"Grey Dew, huh?"

After carrying my bag through the jungle where death was pervading, at the agreed place, I saw the human man with most of his body under his cloak.

When he saw me appear, he lifted his hood and showed a "smile" that didn't smile.

"Yes, Gott...... Mr. ”

I'm not used to attaching honorifics to human names, but my father told me again and again, and I haven't forgotten it.

In my subconscious, I had already decided that this was a strange person——— after all, it was not the ordinary businessman to travel thousands of miles to the mountains, risking all kinds of dangers to trade with orcs with few special products.

"You're two minutes behind schedule. ”

Patting off the remaining ash on my left paw, I shrugged, "I met a few ghosts on the way, and I delayed. ”

Although I have explained, I have not apologized in the slightest. Affected by the curse of the Abyss Lord Elixian, most of the death of the cloud-filled mountains has become an uncontrollable fear.

If the dead creatures are not burned to ashes before the first sunset the next day, they will be "resurrected" again after sunset, as wandering ghosts in the jungle.

Last night, I smashed at least ten of these dead heads. There are birds and beasts, and there are subhumans and orcs.

"Is that so? That's force majeure. Well, let's get in the car first, we're going to get to Dre City before sunset. ”

"I don't have to ride in an ox cart, I can run faster than it on one leg. ”

I shook my head at Gott, who had moved half of the seat for me——— suddenly about to embark on an unknown journey with a human man I had just met, and the restlessness of the beast spirit made me instinctively want to stay away from him.

If it were that wolf, I probably wouldn't have left in such a mood.

"Well, then you can follow me on foot. ”

After grabbing the reins, Goult gently patted the ox on the back with a wooden stick, and the ox cart began to move slowly. Seeing this, I also took a step and followed.

There used to be no roads in the woodlands of the cloudy mountains, but since this man named Gort, and a few traveling merchants like him, visited orc and subhuman settlements like ours for the first time, the roads have been built by the various races that might have clashed in the first place.

Well, on the road from Mt. Izumo to Rengkei, I was also involved in the work of tamping the roadbed.

"Gray Dew, aren't you cold when you wear so little?"

Although according to the continental calendar, it is already the first April day of summer, but under the ancient trees tens of meters high in the clouds, there is still a cold fog.

A strong mountain wind blew, and the gray-white hair that I had scattered behind me was blown and fluttered, and the skirt sewn from deerskin was also swung to the side. But I didn't feel a chill.

"It's not cold. ”

Although we share the same ancestors as the toothed wolf, we, who have been blessed by the beast spirit god, the human wolf, have gained the right to stand.

The liberated front paws allow us to climb over dangerous peaks and dense forests that the toothed wolf can't climb, and although the hair is no longer so vigorous and the resistance to the cold winter has decreased a lot, at least, it is not something that this kind of mountain wind can erode it.

I picked a wildflower from a bush by the side of the road and put it to my nose to sniff it, and I quickened my pace and walked to the front of the ox cart.

I don't feel ashamed to be like humans who don't cover their bodies with clothes, but I still feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by strange males all the time.

The look of "interest" in the eyes of this human named Goult is really ......

"Grey Dew, Your Ears and Tail ......"

Gott's calm voice came from behind me, and I finally couldn't contain my anger, and I stopped and turned to glare at him.

"What's wrong with my ears and tail?"

"In our human cities, it will be very conspicuous. ”

In the subtle silence, the ox cart stopped.

Under my watchful eye, Gott got up and stepped into the low-stilted crate behind him, opened a box, and began to rummage through something.

"Hmm...... There is no women's model, so you can only get under it. ”

As I watched, Gaud picked up a folded brown robe and jumped out of the car——— his robe was lifted in mid-air by the currents, allowing me to see the darkened metal shins.

A strong warrior? The Tooth Wolf Clan reveres the strong, and it's no wonder that my father was so active in letting me travel with him.

"Can't you wear it?"

"No...... It's just, it's a disguise in the city?"

Looking at the robe he handed me in my hand, I remembered the time when I was covered in mud and lurked with my mother by the lake to ambush a herd of buffalo.

Come to think of it, it is definitely not possible to use that kind of disguise in the human world.

"It can be understood this way. Oh, maybe you'll need a pair of boots. ”

Looking at my fluffy paws on the ground, Gott's face showed a playful smile——— this smile looked harmless to humans and animals, but some of my hair couldn't help but stand upside down.

Does this guy have any other weird fetishes?!

"Hey, do you want to put it on now?"

Gott climbed back into the car on his own, and I stood beside the car with my cloak-like robe, a little hesitant. The tattered robe smelled of a human ——— a dead man.

"You won't wear it. ”

"It's not that it won't ......"

Gott jumped out of the cart again with a pair of large men's boots about knee-high, put them on the pedals of the bullock cart, and walked in front of me.

