The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Where are we going next?!" asked the small white cat crouching beside the first cat to speak. The first cat, who had opened its mouth, chuckled and replied, "To a new world, of course, to witness new things!"

"it is good!"

"Let's go!"

The two cats walked forward side by side, and a crack filled with light opened up. The two cats walked into it and disappeared.

Just after the two cats left, a cat darted across the rooftops of the street, stopped, and looked down at the young man, a glint of fire in its eyes.

"Oh............"

(Kamitsu arc, complete!)

Chapter 1: Kidnapped at the Start of a New World? Miku is the new head of the Sonozaki family!

In the dark night, only a few stars were visible, and heavy clouds obscured the moon.

In the darkness, a few dim streetlights flickered, and phototactic mosquitoes fluttered their wings around the lights.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Some heavy footsteps came from the street, and a burly man was carrying a white convenience bag containing discounted fried chicken and beer from a convenience store.

The man skillfully turned into a side alley. The alley was winding and uneven. He followed the complex terrain to the front of a dilapidated izakaya (Japanese pub). A white sign on the door read "Closed for Renovation."

"Creak..."

The man who pushed the door open went inside, and without even taking off his shoes, he walked through the stacked tables and chairs and went straight to the back kitchen.

The kitchen was brightly lit, and three or five burly men were gathered inside, playing cards around a table.

"Hey, Momotaro, you've bought the things!"

The slender middle-aged man approached the burly Momotaro. After handing over the items he was carrying, Momotaro glanced at a corner of the kitchen.

"That thing is still sleeping?!"

"Hmm, no wonder he comes from a prestigious family, he sleeps like a pig!"

"Watch closely, whether we live a life of luxury or ride the wave of success depends on this deal!"

"Alright, don't worry." The gaunt man handed out beer as he confidently said, "The cages are all electrified, this little thing definitely won't be able to escape!"

"It's better to be careful, after all, that family has gone completely mad just to find this little guy."

"Doesn't that mean we can spin even more!" The gaunt man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and rubbed his thumb and forefinger together.

"Better safe than sorry!"

Momotaro picked up a can of beer, popped the tab, and gulped it down, his eyes fixed on the cage in the corner. "The Sonozaki family..."

Inside the cage, a cat more than twice the size of an average house cat was curled up in a ball, breathing evenly through its mouth and nose, fast asleep.

This cat's tail is unlike that of an ordinary domestic cat; it is exceptionally long, about twice the length of its body, with evenly distributed white-gold markings on its blue fur.

"Hey, what breed is this cat? It looks so weird!"

"I think it might be the product of some kind of genetic experiment, otherwise how could it grow up like this?!"

"Fine, whatever kind it is, as long as we can make money off it."

"Yeah, hahaha..."

.......

The noisy voices, the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and the stench of rotting kitchen waste traveled through the cat's nostrils into his brain.

"Ah!"

The cat, which had just sneezed, slowly opened its eyes, and a faint flame flickered in its right eye.

"Where am I?!"

Miku opened his eyes and was about to stretch his body when he was suddenly struck by a sharp, needle-like pain. Blue arcs of electricity crackled on the cage bars and struck him.

"Am I in a cage?!"

The cat, its brows furrowed, surveyed its surroundings. The noisy voices reached its ears, and following the sound, Miku met the eyes of a burly man.

Momotaro crumpled the empty beer can into a ball, then patted the gaunt man on the shoulder: "This thing's awake. Get some more anesthetic!"

"Awake again?" The gaunt man sneered, looked at the good hand of cards in his hand, then at the cat, and thinking about the luxurious life he might live in the future, he slammed the cards on the table.

"Damn!"

The gaunt man, cursing and swearing, took out some anesthetic, then took out some cat food. After mixing the anesthetic into the cat food, he poured some murky water into the chipped bowl to make the effect take effect faster.

