The Strange Cat from Fuuto

As Miku entered the restaurant and had breakfast with the three old men, he was unaware that a black cat with white gloves was perched on a tree outside the window, with a green light ring on its tail.

The black cat's tail swayed gently behind it, and its sky-blue eyes stared at Miku for a moment before a smile appeared on its lips and disappeared.

On a coastline, Kylar was playing with a T2 memory in his hand when Tina came up to him and rubbed against his trouser leg.

How is he?

"It was like a dream!"

"That's good!"

"Let's go, Tina!"

With a smile, Kylar picked up Tina and carried her to the shore. After taking a deep look at the iconic Tower of Wind, he silently said, "Goodbye, my compatriots!"

The Wind City, a city where the wind blows ceaselessly, is just like any other day today, everything is so peaceful!

Chapter 42: Brother A VS Fang W, the truth revealed!

"You've obstructed me time and time again. Do you know what you're doing?"

First, the husky caused trouble, leading to Katahira Makiko's escape. Then, Shotaro blocked his path, hindering his pursuit. This completely enraged him!

"Tatsuoki, can you please let us finish speaking before you draw a conclusion?"

Philip emerged from the bushes, looking at Brother A who had his back to him.

"That's impossible!"

Gripping the engine blade tightly, A-ge suddenly swung the sword at Shotaro. Shotaro, who had just narrowly dodged a horizontal slash, hadn't even caught his breath when he saw A-ge deliver another powerful downward slash from above.

The engine blade is a knight's weapon weighing forty kilograms. It can cut through the ground simply by being dragged by manpower, and a simple downward slash can cut a car in half.

Faced with such a weapon, Shotaro dared not be careless in the slightest. Terui Ryu was truly enraged, and every attack was a powerful and heavy slash, which was sure to injure anyone who touched it, and kill them instantly—it was no joke.

Shotaro, who kept dodging, led A to the embankment road near the pedestrian park. As he dodged left and right, his movements became slower, but he still managed to put the W Driver on his waist.

"If you're going to stop him, I'll do it!"

When Philip arrived at the dam, Shotaro jumped back and got away from A-ge.

"Then it's up to you!"

Shotaro deftly pulled out his memory, held it in his palm, and pressed down with his thumb. Philip opened his palm, and a blue and white mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex jumped into his hand.

With both hands together, Philip flicked his tail to reveal the fang memory, then inserted it directly into the left slot of the driver in his waistband. Shotaro had already inserted the ace memory into the slot of the driver as well.

"JOKER!"

"FANG!"

As the voice faded, Shotaro's consciousness left his body and he swayed to the ground. In contrast, Philip's face was covered in data patterns, and his body was enveloped in a whirlwind. Black and white fragments, like stars, danced in the wind, then quickly adhered to Philip's body.

"what!"

Philip, who had passed over Shotaro's body, was not afraid of A-ge and rushed forward.

In a corner of the dam, where no one was paying attention, a dog's head with its tongue sticking out and a cat's head with its brows furrowed quietly peeked out!

Why are you stopping me?

Brother A roared and raised his sword, slashing down fiercely. Philip simply dodged the blows, rolling and weaving to avoid them. When attacks were unavoidable, he used the bracelet on his wrist to block them.

Regardless of the memory module, all of them transmit energy through a bracelet inlaid with a special gem. To give an example of Fanaticism, whenever an energy attack is launched, the gem at the center of the bracelet emits a brilliant light, thereby triggering the energy.

"engine!"

With a flick of his wrist, Brother A opened the inner groove of the engine blade, inserted the engine memory into it, and then with a flick of his left hand, closed the inner groove of the blade.

"JET!"

The trigger was pulled, and a sound rang out. A-Ge, holding his sword ramrod straight, pulled the trigger at Philip. Steam billowed from a hidden muzzle beneath the blade, and a highly condensed steam arrow shot out.

However, the Fang Memory can grant the host the ability to sense killing intent and dodge attacks. After dodging the engine blade's shot with a leap, Philip quickly flicked one end of the Fang Memory at his waist.

"Fang shoulder blade!"

After a sharp, pale blade extended from his shoulder, Philip pulled it out with a backhand motion, flicked his wrist, and threw the shoulder blade away.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The shoulder blade, hurtling through the air, made a sharp slicing sound. A-ge, unable to dodge in time, was directly struck by the shoulder blade, and a black and white afterimage appeared in the air.

