The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Father!"

Saeko seemed quite flustered upon seeing the old man, like a child caught doing something wrong. While A-kun, facing the extreme fear emanating from the old man, could still lift his head, Shotaro, on the other hand, was struggling to cope. Shaking like a leaf, Shotaro couldn't even lift his head.

His heart was almost buried by endless fear.

"That feeling!" Philip exclaimed, "It's that enemy from before!"

"What business do you have with me, you fearful emperor?!"

Isaka calmly looked up at the old man who had his arms crossed, but the old man ignored him and instead turned his gaze to Miku.

"Miku, I didn't expect to see you here!"

"That's right, that good-for-nothing Otate can't do anything to you!"

"So, do you want to come back? I can forgive and forget everything you did in the past!"

Miku glared at Isaka when the old man questioned him. If this guy hadn't messed around with Wakana's driver earlier, how would he have gotten the old man's attention?

"Grandpa, thank you... thank you for taking care of me and for indulging me so much!"

"But...I...I can't go back!"

"I'm so...so...sorry!"

"Really? It seems you've grown quite a bit too!"

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. But you must remember that you will always be a member of our family."

Ignoring Miku's grandfather, he looked at Isaka. This undoubtedly relieved Miku. "So close!"

"What brings you here?"

"Is there even a question? Of course, I'm inviting you for tea!"

The old man loosened his arms, and if Isaka showed the slightest resistance, he would kill him on the spot and take the cat next to him back with him. The museum would never be short of memory erasers!

As for what was said before?

Those are just polite words!

If you take these polite words seriously, then you've underestimated this emperor who has ruled the underworld of Junlin Fengdu for many years!

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

Isaka behaved very obediently, which made the old man nod in satisfaction.

"Miku, come home and visit sometime!"

Considering that Wakana might rebel against him, and also because of Philip's own youngest son whom he hadn't seen in a long time, he decided to let Miku off the hook!

"Things are going to get really interesting from here on out!"

After taking a deep look at the old man Miku and disappearing from everyone's sight with Isaka, Saeko returned to the Madoka family without hesitation.

"It's finally over!"

Miku let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground after de-transforming. The drone obediently flew over to help him store the driver and memory.

"But the old man is really ruthless. His last words before he left were meant to sow discord between me and W!"

"As expected of a cunning and shrewd old fox!"

"Isaka Mikuruo!"

After reverting to his original form, Brother A slammed his fist into the ground, large tears streaming down his face.

This made Shotaro, who was standing next to him, feel very uncomfortable.

............

The banquet hall at the Madoka residence.

This place was originally intended for entertaining guests, but today's guest was different. As a prisoner, he paid no heed to Ruocai's piercing gaze.

On the contrary, after drinking tea, they ate and drank to their hearts' content, piling the plates up like a small mountain.

"How rude of me!"

After finishing the last serving, Isaka apologized and slowly wiped his mouth. This gesture made Saeko's heart flutter.

"What an astonishing amount of energy consumed!"

The old man saw right through Isaka's secret: "The ability to absorb multiple memories only manifests in your eating ability. It's astonishing that you're still alive!"

"A terrifying man!"

Wakana made a joke, but Saeko warned her with a fierce look in her eyes, "Wakana, don't be rude!"

Rising from her seat, Wakana went to the old man's side and let him take her hand, giving Saeko a provocative smile.

"You've got guts! You can still eat at a time like this!"

"What are you plotting with Saeko, Isaka?!"

"Wakana is also very afraid of your unauthorized actions. People who disrupt the harmony of our family cannot be forgiven!"

Sensing the murderous intent in the old man's words, Saeko took out her memory from under the table.

At this critical moment, Isaka remained remarkably calm, slowly and methodically loosening his tie and unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time.

He pulled open his shirt, revealing a dense network of bio-links on his chest, and faced the old man directly, saying, "There is no one in this world more fervent in their support of museums than I am!"

"Mr. Ensaki, this desire to explore the mysteries of the Gaia Memory is the same for you, me, and even Ms. Saeko!"

"Everything I've done is for your museum. If possible, I'd be willing to become your experimental subject!"

"Haha, what a courageous man!"

The old man released Wakana's hand, stood up from his seat, and said, "You can't go back to the hospital, right? Then you can stay at my Madoka family's house for the time being!"

The old man gestured for Wakana to leave, leaving only Saeko and Isaka in the banquet hall.

"I never expected that Dr. Isaka would actually pass my father's test!"

Saeko, clutching the memory device tightly in her hand, looked utterly shocked.

After leading Wakana to a terrace, the old man rested his hands on the marble countertop. "I saw Miku!"

"Really? Father!"

"Ok!"

"What did he say?"

"Miku won't be coming back for now, but who knows what the future holds!"

A meaningful smile appeared on the old man's face.

Chapter 61: The Monster in My Dream? Miku: It's over there, let me smell it!

Shivering in the cold wind, Miku ran towards the office.

"I shouldn't have come out at this time!"

Miku quickened his pace, secretly grumbling to himself. Along the way, a girl in a puffy skirt, who looked like she stepped out of an anime, hurried past carrying a blue alarm clock.

Wow, what a nice girl!

"It's a pity I'm a cat now!"

Miku, self-deprecatingly commenting, quickened his pace and soon arrived at the entrance of the agency.

"Boom boom boom!"

Sometimes banging your head against a door can really make a cat dizzy. It wasn't Akiko who opened the door, but Philip instead, which gave Miku a small shock. "Why...wh...why did you open the door? Where's Akiko?"

"Aki-chan stayed up all night watching dramas last night, so you know what I mean!"

"No, I don't understand!"

With a gurgling sound in its throat, Miku couldn't wait to run into the cat bed it had set up for itself in the office. After patting the cushion in the cat bed until it was soft, it nestled contentedly on it.

At the coffee table, Akiko kept yawning, Shotaro kept grimacing at her, while Philip, as always, kept reading the wordless book.

"That's right!"

"Philip, have you checked my... my... drone?"

Miku suddenly remembered that he had handed the drone over to Philip for inspection earlier and spoke silently.

"Snapped!"

Philip closed the book and walked to the door of the inner room. "It's all checked, there's no problem!"

At that moment, a clear bell rang out inside the room.

"A guest has arrived?"

Philip glanced apologetically at Miku and turned to open the door. "Please help me!" A girl in a tutu, holding a blue alarm clock, rushed in as soon as the door opened.

"what!"

The girl suddenly burst in, and Philip almost fell over before he could catch his breath. He staggered back two steps before managing to regain his balance.

"Please help me!"

The girl clutched the blue alarm clock tightly, speaking with an anxious expression.

The girl, whose clothes and appearance already had an anime vibe, spoke in a sweet, coquettish tone that was simply irresistible.

Listening to the girl's weak voice, Miku stared at the foam socks on her legs for a long time.

"Is it too late for me to want to be a decent human being?"

Upon seeing the beautiful woman, Shotaro's lecherous nature could no longer be concealed. Clearing his throat, he approached the girl and softly said, "Miss, please don't rush. Tell us slowly, and we will definitely help you solve any difficulties you may have!"

"Ring ring..."

The blue alarm clock in the girl's hand suddenly started jumping, startling Shotaro. "What are you doing?!"

"To keep me from falling asleep, I set the alarm to ring every thirty minutes!"

"I want to sleep, please help me!"
