Chapter 113: Life... of a Hero?

"N… no, please… please don't!"

In a dimly lit alleyway, the dust of the city was currently being swept away as a man was pushing himself backward, his butt sliding against the hard and dirty pavement. The man was holding a red purse, gripping it tightly even as he used his other limbs to try and crawl away.

"That's not yours."

"E… eek!" The man started to hasten his movements, causing him to slightly tumble as the young woman in front of him approached ever so slowly.

"Please… can you just hand it to me so we could return it?"

Silvie then stepped out of the shadow, shaking her head as she let out a short but deep sigh that echoed through the alleyway, "I'm not going to hurt you, so please. I still have to surrender you to the police since you did something bad, though…

...so please, give it back," she then muttered, her tone still containing a slight worry as she tried to gesture for the thief to calm down.
