“That’s not what we agreed on!”

A woman’s voice echoed through the backstreet just as Veltol was leaving the shop, having paid for the udon with his PDA.

He recognized that voice. There was also another, lower voice of a man. It sounded like an argument.

Quarrels weren’t uncommon in this city. Veltol had witnessed several heated arguments end in murder. Usually, he wouldn’t care either way, but he couldn’t ignore it this time considering he knew one of the people arguing.

He followed the voice to an even narrower alleyway. That was where he found Takahashi.

She was visibly upset, shouting at the ogre man in front of her. Takahashi was small even for a human her age, and she looked even tinier when compared to the ogre.

“You’re gonna have to pay me double if it’s the yakuza we’re dealin’ with, Bunny Bones.”

“What, you’re chickening out?”

“Hell no. I’m talkin’ business here. You feel me?”

“Grrr…!”

The ogre spoke with a grin, while Takahashi flailed her arms in anger.

Veltol recognized the ogre as well. The cheap prosthetic arm, the tank top and cargo pants, the mohawk—he was the ogre who’d given Veltol a beating after he lost to Marcus.

“Quit trying to jack up the cost right before the job even starts!” Takahashi yelled. “We have a contract!”

“Well, I changed my mind. I’ll be risking my life, so I’ve gotta get something appropriate in return. If you’re not cool with that, then look for someone else. If you can find anyone, that is.”

“You can’t even keep a written agreement?!”

“Written agreement? This ain’t exactly respectable work we’re doin’ here. How’re you gonna sue me for that, huh?”

“Stupid freakin’ bogeyman! You’re all bulk and no brains! Bet you don’t have any balls, either, you wimpy ogre. Aww, poor widdle bogeybaby.”

“The fuck did you just say to me, you goddamn hairless monkey? I’m gonna smash your fucking ape skull in!”

They threw slurs at each other, the resulting sparks enough to ignite a real fight at any moment. The ogre obviously wasn’t backing down, but Takahashi was fearless.

“Stop right there.”

“Huh? Velly?!”

“Eh?”

Veltol stepped forward and loudly interjected. He couldn’t stand to see a big man trying to intimidate a small woman, even if it likely made no difference in modern society.

“The hell are you?” The ogre turned to him after hearing his voice. “Oh, you’re the guy from that one time…”

“Stay away from her and I’ll let you go.”

“Eh? You know Bunny Bones?”

“Bunny Bones? So what if I do?”

Veltol looked straight at the ogre, provoking him with a menacing glare.

“Hey, pip-squeak, don’t you remember how I bashed your brains in? Man, seeing you puke your brains out was a real hoot! And I’m such a good guy, I didn’t even post the footage on the aethernet.”

The ogre took the bait and slowly approached Veltol, all the while dishing out more insults:

“Fine with me! You’re gonna regret tryin’ to look good in front of this lady, you barfing shrimpy piece of trash… I’ll take you out right here, right now.”

He tried to grab Veltol with his big prosthetic hand, dead set on killing the Demon Lord.
