The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Serena, who was holding the little guy in her arms, hugged him tightly and rubbed her face against him.

After Mick and Iggy climbed into their respective spots, Miku, seeing that everyone had arrived, spoke softly.

"Tell the restaurant to serve the food!"

"Yes!"

The head maid, who was waiting nearby, notified the kitchen to serve the dishes, while Miku also looked at the little guy.

"You look just like me!"

Miku, who could feel the pulse of blood emanating from the little guy's body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the image of Amy flashed through his mind.

"That woman is really audacious!"

Just as Miku was pondering, the maids began to serve the dishes quickly. Many of the maids serving the dishes were unfamiliar faces, but there were also familiar faces.

Faced with a table full of sumptuous food, Mick and Iggy climbed onto the table and quickly devoured the food.

"Dad, you eat!"

A childish voice interrupted Miku's thoughts. Looking in the direction of the sound, Miku saw a little guy pushing a plate towards him.

The little guy squatting next to the plate had Miku's image reflected in his pure, big eyes. Miku looked down at the little guy in front of him and raised his hand.

Miku gently stroked the little guy's back and whispered, "I'm not hungry yet, you eat first!"

After being petted by Miku with a blissful expression, the little guy jumped and bounced around excitedly. Watching the little guy jumping around, Serena said softly, "Alright, let's eat!"

"Ok!"

The little guy nodded emphatically, buried his head in his plate, and gulped down his food.

"You stupid dog, this is mine!"

"Whoosh!!!"

Mick's shout and Iggy's growl came from the dining table, where a cat and a dog, who had devoured all the food on the table, were now fighting over the last plate.

"release!"

"Whoosh...roar!"

"Smack smack..."

After the little guy sat between them and started eating from the plate, a gentle light appeared in Mick and Iggy's eyes.

After noticing each other's shared emotions, the cat and dog turned their heads away in unison and let out a cold snort.

Only the little guy who was happily eating remained.

Finally, two hours later, lunchtime came to an end.

The price was that the two cats and the dog, their bellies bulging, lay on the ground whimpering, the kitchen staff were all exhausted, and the maids serving the food were drenched in sweat.

"Alright, stop lying around like corpses!"

Seeing the three little ones sprawled on the carpet, Miku stood up from her chair. "Let's go to the garden to digest our food!"

"Um?!"

Mick looked up in confusion and asked, "Digestion? How do I digest it?"

Miku, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes, declared, "Fight!"

"what?!"

"Huh?!"

"Great!"

The back garden of the Sonozaki mansion.

Serena, who had been served tea and refreshments by her servants, sat at the table with a parasol behind her, her beautiful eyes fixed on the four people in front of her.

"You two can do whatever you want!"

"Do whatever you want!" Mick looked at Iggy with a malicious smile. Iggy lowered his body without backing down and roared.

"You stupid dog, I've disliked you for a long time!"

"Awooo..."

"Come on, if I don't pluck all your hair out this time, I'm not a Mi!"

"Awoooooo..."

The cat and dog quickly started fighting. After seeing this, Miku squatted down and looked at the little guy, especially after seeing the hand-shaped pendant hanging around the little guy's neck. Miku flicked the pendant and said, "Come on, kid, let me see your strength!"

"Uh-huh!"

The little guy flicked its tail across its chest, as if to say, "Driver On Please!"

"Transform!"

“Courage Action!”

As the ring clicked on the driver, the magic within Miko's body resonated with the ring through the belt, and a stirring chant arose:

"Howl, howl, howl, Roar of courage!"

The driver projected a pure red magic circle into the air, with wisps of ripples swirling around it.

At the center of the magic circle was the tiger head emblem of the Northeast Axe, and the rotating magic circle quickly passed through the little guy's body.

Enveloped in the faint glow of magic, the little creature's body twisted and stretched, slowly rising upright.

"Shh!"

With a single wave of his arm, he dispelled the faint magical light surrounding him, and amidst the overflowing particles of light, the knight in pure red armor stood before Miku.

"It looks promising!"

After examining the little guy, Miku took out his Wizard Driver, put on the ring, patted it on his waist, and transformed into his basic Wild form.

"Come on, let me see your strength!"

"it is good!"

The little guy nodded emphatically and said in his childish voice, "Then I'm coming!"

The little guy lunged at Miku and threw a punch, but Miku nimbly shifted his feet and turned to the side to dodge it, then swung his tail and slapped the little guy's bottom.

"Oh!"

The little guy who fell to the ground quickly got up, stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, leaped up, and kicked at Miku.

"Snapped!"

Miku, who had grabbed the little guy's right leg, threw him back down. "Too light! Use more force!"

"Ok!"

The little guy, who kept getting up after falling, relentlessly attacked Miku, but Miku dodged each attack.

Miku frowned as he kicked the little guy to the ground again. "All you can do is punch and kick?"

"Where are the weapons? Bring them out!"

"Ok!"

The little guy put on the Connect ring and exclaimed, "Connect Action!"

A pure red magic circle was projected into the air by the driver, and the little guy reached in and pulled it out.

The little guy held the long-handled serrated knife in his hand, and Miku looked at the weapon in the little guy's hand, which revealed a ferocious steel beauty, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Did Amy prepare this for him?"

"Ok!"

"That really has her style!"

Miku sighed, and the whistling wind reached his ears. Taking advantage of the moment when Miku and Serena were talking, the little guy slashed at him mercilessly.

"not bad!"

Miku, who had stopped the blade with two fingers, nodded, his eyes showing approval for the first time: "The timing was excellent, and the strike was ruthless and decisive. Very good!"

"It's just that its strength is a little lacking!"

Miku pulled his arm back and then kicked out with a whip, though not with much force.

But this also sent the little guy flying sideways. After grabbing the little guy's weapon, Miku watched the little guy get up:

"Son, what are your dreams?!"

Chapter Four: Kneel Down!

"Son, what are your dreams?"

Miku took the little guy's serrated long-handled knife in his hand, and the little guy rolled over, knelt on the ground, and tilted his head to think.

"dream?!"

“Yes, that’s your goal, your path, your…” Miku looked deeply at the little guy and slowly uttered the last two words: “Ambition!”

"This one..."

The little guy, kneeling on the ground scratching his head, had his tail wagging back and forth behind him, clearly deep in thought.

"If you don't know yet, that's fine. Just tell me when you figure it out!"

Miku flipped his wrist, planting the serrated long-handled knife upside down in the grass, and turned to leave.

"I want to be like my dad!"

Suddenly, the little guy spoke up, looking very seriously at Miku's back, and said with utmost sincerity: "Be as strong as Daddy, and be able to protect the people around you like Daddy!"

Miku, who had his back to the little guy, shuddered and whispered with his head down, "I see...."

"I understand, I will arrange everything for you!"

After saying that, Miku disappeared into the garden, leaving behind only the cat and dog still fighting.
