let go of the sad memory of her mother.
The second reason was pretty insignificant to her personally. A demon did not consider her an enemy as long as he did not see her, because she was surrounded by the aura of Shioranu and the demon therefore considered her to be his own.
Lost in her thoughts, she wasn't paying attention and walked out into a corridor full of cameras without carefully exploring herself first. She was able to get back into the other corridor just in time without one of the cameras noticing her. She calculated in her mind how fast she had to be in order not to be caught by the cameras. Then it started running so fast that someone who didn't know what to look for would not have seen it. He wouldn't have heard her either, because she could not only sneak up silently like a cat, but also run just as silently.Without being captured by a camera, she ran on. This time she was much more careful. Now there wasn’t even a tiny chance for her to stumble into a trap with her cat-like senses. The demon he frame was as good as hers.
Jeanne had already covered most of the distance when she suddenly heard the completely angry voice, exhausted from fast races without a break, which clearly belonged to Sinbad.
She turned around immediately and gave him a startled look. At the same time she asked what was going on and where Access was.
Sindbad told Jeanne briefly about the encounter with Creeping Cat and what he suspected about her. Even that a shiver ran down his spine, he didn't miss it.
"What? You can't be serious! You want to claim now that she is a demon who banishes demons?" Jeanne cried out in disbelief.
"No, I didn't mean to say that. I don't know myself. She looked human to me, but she had such a strong demonic aura. Besides, it is not said that she banishes demons. She could just as well stop us from doing this. Just think about what she did to Access. "
Jeanne was about to reply when she noticed the policemen running towards her and called to Sindbad: "Watch out: we have to outsmart the policemen and go to the frame. It doesn't make any sense to worry about it now anyway if Creeping Cat falls into one of Von Miyako's traps. "
"That's right, you're right. I have to calm down, otherwise I'll lose our bet."
"What ?! In such a situation you think of this stupid bet! Why did I get involved in it!" With these words, she ran off and left Sindbad alone with the police. ° Should he take care of the cops if he has nothing else in mind than the stupid wager. This is about Jeanne's safety.If Creeping Cat really wants to keep me from banishing the demon, I have to win against her, otherwise Jeanne would die. I definitely don't want her to die, because I definitely don't want to lose a friend again. °
Sindbad, who couldn't understand why Jeanne had let him down, was meanwhile busy with the police. He wanted to catch up with Jeanne as soon as possible, because he didn't want her to face the dangerous and inconsiderate thief Creeping Cat alone.
During the conversation of Jeanne and Sindbad, Creeping Cat had sneezed a few times, exactly at the time when she wanted to run past three police officers silently and quickly, as is her way, unnoticed. ° If it was Shioranu who was just talking about me, then he can be prepared. I could have run past them unnoticed. But now I have to overpower them and they will be hurt. Today everything is really going wrong. First the argument with Shioranu, then the one with Access and now the one with the police. Did I read a saying from the book of demons wrong and put myself under a bad luck curse? °
Creeping Cat had just arrived in the room with the frames when she quietly heard someone come here quickly. She pricked up her ears immediately and now she was listening with her specially trained
Ears, as judging by the steps a 16 year old very sporty girl approached. ° I have to hurry. Either that is Jeanne or, worse, Myako. °
While she had tried so hard to find out who it was, she didn't notice the web falling on her. She narrowly escaped the net, but fell victim to another trap.
By now the person who had heard Creeping Cat arrived in the room. As she suspected it was Jeanne.Jeaane's eyes immediately fell on Creeping Cat. She was surprised to see her trapped, because like Sindbad she spurted out a strong demonic aura. Unfortunately, it was not particularly advantageous for Jeanne to be in the room now, as many police officers were approaching the room and Myako ran in front of them, who had noticed that many things did not go according to plan and because of that she had changed all plans and quickly a few more new traps, like the one in the Creeping Cat, had been set for the longest time since it had long since freed itself.
"Surrender both of you! You have no chance of escaping and stealing the frame!" Myako called to Creeping Cat and Jeanne. They were now surrounded by police officers.
"Make me do it!" suddenly came the voice of Creeping Cat. It gave everyone present a shiver because it sounded inhuman.
° Uuuh, how scary. Who is this person? She must be a demon for sure. I don't think a person would speak like that. She deserves to be called a cat. Already because of this voice, which would certainly sound the same if a Kate suddenly started to speak ° Myako thought now unsettled, but she quickly regained her composure and ordered the policemen to circle Creeping Cat and Jeanne closer. The police reluctantly obeyed their orders.
° Damn shit! I thought that they would be scared by my voice changed by the scarf. I am not allowed to be caught. I owe that to my parents. Even if I have to hurt the cops, I'll definitely grab the frame and go! °
She began to hiss like an angry cat, trying to scare the police officers after all. They winced in fear but did not stop their attack.
Meanwhile, Sindbad had hurried to the room. He hadn't noticed anything from Creeping Cat's conversation, but he saw how the two were encircled more closely and he saw how Jeanne was frozen in fear.Without thinking he drew the attention of the two of them with the shout "Jeanne, grab the frame!" on yourself.
Through the call from Sindbad, Jeanne found herself again. ° I definitely have to banish the demon in the frame. Otherwise Jeanne will die. And if that demon or whatever that person is trying to prevent it, he's going to get into quite a bit of trouble. Again I won't let him scare me! ° While she was thinking that, she jumped over the cops and landed right in front of the frame. Immediately she jumped aside, seeing something metallic coming towards her from the side. That metal thing was Creeping Cat's metal claw.
° Damn it. ° thought Creeping Cat. ° I really must have put a bad luck curse on myself. Or is it maybe because Shioranu is not there? I usually don't have to fight with my friends. If Shioranu were here, I wouldn't need to hurt Jeanne or anyone else trying to stop me. °
Suddenly she heard an all too familiar voice in her head: "Is there someone calling me? Should I help you?"
° Shioranu! ° Creeping Cat thought, relieved. But immediately she struck an angry tone in her head. ° Yes, you should move your ass over here right now! ° "Nope. Not before you say what is appropriate in such a situation." ° Please ° she thought rather contrite.
Suddenly there was the deafening sound of breaking glass and splinters falling to the floor. A black motorcycle broke through the upper window of the room, its crackling engine making even more noise. Everyone present winced in surprise and sometimes fearfully when the driver, who was also dressed in black, drove the vehicle through the ranks of the police. In panic, no one noticed that Creeping Cat grabbed the frame and jumped onto the motorcycle with ease. She sat down directly behind the driver, whose face could not be clearly seen because of the motorcycle helmet, and clung to him with one hand while holding the frame with the other.Although Jeanne only caught a glimpse of the driver, she immediately recognized a powerful demon in him.
The driver let the engine roar and drove off again. At first Jeanne thought that they would never get out of here without problems, but the vehicle rolled at a tremendous speed over a kind of ramp that was leaning against one of the exhibition tables, and sped with full force through one of the lower windows.
Sindbad was just as surprised by the sight. He too had felt the strong demonic aura from the demon. However, the ones who were most surprised were Myako and the cops, as they had seen absolutely no rider on the motorcycle. Myako, who had recovered from the horror first, looked around, but there was no trace of Jeanne or Sindbad to be seen. ° That's good. They escaped ° she thought with relief, because she was very worried when she noticed that everything wasn't going according to plan. In particular, her heart tightened when she saw Jeanne being attacked by Creeping Cat. Impatient as she was, she couldn't wait to talk to Jeanne and Sindbad and find out what was going on.
