You can't just blindly believe the plot!"

Miku protected Philip on his shoulder with his left hand, feeling somewhat helpless as he faced the petite fanged memory. Although the other party couldn't cause him any real harm, if he was kept in this state, he would end up with nothing when W arrived!

A roar interrupted Miku's thoughts. Turning around, he saw Shotaro and his companion W riding a motorcycle towards him. Seeing their aggressive appearance, Miku knew that this matter was not going to end well today!

When he turned around again, the Fang Memory was long gone. "Damn it, a memory is smarter than a person!" Miku cursed under his breath, then dropped Philip's body and disappeared from W's sight, leaving a trail of afterimages on all fours.

Chapter 5: Akiko, I'll remember you!

"Miku, give me back my memory!"

Sonozaki Kirihiko's roar echoed throughout the entire Sonozaki mansion. The once elegant and calm Sonozaki Kirihiko had completely lost his former charm.

With his tattered suit, disheveled hair, and several claw marks on his face, he looked exactly like a shrew. It was only his strong self-control and upbringing that prevented him from unleashing a torrent of abuse.

Miku, the instigator, carried a golden memory in his mouth, his four short legs moving swiftly, squeezing into any narrow space. With his agile physique, Miku thoroughly toyed with Sonozaki Kirihiko, the son-in-law of the Sonozaki family, leaving him visibly frustrated.

Finally, the chase came to an end. Miku sat crouched on the rooftop, looking down at the panting Sonozaki Kirihiko. This was the first time in history that Sonozaki Kirihiko had looked so disheveled.

"Alright, Miku!" Sonozaki Kirihiko wore her signature smile, hoping to appease the mischievous cat on the roof. "Give me back the Nazca Memory!"

"Here you go. You want me to spit out what's already in my mouth?"

"dream!"

Miku rolled her eyes at Sonozaki Kirihiko, then lay down on the roof, her body resting on the cool, dark blue tiles. In this hot weather, the tiles beneath her felt wonderfully comfortable.

"Fine, I'm going to stick with you here today!"

Sonozaki Kirihiko realized that the cat was just teasing him, so he decided not to chase it anymore and just wait there to see who would give in first! With that thought, Sonozaki Kirihiko called over the servants and asked them to prepare a chair, a table, a parasol, and some sweets and cold drinks for him!

A short while later, Sonozaki Kirihiko sat down in a chair, holding a cup of black tea, looking at Miku on the roof with a contented expression, his face still bearing that signature smug smile.

"Ah!"

Miku sneered inwardly and placed his claws on the Nazca Memory. Although Sonozaki Kirihiko below couldn't see clearly, he knew what Miku was doing. He could only chuckle. To use a Memory, one must have a compatibility with the corresponding Memory. Without compatibility, one wouldn't gain power and would be corrupted by the Memory itself. Even with the Earth Driver, Miku wasn't someone who could use the Nazca Memory; his perfect compatibility was with the Saber-toothed Tiger! As for the Nazca Memory, if he used it, he'd probably turn into a half-cat, half-bird monster.

Having figured it out, Sonozaki Kirihiko stopped caring and continued drinking his black tea and eating his sweets. But the next moment, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by an expression that looked like he'd eaten shit!

“Na... ...

"NAS...NAS...NAS...NAS...NAS...NAS...KA!"

"Nazca...Nazca...Nazca...Nazca..."

Nazkamiku kept pressing the buttons, a malicious smile on his face. Although he couldn't use it himself, he wanted to know about the Memory Kain 100 Style!

Trying to compete with me? Your standards are way too high!

Miku, who was playing with the Nazca Memory like a toy, got a little carried away. This is a common trait among felines. Sometimes, once a cat gets excited, its owner is no longer needed!

"Miku!"

Sonozaki Kirihiko's loud roar once again echoed throughout the entire mansion, so loud that it was heartbreaking to hear and brought tears to the eyes of all who saw it!

The old man inside spilled the tea he had just picked up all over himself because of Sonozaki Kirihiko's roar. A maid hurriedly brought him a handkerchief to wipe his clothes. As the maid helped him wipe his clothes, the old man couldn't help but wonder, "Was it really the right thing to let this wretched son-in-law and daughter stay at home?" But thinking of his own plan, he gave up the idea of ​​letting Saeko and Kirihiko move out and could only sigh in his heart.

"Miku is the easiest to deal with!"

Miku, who was being praised by the old man, was unaware that his status in the old man's heart had risen again. At this moment, he was shrouded in a shadow. When he looked up, he saw a woman in a black and white maid outfit holding a mop and standing behind him with a malicious smile.

Holy crap!

"Akiko!"

Startled by Akiko's sudden appearance, Miku slipped, and the memory device at her feet fell to the ground.

"Snapped!"

Kirihiko removed the Nazca Memory from his face, and as his nose twitched, blood began to flow. Wiping away the blood, he glared at Miku with hatred, turned and left, resolving in his heart to stay far away from this wicked cat from now on.

"Kitty!"

Seeing Akiko's ill intentions, Miku turned and ran, but Akiko caught him in her arms before he could. "You stupid woman with no brains!" But all those words were just meows that could soften even the hardest heart in Akiko's ears!

Miku, who had hated himself for not being able to speak for the first time, was dragged into the house by Akiko like a sack of potatoes, looking utterly hopeless. What awaited him there was a cat food bowl that exuded a terrifying aura!

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

Miku instinctively sensed that the contents of the cat food bowl were of no benefit to her, and struggled desperately against Akiko's embrace. However, this silly woman, though small in stature, was surprisingly strong. Despite kicking and thrashing for a while, Miku could not break free and could only watch as the cat food bowl, emanating a dark aura, drew closer and closer to her!

"Akiko, what are you doing?!"

A stern voice suddenly rang out from behind Akiko, who was startled by the sudden shout. Miku took the opportunity to run away, glancing gratefully at the person beneath the maid's long robe as she passed by.

"I'll remember this favor, Head Maid!"

When Akiko saw that all Miku looked like in her eyes was a round butt, she grabbed a mop and a cat food bowl and chased after Miku. The poor middle-aged head maid was knocked around in circles by Akiko's clumsy actions and almost fell over.

"Sorry, Head Maid!" After turning back to apologize to the head maid, whose eyes were still darting around, Akiko charged after Miku's retreating figure with renewed fury. "Stop, little kitty!"

"In the courtyard, Miku, who was hiding in the flower bed, had his butt exposed and was shivering all over. Outside, Akiko was still yelling. Suddenly, Miku felt a chill on his anus and was dragged out of the flower bed. He clung to the ground and left light white claw marks on the stone flower bed surface."

"Come on, let's eat, little kitty!"

Miku, looking like a pervert, resisted fiercely, saying, "I'd rather die than eat this!" But the lively and carefree Akiko ignored Miku's thoughts and pressed her round cat head into the overflowing cat food bowl.

"Yasuko, I'll remember you!"

Under Akiko's coercion, Miku experienced firsthand what it meant to be forced to drink water. After tasting Akiko's cat food, Miku felt a chill run down his spine, and then he saw a bird-man with long chicken wings waving at him from the sky.

"This guy looks like a noob!"

Chapter Six: The Three Principles of the Madoka Family

"Narumi!"

How could you be so rude?

Beneath her maid's long gown, a stern face reprimanded Akiko, who kept her head down, but her facial expressions were anything but appropriate, instead being all sorts of funny.

The row of maids standing nearby all gave Akiko a gloating and mocking look. "Not only did you offend Miss Wakana, but you also made Lord Miku look so haggard!"
