Playing The Wingman

Of course, Hiroshi and Kurogami didn't want to steal the spotlight even though they genuinely wanted to help Midori. It was painfully obvious that Midori won't be able to catch up to the thief, let alone bring him down without external help.

Because of that, Hiroshi and Kurogami opted to butt in and thought of a plan to help Midori out as self-proclaimed wingmen.

This was Midori's date, and he shouldn't make a bad name for himself no matter what. With that in mind, Hiroshi and Kurogami jumped in on cue, trailing the pickpocket with their gaze while they hid behind a shrub from afar.

"As expected, that thief is pretty fast... but I can still follow him with my eyes. This should be a piece of cake." Hiroshi licked his lips as he extended his hand. Despite the distance, he could feel the earth connect to his palms as if it was an extension of his body.
