The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"My heart is too small to hold the whole world; it can only hold the people I care about!"

"And for them, I am willing to stain my hands with blood!"

"Is this your true heart?" Fa Jie asked, her voice tinged with complex emotions. She felt Miku's heartbeat behind her. Miku nodded and said, "That's right. The only one who can bear everything for them is me, and it can only be me!"

After the man and the cat finished their conversation, the White Demon slowly walked a few steps in front of them and stopped.

"A beast is a beast indeed; it will bite people indiscriminately without any regard for consequences!"

The white demon, coldly watching Miku, silently clenched the longsword in his hand, his magic slowly flowing down his arm into Hamor's staff.

"A beast?" Miku said with a mocking tone but a deeper meaning, "Who is the beast is still uncertain."

"What do you think, Mr. Fueki!"

Chapter 57: She is not human, she is a puppet!

"What do you think, Mr. Fueki?"

As Miku spoke, Shiro Modi Muzou's expression changed several times, but in the end he let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect you to have found out this far!"

"Then we have to keep you here even more!" The White Demon thought to himself, unconsciously tightening his grip on Hamor's staff.

"Well, I actually know more than that. There's even more!" Miku said meaningfully, hiding behind the magician. The calmer the White Demon appeared, the more surging the killing intent in her heart was.

How cold-hearted this old man is can be seen from Medusa's experience. He had just told her that she was his most capable and valued subordinate, but then he betrayed her and pushed her into the abyss of despair.

The fact that this old man could make the Phantom shed tears shows how hard-hearted he is.

Moreover, even though the faint killing intent emanating from the other party was very weak, Miku could still sense it clearly through his intuition.

"Mr. Fueki, please don't do anything rash. After all, I have a hostage in my hands right now. I don't need to say more about how important this guy is to you!"

The long scythe was held across Fa Jie's neck, and Miku hid behind her, using her as a shield.

This was truly out of necessity. The White Demon was so eager to devour him alive that Miku couldn't rest easy without someone to take the hit.

As for unleashing the power of Extreme?

Don't be ridiculous. Three minutes of self-restraint is of little use and will only expose your trump card. It's better to wait until you've completely devoured and absorbed the White Tiger before going after the White Demon.

"What do you want?"

The White Demon stopped in his tracks, suppressing his anger. Haruto Misaki was indispensable to him; after all, he had already found two other magicians to serve as human sacrifices and couldn't wait any longer.

He had no idea how much longer his daughter's body could hold on.

The magician who serves as the human pillar is indispensable. Haruto Soma has reached the final stage of evolution. She already has four elemental dragon forms. If I catalyze her further, I will be able to reap the rewards!

Once I've trained those two magicians, the Witch's Banquet can be held again, and my daughter will be able to be reborn.

With this thought in mind, White Demon suppressed his anger.

He had waited so many years for his own plan, and he could accept enduring temporary humiliation. Not to mention that the damned cat's evolution speed had exceeded his imagination. In less than half a year, the cat's strength was already enough to crush Haruto Soma, who had gathered all four forms of the Elemental Dragon.

"What I want is very simple, just this magic gem. But I already have it, so what I want now is for you to disappear from my sight immediately."

"Crench!"

After the hand gripping Hamor's cane made a teeth-grinding sound, the White Demon gave Miku a cold look, then turned and left without a word.

Miku breathed a sigh of relief only after the White Demon had completely disappeared from his sight.

To be honest, the other party's straightforward attitude surprised him, but it also proved that the other party had ill intentions.

If it weren't for the fact that the current Magician's Dragon Timer hadn't been built yet, the White Mage probably wouldn't have cared about the threat and would have taken both of them away on the spot and brainwashed them.

It seems the other side is still missing a magician. Counting himself, the sorceress, and Mayu Inamori, they are still one short of the four human pillars needed to hold the Witch's Banquet.

"Looks like I'll have to be careful in the days to come!"

Miku gently released his grip and muttered to himself, wondering when the fourth mage would appear. Just in case, he should prepare as soon as possible.

"Can you speak now?" Fa Jie, who had taken two steps forward, turned and stared at Miku, who shrugged and said, "Are you sure!"

Following Miku's gaze, Medusa was half-crouched on the ground, looking at the two of them with extremely resentful eyes.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Miku, with the long scythe slung over his shoulder, lowered his voice: "If you don't leave now, you really won't be able to leave!"

"Humph!"

Medusa snorted coldly and staggered away, disappearing from Miku and Fajie's sight.

"Let's go, let's find a quiet place, and I'll tell you about that little girl!"

Half an hour later, Miku and Fajie sat facing each other around a small dining table, next to a small pink food cart.

"Haruko, this is today's new product: Rainbow Donuts!" The proprietress, with her blonde hair styled in a bun, wore a pink apron, but her appearance and figure...

It's hard to say!

