The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"CatsDog's technology is like a feast for me that I can only look at but not eat; just looking at it makes me want to keep going!"

A look of drooling appeared on Shrimp Dumpling's face, and the little angel asked directly, "So what have you figured out?"

"My research was only halfway done when that bastard Gaia killed me. I can only say that I lost both my wife and my army!"

Shrimp Dumpling, who had helplessly spread his hands, suddenly changed his expression: "But I discovered the secret of why CatsDog's knights are so powerful through some of the data I obtained from researching the Awakening Device!"

"Gudu!"

Poppy swallowed hard and pressed on, "What is it?"

"That's the secret to accumulating experience points through continuous battles and converting those experience points into energy to level up!"

"Moreover, the awakening cards they used also contained many secrets. It's just a pity that Gaia arrived too quickly and I didn't have enough time to fully analyze them."

"It's just general data analysis, which is enough for me!"

"You mean..." A hint of understanding appeared in the little angel's eyes, and Shrimp Dumpling smiled and said, "My idea is actually very simple. By combining the Awakening Device data of CatsDog that I obtained with my talent, I can create the strongest Gacha for Emu!"

"The strongest cartridge..."

Little Angel and Poppy exchanged a glance, and Shrimp Dumpling stood up from his chair. "That's right, the strongest cartridge ever! No matter how many levels CatsDog's knights can be raised to with the Awakening Device, the cartridge I created can help you defeat them!"

"Because my cassette tape brings you..." Shrimp Dumpling's voice rose to a fever pitch: "...Invincible power!!!"

"Invincible power..."

The little angel's eyes shone with longing, and Shrimp Dumpling nodded: "That's right, whether it's Kamen Rider Cronus, Gamedeus, or the riders of CatsDog, none of them are your match."

"If you can defeat them all, you will be the only one to clear the game!"

"The only one to clear the game... huh!"

A hint of confusion appeared in the little angel's eyes. From his initial enthusiasm to the loss of loved ones and betrayal by friends, he felt a sense of bewilderment he had never experienced before.

CatsDog.

Top floor office.

"Shh!"

The car, seemingly emerging from thin air, casually sat on the cat tree in the lobby, but before it could even settle in, several pairs of eyes shot over from the side.

Noticing the stares, Cheche turned his head and saw four red-furred kittens glaring at him fiercely, as if they were about to scratch him at any moment.

I advise you to stay away from there!

Behind her desk, Serena admired her freshly painted nails while warning Cheche.

CarCar awkwardly stood up from the cat tree and gave the four little ones an apologetic smile. The eldest of the four snorted and led his three younger siblings down the cat tree with an air of superiority.

Where's the boss?

"That guy should be in his lab!"

As soon as Serena said this, an oil painting on one side of the wall rose up, the wall cracked open, and Miku walked out from it.

"Kujou, have you finished your work?"

"It's done, Boss."

Cheche approached the desk, and when she saw Miku arrive, Serena, who had made way for Miku, waited for him to sit down before casually lying down in his lap.

Miku, somewhat stunned, looked at the eternally young girl in his arms, but Serena showed no shyness whatsoever. Instead, she leaned confidently against Miku's chest and continued admiring her nail polish.

Seeing this, before Miku could even react, Serena took the initiative to put her arm around his waist.

Do you think this color looks good?

"good!"

Miku glanced at the bright red nail polish and spoke casually. Cheche, sitting at the desk, coughed, drawing Miku's attention.

"Kujo, is there anything else?"

"Jing Feicai went to see his lover. He asked me to inquire if he has any work coming up."

"The next task!" Miku pondered, trying to pull his arm away from Serena's waist, but Serena held on tightly.

“The war to reclaim lives isn’t over yet. You two take this.” Miku tossed two life cards to Cheche: “The location of the checkpoint and other matters will be announced separately.”

"Is this a cartridge containing life data?"

Cheche examined the cassette tapes with great interest, but Miku shook his head: "No, you'll find out what these two cassette tapes are for when you start working!"

"Are you going to keep me in suspense?"

Cheche chuckled and put away the cassette tape.

"Now let's talk about my compensation!" Cheche sat down at the desk, took a cigar from Miku's small drawer, and sniffed it.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Miku's eyes. "You've only just started working, and you're already eager for payment?"

"One favor, one reward!"

CarCar, holding up a finger, said earnestly, "I helped you defeat Hojo Emu, so I deserve a reward." Miku stared at him for a long time: "Speak!"

"Then I'll have to ask them properly!"

Cheche chuckled and continued playing with Miku's cigar. Miku wasn't in a hurry and waited for his question.

After a moment, Cheche slowly said, "Boss, what exactly do you want to achieve by organizing these games?"

"Just this?"

"That's right, I'm very curious about this. I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me, Boss. Otherwise, it's quite unsettling for me to keep this question on my mind!"

"Or is it hard to answer?"

“It’s nothing!” Miku said frankly. “The reason I organized this game is actually very simple: I just wanted to find an opponent!”

"The players who can compete against me are too weak right now."

"But what if it doesn't appear?"

"This is already the second problem!"

Cheche smiled nonchalantly: "But I don't think I got a satisfactory answer to my first question!"

"What a troublesome fellow!"

Miku held Serena close, his fingers gently caressing her waist.

"You won't be unable to find it!"

"Human potential is limitless. I believe in human potential, so it will definitely happen!"

"An opponent who can fight alongside me!"

Chapter 87: Fishing with Bait

"An opponent who can fight alongside me...!"

When Miku said those words, his eyes revealed loneliness and solitude.

"I never expected that this was your plan!"

Cheche showed an expression of admiration at the right moment, and Miku waved his hand: "Alright, go to work!"

"Then I'll be leaving now!"

The car took two steps back, transformed into data, and disappeared into the air.

“This young man is plotting against you.” Serena lay on Miku’s chest, her fingers gently caressing Miku’s chest, especially around the golden gem.

Miku is not the same as before. His body is covered with crisscrossing scars, which are proof of his battles. Sometimes, even when he is not injured, various scars will appear on his body.

Just like the growth rings inside an old tree.

"Well, he's scheming against me, but I'm scheming against him too!" Miku sneered. "Even though I resurrected Kujo Kiriya, his mind is entirely focused on Hojo Emu of CR. The only reason he's willing to obey me now is to gather information!"

"Then why are you still keeping him by your side?!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Serena's eyes: "Should I...?"

"no need!"

Miku, who gave Serena a tight hug, revealed a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "If he wants to find out, let him find out."

"It just so happens that I also want to use his mouth to spread some news."

"You're becoming more and more difficult to understand!"

Serena stretched languidly, then nestled limply in Miku's arms. Her head was tilted back, her long hair cascading down, and she raised her arms to stroke Miku's face.

She gently stroked the revered patterns on the golden mask with her fingertips.

"Hey, Miku!"

"Ok?"

"Give me a child!"

As soon as she said this, Serena felt a sudden emptiness beneath her as she slumped into her office chair, while Miku, who had been holding her in his arms, had vanished.

"You stinky man!"

Serena spat and hugged her knees to her office chair.

Staring blankly at the photo on the table, I was lost in thought. The photo showed three cats, with the largest, Miku, in the center, and Miko and Little Cutie on either side.

The two kittens rubbed against Miku affectionately. Miku looked up at the sky with a somewhat helpless expression, but upon closer inspection, a trace of affection was still revealed in his eyes.

"When will I be able to have my own child?!"

She flicked her finger, and the picture frame fell over, landing squarely on one side of the photograph.

"Instead of having other people's children call me 'Mom'..."
