“——’The Righteous Quintuple Canonical Claws’!”
Five flickering claws. Norman narrowed his eyes at the name she shouted.
“So that’s the name of your ability.”
What was shouted was the designated name of her evolved ability, proof of her ascended level.
Those claws could effortlessly tear apart humans, the instruments of her justice.
Wielded with preternatural physical abilities.
No need for more words——she would kill this man. Jacqueline the Ripper.
In an instant, there was Norman.
In the moment leading to death, he simply whistled.
────Piuu!
As if a master calling his dog.
Elteel-Siriusflame rushed to his side.
It was a giant dog.
Wearing a patchwork trench coat like a cloak, the red belt of the coat was connected to its neck like a collar. Its total length was nearly three meters. Its fur was black, blending into the darkness. Its claws were sharp like butcher knives, and its jaw had saw-like teeth. Only its eyes retained a human-like color, shining even brighter.
“Wh-what!?”
Needless to say, Jacqueline was astonished.
The claws were already raised.
The black dog that had intervened in front of Norman landed on the stone pavement,
“Gah!?”
and knocked her away with a body slam.
The impact was extraordinary.
If she were an ordinary person, that alone would have shattered all her bones and killed her.
“Cough……cough……what……!?”
With a shaking vision and blood dripping from her mouth, she saw it.
The giant black dog standing in front of Norman.
“If you are the Ripper of Hellcatee……”
The man said casually, yet with a smile, as he stroked the black dog’s back.
The black dog purred contentedly.
“El is……the Hellhound of Hellcatee, you could say.”
Elteel-Siriusflame, the Black Demon Dog Bratskdog.
Her ability was to transform her body into a giant black dog.
“……That woman……from back then……! That’s why……you brought her along……!”
“Yes, she’s my bodyguard. ……Ah, you’d better not stand up. You seem tough, but not as tough as El.”
Besides,
“El is……a Category III.”
A stable ability, further capable of various applications, known as [Unlaws].
In [Cartesius], it is considered the highest rank.
“……Is that okay with you!?”
“……?”
The woman’s face contorted as she shouted.
A face covered in wounds.
Her injured body trembled.
A testament to the man’s desires that had trampled her.
The girl who was sold by her brother and cut by customers screamed.
“How can you……become the dog of such a man!? Being used as he pleases! I know men like this! I’ve seen plenty of customers like this! Men who only see women as tools! If something happens, he’ll definitely throw you away like a woman’s enemy!”
“You’re noisy, woman.”
The black dog spoke in human language.
Although its vocal cords should be different from a human’s, such logic doesn’t apply to [Unlaws].
It speaks because it can speak.
“Your ego is too big. Do you think you’re the center of the world? ───You and I are different.”
“……Why?”
“It’s simple, Elementary, The Ripper.”
Even if you hate men,
I love this man.
Even if you are discarded by men,
I was picked up by this man.
If you send this man to hell,
I will simply accompany this man to hell.
That’s all there is to it.
“You chose the wrong person to wag your tail at. If you were a pet, you should have chosen a master who would love you.”
Moreover, she growled,
“If it’s from Norman-sama, I would gladly accept even wounds or pain.”
“No, I wouldn’t do such a thing. I don’t have a taste for hurting people.”
“As expected of Norman-sama, you are so kind……!”
“Don’t joke……!”
Jacqueline became furious.
Jacqueline-Harley had no choices.
Like a beast, she crouched, and her claws extended further. Blood flowed from her fingertips, but she didn’t care.
Emotions are easy fuel for [Unlaws].
But that was no longer possible.
“El.”
“Woof.”

“Go.”
“────Woof!”
Delighted by the short command, the black dog barked.
She shattered the stone pavement and rushed towards the Ripper.
Jacqueline saw.
The dark night. The pitch-black darkness. The rushing black dog.
Night and black and darkness.
Among them, the brightest eyes, Siriusflame, shone brilliantly.
─────The Black Demon Dog Bratskdog shines in hell.
With a roaring sound, the demon dog blew away the Ripper.
The woman’s body flew through the air, but that wasn’t the end.
“Roooo───”
The demon dog took a deep breath. From its extraordinary lung capacity, what emerged was not just a voice.
Unlike Jacqueline, who had the ability to extend extremely sharp claws,
this was a derived ability from transforming into a giant dog.