Miku saw all of this. The cat, watching coldly, stared intently as the other person unplugged the power switch and then threw the bowl into the cage.

"Eat quickly, then go to sleep!"

"Damn it, if you weren't so valuable, I would have turned you into a vest!"

The gaunt man, cursing and swearing, kicked the cage, causing the water in the bowl to spill out and splash onto Miku's paws as the cage shook.

Miku, whose brow remained furrowed, raised his paw, a hint of disgust in his eyes.

“Although I don’t know what’s going on, but…” With a flash of fire in his eyes, Miku flicked his tail, and the cage that held him was neatly cut into pieces.

"I'm a little annoyed!"

Miku emerging from the broken cage filled Momotaro with terror. The cat had been sleeping peacefully inside ever since they'd brought it there, without causing any disturbance.

But this gave him a bad feeling.

Rumor has it that this family is a monster family!

Miku stared coldly at the rabble in front of him. Although he didn't know what mistake he had made when he traveled through the world or what identity he had been given, these people were undoubtedly a breakthrough point.

"Let's deal with some of them first!"

With a thought, several zipper-like spatial rifts opened behind the cat, and everyone stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the cracks in the air.

"ah!!"

"Eee-ya!!"

"Hey!"

Amidst the strange cries, several lower-level Inves leaped out of the spatial rift. Miku's gaze swept over the group before finally settling on Momotaro.

"Apart from this, the rest are all yours!"

As soon as Miku finished speaking, his subordinates, Inves, rushed out, and everyone's faces showed fear.

Momotaro, the burly man, shrank back, his face turning deathly pale. "Just as I thought, the Sonozaki clan is a monster clan, just like the rumors say!"

"Noisy!"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and the burly man, Momotaro, could only stammer, his mouth seemingly taped shut.

By this time, the lower-ranking Inves had slaughtered the remaining people, leaving limbs and blood scattered on the ground and splattered on the walls.

Inves, covered in blood, glared fiercely at Momotaro. Miku dodged the blood and jumped onto the table.

"Now, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer. If you lie..."

Miku glanced at the person next to him, the implication of which was self-evident.

"En!"

The man, nodding rapidly like a chick pecking at rice, had eyes full of terror. After Miku removed the seal from his mouth, he slowly asked, "First question, where is this place?!"

"here it is....."

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

Half an hour later, Miku, covered in blood, emerged from the izakaya and stood at the entrance, gazing at the dark night sky.

In the dark night sky, a huge windmill tower was faintly visible.

"I never thought I'd be back in Fukushima!"

After a moment of reflection, Miku began to wonder why he had ended up here. "Could it be because I messed up the coordinates?!"

"Or is it because of something else?"

After pondering for a long time with a furrowed brow, the cat sighed, "Never mind, I'm back now!"

"Then let's go home and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Miku disappeared from the doorway of the izakaya, leaving behind only a pile of corpses in the kitchen and a burly man whose head had been severed from his body.

Fuuto, Sonozaki Mansion.

Inside the hall, a petite girl in a silk nightgown sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading a book.

"Lady Serena, here's your black tea!"

After the maid respectfully placed the tray in front of Serena, Serena raised her eyelids and asked, "Is there still no news of him?"

"Not yet, and we don't know where the patriarch is!"

"That's it!"

With a sigh, Serena wearily rubbed her temples. "Where has that bastard been gallivanting off to again? He should be here by now!"

The maid did not answer, but stood respectfully to the side.

"Never mind, you can go now."

"Ok!"

Just as the maid was about to leave, Serena called her back: "Oh, right, tell the kitchen to prepare dinner in advance, and also to turn on the bathroom and fill it with bathwater. And while you're at it, call the head maid, Sugishita!"

"Yes!"

Not long after the maid left, the head maid, wearing glasses and a blouse, came to Serena.

"Lady Serena!"

"Any news about the young master lately?"

"We have asked many people to search for him, but we have not yet found any trace of the young master."
