The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The surface of the sacred tree shimmers with a hazy light, like neon lights at night, creating a mesmerizing and dreamlike atmosphere.

"Why would the fruits of Helheim appear here?"

After each of the three picked a fruit, the fruit transformed into a vehicle lock-seed in their hands.

"Strange place, strange people!"

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

The people of Sawame City in this world seemed completely unsurprised and unastonished by the vines that had inexplicably appeared above their heads, as if they couldn't see them at all.

After the director followed the vines to the very top, he discovered the city of Sawame.

The director, who had been briefly suspended in the air, stared in disbelief at the bustling city of Sawame. Such a prosperous scene was something that only existed in his memory.

"What on earth is going on?!"

The director's mouth remained agape for a long time, especially when he saw the complete World Tree Tower, a hint of excitement showing in his eyes.

"Could it be...?"

The director, twisting the grip, rode the vehicle rapidly towards the World Tree Tower, while on the other side, at the lowest level of the World Tree Tower, the director of this world had just stepped into the crack.

"Ah..."

Silly Orange's high-pitched screams echoed in the sky, while Aojiao, who was almost at the top, looked up in confusion at the indistinct figure.

He asked hesitantly, "Is it Kuzunoha?!"

"Waaaaah..."

Amidst the echoing screams of agony and rage, Ao Jiao sighed, "It's definitely him!"

"You can really run into him everywhere!"

The world of mages, Torii-Bakato Ward.

A knight with a long tail on his back held a strange weapon and stared menacingly at the ogre not far away.

The knight's voice was low and menacing, his eyes stubborn behind gold and silver spectacles.

"Meow~~ Roar!!!!"

Chapter 45: Miko: "Watch closely, this is my transformation!"

The world of mages, Torii-Bakato Ward, Serena's mansion.

Three days have passed since the little guy put on his own driver. In these three days, the little guy tried to transform more than once, but was stopped by Mick, Serena and the Northeast Axe that was reborn in his body by combining with his magic.

Of course, the most important thing is the ring that belongs only to the little guy, which Serena hasn't given him yet.

The Northeast Axe was reborn by combining the magic inherited from Miku, and for him, being inside the little guy's body was not as stifling as being inside Miku's body.

Look at the mage's dragon, it has exclusive access to the mage's entire inner world. And look at him, he has been imprisoned in the infinite crimson space by Miku using the saber-toothed tiger memory since birth, and he has never even seen Miku's inner world.

Moreover, to him, the little guy was like a nephew or niece, and he would never and could never think of anything that would plunge the little guy into despair.

In his view, being able to run freely in the little guy's inner world was the most satisfying thing. And after understanding the little guy's wishes, he secretly vowed not to let anyone take advantage of the situation.

"Uncle, please let me transform!"

The little guy clung to Mick, begging for permission to transform, but Mick coldly refused, saying, "You can't even properly control your powers right now, and you want to transform?!"

"Do you want to sprain your ankle?"

After hearing this, the little guy said with a face full of indignation, "But I've already mastered it!"

"hehe!"

Mick simply chuckled in response to the little guy's whining. With your personality, where you could start a fire just by sleeping, you think you can transform?

You should go back and practice more before coming back!

"By the way, hasn't Mama Na come out yet?"

After being rejected by Mick, the little guy ran back to the Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever sighed in frustration and obediently lay down on the spot, letting the little guy lie on its body.

"She's still making a ring for you, it'll probably take a while."

Serena has been holed up in her workshop for two days and one night to make a special ring for the little one. She is so determined to make the most perfect ring that she is almost bald.

The raw materials were the magic gems and magic cores that Miku had previously scavenged for her, including some of her own treasures.

After glancing at Serena's workspace, Mick skillfully rolled a piece of catnip into a stick and held it up to the little guy.

"Here, light one for Uncle!"

"You're going to smoke this again!" The little guy covered his nose in disgust and jumped to the side, but still obediently spat out a flame to light the catnip for Mick.

"What do you know? This is adult romance!"

"Can I smoke it in the future?" The little guy asked with a look of interest in his eyes. Mick raised an eyebrow: "If you dare to touch it in the future, I'll break your legs!"

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~, you stinky dad!"

The little guy, pouting, jumped onto the Golden Retriever's back, its silver paws grabbing the Golden Retriever's fur. The Golden Retriever immediately obediently got up and started carrying the little guy around in circles.

