The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"rest assured!"

The little guy patted the cute little one's head and led the big one past her. The big one glanced at the little one and then gave a silly, goofy smile.

Then, without looking back, he followed the little guy step by step toward the Tower of Babel.

"My brother is such a hopeless idiot!"

The little cutie stomped hard on the ground, creating a huge dent. Turning around to look at the little guy and the big cub walking further and further away, she asked, "Do you think they'll be alright?"

"Waaah..."

The cub lowered its head and let out a low whimper.

Three minutes later, the little guy arrived at the foot of the Tower of Babel and looked at the towering Tower of Babel in front of him, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"I'm here, Dad!"

The little guy, who was carrying his cub, walked into the tower without realizing that not long after he went in, a dimensional wall suddenly appeared in the air.

The dimensional barrier brought forth a magenta knight, behind whom were all sorts of Heisei main riders.

"Hmph, I told you I'd be back!"

Chapter 131: The Father-Son Game, the Beginning of Filial Piety!

The Tower of Babel.

Miku was created by transforming the original landmark of the city, the Wind Tower. It has sixteen floors from top to bottom, with each floor having a roughly the same internal area, except that the lower floors are much thicker than the upper floors.

The tower becomes increasingly slender as you ascend, with the sixteenth floor, the top level, connecting to the entrance to Miku's divine realm, allowing direct access.

When Wang Xiaoming came to cause trouble before, he easily passed through the sixteenth floor and arrived directly in front of Miku. However, he was defeated by Iqi's unreasonable defense and regenerative power and had to retreat briefly.

This time, however, Miku summoned back the power of his War God Knights scattered throughout the world and stationed them on each floor, including even the defeated Dragon Knight, Kabuto, and Kiva.

Miku's true core objective was unknown to everyone except himself; even Iggy and Serena only had a very superficial understanding of it.

It did not come close to the real truth.

Inside the Tower of Babel, the little guy led his older cub up the steps, passing by one after another stone-carved knights who stood motionless like guardians of the tower. These knights, as the tower's guardians, showed no reaction to the little guy, as if he were just air passing by.

In reality, this was a result that Miku tacitly approved. Try doing it with someone else!

These tower-guarding knights can beat you to a pulp in no time.

"Where did these knights come from?" The little guy stood on the eleventh floor, scrutinizing the knight in front of him, whose body was half black and half green. He was particularly surprised by the memory inserted in the driver on the other's waist.

"So there are other people besides us who can use memory. And they can even transform into knights." The little guy studied W for a moment before continuing forward, all the way to the sixteenth floor. At the entrance connecting the sixteenth floor to the divine realm, there was an ordinary-looking husky.

That being said, none of those who appear here are to be underestimated.

"Big dog!"

Seeing the complex look in Iggy's eyes, the older one nervously pawed at the floor a few times. Although Iggy was usually very amiable and even a bit silly towards them, no one dared to underestimate his strength. Mick's previous playful interactions with him were limited to their normal state; if the two were to fight after transforming, Iggy could easily crush Mick.

"Ugh..."

Iggy, who had slightly opened his eyes, swayed his body. His shiny, smooth fur looked even more mysterious under the illumination of the divine gate behind him.

"Woof, woof, woof!" The big cub barked at Iggy before the little guy could, his expression a mixture of tension and anticipation.

Iggy shook his head slightly, "Awoo!"

He pointed at the little one with his paw, then at the big one, the meaning clear: one of them had to stay.

"this..."

The little guy glanced at the big cub and his expression turned serious. It was obvious that if he wanted to see his father, he had to go alone. Otherwise, Iggy wouldn't be here, acting as the last tower guardian.

"Ow!!"

Before the little guy could react, the big cub suddenly rushed out with a long howl. Its gray eyes flashed with various colors as it opened its blood-red maw and pounced on its father.

"laugh!"

Iggy snorted and disdainfully went to meet him, but in just one exchange, the big cub flew back at an even faster speed than before.

"Big cub!"

“┗-｀O′-┛Aww~~”

The older cub, having rolled over to its feet, indicated it was fine and instead bared its teeth at its father. Iggy smacked its lips and walked towards its cub.

Damn it, you dare to bare your teeth at me!

They've really gotten themselves into a lot of trouble!

Seeing the little guy looking nervously at the big kid after being ignored by Iggy, the big kid shook his head at him to indicate that he shouldn't worry about him.

At this point, the little guy realized that if he wanted to see his father, he could only go alone.

