The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Someone, you must leave that man, or something terrible will happen!"

After seeing the look in Philip's eyes, Sherrard, who had been trying to persuade Philip, knew that his son would not easily change his mind!

Fearing the opposite effect if she continued to try to persuade him, Sherrard sighed inwardly and chose to leave the XTREME memory.

"No matter what you say, I still choose Shotaro!"

"Because that guy and I are...partners!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Promise!

"Squeak!"

In the still of the night, the sound of the door hinges turning was so jarring.

"That bastard Isaka, I won't let him get away with this!"

"Even if it costs me my life!"

"I want him dead too!"

Miku, walking silently and quickly along the corner of the wall, had his ears twitching, alert to any movement in the main house!

"It'll be ready soon!"

Just around the corner is Isaka's room. If I can sneak in, then it's not impossible!

"What do you want to do, Miku?"

A leisurely voice rang out, and Miku, his fur standing on end, shrank back and jumped into the shadow of a flowerpot in the corridor.

"Wakana!?"

Miku glanced at the screen and saw it was Wakana, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing...what are you doing?"

"If...vegetables!"

Miku, wagging his tail, asked casually, while Wakana, wearing a nightgown and with her hair down, scooped up Miku and quickly walked towards her room.

Wakana gently closed the door, placed Miku on her large bed, and then sat down beside her.

"What were you planning to do, running up to that man's door so late at night?"

"No...no...I didn't do anything!"

Miku looked around with a somewhat wandering gaze, while his tail swayed more vigorously behind him.

"You're lying!" Wakana suddenly brought her face close to Miku's and said, word by word, "Ever since a long time ago, whenever you lie, your tail wags really fast!"

"Holy crap, do I have this habit?!"

His little habit, which he hadn't even noticed, was suddenly exposed by Wakana, leaving him somewhat flustered and at a loss.

Finally, he sighed, lowered his head, and said, "Iggy is dead!"

"I took care of it myself!"

"Really!"

Wakana is well aware of the relationship between Miku and Iggy. Although it has only been a few months, Miku's attitude towards Iggy reveals a lot!

You must be in a lot of pain inside!

Wakana pulled Miku into her arms and gently comforted her, "I'm still here!"

"Miku!"

"I'm still here, I'm still here with you!"

Miku felt a little annoyed as he smelled the faint, virginal fragrance emanating from Wakana.

"But I...I...cannot forgive Isaka!"

"He hurt Iggy...and he hurt you too!"

"I must kill...kill...kill that man!"

"I...I...I absolutely must kill him!"

Miku roared through gritted teeth, and the hatred in his heart startled Wakana. What had he gone through to harbor such hatred?

"Miku, will you promise me?"

Wakana, who was looking at Miku, said, "Don't do anything foolish!"

"That man is terrifying!"

"I dared to use myself as a test subject, and I was able to gain my father's approval!"

"He's someone you can't match right now!"

Wakana's earnest advice only made Miku more irritable. "This won't work...this won't work...this won't work either, I...I...what else can I do?"

"As long as he lives...lives...lives, I will never have peace of mind!"

"Miku, why have you become like this?" Wakana looked at Miku with pity and said, "You weren't like this before!"

"Everyone will become... become... grow up like Wakana, whether it's you or me!"

Unable to exact revenge, Miku let out a low moan. His emerald eyes, filled with frustration, revealed not only hatred, but also helplessness, pain, struggle, and inner turmoil...

The old man personally promised to protect Izaka, so no one can touch him!

Miku, who had just returned, was warned by the old man. Not only did he lose his driver, but his memory was also confiscated!

Now, he can only outmaneuver mice; no one can do anything to him!

"Oh no, what should I... what should I do!"

Miku screamed in agony, a slender hand brushing against his back. Looking up, he saw Wakana's resolute gaze: "I will avenge you!"

"I will become stronger!"

"So, let's make a promise!"

"Miku!"

Wakana stretched out her hand and looked at Miku with anticipation. The determination on her pretty face made the cat's heart ache.

"You're right, everyone grows up!"

"My dad always says I have a childish temper, but I need to make some changes!"

"It's not just for you, it's for me too!"

Miku, who hesitated before placing the cat's paw on Wakana's hand, was suddenly filled with a warm feeling!

Apart from Wakana, no one in the entire Yuusaki family truly cared about him.

I will protect you!

"Forever!"

Feeling the warmth of Wakana's palm, Miku secretly made a vow in his heart.

"Even if it costs me my life, I don't want to lose anyone else!"

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

"How are you feeling, Shotaro?"

Wrapped up like a dumpling, Shotaro could only move his eyes; he couldn't move any part of his body. Faced with Philip's concern, he could only futilely move his eyes.

"No no no!"

Akiko's eyes darted around, and she kept making whimpering sounds.

"Akiko, don't worry, Terui's personal care is something not everyone can enjoy!"

Philip, jokingly ignoring Akiko's excitement, remarked that the two of them surprisingly resembled a married couple and would likely end up together!

"Ugh, ugh, ugh...wooo, wooo!"

Unable to speak, Shotaro made a series of incomprehensible sounds through his gauze-wrapped mouth.

Even the clever Philip didn't understand Shotaro's meaning at all. He just lowered his head and thought for a moment before attaching the W Driver to Shotaro's waist.

"Now we can communicate easily!"

Philip casually pointed to the drive at his waist, but the words of Sherrard's warning echoed in his mind.

"You can't stay with Shotaro anymore. That man will bring you disaster sooner or later!"

"What's wrong, partner? You've suddenly become so blank!"

Shotaro's weak voice echoed in Philip's mind, and Philip shook his head, no longer thinking about Sherrard.

"It's nothing, I just can't figure it out!"

Why was our firm suddenly attacked?

"I can answer that!"

After adjusting Akiko's hospital bed, Brother A continued the conversation, "Fukushima Gen didn't know how he obtained the memory and escaped from prison before you were attacked!"

"Now that I think about it, it was probably Isaka's doing!"

"Only he could sneak into the evidence room and release Fukushima Gen without alerting anyone!"

"So, how did Isaka know about Fukushima Gen?"

Philip, touching his lips, lowered his head, utterly perplexed.

"And they even kidnapped Miku!"

What was his motive?

"Nobody can explain this. According to the on-site investigation, Miku and Isaka engaged in an extremely fierce battle. Your office was mostly destroyed and is still under construction and repair."

"Perhaps Isaka was the one who initially set his sights on Miku!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Philip stood up and said eloquently, "Given Miku's special nature, coupled with Isaka's obsession with memories, it's not surprising that he would do something like this!"
