I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

The Approaching Otherworlder

The next morning, after we finished our breakfast, we gather at the place where the slave traders are gathered in preparation to continue the journey.

Anyhow, since were going to swap our post then,or so I thought, so we the rear guard team go to the front guard place, and the one there is Leila-chan who is playing by crushing the lumbers that were used as bonfire and have turned into charcoal with her hand, and woman B who is sitting in shiver while hugging her knees with a pale expression.

Its something I somewhat have predicted, but I still look at the surrounding to grasp the situation. And then, I immediately find the reason.

The ground behind Leila-chan is dyed in dark red. And, from the fact that I dont see man J and woman A, perhaps they were eaten by Leila-chan, werent they? And then woman B accidentally saw that scene, or something along that line, right?

First of all, since shes too pitiful so I come to where the woman B is, and calling out to her.

Umm, are you okay?

Hii! No, no no no no. Im sorry Im sorry please, please dont eat me I dont want to die no, no!

Ah, its hopeless, shes already beyond remedy.

Ah, Kitsune-kun! Morning!

And then, noticing my appearance, Leila-chan greets me while smiling. As if a human.

And when Leila-chan who is approaching me sees the sitting woman B before me, she floats a face that say she just remembered about something.

Umm, last night, I ate both of them before I went to your place, Kitsune-kun and seems like she saw it, you see~ so, to gloss that scene over, I had a chat with her all night long, but she somehow became like this ufufu.

That isnt a laughing matter, dammit.

That means after seeing her comrades, her beloved one got eaten, she sat all night long together with the one who ate them, huh. Her spirit surely was shaved off and crumbled, wasnt it? While thinking about when she might get herself eaten, she had to accompanied Leila-chan who was always came talking to her all night long, after all.

At that state, it may be a bit too pitiful to let her at the same group as Leila-chan again today, right?

Umm hello?

Hiiiii!!

what would happen if I use Eerie Constitution at her right now, I wonder.

As expected of Kitsune-san! Very nasty!

Its been a while since the last time I heard your abusive words, isnt it, Finia-chan?

How should I put it, since it seems like Leila-chan has carved quite a deep trauma upon her, I doubt shed be able to live as an adventurer any longer. At this state, seems like its even impossible for her to continue this guarding request.

Well, thats a matter of course, losing all of her comrades, moreover to be at the same group with the one who killed them, theres no way shed be able to do her job properly, right? Moreover, right now, she has no even an acquaintance at this place.

Hmm it cant be helped then, today Ill take Leila-chan and Finia-chan to guard the front side. Rishe-chan, sorry but could you please guard the rear side again together with this girl?

Well, it cant be helped. I dont mind.

If possible well, please try to encourage her. Lulu-chan, too, could I ask you to do it?

Yes, understood.

Since man J who is supposedly act as the leader has gone, inevitably, I, as the party leader, must take the command rein over.

And after I think about it, I decided to separate Leila-chan and woman B. Appointing Rishe-chan as the temporary party leader, I place Lulu-chan there, too. Since it seems like woman B wont be any help, so perhaps the rear guard would be only these two, though.

However, if I put Finia-chan at the center of the wagon, then shed be able to immediately back them up when needed. As for Leila-chan, as long as Im there, I doubt shed go anywhere, and if theres something appears then Id simply ask her to handle it.

Well then, since it has been decided for the second day, lets do our best.

At my word, everyone nod their heads. Except woman B.

Today, a different man than the yesterday slave merchant is sitting at the coachman seat. I sit next to him, and Leila-chan is sitting between the space of my legs and leaning her body on mine. This coachman seat, actually is pretty spacious. Its spacious enough to have three person sit on it, but the seat part is pretty deep. Perhaps thats why, if I sit deep enough and spread my legs, there would be a space wide enough for a person to sit there. Knowing this fact from yesterday experience, Leila-chan takes this seat positioning, right?

Ufufufu were alone together, Kitsune-kun.

Ah, yes yes, youre right.

You look frail but as expected you sure are still a young male, right? Youre tougher than you look.

Well, thank you.

From a moment ago, Leila-chan is always shifting her neck to face me and comes talking to me. I ignored all of it, but this girl sure is cute, she has a nice scent, and her body is also soft. I can even occasionally see her cleavage from behind. And the coachman man is also stealing glances at Leila-chan bare legs; that are stretching out from her black dress; like a cat.

