The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang in the guard room on the side of the main house. The head maid under the blouse adjusted her glasses: "Lord Iggy is awake. Which two are on duty today?"

"The head maid is Inoue and Haruno."

"Those two newcomers?"

"Ok!"

"Let them go, and remember to tell them to keep Lord Iggy's child warm when bathing him!"

"Yes!"

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

One after another, the doorbell rang, and the head maid under the dress methodically arranged for servants to attend to her.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang again, and the mountain heroine, the head servant, changed her expression upon seeing it: "Young Master is awake!"

The head maid, who had personally gone to the little guy's room, met the little guy's slightly confused eyes as soon as she opened the door.

"Ha~~" The little guy yawned and sat down on his bed, wobbling as he said, "Good morning, Auntie Sugishita!"

"Young Master, it's time to wash up!"

"Okay!" The little guy nodded and let the head maid lead him to the bathroom. After washing up, the little guy followed the head maid to the dining room.

"Good morning, Daddy, Mommy, Uncle, Auntie Saeko, Big Dog, Little Dog!"

After greeting everyone, the little guy slapped away the little husky that was trying to get close to him, and then calmly jumped onto the chair.

"Any plans for today?" Miku ate his breakfast slowly, the little guy with a bit of sauce on his mouth tilting his head: "I want to go out for a walk!"

"When you go out, be careful and don't talk to strangers. If a stranger approaches you, you know what to do!"

"Uh-huh!"

The little guy nodded vigorously and did his best to finish the breakfast on his plate, while Iggy and his cubs had already piled plates all around them.

"Foodie!"

Seeing this, Miku shook his head helplessly, while Ichi glanced at Miku and muttered something under his breath.

Meanwhile, outside the Sonozaki mansion.

"Wow, Miku is really amazing! He's actually rebuilt his house!" The well-dressed old man touched the house number, his expression full of emotion. Behind him stood a beautiful woman.

"Dad, are you really not going to see him?"

"It's not the right time yet!" The old man shook his head, squatted down, and reached out to stroke the little cutie in front of him. "It's not the right time for me, but what about you? Do you want to see him?"

“…”

The little cutie being stroked by the old man tilted its head to the side, its cold eyes devoid of any emotion.

"That's it!"

After understanding the little cutie's eyes, the old man stood up: "If you don't want to see Miku, you should at least see that child!"

"..!..!.."

The little cutie's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the scenery inside the gate. She nuzzled against the old man and received his gift amidst his laughter.

"Then go and have some fun with him, after all, you two are..." The old man left the little cutie behind and took the woman away from the door of the Sonozaki family's house.

"You did a really good job! You did not disgrace the Sonozaki family's name!"

The old man, muttering to himself, took a step forward with the woman and disappeared.

The little cutie who remained stared at Sonozaki's front door for a moment, then slightly grinned:

"Ah!"

...........

Weiguang Avenue.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning.

Pedestrians walked in groups, their expressions serene and tranquil, strolling along the tree-lined path as if wandering on the road to love.

As the most famous lovers' avenue in Fengdu, countless couples have walked along Weiguang Avenue.

A kitten with its long tail held high moved freely among the couples, its golden eyes filled with curiosity about the passing couples through its silver pupils.

The little guy, whose tail unconsciously curved into a question mark, walked briskly forward, but stopped abruptly before he even left the shimmering path.

"Ok?"

The little guy turned around quickly, staring wide-eyed as he looked around, but apart from the couples, there was nothing suspicious.

"That's strange, I feel like someone is watching me!"

The little guy, who was feeling uneasy, could feel a gaze that seemed to be watching him from afar, especially now, when the feeling of being spied on was very strong!

"Who exactly is it?"

A hint of doubt flickered in the little guy's eyes as he shook his head. "People Dad sent to protect me?"

The little guy, who was squatting on the ground, scratched his ear, and just then, the gaze that had been clinging to him disappeared.

"strangeness!"

