And then we went down the same route that Twin Beasts, Totori and Lutri taught us...

There was a little distance to the village, so before the sun went down, we camped by the woods.

The following afternoon I reached the village of the Nerham tribe, the 'Beast man to settle'.

The place is pretty far back in the woods.

It was close to the 'blank land in the woods' that Mr. Delililla taught me.

Me and Rita, we pulled Totori and Lutri's hand.

Cecil and Eine entered the village, wary of the aftermath, and said,

"Of the Nerham tribe, I brought you the grandson of the chief."

"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!!?

As soon as we entered the village, our surroundings wandered.

Naturally, but everyone around, Beast Man.

There are old people, adults, children and mothers with babies.

Along the way, I met the village guard and explained the situation in advance. Because I'd be in trouble if they thought I was a kidnapper. So, at the entrance to the village, Totori and Rutri's grandfather - the elder - waited.

"Uncle!" "I'm back -!

"Whoa, whoa!

The two jumped straight into the elder's chest.

It was a good sight.

Cecil, Rita, Eine, they're crying.

Well, and...

"Then we'll go home."

Let's keep going. Right.

I tried to wave everyone home and...

"" "" Wait. Yeah, yeah!!

─ ─ The beasts stopped me.

"Please, tell me more! Let me also thank you!

"I believe in each other, my beast sister and your husband!" "Wait. Don't go. Cry!

Because the villagers, Totori and Lutri are desperate to retain...

"... I do think we should share information about 'Sage Goblin'"

I'm talking to Totori and Rutri, but it might not get through well if it's a message, and I can't help it. It also involves disputes between beasts.

"Well, I'll just be a moment."

"Take your time! My village loves its guests!

said the village chief.

Speaking of which, Totori and Lutri were somewhat friendly to me, Cecil and Eine (after the misunderstanding was solved). Is there such a village?

It's a village of nothing.

"No, it's enough to talk to you"

I wonder what kind of life one of the beasts has.

Besides, as a "normal adventurer," it's not a bad idea to get to know each other more.

That's why we decided to interrupt the village for a moment.

The villages of the Nerham tribe (Klan) were made using the woods as they were.

There is a large tree in the centre of the village, on which is installed a huge wooden statue of a wolf.

This is the patron saint of the village, or the ancestor of the beast man.

Like surrounding the tree, there are sparse trees growing.

The house is at the root of a tree, using trunks instead of columns. At the root of a large tree in the centre is the village chief's house, and then the house of the ordinary people.

We were guided to the village chief's house in the center.

It was the elders, with bright white beast ears and tails, who welcomed me.

"That you saved my grandson...... thank you...... really......"

The elder bowed his head to us deeply.

No, we just went down the street.

This is not a lie.

If Deliri-La hadn't asked me for a quest, we wouldn't have met Totori and Lutri.

This is a coincidence that the Virgin gave me.

"Still....... Because the beast man never forgets loyalty or gratitude."

So the elder of the village bowed his head deeply.

Then Totori and Lutri started explaining the situation.

That it was the goblins that turned us into beastmen who took us.

The fact that they were caught in the village of Goblin for a while, that they were rescued by us who stumbled through there. At that time, the "coincidence" deep fog covered the village of Goblin. I told my elders that a 'coincidence' mysterious luminescence occurred when I escaped.

And it is also said that the culprit who took the two of them seems to have 'change skills' called 'sage goblins'.

The elder and the lady were surprised.

That's right. The Beast Man is sensitive to the signs, and his senses are sharp.

It's not normal to have the disguise skills to make them look like that. Literally 'cheat skills'. Of course, according to Totori and Lutri, "I can't use it for long," though.

According to the message Katras sent me - - Mr. Delilah, the information - there are several ways to spot it.

Cecil's "Magic Detection"

Rita's "Breaking the Connection (Area Breaker)" - This is like "Disguise Skills" putting a different kind of connection around you, so let's face it.

And the smell, it's not entirely fake. If you get close and 'kunkanka', you know, that was Totori and Lutri's opinion.

"Okay. Some beasts can 'detect magic'. Let them look around. To the smell, too, I'll tell you to be careful. It's a small village, so if you're not alarmed, you'll find the intruder."

