The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Let's begin!

"Ok!"

After Bai Ya spoke, Miku, looking down at Sawame City, slowly said, "I hereby declare:

The Emerald of the Fimsim clan violated the rules by participating in the survival game without authorization.

"At this very moment, I deliver my judgment once again: their crimes are unforgivable!"

"The outcome of the trial was..."

"die!!!"

As they spoke, the chains binding Emerald loosened automatically, and under Miku's power, a fiery cross appeared behind Emerald, sealing her mouth shut as she was bound to the cross.

"Execute them now!"

As Miku finished speaking, a golden flame suddenly ignited on Emerald's body.

"Um!!!!"

As Emerald burned in the flames, the painful groans that were sealed in her mouth were amplified by Miku and echoed throughout the entire city of Sawame.

At this moment, countless people are looking up at the human-shaped fireball in the sky.

As her body was gradually burned to ashes, Emerald watched in despair as her remains slowly turned to ash and drifted away with the air currents in the high sky.

High in the sky, a ball of flame, burning like a torch, licked the air wantonly, and the wails of Emerald, engulfed in flames, echoed throughout the entire city of Sawame.

In order to deter those with ulterior motives, Miku deliberately removed the seal from Emerald's mouth.

As Emerald's body was slowly burned to ashes, her eyes were filled with despair and pain. Bai Ya watched the execution of his former subordinate without any emotion.

Jade's body, which had been burning from bottom to top, had now reduced to only fine ashes at its feet. Under Miku's deliberate manipulation, Jade, who was destined to die, would have to burn for at least a day and a night before it would finally perish.

"Let me show you what happens to those who break the rules!"

Miku tossed aside his star-studded cloak and turned to walk into the spatial rift. The rift slowly closed, and Baiya, watching Emerald struggle in the flames, slowly closed his eyes.

"Shh!"

The spatial rift, once completely closed, seemed as if it had never existed. However, Jade, hanging on the fiery cross high above, continued to wail, his body engulfed in flames as he watched his own flesh burn and disintegrate in the fire.

Like a candle!

"What are your plans next?!"

Without dwelling on the jade, Bai Ya asked casually. Miku, sitting on his throne, smiled and said under Sugar's admiring gaze, "It's not time yet, don't rush!"

"I've already thought about the next stage. What I need to do now is to improve the strength of the qualified players as much as possible so that they can survive in the next game."

"Aren't you worried that something might happen to them?!"

"Those who die in accidents don't deserve to continue. Their deaths only prove that this is the best they can do!"

"I see..." Bai Ya, who seemed to be deep in thought, was about to pick up a book when Miku, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Brother Bai Ya, could you call Shinku over for me?!"

"Why did you call him?!"

"There's something I need him to do!"

"Row!"

Somewhere in the forest of Helheim, in the ruins of a cave ravaged by time, firelight flickers within the cave, and the crystallized ground is filled with a scorching aura.

Inside the cave, Shinku stared intently at the greatsword in her hand.

Trying to find even the slightest flaw, Fimsim, a stocky man with a thick beard and two upward-curving horns on his forehead, sneered, "We've known each other for so many years, do you think I'd make a mistake on something like this?"

As he spoke, the Fimsim angrily slammed the hammer and felt he was holding.

Noticing the old goat spewing sparks from his mouth and nose while his eyes lingered on the back of her head, Shinku coughed lightly: "We've known each other for so many years, do you think I don't trust you?!"

"It's just a bit of a feeling!"

"You rough-around-the-edges guy, you're actually feeling sentimental? Tell me what you're thinking!" The old goat casually sat on the ground and breathed a ball of fire at his anvil, turning it red-hot.

"My sword has been with me for many years. No matter what kind of battle it is, it will never betray me. Even if it is broken into pieces, it will still bring me victory!"

Just like I was with Wang back then, I will always be charging forward for him and fighting for him.

Crimson sheathed her greatsword and sat on the stone platform beside her, saying in bewilderment, "But I still can't imagine why Emerald would do that!"

"Has he forgotten the oath we made to the king?!"

"Hmph," the old goat snorted coldly, "I've never liked that bastard. He calls himself a strategist, but in the end, he's just a backstabber!"

"A real man should be like a hammer, using strength to crush all conspiracies in front of him!"

"Haha, old goat, you haven't changed a bit all these years!"

“I will not change. As long as the fire is still burning in the furnace and the hammer in my hand can still make a sound, I will never change and will always be here!”

