Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world

"Why are you detaching yourself from your party? Where're the other members?"

I haven't had time to answer the previous question but this red-haired woman has already given me another question?

"I'm not detaching myself from any Party or I've been in a Party before."

The woman fell silent and gave me a probing glance. Seconds later, two women and two girls came to us.

Their Full Plate Armor has a similar design and color. It made me recognize them as knights in the blink of an eye.

I want to ask the Adventurer for help to save my little sister and my beloved one. But, it doesn't hurt if I ask these knights for help instead.

So, I approached the red-haired knight to take her hand.

"Please help me miss knight!"

The sudden request I had just uttered made the red-haired knight stiffen and blink a few times when she look at me.

This knight may be surprised by my attitude.

"That's what I'm doing, I'm trying to save you," she explained as she woke up from her stiff state.

I'm glad she's willing to help me. But...

"No, you don't understand. The help I asked for was not to save me. The help I need is to save my little sister and the girl I love."

"Your sister? Your love one? They still here?"

I nodded and gave an additional explanation. "Yes, if I don't save them immediately. I'm afraid the jerk will kill them."

"Wait a minute, the jerk? What do you mean by the jerk? Your sister and loved one isn't threatened by the monsters but by someone?"

"Yes-"

I opened my mouth, ready to give another explanation. However, before I could say that another explanation, the blue-haired knight suddenly interrupted me.

"Captain Rose, we can't linger here any longer. There are still a lot of monsters that we have to hunt down."

"Wait a minute, Clematis. I have to hear this girl first," said Rose, who saw a blue-haired knight named Clematis. A moment later, the red-haired knight looked back at me. "Please, explain everything briefly and clearly."

I nodded, took a breath, and started telling her my story.

"The jerk, my crazy and cruel stepfather turned into a monster because of the Skill, Monster Soul Transmutation. He kidnapped my sister and my loved one. I had to save them as quickly as possible because I didn't want them to get hurt. And we have to defeat the jerk before it's too late."

"Your father turned into a monster? What kind of monster?"

I moved my body then my left arm to point at the jerk who is rampaging in the distance before saying, "that monster."

I heard five people take a deep breath by the time I finished speaking. I moved my head. There, I saw five people who put on expressions of disbelief, going back and forth looking at me and the jerk in the distance.

"That monster is your father!?" Rose asked in a high tone, not out of anger but because she didn't believe me.

"Yes," I replied and nodded. "Please help me defeat that monster, the jerk."

The five female knights moved their heads to look at each other before finally, looked back at me.

"We wanted to help you but we weren't strong enough," Rose began. "Our only hope of killing that monster is to rely on the strength of Sir Folcion and the adventurers under his orders."

"Is that the only way?"

"Eee... We can kill that monster faster if reinforcements from the White Tower come. But unfortunately, we couldn't call for help since the Teleportation Crystal was taken over by a few evil adventurer's groups." 

"Can't you guys do something to those adventurers?"

"To be honest, some of us are trying to defeat those damned adventurers," Clematis said angrily. "We're stuck in a bad situation. We don't know if Master Folcion can defeat the monster when he's being cornered now."

"Is the situation truly that bad?"

"Yes."

So it means we have to defeat the evil adventurers to call for reinforcement. But, how do we defeat them?

"We need help as quickly as possible. So it's a good idea if we help our friends to seize the Teleportation Crystal," the golden-haired Cat-kin knight told Rose. From her tone, I learned she was trying to persuade the red-haired woman. "You know it, Rose. We can give up the task of hunting down the monsters to another group."

Rose sighed. "You know it can't be done because the other group is weaker than us. The monsters that keep coming are too much for their capabilities."

"They just need to hinder those monsters. The citizens and low-ranking adventurers had already evacuated. They don't-'

"Captain Rose, the attack is coming!"

The green-haired girl interrupted Cat-kin's speech. And true as she said, dozens of monsters approached us with killing intent.

We drew each of our weapons. And not long after that, the fight began.

I'm amazed.

That sentence came when I saw how the five female knights were fighting. 

They're strong!

The ability they showed made me ask about the meaning of my strength.

I'm sure I'm getting stronger.

I'm sure I'm strong.

However, the fight against the jerk and the strength shown by these knights stated otherwise.

I'm weak.

