The Strange Cat from Fuuto

As soon as Suzuna Sawakami turned her head, she saw the old driver who had been split in two by the shoulder. Overwhelmed with grief, she buried her face in Genpachi's shoulder again.

"Hey, section chief, aren't you going to say anything?"

Genpachi patted Sawakami Suzuna, who was burying her head on his shoulder, and then looked at Honganji Jun, who sighed heavily: "What else can we say?"

"Xiao Bo has already tried his best, let him rest now!"

Trembling, Jun Honganji approached the veteran driver, his hands shaking as he tried to reattach the severed half of his body, but to no avail. The veteran driver, his face pale, his body slowly stiffening, even his blood changing color, as his internal organs spilled from his chest.

With his hands stained with the blood of the veteran driver, Jun Honganji finally broke down like a child, crying out, "Why can't I connect it? Why?!"

"I promised your father I would take care of you, that I would be the master of ceremonies at your wedding, and that I would watch you get married and have children, but why did you just leave like this?!"

Jun Honganji, who was now crying uncontrollably with his face in his hands, was no longer the elder who could protect the Special Cases Division, but rather a lonely and helpless child.

"If you leave, your family line will end!"

"Bo!!"

I didn't take good care of you!

As Jun Honganji wailed over the old driver's corpse, his shoulders heaved. Once he started crying, the others couldn't contain their emotions and began to weep as well.

For a time, the atmosphere inside Drive Base was somber, with cries echoing throughout.

After everyone calmed down, Sawakami Suzuna wiped the tears from her face and said haltingly, "Section Chief, what should we do next?"

"We can't just let Shinnosuke lie here like this, can we?!"

"Make sure he has a proper funeral, make sure he has a grand finale!"

"West City!"

"Ok!"

"Send out an obituary, saying that the hero who has been secretly helping the Special Investigations Section has passed away. Have the people below set up the mourning hall for me, and find a mortician to prepare Xiao Bo's body!"

"We can't let him leave in such an ugly way!"

"I'm going right away!" Xicheng Jiu wiped away his tears, put on his glasses, and left the base to prepare to distribute the obituary and then gather people to prepare for the old driver's funeral.

"The rest of you, get ready to send Xiao Bo on his final journey!"

"Ok!"

........

In the Kuru era, at a certain warehouse.

With a blank expression, the defeated man lay among a pile of rotten newspapers, his clothes wrinkled and filthy, even emitting a faint sour smell.

With a war driver strapped to his waist, his eyes were lifeless and empty. A long-haired woman, completely naked, sat beside him, chewing something constantly, with a blood-red, fleshy driver strapped to her waist.

"boom!!!"

The roar of the motorcycle engines echoed like thunder outside the factory, as if they contained immense anger.

The woman instantly stood up, tapped the flesh-and-blood actuator at her waist, and was transformed into an alien in the blink of an eye, her entire body enveloped in flesh and blood.

"squeak!"

The screeching sound of tires filled the air. Chesha casually tossed his helmet aside and got off the vehicle.

"Just!!"

After getting off the vehicle, Chessa let out a complex roar, strapped the Mach Driver to his waist, and gripped his signal motorcycle: "Shinnosuke, he's dead!"

He's gone!

"..." Without any reaction, the defeated Gang remained lying on the ground, staring blankly at the broken ceiling above.

"So...at least I can take you back so you can see him off on his final journey!" Chesha closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then transformed.

Seeing Gang's defeated state, Che Sha, his body radiating purple energy, felt a pang of pain in his heart: "No matter what you've become now, I'm going to bring you back!"

"It's my responsibility as your best friend!"

Having just stood up abruptly, he faced Che Sha and said with a blank expression, "Threat detected. Order elimination!"

"Transform!"

.......

Sonozaki Mansion.

Serena, holding a letter, approached Miku and the siblings, setting it aside and saying, "It's a letter from Kuruma!"

"What?"

"It's Shinnosuke Tomari's obituary!"

Miku paused for a moment, glanced at the white letter, and nodded: "I understand!"

"Ok!"

After Serena left, the little guy looked at the letter curiously and asked, "What's an obituary, Dad?"

