The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Chapter Thirty-Nine: On a Dark and Windy Night, I Came to See the Stars!

"Hey, hello!"

Noticing the stiff expression on Inamori Misa's face, although she had some doubts, she still greeted her normally.

After all, Misa Inamori and Medusa are the same person, only their temperaments are different.

If Medusa is an oleander, then this one is a sunflower.

He exudes youthfulness and warmth!

"Mmm... Ah!"

Misa Inamori, her complexion now back to normal, nodded hesitantly. Seeing this, Sister Fa didn't press the matter further, but instead explained with a smile, "Mayu ran into some trouble on the way, and I felt it was a bit unsafe for a young girl like her, so I brought her back!"

"Thank you so much. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

The question and answer were just like any other person's, which only deepened Sister Fa's doubts, but she didn't show it on her face at all and nodded, saying, "I'll gladly accept your offer!"

"Please come in!"

With her arm around Mayu Inamori, Misa Inamori made way for her sister, and she walked into the house.

"Crack!"

With a soft click, the door closed.

After sending Mayu Inamori upstairs to change her clothes, Misa Inamori led her sister to the living room and went to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks by herself.

Sitting on the sofa, Sister Fa looked around the living room. A photo on the table next to the main sofa caught her eye.

"What is this?"

Sister Fa walked over, picked up the photo, and examined the family in the picture carefully.

The Inamori sisters, their faces beaming with smiles, nestled close to their parents, creating a heartwarming scene.

Inside the kitchen, Misa Inamori's expression kept changing.

Her gentle expression shifted to coldness, then back to gentleness, changing constantly. Medusa glanced coldly at the sorceress in the living room and clicked her tongue, "Troublesome sorceress!"

"boom!"

Medusa, who had knocked over the teacup with a swing of her arm, fell to the ground with a scream.

"what happened?"

In the room on the second floor, Mayu Inamori, who had just changed her clothes, rushed out of the room, while Sister Ho, who was in the living room, also came to the kitchen to see what was going on.

In the not-so-large kitchen, shards of teacups were scattered all over the floor, and red tea was spilling everywhere. Sitting on the floor, Inamori Misa stared at her hands with a pale face and a look of fear on her face.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong?"

Just as Sister Fa entered the kitchen, she was pushed aside by Mayu Inamori, who arrived a beat later, and went to Misa Inamori's side to help her up.

"I am fine."

With a forced smile on her pale face, Inamori Misa grabbed her sister's arm, trying to stand up, but fell back to the ground several times.

Are you feeling unwell, sister?

"I'm fine, but be careful of the broken pieces on the ground, don't get hurt!"

Upon seeing this scene, Sister Fa frowned; this was not what she had expected. Mayu Inamori, helping her sister out of the kitchen, sat her on the sofa in the living room and quickly grabbed a towel to wipe the water off her sister.

Law stood by with her arms crossed, watching. After settling her sister in, Mayu Inamori, a usually shy girl, showed her tough side for the first time.

Holding onto her sister's sleeve, Mayu Inamori saw her out the door.

"My sister isn't feeling well today, so I'm sorry I didn't entertain you properly. Please leave now!"

After saying that, Mayu Inamori closed the door and went to the kitchen to clean up the mess in her slippers, while Sister Ho awkwardly touched her nose outside the door.

"Forget it, let's observe for a while first!"

As she turned to leave, Sister Fa put her hands behind her back. The moment she saw Inamori Misa, she was certain that the woman in front of her was Medusa, whom she had fought before. However, all the signs that the other woman had shown just now gave off an unusual and subtle feeling.

Especially since the other party's concern for Inamori Mayu's younger sister is genuine. If it were a pretense, it would be quite unlikely that they could go to such lengths to deceive even themselves!

"What exactly is wrong?"

.......

Inside Serena's Gothic villa in Torii-Bantō Ward.

Having just dried his fur, Miku's coat was now very fluffy, making him look just like a little lion with its fur standing on end.

After turning off the pet hairdryer, Miku strolled over and found Serena. He had many questions about the ring.

