Chapter 3 (part 2):Heavy Rain

But when I’m able to see my enemy it seems it’s just the same wolf as before, maybe he’s trying to gain time for his companions to come.

This time I won’t miss and I will kill that wolf!

The wolf is menacingly circling around me, I stretch my arm and point my palm to the wolf.

My palm keeps following the wolf circling around me, my arm is trembling, and the wolf decides to attack me.

The wolf was faster than me and jumped at my front and by reaction and fear I shot a fireball to the wolf’s face.

The wolf was killed on the spot, at least it didn’t suffer that much…

I hear a third howling, I walk steadily towards the origin of the sound. I think I gained confidence thanks to the fact that I can really protect myself.

At this rate I may rescue Shiina without any wolf around her.

I said that but as I kept walking I heard rustles again.

A wolf again? If I do the same strategy I will be fine, I think…

Finally when I could see my enemy, I realized that they were two wolves instead of one, I’m in trouble now.

I aimed my palm at the closer wolf and casted a fireball,but surprisingly the wolf evaded my attack and jumped to bite me.

Thanks to my fox senses I reacted in time and aimed a fireball at the wolf, for some reason my own fire didn't burn me…

Now with other issues, there’s still another wolf left to deal with

I aimed my palm at the other wolf but it doesn’t look like backing up, this wolf is too brave!!

But it doesn't matter how many times the wolf circles me it doesn’t seem like attacking, more like it’s expecting for me to lower my defense.

I shoot a bullet to provoke the wolf, but it doesn’t attack me, I should make a better strategy to take this wolf down…

I should think but I should not let my guard down, come on Yui, think think…

Wait...if I can cast fireballs through my right hand wouldn’t I be able to do it with my left hand?

I should try it, it will come a handful if I really can do it.

I raise my other palm a bit to the side of the wolf and shoot a fireball directly to the wolf with my right hand, as the wolf evades the first fireball I am able to shoot another fireball through my left hand and hit the wolf.

Then it’s really possible, that’s so cool!!

Though poor wolf...but they kidnapped Shiina and I can’t forgive them for that.

The wolf finally stops moving and the fire keeps consuming the wolf’s body.

I continue with the journey, and as I can hear some wolf noises, I peek over some bushes just to see some cubs around Shiina. I should intervene as fast as possible before something happens to her!

I jump off the bushes and stand up in front of the wolves straight and with confidence, the wolves back down a bit from the surprise but everyone puts an aggressive position and the cubs whine and walk towards the back of Shiina.

I give a step forward with both of my palms pointing at the both sides of the wolves.

They are a lot! I should just show confidence, get Shiina and run away.

A wolf steps forward but I cast a fireball in a warning and the wolf gets engulfed in fire.

Trying to intimidate me the wolves growl at me, but if anyone dares to step forward I will shoot.

The wolf I shot earlier stopped moving and the fire keeps consuming the wolf.

I give a firm step to me right and the wolves from that side back down in fear, so they really fear me!

I give another step forward and the wolves back down again, this is...super cool…

But I better finish off these wolves if we keep them alive they will pursue us, or better if just intimidate them, yeah that’s much better.

I shoot a fireball to a wolf and it spreads the fire to adjacent wolves killing 5 wolves

From my right side just 2 wolves are left and they fastly pass to my left side.

I now surround the wolves keeping my offensive posture and facing them until I reach Shiina.

I crouch so I can princess carry Shiina but a wolf tries to attack me, but he was too slow and died engulfed in my fires, this is actually pretty fun now.

As I finally have Shiina over my arms all the wolves rush to me in an attempt to take me down.

But I shot a fireball in the ground and a line of fire was made stopping the wolves from coming for a couple of seconds.

I prepared my palm to fire and shot a wolf in an attempt to keep scaring them out.

I keep facing the way from where the wolves were until they aren’t on my sight anymore.

I sigh in relief, finally we can head to the cave and the sun is barely setting, so we have enough time to walk the way to the cave but…

Where was the cave?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been walking all day long to find a town, but nothing, not even a single sound or trace that leads me to a path can be seen.

I haven’t seen many small animals near here meaning I’m near or there are predators near here and the last option would mean my end.

The sun is almost setting, if I don’t find anything I may be eaten by

predators from this area or the coldness.

And if there’s no light I can’t find tracks of anything, so I better hurry up.

As my motivation was rising by itself I encountered that one part of the soil was stepped by something...it seems like a wide line...oh isn’t that the shape of a wheel!?

