The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Standing hunched over on the beach, Iggy scratched his behind, looking utterly nonchalant. Seeing the indifference in Iggy's eyes, Mino curled his lip; he wouldn't be fooled by Iggy's facade.

He learned how painful a spanking really was after being taught a lesson by this guy.

"Eye of Miracles, let's begin."

"Yes, sir!"

After hovering in mid-air for a moment, the Eye of Miracles landed on Minnie's back.

"Driver On!"

The Miracle Eye, with its gaping mouth, gave rise to a belt buckle. As Minnie curiously turned to look back, she was enveloped in a hazy light and then transformed into a human form.

"Hen Shin!"

With a low shout, the Eye of Miracles' eyes widened suddenly, and from the shattered armor in the void, a black robe with vermilion tinges flew out from the Eye of Miracles' mouth.

"Click click click..."

Amidst a series of soft, rustling sounds, the armor adhered to the hazy humanoid body, the light suddenly became dazzling, and the robes quickly fell onto Minnie's body.

Kamen Rider Minnie is born!

Chapter Thirty-Four: From this moment on, I am your mother!

On the golden sand, the tide rises and falls.

A tall, slender figure stood in the circle that had been drawn, looking at her hands with a somewhat bewildered expression.

She had a tall and slender body, and wore a long robe with black and crimson hues. The sleeves of the robe were very large, and when she raised her arms, most of the sleeves drooped down.

The robe reached just to the knees, and her slender calves were adorned with delicate high heels. The patterns covering her body were the same color as the robe, except that a cross pattern formed on her chest.

"This is the Knight Mode?"

Mino stared at Minnie for a long time, her eyes gleaming with longing.

He turned his head and said to Miku, "Damn old man, I want one too!"

"You want one too?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Do you want to slap me?!" Miku raised his hand to slap him. "You haven't even fully mastered the power of your Monster form, and you want to go for Rider form?"

"I think you've just eaten too much; you're making yourself uncomfortable by being so full!"

"cut!"

Mino scoffed in dissatisfaction and turned her head away. Just then, a huge explosion suddenly erupted from the side.

"boom!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, a large crater was blasted into the sand beneath Minnie's feet. Wisps of smoke rose from the crater and dissipated with the sea breeze, even reflecting light under the sun.

This is the residue left by sand crystallizing when it encounters high temperatures.

"What just happened?" Mino looked at Miku, whose lips twitched slightly. Was it right or wrong for him to let Minnie start training at this time?

It's obvious that the explosion was caused by Minnie's inability to properly control her strength, resulting in a stomp.

However, since we're already here, we should at least give it a try.

What if Minnie has a talent for fighting?

"It's nothing, Nini just didn't control her strength well." Miku casually brushed it off, while Mino looked unconvinced. Did she really not control her strength well?

This clearly shows that the power to completely control oneself has not yet been fully realized.

It was obvious that Minnie was too young and lacked self-control, a flaw that even Mino could see.

"Fine, let's see what they're made of!"

Miku, sighing with regret, wagged his tail. "Now bombard Ichi! Use your strongest power!"

"Meow?"

Xiaomi tilted her head, looking at Miku with a bewildered expression.

"Oh no, this child is still too young!"

Miku immediately understood Minnie's gaze. She was too young to fight on her own.

If it's based on instinct, it will only breed a beast, and it's not worth trying at all.

"Alright, let's call it a day!"

For the first time, Miku felt a sense of defeat as he reopened the spatial rift. "As expected, I'm still not suited to raising children!"

Kamen Rider Minnie was put back into the womb by her cheap father just five minutes after her birth.

......

The world of beholders.

In the royal palace, during prayers.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The crisp, rhythmic footsteps came from outside the prayer room. Ai slowly opened her eyes and looked at the newcomer.

"Queen!"

White Ghost Boy knelt on one knee, bowing deeply to Ai on the throne.

"Your Excellency, I gave you strength and hope, so why did you betray me?"

"Betrayal?" Bai Guizai's expression changed, and he raised his head and said in a deep voice, "I absolutely have no intention of betraying you."

