Chasing Assailant

The yelling agents proceeded to rumble their feet through the town's streets, and they could be seen from every direction, with someone hidden among the tea shop chairs, clothed in elderly clothes and sporting a beard attached to his jaw. Suddenly, one of the agents approached and requested aid.

"Could we ask you, old man, if you've ever seen a kid clothed in yellow garments with blue hair and eyes? He's come to the attention of the agency, and we need to find him right away. If at all feasible, please supply us with details."

"A young boy? Yes, say no more. He went in that direction, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly where he went."

"Thank you very much, sir! Your assistance is greatly appreciated!"

Moments later, the leader of that agent's group pointed them in the same direction as the elder, and they all ran past the tea shop together. The senior, on the other hand, swiftly stood up and paid the bill after sipping the freshly brewed tea.

"Thank you very much, I'll be going home,"

The elder proceeded forward with his arms crossed behind his back, but as soon as he positioned himself in the middle of the street, he looked in every direction and elevated his leg and arm. Ellie ran out of the phony garments that gently fell toward the floor in less than a second, leaving the woman at the tea shop perplexed.

"Was that "man" actually a young boy...?"

As she stayed mute and slowly returned inside the tea shop, the question marks floated above her head with her eyes dotting.

Ellie, on the other hand, ran with hops, yelling out loud with delight as he effortlessly evaded the agents.

"Like a boss, I jacked them! They're such morons, they don't even know what a fake is! I'm incredible!"

He raced with an embarrassing action by holding his arms in the air while zigzagging between the buildings of the streets as he applauded himself and laughed in the air. He had repeatedly done the process and screamed, causing a tremendous commotion across the town, with people mistaking him for an idiot, despite the fact that the agents were on the opposite side.

He rounded a corner without anyone seeing what was going on in the main street, and there were no sounds for a long until a sudden scream engulfed the crowd and the dust rose into the air. Ellie screamed around the corner, tears in his eyes, with an army of agents after him. They were attempting to apprehend him while armed, with many of them firing their weapons while he flexibly leapt between them or dodged them, his body motions nearly impossible to track. Some of the motions were pointless, while others were required to avoid danger.

"Of course, I regain an entire army of enemies on my ass!"

The dust was rising behind their feet, and several people coughed in response to the overwhelming amount of dust.

The agents lost sight of Ellie once more and rushed passed the street lighting. They were calling for them to divide into groups, but none of them heeded the call and stayed in their groups, missing Ellie, who had been relatively close to them.

Ellie came out from beneath the single street lamp, wiped away the sweat, and bent forward with whirling eyes when the coast was clear. He was sweating profusely and trying to hide, but then another squad of agents charged in his direction. As he ran behind the bar and placed a lamp cover on top of his head, his eyes bulged out like pipes.

The agents sprinted past him one more time, ultimately keeping Ellie away from all the chasing, who eventually appeared in the street and sat down on a bench, his left arm draped over the bench's back and his head pressed against it, with an overtired body.

"That was too close..."

He became increasingly exhausted while reclining on the bench and eventually fell asleep on it. Later, as he was sleeping, an agent passed by the location where Ellie was sleeping, and when the agent recognized it was the guy they were looking for, he cautiously approached him to avoid waking him up.

He had been doing fine for a while, but when he was a few meters moments away, Ellie awoke from his nap and saw the agent in front of him, leaping off the bench he was sitting on. He then swiftly swept his leg into the agent's face and knocked him out of the way with ease.

"You tried to assault me when I was sleeping! That's just a cowardly move!"

As Ellie groaned, the agent's face was pressed against the wall, and he continued to mutter terrible sounds until he passed out. Ellie kept walking down the street when he saw a figure fall from the sky. After detecting a loud quake behind his back with a large ball thrown into it, Ellie leapt forward into a front roll.

Ellie was pushed at breakneck speed by the force, which he barely managed to control. He quickly shifted his motion into a side roll, spun through the air, and rotated his body to land perfectly, facing the attacker, who was wielding a massive mace ball with spikes digging into the ground from the slam. Ellie's eyes got awkward to glance at the man in front of him as the earth fractured in a spherical shape.

"Who the hell are you?! Some sort of a tyrant?"

The man appeared to be one of the tougher agents, having a muscular build and legs that were narrower than they should have been. He had spiky shoulder armor protruding from either side, as well as a terrible visage that menacingly smiled at Ellie's approach. The man's voice had a deep tone to it at first, but it sounded juvenile.

"I found another insect that needs to be squashed! This will be entertaining."

Ellie's eyes grew sad and austere, and he kept a strange smirk on his face, as if he had been mocking the man, and he lifted his finger and directed it forward, then chuckled.

"You have an unusual physique! What went wrong? Have your legs missed years of training because your body just grew around your top?"

As he leaned forward in front of Ellie's face, who was slightly bent back and sweating with a shivering voice, the agent in front of him appeared to become threatening seriously.

"What did you say?"

"Uh. That you're weird."

When his expectations were turned upside down, the agent began crying loudly in the air while wiping his eyes, as if he was about to release his frenzy, which startled Ellie and caused him to back away.

"Why does everyone call me weird? I don't like bullies!"

Ellie's jaw sank to the ground and he looked about with startled eyes as his words continued to ring with sadness. He was ashamed as he listened to the agent's loud wailing and screaming, and he observed how the tears began to spread on the ground, soaking it.

"Is he... Crying?"

("Hey... He's so insecure about himself. This is my chance. Ooh, this will be fun to watch.")

He smiled at the agent and crossed his arms, then gripped the agent's right shoulder, coughing out with his eyes glittering with beauty as he stared for a few moments.

"I was just kidding."

"Huh?"

"I call everyone weird, don't worry. It's just how I express my gratitude to them."

Ellie smiled and was moved to the core as the agent gently stared at him. He seemed genuinely interested in Ellie's speech and gave him the floor. "Really...?"

"Without a doubt. I swear you're not strange at all. I'm sure you've had some medical concerns in the past, but even if you haven't, you have a really attractive figure. Women prefer males with slimmer legs, so keep that in mind. As a result, I'm confident you'll succeed in becoming a proper gentleman."

"Wow. You're actually pretty nice: I don't understand why everybody's after you. I'm sorry, I'll let you go. I never expected to meet a person who isn't bothered by my physique."

"Yeah, of course. Don't worry. I'm sure everything will go according to plan."

Ellie's deception, then appeared out of nowhere, obvious within his frightening look, and he abruptly dropped his arm off the agent's shoulder. He screamed angrily after dropping his left arm and forming it into a fist. He slammed his fist into the agent's jaw and hurled him into the air, spitting blood from his teeth. It slammed him onto the ground after throwing him into a back roll.

"You idiot! You're absolutely weird!"

Ellie's mouth erupted with rage, and he felt ashamed to console a man who happened to be his enemy, as he had puffed cheeks. He groaned and put his hands in his pockets, while the big mace ball lay on the floor next to the agent's body, which hadn't moved an inch.

"Man. These agents are out of the usual in every way. It's time for me to meet up with the others. I don't want to be pursued by a bunch of knuckleheads and weirdos like these."

Ellie chose to rejoin the others and rushed past the agent's battered body. However, another person was chasing him in the shadows of the rooftops, and Ellie was unable to notice them.
