The Strange Cat from Fuuto

You'd better pray you've been targeted by someone, you silly apprentice.

They're not the kind of people you can easily talk to. If you really piss them off, you'll be beaten to a pulp.

Recalling the time when Miku kicked her around like a ball, Shinku subconsciously touched her horn.

"I almost lost all the horns I've maintained for so many years."

After saying that, Zhenhong glanced at Aojiao, who was working hard to train, and then sneaked into the cave next to her like a thief, taking out a bottle of skincare wax from her cloak.

"Humans do have some advantages!" After carefully putting a little wax in her palm, Shinku smeared it on the curved hair on her head: "Sigh, these days you really will go bald if you don't take care of yourself!"

Shinku, smeared with wax, shook her head and swayed, not even noticing the person who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never knew you were so vain!" Miku's sudden words almost made Shinku jump up. When he saw that it was Miku in his Overlord armor, he quickly smiled sheepishly and said, "You've arrived."

"I didn't know you had this hobby!" Miku teased, patting Shinku on the shoulder. Shinku scratched her head and said, "It's just some skincare, nothing special!"

"Alright, I won't interfere in your own affairs anymore. I need to talk to your apprentice about something now."

"Oh, Jiedou. He's training next door."

"Alright, you can do your own thing." After patting Shinku's shoulder again, Miku strode into the adjacent cave. Shinku watched Miku's retreating figure with a hint of seriousness in his eyes. As he rubbed the wax, he muttered to himself, "Why does the Overlord seem different today?"

"It looks much colder than before!"

Shinku, after all, fought her way through the battlefield back then. Even though she has taken action less often in recent years, her sense of danger is still there.

Even though Miku appeared very approachable with a smile, a faint but palpable killing intent emanated from him, making his aura suddenly several degrees colder.

"Hey, kid." A shout made Ao Jiao stop training. His eyes were full of gloom as he looked at Miku and said irritably, "What are you doing here?"

"Me?" Miku pointed to himself and grinned. "Of course I need to talk to you."

"So, should we do it or not?"

This is a great opportunity for you to practice!

"You said."

“No girl will like someone so cold and aloof. You need to change that.” Speaking of girls, Miku looked around suspiciously: “By the way, where’s Peach?”

"peach?"

A puzzled Ao Jiao suddenly thought of a certain figure.

At the same time, inside the cave where Ao Jiao had previously hidden, a short-haired beauty with a dusty face lay on the ground, weakly saying, "These stinky men just abandoned me and left me like this!"

"I'm so hungry!!!"

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

Sawame City, Cherry Blossom District.

"Die!"

As the trigger was pulled, blue-purple energy bullets gushed from the muzzle of the silly orange gun, blasting the Inves in front of him into a ball of fire.

"Huff... huff..."

With heavy breathing, Silly Orange put away the gun attached to his grape-themed weapon. "Finally solved!"

After saying that, Silly Orange collapsed to the ground, and with a flash of light, his transformation was deactivated.

Silly Orange struggled to pull a fruit off the side, feeling as if his limbs were filled with lead, unable to move even a finger.

Even so, he still plucked a fruit and, while waiting for it to transform into a seed lock, Silly Orange looked at the crystal-clear fruit in his hand and swallowed hard.

A look of longing and greed appeared in his eyes.

However, the fruit quickly turned into a Lockseed under the influence of the Driver's power. Looking at the bright orange Lockseed in his hand, Ao Jiao sighed, "Alas!"

"Why is it pineapple again? How many is this now?"

The foolish orange, who had the Lockseed embedded in his waistband, extravagantly used this combat-grade Lockseed as a life-sustaining one.

Along his journey, all the fruits he casually plucked were transformed into high-grade locked seeds; except for the very first sunflower seed, they were all of superior quality.

The probability of a fruit transforming into a lockseed is very low. Although every fruit can become a lockseed, the chance of getting a high-level lockseed is extremely small.

This series of good fortunes seems to be foreshadowing something; usually, after a string of good luck, misfortune is what awaits people.

The cycle of adversity and prosperity is just like that!

After resting on the ground for a while, Silly Orange felt his strength returning and got up. Even though he had cleared out this area, there were still Inves wandering around. Those guys were man-eaters!

Silly Orange slowly shuffled into a shop and sat behind the counter, savoring this rare moment of rest.

"Just a few more blocks and we'll succeed!" Silly Orange thought to himself, clenching his fist in encouragement. "Go for it!"

