Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Can rats be as small as Nil?

Small...? How did you do that?

"No, you can't.

There's no way you can use the magic of transformation so conveniently. There was never such a convenient story, either during the game or after I came to this world.

"When that happens... we'll have to do something to keep it out of sight..."

"But at this size, isn't that just impossible?

"That's right...."

Nil's right. I guess we just have to give up taking him and ask him to go back to Beltoniley...

"What if nobody finds you?

"Oh, I was wondering if I could take her with me..."

That's easy!

"Hmm? What do you mean?

I'm fast!

Rat proudly exhales from his nose and wriggles his neck.

"No, even if it's fast, it doesn't really matter how big it is.

Mmm, that's not true.

When Rato stood up smoothly, he and Nil were separated a little bit.

When I saw what I was doing, I saw a yellow magical formation at the foot of Rato.

It's not the Holy Spirit Magic. It's normal magic.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a yellow magical formation. It does not exist in the common sense of this world. It's the same thing even if it's a monster, and I've never seen a monster paint a yellow magical formation.

"What is this magic...?

Let's go!

Bathroom!

As soon as the yellow magic formation is complete, a slight flash of light runs in front of you and the rat disappears completely.

I didn't lose sight of the flash. I had a good look. Despite that, it disappeared.

See? You didn't see that, did you?

When I finally realized that Rato's emotions were flowing in and moving behind us, I turned around, and Rato stood there with his face wide open.

A bee and a little electricity are running at the tip of my feet.

"Was that... lightning magic...?

There is no such thing, but I can only explain it.

Yes! Yes!

Rat, be clear, wafu! And one sounds with joy.

How could there be lightning magic... because Rats are such a special species...? Or is there an attribute called lightning magic just because it hasn't been discovered...?

I was developing a magic team, and it was magic using ordinary magic. If so, can I use it...?

It's magic of endless interest... but I'll study it later. I'm talking about Rato now.

I don't know what kind of magic it was, but at least it wasn't as fast as I could see.

"Sure enough, we might be able to move without anyone seeing us..."

You can't see us either. That's it.

No... is it better if we don't see it either? Then you won't have to worry about someone finding you.

Rato will know when someone comes nearby, and it's okay... right?

"It may not be surprisingly bad.

"Sure you won't have to worry about finding this... are you sure you want to take it?

Does Nil hate me...?

Rat feels a little sorry for Nil's words.

"Rato, does Nil hate himself? I heard that.

"What?! No, no... that kind of thing..."

Rat exhales hahahaha, staring Nil with his crushing eyes and groaning with a woozy voice.

"Ugh... I see! Let's go! But don't bother your mistress! Is that good?!

Yeah! Okay!

Nil raises his fingers to teach a big, stupid wolf. Somehow... Nil really is amazing.

Lat also listens to Nil properly and laughs like a junior. I don't know if it's passed on to Nil... but it seems to be meshing well.

Thus it was decided that Rato would accompany him temporarily.

"Well... it's good that Rato gets here, but I don't know what to do from here.

It's good to go southwest, but I wonder if we'll make it near the dungeon...

Cynthia wants to go where there's a lot of food, right?

"Does it look like that from Rato..."

In the meantime, there was information that the dungeon in the submarine tunnel was a high difficulty dungeon, and at the end, S-rank monsters also appeared.

Not all S-ranked monsters are seen as bait, but all monsters below A-rank that appear near the entrance appear to be bait to rats.

"Hmm? Does Rat know where it is?!

I know! I stopped by before I came here!

It's not a cafe-like place to drop by... Rat.

"Do you know how to proceed from here?

Of course! That way!

Rato turned his face a little further south than the direction we were headed. The angle is only slightly different from here, but the farther the end point, the greater the error. Without Rato, I would have consumed more time.

"I'm glad Rato's already here.

"Well, that's pretty good..."

Wow! Niru gave me a compliment!

I wonder what Nil is up against Rat...

"Here, it's time to go.

"Yes."

Yes!

Thus began the journey of two and one, but only ten minutes later. Rats will still be active.

Hey hey. Sinya.

"What's wrong?

As I was scraping the grass, Rato called out further behind Nil behind me.

"Why are you going so slowly?

Gu...

When I get stuck in the word that I'm in pain, Nil reacts immediately...

"Cora! Rat! You promised not to embarrass your husband!

and scolded with his index finger.

Rats squeal with coon.

"No, Nil. It's not Lat's fault now.

Rat just doesn't understand the difference between a man and a beast yet.

Our legs are slow compared to rats. They scratch grass taller than their backs, and their feet slow down even more. I don't know how Rat would like to say that either.