"If he was free to change his appearance, he might not be the Beast Man next. Might take the look of a goblin, an ogre, a lizardman, or a dragon. Be very careful."

"I understand. Benefactor Which"

"No, I'm glad I could help. Then we'll do it."

"So let me thank you!

When I tried to go home, I knew I was held back.

I told him what to tell him, so I'd like to get home early and get ready to welcome the Iris.

Besides...

".................. Nagi"

Because Rita looks anxious.

This has been the case ever since I entered this village. Rita is nagging and gripping the hem of my clothes.

Rita has a past abandoned by her family because of her special ability to be both a figure of man and a figure of beast man. This village is not like Rita's tribe, but everyone who lives there is an animal man. So Rita may have remembered the old days.

Besides... there are also tribes of the 'moving beasts' that are hostile to this Nerham tribe.

"For one thing, can you tell me?

I held Rita's hand, and I said,

"Can you give me the name of the tribe of the supposed 'moving beast man' who took Mr. Lutori and Mr. Totori?

How can you not ask? Otherwise, Rita remains much more anxious. If the hostile tribe has anything to do with Rita's family... then I'll do something about it using Cheat Skills.

I'm Rita's husband.

"Lurtal... Bye"

The elder, he said.

".................. not..."

I heard Rita sigh, ha, ha.

Good. Looks like it had nothing to do with Rita's birth tribe.

Cecil and Eine both look relieved. I knew you were both worried.

"You sent out an apology messenger about the useless suspicion you put on those tribes. And they said," The treasure was stolen by the people of this tribe, "to give you the information you gave me."

"I hope I can solve the misunderstanding"

"... really. Thanks to all of you."

Finally, the elder bowed his head again, and that ended the story.

─ ─ So, when I realized, the sun was going down sometime, and it was evening.

I was gonna leave the village a little earlier, but you talked to me.

Anyway, 'Sage Goblin' measures have to be taken early. It's too dangerous for a demon to change his appearance.

I asked Katras and Leticia to pass the information on to the Adventurer Guild. I'm in touch with you on "Consciousness Sharing and Modification," but you two are already back at the maintenance site. He's got a break, he's got to be working on something. As long as you have the ability to detect magic, you'll find Goblin the Wise.

"..." Goblin the Wise "all the time. I didn't expect us to use our time..."

It's not safe to move now, so we ended up taking care of the village overnight.

Finally, she said, "I still want to thank you," so I decided to get the skills.

You can tell from Rita that the skills used by the Beast Man are strong.

But... what about Rita?

".................. it's okay. Don't worry about it."

He kept holding my jacket.

After all, I wonder if it's unsettling to be surrounded by beastmen.

So I asked the elder to let me stay in a quiet house away from the others.

I don't want to stand out. Tomorrow, at dawn, we shall leave the village quietly.

And time is up, night.

"─" Iris Which metastasis has not yet occurred "? That's gonna take a while."

I closed the window "Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage)/Modification".

This is on the outskirts of the village, a house for visitors.

"Nerham Village" is usually associated with humans and other subpeople, and merchants and caravans may visit. That's when they say it's used to accommodate guests.

Because some people find it hard to get their stuff to the center of the village, and it's unsettling to be surrounded by beasts.

Totori and Lutri are at the Elder's house.

She said she was tired or fell asleep as soon as she got to the village. I don't think so. He was imprisoned in the village of Goblin for nearly half a month.

"'─ We are in the village of Nerham. We're leaving tomorrow morning, so we'll be at the maintenance site at night.' So, send, all the way."

I sat back in bed sending a message to Katras about "consciousness-sharing and change."

This house is surprisingly large because it is also envisaged to accommodate a caravan. Every room is big, and there are a lot of them. Not much to give Cecil, Rita and Eine a room each.

The window curtains are tripled so that the sound doesn't leak outside. Because the beast man has a sharp hearing, he also said, "We don't listen to the customer's behavior," which means an expression of intent.

When I open the curtains, I hear the trees shaking.

... Is this what it's like in the woods?

I wonder if Rita spent so much time listening to the sound of the wind when she was little too.

