Zinogre Hero

Chapter 8

Ze kept his glare on the man as the girl was terrified of him.

???: I apologize for my daughter running into like that, stranger. Said as he smiled under his mask. She always playing rough, bumping into things.

Ze stayed quiet as he examined him very closely.

Ze 'thought': Reaks of blood. Powerful threat. Have to be cautious about his quirk. One wrong move and I'll end up dead.

???: I don't believe I've seen you around here before. Where are you from?

Ze: Ryozanpaku.

???: Ryozanpkau huh. So, you're training with the master of that place.

Ze nodded in response.

Ze: What's with the mask?

???: Oh this? It just keeps the filth out. 

Hearing this, some of Ze's fur stood up as a spark of electricity appeared only for a brief moment.

???: You were in the middle of doing something weren't you? I apologize for her interrupting your training. I'm sure you didn't want to have your training interrupted now, do you?

Ze didn't say anything as he simply looked at him. Right before he was about to stand up, the girl tightly grabbed his shirt getting his attention.

???: Please....don't go. Said while scared.

Ze looked down as he saw that she had tears in her eyes. Seeing this, he looked at the man as his nails slowly started to sharpen.

Ze: She's crying. Said with a serious look. Why?

???: A reaction to getting scolded.

Ze: Lies. Said almost growling. Explain why her legs and arms are covered in bandages? There more than playing rough.

His fur on his tail slowly started to stand up along with his spikes as they started to stretch his shirt.

???: Well she is a very clumsy girl so she gets hurt quite a bit.

Ze: Is it just being clumsy, or being forced to do something she doesn't want to? Said as he placed one of his hands on the girl's head. Explain now.

The man looked at him as Ze did the same with the atmosphere getting very intense. As the two of them stared at each other, sparks of electricity slowly started to appear on his tail as it was slowly gathering in one spot. Right things could escalate any further, the man admits defeat as he sighs.

???: You really pick up on the sublets of things, huh pal? Very well. It's embarrassing to talk about in the open. So I prefer to discuss it where we be overheard. Said as he started to walk back down the alleyway.

Ze kept his eyes fixed on him as he picked up the girl in his arms and followed him. As he followed him, he made sure to have his body surging with electricity in case things get violent.

???: Actually, recently, I've had a lot of problems with Eri. She keeps defying me no matter what I say.

Ze stayed quiet as he glances at the girl named Eri.

Ze: That so?

???: Yeah, children are hard to understand. Plus they can be so tricky making it difficult to properly raise them.

He slowly reached for his glove on his left hand as Ze got ready for what was coming.

???: Sometimes they just don't listen.
