Thanks for the translation.
But seriously Author, you can't even let the girl win against a couple of randos on her own without Abel accidentally saving her? Giving a couple of nameless nobodies willingness to risk being killed after seeing her essentially shoot a pistol right next to them to capture her? It's not like they even need to save face or anything or would need to run off scared of her normally, but having it be that the author will pull out nameless characters out of the street to threaten the girls in such a way that they're completely helpless and only Abel can save them just kills tension. Heck, you could have had them kinda run off, maybe with a vague "Watch your back!" sorta threat they make for their pride, she is happy with herself and then Abel's attack comes in and reminds her that she still has a long way to go, could even have a little background gag where the two guys were suddenly running away after the blast to still put Abel on top if you must while still letting her have a small victory of her own. I know it's nothing new here, but this chapter just especially grinds my gears, there's no sense of real character for the people around Abel because any progress the girls (or Ted) make will always be undercut or undermined by Abel having to save them or fight the real enemies. Blah, I'm rambling.
