Before I could conclude my thoughts, Idris’s movements changed slightly from a moment ago. His legs moved quickly, causing the pouch I was in to sway heavily. Suddenly, my forehead collided with something.

Ouch!

What’s this?

It seemed to be Idris’s buttocks, but why were they so hard like rocks?

“Ugh!”

This scream wasn’t from me, so it seemed that Idris had attacked someone. However, Idris’s movements continued, indicating that the opponent was not just one person.

Argh, I should’ve gone into another pocket! Idris’s buttocks are too hard.

Until now, I had been motionless to avoid being noticed, but I couldn’t endure it anymore. My forehead was going to split in half at this rate.

Note: Idris’s gluteal muscles are too hard.

No, no. I moved my body slightly and hid my head. It was still bumping around, but it was better than before.

Several confusing shakes ended. It was quiet all around. I sensed Idris hiding someone he had defeated, probably one of the guards.

I held my breath again. Idris seemed to throw away the man he surrounded.

Now, can we continue on our way?

It was the moment of relief. The entrance of the pouch I was in opened wide. Then, a hand suddenly entered.

Oh no!

I was caught in the big hand without resistance, lifted into the air. I couldn’t struggle. Idris’s terrifying gaze stared at me because I must have looked scary.

“Cecilia. What’s the meaning of this?”

Wow, I was almost freaked out. It was as terrifying as when I first met Idris.

“Turn back into a person immediately. You have to explain why you’re here right now.”

Ah… I wanted to get caught a bit later.

I closed my eyes tightly.

I had no choice but to turn into a person. Apparently, when I twisted my body to avoid his butt a while ago, he noticed my movement. I thought he was busy fighting…

The place we were in was a dark alley. Two guards who seemed to have just been dealt with were lying beside us.

Oh, I hope I won’t end up like that too.

Without realizing it, I politely put my hands together.

“Sorry…”

“Sorry? Do you think that word will solve everything now? Do you think this place is some picnic spot?”

Idris messed up his hair.

“I don’t know what will happen if you’re caught here. I’ll take you back to the sewer. Get out.”

“Alone? What if I go out and Agila soldiers are there? I don’t even know how to fight. I’ll just—!”

I pretended my throat was being cut. Idris’s face twisted. Oops, shouldn’t have done that. I must have gotten really angry.

“Stop talking nonsense. If you get caught here, who knows what will happen? I’ll take you back to the sewer. Go.”

“Alone? If Agila soldiers are there, you can just hide and wait for me. I’ll transform back into a hedgehog and stay in your pocket. How would anyone know I’m here?”

Veins popped on Idris’s neck. Terrifying.
I turned my head away, afraid of receiving his beast-like, no, real beast’s gaze. It was at that moment.

Screech!

It was the cry of an eagle. Both of us immediately silenced and pressed against the alley wall. I quickly transformed into a hedgehog. Maintaining a large size could easily expose us.

Idris seemed to have the same thought. He picked me up and tucked me into his coat. Due to the tightly bound design of the garment around his stomach, I found a stable spot on Idris’s chest. Moreover, there was a gap between Idris’s buttons.

I poked my nose through that gap. Sniff, sniff. It seemed visible, and so, the eagle that had flown above us a while ago disappeared, and no one was visible in the alley.

“Cecilia, pull your nose back in.”

Idris commanded in a low voice, pressing my nose firmly. I had no choice but to obediently retract my nose.

“We won’t go back. Instead, we won’t make a move there. Got it?”

Instead of replying, I scratched Idris’s chest a couple of times. Idris started moving again.

Phew, it’s fortunate we didn’t get caught.

By the way, doesn’t it look like Idris has a pair of fake breasts from the outside?
