Thanks for the chapter!
You know, Leo has similar markings as Tama. I wonder if he was a behemoth (albeit older) too? Although would be a real stretch if Leo had the soul of a reincarnator who retained their memories as a bipedal sentient too.
@Mxc Yeah and Aria is calling Tama a spirit cat. Granted Leo might be an elemental cat with ability to grow but that was the kidnapper guessing and she seemed surprised he could grow. I'm just saying that considering Leo's abilities, coloring and pattern are similar to Tama's that he might really be a behemoth too. His partner might be like Aria in misguessing his species or is deliberately hiding his identity to avoid fear, panic, and some idiot putting a subjugation order on him solely based on his species. Would explain his intelligence and abilities. After all, elemental species tend to focus on one element for all their magic, skills, and abilities like a phoenix only using fire and not earth or water. Also, getting bigger isn't really an element based ability.
