The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Because the police officer is very kind to me, I don't want anything to happen to him!"

The little guy, who answered earnestly, stared at the experienced driver with wide eyes. He was good to whoever was good to him.

The world of children is so simple and pure!

Cast me a papaya and give it to Qiong Ju.

That's all there is to it!

"No!" The experienced driver shook his head and looked at the little guy, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "I'd rather you choose her than me!"

"why?"

The little guy, utterly bewildered, curled his tail into a question mark. "Why choose her? I don't know her, and she's not related to me. You're nice to me, so I'll save you. I don't care about anyone else!"

After hearing the little guy's words, the experienced driver chuckled bitterly and said, "Hehehe..."

"You really think highly of me!"

"Mr. Tomari!" Shijima Kiriko looked at the old driver with concern. The old driver waved his hand without answering, then squatted down in front of the little guy and said, "Go back now!"

Don't come here again!

"Why?!" the puzzled little guy exclaimed. "Daddy wants me to learn from you, so why are you chasing me away?!"

“Because…” The experienced driver stood up, looked at the extra-thick soy milk, and said softly, “I’m a policeman!”

"I can't teach the young masters of wealthy families, nor do I dare to!"

"Go back!"

"But......"

Before the little guy could finish speaking, a furious roar rang in his ear: "No buts!"

After saying that, the veteran driver stormed off from the base.

"Misty Sister, what did Meow do wrong?"

The little guy, with his innocent, bewildered eyes, looked at Shijima Kiriko. Shijima Kiriko sighed, walked over, and squatted down: "Sigh, I'll call your family and have them come pick you up!"

"But......"

"You stay here obediently!"

Kiriko took out her phone and started calling the Sonozaki family. After receiving a reply shortly, Kiriko walked over to the little guy, patted his head, and said, "Wait a moment, your family will come to pick you up!"

"Misty Sister, meow..."

After shaking her head at the little guy, Shijima Kiriko picked him up and left the base.

"Sigh..." Saito sighed, and a melancholy emoticon appeared on the screen.

The vast Drive base fell silent.

Holding the little one, Shijima Kiriko went straight to the entrance of the Kuruma driving license test center to wait for the person who was coming to pick up the little one.

Half an hour later, a black sedan stopped at the entrance of the examination hall.

Is this your car?

Shijima Kiriko stared at the luxury car in surprise and uncertainty. Before she could make a move, the car door opened, and a little girl wearing a gorgeous black dress and holding an ivory folding fan stepped out...

"Mommy Na!"

Upon seeing Serena, the little one called out. Serena frowned as she looked at Shijima Kiriko, who was holding the baby, and said, "Little girl, don't hold my son like that. He'll be very uncomfortable!"

"Ah..." Startled by Serena's aura, Shijima Kiriko handed the little one over as if waking from a dream. Serena took the little one and hugged it in her arms like a child.

After looking Shijima Kiriko up and down, Serena teased, "Little girl, smile more often. If you always have a serious face, you'll get wrinkles!"

Serena chuckled softly as she wiped Shijima Kiriko's lips, then turned and got into the car.

As the car drove away, Shijima Kiriko touched her mouth. "If I don't smile, will I get wrinkles?!"

While Shijima Kiriko was still in a daze, the car had already driven onto the highway.

"What's wrong? You look down."

Looking at the sullen little one in her arms, Serena asked softly. The little one looked up and asked softly, "Mommy, do you think I did something wrong?"

"what happened?"

After the little guy told Serena everything that had happened, Serena frowned: "Did that policeman yell at you?"

"No, I just don't understand why the policeman is so angry?"

"Ha, we have different paths, we can't work together. He's not one of us!" Serena gently stroked the puzzled little boy's back. "You'll understand later!"

"But Meow understands now!"

Seeing the little guy's longing gaze, Serena's face fell: "Fine, go back and ask your dad!"

"profound!"

The little guy with its curled tail lay on Serena's lap. "Then I'll go ask Daddy!"

The entire journey was speechless.

After returning to the Sonozaki mansion, the little guy jumped out of the car in a hurry and ran towards his father.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy..."

