Seitenshi stiffened, and her vision went black.
Cold sweat soaked her forehead.
Yet.
In the end, Seitenshi endured the searing pain in her back and jerked her head up.
Those eyes, usually filled with gentleness and a waterlike calm, now burned with two flames.
-Utter fury!
"What are you doing?!"
"She's a person! A child!"
"Even if she stole something, even if she did something wrong, you can't treat her like this!"
"Tokyo has laws, too!"
Although Seitenshi's voice trembled from the sheer pain.
The authority cultivated by her long years in a position of power revealed itself at that moment.
It made the two patrol officers freeze for a moment.
The sudden turn of events left them momentarily dazed.
But soon.
After that brief surprise, their bewilderment gave way to even deeper malice.
-Under the interference of Haimo's divine power.
No matter how much Seitenshi acted like someone in authority, in these mortals' eyes, she was merely a well-dressed madwoman with something wrong with her head.
"Huh? Who the hell are you?"
The fat patrol officer recovered first.
He had no idea who the woman before him was.
In his eyes.
She was just a madwoman who had appeared out of nowhere.
And so.
He spat a thick wad of phlegm onto the ground with utter vulgarity, then pointed the baton he had just used to beat someone straight at Seitenshi's nose.
"You're certainly dressed all fancy. Those clothes are pretty white..."
"What? Are you this little monster's accomplice?"
"Or..."
The fat patrol officer looked Seitenshi up and down before making an even more vicious conjecture.
"Are you one of those perverts who takes in monsters like this?"
"I hear some rich people are into that. It really does take all kinds."
"I am..."
Faced with this blatant humiliation.