However, there are monsters, and if you run around badly, all of a sudden there are monsters in front of you! Nothing can happen. We have to proceed with some caution, and this is all we have to do.

"That's what we're saying because we're slow.

"Is that so... Rat? We are people, not as big as you. Compared to rats, most people have slow feet.

Since you are my husband, I am proceeding at this speed, but it will take more than three times as long for ordinary people.

Really?!

It's the first time I've known that. I was as surprised as Rato.

"We'd be happier if we went faster, too. But this is the fastest.

That's right...

You don't have a link, but you're better at rats than me, Nil. Looks good anymore, doesn't it?

So, you want to ride on my back?

"What...?!

I feel like Rato has just released a word of astonishment....

No, wait, wait. The human dream of running through the grasslands on the back of a wolf cannot be so easily fed by leaves.

Wrong answer.

"So, if you run on my back, you'll be there soon.

"I'm riding!

I answered because of the taste. No, but I'm sure everyone will understand this. We can ride on that softer moff-mov than we thought and be the wind together. There must be someone who can refuse.

"Riding... on a rat?

"Ah! Looks like Rato's gonna run us on his back!

"Yes, your husband's mood is always improving..."

"Why don't you just think about it and get excited?!

"Sure, I'm excited... but I'm filled with regret for some reason.

Nil wanted to regret it, but I got on the lying rat, and Nil got behind me.

After all, Rat's hair, which is more shark than you can imagine, is pushed back with good elasticity when you ride it, like a low-rebound cushion.

I'm concerned about the slight rat smell of the beast, but everything else is generally perfect. Now let's clean the rat's body with soap.

"Nil, hold on tight.

When I called Nil in the back, it was a small voice. And replied and grabbed the edge of my clothes.

"If you hold it that way, it will fall.

I grab Nil's arms and pull them around my waist.

"Huh?!!!

I heard voices from behind that don't make Nil's voice, but now I want to be windier!

"All right, Rat! That's good!"

Lat, who heard my voice, turned his face to the side once and checked his back, then slowly stood up.

"Uhhhh!! Awesome!

I just stood up, but the sights change (at best).

Is it different just by riding two meters?

The tall grass that was growing around seemed to be so low that the wind that sometimes blows shakes the top of the grass and waves.

I felt the wind on my cheeks and body that I hadn't felt before because of the grass, and I felt a great sense of openness.

"Is it okay to run?

"Whoa! Go! Go!

Okay! Let's go!

The rat slowly increases its speed, tapping and making footsteps.

"Uhhhhhhh!!!

The air hits from the front as soon as you start running.

The sound of the wind bobbed in my ears.

The smell of green is like choking back.

Some clouds are blocking the light of the sun falling from the sky and shadowing the wavering grass.

More importantly, Rato is running lightly, but as fast as a jet coaster. Grass passing by one after the other. Broad-leaved trees that seemed to glitter in the distance also drifted.

"Now... I'm in the wind!

And a wolf!

Senseless!!

Still... less shaking than I thought. Normally, it's supposed to shake more...

Rats are running, but sometimes they see us on our backs, and they're running to keep us from shaking.

"Ahahaha! Happy!"

I can run faster!

Rat and I don't speak each other, so even if we don't hear anything from the wind, we know what we're talking about.

"All right! Go faster!

"Let's go!

Rat's posture is slightly lowered and she's about to slip back.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Hahhhhhh!

I don't know how fast it's going, but I know it's very fast.

The sound of the wind is too great to hear my voice well.

It will be as good as windproof magic. What? It's like a corner rat, but there's nothing you can do about it.

I decided to take a break because I found the creek before I had too much fun and my spirit broke.

I was concerned about Rat's health, but I heard from Rat later that if he didn't do everything he could, he would be able to keep running for nearly half a day. The open mouth of cardiopulmonary function (tight yesterday) was unobstructed.

Nil? How was it? It was fun, right? "

I tried to share this impression with Nil who got off the rat and asked her with a heightened tension, but Nil turned her face bright red and nodded... yes.

More like this... wow! I wanted to....

Shinya! Look! Look! The fish are swimming!

Rato gladly peers into the water of the creek.

"Rat, I'm going to wash your whole body, so stand in the creek.

"Do you want to wash it? I did it a little while ago when I took a shower.

"That's not all. There's dirt that won't fall off, and it's better if it's clean.

I see! Got it!

Bashan!!

When Rato replies, he dives into the creek with a splash of water. It was deeper than I thought.

"Alright, don't move!

Yes!

I'll wash Rat's body with water magic and soap.

What is this bubble?! It's delicious in the moco!

A rat that eats so badly that it's worried about the bubbles that wrap around its body. I didn't have time to stop.

