One-Tailed who had become cavalry riding mode was running in nature with me on her back.
Through the forest, through the grasslands, through the wilderness.. arrived to the next city by the time the sun rose in the morning.
Iâm not in adult form, but in 10 years old me, so there is no problem with weight, but her stamina is still pretty good.
Is this the power of a youkai?
But having said that, the walking speed of One-Tailed in cavalry riding mode is faster than expected.
It takes three days of walking to cover the distance in one night.
And unlike a horse, even if thereâs no road or unstable road conditions, itâs hard for this kid whoâs a fox to lose her balance, which is also her charm point.
âHave I been useful to you, Mister?â
âWellâŚI have to admit it.â
âHmphâŚ.. Alright. Iâm counting on you for breakfast.â
Saying so, One-Tailed licked her body that she had turned into a beast with her tongue, and after being satisfied, she transformed back into a young girl.
She seemed to be able to transform freely without any restrictions.
I thought to myself as I hand out the convenience store onigiri in front of One-Tailed as promised.
If I think about it, there should be a race called beastmen in this world, and letâs forget about whether beastmen can change into calvary riding mode or not, thereâs no problem if One-Tailed follows me like this.
Although this kidâs race is indeed a youkai, at first glance it looks like a fox beastmen, or at least thatâs what it looks like.
Besides, from the look of the changes, she can probably hide her ears and tail at will.
The only problem is that One-Tailedâs combat strength is very low, and the disputed continent we are heading to is dangerous.
If One-Tailed can also get advantage of occupation correction in different world, I can travel with her while train herâŚ.. but will the rules of this world apply to youkai?
If it doesnât apply, I want some ways to strengthen her.
I want some information, so letâs appraisal it.
I check out One-Tailed, who is devouring an onigiri with a happy expression.
[One-tailed Youkai Fox, Momoji]
Good at hiding body psionics.
Fast at escaping and can also turn into a mounted beast.
Although her power is still growing, her potential ability is comparable to that of a Sub-God.
If she eats well, sleeps well, and having fun, she will eventually be able to become a great Nine-Tailed youkai.
She is tremendously weak.
âŚHmm.
So thatâs how it is?
No, thatâs how it is.
I get it roughly. Anyway, as long as this kid lives full of energy and happily, she will become stronger one day.
If she eats, sleeps, and having fun as much as she can, sheâll become a nine-tailed youkai, so I guess thatâs it.
But what I donât understand is that âsomeday she will become a great Nine-Tailed youkai and comparable to that of a Sub-Godâ.
Eh? What is Nine-Tails are in the same level as Sub-God?
Thatâs bad, if such a monster on Earth trying to break the seal.
If this information is true, I wouldnât be able to fight against Nine-Tails with my current fighting strength. Rather, I donât know how much power the Togami family and their associates have yet, but if we compare combat power with the Dragon God of this world, for example, we can only see a future of total annihilation no matter how much we think about it.
Wouldnât that be bad?
The bad possibility is, some of the cities will be destroyedâŚ.
âHey, One-Tailed, is your mother really strong?
âHm? Yes, sheâs strong. Maybe the female Onmyouji who tried finish me off before this, well I donât think it would be a match even if there were 10,000 of them head on.â
One-Tailed replied as if she wasnât interested, and then ate her breakfast one bite at a time.
I see, even if there were 10,000 Kuroko, they couldnât beat her head-onâŚ
Itâs really the power of that of a Sub-God, One-Tails.
âBy the way, people around there call her The Great Youkai, but is she actually a God?â
âOooh~, not quite sure. Even though humans say sheâs a Great Youkai, I canât tell whoâs telling the truth when my mother calls herself a land god. After all, Iâm just a mere youkai.â
Probably One-Tailsâs statement of the land god is correct.
In fact, the appraisal tells that it is comparable to the sub-god. Although I donât know what the land god is, the god point cannot be wrong.
Well, itâs not like I know what I can do, but I canât be lazy in leveling up now.
Itâs mainly for me to survive.
After that, we donât go into the town and continue the journey by running wild in the wilderness, dealing with the monsters that appear from time to time in the mountains.
Sometimes, it surprised the the wagons and travelers that passed by, but it may be that they mistakenly thought that I was a beast tamer who subdued and ensl*ved the demon, they understood that I was traveling since 10 years old me in cavalry riding mode.
Occasionally, when I take a break, someone will ask me where Iâm going, or say hello to a rare monster Iâve brought with me, etc⌠In a world where monsters exist, One-Tailed isnât particularly noticeable in a bad sense, and has become accustomed to it.
I donât know if she is aware of this, but she seems to pretend to be just a wild animal when she encounters humans in her cavalry mode.
The kid is smart in this regard, able to read the atmosphere and flow of the scene and grasp the situation immediately.
Although the combat ability is only at the level of a low level adventurer, she doesnât seem to be a burden.
And then during the journey, crossing several towns and finally arriving near the border of the country, our journey was progressing well, I heard this rumor from a merchant from a neighboring country.
âA talented girl knight who became a Paladin at the age of 13?â
âThatâs right. Iâm a merchant after all, so Iâm very sensitive to such rumors. It seems that a noble girl in that country became a Paladin by using swords and magic, and was hired as one of the knights with power in that country.â
Hmm~, the noble girl who become a PaladinâŚâŚ..
Sounds familiar.
By the way, has Mizzet been doing well since then?
Sheâs also a noble girl and dreams of becoming a Paladin.
Sheâs not a super genius like the one who became a Paladin at the age of 13, but sheâs got a lot of talent. She might be able to compete with that genius girl sooner or later.
âOh, I see. There is a young girl who was aiming to become a Paladin among my acquaintances, so I feel nostalgic for her. Ah, as a thank you for the information, Iâll buy one of those fruits.â
I gave a coin to the merchant who had told me an interesting story to thank him.
âHahaha, thank you for your patronage. Then Iâll tell you one more tidbit of news. I remember that the girl who became a Paladin at a young age is looking for a boy who supported and guided her when she was a child. He should be around the same age as you are now⌠âŚ. But that was a long time ago⌠that boy has grown up by now, right? Geez, what a romance!â
The merchant told me the additional information and crossed the border with a smile on his face.
âŚâŚ.Hmmm, âlooking for a boy about my ageâ.
Huh?
This one, isnât it exactly Mizzet?
Whatever, whatever, sheâs already living on her own anyway.
Even if that girl was Misette, I shouldnât have stepped in after all this time.
Despite the cold sweat, I decided not to worry about it and presented the adventurer card to the soldier guarding the border.
