Those were just some of the lovely traits attributed to Khae by the higher-ups of hero society. Officials took quite a bit of pride in their rules and regulations, and when someone disregarded them, it didn’t really go over well. This was why they had suffered through quite a bit of headache dealing with one Khae Thawan, a Thai-British woman who quite literally came back from the dead, and who only seemed to want to cause misery for those who enforced the rules.

Of course, Khae couldn’t care less.

A hero license to her was convenience, nothing else. It allowed her to do her thing without being hounded by other heroes so utterly convinced of the unassailableness of the law that they would rather waster their efforts hunting those who exercised their powers against villains without a license rather than using that time to deal with villains. It was enough to make her smile with bitterness; she just didn’t get these people, and it filled her with scorn to see them pushing their nonsense ideals onto those who want nothing to do with them.

Oh, but look at her, getting all worked up over nothing when she was meant to be enjoying herself! With a small sigh and a shake of her head, she kept on walking; she wouldn’t let some pencil-pushing pillock ruin her day!

Indeed, she had once again had a run-in with the law after she broke and entered to bust a man’s drug distribution operation without any sort of warrant. The man was distributing vast amounts of drugs, of course, but some twit had got on her case about acting without permission. She promptly told him to bugger off.

And after that annoying experience, she needed to get away from government officials, and the city… and people in general. Really, despite what her personality may suggest, even she needed some time to herself every once in a while. Especially if some damned, annoying-!

She pinched the bridge of her nose. She was getting worked up. Again. Sighing once more, she chose instead to direct her attention outward, towards the beautiful pond she had stopped by. A few solitary rays of sunshine hit the crystalline waters, surrounded on all sides by comfy-looking grass that she just had to lie on. And lie she did, flopping back onto the soft grass, the experience was better than any bed. Maybe she should fall asleep here…

But out of the corner of her eye, a fox! It stared at her from the bushes with the anxiety one would expect from a wild animal, but Khae offered it a small smile. Gesturing with her hand, she would speak in a soft, almost hushed voice.

“Come on, no need to be shy. I won’t hurt you, sweetie~.”

It was safe to say that she was entirely focused on getting the fox within arm’s reach for unknown reasons. So focused on the task at hand, she wouldn’t realise that she was being watched…