Bitter!

"Here you go. Don't get mad. Stay still.

Yes...

When you clean the whole body of the grown rat, there is a lot of dirt on it, and the dirt flows along with the hair that has fallen out in the stream.

Wow. You look beautiful.

Before drying, I can see that the colour and gloss of the hair are different.

A rat shakes his body and flies water. To call it a water droplet, there comes water that feels wrong both quantitatively and in size. Cold.

"Let's dry it up.

Yes!

Next, I'll use the wind magic to dry Rato's body.

Ooh! It's so fuzzy!

Then, because the rat's hair is soft, the overall hair becomes upside-down and looks like a hairy ball.

"Ahahah! Oh, my God!

"Phew... is that it? You're so cute!

Nil finally came back as usual, laughing together.

Weird?

"This is really weird.

"That's weird.

Even though it's fuzzy.

When Rato shakes his body with a bull, it's much better.

I stopped by for a break and I'll ask you a little more about Rato.

Lower your hips in the stream and stick your bare feet into the running water. It feels good.

"Rato, may I ask you a few questions?

Good.

"First of all... where did Rato come from?

I'm from over there.

Rato's face shows the south-east. It seems that the south-east side has a long history of continents, but it has hardly been clarified, I have only visited locally, and it is not strange that there are monsters I don't know.

And....

All the way south-east from here is the home of the Knights of the Holy Order.

The surrounding villages and towns have received supplies from the Knights of the Holy Order and have arrived by the Knights of the Holy Order from the beginning.

Which means we're never going south-east from here. If we go any further, it will only be when we cross to see the settlement with the Knights of the Holy Order...

In order to meet such a time, we must do what we need to do first.

Let's listen to Rat for now.

"There were a lot of people coming from the south-east, weren't there?

"Hmm... I don't know! I ran for the view!

I don't know where Rato comes from, but if I ask him about the city and village ahead, he won't know anything.

I see. You don't have company? I thought wolves lived in swarms... "

My friends.....

Rat's emotions get worse and darker.

"What's wrong...?

There were... a lot of people.

You dare say that to me in the past, Rat. What the hell happened to his past...?

"Don't you want to talk?

Rat's feelings come directly into me. I don't want to talk to you, but I want you to listen to me... and I'm going to tell you how I feel. It is also difficult to connect strongly to the inside. I can't hide my feelings or feelings.

I don't want to talk about anything else. It's just... it makes me sad to remember... "

Lat started talking about his friends little by little as he tried to switch the conversation about whether or not he had to ask them out of hand.

Rato doesn't know the exact age, but he lived a long time ago in a group of fellow wolves and herds.

Rats at that time weren't so big, they were the size of regular wolves... and their hair was completely black.

Black Wolf. That's Rato's original race name.

Blackwolf is a monster named A Rank and is fast anyway.

Black hair has excellent magic defense and is weak to physical attacks, but he can't get there fast, and if he does, he's killed... what a monster that could happen.

If a normal person meets you and gets targeted, you can't escape, and you can only pray that you will miss it.

Highly compatible with Blue Tall Wolf. There is no doubt about that perception. However, unlike the Blue Tall Wolf, Black Wolf does not shred its prey one by one, but takes it out in an instant. Use sharp teeth and nails to reliably cleave acutely, or crush neck bones with their tough jaw.

Of course, they are wolves, so there are even ten people who are afraid to make a herd. Merchants who can't fight will be desperate when they meet.

However, it is said that it is an A-ranked monster with low breeding power, and the total number of black wolves in the world is very small compared to the number of blue wolves. That's why it's a rare monster.

I wonder why Rato, who was supposed to be in such a black wolf herd, is not in the herd now.

That's because he was hit by a crowd.

He was a special individual among the Black Wolf, and one day he was able to use lightning magic.

Originally, Blackwolf was suited to dark magic and was known to use attack-type dark magic, but in addition to that, he woke up to a special power called lightning magic.

I don't know why, but unlike any other Black Wolf, he just wanted speed…

He would catch his prey and collaborate with his people, but Rato himself wanted to run much faster.

Whether that wish is fulfilled or not, one day, the body becomes bigger and bigger, and the hair gradually changes to yellow. Such a peculiar individual was treated as a nail bullet among the black wolves and expelled from the herd.

There may have been a situation where Rat became the leader of the herd and led the herd, but Rat did not.

We know his character a little bit, but there's something we can do about it.

Instead of status or power, he was just attracted to running fast. Even if he left the crowd, it seems that he has only pursued it.

The reason why a monster called a subspecies or rare species basically doesn't form a herd seems to be here.
