The atmosphere again calmed down between the two for a while. Anna is still trying to take things slowly. What had happened could not easily be accepted, Anna still needed time to understand the mystical things related to the creator figure.
"But by the way, is this a real house?" asked Anna, who suddenly changed the subject so that she could melt the atmosphere.
"Eung! Yeah. Of course it's a real house. I bought it very expensive," Howl said.
"Don't lie! Your house is on Jiri Mountain, right? It's Seoul …" Anna said, looking disbelieving at Howl.
"Why don't you trust people?" Howl asked howl, feeling annoyed at being suspected.
"You're not human." Anna said.
Soon Howl was slapped by reality.
"Ah! That's right. I'm not human. Why don't you believe in the gods?" Howl said again questioning Anna. Howl really doesn't want to lose.
"Eung! I still don't believe in the gods or anything.
"It's up to you, it's none of my business. When you're done, can you go? "I still have work to do." Howl tried to drive Anna away, which made her feel upset.
"Wait a minute. I still have questions," Anna said.
"What else?"
"This morning I received a report on the mass death of a stray cat. Until now, my suspicions were that someone deliberately administered cyanide poison to a stray cat, but I had a hard time finding the culprit. So … Can you help me find the son of a bitch?" Anna asked by putting on a cute face to persuade Howl.
"It's good. Don't use your kindness. Humans do like to walk when they are given good. Don't know yourself!" said Howl cynically.
"Cih!"
Anna is annoyed by Howl's arrogant attitude that makes her speechless. Then Anna folded back the blanket that was used to warm her body. After that Anna rushed, walking towards the exit.
"Thank you for the tea." Anna said before she opened the door and walked out of Howl's house.
Anna is shocked again, because Howl said 'If this house is real', it's not a lie.
"Woah … Turns out he's not lying, it's a really fancy apartment. It sucks!" murmured Anna, then continued her steps.
"Why is it so difficult to communicate with him?"
Howl breathes a tired sigh after listening to Anna's past stories. Leaning his back against the couch, quietly staring at the ceiling of his house. He's been on earth for thousands of years, meeting all sorts of human traits, somehow dealing with Anna feels different.
But suddenly the doorbell of his apartment rang. It's for the first time. Get off the couch—Howl saw the monitor screen next to the bathroom. He was shocked when he saw Anna's face so close. The chatty lady's back again.
"What's he doing back again?"
"Please open the door! I have something to talk about!" Anna said in a forceful tone.
One breath of fresh air tells oneself to be patient with one human being who makes him clutter. Howl walks up to the door of his apartment. An unusual facial expression—like a fool, Anna walked right into her house.
Howl's patience begins to wear out, seeing Anna's attitude that so disparages her without fear. Anna seems to forget the fact that Howl is a god. Howl closes the door again—attaching Anna, who is already sitting on the sofa, acting as if this is her own.
"Sit down! I want to explain one weird case." Anna said.
It's strange to hear herself being commanded by a useless human like Anna. It's obvious he's a god and she's just a human being usually filled with many sins. But without fear the woman's mouth is so easy to command.
"Are you telling me now?" Howl asked.
"Ahh…"
Anna immediately realizes the unpleasant aura that emerges from Howl's back.
She hurried to his feet politely—put her head down and said, "Sorry… I forgot."
Howl grunted and he said, "Sit down!"
They sit together on the couch—looking at each other seriously.
"What case?"
"Did you catch the cursed creature that once attacked me?" Anna asked.
"Not yet. You think it's easy?! He's very smart, if that thing isn't smart, then maybe he can escape from hell." Howl said.
"Okay. I understand. But I want to complain!" Anna said with a serious look on her face as she raised one of her hands—along with her forehead.
"Complaint? You want to complain to me?"
"Yeah! You said you were a guardian deity. But why did you let dozens of street cats die?" Anna asked.
"I told you earlier. Death is not my power. Why are you complaining to me, complaining to the one above the sky!" Howl's resentment—gives Anna a cynical look at him as a god.
"I've had cases and these reports come in several times, about the mysterious death of street cats. I've found out, in the area around the discovery of a dead cat, but I didn't get anything. It's like the perpetrator is very smart to lose track of his crime." Anna said.
"Is this in District 8?" Howl asked.
"Yes. Why do you know?" Anna asked—surprised in wonder.
"Of course. I'm the one who filed the report with the police. I've come directly to the local police station several times. But they don't care about the fate of those street cats at all. And now you've come to ask me for help?" Howl asked.
"Yeah. You're a god. You must know who did this, right? But why didn't you tell them right away?" Anna asked in an upset tone.
Howl completely loses his word when he listens to Anna's words that sound like he's responsible for the death of a street cat.
"Would they believe me if I brought the culprit before them?" Howl asked.
Instantly making Anna freeze still can't make a defense for herself.
"You're a police officer, isn't it your job to find out and arrest the perpetrator? How funny are you asking me for help?"
Howl's innuendo that feels like she's being slapped with a reality that pisses herself off. It is true, she seems to be accusing and asking Howl for an answer just because Howl is an angel.
"But… Why is it that the gods are so cruel to let innocent cats die because of bad humans? Don't cats also have the right to live? I just feel sorry for them. They just want to survive among the greedy humans, they just want to eat. but... but …"
Anna couldn't contain her grief, she cried when she came back to imagine how unfortunate fate was for the wild animals out there. Especially cats.
