The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The cat, darting back and forth between the buildings, twitched its ears, and a familiar call reached its ears.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Is it that little girl?" Miku reached out and opened a magic circle, from which he took out his Battle Driver and Apple Lock.

"Transform!"

The moment the restrictive rift opened, Miku leaped upwards to meet the Apple Armor parts. After transforming, Miku, wielding a sword and shield, quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

In a narrow alley, Sugar held a broken lock in her hand, her small face streaked with tears as she looked at the several grinning knights in front of her.

"The little guy can run pretty fast!"

"But it still ended up in our hands, didn't it?!"

"And that lock-seed, we must find out exactly where it came from!"

Amidst the sinister laughter, three knights strolled closer.

Where there is light, there is darkness; where there are silly oranges and proud bananas who are working hard to save the citizens, there are also scoundrels who take advantage of the chaos!

Sugar, who was being targeted, quickly summoned her Lockseed Inves, but under the opponent's attack, her Lockseed was accidentally destroyed, and even the summoned Inves was smashed to pieces.

In a panic, Sugar rushed into the alley with no way out.

"Don't worry, little girl. Big brother will take good care of you!"

With a sinister laugh, the knight grabbed Sugar's arm and then reached for Sugar's flat chest with his other hand.

"This guy is still the same as always, always with unique tastes!"

The knight watching from the sidelines twitched his elbow, trying to poke his companion, but he touched nothing.

"Hey, hello there!"

The knight turned his head and saw the crown-like mask, but before he could draw his weapon, the other party had already thrust his sword at him.

"Pfft!"

The "Sword Drawer" emerged from the chest. Miku kicked the corpse aside expressionlessly, then fixed his cold gaze on the knight who was just about to deactivate his transformation.

"You people don't even deserve to be called villainous knights!"

"Pure scum!"

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, the cat swiftly slashed forward with its longsword, the blade cutting across the other party's neck and cleanly severing the throat of the harness. As the harness was torn open, sparks flew as the "Sword Master" easily sliced ​​through the skin of the other party's throat, severing the blood vessels in an instant.

Amidst the spray of blood, Miku flicked the blood off the blade and reinserted it into his shield.

"This is our second time meeting, isn't it?"

Miku, who had crouched down, took the damaged item from Sugar's hand and tossed it behind him without even looking at it.

"ah!"

She rushed out in a flurry of activity, grabbed the broken lock, and held it in her heart as if it were a precious treasure.

"That one is broken!"

"I know!"

"Then why are you still holding it?!"

“Because this is…” Sugar glanced at Miku and then lowered her head again, whispering, “This is the first time someone has ever given me a gift!”

"Tsk!"

With her keen hearing, Miku naturally caught what the other person said. She walked over and gently stroked Sugar's hair, laughing, "Why is it that every time I meet you, you're being threatened by all sorts of people?!"

"It feels like some idiotic author is writing some kind of cheesy plot!"

"Um..."

Sugar simply nodded slightly without saying anything more. After Miku stood up, she asked again, "What's your name?!"

"granulated sugar!"

"Is there anyone else in the family?!"

"no!"

"Oh..." The cat drawled out its voice, thought for a moment, and then stretched out its paw. "Then why don't you come with me? I don't need a little guy to take care of me!"

"May I?!"

"can!"

"Then I'll go with you!"

Sugar hesitated, reaching out her hand, but shrank back, not daring to touch Miku's palm. Miku simply and decisively grabbed it.

"Come on, I'll take you away from here!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Powerful Alliance of Two Scheming Masters!

Holding hands, the two figures, one big and one small, slowly disappeared into the streets of Sawame City.

Miku, who deliberately released his aura, was not disturbed by any Inves along the way.

In fact, we haven't seen a single Inves along the way.

The only Inves we saw, upon Miku's appearance, wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly, eventually embedding himself into the wall.

"What is this...?"

Looking curiously at Inves, who was buried deep in the wall, Sugar asked him in confusion. Miku laughed and said, "Maybe he's had too much to drink!"

"Does Inves drink too much too?!"

"Who knows?"

Holding Sugar's little hand, Miku walked all the way to a spatial rift leading to the Forest of Helheim. When Sugar saw the wild scenery on the other side of the rift, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Miku's hand.

Are you scared?!

After hearing Miku's chilling words, Sugar trembled and stammered, "I...I'm not afraid..."

