The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"I originally wanted to come and see if I could make this bastard angry, but who knew I'd end up watching such a show!"

After nimbly scaling the wall, Miku decided to go back and chew some cat food to calm her nerves.

"This is absolutely disgusting!"

"No video version, Late Night PLAY.avi!"

Miku, lamenting the complexities of city life, couldn't wait to give Isaka Shinkuro a lesson.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"

Miku jumped onto the wall of the abandoned building, gazed in the direction of Isaka Hospital, and finally jumped off the wall.

"That day won't be too far away!"

Chapter 57: Wakana's Unusual Behavior, The Beautiful Magician's Request

Fengdu, a restaurant.

Cheers! *4

Shotaro and his three friends raised their juices and clinked them together. A-kun and Akiko sat together, while Shotaro and his partner sat opposite them.

Philip, who had just taken a sip of juice, glanced at the somewhat reluctant Shotaro and teased, "Shotaro, what's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten a dead rat!"

Looking at A-ge across from him with a displeased expression, Shotaro acted like he was sulking with a child, "How can I be happy sitting across from this guy?"

"Also, why is this guy showing up at our institute's gathering?!"

"Don't forget, there's a round, chubby guy guarding the place!"

Akiko, who was dressed in a formal suit as usual, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "What's wrong with it!"

"We happen to have four free vouchers, so calling Shanglong wouldn't be a problem!"

"They have been helping us all along without expecting anything in return!"

Akiko looked at A-ge with stars in her eyes, and A-ge joked, "So, does that mean I'll have to charge you from now on?"

"That's rare! You can joke around too!"

Philip, who had just tightened a screw, looked up and glanced at Akiko and A-ge sitting together. The two of them were surprisingly well-matched!

"I'd rather chew cat food with that cat!"

Shotaro was still quite annoyed. After making a complaint, he asked Philip in confusion, "You haven't finished making this little gadget that Sherrard sent?"

"It'll be ready soon!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Inside the restaurant, an elderly man in a white suit with silver hair, full of energy, held a microphone and said, "Welcome everyone to Frank Silver's Magic World!"

As he spoke, he casually flicked his wrist, and a long staff appeared in his hand.

"Holy crap, Frank Silver is still putting on an act!"

Shotaro was quite surprised by the old man's appearance.

"Today, my partner and heir, Lily Shirogane, will be performing for everyone!"

Frank Shigehiro turned to the side of the stage and pointed to the side. At that moment, a long-legged woman wearing a magician's hat, a tuxedo, and black stockings appeared on stage with a big smile on her face!

"What a stunning beauty!"

Shotaro clapped his hands excitedly and began to speak. Lily Shirogane entered the stage and performed several nimble somersaults. When she landed, the heel of her high heel landed precisely on a hidden button on the stage.

"boom!"

After a muffled thud, fireworks burst forth.

"Oh!"

Upon seeing this change, Lily Shirogane couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a sound.

"This is definitely the final touch!"

Akiko viciously shoved a piece of steak into her mouth. Women are naturally resentful of women who are superior to them, and Lily Shirogane possessed a pretty face, a tall figure, and, not to mention, those eye-catching long legs.

A total 100% beauty!

"Next, my granddaughter Lily Baiyin will perform my famous magic trick: the Vanishing Magic Trick!"

Lily, who was waving to the audience, casually lay down in the prop box, and two female assistants covered her with a blue veil.

When the covering was lifted, the silver Lily inside the prop box had vanished.

Frank looked toward the stage exit but couldn't see his granddaughter, which puzzled him.

"I don't know why, but something feels off!"

Philip touched his lips, a look of inquiry in his eyes.

...........

Inside the Yuanzaki mansion, in the dining room, the father and his two daughters had just finished lunch and were enjoying a rare moment of leisurely after-dinner tea.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

"Father!"

After quickly finishing her black tea, Saeko walked briskly away from the old man and Wakana's sight.

"Tsk!"

"Going to Isaka Hospital again? I don't know what's so great about that man!"

Looking at her sister, who was beaming with joy and seemingly blossoming anew, Wakana was puzzled. Then, thinking about what that man had done to her, she unconsciously tightened her grip on the teacup.

"Snapped!"

The teacup was crushed to pieces in Wakana's hands, which caught the old man's attention.

"Oh dear, I was so careless!"

Upon seeing this, the maid quickly handed over a towel to wipe her hands and gathered up the broken teacup pieces.

"Wakana, are you alright?!"

The old man still cared about Wakana. Wakana looked at her hands and said, "I don't know why, but lately I just can't control my strength!"

"This sounds like a symptom of memory loss!"

The old man looked at Wakana thoughtfully, "But if there's a driver, this problem shouldn't occur!"

"Speaking of which, Dr. Isaka kept the drive for me before!"

"We can't let this go unchecked!"

Upon hearing Wakana's account, a hint of coldness flashed in the old man's eyes.

"I'll have Mi handle this matter..."

The old man stopped speaking as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really hard to get used to Miku not being here!"

"Yes!"

Wakana, with her arms clasped together, lowered her head, her long hair falling down so her expression was obscured.

.......

"They're still not back? I'm starving!"

Miku lay listlessly on the sofa, half of his body dangling off the sofa, looking every bit like a lazy bum.

After reaching an agreement with Shotaro for external assistance, Miku agreed with him that he would come to the agency on odd-numbered days of the week, and do his own thing on even-numbered days.

This puzzled Shotaro, who wanted to keep Miku around. Miku explained that he had his own things to do and couldn't leave.

This is just something he does every day—spying on Isaka and getting some exercise. As a cat, he was practically spoiled while living at Madoka's house, which has resulted in his physical condition being far below standard.

Miku has been working hard on this.

"Miku, we're back!"

Akiko excitedly opened the door, carrying a bag of cat food, and proudly showed it to Miku like a treasure.

At first, Akiko thought Miku was a monster, but after spending time with him, she found that apart from being able to talk, there was nothing to be afraid of about this cat!

When Miku came over, he kept pestering him with questions.

"I'm starving...starving...starving to death!"

Miku sighed and looked at the cat food expectantly. Akiko comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll go prepare it for you."

"It's done!"

Philip's startled remark drew a glance from Miku.

In his hand was a strange prop resembling a snail. Philip, having retrieved the mimicry memory device, pressed it down under the gazes of the others.

"DENDEN (snail)!"

After the mimicry memory sang stiffly, Philip then inserted it into the mechanical snail.

The snail slowly wriggling on the table prompted several people to ask what its purpose was.

"The snail sensor is used to detect and track enemies. When there are enemies nearby, it will react like this!"

The snail's sensor, which emits several infrared rays from its head, began to frequently sound alarms.

"How is this going?"

Akiko let out a gasp, while Miku lifted her head from her cat bowl, her nose twitching.

"There are...there are...there are enemies!"

Miku warily stared at the empty air, his nose twitching. He could smell the dopant, but it was strange; unlike ordinary dopant, it had a strange, rotten wood smell.

"Is there someone there?"

Shotaro got up and was about to close the door when he unexpectedly bumped into something soft. This elicited a soft cry.

"Oh!"
