160 Episode 160 "I asked the beastmens style from the two rescued children.".txt (1/2)

This is Totori from the Nerham clan of beastmen.

'Thank you for your help!　This is my sister Rutri!

The beastly children called themselves that.

They were tiny children. In my world, they would have been in the upper grades of elementary school. They both had orange hair and slightly droopy ears. Their tails were short and bushy.

They both looked upset for a while after being rescued, and they were clinging to Rita the whole time. I guess they feel more comfortable when the same beastman is around.

It wasn't until we went out on the street and moved away from the 'Abandoned Goblin Village' that I was able to talk about myself. I was still giving Rita a squeaky hug, though.

As we drove in the carriage, the girls (who were twins) began to tell me a little more about what was going on.

They said they were a clan of beastmen who settled in a nearby forest.

There are two tribes of beastmen, one that settles and socializes normally with other humans and sub-humans, and the other is a tribe of beastman supremacy that hunts and moves around.

The clan of the twins, Totori and Lutri, were a 'settled tribe', and they normally exchanged business and information with the humans of the town and village. Some of them even married humans and other sub-humans of different races.

About fifteen days ago, an unknown beastman broke into the tribe's dwelling place.

It is said that the beastman slipped through security and easily kidnapped the women.

After leaving the village, he revealed his true identity. The figure that he exposed to the frightened pair is...

It was ...... a goblin who was ...... turned into a beastman. ......

...... I could smell it when I got close to it, but ...... turned out to be really good at it. I don't know of any skill like that.

Totori and Lutri explained it to me in that way as they stuttered.

The culprit had taken them to an abandoned village where the goblins had been trapped. After that, the girls were locked up in a hole in the mine.

They could only go out to sunbathe from time to time. They were kept in cages.

When children are kept in a dark cave for a long time, they become weak.

It is necessary to keep them alive until that time, whether it is to use them or kill them - that is what they were told by the ”criminals”.

...... That's scary. ...... That guy changes into many things ......

”I'm going to turn into a big frog ...... and eat you ...... and scare you... ...

They told me with a shudder.

Furthermore, the changing goblins were revered by the other goblins.

So, I think it's safe to say that he's the Wise Goblin.

...... whose purpose is to cause conflict between sub-humans.

Didn't 'Watchful Goblin' say that?

I still don't know why a demon would do such a thing. We don't even know what the ”Wise Goblin” is, or if it's really a goblin. It could be a ”cheat skill possessor,” ”cheat magic possessor,” or a ”gelatinous mysterious creature that changes its shape at will” - these are all possibilities.

I'll reserve judgment.

”...... master.

Rita looked at me with a troubled look on her face.

''Can I deliver these kids to the tribal village?''

Okay.

I said.

Rita was concerned about the 'sub-human conflict' that had been talked about recently.

If these kids are one of the causes of that, then let's return them to the village as soon as possible.

I've retrieved the materials Delilira-san asked for, and I've obtained the skills that the demons dropped. The quest is complete. Now it's free time.

By the way, the quest's harvest was as follows.

8 'Magic Crystal'.

The drop skill 'Thread Move LV3' (from Forest Spider).

The skill to ”move” quickly with the ”thread

We've done enough.

We could at least sneak the children back to the village.

Then you could show me where your village is?

”──────.

Huh?

Totori and Rutri are still clinging to Rita, staring at me in silence.

Could it be that they're ...... alarmed?

You're making your big brother ...... beastly sister a slave (which is ......).

Thank you for saving me. But it's scary to be the one who controls the beastmen. ......

...... It was.

I forgot that Rita is my slave, because we usually live like a family, but she's my slave.

There's a silver collar shining around Rita's neck. Everyone can see that we have a 'master-servant contract'. Is it natural to be wary of someone who controls their own kind? These kids were captured by goblins just now.

''Um, ...... you know what, it's not. Listen up.

Rita sat on the floor of the carriage and patted her twin children on the head.

'These collars were put on me because I wanted them to. I wanted to connect with my master,” she said. This is proof of that. I begged ...... for it and it's not a bad thing, you know?

So you didn't force me?

You don't think he's in control of you...

...... Mm, I've never been forced to ...... anything. Nagi will always ...... gently ...... me.

Rita held her cheeks with a red face.

'But it's weird!'

'Yes. It's weird!

But the kids aren't convinced.

It's not strange. I trust master, and he trusts me too. That's why we were able to save them both.

