The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The little angel's mother coughed, her breathing becoming labored. After a few difficult breaths, she continued, "Take good care of the house!"

"Your father is away from home most of the year, don't resent him. After I'm gone, you have to support the family!"

"so...."

The little angel's mother raised her arm, wanting to stroke his hair.

"I won't worry anymore!"

Her hand was still a few centimeters from the little angel's head, but the little angel's mother could no longer continue. A trace of regret appeared in the little angel's mother's eyes as her body began to disintegrate.

"I really want to see your wedding..."

The little angel's mother, whose body had completely collapsed, disappeared from the hospital bed, and the thin blanket slumped down.

The little angel, feeling her mother's warmth disappear in her palm, raised her head, looked at the empty bed, and let out a shrill wail.

"Do not!!!"

"Mother!!!"

Poppy stood behind the little angel, watching his utter despair. Her expression was complex, and she didn't know what to say. She approached the little angel, hugged him from behind, and pressed his head against her chest.

Parad, inside the little angel's body, witnessed this entire scene through the little angel's senses. Feeling a tightness in his chest, he murmured to himself, "This is..."

"Death...?"

Chapter 74: Don't try to resist me!

Genm Games Company, rooftop terrace.

"Shh!"

With a whooshing sound, Miku, wearing a star-patterned cloak, leaped out of the air carrying Old Tan.

Without any politeness, Miku flicked his wrist, slamming Old Tan to the ground. He snorted coldly, "Tan Masamune, I need an explanation!"

"Explanation? What explanation?"

Old Tan sat on the ground with an extremely straightforward attitude, spreading his hands at Miku: "You are my boss, my commander, how dare I disobey your orders?"

"That's very well said!"

Miku sneered as he stroked the intricate patterns on the cloak he was wearing.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

Old Dan, still in his transformed state, walked past Miku, appearing calm and composed, but in reality, he was secretly on guard.

After Lao Tan missed Miku, he headed towards the rooftop gate.

Miku's lack of action relieved Old Tan. He had never been able to see through Miku's strength, which made him extremely wary of him.

"Shh!"

Old Tan, who was about to walk into the stairwell, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find himself sitting not far from Miku. The moment he and Miku passed each other was like a figment of his imagination.

Miku, who was watching Old Tan with a mocking gaze, continued to slowly stroke the patterns on his cloak. Old Tan, seeing Miku's all-too-familiar gesture, carefully stood up and then passed by Miku.

Just as he stepped into the entrance of the rooftop building, his vision blurred again, and he found himself back at the starting point, moving in the same manner as before.

Miku's eyes remained incredibly mocking, and his movements were still as nonchalant as ever.

"I'm back again?"

Old Tan stared at Miku in utter shock, his fear deepening.

Looking at the rooftop staircase behind Miku, Lao Tan gritted his teeth and tried for the third time.

"Shh!"

The third return to the starting point.

He got up for the fourth time.

"Shh!"

The fourth return to the starting point.

"I don't believe it anymore!"

Old Tan got up for the fifth time.

"Shh!"

The fifth return to the starting point.

The sixth time.

The seventh time.

The eighth time.

.......

The thirty-second time.

"asshole!"

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Old Tan felt extremely humiliated. He roared, "What exactly do you want?"

"I need an explanation!"

The cat, speaking in a nonchalant tone, stood still, its fingertips slowly stroking the patterns on the cloak.

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"

"An explanation for your unauthorized actions!"

"Unauthorized action?"

"Haven't I been under your surveillance the whole time?"

Is that really the case?

Miku slightly raised her chin. "Then what was your reason for telling Hojo Emu that he was a first-generation Infected without your permission?"

"You, explain yourself!"

"I..." Old Tan choked on his words, but then he stubbornly insisted, "I just wanted to add some new fun to your game!"

"Don't try to justify yourself!"

Miku waved his hand: "Do you want me to tell you the real reason?"

Under Miku's mocking gaze, Old Tan suddenly stood up. "I've had enough of your fooling and manipulation!"

A giant green clock appeared behind Lao Tan, the green game area instantly expanded, the sky turned pitch black, and the thick night covered everything.

"Are you trying to rebel against me?"

"Dan Masamune!"

"Rebel against you?" Old Tan laughed. "I'm here to put you to trial!"

He pressed down on the "A" and "B" keys with both hands and used Pause, freezing time within the game world and making everything stand still.

"Humph!"

Looking at the motionless Miku, Old Tan snorted angrily.

"Now, let's see if you can still pull those tricks!"

Old Dan slowly walked towards Miku, took the driver from his waist, and fastened it to the knuckles of the EXP handle on his right hand.

"Gacchan!!"

"Now I'll make you pay the price!"

Two flashes of fire suddenly appeared in the old man's glasses as he slowly raised the chainsaw at Miku. The source of the fire was none other than Miku's eyes.

The flames dancing in Miku's eyes were incredibly intense, appearing utterly out of place in this frozen time.

"Shh!"

As Lao Tan swiftly retreated, he sensed something was wrong. Staring intently at Miku, he felt as if he had crashed into an extremely hard and thick wall.

Turning his head, Old Tan was terrified when he saw what was behind him.

Miku, who should have been frozen in time, appeared behind him at some point.

"Damn it, he's not...."

As soon as he turned around, Old Tan's eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank. Miku, who should have been behind him, had moved again and reappeared in front of him.

"What exactly is going on?"

Old Tan subconsciously took a step back and felt another wall blocking his way.

"this......"

Old Tan and Miku slowly turned their heads and looked at each other.

"What exactly happened?"

Old Tan, drenched in cold sweat, dared not move any further. The opponent's methods were truly terrifying, especially since Miku could move freely within the game realm where time was frozen, without him even noticing.

"Gudu!"

Swallowing hard, Old Tan inadvertently noticed that his hands were trembling, and the driver fixed to the knuckles of the EXP grip was also making a clicking sound.

"Snapped!"

Old Tan, clutching his right wrist, looked extremely pale, and the apprehension in his eyes slowly turned into deep fear.

"You bastard, who are you?!"

In despair, he roared at Miku, who did not answer. Instead, the firelight that flickered in Miku's eyes underwent a new change.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The firelight began to change color to a reddish-gold, just like the sun in the sky, making it impossible and unbearable to look directly at it.

Those who dare to look directly at the sun will surely be punished by the sun.
