The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Mmm... Ah... Ya..."

The light faded, and what appeared before Alex and Beast Master was no longer the resolute man Alex knew, but a beautiful, red-haired mature woman with a large bust, a slender waist, and long legs.

"Haruto?!"

"it's me!"

The mage, who had just nodded, suddenly realized that his voice sounded a little off. He looked at the dressing mirror placed at the entrance of the shop, his expression gradually froze, and his mouth slowly opened.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"What a cute girl!"

With a look of infatuation in his eyes, Beast Master's face broke into a stalker's smile.

"Snapped!"

Miku slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "This is a huge problem. No, I absolutely can't let them know I did it, otherwise..."

Miku couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the consequences of being exposed. Without attracting anyone's attention, he found a secluded spot to deactivate his transformation and hurriedly went downstairs to find Iggy.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Miku, who was still mooching free dog food from the pet food counter, was lifted onto the dog and made to run towards the East District.

On the way, Miku, who was taking a shortcut by turning into a forest, encountered the White Demon, who had obviously been waiting for a long time—Fimukou!

"Oh, what brings you to me?"

Miku, who casually greeted the White Demon, straightened up from Iggy's back. The White Demon, with his hands hanging at his sides, stared coldly at Miku and Iggy.

"What were you doing just now?"

“Me?” Miku, wagging his tail, turned his head away and said, “I didn’t do anything, just took the dog for a walk, right, Iggy!”

"Wang!"

Iggy barked in perfect unison, while the White Demon remained silent, still coldly staring at Miku.

"Tsk, what a doting father!"

Miku clicked his tongue in amazement, realizing that the White Demon must have witnessed everything that had just happened—his attack on Alex and Medusa's actions. The White Demon had definitely seen it all.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Miku, his face solemn, stared indifferently at the White Demon before him. The White Demon slowly slipped on a ring. "You should know that everything you have is given to you by me. Whether it's your ring, your driver, or your right to live, it's all given to you by me!"

"Therefore, pets should have the self-awareness of pets!"

"Gravity Now!"

A tan magic circle appeared as the White Demon placed his hand on the driver at his waist, and the gravity-controlling magic circle flew rapidly toward Miku.

"Tsk, how arrogant!"

Miku used all her strength to jump to the side, simultaneously kicking Iggy aside.

“Drive On!”

Miku, having manifested the driver, moved his tail and placed it on the driver at his waist: "Wild Start!"

Miku, who willingly passed through the red magic circle, transformed into a knight. However, under the control of the White Demon, an earth-yellow magic circle appeared above his head, and a mountain-like weight was unleashed upon him.

"boom!"

The sudden pressure created a deep crater beneath Miku's feet. Struggling to keep from kneeling, Miku coldly snorted, "Everything I have belongs to me; nothing was given to me by you!"

"Oh, it seems I need to teach you a lesson about your duties as a pet!"

The white demon pressed down with his palm, increasing the output of magic power. The surging gravity distorted the air and pressed Miku into the soil, but even so, Miku still held his head high.

"A pet's duty?" Miku, struggling to slip a ring onto her left middle finger, slowly raised her head. "Don't talk to yourself. I've never been a pet!"

After giving the White Demon the middle finger, Miku awkwardly placed his hand on his waist.

"Jungle Start!"

A magic circle composed of various elements spun through Miku's body. Miku, now in his jungle form, raised an arm, and several roots rose from the ground, burrowing into the earthen-yellow magic circle to draw upon its magical power.

"Is this what you rely on to defy me?"

The White Mage clearly expressed his disdain for Miku's jungle form. As a White Mage who could go toe-to-toe with a mage without the Brilliant Axe, Miku's jungle form was indeed somewhat lacking.

Of course, if he were willing to use his own power, then it would definitely be the White Demon on the other side who would fall down.

But that would completely disrupt his plans!

"I really want to smash that mask to pieces!" Miku gritted his teeth and suddenly shattered the magic circle above his head. He then shook his wrist, suppressing the urge to beat up his opponent.

"Well, this guy likes to play, so I'll play with him properly!"

Drawing the Holy Sword of Physics from his lower back, Miku strode towards the White Demon. He then retrieved the flute-shaped sword—Hamor's Staff.

"Who gave you the courage to defy me?" The White Demon snorted heavily as he blocked Miku's physics-based holy sword strike. "Was it that woman who made the ring?"

"you guess!"

As Miku kicked out with his right foot, his long tail simultaneously coiled towards the White Demon, and the White Demon, with a sudden grip on Hamor's staff, unleashed a powerful sonic wave.