Mick, puffing on his cigarette, gazed dreamily at the little guy, whose driver's necklace swayed back and forth as the golden retriever ran. He muttered to himself, "It really does look like it, at this glance!"

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

On the streets of Torii-zaka, Rinko Daimon and her friends, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, were gathered in front of a donut stand.

Nara Shunpei wore the ring securely on his hand, while he held a donut in his hand.

"Sigh, I never thought Miku would leave."

Unlike Shunpei Nara, who was cheerful, Rinko Daimon was sullen, thinking about what she had seen at Serena's mansion a few days ago.

"what happened?"

With his mouth full of donuts, Nara Shunpei looked at Daimon Rinko with curiosity. Daimon Rinko sighed again, while the beast girl sitting next to him, swinging her legs, propped her chin up and sipped her milk tea helplessly, saying, "It's that Phantom we met before, the one called the Ogre!"

"Although we don't know how Miku separated the Phantom from his body, he willingly let the other party swallow him in order to avoid implicating us."

"Ugh!"

After sighing in unison, the beast girl and Rinko Daimon exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of frustration.

"Could you tell me the specifics of the situation?"

A gentle, sunny voice sounded from behind them, and Nara Shunpei's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Haruto-nii!!!"

Nara Shunpei jumped up excitedly, completely disregarding the feelings of the other two, and nearly overturned the table before falling onto the mage.

The mage raised his hand and placed it on Shunpei's head to prevent him from being pounced on by Nara Shunpei. On the contrary, Alex glared at Nara Shunpei and said angrily, "It's been so long, and you're still as reckless as ever!"

Nara Shunpei scratched his head sheepishly at Alex's accusations.

"Alright, we can catch up later. Let's talk about what you've been talking about!"

"Ok!"

The Beast Girl nodded with a sullen expression, then told the Mage everything that had happened. After listening, the Mage stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "This doesn't sound like Miku's style at all!"

"But Phantoms and magicians are not the same. Just because Miku wouldn't do that doesn't mean his Phantom won't!"

After arguing for a moment, Rinko Daimon noticed the deep thought on the wizard's face and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Could it be that you've thought of something?"

"We'll have to see for ourselves to find out the details. Let's go, let's go to Serena's place!"

"alright."

The group immediately drove to Serena's mansion, while a sinister gaze was fixed on the mage from behind.

"Found you, dragon!"

Inside the mansion's main house, Serena pushed open the door with a dejected expression. She always wore this look whenever she couldn't control her restless heart and started making the ring.

They sometimes don't even care about their own self-cultivation and manners.

"Finally finished!"

The weariness in her eyes was unmistakable. With a blank expression, Serena slammed the little guy's special ring on the table and plopped down in her chair.

"It's a success?!"

After shaking his head to dispel the dizziness, Mick jumped onto the table and carefully examined the ring that Serena had prepared for the little guy.

The ring facet is designed to resemble a knight's visor, with an obsidian base and two blue iolite stones adorning it.

“The Courage Ring represents courage!” Serena explained casually. The little one came over and stared intently at the ring on the table.

The little guy, its paws still carefully pawing at the object, looked up at Serena with its eyes shining and asked, "Is this for the cat?!"

"Really? Really? Really?!"

"Yes, it's for you. From today onwards, you can become a true knight!"

"Great, meow!"

The little guy cheered and jumped and shouted on the table, while Serena leaned back in her chair with eyes full of affection.

"Ding!!!"

The tablet, which was slammed onto the table, made a crisp sound. Serena, looking annoyed, said, "Who is it now?!"

After opening the tablet, she saw the group of mages standing in front of the door. Serena frowned and muttered to herself, "What are these people trying to do this time?"

"Who is it, meow? Who is it, meow?!"

The curious little guy peered over at the mage and others on the tablet. Serena frowned and thought for a while before finally opening the door.

The group leaped in and quickly entered the main room. Upon seeing Miko, the mage exclaimed in shock, "Miko, how did you become so small?"

"Why!!!"

Everyone else had the same expression. The little guy looked at the mage curiously and asked, "Do you know the cat's dad?"

"dad?!"

The mage and the others gasped in unison, staring in shock at the little one. After Serena and the others explained, the mage slowly sat down, his face still showing shock, and said, "I didn't expect that guy to have a child!"
