The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Miku, who was deep in thought, saw Jia Toushun's eyes light up, but they quickly dimmed.

"No, Jia Tou Shun is a member of a conglomerate after all. If I don't handle this properly, I'm finished!"

"I'm still too weak!"

Miku sighed inwardly and looked somewhat dejected. Wakana couldn't help but feel concerned when she saw him like this.

"What's wrong, Miku?"

"N-nothing...nothing!"

With a nonchalant look in his eyes, Miku was the first to leave the table.

Unlike usual, his tail was drooping as he walked out of the restaurant and into his room.

“Iggy.…”

"What should I do?"

Miku jumped onto the windowsill and struggled to hold the dog tag in his hands. The shiny tag reflected a hazy light, and Iggy's image with his tongue sticking out was engraved on it, seemingly staring at Miku.

"I'm still too weak!"

"Too weak..."

..........

What exactly happened to him?

Akiko placed a hot towel on the forehead of the unconscious A-ge, then sat down beside him, muttering to herself with a worried look in her eyes.

"We'll have to wait until he wakes up to know for sure!"

Shotaro looked at Terui Ryu with great concern, while Philip sat at the table with his hand on his cheek and his eyes flickering.

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. When the door was opened, a middle-aged man wearing a beige suit and a matching beige bowler hat walked in. His face was unshaven, and his eyes kept looking around, as if he was worried about something.

"Ah, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Shotaro quickly ushered him into the house and, after asking him to sit down, took out a photograph.

"This is your son and wife's current address!"

"thanks, thanks!"

The middle-aged man thanked him profusely, then pulled out an envelope containing money, placed it on the table, and prepared to leave. However, Shotaro called out to him, "Please wait a moment..."

"...Professor Yamashiro!"

Do you know him, Shotaro?

Philip glanced at Professor Takayama, and Shotaro nodded.

"Professor Yamashiro was a renowned neuroscientist ten years ago, but he was pronounced dead one day ten years ago. There were seven other people in the same situation as you at that time, and all seven of them were scientists!"

"And judging from your behavior, you know Philip, Mr. Yamashiro. Could you explain that?"

"I can't say, I can't say!"

Professor Yamashiro was very resistant to this topic. After putting away the photos, he left quickly without even closing the door.

"Hey, Professor Yamashiro!"

Shotaro grabbed the clothes and chased after her. He had finally managed to help his partner find some things, how could he let her just run away like that?

But as soon as Shotaro stepped outside, he saw a worm-like hybrid pinning Professor Yamashiro to the ground. After a short while, it released him and hopped away.

"This is...."

Shotaro was shocked to find that Professor Yamashiro had been attacked as soon as he stepped out. He immediately ran to the attacker's side and squatted down. Compared to the energetic Professor Yamashiro just now, he now looked like he was on the verge of death.

"I didn't expect the organization's pursuit to arrive so quickly!"

Panting, Dr. Yamashiro gripped Shotaro's collar tightly with one hand, "I have something I need you to tell Philip..."

.....

"A crazy, perverted doctor!"

"A cold, expressionless man!"

"A madman who experiments on himself!"

"A cold, expressionless man!"

"Shameless good-for-nothing!"

"A cold, expressionless man!"

.........

Isaka and Kato, who had been exchanging barbs at each other, sat facing each other, the tension between them even more intense than before.

"Sister, aren't you going to try to persuade her?"

Wakana came to Saeko's side and looked at the two of them with some concern, afraid that Isaka would not be able to withstand the ridicule and that the messenger, Jia Tou Shun, would be killed on the spot.

"What's there to worry about? I trust Dr. Isaka!"

After Saeko's words reached the two of them, Isaka smiled smugly at Kazuto: "You heard that, Ms. Saeko still favors me more!"

"Snapped!"

The teacup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. Kato looked at Saeko, then at Isaka, stood up, walked up to Saeko, and said, "Saeko-san, I like you!"

"what?"

Saeko, the person involved, was completely bewildered. Wasn't it supposed to be this straightforward? Wakana, standing to the side, was also shocked as she looked at Jun Kato. After all, they hadn't even met for a day, and Jun Kato had already confessed so bluntly!

"puff!"

The black tea that had just entered his mouth was instantly spat out by Isaka, who looked at Kato with a somewhat unfriendly expression!

"This is so absurd!"

Saeko, arms crossed, flung her hands away and left. Isaka wiped the tea stains off his clothes and patted Jun Kato on the shoulder as he walked past him, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Mr. Jia Tou is so funny!"

Am I funny?

Pointing to his own nose, he nodded and asked Wakana. Wakana smiled politely and quickly left the room.

"Hey, where's Wakana?"

Miku, who had just entered the room, naturally did not see Wakana leave. He suppressed his sadness and wanted to stay with Wakana for a while, but when he entered the room, he only saw Kato Shun.

"Little kitty, do you think I'm funny?"

"I was really serious!"

Jia Tou, who had squatted down, asked Miku again, and Miku scratched his ear curiously and said, "What...what...what did you do?"

"I just told Ms. Saeko that I like her!"

"Forehead...."

"Excuse me, I...I...I've bothered you, goodbye!"

Miku turned to leave, not wanting to pay attention to this guy who was even more clueless than a certain orange tabby, but unexpectedly, Jia Tou Shun grabbed him and pulled him back.

"What...what...what do you want to do?"

"I just wanted to ask you, am I funny?"

With a sigh, Miku helplessly turned to Jia Toushun. It seemed he needed to have a good talk with this expressionless man. Since he was in a bad mood anyway, sometimes it was better to hurt someone else than to hurt himself!

Besides, the night is still very long!

Inside Narumi's office, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

After dealing with Professor Yamashiro's matter, Philip and Shotaro returned to the agency.

Philip remained somewhat silent throughout the journey, as he needed time to process the sudden revelation of his origins.

"Hey, Philip!"

"Shotaro, can I have some peace and quiet?"

Philip opened the door to the inner garage dejectedly, his mind replaying past events.

"Guards! Guards! Guards!"

Chapter 77. Chapter Seventy-Four: The Storm Is Coming!

Inside the Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro, holding a cup of coffee personally brewed by A-chan, stared at the garage door. Who would have thought that Philip's background was so astonishing?

Arata Yukito, the third son of the Yuki family.

The largest underground organization in Fuuto, the Museum, is centered around the Madoka family, with each member of the Madoka family serving as an executive of the museum.

"So, Miku is also a museum official now!"

Brother A leaned against the porch, looking much better after a day and night of deep sleep.

"Who knows? That cat may have a bad temper, but it's quite good at handling matters of principle!"

Shotaro, no longer looking at the garage door, found his phone ringing incessantly in his pocket. When he answered it, his expression instantly turned sweet.

"The Wind Chime Art Museum? Okay, okay, it's there. I'll be there in a bit!"

After hanging up the phone, Shotaro picked up his favorite hat from the door and put it on his head.

"Philip is in your hands now, I'm leaving..."

Shotaro, with a shrug, closes the door and goes off to find his own happiness!

"What an idiot!"

Akiko complained with a hint of exasperation, "Philip is still depressed, yet he goes on a date by himself!"

"Zuo trusts Philip, which is why he felt safe going out!"