But it's so far away!

Lutri, the beast child, said.

'Both Lutri and Totori have heard stories of masters and slaves who really trust each other!

''The beast slaves that I really trust are more attached to their masters!

...... Really?

'Yes!'

At the children's words, Rita looked at me as if to ask for help.

...... eh.

From now on, we have to send Rutri and Totori home. We need to find out the location of the village.

And I'm also curious about the Wise Goblin.

If the Goblin has a cheat skill, or if he is really working for the Demon King, then the information from Rutri and the others will be very important.

In order to gain the trust of both of them, I have to go to .......

...... Good.

I sat down next to Rita.

”...... um, yeah.

Rita stands up and sits down next to me.

And then - as if he had made up his mind, he snapped and attached his own shoulder to mine.

You see, you see. Me and my master are attached to each other, right?

No! It's not like the legend.

'The beast slaves who really trust you rub their cheeks!

Oh, really?

Well, I have to try.

Before I knew it, Cecil and Aine were looking at me from the Goshentai.

The two of them, plus the twins. it feels like ...... that the eyes of the four of them are closing in on you with physical pressure.

...... I can't help it. Rita, please.

...... wow.

Smear, smear.

Her golden hair tickles my ear. Rita's cheeks are very hot when I lightly touch them. Because of the battle, Rita's skin is a little sweaty. But it's comfortable. The smooth skin is touching my skin. Rita is slowly moving her body up and down to feel the texture.

Cecil and Aine hold their faces - but they're looking at me through their fingers.

It can't be helped to let the children's guard down, but I'm nervous in public .......

'This is it, isn't it?

I'm not hungry.

'A truly trusting beast slave will 'ahh' at his master!

''Ah!''

Rita's body, which is so close to mine, shakes with a jolt.

Rita and I look at each other unconsciously. I nod at the same time.

That's impossible. I'm just going to go, ”Uh-oh.

Because it's not time for dinner. I don't think I'm ready to eat...

'Miss Aine, you still had some of that dried meat you had in the morning, didn't you?

I saved a piece of bread. Here's a piece of bread. Yes.

From the governor's seat, Cecil and Aine held out a piece of bread with dried meat.

As expected of two good friends and cheats. It was a brilliant coordination play.

'...... wow.'

Rita reaches out and takes it.

...... Huh?

Rita's eyes seem to be starting to glaze over. ......

'Um, Rita?'

”............, my lord. Ha, yes. ”Ah.

Rita holds the torn bread between her fingers and brings it in front of me.

Her fingers are shaking in small increments. The tips of her fingers brush against my teeth and lips.

...... Rita, your eyes are out of focus, are you okay?

”[────]

Exciting.

So, I know Rutri and Totori are staring at you, but why are Cecil and Aine also staring at you?　Why is the carriage stopped before you know it?　How come the horses are still breathing?

Letitia and Cutlass both think they're hiding, but I can see their blue and gray hair through the window. What do you all want me and Rita to do?

'...... master ...... Nagi ...... can't wait to .........' ...yeah.

Rita's eyes are wide open and she's shaking and shaking.

Her beast ears are flattened and her tail is full of bulge. You can clearly see that she is nervous.

If this is the case, it might turn bright red and fall over.

...... I'll take it.

I opened my mouth and put my face forward.

Rita opened her fingers and dropped a piece of bread into my mouth. I closed my mouth and Rita withdrew her fingers at about the same time. Rita's finger, chubby, passed over my lips.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. She's still staring at her finger with a bright red face.

Then, looking at Rutri and Totori--

Well?　Now you know.　It means that I am master's by choice. Master and I have great trust in each other.

Yeah. I believe in Rita, too, and I think she's important. I have no doubt about that, and I can say that with confidence.

It's very embarrassing to say that in public.

Also, Cecil and Aine look satisfied and stop nodding your head in agreement.

I can see Letitia and Cutlass posing with their guts outside the window, too. It's about time for Rita to go over the edge. My cheeks are so hot, it's almost as if I have a fever. Your eyes are starting to lose focus. Your ears and tail are vibrating at a frightening pace.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

Lutri and Totori bowed their heads honestly.

'You just have to understand,'

Good.

Rita is going to go over the edge if she asks for more than this.

''I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. There's a beast slave who believes in each other and his master too...''

I was just really surprised that I wasn't listening to what Totori and the others were saying.

Did you hear that?

Don't do it, Rita. It's not safe to butt in there.
