The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The rabbit screamed and fell off the bed. The defeated dragon in the hall looked at the rabbit in confusion. The rabbit, with messy hair, got up from the floor, still wrapped in a thin blanket.

"Buzz... Ding!!"

After the purification machine designed and manufactured by the rabbit made a crisp sound, it automatically popped open, revealing a purification chamber resembling a microwave oven, from which white mist swirled and overflowed.

A blue energy bottle rests quietly inside.

"Has the purification of the new energy bottle been completed?"

Ignoring his strange dream, the rabbit got up from the ground and ran quickly to the purifier. As soon as he got to the purifier, he saw the door of the purification chamber where Misora ​​Ishido was sliding open to this side.

"so tired!"

"I really want the reward!"

"I really want to rest!"

With sleepy eyes, Misora ​​Ishidou walked out of the purification room and staggered toward her bed. Her movements were stiff and unsteady, making her look like a zombie.

"Is this energy bottle made of a dragon?"

"My dragon... well."

Ignoring Misora ​​Isurugi, the rabbit grabbed the energy bottle containing the purified components extracted from the defeated dragon lover, Kasumi Ogura.

The rabbit glanced at the defeated dragon huddled in the corner and sighed, "There's just no way to deal with this muscle-bound idiot!"

The rabbit, who was playing with the energy bottle in its hand, came up to the defeated dragon and handed him the bottle: "Here, this is yours!"

"Ok?"

With bloodshot eyes, the defeated dragon looked up in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"This energy bottle was obtained by purifying the components extracted from your lover, so I believe that only you are capable of possessing it!"

"This can be considered your lover's last moment of companionship!"

The defeated dragon, his eyes bloodshot, tremblingly picked up the dragon bottle from the rabbit's hand, stroking the patterns on its surface, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Xiang Cheng...."

Seeing the dragon's frustrated expression, the rabbit sighed helplessly, "What a worrying idiot!"

"But we can't just ignore it!"

"Ok?"

The defeated dragon looked at the rabbit, who patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your lover has left you forever, so there's no use in you wallowing in grief!"

Instead of lamenting and reminiscing here, why not take action yourself to find the mastermind behind it all and avenge your lover!

"Besides, you haven't cleared your name yet; you're still a fugitive. Can you really bear to carry the stigma of being a criminal and let your girlfriend's spirit in heaven forever remember you?"

"Or is it that you've devoted all your nutrients to your pectoral muscles, while your brain has degenerated pitifully?"

"Whose brain is degenerating?"

The dragon, provoked by the rabbit, stood up from the ground, but before he could even stand properly, he knelt down again.

"Uh..." The rabbit and the defeated dragon stared at each other, the rabbit scratching its head: "No matter how grateful you are to me, you don't need to give such a big bow, do you?"

"Who's kneeling before you? My legs are numb, I can't stand up, help me up!"

The dragon, annoyed at being thwarted, stretched out its hand towards the rabbit, while its other hand tightly gripped the dragon bottle.

The rabbit was slightly taken aback when it saw the defeated dragon's expression, but then it burst out laughing and grabbed the dragon's hand.

"Good good!"

"However, I don't have any red envelopes for you!"

"I already told you, my legs went numb and I lost my balance!"

"Good good!"

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

Faust Base.

Experimental hall.

"Awaited!"

Miku, carrying three suitcases, slid down the stair railing. E and Honest Man were waiting for him there.

"That's so slow, Ark!"

E, who had his arms outstretched towards Miku, burst into laughter. Miku, annoyed, tossed a box to him.

"Alright, stop pretending with me, your Genesis System!"

Stroking the red box, E opened it with a swipe. Inside lay a Genesis System, completely different in color from Miku's Genesis Driver. Its main color was blood red, with speckled gold and silver star-like markings.

"How beautiful!"

E grabbed the Genesis System and fastened it to his left arm. Miku had said that although the energy bottle used by the Genesis System was not compatible with the Transformation Smoke System, it could be used while the Transformation Smoke System was in a transformed state.

