Kuzu Inou【Ondo Wo Kaeru Mono】 No Ore Ga Musou Suru Made - Chapter 55
55 Fox in the hill
I give upI completely lose sight of her.
After that, the blushing Kirishimsan raised her speed without even looking back, and when I realized it, she has already disappear from my vision.
You can say that I can use my secret move Ignition to gain momentum and chase after her, but as expected, if I drop this batterywhen I think about it, I dont dare to use it.
In addition, theres the side effect which is that strong wind pressure. If I use it around Kirishimsanher cloth will surely be lifted. If such thing happen, then, it would be a fatal damage for me. Ignition, Instant, Death.
Thinking that, I chase after her desperately
When I realized it, familiar bushes, and familiar trees.
I feel like I have seen those before, and it also feels like something unfamiliar.
This is thatthe one called stranded.
Im completely lost in the hill.
Well, in the worst case, I can fly up high in the sky, and go back home like that.
Butthe problem is Kirishimsan.
She for sure, in the situation where she advanced to the destination rapidly, and when she realized it, she was alone.
For now, because she has the map and the military GPS device, I want to think that she will reach the destination safely.
However, I give up.
I have no idea where to go.
Thinking that, Im at a loss, but I feel like I saw a small shadow at a distance.
Is it Kirishimsan?
Thinking that, I approach the shadow while pushing my way through the plantsand the shadow gradually becomes clear
I understand that that is not Kirishimsan right away.
Someone I dont knowno, a child. A girl?
Wearing a kimonoI feel like I have seen that appearance before.
No, I dont know her at all, butthat appearance feels like a deja vu.
It looks like the kid noticed me as shes staring at me.
I approach the girl just like thatclose enough to speak softly.
Judging from her physique, about a middle school student, I guess. Shes slightly shorter than Kirishimsan.
Were already close to each other.
ButI couldnt talk to the girl.
Im slightly hesitating on how to talk to her.
Its too odd to meet such a little girl deep in the hill.
A very weird appearance. But she looks familiar.
The appearancefox ears growing from her head, the short skirt kimono, and the wooden clogs. Golden long hair, and young looks. In addition, the several tails growing from her butt, shake as if a different creature.
I have seen this kind of thing many times. Thats right, her appearance is exactly the figure that can be seen in games and animes, Nojyaloli fox.
For now, I said what I thought.
What an impressive quality of cosplay
Its not
The kid denies.
No, no matter how I look at it
Cosplay, right?
No. Mutation-jya
Mutationmutation, huh
Wellfine.
Its no use objecting this kind of hobby (disease) directly.
What is it called? I mean, your character
Name? Whats that?
Name, whats that? So you reply like that, huh
A very hardcore roleplay.
Though the setting is over-sized.
Understand the word cosplay, but not the name
I see, I seeyou dont know your name, huh
On this occasion, Ill go with it.
You see, its the thing thats used by humans to call other humans. Im Atsushi, andother people have different names
The way of callinga person?
Nojyaloli foxs ears rose up.
Amazing. I wonder how does it work.
This kind of thing, seriously a pointless use of technology in delusion
Then, do you want me to give you a name?
Well, in this kind of flow, its this kind of roleplay, right?
Thinking that, I stare at Nojyalolis face for the sake of confirming, and she smiles sweetly
I see Then, Ill give you the best one Shiro
I said what I thought instantly.
After all, its a roleplay on this spot only.
This person is under a disease of cosplaying in this quality in this kind of hill.
After all, I cant finish talking about itas there are many original settings.
Its a doubt whether theres a need for me to intervene the dark history or not, but well, its the thoughts of an experienced person. Probably a play including this kind of conversation.
As an evidence, shes still staring in a daze, and repeating the name that I said randomly.
ShiroShiroShiro?
This acting abilityis she a pro? Thats amazing.
Its the color. The top of your head and the tip of your tails. They are whit, arent they?
I tell her the reason as it is.
Well, to be not tired even in this place might be the reason of the high-quality cosplay.
Really looks real. Like the thick fur.
I can feel the craftsmans soulDont tell me its using real fur? No, this kind of thing might be liable.
Somehowits good
She brushes the top of her head and tails
Shiro, huh. I like it!
She shows her joy by raising her ears.
Seriously, how does it move?
Im glad that you liked it. By the wayIm lost
For now, I leave aside the question on the mechanism, and I explain the problem that must be solved immediately.
What, only that. Follow me. I know very well here. Theres a human living at the shrine on the summit. Youre saying about that person, isnt it?
As I thought, a local girl.
This place seems to be off-limits, butwell, not for a local girl, I guess.
Even I have the experience of playing in such place.
But Ill advice her just in case.
Come to think of it, this place seems to be off-limits, you know? If you play too much in here, you will get scolded and it would be a trouble if you get stranded, you know?
Its not something I can say, though. Then, she answers like this.
What are you sayingIm born and raised in this hill-nojya. In the first place, this hill is my residence-jya. You dont have to worry about such thing
Ah, the daughter of the landlord of this place, huh. Then, I cant be satisfied with many things.
No, it might be just a character setting.
However, what the hell are her parents doing, leaving such a child in here?
Well, maybe her parents gave up on her because shes like this.
Surely, its considerably darkLets not get into it deeply.
So how does those ears work? Its amazing
You mean this? It moves when I want it to move-nojya
Hee. Can I touch it?
No. That place is sensitive-nojya
I know, I know. I know such setting
While repeating such exchanges, walking about 10 minutes
We reached the shrine near the summit.
Thanks. If Im alone, I might have been stranded
Just like that, I thank her, and
Its fine, Atsushi
The kid shows the same smile like before,
Thanks for the nice name
Saying that
Suddenly, she becomes a fox, and starts to run
And disappeared into the deep forest.
Character File 046
NAME: Shiro (Fox in the hill) 3 years old
CLASS: MutatorS-LEVEL ? Not appraised
CommunicatorS-LEVEL ? Not appraised
A fox living in the hill behind the school. A Talent Beast which has Talents. A biholder which possess Communicator which makes it capable of communicating and Mutator which allows it to change into the appearance it images. In order to live in the nature, it even used its Talent to transform into trees and birds
At one point, it read the thoughts of a severe otaku (working on derivative works) who stopped by at the shrine near its habitat, and at that time, it took in the image of what the man was thinking strongly which is being step with a wooden clog by a Nojyaloli fox. As a result, it transformed into a relatively template, Nojyaloli fox. It is learning human language through image.
By the way, it is a male.
DATA:
Communicator is directly appointed as Special Protection Target (Focused Monitoring and Protecting Target).
The surface reason is that they fear that the confidential matters were read and spread, but whats more scarier is that the possibility of reading Talent Image, and make other people to write it down.
This became clear by the secret research Talent User Production Project during the war (rather than that, it was decided when the Talent User Production Project found this), but it became a secret information of the top class of the countrys higher ups.
