Chapter 6: I’m Not a Kitty
“What kind of joke is this... Hoo... A monster turning into a human...? A human turning into a monster...? If this was on a comedy show, it’d get canceled and torn apart in the comments...”
They kept running their mouth, so I figured they must not be in danger anymore. Thinking that, I swung my tail at the Phantom Hound creeping up behind me like a beast trying to snatch prey while I wasn’t looking.
My tail, spread out like a whip, tore the Phantom Hound to shreds.
The mothers, who had been watching the scene unfold right in front of them, flinched and shielded their children’s eyes.
“H-Hiiik...”
“Y-Your rank...?”
[Despair]
“Y-You’re shitting me... Hahaha... Ah—wait... then that rumor... You’re the one the Heroes are looking for...?”
At that moment, the police officer spoke in a rush, gasping for breath.
“Right now... the Heroes... they’re on standby, preparing for a Despair-Class monster... If it’s real, then they’re coming. Here.”
[Hero]
The reason the kids were in danger was because of me.
