The Kangaroo/History

Background
The kangaroo was observing outside his hotel as everything begins to get worse every day; crime increases, cases of prostitution and drug sales are worse. A dog who friend of his arrives at his workplace, and comments that despite everything, the place is quite crowded by tourists. The kangaroo comments that this is probably why he has not yet left that place. At that time a black panther named Meg arrived at the hotel asking for a room discreet enough as not to raise suspicions. Although this made the manager a little alarmed, he agreed to have her as a tenant, because she thought it was normal for him to have that kind of clients, considering the dangerous place the hotel was located in. As she was settled in her room, Meg began to hum a song from her window. The manager, upon hearing it, knew that she was a minor. That same night the kangaroo went shopping with the dog, talking about everything that has happened in his town and about the new tenant he has. Without realizing it, they almost end up entering the town's black market, a rather dangerous place for herbivores. The kangaroo tells the dog that if he one day finds him roasted whole in the market, to please buy him.

The next day he went to his room to do the cleaning, but as he found Meg inside, he asked her to please ignore him while he did that. She looked for a topic of conversation and asked him why there were so many police officers outside. He tells her it's because of the criminal organization Blakkus who decided to make this part of the town their base. He commented that if someone turns a Blakkus member in to the police dead or alive, they would get a reward of 500,000 yen. She asks him what he would do if he had that money, and he says that he would remodel the hotel to better his business and buy some delicious food. Out of curiosity the kangaroo asked her what would she do if she could take the reward, and she tells him that she would buy a couple of ciders, the kind which previously he had given her. Seeing that he wasted a lot of time talking, he gets back to cleaning, but is quickly stopped by Meg who warns him not to touch her suitcase. This raised suspicions a little, but he continued and left the place.

A few days later, Meg was leaving the hotel, but before that she was having a card game with the manager. Meanwhile, on the news they see that the police had captured the entire Blackkus group, but were not able to find the kidnapped victim's corpse. A member of the group testified that they had given it to a carnivore. Meg upon hearing this gets nervous and tries to quickly escape the manager's gaze, but is stopped by him, and he asks her if she is their "mule". The kangaroo takes out his pistol and chases Meg to her room. After entering her dark room, he could only see her eyes and points the pistol at her directly. After seeing how childish and innocent she looked watching the fireworks, he thought it coldly and refuses to shoot her. He lets her go with the warning that if he sees her again carrying bodies around, he will kill her. He tells her she is too young to be making enemies and to leave and take her suitcase with her. After the panther disappeared into the darkness, the kangaroo made prayer for her to be happy in the following years and to keep admiring the beauty of fireworks.
