A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

--I still dream about it.

For a girl named Chris, the “dream” she sometimes sees is nostalgic, nostalgic, and yet it evokes sorrow.

I dream of Chris and his twin sister Tina, a beautiful woman with linen hair stretched to her waist, and a man with a soft smile on his golden hair.

A woman with linen hair has a triangular fox ear on her head and three fluffy tails on her buttocks.The woman was Chris's mother, and the man was his father.

"Uhm... what a cute little girl you are.This isn't going to be beautiful in the future.Definitely. "

"Oh... is that better than me?

Chris' father, who speaks in a dream, caresses his daughters Chris and Tina's head like an important treasure while relaxing their cheeks.Chris wanted to laugh bitterly at the fact that he was a dream event in his mother's face, asking him somehow recklessly about his father.

Hahaha, what are you saying?The most beautiful thing for me is you.But as a male parent, my daughter's cuteness is different.Besides, it is the prerogative of the male parent to imagine that it will be beautiful in the future... No, wait, wait.I just realized something terrible... "

What's wrong?

Both Chris and Tina will be absolutely beautiful in the future.I'm drawing your blood.That's for sure... but then the man won't let go.No, I must have left him alone.I'd rather leave them alone than men... if I thought they'd bring men to be husbands in the future, huh!?

And when Chris heard his father's words, he deepened his bitter smile.

At the time, I didn't know what the conversation meant, and I was happy that my parents were having fun talking.Your hands are warm enough to be stroked with Tina.

--Losing that warmth, which will never come again, will tighten your chest with a bitter smile.

Chris' father was a pharmacist who traveled from the Caldeba continent to Zipang and settled in a village.Though I originally lived a life of selling medicine and walking while traveling, I heard that I could get good quality medicinal herbs near the village, and regularly visited me to live a life of walking around other villages - Chris says.

Chris's father's life changed dramatically when he became obsessed with finding medicinal herbs and stepped deep into the mountain and lost his way.

More than traveling alone, Chris's father remembered quite well.But if you go into the back of an unopened mountain and get lost, your arms won't be so helpful.It helped us get rid of the monsters, but even if they were strong, they wouldn't know the way home.

Even so, Chris' father, who was familiar with wild grass as a pharmacist, spent more than ten days searching for wild grass that could be eaten in the mountains to eat, and finding roads to get extra lost.

I didn't realize that I was supposed to go down the mountain and look for people on the other side of the mountain, and I stepped further into the mountain - it seemed like Chris was only joking.

It was the demonic fox who later became Chris's mother that Chris's father met in the mountains.The demonic fox lived in a mountain far from home in a cautious manner, but was recently attracted to a man wandering around the mountain.

Though I was initially wary of coming to crusade myself, watching Chris' father's behavior made me look ridiculous, and after about five days of watching, I showed myself in front of Chris's father.

"Human, what are you doing behind these mountains?You didn't get lost, did you?

"Oops... I finally met someone!And beautiful! Would you like to join me for dinner, my lady?There's nothing but wild grass and monster meat!

This is the word Chris's parents used when they first met - Chris thought he heard it instead of lullabies.My father may be big, but I'm sure he's stupid.

Chris' father, from the continent of Cardiva, was unaware of the existence of a demonic fox and did not realize that the opponent in front of him was a monster comparable to an advanced one.However, Chris remembered hearing from his mother that the demonic fox that was' changing 'into a beautiful woman was confused in the first place.

Afterwards, the demonic fox who talked to him and decided he wasn't a bad person sent Chris's father near the village.In the meantime, the demonic fox will be attracted to the confusion as well as the appearance of hitting on the verbal complainants.

But the demonic fox knew what it was.So he took Chris' father near the village and quickly disappeared and went back to the mountain.

It was only a week later that Chris' father broke back into the mountains in search of herbs.

Hey, I brought you some decent food this time!I'd like to thank you for the last time, but would you please eat it?

The demonic fox was alert to Chris's father laughing.I heard about myself in the village and thought I'd brought you some poisoned food.

