Chapter 11

"Sorry, I don't understand either."

Natsuna Natsume turned around and gave an embarrassed smile, she said that she knew a few foreign languages, but I supposed it would be weirder if she could understand their language.

After all, right now we were standing in the middle of the orc corpses, surrounded by a white bunny eared beastmen with shortcut white hair and red eyes, kinda looked like an old man in his fifty wearing a bunny costume.

Then a muscular archer with a more animalistic feline-ish feature on his face, a brown long mane and the same coloured long brown hair. It didn't take long for me to realize he was a lion, but unlike the bunny man, the lion man had some dim golden fur wrapped on his body, while some looked like a normal human skin.

And the last, the short one was dropping his/her hood down and his/her had a frog... no he/she was basically a big frog, standing straight with two legs, two arms, and a torso. Huh, I wondered what made each one of them had different look or maybe they were a different species?

Anyway, the froggy was beckoning his/her right hand in a slow movement, seemed like he/she wanted me to come over to him/her?

Urgh... I would just assume the froggy was a male, considering the other two was a male.

I walked toward him and he still beckoning his big three fingers hand. I presumed he wanted me to bent my head down? Anyway, he didn't seem hostile, so why not?

I bent my head and he started speaking, still in an abstract language.

Soon enough, his hand had a golden glow. My right eye that was having a trouble to see the surrounding due to the big swollen bruise, was wrapped in the same light, actually, my whole face was wrapped in the golden light.

As he continued to speak, the pain gradually disappeared, and a few seconds later, I could open my right eye. The bruise was gone, even I could breathe normally. Only a red trace was seen at my nose, like a proof that it was injured before.

"Sromdk." The froggy said something that I would assume as a word of gratitude and gave me a smile before he went to his friends and started walking to the corpses.

They began to scavenge the corpse on their friend, I could see from the distance the bunny ear man was chopping their hair, ear, tooth, or anything that still could be taken; they took it and put it into a leather pouch.

But watching the corpses somehow made me shivered.

Just what kind of destructive power the orc had? and how did I still alive? Maybe because the one that hit me was a ranged fighter so it didn't have too much power?

With a gasp, I suddenly remembered about something and opened my status screen to check my health. Damn... It was already full, even though this was a good opportunity to check the orc's brute strength and their damage.

Anyway, the orc (spear) didn't manage to pierce my selective fortification and could one shot Iddy, so I guessed it was somewhere between 8-14.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

And just as I stared at my screen, I reckoned the three beastmen were staring at me. Just as I replied their gaze, the bunny man raised his hand before he and the other two continued to scavenge their comrade's body parts and moved to the orc.

" Does something happen?" Natsuna's voice came from behind.

I turned around, walked to her and telling her what happened. Describing their appearances, what they did right now, and the froggy could use magic.

"Hm.." Natsuna muttered. Then her hand was floating around; trying to search for something. Her hand stopped as she touched my right shoulder, stroking around before she moved her hand at my neck and then my cheek.

"Hm~ it really is gone." She said. "But Tsukasa, you should've told me if you're having an injury."

"Should I? Well, considering I could've just healed it after my magic replenished, I don't think I need to do that." I said.

" Hm... I guess you're right. Magic is really convenient after all. "

Natsuna smiled no... she might be smiled but her eyes weren't smiling. Anyway, she used her other hand to touch my face and simply moving it around.

Getting stroked back and forth like this somehow made me felt I was being treated like a dog.

And before I was able to say anything, with a big smirk she widened her hands and made a clap to my cheeks.

Her slap didn't hurt, but still. "What the hell was that slap?!" I shouted with a confused feeling.

" Hm... I think I'm going to take a blessing magic on my next level. " She said as she slowly let her hands off from my cheeks.

Natsuna curled her lips up and she nodded several times with a warm smile.

"Hm~ Just checking if you're doing fine."

In the end, our objectives were meeting with someone from this world.

I sat down while I was watching them scavenging the orc's body part, pondering what I should do to communicate with them.

And while I was thinking this, my stomach was creating a loud rumble. Huh, right we were skipping our breakfast today.

"Do you want to eat something?" Natsuna asked as she slowly sat next to me.

The truth, I didn't think I could do any more hard activity, at least not without taking some rest.

 "Well, I do." I nodded to her. "Anyway, just let me rest for a few hours, I'll get a double portion on the afternoon."

"Hm~." She replied before she summoned Iddy out, right... I forgot she still had some magic left. "Iddy, go get something for us to eat." She said.

Right... I forgot she still had some Magic left. But it was really funny, to think just a few days ago we almost starved to death, and yet right now we sat down while Iddy was the one that did the job.

Speaking of which, the three beastmen were walking toward us.

The bunny man and his gang sat right in front of us, he cleared his throat and repeatedly pointed to him, the lion man and the frog. "Eku, Rein and Wakanga."

Was that their name? Anyway, I did the same thing and introduced both of ourselves.

...

And there was another long awkward silence, I guessed it might be hard to communicate with someone that didn't have the same language, huh.

"Hm..."

Natsuna's hand was moving across the ground and she silently ripped some grasses and showed it to them.

"Thar? Skoros roeg rusir i?" The bunny man tilted his head, curiously looking at her palm.

Though, I believed I kinda understood what she wanted to do.

I took one stone out from the leather satchel and this time the frog, Wakanga nodded his head with a wide smile. "Negwin."

After spending some time, Iddy walked back with a horn rabbit on his mouth.

"Chiva Hunes." Said Wakanga as he pointed his finger to the horn rabbit. "Jano." As he pointed toward Iddy.

And we spent the rest of our day learning some vocabulary of this world.
