The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Keep searching, expand the search area, increase manpower, no matter how much it costs, we must find the young master!"

"Yes!"

Sensing the seriousness in Serena's words, the head maid immediately agreed.

"The patriarch is back! The patriarch is back!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, and a maid under the head maid's command rushed in, still catching her breath, and quickly said, "Master, you're back!"

"That bastard is finally back!"

Serena put the book on the table, got up, and walked outside.

At the same time, Miku stood at the gate, looking at the mansion in front of him that was exactly the same as he remembered.

"I didn't expect that guy to be telling the truth!"

"The Sonozaki mansion still exists, but what about the rest of the family?" With that thought, Miku ran straight through the slowly opening gate toward the mansion. Before he even reached the door, a long line of people had already come to greet him.

A long red carpet was laid out, with a row of maids standing on each side. Behind Serena, who was wearing pajamas, were the head maid and the maid who had delivered the message earlier.

As Serena walked down the red carpet to stand before Miku, tears welled in her eyes: "You bastard, you're finally back!"

"Salina?!"

As Miku frowned, still puzzled, everyone around him bowed respectfully and said in unison, "Welcome home, Patriarch!"

"Master, it's me?!"

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

Below the driving license test center in Kuruma, the city next to Fuuto.

In a spacious garage, a red, streamlined sports car is parked in the center, with a stand next to it and a belt wrapped around it.

"Drip~~"

Amidst the sudden sound of a car horn, a humanoid electronic image flashed in the center of the belt.

"I dreamt about that time again. Drive's plan must begin as soon as possible!"

Chapter Two: You guys continue, I'm going to find my child!

Fuuto, Sonozaki Mansion.

It was late at night, but the entire mansion was brightly lit, and servants carrying trays were bringing meals to the dining room in waves.

Inside the restaurant, a cat with a napkin tied around its chest sat at the head of the table, opened its mouth, and with a flick of its tongue, swallowed the food from the plate in front of it.

"Hey, where's your dog?!"

Serena sat to one side, propping her chin up as she watched the cat feasting on the head of the table. Miku's expression froze: "Damn it, I was so busy venting my anger that I forgot about the dog!"

Remembering how he had sent Iggy and Mick away, Miku's expression softened. "I'll go find him and bring him back tomorrow!"

"Okay, and bring Miko back while you're at it!"

“I know, Mick is with Iggy too!”

"No, not Mik, it's Miko!!!" Serena slammed her hand on the table with a serious expression. Upon seeing this, Miko's napkin automatically floated up and he touched his mouth.

"You all go down first. You haven't forgotten the three principles of the Sonozaki family, have you?"

The cat, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, scanned all the maids around it. The head maid, Shirtless, was the first to bow and say, "Of course, even though the previous head of the family and Miss are no longer here, you are the head of the family now, and your will is the will of the entire Sonozaki family!"

"Hmm!" The cat slowly nodded as a figure flashed through its mind. "By the way, where's Yako?"

"Miss Ya has gone abroad and is not in the country now."

"I see..." Miku flicked its tail, a hint of understanding in its eyes. "Then you can go down!"

"Don't give up on finding the young master, intensify the search!" Serena continued, and the head maid nodded, leading all the maids out of the restaurant.

"Tell me, how did you get here?" Miku pulled down the napkin from around his neck with his tail, threw it onto the table, and then leaped onto the dining table, standing upright.

“I don’t know either. Ever since Mick and the little guy mysteriously disappeared into the spatial rift, I’ve been worried for a long time. But a month ago, when I was organizing my collection, I was suddenly sucked into a spatial rift.”

"After arriving here, I was picked up by the Sonozaki family's car and brought here!"

"I see...."

Miku, a hint of doubt in her eyes, recalled a figure flashing through her mind. The cat clicked its tongue and then revealed its displeasure: "That guy is such a busybody!"

"What did you say?!"

"It's nothing, it's getting late, go to sleep early!"

Miku ended the conversation first, intending to go to his room, but Serena grabbed his tail: "Don't go yet, we're not finished talking!"