"That's good. You'll have to get used to it from now on, since I live there now!"

"Living in there?!" Sugar's mouth gaped open in astonishment before Miku pulled her into the Forest of Helheim. Once inside, Miku scooped Sugar into his arms and skillfully led her to the throne room in the ruins of Fimsim.

During the journey, Miku, with a sudden thought, subconsciously glanced in a certain direction.

"Is it that inhuman knight from last time again?!"

"Annoying, I'll just get rid of it sometime!"

The moment the thought crossed Miku's mind, a hint of murderous intent involuntarily surfaced. Sugar, nestled in Miku's arms, trembled like a frightened rabbit and buried her head even deeper.

"Huff..." Emerald, hiding behind a tree, heaved rapidly. Cold sweat unknowingly beaded on her forehead as she spoke with lingering fear, "Who exactly is this guy? Just a hint of killing intent is enough to terrify me."

"Gulp!" After swallowing hard, Emerald had an absurd thought: "Could it be one of those two?"

"I can't think about it anymore. I'm walking on a minefield right now. If my actions are discovered, then..."

Unable to bear thinking about her fate, Emerald took out her Sengoku Driver. The emerald green knight head on the knight display panel had become blurry for some reason, as if a pencil drawing had been erased, leaving only a faint outline.

"I need to find allies, the kind I can control."

Emerald, slowly leaning against a tree, disappeared into the forest. Meanwhile, Miku had already brought Sugar to the throne room.

Upon seeing Bai Ya sitting on the throne, Sugar's eyes quickly filled with a misty haze, and she slumped in Miku's arms, unable to utter a single word.

"Brother Bai Ya, tone down your aura a bit. This young lady is very sensitive!"

"Interesting humans!"

Bai Ya glanced at Sugar and immediately saw through her. Humans with superpowers are indeed rare, but compared to their Fimsim, they are slightly inferior.

If humans are monkeys covered in a layer of fur, then the Fimsims are apes wearing a layer of armor, stronger than humans in both strength and spirit.

Having seen individuals even stronger than psychics, Bai Ya naturally didn't care about Sugar. At most, he listened to Miku's advice and restrained his aura.

He is...

"Don't be afraid, you'll be living with us from now on!" Miku gently put Sugar down and deactivated his transformation. His armor and pilot suit instantly turned to dust and disappeared, revealing Miku's ultimate form.

"You are...."

Sugar was even more horrified when she saw Miku in this state. She thought she had just been protected by a kind passerby, but she never expected that the one who sheltered her was the Ruler of the survival game.

"Don't be too surprised, after all, you'll be under my protection from now on!"

With a roguish air, Miku patted Sugar's head and nodded to Bai Ya, saying, "This time I've selected three qualified candidates. It seems they do indeed have the qualifications, but we'll have to continue observing them to see how they far go!"

"Well, since you've said so, let's continue to observe!"

"it is good!"

After placing his driver and lock, Miku plopped down on the throne and looked at Sugar with a puzzled expression.

This little girl can't live like me, sleeping in the open and exposed to the elements!

.........

"Yoko, this is your personal driver, don't disappoint me!"

With a smile, Sengoku Ryoma handed a Genesis Driver along with the Momo Energy Lock to Momo. Momo took the items with a serious expression, tapped them in her hand, and then said with a forced smile, "Of course, Professor Ryoma!"

"Ah!"

Zhanji Lingma chuckled softly and waved his hand, signaling her to leave for the time being.

"Then I'll get back to work!" Peach, swaying her hips in her high heels, left Sengoku Ryoma's laboratory.

"This is perfect for now. Luckily, Apple Knight stole Guihu's driver, otherwise it would be quite difficult to implant a self-destruct device!"

After circling around in his chair, Sengoku Ryoma picked up his unique Genesis Driver and revealed a mysterious smile: "You guys can slowly charge forward and gather intelligence for me. I just need to reap the rewards of victory at the right time!"

"That's a great idea, sitting behind the scenes and controlling everything secretly. But can it really be done as you say?!"

A voice, soft yet laced with a hint of cunning, suddenly rang out. Senju Ryoma immediately fastened the driver to his waist, holding the Lockseed in his hand and watching warily in the direction from which the voice came.

Ripples spread through the air, and the originally transparent and colorless air mass was tinged with a hazy green, slowly coalescing into a human shape. The emerald green knight gradually materialized and appeared before Zhanji Lingma.