"Damn it!" I yelled as I cut off the Leaf Hound's back. 

That monster tried to bite my leg but it never succeeded.

I got a hard time defeating this monster while Rose and the others were able to kill three or more monsters like this in a single strike!

I'm weak! And inevitably, I have to accept it.

"[Power Slash]"

I managed to cut the Leaf Hound's throat, I managed to kill it. I turned around and was ready to face the arriving Leaf Bear.

Once again, I had a hard time killing a monster.

"[Cross Slash]"

I cut off the monster's leg.

"Rawr!"

The monster was irritated, it swung its arm to tear my body apart. Unfortunately, the monster couldn't hurt me.

I'm fast.

"Hyaa!"

I approached the monster to then rip off its stomach.

"Rawr!"

The monster launch counterattacks. But I countered using spells.

"[Wind Cutter]"

"RAWR!" The monster roared after its right arm was severely injured. 

Leaf Bear's defense was wide open and I took advantage of it.

"[Heavy Cut]"

I managed to cut the monster's neck.

< Sword Mastery level up! 1 to 2 >

A pleasant surprise greeted me after a tough fight.

On the other hand, Rose killed two Leaf Bears with two of her Great Sword swings.

Two swings!

How could she do that?

And not only Rose, but the other female knights' fighting abilities also made me jealous. 

The blue-haired knight, Clematis, used two types of Ice Spells to freeze and kill seven monsters in the blink of an eye.

Like an Assassin, the green-haired young knight disappeared and appeared in the blink of an eye to cut the monsters' throats or attack their vital points.

The monsters couldn't break through the defense of the Cat-kin knight. Not only she was the expert in using the Giant Shield, but the golden-haired woman was also gifted in using her hammer. That weapon repeatedly smashed the heads of the monsters.

As for the last knight, the pink-haired girl, she used her Spells to bind and absorb the lives of the enemies. At the same time, she helped us by using Healing Spells.

In a matter of a dozen minutes, those knights killed dozens of monsters while I could only kill four monsters!

< Level up! 18 to 19 >

Although I'm getting stronger, somehow, I feel so weak right now. But, on the bright side, I have an idea about how to deal with the evil adventurers. 

"Follow us," commanded Rose, who then walked westward.

"No," I replied.

The words I said made Rose stop. She turned to look at me and said, "No?" With a tone showing a wave of minor anger.

The fur of my fox tail stood up and hurriedly, I uttered an explanation. "I mean, not before I ask questions first."

"Ask? What kind of questions do you want to say?"

"Are any of you able to use Disspell, have Dark Magic Resistance equipment, or Debuff Removal Potion?"

"We don't have it," Rose replied and shook her head. "Walk girl."

I walked, following the five female knights.

"Sakura has a Light Aura. Can this Spell help you?" asked the pink-haired girl who approached me.

"Your Light Magic, what level is it?"

"Five."

"Five! That's perfect! This plan might work!"

"Plan?" Rose who was walking in the front line glanced at me. "Care to tell us your plan?"

I nodded. "My plan is to take over the Teleportation Crystal using the Skills I have. I will create a mist that can give an illusion to anyone who inhales it. I don't know how powerful the adventurers in the Teleportation Crystal are. Therefore, I needed bodyguards to protect me when I approached them. And Light Aura will protect my bodyguards from the influence of my mist."

"Do you believe your plan will work?" Clematis asked. The tone she made showed doubts about my plan.

"If they don't have Dark Magic Resistance and Magic Tools that able to deter status effect debuff, I'm sure my mist will swallow them into illusions."

...

For some time after I finished speaking, those five female knights fell silent. The situation around us became increasingly awkward and I began to feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Clematis said something before this situation became even worse.

"What are we going to do, Captain Rose?"

Getting a question, Rose stopped. She turned to look me in the eye directly.

"Are you sure your plan will work?"

"I'm sure I can pull some adventurers into the illusion," I replied without hesitation.

Rose kept looking at me for some time before finally nodding her head. "We will attack the adventurers who secured the Teleportation Crystal. Elroe and his squad can take over our duties. Bouquet Squad, move."

"Yes ma'am!"

After the four knights gave a reply, we ran towards the north as quickly as possible.

Our mission is to defeat the evil Adventurers.