"What do you want to talk about?!"

Slightly impatient, Miku stopped in his tracks. Serena scooped him up in her arms and gently stroked his back hair.

Miku, who had showered before dinner, smelled strongly of shower gel. As Serena gently stroked Miku, she said, "It's time to have a proper talk with you."

What should we talk about?

Miku squinted, enjoying Serena's caresses. Serena whispered, "About that child, that is..."

"Your son, Miko!"

"Son, I don't remember having such a thing!"

Miku, whose tail gently hooked around the gauze curtain's wrist, opened his eyes. Serena picked Miku up and held him face to face.

"Don't deny it, I know you've seen him!"

"Which little guy are you talking about?" Miku asked casually, a hint of understanding in his eyes. "That guy does look a lot like me, but saying he's my son is a bit much!"

"Look at me!" Serena yanked Miku's head back. "That child is your son, even though he wasn't born naturally. Blood-wise, he is your son!"

"It's your son, Sakiko's son!"

"What do you want to say?" Miku asked coldly. Serena slammed Miku onto the table. "I want you to find him and fulfill your responsibilities as a father!"

"do not want!"

Miku turned away and was about to leave the restaurant when Serena stood up abruptly, grabbed a knife from the table, and pointed it at her own fair and delicate neck.

"Miku, if you dare to leave, I'll die right here today!"

Miku stopped and turned to look at Serena, who had a knife pressed against her neck. The sharp blade of the knife pierced her skin, and glaring blood trickled down her neck.

“That child is your son, you have to take full responsibility!” Serena’s expression was very serious, even somewhat hysterical.

"He is Amy's hope. Amy is gone, he only has you left!"

"You're all I have left, don't you understand?!"

"You are his father, taking care of him is your responsibility and your duty!"

Serena's voice trembled with a hint of tears. Miku sighed helplessly, his figure flashing as he transformed into his monster form and appeared in front of Serena. He snatched the knife from her and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Don't do that again, it's dangerous!"

"Ok!"

Serena looked up. "Are you going to pick him up?" Miku nodded, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I will!"

After saying that, he reached out and wiped away the wound on Serena's neck. Once the wound disappeared, Miku gave Serena a push: "Go and get some rest!"

"it is good!"

Serena left the restaurant, leaving Miku alone.

"Son... huh?!"

The knife in Miku's hand turned into molten iron and flowed down. With a complex look in his eyes, Miku recalled a figure in his mind.

"Father..."

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

The next day.

On the streets of Kuruma, a city adjacent to Futo.

A husky with its tongue lolling out is carrying two cats, one big and one small, on its back as it strolls down the street.

"Uncle, I'm hungry!"

The baby's stomach rumbled, and Mick's lips twitched, but he forced a smile: "It's okay, there will be food soon!"

"Really?!"

"real!"

"Woof woof..."

Iggy barked twice in response, while his stomach rumbled incessantly.

"I know you're hungry too, don't worry, there will be food soon!"

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Mick surveyed the surrounding shops, already prepared to rob them, not for anything else but to fill the little guy's stomach.

The poor little guy has never known what hunger is since he was born.

As the fierce look in Mick's eyes rapidly spread, his stomach churned, making clear sounds.

"Damn it, how did you turn me into a flesh and blood body? This is such a hassle!"

Mick muttered a complaint to himself as his eyes darted back and forth. The last time they met Mick, Mick had injected a golden ball of light into his body. Before he could even react, he was overwhelmed by intense pain as he fell into the spatial rift.

The pain came and went quickly, and when it was all over, Mick discovered that he had regained his flesh and blood.

It became just like an ordinary house cat.

No, it should be a tiger in cat's skin!

As Mick continued searching for his next target, a young man in a black suit flashed into his line of sight; the young man had a belt hanging from his waist.

"What is this?"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Mick saw the other person about to leave and immediately grabbed Iggy by the scruff of the neck: "Idiot, catch up with that young man ahead."

"Huh?!"
