The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Then there's only one possibility left!"

With a knowing look in his eyes, Miku left the crimson space. After he left, a figure looked at the spot where he had left for a moment, then said with a sigh of relief, "I'm really happy that you're doing so well!"

"Miku!"

"mine..."

The sound gradually faded into silence, and the figure slowly disappeared into the crimson space.

In reality, Miku suddenly opened his eyes. He began to sort through his previous memories. Having just woken up, he was still grumpy from being woken up and the echoes of his nightmares left him completely lacking in energy. However, now, startled by the sudden situation, he also began to organize his memories.

With his memory, he could easily recall recent events as effortlessly as flipping through a book, without having to exert much effort.

In Miku's memory, he only remembered falling into a coma because his inner world memories were constantly being destroyed by Regioon, and what followed were just scattered fragments of memories.

The intense lights, the faintly echoing laughter, and the inexplicable pain all left him utterly bewildered.

But now is not the time to dwell on that; a thoughtful look appeared in the cat's eyes as they regained focus.

"It seems that something happened after I passed out, which I don't know about. Not only did Regio and the White Tiger disappear inexplicably, but even the reason why Amy sent me home is a very strange thing!"

"and...."

Miku vaguely remembered feeling a very familiar power before he lost consciousness. However, although it was familiar, he had no recollection of it.

"What happened after I passed out?!"

............

Torii-zaka, in front of a residential building in the Kita Ward.

The middle-aged man with a cane greeted his neighbor in a friendly manner, then entered his home with a smile, carrying the package in his hand.

But once inside the room, the man's expression quickly vanished. His face was expressionless as he suddenly coughed, covering his mouth with his hand. After coughing violently for a while, he looked at the blood on his hand, and his eyes unconsciously revealed deep hatred and... fear!

"Where did that guy just come from?"

At the same time, he recalled the scene in his mind: in the midst of the apocalyptic explosion and shock, he had saved Alex and left the cave at the last moment.

Even so, he was seriously injured!

Judging from all the signs, this man is the mastermind behind everything in the world of magic, the white magician and sage Fueki Kanade!

After entering the study, Fumiko casually placed her cane aside. She used to use her cane as a cover, and even though she really needed it now, her attitude was no different from before!

Throw it away when you don't need it anymore!

Fueki Kanade opened the package and peeked inside. There lay a strangely shaped magic gem. Gazing at the gem, a strange light gleamed in Fueki Kanade's eyes:

"You're the only one left. Once you're done, I can move on to the final stage!"

"It's a repeat of what happened before, the Witch's Banquet is being held again!"

Chapter 80: Miku: I think I'm pregnant!

Antique shop, Mianyingtang.

"Take care on your journey!!!"

Wajima Shigeru waved goodbye to Haruko and Alex at the door with a smile. The two of them were going out shopping and strolling around today.

Since the last incident, Wajima Shigeru has felt deep sympathy and indignation for Hoshino and Alex.

After all, both of them were caught up in the battle against the Phantom during the best years of their youth, unable to extricate themselves for a long time and constantly in danger of losing their lives.

They should be pursuing their dreams and living their own lives at this age, but instead they have to face the Phantom every day, hovering between life and death.

During this period, besides carrying out the renovation work of the Shadow Hall, we also advised both of them not to be too stressed!

Today, the fact that the two people agreed to go out made Wajima Shigeru very happy!

After seeing off Sister Fa and Alex, Wajima Shigeru slowly turned and walked into the store, returning to her room to sort out the recent accounts and expenses.

As time passed, amidst the bustling street outside, a gentleman in a brown coat, leaning on a cane, slowly made his way to the entrance of the Kyoukai-do.

Looking at the signboard of Menkage-do, Fueki Kanade's lips curled into a slight smile. But deep disdain lingered in her eyes.

Wajima Shigeru is too rigid, unlike Serena, who not only accepts anyone who wants a ring made, but also doesn't ask too many questions!

The reason he and Wajima Shigeru parted ways on bad terms was that he had tricked Wajima into making him a ring with extremely terrifying power without Wajima's knowledge.

Because of this, not only did they part ways, but they also lost contact for many years. If it weren't for Serena's exorbitant prices and excessive magical requirements, even with her vast magical power, she wouldn't have been able to support such a "juicing princess"!

Moreover, Serena has now formed a bond with that dead cat Miku, so he can't go looking for her.

If he goes looking for it, he'll only be making things difficult and causing trouble for himself!

Thinking this through, Fumiko pushed open the shop door. The walls of Menkage-do had been rebuilt and repaired, and apart from not being painted, they were no different from before.

Clang...

The clear sound of the copper bell echoed in the shop. Wajima Shigeru, who was checking the accounts, heard it but did not intend to go out immediately. He planned to finish his work first.

Antique shops need to give customers time to look at the items, even if they don't have much stock left.

But we must always follow the rules. As for theft, there are surveillance cameras, so there's not much to worry about!