"This is yours, Himuro Gentoku!"

"Humph!"

The honest man snorted and grabbed his box. He opened it and found a blue and white Genesis System with cracks and markings.

"This color..."

The honest man who grabbed the Genesis system turned around and equipped it in his left hand.

"You really are all talk and no action!" Miku scoffed mercilessly. "Speaking of which, what did you put in the third suitcase?" E asked curiously, noticing the third suitcase. Miku didn't mince words and opened it, revealing its contents.

Inside was a flip phone, its surface coating resembling dark lava, a dark red with a hint of scorching yellow.

"what is this?"

"This is the Knight System I created. Although it's still in testing, I think it's about time to release it!"

"Knight System?"

The honest man was startled upon hearing this, "Besides Katsuragi Takumi, you can also create a knight system?"

“Why not?” Miku chuckled, closing the box before the honest man could reach for his flip phone. “I never said I couldn’t create a knight system!”

"Have you chosen a candidate for this Knight System?"

“I already have one, and that kid is my preferred test candidate!” Miku chuckled as he walked to the glass box. “But before that, I’d like to build a Slammer to play with first. What do you guys think?”

.......

Nascita coffee shop.

Underground base.

"War Rabbit, I'm here!"

Takikawa Sawa ran excitedly into the hall. Seeing this, Rabbit quickly dropped the marker in his hand and walked towards Takikawa Sawa with a sigh of relief.

Before Takikawa Sawa arrived, he tried to explain the connection between the recent events to the defeated Ryu, but the muscle-bound idiot couldn't understand at all. Even after he explained it to him over and over again, breaking it down and dissecting it, he still couldn't understand.

It's utterly disheartening for physicists.

"Sawa, you've come at the right time. I need your help investigating someone!"

"Hmm..." Takikawa Sawa bit her lip and blinked, "Okay!"

"But I need firsthand information about Kamen Rider!" Takikawa Sawa pulled out a camera from her person, looking exactly like a little fox who had caught a chicken.

"All right!"

The rabbit, scratching its head in exasperation, shrugged and held out its hand to Takikawa Sawa: "Then it's a deal?"

"make a deal!"

Holding the rabbit's hand, Takikawa Sawa nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Beep beep beep..." Just then, the computer not far away emitted a series of beeps. The rabbit's expression changed when it heard the sound.

"A Slammer has appeared!"

"Huh?" The defeated dragon was very confused. This guy had been with him the whole time. How did he know that the Striker had appeared?

"How did you know?"

"Science, of course!"

"Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand!"

The rabbit, who had tossed a banana to the defeated dragon, grabbed its helmet and headed out.

The defeated dragon stared blankly at the banana in its hand, then realized what was happening after a moment. "Who are you calling a stupid gorilla?!"

The defeated dragon quickly followed the rabbit and left the underground base. Takikawa Sawa glanced at Ishido Misora, who was sleeping, and took out her camera to start taking pictures of the interior of the underground base.

Ten minutes later.

Area E.

The rabbit, upon arriving, saw a flying striker soaring through the air, its arms transformed into wing-like blades, and a crescent-shaped scimitar growing from its head.

"This time it can fly! That's really interesting!"

"Rabbit!"

"Tank!!"

"Transform!"

The rabbit, transformed into Rabbit Tank, charged towards the Flying Striker, while a child watched the Flying Striker crying nearby.

The defeated dragon picked up the child and ran away, while the child watched the attacker fly towards him and cried out in anguish.

But before the defeated dragon could run far, a figure blocked his way.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it too cruel to take someone else's child away without permission!"

"Ark!"

Upon seeing Miku, the defeated dragon roared angrily, put down his child, and charged at Miku, shaking the bottle. Facing the dragon bottle activated by the borrowed ingredients, the defeated dragon unleashed power far exceeding that of before, but it was still no match for Miku.

Miku reached out and grabbed the wrist of the defeated dragon, twisting it and knocking him to the ground.
