89 Episode 89 "Extra Part 8" Rita and Patrol and "Complete Beast Mode" ".txt (1/2)

...... around here, no one will ever see you.

Once I informed Cecil of my surroundings, I left the cave...

A short distance away from there, in the shadow of a tree, Rita stopped.

Activate the ”Presence Detection” - no dangerous reaction.

The only thing I can sense is the presence of Cecil and Reggie at the entrance of the cave. And this place where we are right now should be a dead zone from there as well. Okay, okay.

Rita leaned against a tree and took a deep breath.

The sun had long since gone down and it was dim around here.

There was no sound of birds or animals. Maybe they're just trying to keep us on our toes.

The air is cool.

Rita rubs her hands together for a moment and then claps her hands together, as if to get herself together.

We made sure that the area around the cave was safe.

But there is always the possibility that things could go wrong. I need to look around a bit more to protect you and your master.

Because you never know what could happen during the night.

Even now, Master (Nagi) should be ”readjusting” Iris and Rafilia. It's a necessary and important thing for a slave to do, and it's ...... like a blessing. Even I, Nagi will 'reconfigure' my abilities──not because I didn't, but because I don't know when she will.

You have to keep the surroundings as safe as possible, right?

But even for a beastman, there's only a limited range that can be reached on human feet. This form isn't suitable for running around the entire mountain. I'm going to need a more suitable form.

''Since it's ......, I'll have to use the skills Nagi gave me.

Rita takes another deep breath.

You might think I'm being persistent, but I activate 'presence of mind' once more.

─ No problem. Look to your right, look to your left ...... okay?　No one saw that, did they?

What do I do? I can't believe I have to get naked here .......

It's embarrassing. I wonder what Nagi would think if he saw me.

Wouldn't they think I'm a beast and have that kind of taste?

You wouldn't be ...... to hate it, would you?　I'd rather say ”guggy”. But the next time Rita is asked to wear that outfit ...... when they are alone together - I won't say no, but I can't say no .......

Oh my God. What am I thinking? Nagi would never say anything like that!

Bunch-bunch-bunch!

Rita shakes out her golden hair. What a solitary game.

Enough. I'm ready. It's for everyone's safety.

Rita put her hands on the buttons of her clothes.

She put her arms behind her back and slowly unfastened them one by one.

Rita's 'fighting priest's clothes' are designed for ease of movement. If you unbutton the buttons on your back and undo the sash, it all falls off under your feet with a thud.

After that, you're on the spur of the moment. As if to shake off her hesitation, Rita half-closes her eyes and removes the underwear that covers her breasts. The last piece of clothing is pulled down from the leg with a shuffle - exposing the skin to the night air.

The white skin that emerges in the dimness. I know that no one is watching, but I can't help but hold my chest.

Sooner or later──I have to change into another form...

''Activate ...... 'Complete Beastification (Beast Mode) LV1' ......

Rita murmured to herself, as if she were talking about something else.

The moment she said aloud. The moment you say it aloud, the white skin becomes faintly illuminated.

This is a skill that was born when you 'engaged' with Nagi, the proof that you became Nagi's for all time, because you remembered that time.

'No, I'm not!　It's just cold!

The figure of Rita, who unintentionally ran out of her mouth, is──changing.

The pure white ”divine power” envelops the body.

The golden tail stretches out. The pure white ”divine power” changes into a golden light.

In that light, just like a shadow puppet, Rita's humanoid form turns into a four-legged beast. Golden body hair wraps around her white body. As if to confirm the sensation of the body, the shadow puppet Rita trembles.

Eventually, when the light disappears - Rita's figure has changed into a wolf with golden body hair.

”...... success, is it?

Rita, the beast, turned her head to check her appearance.

Yeah. It worked.

Well, there's no way I'm going to fail. It's a skill Nagi gave me.

”Total Beastification (Beast Mode) Lv 1.

Rita changes into a full beast form.

While she is changing into a beast, her muscle strength, instantaneous strength, and five senses increase.

Her ability to move is several times greater than normal.

Also, you can use the Divine Force Force even while in this state, which will continue to strengthen your body. By concentrating Sacred Power in his upper body, he can literally make his body hit like a bullet.

You can use it once a day.

Note that if you're wearing clothes when you activate it, it will be torn. Please note.

'...... Nagi, you didn't see that, did you?'

I can't hear his voice, but I can feel his presence.

It seems that the important and precious master is at the back of the cave.

Thank goodness ......, Rita gave a small sigh.

Nagi still hasn't seen Rita using 'Complete Beastification'. She said it should be a very beautiful beast ......, but I was a little worried ...... about how she would react if she actually saw it.

Nope. It's not anxiety, it's just that I'm not prepared for it. I'm such a wimp, I'm such a wimp.

Rita scratched the ground crisply with the beast's paws.

Bending and stretching her body, raising and lowering her hind legs - her body seems to be able to move freely. Thanks to the skills being activated, the use of this body will be able to properly enter your mind.

Most importantly, this figure gives me a good idea of what's going on around me.