Inside the hall, looking at the rearranged furnishings, Fueki Zou walked across the floor with a cane in her hand, occasionally reaching out to touch one of the displayed samples.

With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, Fueki glanced at the small room behind the counter, the place where his daughter often spent time alone.

A short while later, Wajima Shigeru emerged from the room and apologized to Fueki Kanade, who had her back to him, saying, "I'm sorry, guest!"

"I didn't finish my work earlier, so I'm only just coming out now. What would you like to do for me?"

"What I want is very simple!"

The slow-speaking Fueki Kanade possessed a captivating magnetism. Turning around slowly, she smiled and said, "I'd like to borrow your skills again!"

"After all, the rings you make are excellent."

"It's you!!!"

Upon seeing Fueki Kanade's face, Wajima Shigeru's warm smile gradually froze, revealing a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

"Oh dear, Mr. Wajima, please don't make such a scary face," said Kanade Fueki, spreading her hands with a chuckle. "After all, we've known each other for a long time!"

"An old acquaintance?"

With a cold snort, Wajima Shigeru said irritably, "I have no connection with you. I didn't know your background back then, so I made that ring for you and dragged Haruko and Alex into the Phantom's struggle. Now you want me to make a ring for you?!"

"Don't waste your energy, just leave!"

Wajima Shigeru waved him away and was about to return to his room when Fueki Kanade, annoyed, simply said, "I still advise you to reconsider. After all, your every move is related to the lives of many people!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wajima Shigeru frowned, a hint of anger creeping into his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"

But he saw Di Mu Zou take a handkerchief out of his pocket, and the handkerchief wrapped an irregularly shaped object.

"Because, I'm not doing this for myself, but for Haruto Misaki." Slowly untying her handkerchief, Kanade Fueki revealed its contents to Shigeru Wajima.

Wrapped in the handkerchief was a pale purple magic gem!

"What?" Wajima Shigeru looked at him with a hint of concern as he placed the cane on the shelf beside him. He then turned and left on his own.

"Please hurry up!"

...........

"This is going to be a difficult situation!"

Inside Serena's apartment, a cat lay lazily on the bed, sighing. Its eyes held an undisguised sadness.

"Should I have the original flavor fried chicken or something else?" Miku rolled over and pulled the tablet over, looking at the dazzling array of dishes on it, momentarily at a loss.

Miku had just eaten that morning, yet her energy expenditure was terrifying. She couldn't fathom how those incredibly strong individuals managed to eat so little.

In contrast, he needs to eat a lot of food every day to maintain his condition. Of course, he can also go without eating, and he won't starve to death.

It's so painful!!!

But who can live without the desire for food?

After much difficult deliberation, a resolute glint flashed in Miku's eyes, and he looked at the tablet with a serious expression.

"Only children make choices; I want them all!"

After ordering all the dishes, Miku tossed the tablet aside and lay on the bed, lost in her own thoughts.

If he is not mistaken, his current situation is exactly as he expected.

The power of his ultimate form, unique to him, was slowly developing, but Miku didn't understand the principles and process behind it, and was very confused.

"After the mage was killed by Region, he forcibly took over the monster's body to save Alex. In the end, with his unreasonable protagonist aura and idealistic power, he resurrected the dragon and gained infinite power!"

Miku, who had been pondering for a moment, realized that he was not the main character. Putting everything else aside, the power of idealism alone made Miku very puzzled.

With just faith, one can unleash unexpected power in times of crisis, and even receive help from benefactors at every critical juncture.

If it were Miku himself, the first thing he would do upon receiving help would be to smash the other person's head in, and then, while pinning them to the ground and grinding them into the dirt, interrogate them about their purpose.

No one is kind to you for no reason, and no one is unconditionally attentive. Everyone has an ulterior motive. If you have no use to them, who would even glance at you?

Thinking of this, Miku sighed deeply. "Forget it, I need to confirm again whether it's what I think!"

After tugging at the unresponsive driver pendant around her neck, Miku got off the bed and went straight to the living room.

Here were all his rings, set in a tower-like shelf. Jumping onto the table, Miku carefully examined his four rings.

Wild, Jungle, Blood Hunt, and the recently acquired Xuanyuan XIV.

Wild was a gift from White Flute to Miku, Jungle was obtained in exchange for the Wind Dragon Magic Gem from Sister Fa, Blood Hunt came from Serina's collection, and Xuanyuan XIV was stolen by Miku himself!

"It really looks just as I thought!" Miku examined the four rings and found that the surface of the rings seemed to be covered with a thin layer of dust, and all their former luster was gone.

All that's left are dull, gloomy colors!

Just like an ordinary, unremarkable stone, plain and insignificant!

"Damn it, even though I don't know what's going on, even if it's a good thing, I still don't feel at ease!"

Miku stretched out his tail and gently rubbed it against the ring face. After rubbing it against each ring, Miku lay on the sofa, feeling the dormant power within him.

If Miku's power was once like a calm sea surface concealing turbulent undercurrents, then it is now like a volcano before it erupts.
