The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Master, what are we going to do next?"

The little guy sat on Brother A's shoulder, and Brother A's originally cold face immediately melted away when he met the little guy's clear eyes.

"This time I'm here to find clues!" Brother A explained as he walked into the alley. "I received intelligence that someone is conducting illegal Gaia memory transactions inside."

"Gaia Memory?!"

The little guy tilted its head, wagging its tail as it asked, "What is Gaia Memory?!"

“Gaia Memory!” Brother A stopped in front of a small tavern in an alley, his face full of complex emotions, and said, “Gaia Memory is Pandora’s box that can trigger the darkest depths of people’s hearts!”

"You'll have to ask your dad for details; he knows more than I do!"

"Oh!"

The little guy nodded as if he understood, but Brother A put him down and said seriously, "You stay here and guard. If anyone runs out, you help your master stop them!"

"it is good!"

The little guy jumped up and nimbly landed on the wall of the alley.

After seeing that the little guy had hidden himself, Brother A's expression suddenly turned extremely cold and stern. He pulled out his ID and rushed in through the door.

"Everyone, cover your heads and lie face down!"

The customers in the restaurant stared at Brother A for a moment, and one of them, wearing a khaki jacket, immediately ran towards the kitchen.

"stop!"

As soon as Brother A, who had taken off after him, entered the kitchen, the other guests at the other tables exchanged glances and left their tables to walk outside.

Ten minutes later, a panting Brother A escorted the suspect who had just escaped back into the alley, but Brother A's face looked very grim.

The person he caught was just bait to lure him away, and Brother A's face was naturally very ugly after catching such a small fry.

After entering the alley and seeing the scene inside, Brother A's expression became extremely interesting.

Just because a group of people were squatting against the wall with their heads in their hands, while the little guy was walking around arrogantly in front of a group of suspects.

Many of the suspects had blackened faces and smelled of burning. Some even had black smoke coming out of their hair, with large patches of hair turned to ash.

"This is..."

"Master, I've caught them all!" The little guy, who had come bouncing up to Brother A for praise, looked up with his face full of desire for compliments.

Brother A squatted down, patted the little guy's head, and praised him, "Miko did a great job!"

"Hehehe..." The little guy chuckled shyly, his tail wiggling back and forth. Brother A stood up and looked at the group of people in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.

He had a feeling that he had caught a big fish this time!

A-ge didn't notice that the suspect, who was crouching down with his head in his hands, was focusing all his attention on the little guy.

His eyes didn't show resentment or anger, but rather surprise and shock.

It was like seeing a priceless treasure!

Brother A, who had gone to the side to make a phone call, told the little guy to keep an eye on these guys while he went to allocate manpower.

One of the lean men suddenly whispered to the little guy, "Hey, little kitty!"

"Um?!"

The little guy tilted his head and walked up to the lean man, pretending to be stern as he scolded, "Don't say a word!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the lean man readily agreed, but soon he asked the little guy, "Are you from the Sonozaki family?!"

"The son of Sonozaki Miko!"

"You know the cat's dad?!" The little guy looked puzzled, but the lean man's eyes lit up with elation after receiving the answer.

"I really want to get to know him, but I don't have the chance!"

"But seeing you is enough!"

That's enough!

The lean man glanced at Brother A, then buried his head even deeper, but he kept muttering to himself, "Finally met him, the rumors are true!"

"The rumors that the Muséun is about to be resurrected are true; one of them has indeed had offspring."

"Darkness will descend upon Fengdu once more!"

The wiry man muttering to himself slowly lost focus in his eyes. On one corner of his body, a mark slowly heated and shone, but it quickly disappeared!

Meanwhile, in a restaurant in Fengdu.

A young man in a well-tailored suit stopped what he was doing. His eyes, which had lost focus, saw the little guy in front of him, and he could hear the conversation between the lean man and the little guy.

After a long while, and after repeatedly confirming the information transmitted by his puppet, the young man's face flushed with excitement.

"The Sonozaki family still has descendants, even if it's just a cat, that's enough!"