"... Rita. I wonder if you're all right."

I decided to stay in a house off the village because I thought it might calm Rita down better.

Rita's just been a little unstable since I heard about The Subhuman Struggle the other day. Perhaps you thought it might have something to do with the tribe you were born into.

I seem relieved to hear that I helped Lutri and Totri as they came to this village and that it had nothing to do with the tribe that I was formerly fighting between the Asians.

"By the time I walked into this house it was perfect because I kept getting nervous..."

Fortunately, there was a kitchen in this house, so Eine made me a good soup for digestion.

Rita drank it and immediately lay down.

Tomorrow we'll see how Rita's feeling, early if you like, and we'll go home.

"... at all. Your husband is disqualified from noticing the fatigue of his people."

"........................... That's not true..."

Is that it?

Like a voice across the door...?

"Hey, Rita."

".................. wow"

The door made a noise.

After a while, from beyond...

"Can I come in, please?

"Fine. Go ahead."

When I answered, the door slowly opened and Rita looked out from beyond.

My complexion is, yeah, much better.

Rita is wearing bedtime clothes that the villagers have prepared for her. It's the type of clothes that I wear softly from my head, and it has a hood. It's for beasts, so it features slits for beast ears and tails out.

"Are you feeling well enough?

"I'm fine. I'm sorry I bothered you"

Rita lay down next to me, nagging.

"What were you looking at? Nagi."

"I was looking at the village."

"Really?

"I thought this is what beastman life is all about. I was wondering how Rita used to live."

"I guess it's a little different here. Because my tribe was a 'moving beast man'"

Rita leans over.

The thin body seemed faintly trembling.

"I never settled like this. I wonder if it was all about moving around with a mobile tent, taking horses, looking for hunting prey"

"Oh well."

"It's a small place thing, so I hardly remember anymore...... yeah"

Rita was small and hesitated.

"I thought you didn't remember. After all, at the bottom of my mind, I still seem to remember those days. And when I was left... and what I found out."

"There's also a wooden statue of God. Do you remember?"

"Right. Because the tribe of the 'moving beast man' had the same thing. I accidentally touched it and it pissed me off. That's the god of the beast man, because he's your ancestor. Legend has it that the beast interacted with man, and that is how the beast man was born..."

Rita inadvertently shook my hand.

For a while, we stood in line and heard the trees shake.

Too much, too much.

I wonder if Rita's heartbeat is telling the truth.

Feel it through your hands. Softness and warmth.

It tickled us, so we kept our mouths shut for a while and stared out the window.

"You know, Nagi. I need you to listen to me."

"Fine. Say it."

When I nodded, Rita got a little upset and...

"I came to this village and realized I was still obsessed with what I used to be."

Take a slow, deep breath and Rita starts talking.

"I remember. When I was little and I was alone and wandering around, abandoned by my family of beasts...

I thought I'd forgotten, but I came to this village, surrounded by a lot of beasts, and I realized. There's still a little me in me, and I'm scared of what happened when he left me. "

"... Rita"

"So I want to overwrite that memory with a mixed memory."

And Rita looked up, and said:

"Please, sir. 'Rebuild' my skills here!

Rita's hands are getting so hot. Her cheeks are bright red, too.

"Really... really! I think you should tell Nagi," Do what you did to Cecil, do to me, too. "

But, but, yeah. Here, Hitochi, right? You're in trouble when something happens.

Besides, the whole thing with me and Nagi is really important, so I want to get over it, not to override my bad feelings. Also, of course, if you want a nagi... fine. Like Cecil... everything about me... because it belongs to Nagi "

"... you know, Rita"

"Hey, Nagi"

"I knew you noticed about me and Cecil?

"Yeah. 'Cause Eine was so grumpy"

"... you little sister"

"... it's your sister"

Me and Rita laughed bitterly at each other.

Eine looks so happy when I'm "okay" with everyone. Damn, I've had trouble with my sister, who's too great.

"Besides, I know. How much do you think I'm always looking at nagis? Between Nagi and Cecil...... something like air. If Cecil is really natural, and she's hanging out with a nagi, she'll know what happened."

"Oh well."