Miku, who was curled up on the balcony with his eyes closed, twitched his tail and said, "Is he calling for a funeral?!"

"Your old man isn't dead yet!"

Upon seeing Miku, the little guy suddenly darted over, and Miku swung its tail to catch the little guy and placed it beside it.

"Dad, I want to ask you a question!"

"Speak!" Miku said calmly, his eyes slightly opening as he glanced at the red cat hiding in the bushes below.

The girl in the fitted maid outfit looked around, searching for something. Miku flicked her tail, and a streak of fire flew out, striking Miku's butt with perfect accuracy.

"Ow!"

The red cat, who jumped out of the bushes with a cry of pain, stared at the girl, but was eventually dragged away by the overjoyed girl.

"Brother, you tricked me!"

Mick looked at Miku on the balcony with grief and indignation. Miku turned his head to look at the little guy who was talking about his own affairs with a serious expression.

Do you think you did something wrong?

"Meow thinks I'm right, but something feels off, and I don't know how to put it."

The little guy frowned and put his two front paws to his chest. Miku stretched out his paw and slowly smoothed out the little guy's frown: "You feel something is wrong because you have a fundamental conflict with that police officer."

"A fundamental conflict?"

"Ok!"

Miku straightened up and changed to a squatting position. "Tomari Shinnosuke is a person with a very strong sense of justice. As a police officer, he considers protecting citizens as his duty, not to mention that he is a Kamen Rider."

"A man like this values ​​other people's lives more than his own!"

"Now do you understand the differences and conflicts between the two of you?"

Miku stared at the little guy, who was still somewhat puzzled: "But why would he value other people's lives more than his own?"

"Isn't it better to only think of yourself?"

Faced with the little guy's question, Miku flicked his tail and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, that guy said he wouldn't let you go anymore?"

"Yeah, he said he can't teach the cat, so he wants the cat to go home!"

"In that case, I'll find you another one. You can study with him for a while and think about this issue carefully."

"We need to find a teacher?" The little guy pouted. "Can he meow?"

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare. If he dares to yell at you, I'll beat him up for you!"

"real?!"

"real!"

Miku flicked its tail and hooked the little guy over. The little guy was stunned for a moment, then rubbed against Miku affectionately and made a purring sound in its throat.

Two cats huddled together on the balcony, enjoying the moment while gazing at the distant windmill tower.

A man in a red leather jacket suddenly sneezed. "Who's talking about me?!"

Chapter Twenty: The Young Master of the Museum!

As night fell, the family, who had just finished dinner, gathered in the side room to enjoy their post-dinner time.

Miku lay on the sofa with its eyes slightly closed, its tail twitching occasionally. The little guy pounced around Miku's tail, baring its teeth and claws.

"Master, a man claiming to be an acquaintance of yours wishes to see you!"

The head maid, dressed in a robe, arrived at the entrance to the side hall and respectfully reported to Miku. Miku's eyes slightly opened a crack: "An acquaintance of mine?!"

"Yes!"

Miku hesitated for a moment, then flicked its tail again. The little guy missed its target, then lay down headfirst, wiggling its little bottom, its eyes fixed on Miku's tail.

"Then let him in. At this time of year, I don't have any acquaintances in Fengdu."

"Yes, I'll call him in right away!"

The head maid under the dress turned to lead the person away, and Serena stopped what she was doing and raised her eyelids: "Do you know who it is?"

"How would I know? The acquaintances in Fengdu have either left or already said goodbye. I was wondering about it!"

While Miku and Serena were talking, a short man walked in with a fawning smile on his face.

"Um?!"

Miku glanced at the man a few times and was quite certain that he didn't know such a person, but when the man came in and saw Miku lying on the head seat, his expression suddenly became extremely exaggerated.

"Ah!!!" the man who came running over exclaimed dramatically, "Isn't this Lord Miku, the executioner from the museum back then!?"

"Oh, you actually know who I was back then!" The cat let out a soft exclamation, glanced at the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man in front of it for a few moments, and then slowly said, "You must have been one of the lowest-ranking thugs back then."