The temperature of the ground. The movement of the wind. The position of the trees that cover the mountain. The position of the trees on the mountain.

'Well then, Rita Melpheus is going to make her rounds. 'Master.'

Muttering this in her mind, Rita took off running.

The wind whistled, gurgling in her ears.

It was incomparably faster than when she was in her beastly form.

Fast. Every time she kicked the ground once, the scenery around her flew backwards.

The feel of the earth. The smell of grass. The smell of trees.

All of these things show Rita the way. She knows where to go and where to go through. Even in the mountains, where the trees are thick, there is no way you're going to bump into them. Just when you want to run........your body starts to move on its own. It's amazing. It was like I had become a real beast.

Her four legs are gripping the ground tightly.

Kicking. Jump. She's not running... I'm running.

In the blink of an eye, Rita had reached the side of the collapsed ”foggy valley” in no time.

I'm going to listen to the ears of the beast - a sign - was there.

Up in the sky.

Above the sky where the moon shone, a flying dragon was dancing. It's spreading its large wings and circling.

They can't see us. And I don't feel any hostility.

The Flying Dragon has a sad voice. It's as if it's taking a shot at someone. Or rather, that voice sounds like something I've heard before. If you look closely, you can see that its wings are a bit damaged. You can see that its wings are scorched.

That flying dragon wouldn't attack us. It's because he gave Master the Blood Crystal. That was like an oath. It's safe.

Returning her gaze from overhead to the ground, Rita looked at the crumbling 'Valley of Mist'.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

The treasure guarded by the mummy of the flying dragon that was underneath is now in the hands of the master.

If used well, it might be able to influence the flying dragon and the dragon's attendants, but Nagi doesn't seem to have any desire to do so. I'm going to rent out the Ilgafa lord family's villa for a while, place the 'Heavenly Dragon Egg' there and leave the rest alone. I won't divulge my secrets to anyone, nor do I plan to brag about it to anyone.

Maybe it's because Nagi is struggling in his former world, but he basically wants to be a 'sloth'.

But he's a good-natured and hard-working person, so he can't help but think, ”It can't be helped,” and end up helping someone else.

I love such a master - I love him. Whenever I hear that line, I want to hug him.

I love and adore the master who controls me.

Waving, Rita shakes the body of the beast.

Because of the body hair that covers the entire body, I don't feel the slightest bit of cold. It's rather warm.

Beastmen live somewhere between a wild beast and a man. Nagi probably drew that beast's strength from inside Rita. This body that has been running as fast as it can, and yet it's not even out of breath. There's still plenty of room for more.

I'm sure that if I keep running like this, I'll go far.

For example, over those mountains, and everywhere else. I could run through the streets and beyond the horizon.

Maybe even across the border of this country, to a land that no one knows about...

”There is no such thing as .......

Rita laughed, still in her beastly form.

That's impossible. I can see that.

We are only a short distance away from the Nagi, but I'm missing you so much.

You can't see it from here, the cave on top of the mountain. I'm looking for any sign of Nagi, who should be there.

It's as if there is an invisible chain.

It is connected to the depths of my being, spinning, stretched out.

I can feel it.

Maybe it's because I'm in the form of a beast, but right now I have a predominance of instinct.

I feel like I can do things I normally couldn't do now.

I want to go back.

I want to go home. I want to hug Nagi. I want to stick with you. I want to snuggle nose to nose.

”But just a little bit more.

It's important to make sure we're safe.

Rita returned the spiral and the cobwebs and started to run down the mountainside.

After a while, the beast's ears caught another sign of life, with a twitch.

There it is. A demon was found.

”GURUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

What came into view was a black beast. Red eyes that seemed to sparkle and burn.

It's a black hound, right?

Blackhound.

A beast that resembles a dog.

However, it is less than 3 meters in size. It is believed to be a wild dog turned into a monster.

Its weapons are its fangs and its ability to move fast enough to hit people.

Beginners should avoid fighting it.

''GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAA!

This area was probably a navvy.

The blackhound runs towards Rita. Zigzagging through the trees. It opened its huge mouth, like it was about to bite through a golden beast.

'...... slow.'

With a shudder, Rita's body was shaken.

The golden beast - the fangs that were going to bite into Rita, bite the air with a crunch.

You can find a lot of people who have been in the same situation.

It sniffs. His eyes widen. The black dog looks up.

The golden beast was above the black hound's head (...).

Even though it was in the form of a beast, Rita's 'Divine Power Seizure' was still alive and well. It didn't matter that she used that power to kick trees and soar into the air. The same might be possible for a black hound. But his combat experience is different. The idea is different. Even if he becomes a beast, he's a beastman inside.

”Don't you dare to think less of Soma-Nagi's slave!

”GU, GUAA......

”Wahhhh, wahhhh, wahhhh, wahhhh... ──────!

Rita's howl is enough to cancel out the blackhound's voice.

The blackhound, having taken the overhead advantage, stiffened involuntarily. Rita's front legs cleaved its torso. The blackhound's body was blown away. It whirled around, crushing grass, snapping branches, and being slammed into trees.

Then the demon, foaming at the mouth and crumbling down, had completely lost its will to fight.

