The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Choose!

Chapter 85: Oh my god, Philip has defected to the enemy!

Choose!

"Shoutaro Zuo!"

"Would you choose yourself, or the person who comes?"

In the office, Shotaro, reclining in his boss's chair, was still thinking about Sherad's words, while Miku sat on the table watching him.

The choice Sherrard presented was putting him in a very difficult position. On one hand, there was his hope of continuing to be W, and on the other hand, there was his partner, whom he considered as important as a brother!

Shotaro's hesitation, which had been lingering in his mind, turned into determination. He abruptly stood up and declared, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to save Philip!"

"So...so..."

"So even if it means leaving Philip, I'm willing to do it!"

"What an idiot!"

Upon learning of Shotaro's decision, Miku sighed helplessly, "This is probably the gentleness of a half-baked detective... what a load of rubbish!"

Miku pounced on Shotaro and unleashed a flurry of Meow Meow punches at his face.

"Miku, why did you hit me?"

Miku's outburst caused Shotaro's pent-up emotions to vanish, and he yelled in a frenzy, "Miku, what are you doing? Philip is still at the Ensaki house! I have to go save him!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Miku jumped onto Shotaro's table, scratching his head repeatedly, and said, "There is...there is...there is a way!"

"What method?!"

Upon hearing Miku speak, Shotaro hurriedly stood up. Miku, with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes, said, "Of course..."

................

Inside the dining room of the Ensaki Mansion.

Led by the maid, Philip looked around with a mixture of curiosity and confusion. When he reached the dining table, the old man greeted him with a smile, "Come on, are you awake? Come and eat, the dishes today are quite good!"

"Uh, um!"

Philip hesitated before sitting down in a chair, placing his hands on the table. Ruocai, leaning on the table and resting her chin on her hand, looked at him and said, "The person who came has finally returned home. It probably won't be long before our family members are all gathered together again!"

"Yes, it's been a long time since we've had a family gathering, and we're really looking forward to it!"

The old man and Wakana chatted happily, but Philip had no appetite at all in front of the table full of delicious food.

Both Wakana on the other side and the old man at the front felt very unfamiliar to him!

Compared to this cold, impersonal mansion, the noisy office feels much more like home!

"What's wrong? Doesn't the person have an appetite?" Wakana asked casually, holding her fork. "Are you still thinking about that Shotaro Sasaki?"

"This won't do! Someone come here!"

Seeing that Wakana was about to speak, Philipten stood up, drawing the old man's attention. "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to my room first!"

Philip hurriedly left the restaurant and paced back and forth in the house, followed by a maid with hurried steps.

"Sir, stop wandering around!"

"Please stop immediately!"

In his panic, Philip opened a sky-blue door and slipped inside. The pursuing maid, unaware of this, continued her search down the corridor.

"here it is?"

Upon entering the room, Philip saw that it was filled with cat trees, scratching posts, and cat toys. The most eye-catching item was a cat bed that looked like a castle, placed in the very center.

"Could this be the room that originally belonged to Miku?"

On the carpet, which was covered in cat paw prints, were scattered many cat toys. One particular dog chew, which stood out from the others, caught his attention.

"Could this be...?"

As Philip picked up the dog chew, he naturally recalled the figure kneeling on the ground and roaring to the sky on the Fengdu Expressway Bridge that day.

In the corner, there were some toys that were clearly different from those used by the cat.

"This used to be Miku's room!"

Wakana opened the door, leaned against the doorframe, and said with a wistful look in her eyes, "Those days were really happy!"

"With Miku and I, Miku and Iggy by my side, I'm truly happy!"

"Then why did you become like this, sister?" Philip, still clutching the dog chew, walked excitedly to Wakana and said, "Wouldn't it be better to be the person you were before?"

"Hey, Wakana-neechan!"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't go back!" Wakana grabbed Philip's wrist and forcefully dragged him out of the room. "This is for the noble purpose of the museum!"

The dog chew he was holding fell to the ground as he was being forcibly dragged away. It bounced weakly twice before finally lying down on the carpet.

After dragging Philip to his room, Wakana locked him inside.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Hearing the footsteps fading away outside the door, Philip leaned weakly against the door and collapsed to the ground, staring blankly ahead.

"Shoutaro..."

In the middle of the night, Philip, who had fallen asleep against the door, suddenly opened his eyes. He touched his waist, his dejection vanished, and he stood up with renewed vigor. As a soft whisper blew past his ear like a gentle breeze, Philip walked to the window and picked up a small crumpled piece of paper.

........

The next morning, at the Narumi Detective Agency, Saeko sat expressionlessly on the sofa, a steaming cup of coffee in front of her.

Neither Shotaro nor Akiko wanted to talk to him, and Miku was even less likely to do so.

After Miku brought her back to the agency, he immediately notified Jia Tou Shun to take her away, but today this woman came back on her own!

He arrived without saying a word, just poured himself a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa, quietly watching Akiko and Shotaro in the living room.

"What kind of mischief is this woman up to now?"

Miku, who had been peeking out, glanced at Saeko, then turned over and retreated.

"Whatever, coffee won't kill me!"

At the Yuanzaki Mansion, Philip, rubbing his sleepy eyes, walked to the dining room after waking up early in the morning.

Good morning, sister!

Good morning, Father!

"Oh, good morning, everyone!"

Wakana looked at Philip with suspicion, whose attitude had changed drastically, while the old man greeted Philip in a very normal manner!

"I thought about it for a long time last night. Since I am a member of the Madoka family, why should I go against my sister and father?"

"I'm so glad you understood!"

The old man paused for a moment, his reflection in his brown-tinted glasses catching up with Philip's image, but he quickly smiled and replied.

"Sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Or is there something wrong with me?"

"no!"

Wakana forced a smile and replied, "That's normal!"

"profound!"

"By the way, could you take me shopping for clothes today, sister?"

"I realized I don't have any of my clothes at home, and the clothes I'm wearing now already smell!"

Half-asleep, Philip forced himself to speak: "And what's for breakfast this morning?"

"Breakfast is already on the table this morning!"

Seeing Philip's expression, Wakana looked at him with a somewhat unpleasant expression, unsure of what he was up to.

"Ruocai, since the person has asked, why don't you buy him a few sets of clothes?"

"Good father!"

After glaring at Philip, who was leaning on the table, Wakana quickly finished her breakfast and prepared to leave for work. Before leaving, she instructed the shopper to buy Philip some clothes.

"What is the person who came here really thinking?"

As Wakana got into the car, her expression shifted between light and dark. Philip's sudden change in demeanor gave her a very uneasy feeling.

But soon a smile appeared on Wakana's face, "Whatever your intentions, it won't have any impact anyway!"

"In the end, it's just a tool!"

After Ruocai left, Philip followed the old man to the card room. The old man, who had set up the chessboard, said, "Come on, let's play a game!"

"Yes, Father!"

Neither of the two players spoke. Philip glanced at the old man with a somewhat veiled look of apprehension. The old man's "let him do whatever he wants" attitude left him feeling uneasy.

Knowing that the old man had already seen through his scheme, Philip couldn't help but slack off on the game of chess.

"Snapped!"

The old man, having just placed a piece, chuckled and said, "Someone, checkmate!"

"It's not good to think about other things while playing chess!"

"Alright, let's pack up and play another round!"

"Ok!"

The father and son, each harboring their own ulterior motives, set up the chessboard, their eyes met, and they couldn't help but smile at each other!