"Look at the color and texture! Besides its appearance, it tastes great too!" She politely held up two fingers and smiled at Haruko, who was enthusiastically promoting the new product. "Two sugar donuts and two cups of milk tea, please!"

"Ah, you and your brother Haruto are both such old fogies!" With a sigh, the proprietress could only put away the new product and go to prepare the food.

To the outside world, the gender-swapped mage claims to be Haruko Soma's twin sister, Haruko Soma, and the resemblance alone is enough to fool most people.

Once she recovers, Haruko Soma will have gone "abroad"!

After the food arrived, Miku squatted on the table, looking at the sugar donuts on the plate, somewhat speechless.

Sister Fa, you've been eating this since you were a child, don't you ever get tired of it?

Moreover, every time Sister Fa eats a donut, something bad inevitably happens to her after she takes a bite.

In fact, the car accident that caused him to lose his parents when he was a child happened right after he took a bite of a donut!

Thinking about this, Miku couldn't help but feel puzzled. It seemed that Sister Fa was definitely cursed by donuts!

Aren't you going to eat?

Fajie, after taking a bite of the donut, asked curiously. Miku, who was nervously looking around, breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing amiss.

"Eating this will make me lose my fur!"

Miku rolled her eyes and pushed the donut toward Fa Jie, glancing at the milk tea beside her, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't touch it.

"Now you can speak!" Fa Jie, having put down the donut, crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair. Miku shrugged and then said, "Alex's real name is Fueki Reki!"

"what?"

Fa Jie nearly jumped up from her chair, staring at Miku in disbelief. Recalling the scene from before, Fa Jie swallowed hard, her lips trembling for a long time before she finally remained silent.

The fact was so sudden and so shocking that he didn't know what to say.

"Well, don't be surprised yet. Have some milk tea to calm your nerves first."

Under Miku's malicious gaze, Fa Jie's hand trembled as she picked up the milk tea. Just as she took a sip, she heard Miku say, "There's one more thing. Di Mu Li's words are already dead!"

"puff!!!"

Fa Jie, who spat out a mouthful of milk tea, stared at Miku in shock. Miku, expressionless, raised her paw to wipe the water off her face.

"Di Muli is dead?" The mage, who had been exclaiming in surprise, hurriedly asked again, "Then what about Ali? You said her real name was Di Muli, but Di Muli is already dead. This is completely contradictory!"

"A contradiction?" Miku tilted his head in confusion and sneered, "Is it not allowed for the dead to come back to life?"

"But the white-haired magician clearly told me..."

"You believe what he says?" Miku snorted dismissively and continued, "During the Phantom's creation process, it devours the [Door] completely, leaving nothing but an empty shell!"

"That was purely to deceive you!"

Miku rolled his eyes, wagged his tail, and said softly, "Ali is Dimu Li, but there's a slight difference between the two!"

"And that child isn't human anymore; he's purely a puppet driven by magic!"

"Alex is... a doll!?"

"That's all I can say. And there's one more important thing you need to remember: that child has something very precious inside her, and her body probably won't last much longer; it'll likely collapse soon!"

"That's all I have to say. What you do next is up to you." Miku, standing up, slowly said under the shocked gaze of the donut stand owner, "You'd better think this through carefully, Haruto!"

After finishing his explanation, Miku was about to leave, but after taking only a few steps, he turned back and said, "Three rainbow donuts, to go, please!"

"what..."

After handing the bag to Miku, the timid proprietress clutched her chest and looked at her shaken assistant.

"Monster!"

As evening approached, the monk, who had been hesitating outside for a long time, finally returned to the Shadow Hall.

The doorbell rang, and Alex ran out of the small room behind the counter with a smile to greet Sister Fa. Sister Fa forced a smile at Alex's beaming face.

"You've worked hard, Haruko." Taking the coat from Sister Fa, Alex noticed that Sister Fa's expression was a little off. "What's wrong, Haruko? Did something happen?"

"nothing!"

Distracted and absent-minded, Sister Fa reluctantly spoke, her face sullen as she went upstairs. Once inside her room, Sister Fa sat on the bed, letting out a troubled and distressed groan.

"What should we do?"

.......

Inside a luxury residential building in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

Serena, toying with the deep blue magic gem, clicked her tongue and said, "You really did it! You said it this morning, and you brought it back tonight!"

"I could have come back earlier, but I wasted some time along the way!"

"So, are you confident in creating this magic gem?"

Upon hearing Miku's question, Serena confidently replied, "Of course, no problem! With such a perfect magic gem, I will definitely make the most perfect ring!"

"Then it's yours!" Miku smacked his lips after swallowing a mouthful of roasted meat. "How about you use the leftover scraps to make jewelry?"

"That's what I was thinking all along, you didn't need to bring it up!"

Serena, who rolled her eyes at Miku, stretched and yawned, giving off a charming and alluring vibe.

Unfortunately, this guy is a washboard, too narrow-minded!

"Wait a minute, according to you, you used all the scraps of magic gems to make jewelry?"
