The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Father, I have ultimately followed the same path as you!"

(The veteran driver's version ends here!)

Chapter 1: The Cat Immortal can revive on the spot, young man!

Rikudo City, Tokyo.

early morning.

Although it was only early morning, the streets were already bustling with cars and pedestrians were crowding the sidewalks.

On a bench by the roadside.

A blue-haired, gold-spotted long-tailed cat had just woken up. After yawning with its mouth wide open, it swatted away the dog's paws that were pressing down on it.

"ha!!!"

Miku yawned again and squatted down on the chair. He shook himself, and all the dust on his body disappeared, along with the dog next to him, who looked brand new.

"This world must be the world of the ghost child now!"

Looking around at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery, Miku curled his tail and somehow produced a hot dog.

At a roadside stall just a few hundred meters from the bench, a hot dog had vanished, and the cash box contained extra coins, exactly the price of the hot dog.

"Awoo!"

Iggy, who opened his mouth wide to snatch food from the cat's mouth, missed. Miku retaliated by smacking him on the head with his tail: "Stop messing around!!"

"Awooo!"

Iggy, who was about to start cursing, pouted, but the next second a steaming hot hamburger appeared in front of him.

"Eat quickly, then we'll go find some fun!"

Miku finished the hot dog in a few bites, then casually tossed the bamboo skewer into the trash can.

"The last world was filled with bitter and resentful scheming; this world needs a good break!"

"Hmph, hmph, hmph..."

Iggy, who squealed like a pig, didn't have much of an opinion. After all, being beaten down by his own cub while giving the water was quite a test of acting skills.

Moreover, it's even more frustrating to be unable to revive.

He had been eagerly looking for some fun and relaxation for a long time.

As the cat and dog interacted, passersby ignored them, just like in an urban legend, where they could only be heard of but never seen.

After finishing their breakfast, the cat and dog quickly left the street, leisurely strolling along the street looking for fun.

No. 10, Hitomigaoka 5-chome, 3-block, Rikudo City.

Big Sky Temple.

"Little Zun!"

"Little Zun!!"

A short-haired girl dressed in somewhat tacky clothes stormed into the temple. The young monk Yamanouchi Mijou, who was leading the temple's only two disciples in their training, remained motionless, though his constantly trembling eyelids suggested he was just being deliberately mysterious.

"Where is that brat Xiao Zun?"

"You two planned to go out together, didn't you?"

"Looks like I got stood up again!"

Shibuya and Narita chuckled and said in unison, "They should be in the underground office right now!"

"This guy first inexplicably dropped out of his studies, and now he's stood me up. I have to teach him a lesson!"

Akari Tsukimura stormed into the inner room and disappeared from the main hall. At that moment, the monk suddenly shouted, "Hah!"

"Mingli, don't disturb the young master's cultivation!"

"Huh, where is everyone?"

Upon seeing that no one was in the hall, the young monk hurriedly stood up: "This time, I must reason with her!"

Akari Tsukimura stormed into the underground office after entering the inner room. As soon as she entered, she saw a red-haired young man in a floral shirt lying on the table, fast asleep with his mouth slightly open and tears streaming down his face.

"Little Zun!!!"

With a roar, Akari Tsukimura grabbed Oni-chan by the ear and yanked him up. A terrifying smile played on her lips as she chuckled, "Little Takeru, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"Oh, it's Akari. What's wrong?" Ghost Boy stood up with a blank look on his face, but soon the sharp pain in his ear made him wince.

"Oh what? You promised me you'd go to the science fair, why did you stand me up?!"

"Spare me, Akari," the boy pleaded with the science-minded woman before him. "You know I'm not interested in those things!"

"You have to go even if you're not interested!"

"Don't force me to do something I don't want to do. This is what I'm interested in!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the little devil retrieved the book he had been sleeping under and escaped from Akari Tsukimura's clutches. He then opened the book and said, "Although I couldn't understand this book when I was a child, I now understand a little about the greatness of these great people!"

