Is it wrong to be beaten by a rabbit?

Chapter 6: The Talk (A Drunk Wolf?)

' Who is this man?'

Allen Fromel stared down at a man with blonde hair and eyeglasses. He had a strange atmosphere about him. The man in question then reached into his trenchcoat.

Allen frowned.

He had seen and heard what had transpired in the hostess of fertility.

Although the topics that the man and the boy talked about, were out of Allen's area of expertise he could tell they had some sort of connection.

' From what I can tell, he's a threat. I must either eliminate him or get answers.', Allen thought as he clenched his fist preparing for battle.

" So can we talk it out?", the man said blandly, as if he hadn't almost hit by a spear moments ago.

This statement brought a confused look to Allen's face. however, before he could answer the man the man interjected.

" Let's be real both you and I don't want to work overtime. so here's what's gonna happen...", the man said, taking out his hand from his coat. in which he had a pen and a pad of paper.

Taking his pen and pad into his hands, he continued, "... each of us is going to take turns answering each other's questions. Each round we ask each other one question. there will be three rounds. does that make sense?"

Allen digested the words for a second then replied.

" Why should I comply?"

" If we fought, other third parties will find out. I'm sure your goddess wouldn't want that."

This was true. If the Loki Familia found out that Freya was after a singular boy they would intervene. this was also excluding the Ishtar Familia. needless to say, it would be trouble.

Allen nodded understanding the man's point. He then jumped down from the roof. He landed right next to his spear and picked it up.

Now the two men were standing in front of each other.

" Very well, I understand."

' I can listen to his heartbeat. If it fluctuates, I'll know if he's nervous.', Allen thought as his cat ears switched.

Allen Fromel was part of the race known as the cat people. compared to other races and adventurers they had more sensitive hearing. this worked too, to Allen's advantage.

Allen took the spear embedded into the street.

The man smiled, " Great... first off my name is Nanami Kento. I will go first."

Nanami took a deep breath and spoke.

" Who is Ryomen Sukuna to you?"

Allen arched his eyebrow and crossed his hands.

" Never heard of the name."

Nanami nodded and wrote something down on the pad.

"I understand. Your turn."

Allen thought for a moment, thinking of what to say.

He then asked for the second time, " What is your affiliation with that boy?"

"I owe him and besides...", Nanami said fixing his glasses. "... the higher-ups will be interested in him."

" Will? As in not currently?", Allen shot back.

Allen listened to Nanami's heartbeat finding that it was steady, he wasn't nervous. Unfortunately, the answer only left him with more questions.

Allen grits his teeth,