[Black Demon Dog─────Howl OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]
The demon dog’s scream echoed through the night streets.
A directional vibration of the air crushed and trampled the Ripper.
That was the distant howl signaling the end of a short walk.
“───Woof.”
Shaking its large head, it glanced at Jacqueline, who lay bleeding all over.
“Ah……gah……”
Her body convulsed, and with a hazy vision, Jacqueline looked up.
At the black demon dog standing in the night,
“Good job, El.”
the master slowly approached.
He gently stroked the black fur as he stood beside her,
“Kuuu-n.”
and the demon dog licked Norman’s cheek.
“Wah, haha. That tickles.”
Seeing that, words spilled out.
“────Why?”
To Jacqueline, the scene looked like a giant monster was about to eat the boy.
If the demon dog bared its fangs even slightly, it could tear his throat.
But Norman accepted the demon dog’s tongue as if it were natural.
“───Ah.”
You and I are different.
That’s what she was told.
Then what was different?
Beside the demon dog stood him.
But beside the Ripper stood……a worthless brother.
There was no connection with blood relatives.
When she killed her brother, there was no hesitation. When she awakened to her power, the hesitation disappeared.
Her brother had said,
With that power, you can make money in other ways, or something like that.
In the end, her brother only saw her as a tool.
A tool to make money, a tool for desires, a convenient horse.
The Ripper had a brother who only used her as a tool.
But the demon dog had a master.
That’s why it’s different. That’s why I lost.
“…………What……the worst.”
The Ripper, born in hell, saw the bonds woven in hell and realized the mistake in her own justice.
She let go of everything.
●
“…………Indeed, the last line wasn’t very good.”
Norman shrugged at Jacqueline’s final words as she lay exhausted and powerless.
She seemed to be looking at him with a complex expression, using her last bit of strength, but,
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
He wasn’t interested.
More importantly,
“Good job, El.”
“Yes, Norman-sama!”
The demon dog had returned to her human form.
Although her dress was torn and she was naked, a large trench coat covered her entire body. The two large curves of her chest and hips were visible through the trench coat.
Her slightly drooping eyes were gentle.
Those eyes had the whites and pupils reversed, with the pupils glowing red.
Red and black reversed eyes.
A strong [Transformation] ability, leaving residual effects after transformation.
When they first met, she had reversed eyes even in human form and had to wear a blindfold to live. Through training, she was able to live without a blindfold.
Even so, changes like this occur when emotions are heightened or immediately after using her ability.
“I always think this, but it’s a waste that your clothes get torn every time you transform.”
“Well……that’s true. But I’ve come to terms with it. I always feel bad that Norman-sama buys me clothes. It’s hard to find clothes that fit me.”
“It’s fine. By the way, if there were no restrictions, what kind of clothes would you like to wear?”
“…………Well,”
She tilted her head slightly,
“Something with lots of lace and frills, something cute.”
“……I see. I’d love to see that.”
Norman nodded, making a mental note of that information.
“Still……as expected of Norman-sama, your joke was effective!”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“The Hellhound of Hellcatee Street, the rumors about the monster, you were referring to that, right?”
“Ah……no, that rumored monster……it’s you.”
“………………Huh?”
“You might not remember because of various things, but the first time you and I met, and later when I picked you up again, it was on this Hellcatee Street. Remember, I got a little injured back then? That’s how the rumors spread.”
“Well……”
Elteel smiled at Norman’s words, her eyes widening.
“That is────very romantic.”
●
“Her motive was indignation,”
Norman said as he brushed her.
“Kua?”
Elteel, in her black dog form, yawned in response.
In Norman’s apartment, the living room, her massive body was stretched out comfortably.
Her usual black trench coat was off, and he was brushing her glossy black fur.
Grooming.
After work, Norman brushes her himself, a habit of theirs.
Her fur had a unique luster and a smooth texture.
As he carefully and slowly brushed her, Norman spoke.
“Jacqueline-Harley was sold by her brother and forced to work in an illegal brothel. She’s eighteen now, and she started working there when she was twelve……six years. I can’t imagine what kind of youth she had.”
“Woof.”
“Exactly. It must have been terrible. The important thing is that she spent six years in that place, surviving. For six years, she was sold by her brother and used as a toy for wealthy strangers.”
