The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Miko looked at the purple cartridge in Miku's hand with a puzzled expression. "Dad, are you telling me to eat it?"

"no!"

"Before we begin learning, I want to tell you something!"

Miku tossed the cassette to Miko, saying, "The principle of 'enemies and foes sharing the same origin' applies here!"

"Enemies and foes share the same origin?"

"That's right. Whether it's a Kamen Rider or a monster, their power originates from the same source. It's just that the users are different, which is why the nature of their power is different!"

"Our mission to seize the power of devouring is based on this very condition!"

"So, according to you, the power of the Kamen Riders in this world comes from the Gashats?"

Miko, quick to apply what she's learned, nodded and said, "Yes, Kamen Riders first need to undergo qualifying surgery to generate Bugster antibodies in their bodies."

"And the weirdos of this world are Bugsters!"

"So, your first lesson is to infect the virus in this cartridge and use your abilities to engulf the virus and generate powerful antibodies."

"All the cartridges?"

Miko's lips twitched as she glanced at the other 10 cassettes floating in mid-air.

"Correct!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to absorb that guy's power!"

Miku, who had taken the cartridge from Miko, pressed the button on the prototype cartridge.

"Mighty Action X!!"

"Oh, I just picked this one up randomly. Looks like you and Ex-Aid really are destined for each other!"

Staring at the black game field unfolding in the air, Miko subconsciously took a step back.

"Dad, what are you trying to do?"

"Come here, it's time for your shot!"

Miku moved closer to Miko, and without hesitation, plunged the prototype cartridge in his hand into Miko's chest.

"what!!!"

Chapter Sixteen: Enjoy the game to the fullest!

"what!!!"

A piercing scream echoed back and forth in the alternate dimension where the quantum computer was located. Miko's little face scrunched up, and the whole cat curled up and rolled around on the ground.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

"Stop howling!"

Miku rolled his eyes and tossed the cassette back to Eve, looking at his son, who was full of drama, with obvious disdain.

"It doesn't hurt at all, so what are we acting out here?"

Miko, who had stopped moving, opened her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body.

"Yes, it doesn't hurt at all!"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Miku, who had whipped his tail across his son's head, said irritably, "Do you really think the virus on the vaccination tape will cause you great pain?"

"But I've seen those gaming addicts, and they're all in excruciating pain!"

Miko scratched her ear, her eyes full of confusion.

"Don't underestimate your body, don't underestimate the talent I passed down to you, and don't underestimate your END memory!"

Miku, slapping his mentally challenged son on the head again and again, said helplessly, "Although the process of inoculating with the virus is painful, the process of being devoured and integrated is not easy to endure."

"But at least I'm still here. Do you think I'd make you suffer?"

"Silly boy!"

Hehehe..

Miko, scratching her head and grinning foolishly, moved closer to Miku, trying to rub against her. Instead, Miku shoved her away, saying, "How old are you now? Stop playing these games!"

"Get out of here now, find a place to sleep, and properly digest the Mighty Action X virus."

"Oh!"

Miko, who was excitedly running out of the alternate dimension, did not notice the yellow pathogens that were constantly wriggling on her fur like silk threads.

"This child is so much better than I was back then!"

With a sigh, Miku looked up at Eve, who was collecting data, then waved his paw to draw out a series of data and began encoding.

That data needs to be processed properly.

These are all valuable assets he will have in the future.

........

Holy City Prison.

Meeting room.

"Hello, it's our first time meeting!"

The car, adorned with a frivolous smile, was draped in its own reddish-brown leather jacket, and round, aviator-style sunglasses hung on its chest.

Under the watchful eyes of prison guards, Dan Masamune showed no surprise as he entered the visiting room.

Instead, he sat casually in the chair.

"A face I've never seen before!" Old Tan, with his legs crossed, asked Cheche directly, "What brings you here to see me?"

The car leaned forward, close to the bulletproof glass riddled with holes. "I've come to ask you about some things."

"Mr. Masamune Dan, the first president of Genm Games!"

"Speak your mind directly, don't beat around the bush!"

Old Tan, his eyes darkening, crossed his arms, while Che Che gave a nonchalant smile: "In that case, I'll just ask directly!"

"What do you know about game-related viruses?"

"That's what you're asking!"

With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, Old Tan slowly said, "That was a curse upon humanity born from my son's talent, which was unacceptable to the world!"

"A curse!"

Leaning back in his car, he crossed his legs and asked, "So, do you think it's possible for a vaccine to completely eradicate this virus?"

"Completely eradicated?" Old Tan scoffed. "Impossible. As long as games, the internet, and data exist, gaming addiction will never be eradicated, and a cure is still possible!"

"But now, what you called impossible has become possible!"

Taking off his sunglasses, Cheche blew on the lenses: "CatsDog, the world's number one gaming company, has already met with your son privately!"

"And I told him a shocking fact!"

"fact?"

"Yes, that means they have developed a vaccine to cure gaming addiction."

"Did you come here just to tell me these things?"

Old Tan, his face calm and expressionless, stood up. "If that's all there is to it, then please leave!"

"No, I actually wanted to ask you something!"

"Those were just incidental!"

What do you want to ask?

"You know Emu Hojo, right? I want to ask about..."

...........

"If you've figured it out, you can come find me!"

"M!"

The words spoken by the mysterious knight who defeated him and the little angel a few days ago still echoed in Palad's mind.

Parad sat blankly on the table, unusually quiet, not playing with his handheld console.

"Success!"

"I finally did it!"

As the audience cheered loudly in the office, holding four cassette tapes, Palad's face showed a hint of weariness and annoyance.

"Are you really that happy with just four cassettes?"

"No, no, no, these are not just four cassette tapes!"

The shrimp dumpling, waving its finger at Palad, said, "This is the future!"

"Hmph, incomprehensible!"

Parad, whose body had been transformed into data and disappeared, left the office, while Shrimp Dumpling sat in front of the computer and began to ponder his plan.

Which Bugster should I choose?

Looking at the prototype cartridge taken out of the safe, Xiajiao's eyes revealed deep thought.

"I don't have much time left, I must hurry up and implement the plan!"

Shrimp Dumpling touched her chest, feeling the weak heartbeat within, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

At the same time, at the entrance of the CatsDog headquarters building.

Red and blue data streams flashed in the air, and Palad's figure emerged from the air without attracting anyone's attention.

Hiding in the corner, Palad watched the large crowds coming and going through the entrance and muttered to himself, "Why did I come here?"