Since this girl is only wearing a short black dress, her shoulders are exposed, and her bare legs that are stretching out from her cuff are also fascinating. Her collarbone and nape are plain visible, I can even somewhat see her chest, since black sandals are wrapping around her bare feet, so she sure looks like has an excessively high exposure rate.

Im good since I know that shes a demon, but to anyone that dont know about it and think her as a mere normal girl, Im sure shes very popular among numerous male.

Honestly, what a deplorable cutie.

Hmm Leila-chan, that direction can you see something there?

Hmm? Hmm ah, there are several magical beasts there moreover they are coming this way.

I point at a direction where my new skill Intuition somewhat feels a bad presence from there, and when I ask Leila-chan about it, I understand that magical beasts are approaching, just as I expected.

Since shes a demon, her presence perception is beyond human capability. Moreover, since that isnt a skill, it shows just how unworldly she is. There are people who has a sixth sense-like ability that isnt a part of skill, but as expected its inferior to demons, right?

How many of it?

Lets see around three, I think.

Haa.

My intuition tells me that it isnt that much of a threat, but it doesnt change the fact that theres a danger of the approaching magical beasts attack. We have to handle it quickly.

Finia-chan!

Yes! Whats it? Kitsune-san! Does that lustful demon do something to you? Ah! Why are you sitting before Kitsune-san!!

I call Finia-chan who is watching out both sides at the center point. In doing so, Finia-chan immediately flies toward me. Looking at the fact that she immediately suspects Leila-chan, it seems like they cant get along well as expected.

Yes, seems like there are three magical beasts coming from that direction. Can I ask you to handle it?

I dont mind, but u~.

AhLeila-chan, you also go there.

Finia-chan readily accepts my request, but she is surely uneasy about Leila-chan who sits and leaning on me.

Thats why I ask Leila-chan to also go with Finia-chan. In doing so, she immediately turn her face at me and a floats a mischief smile.

Then, kiss me.

Uwah, how bothersome.

Leila-chan is fully aware that she isnt a part of my party. Thats why, she has no reason to obey my order, and she also aware that she has the right to ask for compensation in return.

Moreover, her nature is the worst. She has the right to ask me something as compensation for obeying my order. Like what she just said, shes even able to ask for a kiss. Furthermore, I feel like the more important my order is, the more higher shed ask me in return.

If I dont send Leila-chan out right now, Im sure that Finia-chan wont be at peace, right? As far as Im concerned, I dont want to send out Finia-chan at that kind of mental state, though.

Be that as it may, to move Leila-chan, I have to give her the promised kiss. Once a day, what a troublesome promise I made back then.

got it.

Yaaay. Ehehe, then chu

Mumumumu!

Finia-chan is looking with a very resentful gaze, but Leila-chan is ignoring it and presenting me her lips while closing her eyes.

Come to think of it, isnt it the first time that I become the one kissing?

It makes me a bit nervous. Even if shes a monster, she does have a cute face, after all, so it cant be helped if I feel that way, right?

Haa.n.

N haaa as I thought, you sure are the best, Kitsune-kun! Well then, Ill do my best! Lets go, Finia!

Dont call me like were friends!

Finishing the kiss quickly, Leila-chan stands up fully motivated, and then runs toward the approaching magical beasts alongside with Finia-chan while showing an intense energy.

And then, perhaps Finia-chan is really unhappy about seeing we did a kiss, she flies there with a somewhat angry expression.

And then, perhaps those magical beasts have come quite close to us, so soon after Finia-chana and Leila-chan left, I can hear an intense groan, as if a chicken that got its neck tied. Im sure its an instant kill, isnt it? I bear quite a sympathy toward any magical beast that receive the crash of Finia-chans outburst of anger and Leila-chans intense energy.

Adventurer bro.

Hmm?

And then, the coachman next to me comes to talk at me.

You are quite popular, arent you?

if possible, I want someone to take my place, though.

please do your best.

Thank you.

At first the coachman man is looking at me with a somewhat envious expression, but when I answer him with distant eyes, perhaps he presumes something and gets sympathy on me, he shortly cheering on me.

I feel like I finally feel someones kindness after a long time.

around the same time, at Grandile kingdom.

