章 1290: My Fox Now

(MC POV)

I got better ok? I stopped at three this time…

On the fourth time, I managed to slap the guy without destroying reality with it. There was still enough force to send him crashing into his friends and knocking all of them out though.

Hey, what can I say? I tried my best.

"Da… Darling?" Manami gasped, surprised to see me there with my hand outstretched.

"Were these people bothering you? Hmm… Maybe I should have asked that before I slapped them…"

"I… I… No, I mean… They…"

I reached up and patted her head, "It's ok, Manami. You can rely on me, you know? You don't need to always take care of things yourself. In fact, since this place clearly doesn't want you around, I would like to bring you back with me instead."

Before anyone could say anything else, I took her by the hand and started walking towards the exit of the store.

Predictably, the manager quickly ran after us.
