Chapter 98
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 imagined a bear or tiger but, this isn’t either of those .
「……Fox!」
It might’ve understood my words, it might not have, it cast a sharp glance at me .
I had to half close my eyes due to the air pressure from its tail moving in a menacing way .
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 swallowing her saliva, she slowly circled behind my back as directed .
From there I entrusted the Rin-chan on my back to her .
Fight……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 somehow sensed intelligence from .
The distance between us is around 10 meters I guess .
It’s not a distance where I could turn my back and escape .
That’s something like telling a beast please attack me so it’s out of the question .
I don’t have many options .
If I run away, there’s nothing except gradually backing away while maintaining visual contact .
If we compare our endurance, while continuing 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 become your opponent for you . 」
While conveying a gesture 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 means life or death, it’s a fight to the death just as the words imply .
For some reason this forest, absorbs the atmosphere’s magic power .
Therefore released magic will vanish and, used magic power won’t return .
But, it hasn’t absorbed even the magic power stored within this body .
There should be a way to fight .
I picked up a rock fallen at my feet .
facing the nine tails seeming to observe me as always without showing any 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 something that can’t be ignored irregardless .
「Fuu!」
I did a full power dash at that point as if crawling on the ground .
I managed the circulation of lightning in my body .
Moving my agility up, I went into nine tails’s breast like a bullet .
Passing through its front legs, I slid under its stomach .
「Shitty beast!!」
I pounded 2 lightning punches into its virtually defenseless stomach .
Without stopping, I continued to roll out and took my distance for the moment .
「--Fuuuu」
A tail slowly turning its body, faces toward me as I exit to the other side .
I can’t sense any damage .
Looking with a sharp gaze, it seems that its anger has increased though .
……This really isn’t a normal animal is it, this .
Since I wouldn’t expect a simple animal to dismiss my magic .
What to do .
While I’m fighting with limited energy, I still won’t run out of magic power that quickly .
「Behind me!?」
We continued glaring at eachother and, this time nine tails’s form vanished without a sound .
Beyond the edge of my vision at the edge of my conscious .
I caught the opponent’s claw with indirect vision .
「Kuu!」
Bending my back enough to be parallel with the ground, 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 that manner I planted my hand and jumped backward, righting my posture .
But the opponent closed in to meet me .
I can’t grasp his range!
Even fleeing backward is impossible……I must go forward here!
Planting my flowing body, I took aim at the pursuing 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 my palm into its side .
It should have been charged but, was the sensation of pain on level with static electricity I guess?
「Zee, zee……」
I finally returned to a deadlocked confrontation again .
……The stamina consumption in a cross fight is intense isn’t it .
Nine tails carefully observed me while I breathed roughly .
I had an abnormally bad feeling .
I want to pound Eclair’s Flame into it, before I use up my body’s magic power .
――As I was pondering, nine tails’ body was suddenly blown away .
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 something readied .
「Gun!!」
A handgun!
You built a gun, Saira!?
「Mana・Revolver desu nya!」
A magic gun is it!
Certainly, that burst of force was something magical .
Impressive, Saira!
Hasn’t that already become, something incredible in terms of battle power!?
However Saira’s eyes swam at my heated gaze .
「But……the problem is that the bullets require too much money and, that if it doesn’t have magic power put into each and every bullet it can’t fire nya……」
「That, that so . 」
Don’t mind Saira .
Even saying that 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 stumbled as if it got a good punch .
「Cast release! Flame!!」
The crimson flame engulfed 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 flame, the nine tails crouched .
I thought I might’ve brought it down but, the effect really was cut in half .
The magic flame quickly vanished .
……The damage is?
「――It doesn’t hurt . 」
I was astonished, at the third party’s voice that shouldn’t be here .
While thinking it was impossible I gazed at the voice’s master――nine tails .
「You’ve come to use something bizarre . My child said a human came falling from the sky so, I wondered what it was . 」
The nine tails raised its body like it was bothered .
「An adorable elf magician with, a beastman of my lineage 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 me in the same category as those other animals . 」
I certainly did think it had intelligent eyes but, this was outside my expectations……
And so I suddenly felt bad .
「A, ano . 」
「Nn? What is it?」
「To start with, I’m sorry . I didn’t think my words would get through so, I attacked……If you want a heal, I can do that so . 」
While stroking the Caster Glove on my left hand, I tried to explain my actions and apologize .
「I, I I, I as well . I am very sorry . 」
Saira also lowered her secret weapon the magic gun and, frenetically lowered her head .
With this development I don’t know who the random attacker is……
But since I didn’t think I could talk to an animal……
「I don’t mind, it didn’t cause anything significant . I am an immortal divine beast . I won’t grow angry 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 troublesome image though .
Do I have to reexamine the types of legends that I know and the other world’s reality?
Or perhaps……
「Thank you very much . 」
But realistically the best option is to avoid combat right now .
「I don’t dislike children with proper manners . Furthermore acting as I did was also wrong I 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 . 」
