Ryuji and Irina step on the teleportation circle after preparing everything they would be needing
they appears in the woods in a forest called beastwood this is ruled by the beastmen. a lot has changed since you were sealed in the labyrinth ryuji says
"No, this forest is just like before and beastmen lived in this forest in the past.
both of them start walking in the outer direction of the forest; they hear sounds of men chatting in loud voices. this beast girl is going to fetch a good prize. Ryuji tells Irina they are slave traders; they will sell anything that can fetch a good price. Both of them see a girl around 16 years old in a disheveled state.
irina steps on a dry leaf fallen at most of the places; the traders notice a young man and a girl behind the trees looking at them with sharp eyes; those traders dismisses ryuji totally and ask Irina, Do you want to go elsewhere, pretty lady? we can drop you.
"Irina scoffs and says, can't you see i have a companion with me?" I can go on my own , she says to Ryuji. I'm killing these people. i'm really pissed off. These people are selling slaves and asking me if i want to join them. i he remarks just burn them and totally ignores the fox girl. Irina asks, what about that girl?
We don't have to kill her; she is innocent." After tying slave traders to the tree with iron chains
they start asking the fox girl questions. Irina asks, why are you here? Where is your family?" Ryji asks, who are you and why alone here in the outer woods of the forest
she nervously replies I can't reply to all the questions you have if you keep asking questions like this. Slow down a bit
I'm a nine-tail fox beastman, and why i am here is due to there were some mages in black robe that attacked our village some days ago and my father is the current chief
and he dropped me here and said I will find some good people. She starts sobbing and said, Im the only survivor of our clan so i have to survive until the people my father told will show up, so' I m waiting for them , cause they are my last hope to avenge my clansman
Irina says to him, we should help her; she is just like us. She doesn't seem to have anyone to rely on. if we all work together we might have better chances of living peacefully
He begrudgingly accepts taking in the girl
the fox girl speaks: do i have no say in this matter? What if you are not good peoples what will i do then
he angrily states, "we just saved your life; what is it said if not a good deed?"
irina ask the fox girl do you really think they were the only slave traders in the vicinity and by the way you don't look that strong to me you have potential but not strong currently
The fox girl says, Ok, I can join you guys until i find a better replacement. he says to Irina, Are you sure about that? this girl looks like real trouble to me.
"how can you be so heartless towards a beautiful girl? what kind of joke is that? You should see irina she is way more beautiful than you, but i'm a beastman. If you don't know beastmen from our clan, are famous in the whole empire for their looks
i don't know about your clan but you certainly don't come in that category
Whatever, i will just go with you guys
they starts walking towards the closest city. we should rest today in the Rosharr city and leave for the mainland tomorrow. he hears some kids screaming for help in a very low sound. no one notices but due to ryuji's physical evolution, he hears it properly even from far away. he asks irina do you hear it?" "What?" hearing the sounds of kids screaming for help. She replies no. Fox Girl chimes in; i can hear it clearly.
wait how can you hear it? if irina can't ,i'm a beastman; our listening and smelling are two of our expertise. the question is, how can you hear it? .
he asks, why didn't you tell us if you heard someone asking for help? I thought it wasn't a good a thing to tell. you don't look like a person who can help others without any reason
Don't forget, I was the one who saved your life from those slave traders a little while ago. how ungrateful a person can be.
all of them arrives at the place from were sounds are coming
there lie 5 kids; their clothes surely tell they are students from Magic Training Academy of rosharr City. a team of bandits is trying to kidnap them. those bandit's already killed all there guards sprawled all over the ground
in them, a girl with turquoise hair stands out the most with her looks. Those kids looks like they are from some noble families, he said
irina says to ryuji we should help them, i think.his body starts releasing black lightning sparks and he disappears . he shows up in front of those kids and with a gun, he fires directly in their heads
the kids were surprised by someone appearing in front of them suddenly. girl with turquoise hairs looks at him like the last hope of life
bandit's fall down one by one. .irina and fox girl comes out from the trees and ask the kids if they are fine
Those kids ask," what is your name, kind sir?" My name is ryuji katsunagi and what might be yours? . the turquoise haired girl eagerly speaks, i'm Lilith Burkes And a boy with blonde hair says, i'm Euan Burkes another girl jumps in. I'm Phoebe Eldwar. The red-haired boy says, i'm Osilis Skyrim and the other girl says'm Eirawen Kymil. fox girl says she is irina and me; you can call anything
osilis says why is a beastman talking to us like equals? "Ryuji and irina's shift to cold, and they ask, you got some problem, kid?" if you want to go home in one piece, you better shut that filthy mouth of yours.
Osilis's face turn red in anger and he says, know your place I'm from the Skyrim family. I'm not asking for your family name, coward . just a moment ago you were trembling like a little kid. The other 4 kids try to calm the situation.
lilith says Osilis you can't speak like that to the people who just saved our lives. he turns his head with defiance and states he is just a normal adventurer. how strong can he be? all 4 kids think. Normal, you say but i don;t feel anything normal about this guy
ryuji asks, can you tell me some place to stay? i m new here." Lilith speaks, sir my family has many inns in the city. i can help you book the best rooms available. no need just tell me the way that is good for staying a night. sir please let me me pay for your stay; you saved us that's the least i can do