"Oh!"

With the sudden burst of sound waves, Miku, who was thrown back, flew a distance before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, the gap between my magic and his is too big now."

Miku took out the parasitic ring, put it on, and casually placed it on his waist. "Parasitism Start!"

"boom!"

Miku, having shattered the magic circle before her with the holy sword of physics, flicked the hem of her skirt, creating a gust of wind that blew all the light dust from the parasitic seeds toward the White Demon.

"A trivial skill!"

The White Mage, having changed his ring, placed his hand on his waist. "Explosion Now!"

A golden magic circle blocked the path of the light dust and quickly released a small subspace to detonate it.

"boom!"

The shockwave and flames forcibly annihilated all the light dust, but that wasn't the end of it. The White Demon, who had placed his hand on his waist again, set up several golden magic circles in front of Miku.

Damn it!

Unable to dodge in time, Miku was engulfed by the burst of fire, the shockwave spreading in all directions and stirring up large clouds of smoke and dust.

"Wrath Start!"

The smoke and dust were mixed with the roars and cries of wild beasts.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as several sharp roots tore through the smoke and dust, piercing towards the White Demon like thunderbolts.

"clang!"

The White Demon, wielding Hamor's staff, tried to shatter the roots that had already reached him, but the collision of the blade and the roots produced a sound like metal clashing against stone.

"They're really tenacious!"

The White Demon, who had murmured his praise, suddenly slashed out with the flute sword in his hand, and a huge golden sword aura pulverized all the roots in front of him.

"To be honest, your growth has far exceeded my expectations. You are the first person who has grown to this level as a non-human being. I would call you the strongest among animals!"

"Ha, who needs your acknowledgment!" Miku's slightly weary voice came from the smoke and dust. "But thanks to your arrogance, I succeeded!"

"what?"

Suddenly, the roots clinging to the White Demon's legs contracted downwards, pulling the White Demon into the mud. In the process, even more roots and vines wrapped around it.

"Sooner or later I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"

Stumbling out of the dust, Miku created several roots to wrap around Ichi, and he did the same to himself.

Miku and Iggy, who had sunk to the ground, quickly left the forest. A few seconds later, the ground suddenly exploded, and as dirt and gravel flew everywhere, the White Demon revealed himself.

"Did they run away?"

The White Demon, who was holding a sword in his right hand, tapped the sword twice with his left hand: "Alright, the purpose of the warning has been fully achieved. Alex's ring has been taken, and we'll have to go get it back!"

The White Demon turned and left the now-ravaged forest.

On the other side, at Serena's mansion.

Serena, who was enjoying her morning in the pavilion, suddenly put down her teacup and ran towards the flower field, which had two deep pits, one large and one small.

Miku lay unconscious at the edge of the pit, while Iqi paced anxiously around him.

As soon as Serena approached, Iggy, with a fierce glint in his eyes, stood between Miku and Serena, silently parting his lips and lowering his tail.

Chapter 29 (2) The Female-Style Mage

Silently raising the corners of his lips to reveal his gleaming white teeth, Iggy's eyes flashed with a fierce light from time to time. His limbs gripped the ground tightly, his tail drooped naturally, and the muscles all over his body slowly tensed up.

Upon seeing Iggy in such a state for the first time, Serena unconsciously took a step back. For some reason, facing Iggy, a husky who was usually quite silly, Serena always felt as if she were facing a ferocious wolf king.

After being startled by Iggy, Serena recovered and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You, and I've always been so good to you!"

"Get out of the way, let me see his condition!"

After staring silently at Serena for a few seconds, Iggy slowly moved to the side, but his eyes remained fixed on Serena.

Serena reached out and picked Miku up, nearly twisting her back in the process of underestimating Miku's size.

"I never would have guessed that something so small could be so heavy."

Miku lay in Serena's arms with her eyes closed. Serena hurriedly carried the cat into the house and began to examine it. However, after examining it over and over, she was surprised to find that the cat in front of her was not as "delicate" as a typical house cat.

Instead, his entire body was covered with firm and elastic muscles, and his hair was as smooth as silk.

Moreover, its long tail was far superior to that of an ordinary house cat, and Miku's breathing was long and deep, which amazed Serena, who had studied related knowledge before.

If it weren't for the fact that it was indeed a cat in front of her, Serena would have thought she was examining a tiger!

"This is really strange, this guy's physical strength seems to be even stronger than a tiger's!"