However, it did not smell of poison, and even if it was odorless poison, it was judged that it would not die in small quantities, and the demonic fox ate the food that Chris' father had brought.Although I was surprised at the flavor that I couldn't eat in the mountains, the taste was delicious.

Chris' father was satisfied with the reaction of the demonic fox and left.And once a week, I went to see a demonic fox in the name of herbal search.

At first, the vigilant demonic fox also forgot to be vigilant for a month, two months, three months - six months, a year later, and waited for Chris' father to come.

I used to think it was quiet and calm in the mountains, but I felt lonely when I was alone.

Two or three more years later, the demonic fox had come to think of Chris's father.Once a week, in a short period of time, things are not enough, and I think I should try to push them from my side.

However, no matter how much 'change' a demonic fox is, there is a danger that its identity will be revealed if one goes to the village where people live.The demonic fox feared that Chris' father would be put in danger - but still wanted to see him.

One day, Chris's father said.

I'm a good age, too, and I think it's time to settle down in that village.The villagers also welcomed me... and prepared a house for me. "

Chris' father was an excellent pharmacist.Although the medicine you make is not as effective as magic medicine, it is a valuable substitute from the village.In addition, it was well known to medicine so that only medicinal herbs could heal a certain amount of injuries without relying on magic.

From the village, it is superfluous, but if you have so many arms, you are very welcome to welcome them with your hands up.Since it was close to settlement for the past three years or so, there was little resistance to acceptance.

"Is that so... congratulations, is that okay?

The demonic fox said so with great joy in his heart, even though he was not smart on the surface.Perhaps we could see each other more often, so much so that the tail hidden in "Change" would be shaken with a sound.

Thank you. Ah, and the village chief will take care of my wife.

"............ eh?

However, following Chris's father's words, the demonic fox suddenly shut up.Her eyes widened and her face was bloody and her lips trembled as if she were afraid.

Well, I said no ─ I want you to come to my wife, but how about that?

"...... what?

Then, the words that followed were cut off from the feelings that were different from before.

I want you.I've learned a lot about you in the last three years.Marry me. "

The demonic fox nodded instantly to his unusual serious face and voice.But he didn't tell me he was a demonic fox.The more you know it, the more you hate it - the more you succeed, the more you may be afraid.

The demonic fox is afraid.I fear more deeply and more strongly than my wife sends to Chris's father.

If you can see a monster with your eyes, you can't tell how shocked you would be if you were shocked by the curse that you were deceiving me.Therefore, the demonic fox was lost in responding.

"Ah, I know you're not human, so don't worry about that area.I'll convince the villagers, and if you can't, you can run away with me.I'm still pretty good at this, so I can afford to feed you. "

All my doubts were cut off by that smile.

So they were bound, and a year later Chris and Tina were born.

(Mother... I know I was happy, but it's hard for my daughter to fall in love many times... yeah, dozens, hundreds of times...)

Remembering that he was in love instead of lullabies, Chris laughed bitterly in his dreams.

And unexpectedly, the landscape in your dreams changes.And, whoops, sighs.

That's all I have left of happiness.“That's it," he said, listening to his mother's love story and seeing her daughters Chris and Tina's father, who was so sweet.

Even now, Chris doesn't know what went wrong.

Chris's father persuaded the villagers as proclaimed, but he had to build a house on the outskirts of the village.It's about being afraid of a demonic fox, and it convinces Chris as well “now.”

Was it a closed place called the village, was Chris's mother a demon fox, was Chris's father who married such a demon fox, or was it Chris and Tina who were born with her mother's identity inherited?

“Beyond that” is a common tragedy.

Young children are extraordinarily sharp, and I often see things that adults don't see.Chris and Tina were not treated well in the village, or were they told by their parents?

Sometimes it is the only pharmacist's daughter in the village, and adults do nothing.As you get closer, you pull your cheeks and walk away silently.But the children were not, and Chris and Tina were treated like swelling.

Talking is creepy, and in some cases they throw stones, sometimes they catch their feet and water them.If they asked me to play with them, I could escape, and on the contrary, they chased me around.

