The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Fengdu (Windy City)

The dilapidated city was filled with the aura of death; beneath the desolate landscape, humanity had vanished.

The Tower of Babel, standing in the heart of the city, is shimmering with the faint glow of flames on each floor. Through the narrow windows, one can see figures standing with their heads bowed in different poses.

Beneath the Tower of Babel, the dragon transformed into an ancient castle at Deland Castle.

Inside the castle.

"Ugh!"

Sitting in her chair, Serena looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh. Quanshui, who was sitting at the same table with Serena, silently filled Serena's water glass.

She knew what Serena was worried about, but these were things she couldn't interfere with.

Mick mentioned this very seriously: don't get involved, and don't reveal any thoughts about it.

Are you still thinking about the little one?

Mick used his tail to place the fruit plate on the table, and Serena nodded: "I don't know if doing this is right or wrong!"

"You know, he trusted us completely from the very beginning, but now I've broken his heart with my own hands. I feel like such a heartless stepmother!"

"This isn't a fairy tale, don't overthink it. He'll understand when he grows up!"

Is that really the case?

Serena sighed again and looked at the table beside her. On it were the driver that Amy had developed for the little guy, as well as several rings. Except for a bright blue ring, all of them were handmade by Serena for the little guy.

"I wonder what each of those kids is doing right now?!"

Serena, turning her gaze away from the driver, picked up a full teacup and took a sip. As soon as she put it down, Izumi picked up the teapot again and refilled it.

I mean the spring!

"Ok?"

"Are you trying to drown me?" Serena rolled her eyes at Quanshui and tapped his forehead. Quanshui grinned sheepishly. Seeing Quanshui's cheerful expression, Serena said enviously, "You're so lucky. You have Mike spoiling you. He shelters you from the wind and rain. You don't have to worry about anything!"

"I just can't do it; the man I chose has that kind of personality!"

"It's truly exhausting!"

While Serena was grieving, in the neighboring city of Fuuto, in Kuruma...

A plume of smoke billowed across the dilapidated city, crawling like a long dragon through the ruins.

The little guy riding the big cub didn't maintain the extreme state. Instead, it returned to normal. The eerie patterns on its chest flickered, and the little guy's tail was curled with the END memory.

This memory is so powerful that it has been tamed by him and will no longer cause him to go berserk after using it.

"boom!"

The speeding car suddenly slammed on the brakes, creating a huge crater in the ground.

"What's wrong, big kid?"

The little guy, who was asking the older cub a question in confusion, suddenly had its tail fur bristle, standing up like steel needles, warning it that it was in danger.

"This feeling is..."

The little guy squinted at the dilapidated street ahead, which was blocked by abandoned vehicles. For the big kid, this was just a matter of bumping into something, but now it seemed to hide great danger, making him stop.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A crisp footstep sounded, and a knight in indigo armor emerged from behind the abandoned vehicle.

"You're Sonosaki Miko?"

"Miku's son?"

"who are you?"

The little guy, sensing something amiss from the other person, instinctively became wary, seeing the wariness in the little guy's expression.

Hai Dongda sighed helplessly as he leaned against an abandoned vehicle: "You really are a carbon copy of your father!"

"You always look at people like that, honestly, that kind of look really hurts my feelings!"

"who are you?"

The little guy, showing no desire to talk, repeated his previous question, a glint of anger brewing in his eyes. Hai Dong Daiki raised his hands in surrender: "Don't be nervous!"

"I'm just a treasure hunter who happened to be passing by, and I just want to find some rare treasures!"

"Treasure hunter?"

The little guy tilted his head in confusion, but then, remembering what Miku had told him, he immediately glared at him and said, "Thief!"

"wipe!"

Hai Dong, who had just sworn, scratched his head and said, "Kids who speak too bluntly won't be liked!"

"..." The little guy stared straight at him without saying a word, and the atmosphere between them became increasingly awkward.

"Hey, aren't you going to ask me what I'm here for?"

Finally, Haidong couldn't help but break the deadlock, and the little guy shook his head: "Not curious!"

