The Strange Cat from Fuuto

“Me?” Serena stared intently at Miko. “I’m going to take him to find Miku. Amy is gone, and he can’t be without a father after losing his mother!”

"That's true!"

........

Meanwhile, in the forest of Helheim, Miku, who was slumped on his throne, suddenly trembled for no apparent reason.

Miku, who had arrived inexplicably and felt a sense of panic, opened his eyes and got up, looking around suspiciously as if someone wanted to harm him.

"What's wrong?!"

As usual, Bai Ya, who was sitting on the throne, opened his eyes, glanced at the panicked Miku, and said calmly, "Why do you seem a little paranoid?!"

"I don't know!" Miku took a few deep breaths and climbed down again, looking at Iqi. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Iqi was alright.

"I just felt inexplicably uneasy, like I was being watched by something!"

The cat, shaking its fur uneasily, felt a sense of unease no matter what; this unease, like a shadow, enveloped it.

"Gudu..."

Miku swallowed hard, closed his eyes, and lay there for a moment before getting restless and standing up. "I can't calm down. I need to find some fun!"

Miku, with his tail curled up around the driver, looked at Baiya and said, "Brother, could you please open a rift for me? I need to go check out the situation in Sawame City!"

"Ok!"

After waving his hand to open a spatial rift, Bai Ya watched Miku leave, then smiled and stroked his chin, saying, "Brother!"

"What a comfortable title!"

Meanwhile, Miku, who arrived in Sawame City through the spatial rift, landed in a small alley. He transformed first and inserted his sword and shield into the grooves on his back.

Instead of walking down the street, he jumped straight onto a tall building and moved back and forth between the buildings.

Not long after arriving at a street, Miku's attention was drawn to a chaotic battle among several people below. A yellow figure wielding a long spear was dashing back and forth through the crowd.

"Oh my, it's Ao Jiao!"

Miku stopped and stroked his chin, watching the chaotic battle below. Aojiao thrust his lance back and forth, completely suppressing the other knights who were powerless to fight back.

"This kid is improving really fast!"

"Should we...?"

Miku was interrupted by a sharp whistling sound before he could finish speaking. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw an energy arrow piercing through the air and directly penetrating a knight who was about to launch a sneak attack on Aojiao.

The unlucky guy, whose transformation was undone, stared dumbfounded at the hole in his chest. The next second, his eyes rolled back and he froze on the ground.

Within seconds, there was no sound at all!

"Who goes there?!"

Startled by this unexpected turn of events, Ao Jiao held his lance horizontally in front of his chest, watching warily in the direction from which the energy arrow had come.

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

Amidst the crisp sound of footsteps, a white figure clad entirely in melon armor, wielding a longbow, approached Aojiao.

"Genesis Drive?!"

Chapter 21: Your driver is awesome, but I still managed to beat it up!

"Genesis Drive?!"

Miku, who was squatting upstairs, let out a soft exclamation after seeing the driver on the newcomer's waist. He stroked his chin and thought to himself, "As expected, something went wrong. Not only is the original destiny line no longer aligned, but the Genesis Driver has also appeared even faster than before!"

"It seems that the breeze I stirred up this time is more than just a typhoon!"

Just as Miku was pondering, the director, equipped with the Genesis Driver, came to Aojiao's side.

"A Kamen Rider I've never seen before!?"

Looking at the director with some uncertainty, Ao Jiao tightened her grip on the lance again. The unfortunate man's body, which had just been shot through, was still warm. Now it seemed that the other party was not just here with ill intentions.

The silent director stared at the still-warm body on the ground, inwardly regretting his actions: "Damn it, I went too far! I didn't expect to kill someone with just one blow!"

"I've only just gotten used to the driver, and I haven't been able to accurately control the force of my attacks yet!"

The director, feeling the sonic crossbow in his hand grow heavier, glanced around and saw the few guys who had cowered in fear because of his gaze.

The director clenched his fists tightly, and with a sigh, he said, "I should have made up my mind long ago. I was prepared to bear all the sins on my own shoulders. This is what I deserve!"

"I deserve my sins!"

The director, his resolve hardened once more, turned a sharp, piercing gaze. "Leave the driver if you don't want to die, otherwise..."

The director didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear. One of the men who had previously attacked Ao Jiao looked at the corpse, his legs trembling, and removed the lock seed, crying as he said, "I'm not participating in this game anymore, but no one told me people would die!"

The guy who had his driver discarded turned and ran. Ao Jiao saw this and sneered, "A coward who deserts his post!"

"I agree!" echoing Ao Jiao, the melon-armored knight, who was just like the director, pulled the switch on his peerless saber: Barrett Slide. After loading four bullets, he fired straight at the guy who had been running away.

"puff!"