Of course, I'm not Chris's father, who is silent when he does that.He sheltered Chris and Tina, scolded the children of the village, and told the adults that Chris and Tina and their wives were not in danger.

For the children, Chris and Tina are the same children as you, and they are vulnerable girls.

If the adults had a demonic fox, the monsters would stay away from the village and be safe.

He persuaded them to love and to take action to protect his wife and daughter.

In fact, as I told the demonic fox, I even thought about leaving the village and moving to another place.But it's hard to travel with young Chris and Tina.No matter how strong the demonic fox is, there is an upper part of the world.

Chris' father understood that his ability as a pharmacist was required in a place where there were no doctors or pharmacists, such as a small village.Even a big town has enough arms to ask for, but if you find out about your wife and daughters, you won't be able to escape.

But Chris' father resisted.I kept insisting that I was desperately safe to protect my wife and daughters.

The villagers also gradually softened their attitude to the appearance of Chris's father - Chris seemed to be.

Chris's life changed when he was eight years old.To summarize the change, Chris' father was killed, as was his mother, the demonic fox.

The villagers who saw Chris's father's attitude thought he might be manipulated by a demonic fox and secretly reported it to the lord.

That day, Chris and Tina were invited to play with the children of the village.Normally I was out of the group, and even though I felt uncomfortable with the strange and gentle way the injured person handled me, I was joyful that my father's hard work had finally borne fruit.

As a result, Chris and Tina were taken hostage suddenly by the children who were playing, and their parents lost their lives without resistance.Still, the lightning strike that Chris' mother fired on him as he was dying drew his attention, and Chris pulled Tina's hand and fled.

Chris ran into the mountain with Tina crying and kept running desperately.My father taught me how to walk in the mountains, and my mother taught me how to fight.

That's why we can run away - and at the same time, I think.

I didn't resist to ruin my father's struggles, but I wondered if there would have been a different future if the children had been raging at the time of their capture.

I thought so, Chris, but it's already too late.My parents died and I had no choice but to take my sister with me.

The fox's ears and tail, which bear witness to the blood of her mother, the demon fox, do not allow it to descend into the world.Days when they are avoided, and in some cases attacked and nearly killed, in the eyes of the people they go to.

I went to the village to find a way to mourn my parents, but I didn't even know where the body was, so I gave up everything and headed west.Then Chris and Tina sneaked off to a ship heading for the Caldeba continent and left their hometown of Zipang.

Chris's dream was such a common tragedy.

"Nh......"

Chris woke up unexpectedly and returned to reality.

It seems that she was lying awake some time after she lost consciousness.I noticed that tears fell from the edge of my eyes and tried to wipe them off, but the face of the fox blocked it and blocked my fingers.

The face of the fox worn by Chris and Tina was supplied by the Greco-Romans who chose them as their destination during their journey through the continent of Cardiva.I met Kanna occasionally on my trip, and I was able to get the results of taking care of her by saying "my hometown”.

It is a magic tool that "changes" the appearance while wearing the fox face, but it only hides the fox ear and tail.In the first place, Chris secretly doubted Kanna's sensitivity around the fox's face.

Still, there was a recommendation from Kanna, who had already become bishops, that Chris and Tina should be in an “inherently dangerous place” called Gregorianism.

Monsters - Chris and Tina, who are classified as subhumans, are not surprised to be targeted by the Gregorians.However, in Gregorianism, which seeks the strongest, Chris and Tina are to be commended for their power.

As a result, Chris got a safe place to work, which would be tough for the first time in years.

(... why is Chris here?)

With that in mind, Tina was cooking with Corona.Tina, who took off her fox face and exposed her ears and tail, seemed dazzled as she taught Corona how to shake a knife.

Sometimes the next corona's hair is flax-colored and long, and it looks like it's a "former sight.”

"Nh... no... it's not my mother."

That's how Chris shook his head.

"Don't be fooled... there's no place for people, monsters and subhumans to live together..."

Those who heard the words in an unusual tone were not there.