The kitten blinked and turned to continue its walk, weaving between couples before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Ah!"

A disdainful chuckle emanated from the air, and a shadow flashed past in the swaying tree shadows.

The little guy walked through the crowds to a park, turned the corner of the flower bed, and then paused, looking surprised.

There was no one there!

At this time of day, it should be the time when mothers near the park bring their children out to enjoy the sun and play, but the little guy didn't see anyone.

In the sandpit not far away, there was a small red plastic shovel stuck in the sand, and a small child's shoe lying next to it.

Something's not right!

As the fur on its tail began to swell, a sudden alarm bell rang in the little guy's mind. With a powerful push off the ground with its hind legs, leaving two dents, the little guy leaped forward quickly.

"Fuck!"

A bright white light, crackling with electric sparks, shone on the spot where the little guy had just stood, and the green grass covered with it was instantly frozen into glass by the high temperature of the light.

Wisps of white smoke rose from the glass crater, which was about the size of a washbasin. As the smoke rose, the little guy landed.

"Who is it?!"

The little creature crouched down, its paws peeking out, and its lips curled up to reveal its sharp teeth.

"Ah!"

Amidst a disdainful, contemptuous chuckle, the little guy's limbs suddenly sank, and the shadow beneath him transformed into ropes that bound his limbs and pulled him downwards.

"Meow!!!"

Amidst the angry howls, a burst of fire exploded.

Enveloped in flames, the little fellow, resembling a king of fire, shattered the shadowy ropes binding his limbs.

"Who goes there!"

With a sharp shout, the little guy started running, dashing forward as fast as an arrow skimming the ground.

"Roar!"

The little creature roared, its mouth open, and flames flickered in its throat.

"call..."

A cluster of high-temperature flames shot out from his mouth, swaying from side to side as his head moved, transforming the little guy into a cat-shaped self-propelled flamethrower as he rapidly approached the location from which the attack was launched.

"Shh!"

In the shadows of the bushes, a slender figure, half black and half white, with a blood-red rose blooming on her chest, deftly dodged the approaching flames, her right hand forming a claw as she tore at the little guy from afar.

Five beams of light coalesced into claw-like rays that flew through the air toward the little guy. The little guy leaped and narrowly escaped the five claw-like rays. As the claw-like rays severed the fur on his body, the other party's high heels slammed into the ground and charged toward the little guy.

"knight?!"

The little guy was startled when he saw the other person's appearance, and at that moment the person had already rushed up to the little guy.

"call out!"

With a sharp cry, the opponent's claws tore through the air, aiming for the little creature's chest. The little creature swerved mid-air, curling up to evade the attack.

The little guy, which had just brushed past the other like a fluffy ball, suddenly stretched out its body and sprang out like a spring that had been charged up.

The little guy, launched into the air, tapped his pendant with his claws. The pendant's surface flashed, and the driver flew out, precisely fastening to the little guy's waist.

"Transform!"

The little guy, who had transformed quickly, was enveloped in golden light before he even landed. After landing, he rolled over and quickly got up, glaring angrily at the half-black, half-white female rider.

The shadow beneath the feet of the female rider, who tilted her head to the side, rippled violently like boiling water, and a huge blood-red scythe emerged from the shadow.

"Snap!" The knight who grabbed the scythe leaned forward, the scythe dragging behind him, the blade facing upward.

"boom!"

The knight vanished the moment the green grass beneath his feet was trampled and the dirt flew up, leaving only a series of slash marks suddenly appearing in front of the little guy.

"Boom!"

The little guy's fists collided, sparks flying between them. As the sparks flew, any plants that came into contact with them mutated and twisted into monsters crawling out of the abyss.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The dazzling light, like petals fluttering in the air, instantly annihilated the demons spawned by the little guy.

"What a troublesome fellow, meow!"

Faced with the slashing light that bloomed before his eyes, the little guy jumped back repeatedly, and at the same time, he took out a special arrow from his left waist.

"Metal!"
