I inspected the wall where the Hero fell on with〖Presence Sense〗.
There’s only one person inside. He’s running while rolling down the building.

It looks like he ran through the building to the other side of the corridor.
Jumping over buildings and giving chase right now would lead to time loss.
I turned around and broke the building by hitting it with my back.

While feeling the impact of the debris on my back, I crawled inside the building.
When I came out the other side, the building completely collapsed.
…… I feel bad for the owner, but it can’t be helped.

I sensed movement from my left.
When I turned around, I saw the Hero.
He’s leaning and sitting beside a wall, while bleeding.
With all that blood loss, I don’t think he can move much anymore.

Looking at his status, he looks like he could die at any minute now.

There were a number of people somewhere a little farther behind the Hero.
Everyone is looking at the Hero stunned.
But, when they saw me, they all ran away like baby spiders.

The Hero looks at the runaway crowd with hate and he stands up with shaking legs.

“A-Answer me, Laplace! What… what’s going to happen to me?! What should I do now?! Laplace! Answer me!”

When I heard the name, I subconsciously stopped moving.
Laplace…… one of the skills from God’s Voice that simulates the possibilities of future situations.
I do remember that the Hero had that skill.
I got surprised when he suddenly shouted the name, but even if he relies on it at the last minute, nothing bad’s probably gonna happen.
The reason why I didn’t dare get close to him was because I thought something was about to happen at that time. But, now…

I jump at the Hero while raising my claw.
And, then… one girl from the crowd came out and ran in between me and the Hero.

“H-, Hero-sama!”

The Hero has always been praised as a true hero in Haranae.
Many people may not understand the situation of this entire charade.
Even more so if it’s a child.

This may be bad for the child, but I’m still going to kill this guy.

The moment I lowered my claws because the girl showed up, the Hero moved at blistering speed, faster than he was before.
He jumps, turns his body, and gets close to the girl who was running this way.
It wasn’t a move by instinct, but a move by will.
And, just like that, the Hero fell down the ground with the girl in his hands.

“Ki ~ya~a!”

Then, the Hero quickly raised his body while pointing his red sword at the girl’s neck.

“Stay away! If you get any closer, I’ll kill her! Understand?! If you do, then stay back!”

“W-Why…… this is just…… no way……”

“Be quiet! Just so you know, I hate children! They’re annoying, I want to kill them so bad! Now, you get down! Get down, I say!”

Is this guy serious?
To think he’d stoop this low.

I can hear screams and confusion among the crowd.

“W-Why would the Hero do such a thing……?”
“I kind of thought that it was just a misunderstanding, but…… why this……”

There is no way the Hero can’t hear them.

“He he, uwa ha ha ha ha ha~a! I didn’t think you’d actually stop! You’re a fool! For a monster, you make me sick!”

The Hero removes his sword from the girl’s neck.
I wondered why he’d put his sword away… until he sliced the girl’s stomach.

“A~, a, aa……”

The girl starts spitting blood from her mouth.

“Gru~o~o~oo!”

I once again take a huge leap, open my claws, and aim at the Hero’s head.
The Hero kicked girl between my nails and himself.

Without thinking, I slowed down as the girl’s body as it headed my way, and carefully grabbed without hurting her with my nails.
The Hero saw a chance and cut off my arm which was holding the girl.

“Gru~o!”

“A ha ha ha ha ha~a! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Over and over, you keep attacking me the same way!”

The Hero raises his sword and starts running towards the crowd.
He shouldn’t even be able to move so well with that status.
No, wait… his bleeding is slowing down. Has his injuries healed?

The sheath from the Hero’s red sword looks like it’s pulsating.
Don’t tell me… that sword can not only suck in blood, but it can also heal the user’s HP?
Is he going to cut all those people off to restore his HP?

…… I’m counting on you… Partner.

“Gra~a~a!”

When Partner growled, light envelops the blood-stained girl.
And then, I gently put the girl down on the ground.

“W-Why are you……”

I then turn my back away from the girl and glance at the Hero.

【Title Skill〖Tiny Hero〗has risen from Lv9→MAX.】

“Oh, come on! You should be happy that you’re healing me before I die, wa ha, ha ha ha ha~a!”

The Hero just finished killing a second person.
He then kicked the body to the end of the road.
I flew and blocked the Hero’s path.

“…… Eh?”

I raised my claw high up and swung it down hard on the Hero.

“A ga ~a!”

It looks like the Hero recovered, but that’s not a big deal.
His movement isn’t perfect.
Right now, he’s just moving wildly.
I don’t know what amount of winning percentage Laplace told you, but I think it gave him a better chance, if not worse.

“Gra~a!”

When Partner growled, light envelops the man that fell down from behind.
He’s still alive.
I’m sure he didn’t dare kill him to distract me.

【Title Skill〖Relieved Mind〗has risen from Lv9→MAX.】

〖Tiny Hero〗and〖Relieved Mind〗… The two good-natured skills both maxed up.

“Laplace! This isn’t what you told me! Save me, save me Laplace! What should I do, what should I do now?! Tell me, tell me this instant! Quit playing with me!”

The Hero starts screaming just as his limbs are shaking.
I pinned down the hero with my arm and exert power on my muscles to hold him in place.
The ground breaks as the Hero gets crushed by my force.

“O buh~! A, aah……”

The Hero released the red sword from his grasp.
The sword lands on the ground and makes a clanging sound.
