The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Its artistic value has been halved!"

Looking at the wailing rabbit and E, the defeated dragon felt a strange urge to laugh, and then burst into laughter.

So he did it.

"Hahaha......"

"You've finally met your match!"

"Weren't you guys happy when I was stripped naked last time?"

As the defeated dragon laughed wildly, drawing sidelong glances from E and the rabbit, Iggy's snot bubble suddenly burst open.

Ishido Misora, who was fast asleep in bed, opened her eyes, which were filled with murderous intent.

"A ten-thousand-foot-long dragon! Me!"

Speak slowly and deliberately, her hair fluttering even without wind, the girl, her face filled with murderous intent, stared intently at the defeated dragon: "I want..."

"I'll kill you!!"

"Wang!"

Iggy's roar also came from behind him. He looked down at Iggy and then up at Misora ​​Ishido.

The defeated dragon gave a bitter smile: "Can you please stop slapping me in the face?"

.....

Ten minutes later, the humiliated dragon, stripped naked and bound in a turtle shell style, was dropped onto the beams of the underground base. The tear stains on the dragon's eyes, with its mouth gagged by a rope, had not yet disappeared.

Sitting in a chair, Misora ​​Ishidou crossed her legs and smiled as she stared at the defeated dragon, while Iggy squatted to the side, his morning grumpiness still lingering, yawning frequently.

"Misora, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Mr. E, who was handing coffee to his daughter, picked up a fan and fanned her gently: "Is there any little dress you'd like?"

"Dad will buy it for you!"

E, looking every bit the doting father, smiled obsequiously, while Rabbit reassembled the flip phone from the Battle Driver.

"I've found news about Nabeshima..."

Takigawa Sawa excitedly walked into the hall with a stack of photos, only to see Banjou Ryuga bound in a tortoise shell.

Did I miss something?

"nothing!"

After closing the bottom cover tightly, the rabbit approached Sawa Takikawa and took the stack of photos.

"It's just that some muscle-bound idiot got too cocky and got what he deserved!"

The rabbit glanced at the defeated dragon and offered a gloating explanation. Takikawa Sawa nodded, staring thoughtfully at the defeated dragon as she took out her camera and adjusted the focus on it.

"A photo of former fighter Banjo Ryuga in his tortoise shell binding... I have a feeling this could be a big business opportunity!"

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing Takikawa Sawa practicing taking pictures of him, the frustrated Ryuu twisted his body in mid-air in annoyance.

Rabbit, meanwhile, was looking at the information about Nabeshima that Takikawa Sawa had found. The man in the photo, with his round head and fleshy face, had an unfriendly look in his eyes.

"It seems that the key to breaking this deadlock lies with this man!"

The rabbit, talking to itself, had no idea that its every move was being watched by Faust. While E was massaging his daughter, he glanced at the rabbit seemingly unintentionally, while Miku climbed onto Iggy's head, staring intently at the rabbit with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Okay, let's investigate this man named Nabeshima next!"

The rabbit, while tidying up, didn't forget to put the defeated dragon down from the beam. After the defeated dragon finished tidying up, the two quickly went out.

Seeing this, E shrugged helplessly and casually added, "Take care on your journey!!"

"Oh!"

The sound of a rabbit could be heard from afar, followed by the faint roar of an engine.

Miku slid from Iggy's head to his back and patted his head. Iggy howled reluctantly, but still obediently led Miku up the stairs from the underground base.

"Is Miku going for a walk again?"

"Meow!"

"Didn't you just get back?"

"Meow!!"

"Alright, remember to come home early tonight, we're having a big meal!"

After giving Miku a long lecture, E sighed, "None of them are giving me a moment's peace!"

"Cough cough!"

Ishidou Misora ​​coughed, and E immediately began to massage his daughter's shoulders, though his eyes kept glancing at the gold and green bracelet on Ishidou Misora's wrist.

........

On the way to Nabeshima.

"Hey, can that guy Nabeshima really prove that I'm innocent?"

"Didn't you see the photos?" The rabbit wearing a helmet spoke in a muffled voice, recalling how he had been attacked by Nabeshima in prison.

"That guy had better tell the truth, or else..." He touched the flip phone in his pocket, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

"We have to make him tell us!"

Meanwhile, Miku in his freak form is fastening a belt around Iggy's back.

"Behave yourself and don't move!"

"Wang..."

"I know, but you'll have to make an exception this time. It's time for you to show your face!"

"The last time you showed your face was four years ago!"

"Woof woof..." Iggy wagged its tail, not wanting to put on the belt, while Miku punched the dog on the head: "Behave yourself!"

Under Miku's piercing gaze, Iggy had no choice but to submit, lying on the ground and letting Miku tie his belt.

The belt around Iggy's waist is not a regular driver, but an old-fashioned driver with a belt, similar to Faiz's driver.

"Crack!"

After the buckles engaged, Miku took out a bone-white energy bottle, shook it vigorously, screwed the cap on, and then inserted it into the driver on Iggy's back.

"Undead!!"

Chapter Thirteen: Lie Down Obediently

Miku retrieved the bone-white energy bottle from the void. The bottle appeared to be made of bones, and the cap protecting its contents was shaped like a wolf's head. The upper half of the bottle had a wolf's head mark in the shape of a strange human, while the lower half had wolf fangs that were snapped together.

"It's time for you to step in, partner!"

Miku supported the driver on Iggy's back. The driver was similar to the Accumulator Driver, but the built-in slot for inserting the energy bottle was upright.

"Crack!"

Miku, having screwed the cap on, positioned the bottle cap downwards, while the fangs at the end of the bottle automatically separated after the cap was screwed on.

"Undead!!"

The bone-white energy bottle was inserted into the upright groove, and a low, hoarse chant followed.

"Snapped!"

Miku casually pressed down the raised groove, revealing a pull ring at the other end of the driver. Miku grabbed the pull ring, raised his foot and stepped on Iggy's buttocks, forcefully pulling the pull ring. A long, crystalline thread was pulled out of the pull ring by Miku. After the thread was pulled out, a huge roaring sound, like a chainsaw starting up, came from inside the driver.

"Rumble..."

"Transform!"

Miku, who shouted "Transform!", released the pull ring, took two steps back, and the pull ring returned to the side of the driver.

"Bone!"

"Bone!!"

"Bone!!!"

A hoarse chirping sound rang out, growing louder and louder. Several skeletal arms extended from the driver on Iggy's back, supporting Iggy on the ground. With his limbs dangling in mid-air, Iggy glanced at Miku, sighed, and then closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, his sky-blue pupils suddenly turned amber.

"Awooo!!!"

With a long howl, Iggy struck a pose reminiscent of a wolf king howling at the moon. The arm bones of several skeletal arms suddenly expanded, forming a bone cage. As soon as the bone cage was created, a light rain of bone began to fall from within it. The raindrops landed on Iggy's body, solidifying him into a bone sculpture.

And that wasn't enough; the raindrops of bones grew even larger.

"Immortal Wolf!!"

Iggy was solidified by the raindrops of bones into a giant ball of bones.

"Forever! Undying!!!"

"Crack!"

Cracks appeared on the surface of the skeletal sphere, and the cracks expanded rapidly, resembling a spider web.

"Oh!"

Within the shattered skeletal sphere stood a knight, his entire body a ghastly white, his amber-colored spectacles filled with rage.

"Ow!"

With a roar, Iggy grabbed the bars and tore the bars of the bone prison to shreds.

"Roar!!"

The moment the prison was shattered, a hoarse laugh echoed in the air.

“Hiahahahahah!!!”
