The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Sonozaki Mansion.

"Awoo~~"

The little guy, yawning with his mouth wide open, lay on the big cub's body, still sleepy in his eyes, his fluffy little face full of confusion, his big eyes half-open.

The older dog, on the other hand, looked radiant. It's the age when it's growing, and huskies are known for their boundless energy. Coupled with plenty of food every day, it's growing exceptionally fast.

This keeps the eldest son full of energy every day.

When the older child carried the younger one to the restaurant, everyone else had already arrived.

Miku sat crouched at the head of the table, its tail wrapped around its body, its eyes slightly open, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Miko, everyone's been waiting for you, stop being lazy!" Serena tapped the table in annoyance as she watched the maid take the little one off the big baby and put her on a chair.

The little guy has been quite lazy lately, spending all his time eating and sleeping, and about thirteen or fourteen hours a day sleeping in bed.

"But Meow is too sleepy!"

The little guy rubbed his eyes and his body was still shaking. Miku glanced at him and said, "Alright, stop nagging him. He's at the age where he's growing, so let him sleep as much as he wants."

"Fine, you spoil him the most."

Serena pouted and patted the little guy's head. The little guy's size was no match for Miku and Mik. In front of his father and uncle, he had always been a little kitten.

After breakfast, the little guy was carried away by Serena. Quanshui followed behind Serena with his hands behind his back, while Dazai followed closely behind Serena, or rather, behind the little guy. Ever since he escaped with the little guy that time, he had become extremely attached to him. Whenever the little guy went out or did anything else, he would sit on Dazai's back.

Just like his father and Miku.

After finishing breakfast, Iggy's little girl disappeared somewhere.

Miku, Mik, and Ichi went into the smoking room.

Miku skillfully picked up the catnip cigar, a flame flickering from his tail, and lit the cigar in a flash.

Miku smacked his lips and exhaled a puff of blue smoke, while Mick and Iggy beside him were also constantly puffing out clouds of smoke.

It's rather ridiculous that Iggy, a mere husky, spends all his time smoking cigarettes with Miku.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

There was a knock on the door of the smoking room. Miku, who had rolled up his cigar with his tail, asked, "What is it?"

"Never's people have arrived, saying they want to see you!"

"I understand. Tell them to wait for me in the reception room!"

"Yes!"

The maid who came to report turned and left, while Miku tapped the table repeatedly, pondering why Never had come looking for him.

After thinking it over and over but still unable to come up with a solution, Miku simply stopped thinking about it and decided to go see them to see what the actual situation was.

Miku, having obtained the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit, is now omniscient and omnipotent, but this is based on his subjective will; nothing can be hidden from him if he wants to know something.

But that state was too mentally taxing, and even he couldn't bear it.

Can a person who can see the essence of all things every day and has a built-in interpreter and analyzer withstand such mental strain?

At first, Miku could see through the essence of everything at a glance, complete with explanations. This meant that everything he saw had its own subtitles. After a while, unable to tolerate this any longer, Miku simply turned this ability on and off at will.

Under normal circumstances, he won't turn it on voluntarily; every time he does, his head will buzz for a long time.

“I’m going to see what Never and his guys are up to. You guys stay here.”

"Alright, big brother!"

Mick readily agreed, and Iggy responded with a howl.

Miku had just left the smoking room and hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard sounds of fighting coming from inside. It was clear that two guys were arguing again.

"They just can't seem to have a moment's peace!"

The cat, shaking its head, went straight to the reception room, where everyone in Never had a gloomy expression, their eyes filled with deep dissatisfaction and anger.

E-ge sat on the sofa, toying with his dagger in his hand.

"You should be guarding the mission location right now, what are you doing here?" Miku preemptively jumped onto the sofa and sat opposite E-ge. Before E-ge could speak, Izumi Kyosui behind him angrily said, "Guarding?"

"You clearly sent us to our deaths! You kept that hellhole a secret from us and made us stay there with those monsters for over a week!"

"But you're perfectly fine right now!"

Miku said in a very calm tone: "Besides, you guys also got paid, receiving huge sums of money every day, but you just chatted and played cards, and I didn't say anything."

"You're spying on us?"

Yuhara Rai, with his fiery temper, immediately erupted, while Domoto Gozo also swung his steel rod, glaring menacingly at Miku.

"Alright, stop!"

E raised his arm, silencing the restless Never and his companions. He slammed his dagger into the coffee table in front of him, instantly creating a dense network of cracks on the glass surface.