"That's right."

…………

…………

Me.

Me and Rita's face turns bright red. That.

Why are you two alone with Rita, talking to Cecil?

Why are you two turning bright red, keeping the weird air?

"And anyway." Reconstruction. "

"Well, yes, the important thing is that I'm at the service of the Nagi!

"And giving Rita a happy memory here, right?"

"Yeah. In the tradition of the Beast Man."

That said Rita took the round out of her sleeping pocket.

It was a silver bell, small enough to be on the palm of my hand.

"Totori and Lutri gave it to me. The slave of the Beast, who has lost his body and mind to his husband, says," When you two are together, you wear this bell. "

"When you two are together?

"When you two are together!

Rita is rubbing her knees together.

... when you two are... right?

"Yes. Put this on me. Your husband."

"Yeah. Okay."

With the bell Rita gave me, I touch Rita's collar.

The bell has a small straw so that it can be worn on the collar. Connect it to Rita's collar.

Rin, Rin.

As Rita swallowed something, she raised and lowered her white jaw - with it the bell made a beautiful noise.

"Well, here we go. Rita."

"... please. Your husband."

I launched Skill Structure LV6.

Use the skills that Forest Spider dropped this time and the skills that the village chief from Nerham Village gave me.

"Yarn movement LV3"

'Quickly' and 'Move' skills in 'Yarn'

This one has' Forest Spider 'skills.

I can use yarn to travel endlessly through the woods, but it's hard to prepare yarn if it's us, so I don't have much use for it.

"Homicide Exploration" LV2

'Notice' skill in 'Position' of 'Killer'

But this is the skill the elders of the village of Nerham gave me.

It's something that sensitizes me to hostility from around. However, it's narrower in scope than sign detection, and humans have a duller sense of five than beasts, so it doesn't really work for me or Eine.

So let's 'rebuild' these two skills for Rita.

Sometimes it's "Goblin the Wise" who changes his appearance. I want to take action.

To minimize the risk of Rita fighting on the front lines.

"Firstly," Yarn Move "to me. Install" Homicide Exploration "on Rita,"

"...... eh"

Rin...... Rin.

Rita leans against the wall and inserts a 'killer exploration' into her chest.

I also installed "Yarn Move" on myself. This one's a skill I can't use without yarn, but I'll 'rebuild' it anyway, so no problem.

"You know... Nagi"

"Hey, Rita."

"Thank you. Help Totori and Rutri, forgive me"

"That's obvious. If the child is trapped, help him."

"But... because I was happy"

Rita pressed her forehead against my shoulder,

"Because they also treat children of beasts they don't know... the... the... blood connected... if they are children, they do it!!

Probably.

Chilli, chilli.

Rita turned bright red and shook her head.

...... eh.

"And anyway." Rebuild, "right? I don't know how strong 'Sage Goblin' is, so reinforce me. Hey, hey!

"Yes, sir."

I know you're trying to deceive me, but let's not go in there.

If I stimulate any more, Rita, it won't be about to rebuild.

"Come on, Rita."

"... yeah. Do. Nagi."

I call the Capability Reconstruction window. Monitor Rita's condition to conceptualize her skills.

Then slowly, he reaches out to the concept 'position' in Rita.

"...... eh"

The moment my finger touched me, Rita exhaled.

Rin, chin.

The bell rang a beautiful sound.

"Mm-hmm. Go. Go on."

Rita pinched my hand, touching her own skin.

I'm putting out a window to monitor Rita's condition.

I'm sensitive to magic reactions, but no problem.

"I'm going to make" Four Concepts Cheat Skills "this time. I guess."

Rin.

Instead of answering, Rita's collar bell rang.

This is a village of beasts, inhabited by beasts who are sensitive to sounds and smells, even though they have curtains.

Soon, Rita's holding her mouth with one hand, like she can hear her voice.

Rin, Rin.

The bell on the collar answers instead. Looks fine.

I pushed my finger belly into the concept 'position'.

"Huh!"

Rita's skills swallowed my fingers lightly.

I guess it's because Rita and I have rebuilt it many times. He's trembling the moment he touches it, like he knows what he's going to do.

"─ ─ Huh!

