I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

sacred animal

The spirits who came all the way around us.

You thought that was unusual, or two new elf men came.

"Hey, why is there a human here!?

"Master Ferris! Are you all right!

Things got tough again, but Ferris managed to settle down. He seems to be discussing what to do about my response right now.

A little tension about the Spirit being devoid of even magic, he raised a boring voice and disappeared into the void.

And for a while.

Ferris and the elves have been discussing this with me since the beginning.

That's the elf man. It is very beautiful and refreshing. It's no match at all for a handsome human being.

"No, but are you sure?

"You're human, aren't you? It might strike us."

I'm sorry. He might give me a break because he found out where he was, but there's no reason for me to attack the elf at all.

No, but isn't it surprising that they think so if what happened back in the day is true?

"I think it's going to be okay. You saw the number of spirits earlier, didn't you? The Spirit does not come near the evil heart."

"Th, Though That Is"

"Anyway, it's not up to us. Let's take you under your grandmother."

"But it's still dangerous. Even if you're not in the settlement..."

I thought the conversation might have come to a close and I decided to beat up Yak who had passed out because it was still going to go on.

"Hey, wake up."

When he poked his face, he woke up awake.

Then he paid off the sand on his body by trembling, and shook his head with a chirp.

It's a delicious thing.

"That, what was I doing?

"He was scared by the arrow and passed out."

I fingered the arrow that caused it to Yak, who I don't remember because of his passing out.

Yak sent his gaze to the arrow that pierced the ground in a slow motion,

"Hmm? Oh, yeah! If you don't hide, the arrows will fly again!

Suddenly, I squatted in motion like I was bounced. Looking at the arrows, they brought back the fear earlier.

"No, no, because it's okay now"

"Ho, is that true?

When I forgive him, Yak looks up like he's scared.

Holding his tail in a frightened manner can stir up his desire for asylum. Of course, we need to talk about something extra.

"Th, Could That Be Yacklebank!?

If you realized it, you would have come close to finishing the conversation, Ferris raised his voice in amazement.

"What's wrong with you?

"Something's wrong or nothing, Yacklebank is said to bring abundant grace to the forest, it's a sacred animal!

"Uh? This the guy?

Ferris comes to me like he's excited, but it doesn't seem that way to me.

Fishing for people's food or riding on people's backpacks in pain of walking. Though he's just a guy who says things all the time or takes a nap.

'That's why I told you. I'm a great animal!

Even if I turn a jittery gaze, I just stand up and chest up to see how Yak is doing. It doesn't seem like a very dignified breeze when a yak with an elongated torso stands.

I pick up a yak called sacred and watch.

Then Ferris and the elves said, "… Ah!," he whispered.

What do you say? Have you noticed my overflowing sanctity?

"…… it doesn't look sacred at all."

"What!? You don't believe me when I say this!

"Do you really have the ability to enrich the forest?

'Oh, come on, it's true. The woods I live in are so rich. Well, actually, I don't carry grace just because I want to live in a rich forest! Just leave as soon as you think it's a bad forest.'

What an easy reason to understand. I guess that's what they say, because if it wasn't really liveable, I'd be out as soon as I could.

Maybe the same idea as a bird who only lives in a beautiful river or something.

I think they were also loud about the river being dirty or the air being bad. They were basically nervous so it was difficult to deal with them.

Holiness is just because the hairs are white and beautiful.

"Well, I thought that would happen anyway."

"Nice! Even you have a good place to live."

"Well, that's right"

It makes me laugh when a sacred animal who is said to bring abundant grace to the forest finds out who he is like this.

"……… hey, you. What are you talking about and laughing at by yourself from earlier?

When I was laughing, Ferris asked me.

What an obvious dongle the elf men are.

Shit. I've been talking to Yak here for a long time. But I want to avoid being alerted or kicked out for suspicious behavior in this situation.

So for the first time, I decided to talk about my abilities.

"No, that's why you just said it. He said he could talk to most creatures. That's why we can have a conversation with the Yacklebanks here and with the spirits earlier, right?

I meant to be serious, but the elf men leaked laughter.

Perhaps it was understood that he was a special person who could communicate with the elves.

The same goes for Ferris, who doesn't seem to believe that.

"Exactly. You won't have that. I can still believe you had the ability to communicate with me. As for Yacklebank, he's an intelligent animal, so he just kind of understands the language and reacts somehow."

I knew it wouldn't be easy for you to believe me.

Well, even I would react that way if I actually asked. He said he would just be talking to a friendly animal.

He just stops by when he calls the horse's name, and he probably doesn't think he's exchanging words.

I said it with a laugh, Ferris.

"- Just"

I suddenly got a serious look.

"I can't just admit about the Spirit. You said the Spirit taught you the word, but you lied."

"Why is that?"

"We who have an affinity for the Spirit, even the Elves, cannot listen to the Spirit. Being human, it's impossible that you heard the Spirit."

"So thanks to this ability..."

"I'll admit you're a special person with the ability to talk to us, but I won't admit about the Spirit, never. We can't even exchange words to draw the spiritual blood, can we?

I try to make you understand, too, but it is inhibited by the tone of Ferris, who opens his mouth but harshly.

There was a willingness to reject it from her blue eyes that it would never be acceptable.

They say the elves and spirits are so close.

Apparently, they took my words for an insult.

"Yacklebank or whatever the Spirit is missing, I know he's not a man with an evil heart, but watch out for words. Don't talk about exchanging words with spirits."

I had no choice but to shut up about what the elf man had to say.

'Well, don't be depressed. You'll find out soon enough.'

Yak in my arms inspired me to just make me feel a little easier.

I gently stroke my yak in gratitude.

Yak didn't tear me up as usual, he stayed jizzy.

"…… by the way, the"

"Something?

Unlike earlier, Ferris says the toothpick looks bad. Something is wrong with my body.

"Well, why don't you let me hold the Yacklebank, too? I've never touched it."

I shrugged away at that voice that I squeezed out of embarrassment.

That seems to be the same for the elf men,

"Well, what can we touch?
