Before Norman could wonder about it, she kissed him. By the time he registered the sudden act, he found himself pushed back into the sofa seat.
“Mmnh–“
She even slipped her tongue in. Stunned, he opened his eyes wide only to find hers were open too at point-blank range.
Her bewitching, shimmering odd eyes. The deep kiss lasted over 10 seconds.
“—-Teehee, my my.”
“……..What was that?”
The moment he asked,
a dull thudding sound came from outside the cabin, like something repeatedly falling over.… Read more

The young girl was bored.
She was aware that she had gone insane.
Further, her surroundings had rapidly gone insane as well.
Everything was just as she wished.
Whatever she said became reality.
She lacked for nothing.
A paradise made just for her.
“—–“
“You seem bored, Miss,”
the boy said, as if seeing right through her.
He had appeared in her world recently.
And yet, he still did not belong to her.… Read more

Lonzder looks at the man beside her.
Despite the wounds all over her body that her “deviant state” healing power could fully recover from in a day or two, he carefully treats them.
A diligent man.
she posed the question to such a man.
In the end, Lonzder EnhanceDiah killed Filgie Mule.
After repeated blows, a heavy revolving kick that could be called the finishing blow.
Damage exceeding the durability of the “deviant state” led to her death.… Read more

A [Deviant Form]’s power could be extended to their clothing.
The abnormal ability takes effect by defining the clothes wrapped around oneself as part of one’s being. Otherwise, depending on the type of ability, one might end up completely naked every time they use it. This is a more flexible point than [Metamorphosis].
However, it’s not something that can be done immediately.
One cannot do it without the necessity and attachment to recognize it as part of one’s own body.… Read more

Norman heard that sound.
A thud, a dull, low, but large thunderous sound.
It was the collision of Lonzder’s middle kick and Filgie’s fist.
“Hahahaha!”
“Hihihihi!”
Overlapping mocking laughter, the beauty and the old woman engaged in combat.
The close-quarters combat with the physical abilities of the [Deviant Form] was a high-speed, ultra-powerful exchange.
Each feinting jab contained enough force to shatter a person’s head, and a serious body kick could rupture internal organs.… Read more

“Heheheheh, you’re one to talk, missy. Didn’t tell me about yourself either, did you?”
The unmasked phantom thief’s distinctive wheezing laugh revealed her to be an elderly woman.
Her small frame was clad in a tailored tuxedo, cape, and silk top hat—the very image that comes to mind for a phantom thief, mismatched with her advanced age.
Her name and face rang a distant bell in Lonzder’s memory
from seeing her with Detective Oliver at the museum yesterday.… Read more

“At the museum, when we shook hands in order, that guy tried to crush my hand. Why? It was a provocation. He considered what kind of person I am and did that, either to point it out or yell at me in that situation. It’s utterly astonishing arrogance. For a moment, I was boiling too and tried to crush his hand in return.”
“I heard about that on the way back.”
“Ah, I see. Well, you see, we were both holding back, but since we can constantly exhibit these physical abilities, only my kind can make such provocations.… Read more

“Eh!? How did you know the police chief’s wife and daughter left him!?”
“None of your-“
“If you ask, it’s obvious. Compared to the last time I saw Chief Inspector Oliver two weeks ago, he’s gained weight. Most likely a sudden gain. Looking at the wrinkles on his belt, it’s clear he’s wearing it two sizes looser than usual. He loves being in the field, so it’s not inactivity. Therefore, it must be due to temporary emotional stress.… Read more

“That envelope and stationery are packed with clues about the culprit. It’s like she’s saying, ‘Notice me.’ It would have been easy for her not to include any hints at all, and yet she sent a warning note. Putting all the information together, you could say she’s living up to the words— ‘we look forward to your valiant efforts.'”
Grin—grinning.
The passersby shuddered and made way for that hideous grin, but she didn’t care.… Read more

But before Norman could begin explaining, Lonzder spoke up first.
“The jewel thief has been striking various antique shops, museums, libraries, and even the city hall – making off with antiquities and art pieces, all preceded by a notice. The first antique store was dismissed as a prank at first, but was still robbed, so greater security measures were taken in coordination with the police for the subsequent cases. But it was all for naught – glimpses of the thief were spotted but the targets were still stolen clean.… Read more