Ririn!

Rita's heart squeaks. Rita opens her cherry blossom eyes with her back pressed against the wall. I'm shivering when my knees are cramped. But Rita won't let go of my hand. So I slowly rock the concept 'position'. [M]

"─ Huh! Mm-hmm!!

Chi. Rin. Rin!

Rita is loosing herself in small pieces. Beautiful tails, pin, and, nervous, creep, and loosen repeatedly. Each time, the hem of the bedding shakes and the sweaty legs protrude.

"Ahhh. Hmm. Ku......"

"Hey, Rita?

Rita's body is falling towards me.

Looks like I can't stand anymore.

"Come here. Can you walk?"

".................. eh"

Chi. Rin. Rin.

I carry my thin body to bed while I touch Rita's chest. [M]

Rita stayed on her knees on the bed, lying flat. I have drops of sweat on my neck and chest. Sometimes, his tail flicks, and he jumps up his sleeping clothes, but Rita finally seems to hold it down.

I guess I was tired because of the tension.

Always. Hey, I can afford it physically.

The concepts in Rita are a lot easier to move around. Do you have any hands on taking a rest here and continuing tomorrow?

"─ ─ ─ Continue,"

Rita looked at me with her face on the pillow.

"Please... stop here... no. I've decided to be strong."

"You don't have to."

I said.

"And Rita's strong enough, isn't she?

"Yeah."

And the hand that holds my hand is strong.

"Me, I'm afraid. When Totori and Lutri told me about the tribe of 'moving beasts', I wondered if my own family was involved, but I couldn't listen.

... I was afraid to make sure.

I was frightened to be told that I could not face my fellow tribes and that there was no such thing as a beast man. "

Rita's voice is shaking.

I reach for Rita's hair and her beast ears. Then she calmed down, as Rita was relieved, haha, exhaled.

"But Nagi asked in my place. He held my hand all the way until the village chief answered. That's why I was fine. Just for a second, I was still afraid."

Rita wakes up slowly and rubs her back against my chest.

"So I decided, too. He wants you to treat him like Cecil.

But...... I'm all for it, so I can do it right. Don't let 'wah-wah' pass out. I need to be prepared and ready so that I can take all of the nagis properly "

"I knew Rita was strong enough."

"Really?

"Yes, I am."

"... I'm sure that's because your husband's around"

That's what Rita said, she laughed.

Somehow, I got stuck too - like we were both shagging each other, laughing.

Then I also reached out to the concept in Rita.

"─ Ha."

Chillin '.

Resume 'Rebuilding'.

"Huh. Ha... Nagi's Hand... Suki... Daisy... Happy... Gentle"

Rita's stuck to me perfectly, shaking her thin body.

The village's bedding is thin, so I know how the tail moves very well. How can I reduce the burden on Rita, and how can I do what Rita wants?

"Huh. Ha... ah, no.... the beast man... to the sound, binkan... so... he asks... ahh. ─ ─ ─ Huh!

Chi. Chi. Ri Ri Rin!

Every time I stick to the concept, the bell sounds stronger.

It's like the sound is linked to Rita's reaction.

Put your finger - slowly - in the gap between concepts and you'll hear a strong noise,

"─ Huh! Huh!

Rin! Rin! Chin!!

Weakening the concept makes it sound... gentle.

"─ Huh. Ha... ah"

Ri...... n. Ri... Ri...

sound, Rita's exhalation, and body temperature.

That comes straight through, kind of blurring my head out.

This bell is starting to sound like Rita's option. Wow. The tradition of the beast man...

With that in mind, I continue to relax Rita's concept.

I stick around all the time, I'm totally monitoring you, I know.

It's time for Rita to embrace my concept. Almost there.

I pinch the loose 'position' with my fingers and pour magic into it all at once.

"-------------"

Rita slipped her throat all over the place.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah. Nagi... but... wow..."

"I'm coming, Rita. I'll put in my concept."

"Huh. Fine. Hmm. Ah. Ah. -----------!!!!

I push "Move quickly" and "Move" into Rita's skills. Rita's body trembles into the 'concept' that comes in both at the same time.