After the energy bullet pierced the chest of the fleeing man, the man armed with melons pointed his gun at the director.

When the director saw the fleeing man fall backward, his eyes sharpened. Without a word, the director rushed forward a few steps to the knight who had killed someone earlier, and mercilessly slashed down with the sonic crossbow in his hand.

"I will bear all my sins, but I will never forgive those who kill indiscriminately!"

Even though the director was mentally prepared for the accidental killing, seeing a living person perish before his eyes still caused him a more complex mix of emotions.

So they became even more ferocious!

The sonic crossbow's sharp bow arm sliced ​​through the opponent's raised melon-shaped shield as easily as cutting through paper, and with its remaining force, struck the opponent's chest.

"Oh!"

Amidst the burst of electric sparks, the murderous knight was sent flying backward, and the director quickly released an arrow from his bowstring.

The energy arrow pierced through the thick armor and went straight to the opponent's chest.

"Pfft..."

Staring in disbelief at the hole in his chest, the murderous knight gave a bitter laugh: "Survival game is indeed a survival game; one wrong move and you're dead. It's a pity I couldn't avenge my brother!"

"Pfft!"

The armor on the kneeling knight disappeared automatically, revealing a face that bore an extreme resemblance to the face of the person the director had accidentally killed earlier.

"So they're twins!"

Knowing what was going on, the director turned to look at the other three, including Ao Jiao. Ao Jiao's cold eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Whoosh!"

As the banana-shaped lance thrust forward, the sound of air being pierced filled the air, and at the same time, the director raised his sonic crossbow, easily blocking the banana-shaped lance.

"You two still have a chance if you want to give up!"

The remaining two exchanged glances, and one of them swallowed hard, saying, "We have no intention of throwing our lives away!"

After deactivating their transformations, the two discarded their drivers and slowly retreated towards the director. Once they reached a safe distance, they quickly fled.

"The troublesome coward is gone, now it's just the two of us!"

With a twirling motion of his lance, Ao Jiao stepped forward and thrust forward swiftly with his right hand holding the lance.

"clang!"

The bow and lance clashed with a crisp sound, and the director, with a flick of his wrist, took a step forward, grazing the lance. Seeing this, Ao Jiao immediately released her grip and retreated, dodging the director's bow strike. The director casually tossed aside the lance, drew back his bowstring, and aimed at Ao Jiao.

"Give up! My driver's performance is several times greater than the Sengoku Driver. You have no chance of winning against me!"

"It's not the last moment yet, how can we give up!"

After picking the banana seedlings, Ao Jiao turned around and pulled out a red and orange mango seedling. "Mango!"

As the lock started playing, Aojiao quickly inserted it into the driver's groove, "Lock On!"

The circular, restrictive crack opened automatically, and the mango armor parts fell out, hovering above Aojiao's head!

"Planning to change your lock type?!" The director sneered, looking disdainfully at Ao Jiao as his armor dissipated to reveal his pilot suit. "While I admire your courage, you can't beat me with just the Sengoku Driver!"

"Insanity!"

Pressing the Cutting Blade button, Ao Jiao spreads out his arms, and armor parts fall from mid-air and land on Ao Jiao's head.

"Mango Arms, Fight Of Hammer!"

After the giant mango hammer, as tall as a person, appeared automatically, Ao Jiao grabbed it and dragged the hammer on the ground as he charged towards the director with heavy steps.

"Commendable courage!"

The director removed the energy melon lock from his waist and placed it on the sonic crossbow: "Lock, On, Melon Energy!"

As the director drew back the bowstring, a dazzling energy beam gathered in front of the sonic crossbow.

"However, he's just brave but reckless!"

"Whoosh!" The director, who was about to release the bowstring, raised his arms high, releasing the energy accumulated in front of the bow. The energy arrow was launched and formed an energy melon in mid-air.

The moment the melon took shape, its juice burst forth, and amidst the rippling energy waves, several energy arrows shimmering in the color of melons fell from above.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Countless dense arrows rained down on Ao Jiao, who stopped in his charge and raised his heavy hammer, spinning it rapidly above his head.

"Not bad combat awareness!"

The director drew his bowstring again and shot an arrow at Ao Jiao, who was wielding a heavy hammer. This time, he controlled the force better than before.

"boom!"

Ao Jiao, struck hard in the chest, flew backward, enveloped by a dense rain of arrows.

"Um?!"

The director, not hearing the expected scream, let out a soft exclamation. Amidst the billowing dust, crisp footsteps echoed as a dark red figure carrying the unconscious Ao Jiao emerged from the smoke.

"It's you!?"

The director, who had spoken excitedly, saw the surging fighting spirit burning in Miku's eyes. After Miku casually put Aojiao on the ground, he took out his sword and shield from behind his back.
