Rebirth Into A Fox From Another World

Chapter 7:First Battle

A path leading out of from the deep forest.

It was a single road way.

I ascend the path.

Moving around is actually more pleasant than you'd expect.

Even places that light fails to reach are perfectly visible to my fox eye.

I would more around slowly-checking every step-when I was inexpirience; and, fox aren't that fast to begin with, compare to other animals.

Now, I normally move at a walking pace, but can also run faster than normal animal. Nor do I get tired.

But, since I don't have any reason to hurry, I move at a moderate pace. Calmly and cautious

I swear this is not the result of a trauma from the first time I wonder around and end up in the middle of a forest fire !

A short while after, I can see light appeared before my eyes.

Meaning I'am at the edge of the forest.

Nothing that strange about it. But, that's because this development is common.

Without hesitating I ran into edge of the forest, smiling happily with tears of joy flowing from my face....

Clack clack clack!!!

A clacking sound of metal coming right in front of me.

A little flustered, I hid by the edge of the path, and observed the situation.

(Its been ages, huh. Since we the "living" enter the forest...)

(Hey, that's only to be expected. Don't they say that no one entered here in 300 years?)

(Not on record, at least. But more importantly, are we really going to be fine? We won't be attacked suddenly, right?)

(Gahahaha! Don't worry. He might have been unrivaled 300 years ago, but times have changed. I mean, ain't he just a similar to demi-human! I've subjugated Monarch by myself. Leave it to me!!!)

(About that, I've wondered for a while, but that's a lie, isn't it? Monarch are ranked B+, right? Solo subjugation would be impossible for Cabal-san, wouldn't it?)

(Fool! I am a B rank myself! They are just big pussy cat; no trouble at all!)

(Okay, okay, I got it, so would you please not let your guard down? Well, if it comes down to it, I'll just escape using "Forced Withdrawal"...)

(Guys, I got the extent of your friendship, so could you please be quiet? You'll blow my "Camouflage Skill")

Somehow, a boisterous trio had entered.

I wonder why...
Actually... why do I understand their words?

*ping*

I see, I remember.

It's just like father when we first met,
I can't talk to them in this form, but at least I can understand them.

Thank goodness. I had always been bad with English.

I think that if you live in Japan there should be no need to study foreign languages.

Those who plan to go abroad can struggle by themselves.

But that excuse won't work here. I'll probably have to learn eventually.

Well, that matter can rest for now.

What should I do?

I don't know what they came to do... but they seem like adventurers.

Did they come searching for treasures and stuff?