As the old goat spoke, Crimson looked towards the other side of the cave. In the shadows on the other side of the old goat's furnace, illuminated by the flickering fire, rows of weapons gleamed with a sharp and cold light.

I'm glad you said that!

"Happy?" The old goat stared at Zhenhong with his beady eyes: "What good is being happy? You still haven't paid me back for the repairs last time, and you want to owe me again this time?!"

"Hey, can you say I owe him money?!" Zhenhong retorted, her face flushed red. "Talking about money with someone like us just hurts our relationship!"

"I wasn't talking about money, I was talking about compensation. You said you'd give me alcohol every time I helped you repair your weapons!"

"Now let's see how much you owe me!"

Just as Shinku was about to speak, a massive surge of psychic energy suddenly descended upon the area, forming a deep, azure ocean.

"king!"

The old goat and Shinku respectfully knelt down. After glancing at them, Byakuya nodded to the old goat and then said to Shinku, "Shinku, come here. Miku is summoning you to the Throne Chamber!"

"Bring the driver."

"Yes, I will obey your command!"

After the message arrived, Bai Ya's mental projection glanced at the old goat again: "You should come out more often, don't always stay cooped up here!"

"I think this place is quite nice." The old goat, who had spoken in a muffled voice, lowered his head. Bai Ya shook his head, turned around, and disappeared into the old goat's cave.

"The king is calling, I must leave!" After slinging her greatsword over her shoulder, Crimson greeted the old goat and turned to leave.

After watching Shinku leave, the old goat returned to his most familiar spot, in front of his fireplace.

The old goat mumbled as it pounded its hammer again and again: "This place is quite nice!"

"real!"

........

Between the thrones, Miku sat upright on his throne, while Baiya opposite him was still reading books to learn about human culture.

Shinku arrived quickly, perhaps to avoid being chased for debts by the old goat, or perhaps because his heart was restless and yearning for battle.

"Supreme King, Noble Overlord, I wonder what you need me to do?"

"Shinku, what I need you to do is very simple!"

Miku conjured a photograph from her hand and flicked it to Shinku, saying, "Find this man and then..."

"Kill him?"

“No!” Miku said calmly, resting his chin on his hand. “I want you to give him a trial to test whether he is worthy of my gift!”

"learn!"

After glancing at the young man in the photo, Zhen Hong chuckled, "I like this kid's eyes!"

"You'll like him even more after you meet him!"

Miku waved his hand, signaling Baiya to open a spatial rift. Baiya sighed, "I feel like I'm about to become your personal driver!"

"Shh!"

The space rift, resembling a zipper, led to a small alley in Sawame City. Shinku transformed and stepped across it, while Byakuya closed the rift with a backhand.

"To be honest, the way you opened the spatial rift was pretty cool!"

"Don't flatter me. Flattery won't change the fact that you're using me as a tool." After rolling her eyes at Miku, Bai Ya continued reading her book.

Seeing this, Miku shrugged, leaned back on the throne, closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

On the other side, in an alley in Sawame City.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Crimson's eyes as she shifted uncomfortably. "Wearing this thing always reminds me of the days when I charged into battle in heavy armor."

After speaking, he looked up at the tower in the sky and saw the jade still being burned by flames.

"You're really naive. You're the one who never sees reality clearly!"

"Jade!"

After sighing for a while, Shinku picked up her long-handled, broad-bladed hunting knife and began searching for the cold-faced young man in the photo.

After searching for a while, defeating three knights and frightening the two settlements, Crimson finally obtained Aojiao's exact location.

Carrying a large sword, Zhenhong swaggered all the way to Baron's camp, slamming her broadsword heavily onto the ground.

"Where is the man named Kaito Kamen? Come out and see me!"

With a gruff voice, Shinku glared at the entrance to the gathering place. Under the influence of his aura, all the Inves around him ran far away.

With the Genesis Driver strapped to his waist, Aojiao quickly arrived at the door. Looking at the hostile-looking Shinku, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Who are you? What do you want with me?!"

Upon seeing Aojiao, who looked exactly like the one in the photo, Zhenhong picked up her hunting knife and said, "I have come here on the orders of a certain lord to conduct a trial on you and to decide whether you are qualified to continue to keep the gift he gave you!"

"Who sent this guy?!"

After understanding Zhen Hong's intentions, Ao Jiao recalled the dark red figure carrying a sword and shield.

"Since that's the case, then let's go!" Ao Jiao, having removed the Genesis Driver, switched to the Sengoku Driver. "No matter what kind of trial it is, I'll show you!"

"Once something is in my hands, there's no way I can give it back!"