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A crisp sound of footsteps echoed at the end of the long street, growing louder as the sound drew closer, and the person making the footsteps slowly revealed themselves.

He wore a somewhat tattered red trench coat, with the Sengoku Driver fastened to his waist, and a pair of sharp eyes beneath his messy red hair.

"Ok?"

Hearing the footsteps, Silly Orange curiously peeked out from behind the counter. He hadn't heard such footsteps in a long time and was very curious.

He didn't see a single living person along the way; it seemed that there were no other living beings in Sawame City besides the Inves.

He was the only one left.

"Kuzuha Kouta, I'm here to kill you!" After stopping, Ao Jiao turned to look at Sha Cheng, who was peeking out from behind the counter, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Chapter 74: Proud Banana VS Silly Orange

"I've come to kill you!"

Ao Jiao turned to look at Sha Cheng, who was peeking out from behind the counter. Sensing the killing intent emanating from Ao Jiao, Sha Cheng muttered to himself, "Refrain from fighting!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Ao Jiao took out a banana lock from his pocket, twirled it in his hand, and then fastened it to his waist: "Transform!"

Come on!

Banana Arms!

Knight of Spear!

As the energy waves splashed in all directions, Aojiao, clad in banana armor, raised his lance and aimed it at Shacheng.

“Jiedou, you…”

"Shut up, you're not worthy to call me that!" Aoko, who had taken a step forward, suddenly thrust out with his spear. "Only the real Kuzunoha Kouta can call me that!"

"Oh!"

The lance pierced the wooden counter, which suddenly exploded, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

When Aojiao made his move, Sha Cheng pushed the counter with both arms and slid backward. During the backward slide, Sha Cheng pulled off the Cutting Blade on his waist drive.

“Soiya!

Pine Arms!

Destroy!

A bright yellow pineapple armor appeared, and the pineapple hammer was held in Silly Orange's hand.

"Do we really have to fight? We're friends, aren't we?"

"Shut up!"

Kicking aside the broken pieces of the counter blocking his way, Ao Jiao strode towards Sha Cheng, his lance stabbing at Sha Cheng without mercy.

Each thrust was accompanied by a strong whistling sound, and Sha Cheng, dodging left and right, had no chance to fight back.

Or rather, they had no intention of fighting back.

He simply couldn't bring himself to harm Ao Jiao, even though the other party showed him strong hostility and murderous intent.

"What's wrong? All you do is dodge?"

Ao Jiao swept his lance out, slamming it heavily into Sha Cheng's chest, sending him flying.

"Oh!"

After crashing through a wall, Silly Orange landed on the street outside. Ao Jiao looked at Silly Orange, whose chest armor was emitting white smoke, without any change in expression.

After passing through the hole smashed by Silly Orange, Proud Banana arrived on the street.

Lying on the ground, Sha Cheng looked at Ao Jiao with a struggle in his eyes. Without saying a word, Ao Jiao once again raised his gun and charged at Sha Cheng.

"clang!"

Sha Cheng swiftly turned and blocked the lance with his heavy hammer, saying in pain, "Does it have to be a fight to the death?"

"Hmph, you don't deserve to exist. The one who should truly exist is the Kouta Kuzuha I know."

"You have no right to live in this world!"

The arrogant banana, which had been pressing down hard, suddenly kicked out, hitting the silly orange squarely in the stomach.

Silly Orange didn't budge, but spoke with a pained and struggling tone: "Is there a difference? I'm the same as him!"

"You are not the Kouta Kuzuha I know!"

With a flick of his Cutting Blade at his waist, Aojiao thrust out his spear, leaving a deep gash in Shacheng's chest. Shacheng was also sent flying backward by the stab.

"Boom!"

As Sha Cheng lay sprawled on the ground, savoring the metallic taste in his mouth, his eyes slowly hardened with determination: "I haven't fulfilled his dream yet, I haven't kept my promise, how can I fall here!"

Silly Orange stood up unsteadily and swung the heavy hammer in his hand. One end of the pineapple hammer was connected by an extremely tough alloy wire, and the other end was a handle for gripping.

The hammer swung, creating a whooshing sound. Silly Orange released the alloy wire, and the heavy hammer flew out like a cannonball.

"That's more like it."

With a flick of his arm, Ao Jiao's lance moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling towards the heavy hammer thrown by Sha Cheng.

"Ding!"

The spear tip collided with the heavy hammer, producing a crisp sound. Ao Jiao felt a powerful force strike him, and the lance in his hand was bent and arched upwards by the heavy hammer.