In the tea room, Serena, with incense burning, leaned against the tea table, holding a yellowed book in her hand.

But to Miku, this scene just didn't look right.

In short, it's a matter of art style!

"If you want the new ring, go get it from the secret room yourself. I just saw something exciting here!"

Without even looking up, Serena licked her fingers and turned the page.

"I wanted to ask about that memory ring." Miku jumped onto the table, curled up an empty teacup with her tail, and skillfully poured herself a cup of fragrant tea.

The habits of smoking and drinking tea from my past life are now the only ones I have left. I'll just drink tea to pass the time when I'm bored. After all, a cat's mouth leaks air, so I don't have the means to smoke, and it's bad for my health anyway!

"Who did you give that ring to?"

After hearing Miku's words, Serena raised her head warily: "You haven't gotten into trouble again, have you?"

"Probably, maybe, probably!"

Miku felt a little guilty as her eyes involuntarily darted away. After all, considering Medusa's situation, it seemed to be relatively normal... right?

"Just tell me directly what you did with that ring and how much magic you used!"

"I used it to separate a guy's memories, to perform a minor personality dissociation surgery."

"A minor surgery?!" Serena's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she forgot all about the book in her hands, asking seriously, "How much magic did you use?"

"Probably only about one-third..."

"one third?"

Two-thirds!

"Boom!"

Serena slammed her fist on the table, straightening up slightly, her face grim. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted your principles so easily. That ring isn't just a simple memory alteration!"

"What is that!?"

Miku, asking in a low voice, turned to look at Iggy, who had slipped in, and sipped the tea in his cup.

"In short, the ring was not originally called Memory, but Mind Flayer. Just like the legendary Mind Flayer, it has the power to alter people's minds. Someone even used it to control a small country."

"Later, someone recycled and modified it, and it became the memory ring it is today. After several changes of hands, it finally ended up in my hands. I originally thought it was a good choice for you to take care of it, but I never expected that you would cause an innocent person to suffer from schizophrenia."

"But that thing isn't human, it's a Phantom!"

Miku, who had just given a quiet explanation, saw Serena's serious expression vanish instantly, and her straight posture relax once more.

"Oh, then there's no problem!"

Miku was both amused and exasperated by Serena's reaction. "Your reaction is so different before and after!"

So weirdos don't have human rights?!

Although she had a lot of complaints in her mind, Miku felt relieved after understanding Medusa's condition.

I was afraid that I would completely drive the other person insane, but judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem so bad.

Medusa isn't just too immersed in the role; this little vixen is completely unable to escape it!

"In that case..."

Miku, his eyes gleaming, hadn't finished speaking when Iggy, standing beside him, stuck out his tongue and licked him. Miku, whose fur, freshly blown dry, was now covered in saliva, and his face darkened.

"It's okay, I'm not angry. This is my dog, I'm not angry!"

"Glug, glug..."

The teacup was swallowed by Iggy's tongue, and Miku, whose forehead had several black lines, narrowed his eyes.

"Iggy, prepare to die!"

Night falls at the Inamori residence.

Mayu Inamori lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, her mind replaying the events of the day.

"I have a feeling something's off about my sister!"

Mayu Inamori, who was muttering to herself, suddenly got up from the bed because she heard strange footsteps outside the door.

"Is that you, sister?"

Mayu Inamori got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and went to the door to check. She opened the door, only to find that it was pitch black outside. Even the nightlight in the hallway was out for some reason.

"what happened?"

Feeling puzzled, Mayu Inamori picked up her phone, turned on the screen, and, using the faint light from the screen, walked downstairs step by step.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Another set of footsteps sounded, again from behind Mayu Inamori.

"call..."

Feeling as if someone breathed a cold air on the back of her neck, Mayu Inamori involuntarily shrank her neck.

"Who is there?"

Mayu Inamori, who spoke, didn't even notice the inexplicable tremor in her voice. She cautiously turned around to check, but saw no sign of it.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return to her room, a figure a head taller than her stood quietly behind her.

"Snapped!"
