Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 179

“[Impale]”

The spear in my hand pierced through Steam Boar’s head. Certain that the monster died because of it, I pull out my spear. I walk away, leaving the death monster to approach the other two Steam Boars that was moving slowly.

What am I going to do?

That’s obvious, isn’t it? I’m going to kill them because I need Exp. They are the sacrifices that will make me stronger!

I was in front of them after eleven steps, my hands on the move, and my spear pierced through their skulls. I’m able to kill them almost simultaneously because they stand side by side.

I didn’t use too much power to pierce through their hard skin and skulls, I just needed to put a little pressure on my spear and stab!

I made holes without effort.

Yes, my new strength is the cause.

And hey! I managed to control my power!

Swift Movements is the benefactor.

That Advance Skill helped me to sense my new, out-of-control power clearly. It allows me to determine how much power I have to use every time I move or attack in fighting.

Of course, I didn’t get that control in a short period. I had to hunt for a day and a half and kill dozens of monsters to get it.

My hard work paid off. I’ve gained perfect control over my power. I breathed a sigh of relief because of it. No longer am I worried about the possibility that I might have killed someone during a duel.

Now, I’m ready.

And yes, the dozens of monsters I killed gave me Exp, Stat Points, Skills, and a Soul. I absorbed all those blessings, I grew stronger, more than ever…

At least, that’s what happened… earlier.

“That’s so stupid and I’m not surprised about what you do anymore,” Ruciel commented after I told her about my new problem. She massaged her forehead and sighed. “So, the point of your story, you do train yourself to control your strength but since you’re eating too much and your level is increased drastically, your power is back out of control?”

“…yes,” I confess with embarrassment.

“…”

“Say something!” I called out to that Fallen Elf girl.

I felt extremely uncomfortable when she stared at me without a voice. Besides, why did she look so weak and as if giving up on something?

What happened to her? I wondered.

“Alright, I’ll say something.” She nodded. After that, she picked up her bag which is lying on a log. “Let’s go back to the village.”

Her decision made my fox ears twitch in surprise. We can’t go back now. Was she didn’t understand that my power lost control again? She hears all my explanations, right?

“…what about my training?” I asked timidly.

“I. Don’t. Want. To do this meaningless hunt again!” Clearly, she’s angry. Her tone went up as she said, “Let’s go back!”

“Yes Ma’am!” I said in vigor, with my back straight. For a moment, she looked so terrifying.

With that, I didn’t have another chance to do some training for the sake of controlling my power.

Yes, it’s not a good thing.

We’re going to the main city of the Shadow Elves race, Jeraun, this afternoon! We’re going to see the Lunar Festival and I’m going to take part in the tournament that’s being held there! With my out-of-control power, I could kill someone accidentally!

That was not a good thing.

Not good at all!

“Ruciel, can we-”

“No,” she cut me off. Her long ears made a strong jolt. “We won’t hunt, I won’t let you do some training. We’re going to Jeraun this afternoon and don’t forget, your friend, Empress Dishonesty will visit the village to see you. We will not neglect those two things to fulfill your selfish and foolish desires. We go back to the village, I don’t accept rejection.”

“…right.”

My fox’s ears and tail hung weakly.

I’m doomed!

Despair colored my heart as we were on a journey back to the village. I was so weak and had no desire to do anything until…

A Two Head Bear ambushed us!

I just realized this! Although Ruciel forbids me to hunt, I can still kill monsters that ambush us along the road!

I can take advantage of this opportunity to grasp my strength!

My Stats was reduced by ten percent because I ate Devil Bear’s soul. So, trying to gain control of my power would be even easier!

I twist my body to dodge the Two Head Bear’s claws. Then I stepped to its side. My steps were awkward but I began to master my footwork.

“[Fast Swings]”

My spear became three flashes of light that tore through the Two Head Bear’s left hand and shoulder. I gave the monster severe injuries in an instant and easily! My strength surprised me.

“Gawr!” Two Head Bear roared. It approached me slowly.

Yes, slowly. I’m sure the monster used up all its abilities but still, it is slow. The difference between our strengths is so distant and it’s so ridiculous.

My feet are on the move. I approached the monster as it ran. My actions took the monster by surprise, leaving its defense open.

It was an opportunity and I took it.

“[Impale]”

My spear pierced through its lower jaw and brain without resistance.

I won this fight. The monster that loses is dead.

With thud! Two Head Bear fell to the ground.

“I didn’t have the time or desire to process this monster so let’s put all its bodies in the Magic Bag,” Ruciel said.

The girl did what she said and our journey continued. Unfortunately, for the next few minutes, no monsters attacked or ambushed us.

Our journey was peaceful.

I didn’t get another chance to train.

Bored, I started swinging my spear. A few minutes later, I started to use Swift Movements. Another idea came up and I made the trees along the road as a target for my training.

Of course, I didn’t cut down those trees. I just cut a few twigs and made holes in those trees using my spear.

Jumping, running, launching attacks, and using Arte made my control over my power even more refined.

I’m sure I’ll make it before we get to the village but…

“Can you stop destroying nature!?” Ruciel shouted at me. Her eyebrows arched deeply as her eyes glared at me. “Walk beside me without doing anything else besides walking, now!”

I… I can’t go against her orders. I walked up to her weakly along with my hanging ears and tails.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Shut up!” She snapped at me.

“…”

So… From that point, until we reached the village, I did nothing but walk. Yes, monsters were coming to attack us but Ruciel handled it.

She didn’t let me do anything else but walk. She even told me to shut up every time I started talking.

“You’re so mean,” I whispered.

Ruciel who heard me turn around. She glanced at me then… That’s all. She didn’t say anything then back to ignore me and kept walking.

In the end, we reached the village.

I knew she was coming but, when I got to the village gate only to see her sitting on a white chair while enjoying a cup of tea, I’m surprised.

I couldn’t believe it, she even brought the tables and chairs we had used to have tea together at our previous meetings.

Without expression, Dishonesty said, “finally, welcome home, Eclaite.”