"Hey, you're such a terrible kid, you're not cute at all!!"

Little guy: "(﹁﹁)~→"

"Alright, alright!" Hai Dong said helplessly, "I surrender!"

"I came to see you this time on someone's behalf to check on your condition, but it seems you are in very good shape."

This time, the little guy said directly, "Leave after you're done watching, don't block our way!"

"Good, good, good!"

Hai Dong made way for him, and the big cub cautiously watched Hai Dong as he slowly moved forward. After the big cub carried the little guy past Hai Dong, Hai Dong suddenly spoke up: "Little guy, do you know what you're about to face?"

The older child stopped, while the younger one looked straight ahead: "I know!"

“I know Miku fairly well. Once that guy makes up his mind, he won’t easily change it. There’s no going back once he’s made a decision!”

"Ok!"

The little guy's voice was soft, but it contained a firmness as heavy as a mountain: "I won't regret it!"

"I will prove Dad wrong!"

"Then good luck, young man!"

After leaving a message, Hai Dong stood silently in place, while the little guy and the big cub continued running towards Fengdu.

"It seems your guess wasn't entirely correct, Shi!"

Stroking the gun in his hand, Hai Dong chuckled, "Well, since I've already completed my mission, I might as well go take another look around and see if there's any treasure here that can tempt me!"

With one hand on his hip, Hai Dong strode forward, his figure gradually thinning until he finally disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, the little guy had already left Kuruma and arrived in the area of ​​Fuuto in a short period of time.

Looking at the towering Tower of Babel that pierced the clouds, the little guy couldn't help but clench his paws. He knew what awaited him ahead, but he couldn't back down. If he did, he would never have the courage to move forward again.

"Dad, I'm here!"

Meanwhile, inside the castle that Delanlong mimicked.

Serena had gone to her room to rest, while the little guy's drive and ring were placed on the table.

The bright blue ring was obtained by the little guy in the Gaim world.

The surface of the ring shone with a light the size of a grain of rice, like a firefly in the dark.

But in the next second, the ring was swallowed by the shadows and disappeared along with the driver.

"Rumble..."

The cub, which had been making a loud noise while running, stopped again, because in front of it was a giant wolf with snow-white fur and a moon-white bone mask covering its face.

"Huh?"

younger sister?

The larger cub let out a low growl of confusion, and the smaller cub, now a moon wolf, took a step to the side, revealing its graceful silhouette.

"younger sister!"

A cute little girl with a moon-white mask covered in intricate star patterns walked out from behind the little boy, her high heels making a series of crisp sounds as they hit the ground.

"Shh!"

With a flick of her arm, the little cutie tossed him the pendant that belonged to the little guy, saying, "Let's leave here, brother!"

The little one caught the pendant and hung it around his neck. The adorable child said bluntly, "Don't try to challenge Father anymore. Now that you're free, leave this place and never come back, no matter where you go!"

"Are you worried about me, little sister?" The little one smiled warmly at the little cutie, who snorted, "Heh, I just don't want my silly brother to do anything silly!"

Thanks!

After the little guy thanked them, he touched the pendant, and a flash of light appeared in the pendant. The driver flew out automatically. Looking at the gold and silver driver in front of him, the little guy stretched out his paw and gently stroked it.

The big cub shook its head and continued forward.

"Didn't I tell you? Leave here and never come back!"

The little cutie was a bit annoyed that the little guy chose to keep going.

"No, I won't leave!"

The little guy, who had firmly shaken his head at his sister, glanced at the Tower of Babel in the distance: "I'm going to see him!"

"Ask him personally to find out why all this happened!"

What if your father doesn't answer you?

"Then we have no choice but to..." Looking into the little cutie's eyes, the little guy said, enunciating each word clearly, "to fight to the death!"

"idiot!"

Why do you keep trying to challenge your father?

"Isn't it better to maintain the status quo?"

Seeing his little cutie jumping up and down in anger, the little guy transformed into a weirdo, took a step forward, and grabbed the little cutie's head: "It's okay, nothing will happen!"