In the morning fog of the woodland, my intuition could not detect his presence at hand.

"Here, I'll help you get dressed. ”

"Eh, wait—"

The moment his hand pressed on my shoulder, I suddenly realized that this human being's strength was even greater than that of a lion man. And beyond that, there's something else I can't put into words.

I didn't try to struggle, after all, my father repeatedly told me not to get into conflict with him.

Pressed by his shoulder, I reluctantly turned around, turning my back at an unfamiliar male——— muscles all tensed, closing my eyes, and the beast's seventh sense told me that he was raising his other hand.

The idea of disengagement began to grow, but the frenulum of my bag was suddenly untied, leaving me stunned.

[He didn't use his hands]

"Here, raise your left hand. ”

While catching it with my right paw before my bag fell to the ground, I realized why this human dared to go out of the clouds and mountains alone, and I did so.

The brown robe covered my left arm, and as expected, it felt ordinary to the touch and tasted terrible. Without waiting for Gott to speak, I consciously shifted my bag to my left paw and raised my right arm.

When the placket was on my chest, I looked at the round things and froze for a moment. But Gott didn't give me time to froze as the power came from my shoulder, and I was pulled back to face him

"I'll help you get the package, and you button it yourself. ”

"Hmm...... Buttons? That's ...... The clothes of your human beings...... Isn't it just a cover?"

The deerskin clothes that cover my chest, abdomen, and crotch are like hoops, and they only need to be put on from the bottom up, and this is really the first time I have worn a troublesome garment like a human with a so-called "button".

"Then you may need to get used to it. ”

Gott glanced at my sharp claws, and with a look of helplessness, he reached out and buttoned the robe from the bottom to the top to my waist.

"It's not hard, but your claws can easily crush the clasp, so ......"

When the movement approached the untouchable part of human cognition, he did not move again, but the button on the chest of the robe floated in the air and buckled.

That's right, not only is he powerful, he's also a mage——— my father's decision to let me follow him now seems to be the right one.

Sidney———

"Hey, Gott, I have to say, this little wolf girl is in such a good shape. If you can, can you let her accompany me to the pig fat tavern at night? He actually used cat ears to show me the day before yesterday, and I must come back. ”

Just as I was distressed by the discomfort of the man's clothes pressing on my chest, the voice of a strange human came from above, accompanied by a large number of falling leaves.

Subconsciously, I popped out my paws.

"Riovat, you shouldn't have entered the Cloudsy Mountains. ”

"Oh, man, don't be so strict, it's already on the edge. ”

With the rustle of leaves, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the other side of the ox cart. I could already see him in his whereabouts——— he was a mercenary with a spear, and the scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his upper lip was easy to remember.

I kept an eye on the spear mercenary named Rioat, but Gott didn't look at him at all, but instead reached out and tied my belt, "It may be a little uncomfortable, but please tie your belt and put on your boots." ”

As he spoke, Gott turned sideways and took the big boot and shoved it into my paws.

"Oh, Gott, you're too strong."

"Spearman, let's go to the front and talk. ”

"Alright, well, you have the final say. ”

Under Gott's flat tone, what is hidden is the unquestionable command of the general.

In my confusion, the red-haired young human turned over and sat in the back of the cart, while the gray-haired Gott returned to his saddle and picked up the reins again.

"Grey Dew, we'll be waiting for you at the edge of the jungle. ”

"I see. ”

"Hey, little wolf sister, if you don't like this dress, when you get to Dre City, I can take you to change into a new one, make sure you are comfortable and look good!"

In the unruly and wild shouts of the spearmen, the ox cart, which seemed to be unable to move forward at breakneck speed, disappeared on the other side of the road in the blink of an eye.

On the side of the road, which was full of fallen leaves, I was the only one standing with a puzzled face.........

Fifteen minutes later———

"It's strange that humans would wear something that restricts their mobility. ”

When I put the boots on, which were obviously men's as well, my paws didn't punctuate them, but it was uncomfortable to be restrained while walking.

Well, and the belt, which was not too wide in the first place, was pulled by it, and the pressure on the chest was even greater.

"Hey, Gott, little wolf sister is following. ”

As I walked briskly along the gentle slope that stretched upwards for hundreds of meters, leaving the misty forest behind, I squinted my eyes slightly, looked at the ox cart in the dazzling sunlight not far away, and shook my ears.

The endless green wilderness outside the mountains is also beautiful.

"Gray Dew, put this on. ”

As soon as his eyes adjusted to the light, a dark shadow flew in front of him at great speed. Before I could react, the claws had subconsciously resisted in front of me and caught it steadily.

It's a hat.

Sure enough, the ears of our human wolves will still cause trouble in the human world......

I reluctantly put it on my head after catching the cotton fabric that Gott had thrown over, ——— it must be hot by noon this season.

"Get in the car, we still have a long way to go. ”

This time, I have no objection.
