The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Roar!"

Leo grabbed the front of the truck with his other arm, roared, lifted the several-ton truck, and hurled it away with force.

The truck vanished at the end of the street in an instant, and the fate of the driver inside remained uncertain.

"Roar!!"

Leo roared repeatedly as he diligently searched for the scent of the defeated dragon. Upon catching a faint trace of its scent, he roared again and vanished from the road like a gust of wind.

At the same time.

Tokyo Advanced Materials Research Institute.

Inside a research lab.

"You answered all the test questions correctly, that's great for a newcomer!"

The honest man, holding a folder containing Rabbit's resume, had one hand in his pocket, followed by Nariaki Utsumi and Rabbit, with Rabbit lagging behind.

"Where."

The rabbit, who had just made a modest remark, looked around the research lab. The honest man, noticing a section on his resume, twitched slightly: "But what does that sentence mean in your personal profile?"

The rabbit looked over curiously and saw a line of words he had written.

"He might be a physicist."

"This is because I lost my past memories, so I filled it in like this."

"Amnesia?"

Upon hearing the rabbit's answer, the honest man's expression suddenly changed. But he quickly returned to normal: "Well, amnesia is nothing. Anyway, your main task is to research Pandora's Box."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, the rabbit excitedly grabbed the honest man's sleeve. Under the honest man's piercing gaze, the rabbit sheepishly let go.

"Feel sorry!"

"It's alright. After all, this is a common problem among researchers. I can understand."

Without leaving a trace, the honest man flicked his sleeve, which had been scratched by the rabbit, and continued to show him around. Normally, he didn't need to do these things.

However, the rabbit immediately demonstrated his exceptional talent, and given his hidden purpose, the authorities showed great tolerance towards him.

The group arrived at the protective device that housed Pandora's Box. Rabbit practically pressed himself against it again, even though he could only peek through the narrow gap to observe the inside of Pandora's Box. He was still having a great time.

"This thing was brought back from Mars ten years ago. The mystery of Pandora's Box's existence remains unsolved." The honest man, pointing to the protective device, patted the rabbit on the shoulder: "Perhaps you will be the first person to unravel its mystery. Keep up the good work."

"Your call."

Utsumi Shigeaki respectfully handed the phone to the honest man, who habitually put one hand in his pocket and picked up the phone, saying, "It's me, what's up?"

"I understand, I'll go and confirm!"

As I hung up the phone, a news report came on the television screen next to me.

"Murderer Manjang Ryuga has escaped from the Central Prison in Area C4 today and is currently roaming several areas within the Eastern Capital. We urge all citizens to stay at home and await the capture of the criminal."

As the host announced the news, a photo of the defeated dragon appeared on the television screen, along with a detailed account of his crimes and a video clip, in which a blurry black shadow flashed by.

The rabbit noticed the blurry black shadow and its expression changed. It recognized the shadow's true form and knew what it was.

"Excuse me, I have to leave for a bit!"

After saying goodbye, Rabbit hurriedly left the research institute.

The honest man stared at the rabbit's retreating figure, a surge of immense malice welling up in his eyes.

"Kiryu War Rabbit..."

"Humph!"

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

Dongdu (Eastern Capital)

The area near the Sky Wall.

highway.

Lush reeds grow along one side of the road, their height exceeding that of a person, resembling a green ocean.

"Damn it, where did that monster come from?"

The defeated dragon that had escaped from the reeds had several wounds on its body, and blood was trickling from the corner of its mouth.

"Roar!"

A wild roar was accompanied by the sound of a howling wind.

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, the round, powerful Striker hurtled towards the defeated dragon like a bowling ball being thrown into the air. Seeing the powerful Striker about to ram into its face, the defeated dragon's pupils shrank sharply.

He bent back and made a perfect iron bridge.

"That was close!"

The defeated dragon, lying on the ground, watched as the powerful slammer crashed into the Sky Wall, with most of its body stuck inside.

"call..."

A fierce wind swept in, and Leo's burly figure appeared before the defeated dragon, his crimson eyes reflecting the dragon's image.

"Roar!"

Leo, who was roaring at the defeated dragon, reached out his arm, but just then a series of light bullets flew towards him.

The light bullet landed precisely on Leo. Although it didn't hurt, it successfully drew his attention.

The defeated dragon looked in the direction from which the light blast had come and saw a half-blue, half-red armored knight holding a strange gun, pointing it at Leo.

"What is it this time?"

The transformed rabbit stared at Leo with an extremely unpleasant expression.

"What's with this guy's imposing aura? Why is he different from the other slammers I've seen before?"

Leo touched the spot where the light blast had hit him and roared in fury.

"Oh dear, it seems I've angered this guy!"

The rabbit touched the rabbit-ear-shaped antennae extending from its scalp, its face turning extremely embarrassed.

"Boom!"

With a heavy slam to the ground, Leo charged forward, closing in on the rabbit in the blink of an eye, raising his hand to strike.

"Stop, Leo!"

A deep voice rang out, and in response to the command, Leo stopped his arm, his claws just inches away from the rabbit's visor.

"call..."

The rabbit, too intimidated by Leo's imposing presence to move, took a step back and moved away from him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the defeated dragon quickly ran behind the rabbit.

Although I don't know who this guy is, he doesn't seem like he'll hurt me.

Leo followed the direction of the sound and ran quickly to the person who had given the order. He squatted down next to the person and purred affectionately, nuzzling against their thigh.

"You are..."

Noticing Miko in white armor, the rabbit asked in surprise, while Miko patted Leo's head and laughed, "I'm Faust's executive!"

"Ark!!"

“Ark...”

The shocked rabbit quickly asked, "What is Faust? Who are you people? Do you know about gas masks, human experimentation, and Bat Man?"

"Of course I know, after all, I was one of the people who ordered your transformation!"

"what?"

The rabbit's eyes widened, and just then, black mist appeared around Miku, and a hand grabbed his arm from within the mist.

"Ark, don't do anything unnecessary!"

The fog obscured Miku and Leo's figures. When the rabbit ran over and dispersed the fog, it found nothing.

"damn it!"

The rabbit stomped its foot hard on the ground and let out a sound of regret.

"We finally found a clue..."

"Splash!"

The powerful slammer, who had previously been embedded in the Sky Wall, pulled himself out of the wall and roared as he charged at the rabbit the moment he saw it.

"I'm sick!"

The rabbit let out an angry cry and looked at the attacker, charging forward.

Five minutes later, the rabbit that had defeated the attacker collected its components. After the components were collected, a man dressed in white was revealed.

"Hey, stand up right now!"

The vicious and ruthless dragon grabbed the man and demanded, "Tell me quickly, who exactly are those people?"

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The phone rang with a sound like the hum of a machine, and the rabbit answered the call.

"War Rabbit, there's another Striker by your side!"

"What?" War Rabbit looked around: "I've already defeated the Striker, where is it?"

"I've already sent you the coordinates, take a look yourself."

The rabbit opened the map on its phone, and a large red dot was flashing beside it. At that distance, the dot was the man who reeked of stench.

Murderer - Banjō Ryūga.