Having taken a direct hit from the shoulder blade, Brother A reached out and flicked the blade away, knocking the fang-shaped shoulder blade away. However, he didn't expect that Philip would quickly lunge forward, sidestep his slash, and then deftly slip his right hand under Brother A's right armpit, locking him firmly in place.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Despite struggling, Brother A couldn't break free from Philip's grasp. As Philip increased his strength, he said, "Because you're too impulsive, you can't unleash your full potential!"

Why are you stopping me?

"What's wrong with me, as a law enforcement officer, upholding justice?"

Hearing A-ge's argument, Philip replied, "You're not upholding justice; you're just using justice as a pretext to settle personal scores!"

"Have you checked?"

"Ok!"

Having received a reply, A-Ge gave up struggling, and Philip released his grip as well. After the two deactivated their transformations, A-Ge's eyes still burned with rage, and he glared at Philip, breathing heavily.

Looks like there's some juicy gossip to come!

Miku stared intently at the two men who were locked in a tense standoff, and instinctively reached out to scratch his chin, but without transforming, he had no fangs to rub against.

"I'm really not used to it!"

Miku sighed and twisted his body. The days were getting shorter and shorter, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, which was really making the cat unhappy.

"Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah..."

Iggy seemed a bit restless, probably because of A-Ge's bright red motorcycle outfit. After all, he was still a puppy and reacted to some bright colors.

That's why it recklessly rushed towards Brother A and almost got turned into hot pot.

"Stay put...don't move!"

As the bell around his neck rang intermittently, Iggy had already run to Brother A's feet and started thrashing around at him.

"Woof, woof, woof...Woof woof woof!!!"

Howling and jumping around, Iggy's tail swishing like a windmill. "Whose dog is this?" Brother A asked, avoiding Iggy with some disdain.

"what!"

Miku groaned in pain, gritting his teeth as he glared at Iggy, that stupid dog.

"I told you to be more careful, and you just slap me in the face like this?"

"Meow..."

Upon hearing an extremely eerie cat howl, Iggy's ears perked up, and he trotted off to Miku with his tongue lolling out.

"Alright, it's time to go!"

To avoid exposing themselves, Miku jumped onto Iggy's back, pinched the back of Iggy's neck with his claws, and was about to leave the scene.

But, to my utter surprise...

This idiot actually carried him and happily ran up to Shotaro and his group.

"Ah, it's the cat from the Ensaki family!"

Because Miku's extravagant spending had shocked her so much, she remembered Miku and Iggy. Not to mention, a blue cat that could keep a husky company was bound to leave a deep impression!

"That damn dog is causing trouble!"

While Miku secretly pinched Ichi's nape, he silently observed the subsequent developments of the group in front of him.

Iggy, wincing in pain at the back of his neck, tried to flip Miku over, but when he met Miku's angry gaze, he inexplicably sat down obediently.

But its constantly wagging tail betrayed its inner restlessness.

After glancing at the quiet cat and dog, Brother A ignored them, which relieved Miku! He then turned directly to Philip and asked, "Even if you can search for everything, can you search for the screams in my heart?!"

How much do you know about what happened that day?

"I may not be able to win people's hearts through my search, but what you're doing is wrong!"

"I'm absolutely sure!"

Philip, who was at odds with Brother A, changed his expression and said, "So, please tell me what happened that day?"

"What did you say?"

A frowned as he looked at Philip, who remained completely unfazed.

"After all, your request is to solve it, right?"

Seeing Philip's serious expression, Brother A calmed down and began to recall and recount his past.

For Terui Ryu, he once had a happy family, but all the good things ended last August.

I thought I would be greeted by a celebration party hosted by my sister and parents when I got home, but what I saw was a frosty hell.

The floor, walls, ceiling, and even the cracks were filled with snow-white frost. His father protected his sister and mother, who had become corpses, and held on until he returned.

"Dragon is a weirdo who uses ice; he has a memory that starts with the letter W!"

After leaving behind a single sentence, his father shattered into countless pieces.

He was left all alone in the frost-covered house, looking at the broken pieces scattered all over the floor, and wailing to himself!

The group of people, who had unknowingly wandered into the pedestrian park, did not notice the strange expression that flashed across the face of the blue cat riding on the back of the husky. Shotaro and his two companions were focused on A-ge, and the cat and dog at their feet did not attract their attention.

"That's why I'm seeking revenge on that woman!"

"Are you still going to stop me now?!"

Brother A punched the pillar next to him, his eyes filled with hatred.