"Then why have you been holed up in that dilapidated temple all this time, refusing to do anything for me?!"

"If this isn't betrayal, what is it?!"

With a sharp shout, Ai stood up, walked in front of Bai Guizai, raised his leg, and stepped on Bai Guizai's back.

“I value you highly!” The sharp heel of the high heel jabbed into the white devil’s back, causing his face to contort. “But you have failed me. Shebert and Igor, the two subordinates I gave you, have both made achievements, but what about you?”

What have you done for me?

"You just stay cooped up in that dilapidated temple day after day, indulging in the illusion of family affection!"

Do I really need to remind you of the harsh reality?

"You are not Tenkuji Takeru at all. You are just a small part that bastard cat cut off from the original Tenkuji Takeru."

“You have nothing. You have no memories of your parents, no memories of your friends, not even memories of the past.”

Ai, stepping on the back of the white-haired boy, lowered her body and said, "I made you realize all of this, but you refuse to accept this reality!"

"You've been running away, you've been resisting!"

"I...I didn't!"

"No?!"

Ai, who was holding Bai Guizai's hair, stared into his eyes and said slowly and deliberately, "Then prove it to me."

With a casual wave of his hand, Ai opened an eye-shaped mark in the air, from which the unconscious Tenkuji Yuri fell.

"Mother?!"

"Mom!" Ai sneered, "She's not your mother. She's Tenkuuji Takeru's mother, not yours!"

"You're just a piece of soul that was cut off, and a worthless piece of trash at that. If it weren't for that cat maintaining your existence with its own power, you would have disappeared long ago!"

"And right now, it's me, not him, who's keeping you alive. Although I don't know what he's up to, do you think there's such a thing as a free lunch?"

Ai, who had grabbed the white devil's head and slammed it to the ground, returned to his throne: "If you want your own reality, then prove your worth to me!"

"My worth?!"

White Ghost Boy slowly raised his head, and Ai flicked her finger, throwing out a long knife.

"Kill this woman, and this will be your reality!"

"Killed...Mom?"

Bai Guizi's face changed drastically in an instant. He retreated hastily, bracing himself on the ground until he reached the wall: "No, it's impossible, I can't do it, she's my mother!"

"I can't do it!"

"Useless!" Ai shouted mercilessly, casually pulling out an item resembling sand from Bai Guizai's body.

"Forehead..."

The white-haired boy, trembling as if electrocuted, stared at Ai in horror, "What did you do?"

"I'm just taking back the power that maintains your form. After all, you're no longer of any use to me, you piece of trash!"

"I...I...I'm going to disappear?"

“That’s right. If you lose the power to maintain your form, you will disappear. At best, you’ll become an Assault Eye Demon; at worst, well…” Ai didn’t continue, and White Ghost’s expression changed again.

"Will it disappear completely?!"

"Probably. After all, you are just an insignificant part of Tenkuji-sama's soul, like a normal person's appendix. You are useless to keep and can be removed without any problem."

"Now that I've drained the power that sustains your form, you probably have about a minute left. Don't you want to go and silently mourn your mother again?"

"Don't you love her very much?"

"I...I...I..."

Looking at his transparent palm, Bai Guizai's eyes revealed sadness, despair, helplessness, and powerlessness.

Seeing the unconscious Yuri Tenkuji, Shiroki gritted his teeth. He grabbed a long sword from the ground, closed his eyes, and slashed down hard at Yuri Tenkuji.

"I'm sorry, I want to live. I don't want to disappear. I want to live!"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Bai Guizai felt a warm liquid spray onto his face, and a slender, soft, and warm hand grasped his own.

The white ghost, his face covered in blood, opened his eyes and saw Tenkuji Yuri with a deep wound on her chest. Blood was spilling from Tenkuji Yuri's mouth, and she could open and close her mouth but could not utter a word.

Those gentle, watery eyes were filled with sorrow and bewilderment. Her own beloved son had actually attacked her with a knife.
