I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

In the meantime, we're gonna take him to the elders, and me, Ferris and the elves are gonna walk in line for a settlement.

"How long have you been obstinate, Ferris?"

"There's nothing else to be reckoned with. And don't feel comfortable calling my name, human."

Ferris walking in front of me is obviously stubborn and doesn't have a great voice.

"Call me Jed, not human."

"……… Dear Ferris, you are obstinate."

"Oh, I'm obstinate. That won't help either. Only Master Ferris could touch the Yacklebank."

"Well, you deserve that."

"Did I say something?

Don't talk to Ferris. He was emitting an aura, so when I had a conversation with the elf men behind him, he turned his gaze like a blade.

"" "It's nothing." "

Immediately, Ferris walked away again, looking complicated.

Seeing that, we continue to breathe.

The reason Ferris is in a bad mood is because, as the elf man said earlier, he couldn't stroke the yak. The reason why Yak hated only under Ferris is simple.

Because Ferris was the first person to fly an arrow.

Yak, who was bustled and caressed or hugged by the men.

Now, the next minute I said, "Ferris is the one who jumped the arrow, but I'm fine," I ran away in a big panic.

Then, Yak became frightened of Ferris and disappeared.

Naturally, Ferris said, "What are you talking about?" I was so angry that I said back, "Isn't it bad that Ferris jumped an arrow at Yak?"

The elf men also stared at Ferris with a reprehensible look about it.

Apparently, Yak is treated with great care among the elves.

Even the elf men, who were supposed to be allies, didn't get on their side and Ferris got screwed.

That's about it, and I didn't get angry, and I thought, "Ferris is an elf who is not yet old, so I can't help it." Elves grow slower than humans because of their longevity, so does their spirit.

When I ask you about your exact age, I don't have to tell you that me and the elf guy got caught.

Apparently, even among the elves, there is no delicacy in asking women how old they are.

I kind of let him stroke Yak, and then I feel like I've been friends with some elf guys for a long time.

I hear you've been lucky enough to meet Yak.

Because this is how I can stay hostile thanks to Yak.

If you say that, he will definitely be in good shape, so I won't tell you.

I'm on my right shoulder, and I'm gonna poke Yak's cheek at you.

"What, you want me to take care of it?

What a cutie.

Ferris looked at us like he was jealous of us when I turned my gaze back to the cute animal. I feel restless closing or opening my hands from earlier.

I guess I really want to touch the yak and moff it or hug it.

I have trouble staying grumpy all the time, so I whisper to the yak on my shoulder.

"Come on, let Ferris touch you, too."

'I don't like it. That guy jumped an arrow at me, didn't he? You don't want to be near the person you almost killed. And his eyes suck the most. "

Well, I don't think the arrow Ferris flied to warn you about was in a bad place.

He thought the animal at his feet was a yacklebank. It seems to be a rare animal that I don't see much of. Later, for the first time, you were nervous with a human eye?

"Well, I didn't mean to offend you, so forgive him. He's the elder's grandson and he's great, and maybe he'll get us a cup of rice or something when we get to the settlement?

"Seriously!? I'm gonna be a little messed up!

Speaking of my interest in staying close, Yak pinned his tail and ran down to Ferris as a delight.

Hey, I need you to stop saying that human smell.

Ferris was surprised by Yak, who suddenly climbed up. Then he strokes his fearful fingers close to Yak, who shines his eyes and tilts his little neck.

By rubbing his own head, Yak revealed his preference.

Then Ferris' face blossomed, and he began to stroke Yak with a eagle.

Unlike earlier, we were first dismayed by the way we walked away in a good mood.

"Uh, already! You're not good at stroking him!

Yak shouted grudgingly, but I ignored him and proceeded with my feet.

× × ×

"We'll be in the settlement soon!

Ferris said at the end it felt like it was going to be marked with notes.

'Ha, uh, I'm tired. It's not easy selling charm.'

Contrary to the shiny Ferris, Yak is on my head looking exhausted.

It's not that heavy, and it's fine because it's hairy and soft, but I don't want you to ever just stand on your nails.

If you surprise Yak here, there will be no doubt that at that moment sharp nails will pop out of your legs and pierce my head.

It seems painful just to imagine.

In the meantime, I didn't complain this time either because you fixed Ferris' mood.

Then, as Ferris said, we arrived at a settlement.

There is a gate made of a large wooden fence. It seems difficult to open the gate without pushing it in quite a number of people of considerable size.

There are already many elves waiting by the gate.

Elves with bent hips in the center. Around it stood about three large elves to protect the man.

At a glance, I can see that the elf in the center is highly respected.

Why they are already in front of the gate is due to the fact that one elf ran to pass on the information in advance.

To make sure it doesn't suddenly become a problem.

Especially if we can get into the settlement.

I set my spine right and proceeded with grandeur and speak to Yak, who is still dazed over my head.

"Hey, Yak. We're in a settlement."

"Hmm? Are we there?

Yak moves with his elbows.

I thought it was reasonable and quiet. Still, it's something you can sleep on over my head.

"Ouch, he's a little nail-stabbed!

"Ah, bad."

A sharp pain occurs all over my head because of the sharp nails that popped up when I was stretching my wake.

Still, he doesn't look bad at all.

I keep walking as I endure to only face the pain.

And stops perfectly in front of a centrally located elf.

"Are you the one who broke through the line?

In the center, the crouched voice of an old elf is slowly thrown out.

The wrinkles were engraved in large part, and it was felt from the look on his face that he was a fairly old elf.

Peeping from the back of his eyelid, his thin eyes still contained a strong emerald light, staring straight at me.

"Yes, you're right."

I answered without distracting myself from those eyes.

You're surprised you can talk to me, a human being, and the big elves are slightly breathtaking.

Then the elf kept staring at me with his thin eyes, not saying anything.

I'm not observing my body, I'm trying to peek into this one's mind.

"I'm a little scared of something."

Yak, who couldn't stand the heavy air, snubs over my head.

Seeing as Yak wandered, Elf's gaze turned to Yak.

I wondered if it would be nice to say hello with a yacklebank on my head, but I left it there because Ferris said it was better to stay that way.

"... You were told it was the Holy Beast of the Forest and that Yacklebank had forgiven your heart. My name is Elisia. It is called Elf's settlement elder. What was his name?

"… Jed-Clifford speaking."

"Are you saying Jed? Come on, Jed, come on in."

Elders with a softer tone than earlier turn their backs on me slowly as they are.

I was relieved to breathe.

"Is that okay!? Elder! They are people who don't even know what to do!?

A large elf blocked it.

"Can't you see Yacklebank? You can't possibly be close to someone with an evil heart. And the spirits seem to like him."

"So, but..."

An elder who answers with his gaze right here.

But the big elves don't seem convinced.

"Trust me on my account."

"……… if the elder says so."

You broke into the elder's words, pull back like a man said reluctantly. He sent a sharp glance at me on the verge of returning to his original position.

- I don't trust you.

That's what I thought they said.

"My young man disrespected me. Nothing, little settlement, but come on in."

The elder walked through the gate laughing bitterly when he noticed that the young elf had sent his gaze to me.

I followed it with a bitter smile, too.
