“……?”
Midnight.
While the merchants were completely asleep, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and she straightened her back. She is Lill, a beautiful beast woman. However, her true identity is a Fenrir, a mythical monster. Even though she is in human form, she has excellent five senses, and if a suspicious person approaches, she will be the first to detect it.
However, neither her ears nor her nose could discern the true nature of the strange sensation. Only a mysterious sense of unease is ringing alarm bells for her. The two girls in the immediate vicinity, Fana and Anje, don’t seem to notice anything either. On the contrary, they had been sleeping quietly while sitting down.
And before she knew it, the figure of her Master had disappeared. She can smell his body odor, so he should be nearby, but…….
“……!”
A presence suddenly appeared.
Several of them appeared on top of the luggage they are protecting. The moon and stars were barely visible, but Lill, who had a keen eye for the night, could clearly see them.
They are human men.
They are holding a knife in their hands and cuts the ropes that bind the luggage one by one so that it does not fall out of the cart. On the other hand, they don’t seem to notice her yet.
“I won’t let you!”
“Eh!? Guaah-”
Leaping quickly, Lill kicked one of the men away.
“I-impossible…. We’ve been found out already!?”
“Hey, hurry up and take us back……!”
“I’m not going to let you go!”
Sensing the men’s intention to escape, Lill shouted. But the next moment, something unexpected befell her.
“Huh? ……My body.”
Suddenly, her body floated in the air. She’s not the only one. The men, and the luggage that had been pulled away from the cart, were soaring into the night sky all at once.
“W-what’s going on……?”
Just when she was shocked, she was suddenly exposed to a strong light making her involuntarily close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a room illuminated by bright lights.
“Here is….”
The group of men shouted seeing the confused Lill.
“She was somehow brought with us!? She’s probably one of those adventurers guarding the luggage. What are you going to do!?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a woman.”
“And if you look closely, she’s a fine looking one. She could be sold for a high price.”
Basking in the contemptuous gaze on her body, Lill snorts,
“To be honest, I don’t really understand the situation at first, but it seems like there are only weak people here.”
“Fuhahaha, it’s no use acting tough you know.”
“Hey, since it already came to this, why don’t we play a little bi- Gyaaaaah!?”
One of the men was blown away. Lill closed their distance in an instant and punched him away.
“Wha-!?”
“W-when did she move!?”
Apparently, they couldn’t see her movements at all. The men begin to panic at the sight of the beautiful beastman who seems to have teleported.
“This woman isn’t your average adventurer…… woo-!”
“What are we going to do!?”
“D-don’t worry. We have this one here in case something like this happens!”
At that moment, one of the men threw something at Lill. It’s a spherical object she had never seen before. Immediately afterwards, just when it seemed to burst, countless chains flew out. They moved on their own like tentacles and they quickly wrapped around Lill’s entire body.
“……W-what is this? It won’t tear….?”
She tried to tear it apart by force, but it wasn’t that easy.
“Hyahaha, that’s no use. It’s impossible to get out of it!”
“Kuu…… This thing……!”
Still, Lill didn’t give up and tries to destroy the chains with all her strength.
Creak, Creak, Creak, Creak!
“……H-hey, isn’t there a weird noise?”
“It won’t get broken right? T-this woman surprisingly has incredible strength!”
“……It should be fine.”
Creak, Creak, Creak, Creak!
“No, no matter how you look at it, it’s not okay you know!”
“We have no choice then! Get rid of her before it gets destroyed!”
“Hmm…… I’m almost out of it.”
Just when Lill began to think that she would have no choice but to return to her original form, one of the luggage began to move on its own. The next moment, the luggage pops open and a small shadow jumps out from inside.
“Ta~~~~da! Here comes a cute baby~~!”
