The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Miku, who had put the cassette tape aside, didn't dwell on the matter but instead asked about Miko and Minnie.

"Nini?"

Miko was clearly taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's great!"

"But why do I always hear that you're avoiding Nini?"

Miku, his eyes flashing with cold light, stared directly at his son. Miku sank back into the black mud, scratching his temple with a paw and awkwardly laughing, "Where did you hear that nonsense, Dad!"

"I said it!"

The adorable little cat, perched on the cat tree, looked down at its cowardly older brother with a mocking sneer.

"Xiao Ai?!"

Miko, shivering, slowly turned his head. Miku had appeared in front of him at some point, squatting on the ground, tilting his head slightly and looking down at him.

"Dad..."

"Stinky boy!"

Miku, who had just pulled Miko out of the mud, slapped him mercilessly on the buttocks.

"Aww..."

A piercing scream came from the office. Iggy, who was leading his daughter and son, had a plastic bag in his mouth containing various snacks.

"Awoo?"

With his head tilted to the side, Iggy opened his mouth, gently placed the plastic bag on the ground, and then turned to look at his eldest son with ill intent.

"Huh?"

The older boy shuffled backward on the floor. "Dad, what are you trying to do?"

What kind of look is that?

Don't come here! !

........

CR.

"Wow!"

The little angel, who had abruptly thrown back the covers and sat up, was covered in cold sweat. Poppy, who had been waiting beside her, wiped his eyes and forced a smile, saying, "You're back!?"

"Poppy?"

The little angel looked at Poppy, then at his own hands, and touched his waist, dejectedly saying, "Looks like I've been resurrected!"

"Yes, you were the last one!"

"What about the others?"

The little angel, who had climbed out of his hospital bed, pressed on, "Where are Kiriya and Hiiro?"

What happened in the end of the game?

Where is the patient?

Did we win?

After a barrage of questions, Poppy revealed a hint of sadness: "We lost, Emu!"

"We lost..."

The little angel, slumped on the hospital bed, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "So that means the patient is dead?"

"Not only that, the portal suddenly exploded, causing a widespread virus outbreak, and both Hyuga, the deliberative councilor, and Dean Kagami were..."

"Disappeared."

"Pfft!"

The little angel, who collapsed directly from the hospital bed, curled up and said in pain and helplessness, "Has everyone been wiped out by the game disease?"

"Ok!"

"Kiriya left, saying he was going to investigate something, while Hiiro locked himself up and didn't come out."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. In the end, I still didn't accomplish anything!"

"damn it!"

The little angel slammed his fist on the floor and wailed, "Damn it!!"

"damn it!"

"Eternal Dream..."

Poppy stared blankly at the little angel, feeling heartbroken and saddened to see him like this.

Do you crave power?

Like the whisper of a demon, the little angel heard this call.

"strength?"

"The power to overcome everything!"

The whispers that tempted people to evil directly affected the little angel's mind, and the little angel, whose eyes were filled with confusion, stood up unsteadily.

I need power!

"I need the power to overcome everything!"

The little angel, talking to himself, staggered away from CR. Poppy watched his retreating figure anxiously: "Emu!"

"what happened to you?"

Ignoring Poppy, the little angel took the elevator straight to the rooftop.

Poppy, who missed the elevator, gritted his teeth and disappeared into CR, using Bugster's abilities to follow the elevator to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, a knight in azure armor leaned against his long sword and brought a shakuhachi to his lips to play.

The melodious notes drifted into the void, guiding a being yearning for power to this place.

In the void beside the azure knight, an impatient Palad squatted on the ground, propping his face up with his palm and curling his lips in disdain.

He was having a great time in the game world when this guy dragged him here without his permission.

"Tap tap tap tap..."

Weak, feeble footsteps approached, and Palad instinctively turned around, his eyes lighting up with surprise.

“M?”

Upon seeing the little angel approach him, Miku stopped playing, and the seductive whispers that had been enticeing the little angel vanished without a trace.

"Eternal Dream!"

Poppy, looking wary, appeared out of thin air and stood protectively in front of the little angel.

"Long time no see, little doctor!"

Miku, having put away his shakuhachi, greeted the little angel. The little angel shuddered, and a clear look appeared in his eyes.

"here it is..."

Noticing Miku, he immediately asked warily, "It's you?"

"correct."

What brings you here today?

"I've just come to return something to you!"

Miku, who had taken out two cartridges, looked at the little angel with a smile. He left his long sword behind and walked towards the little angel with the two cartridges in his hand.

I'm so sorry my child has caused you trouble!

"Your child..."

The little angel broke out in a cold sweat as she recalled the invincible Miko and the memory of being cut in half by her opponent.

"You're that guy's..."

"That little guy is my son, isn't he amazing!"

"He killed someone!"

“My family’s parenting style is a little different from other families, and I hope you can understand.” Miku stood in front of the little angel and handed over the two cassette tapes in his hand.

"What kind of family can raise a child who can kill like a madman?"

The little angel completely ignored the cartridge and instead roared at Miku. Miku stroked his chin: "Why are you so hostile towards me!"

"It seems I don't need to be polite anymore!"

"What do you want to do?" Poppy asked fiercely, looking exactly like a kitten baring its teeth at a tiger.

"Little girl, don't make me laugh!"

Miku waved Poppy aside, then took out the little angel's driver and fastened it to his waist.

What did you do?

The little angel, unable to move, glared angrily. Miku shrugged: "I didn't do anything. You can't move just because you're scared!"

"Now, let's do an experiment!"

Parad, trembling in the void, watched Miku's retreating figure, experiencing the same fear he had felt before.

"Mighty Action X!"

The same beeping sounded repeatedly, and Miku directly inserted the Mighty Action X prototype cartridge and the cartridge that the little angel was currently using into the little angel's waist driver.

Now, give me a surprise!

“Gacchan!”
