"Indeed you know just like Itsuho-chan deducted, there are some special abilities in this world even though it is not known to the public"
Atsushi look at the moon like he is in some kind of trance as he suddenly stiffened like he is possessed, sensing Atsushi's movements Itsuho frowned.
"Those who inherit this power without being able to control it, most of them will get destroyed their bodies by their own abilities."
Even though she can't see, Itsuho did feel the boy's transformation but she didn't move.
"Probably those from his orphanage already knew the identity of the tiger even though they didn't tell him or other authoritative figures for some unknown reason" she opened her eye lids as she trying to see something from the boy.
"You are the only one who didn't know it, your other self Atsushi-kun. You are a....what do they call Dazai?"
"You really surprised me Itsuho-chan. I have to say that you are not bad for the job" Dazai closed his eyes for a moment as he chuckled.
"He is a gifted one." He look at Atsushi who almost now a tiger. "You took down a machine gun like it is nothing in other day. You are a user of moonlight"
"So he is like a were tiger in jungle myth who become a tiger when the moon is full or something like were wolves.... opps my mistake it is not he is like a weretiger....he is the were tiger"
She turn to Atsushi who is now a tiger. When it growl at her Dazai jump towards her to protect but she ignore it as she walk to the tiger.
"Itsuho-chan!" The claw of the tiger came to get her head in no time.
As the claw is just a few centimeters away from her she suddenly moves as she dodged it easily as she jumped away from it.
"It is quite big huh.....nope probably bigger than a normal tiger"
She dodged another one of it claws as the tiger crashed to the boxes right in there she stayed a moment ago.
"Itsuho-chan! Are you alright?" Dazai ran to her although he seem to be surprised at her nonchalant attitude as she wipe the dust off his trench coat which she is wearing to cover up her tattered robe as she haven't had a dodging battle with a tiger that is enormous and aiming to end her life.
"Hn, it seems the cat is quite unruly. Like it is asking a collar to put around its fluffy neck" Itsuho smile changed as it became bit wild with a hint of sardonic pleasure add on to it.
Dazai look at her with a speechless smile, not knowing what to say as she charged at it again.
"No matter how fierce a tiger can be...." Her legs sprint to floor as she launched herself at air, then in a millisecond her hand pressed on its nose as she landed on the back of the tiger.
".....it still a overgrown cat that is like to eat bigger things than rats!" Seeing a human mounts it, the tiger became furious as it started to run and jump all direction to shook her off with with a furious roar.
"It seems like we found a quite interesting person Kunikida-kun." Dazai eyes widened for a moment as he stood away from the 'ruckus' as he rubbed chin while muttering under breath.
No matter how it struggles to move and shook off her from its back, Itsuho effortlessly hold on to it as she shook her head like she is looking with disappointment at a kid who has been behaving badly.
"How naughty! It seems putting a collar isn't enough. Bad kitties need to be punished!" Soon her fist clenched as it crashed down to tiger's head in blink of an eye.
"Ouuoooh!!" Tiger howled in pain as the fist didn't stop as the next punch crashed on to its below neck. Soon punch after punch started to crash to it.
"Ouch!!" Dazai hissed under his breath as a non existent pain hit him just by seeing this savage scene in front of him.
As she keep this stance gradually the tiger's fierce howls started to tone down. By the time she stopped punching, it started to whimper under her as she touched it's head in satisfaction. "Good kitty, after of all hisses and growling now you tone down!"
"See no one harm you just because you stopped those fierce growling. So why do such a useless thing in the first place. You could have become an obedient cute kitty in front of me instead of jumping at me and almost destroying the cloth I got burrowed to cover myself properly!"
If Kunikida was here he would have screamed at the absurdity of this scene, accusing that she already punch it down until it got traumatized just for the safty of her clothes.
But for some fortune or misfortune of the tiger, it was Dazai in the warehouse with them who is now looking at this in a daze for a moment as his script of cool moves and speeches got stolen by her fierce fists and attitude.
She caressed its fur as she scratched under its chin as it groaned comfortably while asking more scratches. "See.... if you be good earlier, I would have give you a belly rub too"
"Meow" its whimpers became more and more aggrieved as she keep scratching under its chin. Sensing Dazai is looking at them motionlessly her hand paused for a moment.
"Dazai are you okay? Did something happen?"
"....no not at all Itsuho-chan" He snapped out of the trance. "Are you this strong Itsuho-chan?"
"Huh? You mean the punch? I am not that strong. There is a trick behind it" Itsuho chuckled as the tiger whimper aggrievingly as she say nothing else.
"Well...." Dazai walk to them awkwardly as he look at the tiger turning its fierce eyes at him but he keep getting closer as he didn't scared of it.
Then the tiger turned back its eyes at her as the fierce look in those eyes earlier vanished like that wasn't there to begin with as those multicolored purple eyes look at her with a full of submission with a gaze of begging more scratches.
"Er...." Dazai stood beside her speechlessly as the smile on his lips twitched while looking at the tiger that is snuggling its face on her lap as he crouched down.
Then he touched it's fur with his finger tips. "My ability is to dispel others abilities just by touching them."
As a light shine upon it, it look at Dazai grudgingly. Sensing it's gaze Itsuho chuckled. "If my good kitty behave properly, I will give you a belly rub next time we meet"
"Meow!!" It meowed like it is asking whether she is promising as it vanished revealing the familiar white haired boy who unconsciously sprawled on the floor as his head placed on Itsuho's lap as she ruffled his hair.