The hero, Serizawa Nagi steadily increased his strength.

He absorbed everything they taught him as if a sponge, and hed immediately corrected and improving any mistakes they pointed out. He, as a hero, possessed a natural gift in accordance to his duty to fight.

The moment he was summoned as hero, he realized that his physical ability was increased. He already had an excellent physical ability at his former world, but as expected it wasnt something that surpassed humanity level.

Nevertheless, ever since he came to this world, his physical had abnormally increased. He could run faster than a galloping horse, his light jump could easily surpass several meters height, he even could shatter a large rock into pieces with only one punch. That was just how much strength he got.

His initial spec was several times higher than normal. With the guidance of the kingdoms knight, it was a matter of course that he had become far more stronger.

If we used Naginata Kitsunes skill to peek at his status, then it should be around like this.

PT Member : Cecil (Human)

Just around a week ever since he was summoned to this world, he had become absurdly stronger compared to Kitsune. That strength, in adventurer term, it would be approximately about A rank. Even inside this Grandile Kingdom, his strength had been known as the top class across the country.

Moreover, as a young man with handsome face and overflowing sense of justice, he had become intimate and could talk freely with numerous people even inside the castle.

Not just hero in tittle, he had been recognized as a hero in its truest meaning.

Red Night?

Yes the name of an A rank demon that is the closest one to reaches the S rank, demon lord, domain.

Hmm what to do with it?

And that hero, Serizawa Nagi, was currently chatting with Cecil who was always at his side to support him.

The topic was, Red Night that means, about Leila Vermilion.

Of course, they didnt know about the real identity of the Red Night, nor the fact that she had become an S rank demon.

You see, at the neighboring area of Grandile kingdom, there is country named Miniera.

Yes.

There was an information that said that around one week ago Red Night appeared at a forest close to Miniera.

then?

Luckily, it seems like it doesnt make any movement since then, but with one week time has passed, it wont be weird if its suddenly appeared at Grandile kingdoms dominion, or so the possibility I thought.

At Cecils words, Nagi thought about it.

He was sure that around this past one week, the one he spent his time the most with would be none other than Cecil. Therefore, she was the one he trusted the most, the one he depended upon the most.

Till his training as hero finished, no matter how long it was prolonged, she would surely wait for him, and would presented him towel every times the training finished. If he had any troubles about this other world then shed surely help him, even when he was nervous in the audience before the king, she was there to soothe him.

Such mindful and devoted Cecil, for the current Nagi, she had become a partner he could trust the most. Not in romantic way, to the utmost, it was akin to Kitsune and Finias supporting each other relation.

And such Cecil said that, perhaps even for a hero like him, it wasnt something he could easily defeat, he could easily understand that.

And then what kind of demon is this Red Night?

I do not particularly know about it myself, but it is nocturnal and has red eyes. Its body is concealed by a darkish miasma, and no one ever saw its real body however, it could kill anything it encountered, so there is a high possibility that it is out of normally strong.

I see.

Heard that, while slightly feared about that unknown demon, Nagi was slightly interested in it. Perhaps that could be said as trembling in excitement, his body is trembling, and he thought that he wanted to try fight it. If he could defeat that demon then he thought that he could become even more stronger.

Cecil, dont worry?

about what?

Even if that Red Night appeared, Ill definitely protect this country! Im a hero, believe in me.

Nagi lightly smiling. While caressing Cecils charming hair, he reassuringly said so.

Cecil strangely felt as if she received a great sense of security from that word. And then, her cheeks slightly blushing from the smile he floated at her.

I, I belive in you, Nagi-sama.

I see, thank you.

At Cecils fragile words, Nagi was shy.

And then, Cecils face blushed more and she hung her head because of Nagis smile and him caressing her head.

Even the words she just mustered up her strength to say it had sleekly gone away, she lost of words.

However, Cecil thought.

It was because he was kind, strong, although a bit thickheaded, but he would always advancing forward while shouldering everyones expectation, that she wanted to accompany him.

Grandile kingdom, it was a military country that had summoned the hero and put its most strength to subjugate the demon lord. Inside that country, the hero had deepened his bond with the miko who was always together with him.

However, a person who would become a great existence for the hero the similar otherworlder, Naginata Kitsune, was taking along the just mentioned Red Night and had approached him till a very close distance.
