Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world

Why did the woman cry after she got food from the kids?

The answer is… because she told us, she had never experienced a situation where someone bought her food or what she mean, a kindness from anyone else. Rather than that, she was often in a situation where she was the one who bought people food.

Diana's story about it made me think that she was exaggerating her suffering. 

Why do I think something like that? Because I believe, as long as a person lives, she or he must have been receiving kindness at least once or twice.

It is impossible, a person lives without ever got kindness.

But... never did I think, after I heard other episodes of Diana's life story, I learned that my beliefs were wrong.

In the story, this Flugel woman was not loved when she was raised. She was always being compared to her sisters. And worse, she became a punching bag for her mother.

Then, when she was old enough to be said to be an adult, she was kicked out of her home. She began to live on the road without any coins in her hands.

For a few days after she lived independently, Diana had to endure hunger until finally, she managed to kill her first monster.

Yes, she became a hunter and her life didn't get any better. She had to go through the harsh twists and turns of life to survive day by day.

With such harsh life, she became strong and she managed to defeat the Guardian on the first floor.

Level 28 and she can defeat that Strong Guardian? That's impossible, right? I thought for a moment.

Unfortunately, that was true, the Guardian's level did not fix but rather followed the level of its challenger. Thus, anyone with any level who wished to conquer the Tower of Challenge would face off against a Guardian that was slightly stronger than them.

Let's forget about the Guardians and go back to Diana.

The woman kept telling us about her life. And I say, to me, she looks more like she's complaining and trying to convey that she's got an unfair life.

And yes, I can tolerance her long, miserable past story considering, and maybe, she doesn't have any friends to share with.

We heard the story of her life but it didn't answer the biggest mystery that brought us together.

"Why did you suddenly fall from the sky?" I asked to satisfy my curiosity.

"... I'm exhausted," Diana voiced the opening line. Together with that, she turns her face away. "I hunted the monsters for a few days before forcing myself to challenge the Guardian on this floor."

"Well… that was reckless! And you're lucky you can fly. Thanks to that, you can get away from the Brown Scorpions that will offend anyone. But then, flying also brings disaster for you. If the kids don't notice you're there, you'll get a worse fate."

Diana nodded then slightly bowed her body towards me. "Thank you for saving me," she told me.

"The kids saved you. So, you know what you have to do."

Afterward, Diana thanked the kids. And yes, the kids made proud and happy expressions. They, especially Kimi, told her to always rely on them.

Then, small talk was created.

I just realized this but yes, I don't know why, something in Diana that could affect my and Ruciel minds didn't work for kids.

I was curious, I wanted to reveal the mystery, but unfortunately, we didn't have time.

The morning was no longer fresh because we spent too much time with Diana. We had to hunt so I invited Ruciel and everyone to leave.

One thing that surprised me, Diana tried so hard to make us stay with her. From the attitude and words, she showed and said, she didn't want to part away with us.

I'm happy to accompany her but unfortunately, we have a plan to be done.

In the end, she was willing to let us go after we promised to visit her again.

So, with that, we left Diana to hunt. And yes, we told Fai about the curse or something that Diana had. We prohibited the nurse from interacting with her. 

If Fai was indeed forced to confront Diana for treatment, Ruciel told the nurse firmly, she would have to use Buff in the Psychic Attack Resistance category first or wait for Diana to fall asleep. As precautions, she told the nurse to use sleep medicine to Diana in the chase, the woman wake up suddenly.

After all, we didn't want Fai to hurt her patients and we didn't want Diana to get hurt. So, that warnings and suggestions she will have.

With a peaceful heart, we left the village.

Savanna is the playground we're going to use.

Today, I plan to hunt down Tear Antelope and Zebril.

Brown Scorpion?

I'm done with that monster. 

Not long after we left the village, we met four of them. They died to give me meat and Magic Stones. So, with that and once again, I have nothing to do with them anymore.

< Dexterity stat up! DEX +2 > ×2

< Hard Scales level up! 1 to 2 >

< Hard Scales level up! 2 to 3 >

< Stat Points and Exp for Skill cannot be obtained from this monster again. >

So, I'm not going to eat their Magic Stones. We, or rather the kids, started to get a steady income on this second floor.

I did say 'the kids' because I didn't take part in the hunt for the Brown Scorpion. Therefore, they have a right to the money obtained from those monsters without having to share it with me.

Ruciel gets a part because she helps the kids to process the monsters they hunt.

That's right, I refrained from interfering in their hunt because I wanted their levels to rise quickly.

But of course, I hunted down other monsters. 

I'm hunting for the injured Tear Antelope.

< Level up! 23 to 24 >

I was so happy when my level went up after killing my first Tear Antelope for today.

And yes, I no longer run around or chase after the Tear Antelope to hunt them down. This time, I asked Ruciel for help to incapacitate them or directly ask her to kill them.

The way that Ruciel used to hunt down the monsters was arguably amazing. The girl made a special arrow of light, arrows that could dart so quickly without making any sound.

That spell — which I knew was Spell after asking her — was a worse nightmare for Tear Antelope than the Medium AGI I had.

The spell killed those monsters as if there was no tomorrow.

With that, my girlfriend gave me meat and Magic Stones from Tear Antelope. And I'll say, she looks so cool and dazzling.

< Agility stat up! AGI +5 > ×3

Our hunt continued and now, hiding behind rocks and bushes, we surrounded a Zebril.

Yes, Zebril is a monster that resembles a horse. However, this monster had six legs, striped skin with a dark black plus brown color, and one horn on its head. The length of this monster's body is close to four meters and it is taller than us.

No, Zebril is not a Unicorn.

Yes, Zebril looks more like Glepnir.

I looked around and then look at every one. There are no monsters around us and I know, everyone has prepared themselves.

So, I signaled to attack.

Chloe immediately raises her staff.

The little girl used Mana Bind with the sole purpose of, to tie Zebril in its place.

Magic Circle appeared under the monster's feet. Shortly after, Kimi and Alan along with me came out of hiding. We approached from three directions to surround and prevent the monster from escaping.

"Hiiegh!" The monster made a voice and tried to leave the Magic Circle.

Unfortunately for it, I attacked it. "[Water Shoot]"

The water bullet I shot managed to penetrate the top part of the monster's front leg. The attack took the monster by surprise for a moment and that, was more than enough for Mana Bind to tie the monster with its blue roots. 

"HIIEGH!!" the monster made a voice again.

This time, the monster's voice was louder. Not only that, the monster thrashed around to escape.

The monster was angry and that became a sign for us not to approach the monster recklessly.

We have the intention to cut Zebril's neck to end its life and this fight as quickly as possible. But unfortunately, we couldn't do that because the monster did a really good job of protecting its neck.

Zebril used its horns as swords and spears. And I will say, the horns and their attacks are extremely dangerous.

So, the neck is out of the question. That's why...

"Cut off these monster legs kids!"

We used another plan. We will snatch this monster's mobility to render it helpless.

For some time, our weapons swung to shed blood and tore through Zebril's skin along with its flesh.

We got it easy because the monster's legs were bound and couldn't be used to run or launch counterattacks.

And... Our plan worked.

When Bind disappeared, Zebril fell to the ground.

The helpless monster meets its end after Alan cuts its neck.

Ruciel did her job to process the monster and as usual, I got the meat along with the Magic Stone.

< Acquired a skill! Long Runner |Lvl 1 >

[Long Runner | Lvl 1] [Passive]

It seemed, from the Stat Points and skills I obtained, the monsters in this savanna told me to run!

But, what do I have to run away from?
