Note:you can imagine yourself what kind of demi human she talking to; whether a racoon, rabbit ,etc.

I glanced at the Demi-Humans.

The Demi-Humans are, from what I can see, pretty desperate.

They are on guard, weapon in hand; and are politely calling out to me.

Unfortunately, many seem to have run away already.

But as expected of the leader,
He looks me straight in the eye... err, straight at me.

Alright.

I feel some intelligence from this one. Might be able to talk properly.

Will my voice reach in this form..? I would rather not show my human form just yet.

I tried attaching thought to the spoken words and sending them to demi-human.

「Should I say, pleased to meet you? I am the Spiritual Fox, Kitsuna.」

The Demi-humans began murmuring among themselves.

Were they surprised that a fox spoke? Or so I thought, but...

Among them, a few wearing plain clothing threw away their weapons.
I don't really get it.

(We are very aware that you are a powerful spiritual being, we beg of you pls tone your voice!)

Mu? Were the thoughts I attached too strong?

So I guess telepathy is a no go. They'd just be more afraid.

(My bad. I still can't regulate it very well.)

I guess I'll apologize.

(Ah. No need apologize to us! We are unworthy of such forgiveness, still it is a suprise to us that a spiritual Fox can talk

on top of that we never seen a fox to had three tail before.)

Seems like my words are reaching them.

This is some good practice.

Oh and by the way, I'm speaking Japanese, yet somehow, they are understanding.

(So, what do you need from me? I don't have any particular reason to be going this way, either.)

Since they have politely asked questions, I guess I'll politely answer.

And maybe it was too much, but to make sure they continued fearing me, I said that rather forcefully.

(Glad you ask. On this path, our village is just up ahead. We felt a strong monster, so we came as precaution.)

(A strong monster's presence? One that I have not detected..?)

(Haha, hahaha, are you joking! Even clothed in that form, we will not be fooled!)

It seems like they've completely got the wrong idea. Warning! The one who's mistaken is Kitsuna!

They are completely convinced that a powerful monster took the shape of a fox.

As would be expected from Demi-humans, who are famous for being used race on most isekai series.

After talking to the demi-human for a while, it seems like I'll be imposing on their village.

That is, it seems like I'm staying over.
Though they look shabby, it seems they have a big heart.

And though I don't need to sleep, taking a break might be a good idea.

With that thought, I decided to accept the offer and go to their village.

.

We discussed many things.