"An obituary is a notice of death, an announcement to inform relatives and friends to attend the funeral!" Miku picked up the obituary letter beside him and looked at the somewhat dazed little guy: "Are you going to see him off on his final journey?"

After a moment of silence, the little guy nodded emphatically: "I want to go, Meow wants to see the police officer off on his final journey!"

"Then let's get ready. Let your mom prepare an outfit for you to wear to the funeral. What about you, little girl?"

"I'm not going. I don't know that policeman well, and besides, he's someone my brother knows. Why would I go and join in the fun?"

The little cutie reset the chessboard, her expression somewhat indifferent.

"Alright!" Miku turned to look at his son: "Then you should prepare yourself well and go see Shinnosuke off on his final journey!"

"Yes!"

......

Three days later.

The day the old driver's body was taken away.

Inside the mourning hall, the old driver, dressed in black, lay in the coffin, his face peaceful and serene, showing no trace of regret.

"Shinnosuke!"

Sawakami Suzuna, who was quietly sobbing, placed the Type Tridoron gearshifting vehicle she had just completed into the hands of the veteran driver. Although the Drive was broken, it was still placed on his waist.

Sawakami Suzuna, who was showing signs of emotional breakdown, was led away by Genpachi, who was supporting her shoulders.

After the farewell ceremony, the coffins were closed and the funeral procession began.

In the light drizzle, a coffin-carrying procession moved slowly forward. The smeared faces of Che Sha and Xian Ba ​​led the way, followed by Xi Cheng Jiu and the anthropomorphic little guy.

Honganji Jun led the way, and the coffin slowly moved forward with the four of them, passing through the misty rain, until they arrived at the grave that had been chosen for the old driver.

The grave had been dug in advance. After Jun was placed in the coffin, Honganji Jun filled the first shovelful of soil with tears in his eyes, followed by Genpachi, then Kirisaki, Saijo Kyuu and the little guy.

The boy, with long, pure black hair flowing down his back, had tears in his eyes. This form was created by Miku; he himself couldn't become human, but that didn't mean he wouldn't allow his child to remain so. However, this was only temporary; he would revert to his original form after the funeral.

Shovelful after shovelful of soil fell into the pit, filling and compacting the grave. The tombstone bearing his epitaph was erected. After Sawakami Rinna placed a bouquet of white flowers, everyone stood silently in the misty rain, speechless for a long time.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people were in front of the grave, and everyone except the little guy left.

Ze Shen Rena placed the signal tomahawk in a box, which was then handed to the little guy by Che Sha: "This weapon is yours from now on!"

"But..."

“I know what you mean, but Shinnosuke is gone. This weapon is useless to us now, and no one but you can use it!”

"It's yours now!"

"Hmm!" The little guy silently took the signal tomahawk, carried the box in his hands, and left with Kirisaki's help.

The little one, who had been standing silently in the rain for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Hey, why do you think there is birth, aging, sickness, and death, little sister?"

"Because it's the law of nature, no one can escape it, no one can get away from it, brother!"

The little cutie emerged from the shadows, staring at her human-form brother: "It's time to go home!"

"Ok!"

The little guy walked towards the adorable child, glanced at the tombstone dampened by the drizzle, and then disappeared into the shadows with the child.

The sky grew increasingly gloomy, thunder rumbled across the heavens, and the rain poured down harder.

Time passed by, minute by minute, until midnight.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap exploded, as if splitting the sky in two. In the flash of lightning, the old driver's tombstone appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap rang out, and in the blink of an eye, three figures appeared in front of the old driver's tombstone.

One of the figures was particularly burly, carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"Shinnosuke, I never imagined that our next meeting would be our last!" The burly figure crouched down, placed flowers in front of the tombstone, and reached out to stroke the old driver's name.

"Do you really want to do this?"

The slender figure behind the burly man spoke with some unease, while the delicate figure beside him said, "If we don't do this, we will all perish!"

"Without Tomari Shinnosuke, we would all have become dust in history, never to be seen again!"

"Let's get started!"

"Ok!"

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the three men roughly dug open the old driver's grave, took away the body from the coffin, and then filled the grave back in to avoid being discovered. This time, however, there was only an empty coffin in the grave.

Thunder rumbled, and the cemetery returned to silence.
