The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Noticing the maid's stunned expression, the honest man not only didn't blame her for breaking the vase, but instead gave her a sweet smile and patted her on the shoulder.

"Go for it!!"

"Young Master, the Master has already gone to the official residence. Now all that's left is..."

The butler was also stunned by the honest man's attire. The honest man nodded, grabbed the collar of his denim vest with both hands, and pulled it forward forcefully.

"I see!"

The honest man, who had boarded the car, grabbed the strap of his suspenders inside his clothes. The strap was pulled up and then bounced back.

"Snapped!"

"what!!"

Noticing the driver's gaze, the honest man, captivated, tossed his bangs aside and exclaimed, "This is the kind of beauty that is not accepted by the world!"

Chapter Sixteen: A Deal No One Can Resist!

Ice house.

The honest man, who was showing off in front of his car, didn't notice the driver's clenched fist and struggling eyes.

Every time the driver wanted to raise his fist, he would press it down with his other hand while hypnotizing himself: "No, I can't do it!"

"I also have a wife and children."

"He's the boss, he's the one who pays the salaries!"

"I need the salary from this job to support my family!"

"Smile, no matter what!"

"For my wife and children, I must smile!"

The self-hypnotized driver suppressed the urge to beat the bastard in front of him and forced a smile.

"Please... get in the car!"

The driver, gritting his teeth, opened the car door and waited for the honest man to get in before quickly getting into the driver's seat, starting the car, and taking the honest man to the research institute as fast as possible.

The staff coming and going at the research institute were all dressed in plain clothes and seemed very busy. But the moment the honest man appeared, the area in front of the institute fell silent.

Utsumi Nariaki, who had been informed in advance and was there to greet the honest man, froze at the door. The honest man, holding the suspenders on his shirt, strode forward confidently, looking extremely smug.

Everyone slowly turned their heads as he did so, and the honest man, receiving everyone's attention, secretly rejoiced: "Indeed, my taste is the best in the world; no one can ignore my brilliance!"

"Inland Sea!!"

"what?"

Utsumi Nariaki snapped out of his daze, his lips twitching as he lowered his head, afraid he might lose control and beat up his boss.

What is today's task?

"Today we will be hosting a visiting group from Xidu and Beidu, and showing them around our research institute!"

"Then let's get ready!"

"Yes!"

Following behind the honest man, Utsumi Nariaki glanced at the honest man's exposed hairy legs and subconsciously looked away.

This is so damn offensive!

As the honest man entered the research institute, whispers arose at the entrance.

"Was that really Director Himuro just now?"

"Just look at that beard, it's definitely him!"

"What kind of taste is this? It's so tacky!"

"My eyes, I need eye drops, my eyes!"

"If it weren't for the generous pay here, I would have beaten him up already!"

"Calm down, calm down, you must calm down!"

.......

Inside the research institute, the honest man, dressed in that outfit, swaggered around, flashing what he considered his most charming smile to everyone.

That evening.

The official residence of the Dongdu government.

Himuro Taizan's office.

"Prime Minister, this is the review results for today's casual dress day!"

"Oh?"

Himuro Taizan raised his eyes slightly and put down his work. Dressed in a black kimono, he was old but exuded a kind and gentle aura while subtly revealing a sense of authority.

Taking the review results sheet handed to him by his assistant, Taizan Himuro flipped through it while asking, "Who has the best outfit?"

"It's Kiryu Sento, a researcher at the institute. His steady and stylish attire is not out of touch with the times. Although fashionable, it doesn't make people feel unapproachable. In particular, this researcher's beige trench coat and mismatched shoes have received high praise."

"Ok!"

Upon seeing the rabbit in the photo, Himuro Taizan nodded in satisfaction and said, "He's quite the stylish young man!"

"And what's the worst that could happen?"

"this...."

The assistant hesitated.

"Can't I even mention the worst one?"

"No!" He stopped, lowered his head, glanced at Himuro Taizan, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "The worst one is your son!"

"what?"

Himuro Taizan's eyes widened: "Gentoku, huh?"

"That's right, he got the worst reputation because of his childish and narcissistic behavior, as well as his incredibly tacky clothing."

"and...."

"What else?" Himuro Taizan saw the offensive photo of his son, his breathing became heavy, and veins on his forehead bulged, clearly he was furious.

"Ten percent of the ratings said they couldn't accept it, forty percent said they wanted to curse his clothing and style, and thirty percent wanted to beat him up."

What about the remaining 20%?

"The remaining fifteen percent say that Director Huande... is a pervert!"

"There should still be five-half left!"

Himuro Taizan's math wasn't bad, and he eagerly inquired about the remaining five percent.

"The remaining five percent couldn't accept it and all of them resigned today!"

"what?!"

Himuro Taizan, who nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood, felt his heart tremble. This unfilial son!

That very night, the honest man's private wardrobe was sealed away in the basement by Himuro Taizan. Not only was a talisman used to seal away demons and monsters hung on it, but the honest man was also strictly ordered to wear only a suit or a kimono as his casual clothes from now on.

If he keeps wearing clothes like that, we'll send him to Africa!

"No!!!" The honest man wailed in his room, kneeling on the carpet and clutching the curtains, crying out, "My clothes!!"

The background music "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" plays here: Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls, heaven and earth, a vast expanse of white...

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

Namba Heavy Industries.

Headquarters.

The headquarters of Namba Heavy Industries, though described as the central hub of a huge enterprise, is actually an old house that has stood for many years.

Inside the house, on the edge of the big house.

"clatter!"

In ancient times, it was used to scare away birds and beasts, but now it is used in courtyard landscaping. The monks have just emptied the water from the bamboo pipes and put them back in place, letting the gurgling water flow into the bamboo pipes.

An old man, frail and worn out, sat on the edge of the wall, holding a piece of silk fish cake in his hand and struggling to bite off a piece with his mouth, chewing it slowly.

Behind him stood a dignified and beautiful woman.

“When I was very young, my family was very poor. We could hardly eat anything good all year round, and my biggest wish at that time was to be able to eat sashimi every day.”

Looking at the half-eaten fish-shaped cake in his hand, Namba Juzaburo's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence. "Later, I started my own business, and it was very successful. I fulfilled my childhood dream."

"But I wasn't satisfied, so my business grew bigger and bigger, eventually reaching its current scale!"

"But I still can't be satisfied with the status quo. That's just how people are. They have a lot, but they still want more!"

"Don't you think so, Sawa?"

"I think people need to have dreams. People without dreams to drive them are just walking corpses!"

“You’re absolutely right, so now our new opportunity has arrived!”

After placing the leftover fish-shaped pastries on a plate, Takikawa Sawa immediately picked up the teapot and poured tea for Namba Juzaburo.

"You mean the Kamen Rider from Tokyo?"

Sometimes, even if subordinates know what their superiors are thinking, they still have to pretend to be ignorant, otherwise it will be difficult for them to achieve anything significant.

"That's right. Kamen Rider is the new hope for Namba Heavy Industries. By using the Rider system in war, we can not only control Japan, but the whole world!"

With a smirk, Namba Juzaburo uttered words that would shock anyone, while Takikawa Sawa pretended not to see anything, keeping her eyes down.

"So I'll have to trouble you!"

"Please keep an eye on that area for me!" Namba Juzaburo took a sip of tea and exhaled a comfortable breath. Takikawa Sawa immediately bowed her head and said, "I will certainly not let you down!"

"Everything is for Namba Heavy Industries!!!"
