esan…!”

“Sorry doesn’t cut it! Besides, how do you think the others felt when the boss’s own sister made such a screw up, huh!?”
 

Seeing her angry like this, I thought she was one scary boss.
As such, I decided to stealthily exit the tent for the time being.

“And you, who the hell are you?”

Oh no, she noticed me!

“I don’t know why yer here, but don’t think a human can simply waltz in here scot-free.”

“L-Lili-neesan, she’s the one who help me break out of where I was imprisoned!”

“Didn’t you stop and think that maybe that’s all just a ploy for the humans to know where we live!?”

“Hiii!!”

She seemed to be a highly cautious person.
But then again, a boss who was responsible for the lives of those in her gang needed to be, I suppose.

“T-there’s nothing to be worried about me, Boss-san.”

“…hmph, your scent tells me you don’t have any ill intentions, so I won’t cut you down…for now.”

Lili-san looked awfully like Lala-san, so maybe she was Lala-san’s actual older sister.

“I’m Luke.”

“Wait, isn’t that a boy’s name?”

“Yeah, well—”

“You’re lucky you’re a girl, you know.
The moment a man, even if they’re still a child, enters our community, they’ll be sentenced to death, no questions asked.”

“—eh?”

Did I mishear or did she really just say a very unsettling thing?

“Men will be killed on the spot?”

“The men and women of the catlike beastmen live separately.
We can invite some men into our settlement on special occasions, but outside of those times, yes, men are executed right away.”

So, that’s why there are only women in this place…

“Why are you scaring her like that, Lili-neesan?”

Lala-san interjected like that, but deep inside, I was already in cold sweat.

T-they absolutely must not know that I’m a man.
I’ve got to continue being a girl here!

“See, it’s this lack of cautiousness of yours that allowed you to get caught in that trap! For all we know, he’s a man dressing up like a girl.”

“Oh, come on, just look at her.
There’s no way a girl as cute as her can be a man, right!?”

…sorry, I am actually a man.