"Come on, no matter how great they are, what does it have to do with you?"

"While predecessors can serve as role models, don't become too obsessed with them!" Akari took the book from the boy's hand and slammed it onto the table.

Ghost Boy said with utter helplessness, "Oh, Akari, why won't you believe in Ghost Hunters?"

How can you expect me to believe something that doesn't exist?

"It clearly exists!" The demon boy, touching the hilt of his sword at his chest, spoke with longing in his eyes: "I really want to be like Musashi, able to burn my life to its fullest!"

"It's a pity that life is a concept, not a property of combustion!"

Why do you always take things so seriously, Akari?

"This is a matter of principle!"

Akari Tsukimura crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a big X.

Just then, the little monk rushed in in a panic: "Something terrible has happened!"

"Come here quickly!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

The two who followed the little monk into the living room were both taken aback when they saw the television.

A car that broke in the middle for no reason while driving, a Ferris wheel that was running normally but suddenly derailed, and a table that was suddenly smashed while pedestrians were enjoying their morning.

"This was definitely made by a ghost, absolutely no doubt about it, it's exactly the same as what the previous abbot recorded!"

The monk, pointing at the television and shouting, disregarded his appearance, while the little devil watched the television with an interested expression.

Akari looked at the television with a skeptical expression.

However, none of the three noticed that in one of the TV shots, a cat with a disgruntled expression was staring at the air in front of it.

At the same time, the scene was broadcast on television.

"Damn it, where did these two idiots come from?!"

Miku shook off the water splashed on its tail, its mouth twitching, its expression extremely displeased.

Before him, in a realm unseen by ordinary people, a bewitching figure wielding a trident-tipped steel spear smugly gazed at a group of panicked pedestrians.

Little did they know that they had been targeted by an extremely dangerous god!

Aside from special means, the Eye Demon cannot be seen; only beings with the same power as the Eye Demon can see it.

Although Miku doesn't possess the above two qualities, his extremely high status makes it quite easy for him to encounter these ghostly things!

Also, don't compare him to some orange that has divine power but restricts itself.

People are different!

"Awoo?"

Iggy stared at the bewitching demon before him, seemingly with an urge to bite him; even the dog, who had once teetered between life and death, could see the demon.

The sudden disruption by the eye demon caused a drink to be poured over them; Miku got splashed on his tail, while Iggy was soaked all over.

These two fierce-looking people are truly enraged now.

"No rush, let's follow them first!"

"Play with him slowly later!"

Miku wiped the water off himself and Iggy, and then the cat and dog followed the two beholders with blank expressions.

Following their senses of the Blank Eye Soul, the Knife-Eye Demon and the Gun-Eye Demon arrived near the Great Sky Temple, and incidentally attacked the mailman who was delivering packages.

The mailman, terrified out of his wits, didn't notice the almost imperceptible tremor in the package in his hands.

The cat flicked its tail and caught a blank eye-soul replica in its paw.

"Collectible acquired!"

Miku, who had a slight smile on his lips, suddenly changed his expression and looked into a certain void, where a middle-aged man dressed in ancient clothes stood with his hands behind his back, watching everything in front of him.

"Tsk, they can't wait that long already!"

Miku wagged his tail, a hint of disdain in his expression, not in a hurry to go and cause trouble for Guizai.

Soon, Miku patted Ichi on the shoulder amidst a commotion of shouts: "Let's go, the fun's about to begin!"

"Ok!"

Miku, following the sound, witnessed the scene of Ghost Boy being slashed by the Knife-Eyed Demon.

"You're dead already!" Miku looked at the barely alive Ghost Boy lying on the ground, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "But you're lucky you ran into me!"

With a flash of red light in his eyes, Miku met the gaze of the little devil. The little devil shuddered, his consciousness vanished from his body, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Holy area.

"Pfft!"