"Great!" The young man's sudden exclamation drew the attention of the other guests, and he became somewhat neurotic, leaving the table and pacing back and forth.

At that moment, a woman wearing a long white dress and a leather jacket draped over her shoulders pressed down on the young man's shoulder: "Calm down!"

"But...."

"I know, but now we need to wait for the right opportunity, the chance to completely take control of the Museum!"

"Hmm!" The madness in the young man's eyes dissipated, and he regained his composure, saying, "But that big cat?!"

"It's just an animal. Does it really matter whether the wind is chaotic or not, or whether a cat has to decide that?!"

"No, the decision is ours!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Let Me Show You the Foundation of Our Family!

Night falls in Fengdu.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!"

The little guy, who had seven dads in a second, darted in from outside the door, followed by a maid with an anxious expression.

"Master, I have already tried to persuade the young master!"

To avoid punishment, the anxious-looking maid opened her mouth to defend herself.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now!"

Miku nodded slightly, signaling the girl to step back, while the little guy struggled to climb up the sofa.

"Naughty!"

Seeing the little guy staring at him expectantly, Miku stretched out its tail and curled it up beside it.

Knowing what his father was talking about, the little guy smiled shyly, then snuggled up to Miku and started rubbing against him.

He can jump over walls, but he struggles to climb a sofa. Isn't that just being naughty?

But he's just a kid!

They always want to get adults' attention and crave more attention.

"What did you do today!?"

Serena looked at the little guy and asked softly. The little guy lay down next to Miku, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then excitedly said, "Catch the bad guys!"

"They caught so many bad guys!"

"Terui Ryu actually took you to arrest criminals?!" Serina's eyebrows furrowed, and her expression turned somewhat displeased.

"Alright, just shut up. It's already a favor that you brought Miko along, and besides, they've been really dedicated to teaching Miko."

Miku glared at Serena. This old woman always spoils the little guy. Doesn't she know that a doting mother spoils her child?

"Hmph, you think you know everything!"

Serena rolled her eyes at Miku and continued with her major project.

"By the way, where's Iggy?!" Miku asked, noticing that her dog was missing. Serena paused in her knitting upon hearing this.

"He's been getting on the nerves with the kitchen staff lately. If it weren't for the recent pay raise, everyone in the kitchen would have quit!"

"Alright, I know what's going on!" Miku, somewhat exasperated, seemed to see the husky squatting at the kitchen door, grinning mischievously as it forced the chefs to work overtime.

Since breaking free from the constraints of being a coin creation, Iggy has regained the senses that a living being should have.

But ever since he regained his senses, this bastard has been inseparable from the kitchen, forcing the cooks to prepare food for him.

If Miku hadn't repeatedly ordered him to, Ichi might have even tasted the things in the toilet.

"father!"

"Um?!"

Miku looked at his cub, whose tail swayed and hooked around the tip of Miku's tail. The little guy softly asked, "What is Gaia Memory?!"

"Where did you hear that from?!"

“Uncle Teruji said so!” The little guy decisively sold out Brother A and continued, “He said that the Gaia Memory is a Pandora’s box that can induce darkness in people’s hearts.”

"But what is Pandora's Box?"

Seeing his own kid turn into a walking encyclopedia of questions, Miku wanted nothing more than to slap A-ge to death.

You said you were going to teach the child, so why did you have to say so much to him? Now it's all on me.

Miku's slightly twitching lips caught Serena's eye, and a soft chuckle escaped her lips.

Miku glanced over, but Serena packed her things to leave the side hall: "Alright, it's your turn now. I'm going to the kitchen to hurry them up and drag Ichi back with me."

Seeing that the gloating Serena had left the side hall, Miku couldn't very well lash out, so he could only patiently say, "Since you want to know, then I'll just tell you!"

“However…” Miku changed the subject, looking at the little guy and gently stroking his head with her paw: “We’ll talk about it after dinner, and I’ll show you our family’s resources while we’re at it!”

"Foundation?!"

"Ok!"

"Capable of supporting the foundation of a family!" Miku stared at the wall clock with a deep look in his eyes, his thoughts wandering elsewhere.
