The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Come with me!"

White Demon grabbed Inamori Mayu's arm and activated his teleportation ability. Two magic circles passed through them, taking them to another dimension.

"Damn it, white magician!" Medusa, whose face was contorted with anger, suddenly paused, "Isn't this just like what that cat said?"

Medusa, a hint of doubt in her eyes, staggered back two steps and sat down on the sofa.

...........

Inside a luxury residential building in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

"What a rich dog!"

Miku, perched on the back of the sofa, overlooks the dazzling night view of Tokyo. Not only can he see the Tokyo Tower under reconstruction, but he can also see the Osaka Bridge and Tokyo Skytree, which are also two of the three major night views of Tokyo.

While enjoying panoramic views of Tokyo's three most famous nightscapes, Miku was also curious about how much the house had cost.

"It's alright, this apartment only cost less than two billion yen back then." Serena stood next to Miku, holding a cup of hot tea. On the ring finger of her right hand was a contract ring, proof of the bond she had formed with the magician.

"If the villa in the East District hadn't burned down, I really wouldn't have known you owned a mansion here!"

With a playful expression, Miku jumped off the sofa. This apartment building has three entrance halls, and the entrance hall for welcoming guests alone has a space of 45 square meters. You could say they are truly the wicked rich!

However, this cat doesn't even look at itself. Not only does it come from a prestigious family, but it has also been recognized as a real family member, not just a pet.

The construction of the former Sonozaki mansion alone cost the old man one-third of his initial funding application.

Furthermore, in Japan, social status and origin are determined by surnames.

"Fine, there's nothing more to say to you, you big dog owner. I'll just use this party room; it's spacious and perfect for walking the dogs!"

After glancing around the party room, Miku lazily sprawled on the sofa. Ever since he kicked the Phoenix, his bad luck seemed to have vanished as well.

Not only did no bad luck occur, but they even found a 10,000 yen bill outside.

His current luck has not only offset the strong luck he had when he forcibly stole the magic gem, but has also slightly exceeded the normal range.

"Well, as long as you like it."

Serena took a sip of hot tea without saying much, while Iggy ran wildly from the entrance, glanced at Miku in the party room, and let out an excited howl: "Awoo!"

"Alright, alright, go have fun!"

After getting Miku's approval, Iggy ran off again. The area for guests to play alone was over 100 square meters, so the dog could have a great time!

"Speaking of which, today seems to be the day the TV station is broadcasting about the meteor shower!" Serena suddenly said, which startled Miku. To be honest, he hadn't taken it to heart.

"Tonight?"

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the night sky outside the window behind Miku, and this was only the prelude.

"It's started!" Serena said softly, looking out the window. "It's beautiful!"

"Let me see!"

Miku jumped back onto the sofa and looked out the window at the night sky. As the first shooting star set the stage, more and more shooting stars began to streak across the deep blue night sky.

Several shooting stars left faint trails in the night sky, and Miku's eyes reflected the starlight. Seeing this, Serena beside her smiled slightly.

At a campsite on the outskirts of Tokyo.

"Wow, coming here was definitely the right choice!"

The young man wearing glasses craned his neck to look at the meteor shower in the night sky, his eyes filled with fascination at the beautiful scene.

"That shooting star was so bright!"

A dazzling starlight began to shine in the young man's vision, growing larger and larger until a fierce firelight came into view.

"Why is it suddenly so bright?!"

"A shooting star is coming!"

Following the location where the meteor had fallen, the young man took a flashlight from the tent and went after it.

"boom!"

After the meteor landed, it left a huge crater in the ground.

The soil in the deep pit was churning and rolled up, with a diameter of more than ten meters. White smoke rose from the pit due to the high temperature, and some flames were still burning.

The young man, panting heavily, struggled to climb to the edge of the deep pit. Amidst the rising white smoke, a dazzling starlight suddenly shone.

......

Inside a grotto in the woods outside Torii-zaka.

Having just settled Inamori Mayu in, Fueki Kanade, who had returned to be the mascot, hadn't even warmed up her blankets yet.

He suddenly opened his eyes, got out of bed, and quickly went outside the cave. Transformed into the sage Cabonkru, he looked up at a certain place on the outskirts of Tokyo.

"This feeling is..." With a look of horror in her eyes, Fueki Kanade carefully sensed the aftershocks of magic emanating from that direction: "What kind of magic gemstone could produce such a magical reaction!"

With a troubled mind, Fueki Kanade thought of the blue cat that he hated so much. "I can't stay the same. I need to get new power so that I can perfectly suppress Misaki Haruto and Miku. Otherwise, the Witch's Banquet and my plans may face huge problems!"

Having made up his mind, Di Muzan slowly returned to the cave and began to think about corresponding countermeasures.