'A......GU......Aa'

A black dog, tail curled up, desperately begging for its life.

Rita sniffed, huffing and puffing.

Before she knew it, she could feel the other demons approaching. But he's the only one in danger around here. The rest are all small things that Rita can't even touch. They are all too frightened to come closer.

The black hound shows its belly and poses in complete submission. His body has a tree branch stuck in it, and one of his paws is pointing in a strange direction. In any case, this injury wouldn't cause any harm to anyone. It would be easier to stab him with a lash, but the blackhound wants to live.

Rita shakes her head, 'Go,' and gets rid of the seriously injured demon.

I can feel the faint smell of blood on my nose. Disgusting. The blood of the demon has gotten on my body.

''I want to go back to ....... ......

I'm going to miss you so much.

I've made sure it's safe.

I want to go home. I want to go home now and ask Nagi to praise me.

Rita kicked the ground in the form of the beast.

The golden beast ran up the slope of the mountain. Concentrate the 'Divine Power' into its upper body. The power to blow away any enemy coming at you without question. But no one can come close to Rita anymore. It looks like the black hound from earlier was the master of the demons around here.

Fearful of Rita, who defeated it in an instant, demons are bowing down here and there.

But Rita doesn't pay any attention to that.

All she can think about is her master. I'm going straight home, even if it's only a second sooner. That's all.

”...... Huh?

As I ran for any sign of Nagi, before I knew it, Rita had passed the cave.

That's strange. Nagi, he's not in the cave from earlier, is he?

Rita runs further up the mountain.

The scent of the nutcracker comes closer.

After a while, they found the entrance to a small cave.

It was the one Rita had found earlier when she was looking around. A bath for the 'welfare' of the demon race and the ancient elves, I think.

Faintly smells of water. Warm, the smell of steam.

Rita's instincts got the better of her and she dove straight into the cave.

Beyond the vaguely bright hole. The master is there...

”Rita?　Is the patrol over?

There he was.

Nagi was sitting by the spring at the back of the cave, stirring the water.

Reggie, in human form, was attached to his back, murmuring, ”I wonder if we're there yet, I wonder if we're there yet.

At the back of the cave, which is about the length of a house hallway, is a small little room.

There was a spring the size of a household bath. It seemed to have been made by hollowing out the rocks using ancient technology. The surrounding walls were covered in orange lines that glowed here and there. When the goat touches them, the light becomes stronger and steam rises from the spring. Water constantly pours from the walls into the fountain, and the overflowing water flows out of the gaps in the cave. It was a 'boiling spring' that made use of nature.

I'm sure Rafilia told you about it. This spring is for the demon race and ancient elves to bathe in.'

It seems that he's using the residual magic from the Valley of the Mist, and when he pours his magic power into it, it becomes just as warm as human skin.

I'm sure the Tanimoto body has collapsed, so it won't be able to be used after all.

...... Nagi really likes to take a bath, doesn't she?

But that's what I like about it.

It's good that you like to keep things clean. He or she will prepare a proper bath for me and Cecil-chan as well - and then Rita realized that she was still in the form of a beast.

Her body involuntarily starts to tremble.

Out of instinct, she ran to me, ”I want to see Nagi,” so I forgot about it. I'd forgotten.

What should I do?

Nagi has seen me like this.

My beastly form changed after Full Beastification. A golden beast. I've fought my way through the woods, and I've run through the forest, and the dirt and the branches are stuck to me. I'm so embarrassed. What am I going to do? If you call me strange, if you say I'm strange...

Rita, can I get a fluffy one?

”...... wow?

You're so pretty, I'd love to rub your back, if you don't mind.

Rita's favorite master, who reaches out to her willy-nilly.

Rita can't help but sigh. I feel like an idiot. What was I worried about ......?

Shaking off her timid self, Rita reflexively assumes a 'prone' position.

It is easy to understand how Nagi knew at a glance that it was Rita. It's because of the collar.

The collar created by the ”master-slave contract” does not change even if Rita changes into the form of a beast. It stretches and contracts freely, and holds Rita's neck.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I feel like an idiot. I'm Nagi's, and Nagi is my master. No matter what I look like, it doesn't change. Why was I so worried?

I'm just going to be with her. I'm going to be with her.

”I see. I'm sure you've been using the ”Full Beast Mode” for a while now. Good work.

”...... wow

Rita's voice is not a word.

Because beasts and people have different vocal organs. But the words uttered are a spoiled sound.

Rita, the beast, clears her throat while Nagi's fingers muffled her back. I feel like I'm going to fall asleep.

Mmmm. I can't take it anymore!

splash

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of water.

Startled, I looked up and saw that Leggy, in human form, had just jumped into the spring.

Inside the cave, steam was rising from the water.

The 'bathing system' created by the demon race and the ancient elves had been activated by Nagi's magical power and turned the spring into moderately hot water.

''Hmmm. Hmmm. I can't stand it!

”Reggie, it's you. Don't jump in here while we're talking, no questions asked.

'What? The Lord promised to bathe with you in the 'Valley of the Mist'!