"Hiss...whoosh!"

The little guy took a deep breath and forced himself to stop thinking about the struggle between Iggy and Big Cub behind him. He then firmly stepped into the gate of the divine realm.

Like passing through a layer of water, the little guy looked at the reflection on the water's surface, which was rippling on the gate to the divine realm behind him.

"We'll see who's right and who's wrong this time, Father!"

After passing through the fifteen torii gates, the little guy finally arrived in front of his father, Miku, who was lounging on the throne in a very lazy posture.

Miku, now in his normal cat form, opened his eyes a crack as he met his son. "Looks like you've successfully broken free from my control!"

The little boy, upon seeing his father, no longer felt the surprise, anticipation, and affection of their first meeting; instead, he was filled with anger and complex emotions.

A thousand words are stuck in my heart, and no matter how I open and close my mouth, I can't say anything.

"What's wrong? Are you mute?"

Miku opened his eyes and carefully examined his cub. Apart from the color of its pupils and the color of its limbs, it was exactly the same as him, as if it had been carved from the same mold.

Especially the emotions contained in those eyes, which were exactly the same as mine back then.

On the other hand, the little guy was also sizing up Miku.

His father, whom he knew so well, now seemed very unfamiliar. His father's eyes, which were both stern and ruthless, and the imposing manner he exuded in every move, made him see his father in a new light.

This is a cold, ruthless, cunning, and ferocious beast!

The impressions I had before were just things the other party had deliberately created for me.

Seeing that the little guy still didn't speak, Miku grinned and said, "Hey hey, I remember when we first met, you were like this too."

"Her eyes were filled with joy, yet she looked at me with a hint of timidity. That hesitation between wanting to get closer was just too adorable!"

"dad...."

The little guy murmured softly and drooped his tail, but Miku's next words were like a sharp knife that mercilessly pierced his heart.

"But to be honest, son!"

Miku looked down at the little guy, his expression turning disgust and loathing: "I never actually loved you!"

Upon hearing this, the little guy, as if struck by lightning, took two steps back, his pupils contracting as he stared at Miku in disbelief.

"I'm telling the truth. When I first heard about you, I didn't plan to care about you. Whether you fend for yourself or grow wild on your own, it didn't really concern me much!"

"If it weren't for Serena's persistent requests and Mick's emphasis on you, you'd probably still be scavenging for food in that corner garbage can, or at best, being adopted and having a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Your mother stole my genetic material without permission and then created you. This is a disgrace to me. If she hadn't wisely chosen to die, I would have made trouble for her."

"To me, you and your mother are an insult, a desecration!"

"As an artificial life form, your mere existence is a sin, and this sin comes from your mother. Your current fate is entirely due to your arrogant and incredibly foolish mother!"

"You should never have existed in this world. You are a curse to me!"

"And this curse is entirely because of Amy Lee Cooper. As the cursed child she created, you are nothing more than a tool to me!"

"Shut up!"

"Um?!"

The little guy's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at Miku: "I said shut up!"

"Oh?"

A look of interest appeared on Miku's face. The little guy gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Whether it's control or deception, you can do whatever you want to me. Just don't insult my mother!"

"She gave me life, she gave me hope, she gave me courage!"

"I will not allow anyone to slander or insult her!"

"Even if it were my father, I wouldn't allow it!"

"So..." the little guy roared, his mouth agape, "Shut up!"

The little guy with his tail on his chest took out the driver that Amy had developed for him. The driver instantly attached to his back, and his tail, which was strung with his ring, swept across it.

"Transform!"

"Hey, you're planning to use this power to rebel against me?" Miku stood up, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "How naive. But since you've gone this far, I'll play along with you!"

Miku, who suddenly had a ring appear in front of him, said in a low voice, "Transform!"

Two red magic circles were projected into the air, and as two different tones rang out, the little guy, transformed into his knight form, stood facing Miku.

Standing before his throne, Miku beckoned to the little guy, "Come on, while your heart is still beating, do your best to please me!"

"This is your last remaining value!"

Without a word, the little guy took out a signal axe. The four big characters "Knight's Only" on the signal axe lit up instantly, and the little guy charged towards Miku with the axe in hand.

"laugh!"

With a disdainful smile, Miku drew his cane-sword and approached with utter contempt.

The battle between father and son has begun!

...........

Meanwhile, inside the castle.

Serena, who had fallen asleep in bed, suddenly woke up with a start. She rolled out of bed, clutching her chest, her pale face covered in sweat.
