Chapter 98 (1/2)

Turning around, a golden furred beast reigned there

That beast's body standing on 4 legs was elegant and, the fangs peeking out looked ferocious enough to bite apart even rocks

I had ier but, this isn't either of those

「……Fox!」

It ht not have, it cast a sharp glance at me

I had to half closein away

And so I noticed

……Nine!!

Nine tailed fox!!

「……Behind me, Saira」

I softly called out to Saira, frozen in place with her fur standing on end

While sing her saliva, she slowly circled behind my back as directed

Froht……do I fight?

While it's regrettable I don't have even a little sense that I'll win

The nine tails observed us with a look that I soence frouess

It's not a distance where I could turna beast please attack me so it's out of the question

I don't have radually backing ahilevisual contact

If we co to stare at eachother perhaps I could wait for the other party to lose interest and leave

「……Saira, let's, slowly back away」

「Ha, hai desu」

Fighting isn't realistic

Slowly, take distance while confronting the other side and back away――then

Fuuuuuuuu!!

Raising a groaning voice, nine tails closed in one step

Does it have no intention of letting us escape?

……Can't be helped

「I'll becoesture to Saira as she stayed in the rear with as much distance as she could open, I to the contrary took a step forward

Nature's logic, the strong eat the weak

Whether that ht to the death just as the words imply

For soic power

Therefore released ic poon't return

But, it hasn't absorbed even the ic power stored within this body

There should be a way to fight

I picked up a rock fallen atto observeany motion, I threw that with an underhand throw

This sort of thing, with the amount I wound up to throw it doesn't amount to much

As the small rock drew a parabola, the nine tails divided its attention

It's soardless

「Fuu!」

I did a full power dash at that point as if crawling on the ground

Iility up, I went into nine tails's breast like a bullet

Passing through its front legs, I slid under its sto punches into its virtually defenseless sto, I continued to roll out and took my distance for theits body, faces toward e

Looking with a sharp gaze, it seeh

……This really isn't a normal animal is it, this

Since I wouldn't expect a siic

What to do

While I'ic power that quickly

「Behindat eachother and, this time nine tails's fore of ht the opponent's claith indirect vision

「Kuu!」

Bending round, I evaded the front leg's side swipe

Dangerous!

This, if it was oneechan her breast would have had an accident!

……Me?

Fortunately that didn't happen

Continuing my flip in thatmy posture

But the opponent closed in tobackward is i body, I took ai opponent and rapidly accelerated

I passed by the bewildered nine tails as if I had phased through it

As if I was paying a transit fee, I struck ed but, was the sensation of pain on level with static electricity I guess?

「Zee, zee……」

I finally returned to a deadlocked confrontation again

……The staht is intense isn't it

Nine tails carefully observed hly

I had an abnor

I want to pound Eclair's Flaic power

――As I was pondering, nine tails' body was suddenly bloay

It received some sort of attack, from its side

I rotated my head while dumbfounded

「I also, this much!」

While Saira nervously breathed heavily, her hands had soun, Saira!?

「Mana・Revolver desu nya!」

A un is it!

Certainly, that burst of force was soical

I incredible in terms of battle power!?

However Saira's eyes swaaze

「But……the problem is that the bullets require too ic power put into each and every bullet it can't fire nya……」

「That, that so」

Don'tthat it isn't practical, I think it's an incredible great invention

And so like I'd let this chance, get away!

I delivered a follow up attack as, the nine tails stuood punch

「Cast release! Flaulfed nine tails

Eclair's flame isn't tepid you know, nine tails!

Since if it's attack power it's above my own!

Wrapped in flaht it down but, the effect really was cut in half

The e is?

「――It doesn't hurt」

I was astonished, at the third party's voice that shouldn't be here

While thinking it was iazed at the voice'sbizarre My child said a hu from the sky so, I wondered what it was」

The nine tails raised its body like it was bothered

「An adorable elf e is it? Somehow it doesn't seem to be the case that you have business with me does it」

「It, it talked」

「You speak like a fool, elf I would have you not put ory as those other anient eyes but, this was outside my expectations……

And so I suddenly felt bad

「A, ano」

「Nn? What is it?」

「To start with, I'h so, I attacked……If you want a heal, I can do that so」

While stroking the Caster Glove on ize

「I, I I, I as well I aic gun and, frenetically lowered her head

With this development I don't knoho the random attacker is……

But since I didn't think I could talk to an aninificant I ary over each and every trivial act of human children」

What a tolerant fox-san!

But nine tailed foxes don't give anything but a rather troublesoends that I know and the other world's reality?

Or perhaps……

「Thank you very much」

But realistically the best option is to avoid coht now

「I don't dislike children with properI suppose, normally when a rat is cornered like that by a cat it'll also bite back, isn't that right?」

「That's, so, isn't it」

That so bathed in cold water

That massive wide open mouth could, s a person whole without inconvenience couldn't it

……Nine tailed fox is it

「……We, just want to leave this forest Could you let us through?」