"We can forgo that money, since we haven't done anything these past few days, but you need to settle this score with us!"

"Settle accounts?" Miku scoffed. "Settle what accounts?"

“You Nevers are already dead and resurrected corpses, not on the Mirror Monster’s menu. It’s best to assign you to guard that place. Besides, you haven’t suffered any real loss.”

"If I give you money so you can sit on bombs by the fire all day, would you be happy?"

Quan Jingshui frowned and retorted without any politeness.

“Since you’re all dead anyway, sending you there is making the best use of you!” Miku said with a chilling look in his eyes. E-ge shook his head: “No, we are people, not props!”

"But in my eyes you are just props. After all, the Never Project was originally intended to use you as weapons."

"So, they can't reach an agreement?"

"That's right!"

"Under your robe, see the guest out!"

Miku was about to shoo E-ge and the others away without any politeness, but then he came down to E-ge and the others and gestured for them to leave.

“I also really want to take the money and leave, but unfortunately…” Brother E pulled out a dagger from the coffee table: “I am the team leader, and I am responsible for my teammates. This time you have to give us an explanation!”

"I told you, you should leave!"

Miku spoke coldly, his patience slowly fading.

E-Brother simply took out his Lost Driver and fastened it to his waist, while the others also unleashed their hostility towards Miku.

"Are you really not planning to leave?" Miku asked again, and E took out his memory and shook his head firmly and slowly.

"That's a real shame!" The cat, its patience completely gone, turned icy cold. "You really don't know what's good for you, you're just asking for trouble!"

"You died once before, and now I'm going to kill you a second time!"

Chapter 85: In his eyes, there was a reflection of...

"You died once before, and now I'm going to kill you a second time!"

Miku, whose right eye flickered with fire, coldly uttered a single sentence. E-Brother looked puzzled, but then fragmented memories began to flash through his mind.

The Wind Tower, with its constantly rotating blades.

A raging wind capable of sweeping across the entire world.

And then there were the warriors who, like gods descended to earth, launched a fierce counterattack amidst the prayers of the crowd.

"What was that just now?"

E-ge, who was covering his head, swayed slightly, and a fine layer of sweat was visibly forming on his forehead.

"Oh, you saw it?" Miku exclaimed softly. He hadn't expected that just one sentence of his would disrupt the flow of information and allow Brother E to see what had happened in the past.

"What exactly is that?"

The Eternal memory chip he was holding emitted a yellow light, calming down E-ge, who was somewhat emotionally unstable.

"Keji, are you alright?"

Izumi Kyōsui asked E-nii with concern, but E-nii waved his hand, looked up at Miku, and asked, "Do you know what that was just now?"

"Of course I know, but you don't need to know, after all, you're about to die, and of course, so are they!"

Miku, looking completely at ease, revealed a slight smile, indicating that victory was assured.

"Hmph!" E-ge snorted angrily and slammed the memory key down: "I'll make you tell me everything you know!"

"Eternal!"

The memory chip beeped, and E-ge swung his arm, inserting it into the Lost Driver at his waist. A bright yellow capital "E" projected into the air, continuously releasing yellow energy ripples. E-ge took a step forward: "HEN SHIN!!"

Broken armor fragments appeared from the air, gathering around E-bro amidst flashes of electricity.

"boom..."

The blue eternal fire suddenly erupted, scraping off a layer of the floorboards.

A black cape draped down E-ge's back, and his body was covered in 26 "Maximum Slots" like an armored jacket. The blue flame patterns on his arms continuously released blue sparks into the air.

A pair of bright yellow goggles lit up, revealing a trident-like headdress that looked incredibly imposing.

"Kamen Rider Eternal, here I come!"

E-Brother, who gave a thumbs-up and slammed it down hard, flicked his cloak and spun the Eternal Blue Dagger in his hand.

"This is interesting!"

Miku calmly looked at E-ge after his transformation, even revealing a slight hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Killing you seems too lenient; I'd rather turn you into my puppet!"

This sentence triggered fragments of memories in E's mind again. With a fierce look in his eyes, E took a step forward, his cloak billowing as he kicked Miku.

"Snapped!"

Its tail lashed out like a long whip, striking E-ge's ankle once and then hitting him in the chest, sending him flying backward.

"It's not good enough!"

Miku grinned, fully expressing his disdain. E-ge kept backing away, his feet scraping the ground, until he finally regained his footing with the help of his companions.
