The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Diamond!!"

The diamond energy bottle was inserted, and the rabbit scratched its head: "Maybe it can be done like this!"

Another orange energy bottle was inserted into the groove.

"Gorilla!!"

"Best Match!!!"

"As expected, my judgment was correct."

The guilt she felt for wanting to eliminate Kasumi Ogura was somewhat lessened by the appearance of the new Best Match, and Rabbit immediately turned the joystick.

Are you ready?

"Build Up!!"

"Shining Destroyer!"

GorillaMond!

Yeah!

The rabbit, now in Ape Diamond Mode, touched its forehead: "The law of victory is decided!"

Meanwhile, his eyepiece was frantically analyzing data about Kasumi Ogura.

"Hey, don't hurt her!"

The defeated dragon keenly sensed the rabbit's thoughts and called out to him.

"I'm sorry, Ryuga!"

The rabbit that turns the joystick will maximize the performance of the driver.

"Ready, go!"

With a swing of her left arm, countless streams of shimmering diamonds rushed towards Kasumi Ogura, trapping her within them.

"what!!"

"Vortex Finish!"

Yeah!

The rabbit, taking a step forward, suddenly threw a punch upwards, sending Kasumi Ogura flying into the sky. With the help of the spinning diamond stream, Kasumi Ogura's soul and body separated, leaving behind a weak girl radiating golden light.

"Kasumi!!"

Upon seeing his lover, the defeated dragon rushed over and embraced her, tenderly stroking her face.

Meanwhile, the rabbit on the side was struggling to maintain the spinning diamond stream, within which was also the body of Kasumi Ogura.

"I'm sorry, Ryuga!"

Kasumi Ogura weakly uttered, "You're like this now entirely because of me!"

"Don't say anything, it's okay!"

"No, I have to say it. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, and I won't be able to find peace even in death!"

"I lied to you back then!"

“A man named Nabeshima asked me to introduce you to that scientist’s house to conduct experiments on a new drug, but I never expected it would harm you.”

“I originally wanted you to make a comeback and return to the fighting ring.”

"It's fine!"

"I don't care anymore!"

"Ryugo, hurry up, I can't hold on much longer!"

The rabbit's knees buckled under the increasing pressure.

"If you hadn't met me, perhaps everything would have ended differently!"

"Stop talking!"

The defeated dragon, his forehead pressed against his lover's, had tears welling in his eyes, his mind filled with their most beautiful memories.

Beneath the enormous cherry blossom tree, her smile captivated everyone.

"I'm sorry, Dragon..."

Kasumi Ogura, who wanted to say something more, ultimately didn't raise the cheek that was touching the defeated dragon's face. Her body disintegrated into photons and vanished.

Feeling the sudden light in his arms, the defeated dragon saw this and roared with fury, "Kasumi!!!"

"Oh dear, looks like it's time to find the next victim!"

Upon seeing this, Miku chuckled, turned, and disappeared into the darkness.

Chapter 8: Conflict with the Honest Man!

Dongdu (Eastern Capital)

early morning.

Nascita coffee shop.

We're back!

The rabbit opened the refrigerator door and crawled inside, followed by the defeated dragon, whose eyes were red, clearly still thinking about his lover.

Witnessing your lover disappear in your arms is a painful experience for anyone.

Welcome back!

E had just finished making his bed and was smiling as he put on his little hat. But noticing the change in Long's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him?"

"Shh!"

Rabbit gestured for E to be quiet, but E immediately pulled her aside.

"What exactly happened?"

"Wan Zhang, his lover disappeared last night!"

"What does 'disappeared' mean?"

"From body to soul, everything vanished without a trace. Not even a fragment of clothing remained, let alone the physical body."

The rabbit, its expression turning somber, sighed, "Give him some time, let him recover properly."

"Okay, then I'll go out and get a job!"

"Didn't we have a new source of income yesterday?"

Faced with Rabbit's question, E said with a troubled expression, "Although that money is a lot, we can't keep relying on Miku and the others!"

"Otherwise, it will breed laziness!"

E picked up his helmet, tossed it at the rabbit, and left the underground base on his own.

Inside the cubicle, Misora ​​Ishidou was still asleep.

Seeing this, the rabbit tiptoed to its spot and lay down.

"Last night was truly torturous!"

The defeated dragon found a corner, sat down, hugged his knees, and stared blankly at the floor.

Inside the enormous cat's den, Miku yawned widely, opened his eyes a crack, scanned his surroundings, noticed the defeated dragon's dejected state, and chuckled to himself.

"Tsk, what a devoted young man!"

However, Miku had no intention of meddling in the feelings of the defeated dragon. His current goal was the same as E's: to increase the danger level of both the rabbit and the defeated dragon as much as possible.

However, E always wanted to rely on the power of both to prepare for the future, while Miku, while going with the flow, also wanted to accelerate the growth of the rabbit to plunder the power of his genius form.

Miku lazily crawled out of the cat bed. Iggy was still asleep, snot bubbles hanging from his nose, rising and falling with his breath.

Ignoring Iggy, Miku shook his fur, which became incredibly soft as he shook it.

"Then I should head out too!"

"After all, there are still some experiments to be done!"

Miku walked lightly toward the coffee shop above. The defeated dragon noticed Miku's movements but didn't intend to pay any attention to him.

After pushing open the refrigerator door, Miku crawled out and then closed the door with a lift of its hind legs.

His current appearance is exactly the same as when he lived at the Sonozaki family's house. The golden markings have disappeared, and his pupils have changed from one gold and one red to emerald green.

He jogged away from Nascita coffee shop, randomly chose a side alley and disappeared into Miku. A black mist surged up and enveloped him. When the mist dissipated, he vanished without a trace.

Faust Base.

Even though it's early morning, many lab technicians are already at their posts and working.

Although Faust is an underground dark organization, it has a complete set of operating rules. All the experimenters work in three shifts to ensure that there is someone working in the base at all times.

"laugh...."

Golden-red smoke appeared out of nowhere, and as the smoke appeared, Miku, after transforming, also appeared inside the base.

"Lord Ark!"

Upon seeing Miku appear, the lab technician beside him bowed respectfully in greeting. Miku waved his hand and asked, "Have you prepared the experimental materials I asked you to?"

"We are ready, and the number is now ten!"

"That's good, bring one up!"

Standing before the glass box, Miku stroked it as he lay beneath it. The researchers had already gone to retrieve the experimental materials. Whether his plan would succeed or fail now depended on the success of his design.

If he succeeds, then part of his plan can be implemented smoothly; if not, he will have to risk exposing his identity.

Before long, the experimenters arrived with two armed men, who were supporting an elderly man on either side of them.

His loose skin was covered with age spots, and his sparse hair had turned gray.

"I brought it!"
