The Strange Cat from Fuuto

In his perception, it was as if a blood-red beast was crouching behind him, staring intently at him while simultaneously opening its gaping maw and silently grinning.

Miku leaned close to the little guy's back, holding two knives, one long and one short, with the blades parallel to each other, one above the other.

What should we do about this?

The little guy, whose mind raced like lightning, had all his muscles straining, while Miku's muscles twitched in sync with Miku's. Both could feel the rhythm of each other's muscles and the frequency of their heartbeats.

"Ready, little one?"

Miku spoke in a low voice, leaning slightly forward, and the distance between the two swords began to slowly close.

This is a sign that he's about to make a move!

"hiss...."

With a low growl, the little guy stomped the ground and darted forward. In the instant he took off, Miku twisted his waist like a spinning top and slashed out with the speed of lightning.

"Double Slash - Chonglou!"

"bass!"

With a simultaneous humming sound from both blades, a burst of light suddenly erupted, tearing through space.

"laugh!"

With a sound like tearing cloth, Miku's twin swords slashed straight at the little guy who had his back to him, but unexpectedly, one earthen wall after another suddenly rose up from the ground.

Miku repeatedly slashed through the earthen walls, but these walls also depleted the energy contained in Miku's strikes.

Once it reached the little guy, it became nothing more than an ordinary slash. The little guy casually raised his arm and used the arm guard to block the slash.

The price was a small knife mark on the arm armor.

"That was really dangerous!"

The little guy, patting his chest and letting out a long breath, looked at the earthen wall that Miku had repeatedly chopped down, his heart filled with lingering fear.

If he hadn't activated the power of the golden arrow at the critical moment, he probably would have been cut into three pieces by Miku. The earthen walls that Miku cut through were the best example of this.

That single blade of light was actually two overlapping blades of light; if you were struck by it, it would be equivalent to being struck by two blades simultaneously.

"That's really impressive! You actually managed to do this. You didn't have this ability before!"

Seeing the earthen wall in front of him, Miku nodded slightly, his heart filled with admiration.

You must understand that there is great terror between life and death. By using life-threatening dangers as a form of training, the little guy's strength will improve rapidly.

This is also Miku's plan.

A ripening-enhancing plan!

In short, the essence of this plan is just one thing: beat them up, beat them up, and beat them up again!

The more you get beaten up, the faster your strength will skyrocket, like a rocket.

Alright, round two!

Miku shook the scabbard and then joined the scabbard opening to the hilt of the long sword, turning it into a double-edged naginata.

Miku, carrying a naginata, strolled toward the little guy. The little guy half-squatted down and kept pounding the ground with both hands. It seemed like a futile effort, but in reality, he was adding the power of the golden arrow to the ground.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

With a series of muffled thuds, one earthen wall after another rose from the ground, blocking Miku's path. Miku simply flicked his hand, severing the earthen wall in front of him; a strange liquid, like blood, dripped from the smooth cut.

"So strong!"

As the little guy muttered to himself, he suddenly turned and walked away, his hands beginning to lash at the objects around him. The trash cans on the roadside, the streetlights on the curb, the big trees along the road, and the paved tiles all became his helpers.

Miku was attacked in a short period of time.

Various objects, seemingly possessed by life, flew rapidly toward Miku, obscuring his vision. Faced with these miscellaneous objects, Miku had only one reaction.

Raise your sword and strike!

The items that had been activated by the little guy's life force were all smashed to pieces, but as everything turned to dust and fell from the sky, the little guy appeared in front of Miku.

A rapidly enlarging fist appeared in Miku's line of sight.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, Miku took a step back.

The little guy raised his tail to the sky, and with a sharp hiss, he swung his left fist again.

"Meow!!!"

With a crisp roar, the little guy's fists left afterimages in the air as they rained down on Miku's chest.

"That's really fierce!"

Miku, having regained his footing, found himself unable to control his body, and even his spirit began to float upwards.

"Was life force infused into the attack, injected into my body in the form of a fist?"

Miku's spiritual form, which was floating upwards, smiled slightly and then returned to its body. With its left hand, it caught the little guy's right fist, while its right hand held the naginata directly against the little guy's chin.