Cabonkru, an artificial Phantom created by Diemu using science and magic, has the ability to create magic gems. The blue furnace on his chest was created for this purpose, but it also gives him the ability to sense magic gems over a wide area.

However, this guy never really used it; he usually relied on his own abilities to create magic gems.

But today's magical fluctuations completely shocked him. The mere magical aftershocks from the appearance of the magic gem were enough to stir his mind, which shows just how powerful this magic gem is.

"If such a magic gem could be used by me, then..."

The low murmurs gradually faded into inaudibility within the cave, while Medusa, far away in Torii-zaka, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Is the Sage summoning me?"

.......

In an apartment under Serena's name, Beast Master had just finished a call with his grandmother back in Fukui. Her attitude remained unchanged, which made him frown angrily.

"Grandma is really something, can't she consider my feelings more?"

Beast Master, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly went dark. When he came back to light, he found himself in his own inner world.

The three-headed, lizard-tailed chimera looked down at him. Knowing that he had been dragged there by the chimera, the beastman said irritably, "What is it now? I've been feeding you properly lately!"

"Kousuke Nito, you have fulfilled your duties as a servant very well during this time, and I am very satisfied with your performance recently!"

"Tch, you're as arrogant as ever!"

Beastmaster clicked his tongue and crossed his arms, waiting for Chimera to continue. This guy wasn't the type to praise people for no reason; there must be something he wanted from bringing him in.

"Just now, I sensed a powerful surge of magical energy. I need you to find the source of this energy!"

"Huh?" The beast master, mouth agape, said reluctantly, "I'm already exhausted just finding food for you, and you want me to find some magic gem? Aren't you just deliberately making trouble for me?"

After hearing what Beastmaster said, the Chimera snorted disdainfully: "I've seen all the food lately. Those Phantoms were all caught for you by that cat!"

"You should know that you are the Beast, a mage, not some useless trash waiting to be fed in a zoo!"

"And then, if I don't rely on him, and instead try to find the Phantom on my own?"

"I'll be devoured by you!"

"Kousuke Nito, you must know that there are no beasts in this world that don't eat people. The moment you and I became one, your future destiny was already revealed!" The chimera roared as it straightened up. "Now go and find that magic gem. I will provide you with magic power!"

"And don't you want to get rid of me sooner?"

The chimera leaned closer and whispered, "If you get that magic gem, you'll have a much better chance of asking me for a favor!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Beast Master's face.

On the rooftop of the Mianying Hall, Fa Jie and her group, who had just finished watching the Leonid meteor shower, were chatting excitedly as they walked downstairs. But Fa Jie suddenly stopped and looked towards the outskirts of the city.

Just a moment ago, she sensed a massive and vast fluctuation of magical power.

"What's wrong, Haruko?" Alex asked with concern, noticing that Fa-nee was acting strangely. Fa-nee smiled and shook her head, saying, "Nothing!"

"Let's go down!"

Just as all parties reacted to the magic gem, Miku in Serena's upscale apartment shuddered the instant the magical energy fluctuations spread.

"what happened to you?"

"I feel something drawing me in!" Miku murmured, gazing towards the outskirts of the city, his eyes sparkling with starlight.

Chapter 54: No matter whose it is, if I want it, it's mine!

Three days later, at dawn.

Miku, who was fast asleep, was suddenly shaken awake by Serena. Still half-asleep, Miku bared her teeth in annoyance: "What do you want to do so early in the morning?"

"Are you not going to live a normal life anymore?"

"Take a look at this!"

Serena, who was showing Miku the tablet that was playing the news, pointed to a gem the size of an adult's fist on the screen.

Miku, who had just glanced at it, suddenly widened his eyes: "Why is there a Magic Gem in the news?!"

The tablet was broadcasting the morning news. The news anchor pointed seriously to a picture of a gem on the screen next to him and said, "This gem was discovered in a meteorite that suddenly fell near Tokyo during the Leonid meteor shower. The discoverer said that the gem was rediscovered at the height of the Leonid meteor shower!"

"Why a meteorite might contain a gemstone remains to be studied and interpreted by relevant experts."

Next to the female host, a picture of a gemstone shows a deep blue magic gemstone. The gemstone contains countless tiny spots, which shimmer like a myriad of stars when illuminated by sunlight.

After staring at the picture for a long time, Miku suddenly spoke up: "This thing is mine!"

"what?"

Serena, puzzled, touched Miku's forehead, then her own: "You don't seem to have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"No matter whose it is now, once I see it, it's mine!"

Miku, who was spouting very unreasonable words, got up from the sofa and stretched vigorously.

Do you have any tools for crafting magic gems in your safe house?

"Why are you asking this?" Serena turned off the tablet and put it aside, but quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "You're not planning to steal it, are you?!"

Do you have any comments?