Still, Rita embraced my 'concept' as she suppressed her voice and loosened her body up and down.

"Oh no... ah. ……… two…… at the top…"

Rin Rin Rin Rin. Rin. Rin.

The sound of the bell no longer stops. He's making noises all over the room as Rita moves. Rita's eyes wander like she was drunk by the sound. He loosens his sweaty body and keeps shaking his tail to the left and right as if it were frightening.

"Nagi... Nagi... Ah. Nagi, no. I... I..."

Rin Rin Rin Rin Rin Rin Rin Rin. Rin Rin Rin! Chin!

"Sound... no more... stop... ya... ah. Ahhhhhhhh"

"Finish it. I'm coming, Rita."

"─ ─ Huh! Ah. Ah. Yes. Come... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Finally, check with your fingers the concept that went inside Rita. Position. Depth. Magic reaction. No problem. Now... I can probably protect Rita by completing "Four Concepts Cheat Skills".

"Execute!" Capability Rebuilding LV6 "!!

"-------!

Ri Ri. Mm-hmm. Ri! Ri! Ri! ─ ─ ─ Huh!

The sound of the bell changes. You can't hear it in my ear, you sound tall. [M]

Rita said, "Hold on to me."

As always, my shoulders are sweet.

"…………………………………………"

Kusan, and I collapsed.

".................. sooo"

Did you fall asleep?

I've had a lot going on today.

Rita's always been on the front lines fighting for me, and even this time, she noticed Totori and Lutri the earliest. I tried to create skills that would protect Rita like that, but... it seems to have worked.

"Sensory Momentum" Awakening Quickly "LV1" (4 Conceptual Cheat Skills)

'Quickly', 'Awareness' and 'Move' skills to 'Killer'

Skills that increase the speed of movement in response to surrounding intentions to kill or attack.

When in battle, the speed of movement increases without question, and the effect of the skill appears the moment the enemy notices this way during the opponent.

The rise speed is about twice to four times higher.

However, depending on the strength of the enemy's intent to kill and the number of them, the speed increases further.

All right. Properly the concept 'notice' is changing me to 'notice'.

With this, Rita can escape at speeds when she has to. The chances of survival should have been considerably higher.

It's nice that Rita has a lot of loyalty, because she's trying too hard.

As your husband, I wanted to take care of it.

".................. Munya. Nagi... I... you did it right..."

"I got it. Good luck...... Rita"

"... when I get home... now I really..."

...... it's so light though. Yeah. Okay.

That's how you keep Rita on your lap.

I kept doing Rita's hair until I got sleepy.

That's how we slept in the morning.

"Morning. Hey, Rita."

Here.

"Eine?" "Wow!?

We jumped in a panic at Aine's voice from across the door.

Or they found out.

... you know what I mean. It's about Eine, so Rita must have been there to wake her up.

"Chi, no! I couldn't sleep, and when I came to see Nagi's face, so..."

"Nappy, I know your sister. I'll leave you here for dinner, so why don't you join Rita?

He sounded so happy.

... Eine, you're absolutely misunderstanding me.

"By the way, this morning's menu is a good nut for Nerham Village. It sounds beautiful when you cook and dry it. Here."

Rin. Rin.

"... ahh. Ha!"

... Um, Rita?

Why are you turning your face bright red and holding onto your bedding hem?

"Ah? That? Me, why..."

Rin. Rin.

"Ahhh. Ha."

"No way, conditional reflex!?

I was ringing the bell while 'rebuilding', so when I hear the same sound, I automatically remember that time, or...

"Well, I guess it's temporary..."

Probably, though.

'Reconstruct' can be quite exciting. You can't help it, can you?

"Nah. What am I supposed to do with this?"

"... Rita, nice"

"It's not good at all-- whoa!

Rita's screams echoed in the morning village of Nerham.

And then we tried to leave the village.

"Please wait. I just got a report from someone who came around in the morning."

The village elders stopped me.

"I discovered that those who went out hunting early in the morning were badly injured," he said. He said he wasn't a demon. Maybe 'Goblin the Wise' and his people are wandering the woods "

Or maybe he's already approaching the village.

With a serious face, the elder beast man said.