"This feels so good, but the massage pressure was a bit too strong!"

Miku, twirling the blade, deflected the little guy's right fist. With the knife at his neck, the little guy slowly retreated as Miku advanced.

"You've resolved things on your end too!"

Using her scepter to lure the half-dead old driver, Serena looked at Miku and nodded slightly when she saw that the little guy wasn't seriously injured.

Experienced driver: So, when your whole family gets into a fight, I'm the only one who gets hurt?!

凸（艹皿艹）！

Chapter 54: Gang and Che Sha Suffer a Setback!

"That's settled, now it's just a matter of what the little guy chooses!"

Miku chuckled softly, the blade moving slightly closer to the little guy's neck.

Feeling the cold touch of the blade, goosebumps immediately rose on the little creature's neck beneath its biological skin.

Even so, he still stared defiantly at Miku, baring his teeth and growling in his throat.

"Little guy, you seem pretty defiant, huh?"

"If you've got the guts, let me go, and we'll fight again!"

The defiant little guy's tail bristled, and the emotion in his eyes quickly faded. Even the ten fingers on his hands sprouted sharp nails. Miku, noticing the change in the little guy's emotions, felt a flicker of worry in his eyes.

The little guy's emotions started to flare up again. The humiliation of defeat, coupled with the old driver's injuries, directly triggered the most primal nerve in the little guy.

This led to his emotions gradually spiraling out of control, and his rational mind began to be dominated by his instinctive ferocity.

At the same time, in the underground space of the Sonozaki family's house, the Earth Well, which had been suppressed by the Starlight Lion, roared and howled once again.

Sensing the little guy's emotions, this memory became restless again, yearning to merge with the little guy.

"Ugh, what a hassle!"

Miku clicked his tongue and quickly pulled his arm back, then swung the knife down towards the little guy's neck with both arms.

The moment the long sword left the little guy's neck, the little guy roared and charged at Miku. The sharp edges of his ten fingers disrupted the airflow, and if Miku were caught, it would be painful.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The continuous flashes of cold light formed a surging wave in Miku's eyes. In just an instant, the little guy's claws swung out countless times, forming this wave of dense claw marks.

"My son's talent is truly terrifying!"

The cat, its body swaying left and right, flashed back and forth in the waves of claws, quickly approaching the little guy, and the little guy did the same.

Following the wave, he reached out with both hands toward Miku's heart, seemingly intending to rip his father's heart out in one blow.

Miku, not giving the little guy his wish, struck first, drawing his long sword.

The long blade, slashing horizontally, struck the little guy directly on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

"call...."

Miku let out a soft breath and caught the little one's limp body. Seeing this, Serena quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, he just passed out!" Miku glanced at the experienced driver.

Yes, he's passed out, no need to erase his memory. As for the belt, Zankrim, Miku selectively ignored it.

A crack appeared on the Drive driver, which served as the vessel for his consciousness, and the display screen went black. It was likely that Serena had inadvertently damaged the Drive driver during her battle with the veteran driver.

What's the next step?

Serena asked a question, and Miku looked around at the deserted streets. "Let's leave them here for now. Heart and the others will be here soon. As for the rest of the mess, we'll leave that to him!"

Looking around at the Roidmude who had stopped moving, their cavalry drives were still running.

"he?"

Yes, him!

After giving a meaningful smile, Miku opened a spatial rift, from which a young man in a white shirt emerged. The young man glanced at the old driver and the little guy lying to the side.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'll leave this place to you!" Miku patted Gang on the shoulder, who had just given up, and left with Serena.

After the two left, the cat and the person lying unconscious on the ground showed no emotion. Since they had survived, it meant that Saber hadn't wanted them dead.

Then I had no reason to take any further action.

"Next, it's time to deal with you!"

Turning his head to look at the approaching figures, he had just pulled out the driver that Miku had given him, feeling humiliated.

The driver, named Battle Driver by Miku, requires the use of a Crime Bottle.

"who are you?"

Che Sha arrived at the scene first, and upon seeing the seriously injured driver and the unconscious little guy, his eyes widened: "Did you do this?"

"you guess!"
