"Thank you, grocer's maid.
"Oh, my God, you're my sister, you're so cute. Here's an extra one for you, take it!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
　When you call a woman, it is better to call her sister.
　It's worth remembering.

"Yes, thank you. Here's your change.

　That's your change." That's when she was about to hand over the change.
　--"Deadly.
　It's a good thing I'm not the only one.

"Ranga-sama!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
　The figure leaps over the building with its long arms and legs, and holds my coin purse in its hand.
　When the figure realizes that I'm looking at it, it smirks.
　d*mn, pickpocket.

"I'm going after him, Master Ranga!
"Okay, I'll catch up with you soon.

　I'll catch up with you in a minute." I saw Amira run off and reached out to her.

Are you okay?
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Yeah, I think she snatched my coin purse. I'm going to go tell the military police.
Oh, my God!　Oh, my God!　Do you want me to go with you?
I'll be fine.

　--I'll get it back.
　I mutter, and leave the grocery store.
　I run slowly, make sure everyone's eyes are off me, and leap.
　In an instant I'm on the roof, running in the direction of the fleeing pickpockets and telegraphing to Amira.

"Amira, have you got her?
I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. He's pretty quick, ...... but I've cornered him in an alleyway in the third district to the north. We're in pursuit.

　Even though she has her eyes, I can't believe that Amira can't catch a single pickpocket.
　She's no ordinary person, judging by her physical prowess.

I'm on my way. Keep an eye on him.
Yes!

　He broke the telekinesis and sped north to the third ward.

"Master Ranga, we've been expecting you.

　She stood alongside Amira, who was running.
　I saw a small shadow out of the corner of my eye.
　It was moving between buildings at a very fast pace.
　I see, it has the physical ability to jump around in tight spaces at will.
　Amira, who didn't know the area well, would have a hard time.
　But that's as far as it goes.

"Thanks for your help, Amira. I'll take care of the rest.

　With that, I kicked the roof as hard as I could.
　The scenery flows at high speed and I close the distance.

"Hee hee, that girl was persistent, but after all this time, ......".

　Shortly after that, I heard the man's sneer.
　I was already close over his head.
　I lifted my right foot and swung it down at the man.

　Thump!　There was a dull thud and the heel drop sunk into the man's cervical vertebrae.
　And with the momentum, he slams into the ground.
　He landed and looked down to see the man twitching and twitching.
　Apparently, he can't get up.

"Huh, huh, that's great, Ranga-sama. ......

　Amira, out of breath, caught up with me.
　As I took a closer look, I finally realized who this man was.
　The man has bristly hair on his arms and pointed ears.
　He has sharp fangs and his body is a size larger than a normal adult male.

He's a beastman.

　A beastman is a half-human, half-beast race born between a man and a demon.
　They are characterized by high physical strength and often have a short temper.
　The beastmen, who have mixed with various species over the years, have different abilities depending on the beastmen that appear in their appearance.
　With this face and the ability to leap around buildings, this man seems to be a beastman with a strong ape beast demon in him.
　Some live with people, some live as demons, and some live only with beastmen.
　Some live with people, others live as demons, and still others live alone.
　Like this man, they live in the dark world, doing things like banditry or being hired by evil people.

"What should we do?　Ranga-sama, do you want to get rid of him?
You know, sometimes you just say the most horrible things. ...... We can just tie him up and roll him over. Fortunately, this is a patrol route for the guards.

　If the guards find it, they will take care of it properly.
　But still, beastmen.


　You remind me of someone I don't like.

　--The Beast King LeAnn, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army.
　He's a lion beastman who rose to the top of the beastmen hierarchy by leading them around like a woman.
　He was annoying like a human knight with his pride and manners.
　The nickname he got from his personality was the Knight King.
　I remember that he didn't like me very much, and he kept on getting involved with me.
　I'm the type who fights hard. I guess Leanne didn't like me being polite.
　I don't want to see him again if I can help it.
　As I was absentmindedly thinking about this, I noticed that Amira was staring at me.

"...... Ranga-sama, didn't you just think about another woman?
"Gosh!

　The question was too sharp, and he coughed involuntarily.
　I'm not going to let Amira miss that.

"Aaaaah!　You're right, aren't you!　You're talking about that big blonde woman, right?　You still can't forget the woman from the past, can you?
Who's the old girl? I don't remember going out with her.
I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　Ranga-sama's unfaithful!
I'll tell you what, I'm not dating you either, okay?
I'm sorry.　I was going to make it an established fact in the heat of the moment. ......

　You tried to pretend we were dating on the spur of the moment, but that's not how it works.
　I didn't know there was such a ranking. I've never heard of it.
　I'm sure Amira was the only one who voted in that ranking.

Let's just go. Before she wakes up.
Yes!　Let's get back to our date!　I heard from a friend of mine that milk tea with black soy potatoes is very popular these days. Let's go together!
"...... Yes, yes.

　This guy's starting to look like a human being.
　Amira led me to a cafe where I had a cup of milk tea with black soybean sweet potatoes.
　The chewy texture might be addictive.
　I drank it happily with Amira on my way home.