I crouch to inspect the track of the wheel and I look it’s pretty wide, meaning the cargo was something heavy like livestock.

And the wheels mean their technology is enough to have watermills therefore plantations of flour and bread.

My deductive skills are pretty awesome sometimes.

But then if they have this type of technology it means they have roads as well, so it means it’s a trade route with another nation, but I doubt a trade route would have to pass through a forest and not directly a road…

So maybe this one is a cargo from town to town, meaning it’s not just some random small village but a part of a nation, a city.

With these deductions I know that there’s civilization, but they’re super delayed in technology compared to ours, so socially they will be delayed too…

But maybe their social development is different to the one in our past life and they aren’t any slaves or crusades...

I stand up from where I was and follow the trail, if I want more answers I need to go to this city and investigate.

The trails keep and keep continuing, where is the road going to appear?

But it didn’t look like it was gonna appear anytime soon, suddenly I sight the cart without people, and without horses, seems they left everything

But near the cart I saw several steps on the ground, they were from several sizes, but all of them were human feet.

Wait, human feet? then that means…

I mean it’s normal for the time where we’re but...it is the same as in our world’s slavery? With black people?

I should follow this trail and gather more information.

They shouldn’t be that far away if the trails I saw in the beginning were fresh.

As I passed some high bushes my eyes couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

I opened my eyes in amusement of what I had in front of my eyes.

A valley with a big town in the middle, surrounded by forest and with a big mountain at the back having its peak snowing.

There were big fields of wheat being cultivated around the town.

Also some houses like the ones you would see in the media, the ones made of stone with a european style.

And with a dirt road, women wearing raiments and men wearing their wool shirts with ties.

Some guards could be sighted over the hill and as history books showed they had full armor and a spear of what it looks like iron, from head to toes.

I couldn’t swallow what I was looking at the extravagance of the scenery, and just knowing I did it, it’s something unbelievable.

But that extravagance ends when my attention gets dragged to a small spot with several kids over the platform

Wait, aren’t those kids looking like Shiina and Yui!?

Then those foot tracks were really from slaves and from what I most feared.

Slavery towards beastfolk, if they get to see them I may be accused of something.

Or maybe they will try to sell them, or maybe something worse…

I shouldn’t think about that, I need to concentrate and get medicine, even if we’re in the medieval era we’re in a world with magic, so they may have medicine.

As I step back from the hill I realize I’m practically naked, how will I be able to enter naturally to the town?

Moreover, how will I ask for help if I don’t have anything with me?

A lot of problems arose at the climax of the moment, if I enter the city I will be mistaken as some homeless person and may get caught by the guards, and I don’t have an idea of what they could do to me…

I should think this straight, I just have one attempt, I need to be smart and astute.

I think hard about how to enter the city without, but the only way for me to get in is…

The only way to enter the city is by passing as a slave, but will disguise well without getting noticed, I mean I’m a human, not a beastfolk.

But it’s the only way in, if I don’t get in, Shiina will surely die.

If I want to get in there I should rush before the caravan I saw gets in the city.

I run downhills following the trail left off by the slaves.

It didn’t take me much until I sight the slaves, I hid behind some bushes to not get spotted by the slave dealers.

At the right moment I entered the lines of the slaves and hid between them to not drag much attention.

My height didn’t help me much, but it seemed the slave dealers didn't care much for who they had in their lines.

The city didn’t have walls, just a pair of guards patrolling the entrance. It seems this city was founded recently since the defenses are pretty low.

As I was entering the city one of the guards made eye contact with me, I hope I haven't been discovered.

I finally was able to enter the city, it looks like how anime portrays it, it’s amazing to see this, it's like traveling through time.

I shouldn’t get distracted, I need to focus and find a way to get out of the line without getting noticed.

Some alleys should work, so they can lose me in no time, though they may know this city much better than me.

After some minutes I see an alley to escape in, if I do it at perfect timing I won’t be noticed and my infiltration will be a success.

I get to the rightmost of the line of slaves.

I prepare myself to get out from the line and walk unnoticed in the alley

The alley is in front of me now, I take a big step and walk fastly through the alley before I get noticed.

Perfect, now that my infiltration is a success I just need to…

I turn to the right and see how a priest gets out of some bushes.

Maybe...it wasn’t that successful.

The priest freezes from his position and stares at me, is he gonna call the guards and kick me up?
