9:20 PM

No man's land

Beastkin refugee camp.

The refugee gathers around to see the newcomer, but the first they see the high tech silver armour with a Warhammer and behind you cart of food are following you without any puller. Some of the beastkin soldiers saw you and remember the crimson armour, the single being who slaughter the horde of shadow spawn without moving. Now that they look carefully they notice your armour suit look quite similar to the one who saves them.

And then behind the food cart, there was a new group of beastkin, some of the old refugees was shocked to see them and quickly run toward them with tears. Seeing the happy reunion, you guess that these are the lucky beastkin that reunites with there love ones. At the same time, some quickly rush toward the new group to see if they were lucky to find the person they are looking for. You even see some of the beastkin cries of sadness when they thoroughly search the new group, the unlucky ones.

"Quickly help out the newcomers!!" (Kaguya) she is talking a group soldier who is now running toward the new group old beastkin, the injure and the hungry with the supply.

You stop and look around and see that the supply you gave them really help immensely. "Miss Fox, I'll leave these carts to you."

"Yes, thank you so much again for your help." (Kaguya) she bows and the beastkin come and pull the carts away, then the fox madam when to talk with Karin and the others.

"Aisha, anything I should know?" you speak softly so no one can hear.

"The horde stops increasing after the Nuke strike." (Aisha)

"Mmmm, do they stop increasing after the nuke or before we all enter the gate?"

"Its seem they stop moving when everyone enters the portal." (Aisha)

"So they respond to any living being…..I have a theory, but I will need….to…test...." you have a feeling that someone is standing next to you even thou your radar say nothing at all. You assume that whoever standing next to is a master of stealth. You slowly turn your head toward the right, and you were stunned, because the one standing next to you is the centaur that came with Karin. You then wonder just how the hell you didn't notice her.

She is a 2meter centaur with dark red hair. Her human top is sexy feminine with a beautiful D cup breast, and her horse body is full cover in skirt and leather armour. You can't really tell what her face looks like since she covers her eyes with a bandage, but you know that this centaur is a male, because she wore the full skirt, while the female only wears the back skirt and leave the front legs uncover.

("How did she get next to me without any sound or movement detection?") you can accept that if someone light and small sneak up on you. But you never a centaur with large frame body would sneak up on you.

GROWLING** you a loud stomach growling from the centaur. You chuckle and smile seeing honest centaur's stomach growling, but then you wonder, which stomach?

"You're hungry?" the centaur nod.

"Why don't you go to your master? I'm sure she wouldn't let you starve." The centaur gently shakes her head.

"Karin is not Ren's master....Karin pays Ren food and Ren fight for food…..now Karin doesn't have food…..Ren doesn't work for Karin any more." (Ren)

"But you did try to save her before?" you remember that she shot with an arrow trying to protect Karin.

"Karin might not be Ren's boss anymore, but Ren like Karin." (Ren) then her stomach rumble again.

"I see...If I give you food would you work for me?" your words made her horse ears twitch. You then snap your fingers and carts full fruits and veggies appear in front of you and Ren. You read in the book and know that centaurs are mostly herbivores. Ren's nose twitches, and she slowly walks toward the cart while extent her hands to find the cart.

"Can Ren really have all this?" (Ren) her hand found the cart, and her other hand is going through the fruits and veggies.

"Yes, it is all your."

"Ok, Ren with work for Tony. Ren is good at fighting and shooting. Tony tell Ren where to go, Ren will go in exchange, Tony give Ren room to sleep and food." (Ren)

"Deal."

"Contract, done.....now, thank you for the meal!" (Ren) she grabs some food and stuff into her mouth. You smile at her because of the way she eats draw you in. You pick up an apple and slowly bring to her face. Ren's nose twitches, and turns toward you with her face coming closer, then she opens her mouth, bites the apple from your hand.

"Is it good?" she nods and continue to eat the apple from your hand, which for some reason you feels like you're feeding a cute pet. Then you extend your other hand and gently pad her head which makes her ear twitching.

("God, she is so cute!!") you continue stroking her head while watching her adorable way of her enjoying the meal.

"I see that you have taken Ren." (Karin) she walks toward you with her two retainers.

"Oh, Mmmmm….sorry, I should talk to you about Ren first."

"No need, I dissolved the contract between Ren and me after we flee to my castle, but she insists on staying with me until we are out of danger." (Karin) she picks up a carrot and Ren chop it with her mouth. "She is one of the most skilled warriors I have met…well for her size. when I met her, she was loose cannon raiding my supply caravan, not until I offer a job which is quite a headache I got from her since she a glutton." (Karin) she looks and Ren who is happily eating without a care in the world. "Although I recruited her for a few months, she been extremely helpful to me in lots of ways, so please treat her well." (Karin) she smiles at you while holding the carrot eaten by Ren.

"You have my word." you nod. Then you see that the group of beastkin that you are adjusting to the camp nicely, you see children playing around. One of the newcomers is sipping a soup; she gulps down, and then she made expression telling that she is delighted to be alive. And you other happy chatting with each other, the look on there was full of hope which made you glad that you save them.

"Mister Tony, thank you again for your generosity, you're genuinely are the savour of the beastkin!" (Kaguya) she walks toward you with two beastkin followings; one was the bear with a samurai armour which you already saw at the valley entrance and next to be a small cat girl in a female ninja outfit.

"I'm glad I could help since we both have the enemy after all."

"I see...dose her majesty the queen send you to save us?" (Kaguya) she is very polite toward you.

"Actually..... the Queen, still holding grudges against your people. Ever since your king declares, turn all the royal family his personal slave, until your king apologizes, she will not forgive and help your people." Everyone but Ren was shocked when you reveal that Saria was not happy with the beastkin.

"But then..." (Kaguya) she looks at you with worry expression.

"I wholeheartedly came to save you and your people with my own will, and I'll do everything in my power to save your people, and I'll try to convince her to let the beastkin take refuge in our kingdom." everyone sigh in relief hearing your words. They thought they would be abandon by the elves and face the shadow spawn on their own.

"Tony-dono, the one that proclaims himself to be the king of the Beast kingdom is nothing but a power-hungry coward. He treats his people like a toy and enjoys watching his people suffer, which is the reason why our domain is always at war with each other. And now I'm pretty sure he is dead." (Karin) everyone nods in agreement. Then the ninja cat beastkin raises her hand.

"Question. Why are you so confident that you can convince your Elf Queen?" (Ku)

"Mmmm, ok, let me myself again." The front of your suit open up, and you exit the armour. When they saw your human form, they were shocked as if they see a ghost. You look at everyone in front of you, and you notice that they were giving a strange expression. "What's wrong?" when you speak, they slowly react back to normal.

"Sorry, Tony-dono, but your physical appearance looks like that tyrant king." (Kaguya)

"???? ….Ohhhhhh, I get it. Ah, don't worry about it." the tyrant king is a beastkin, and it seems he rare human male appearance, which why they were shocked a minute ago. "Then, let me introduce myself again. My name is Tony Stank; I'm a human from another world, my profession is High Tech science engineering and a current engage to the eldest daughter of the Eilven Royal family." You slight bow. Everyone was surprised again. They thought you were an elf but turns out you're not.

"Human as in the Human race that extinct 10,000 years ago?" (Kaguya) she looks at you with curious eyes.

"Mmm, I read the ancient text saying that the human constantly fights among themselves to extinction" (Run) she looks at her sister and her sister nod back in agreement.

"Hahaha, And I guess we about to follow the path of those humans had taken." (Karin) she bitterly laughs, because one of the reasons she fights against her own kind is to be the ruler of the whole continent.

"Yes I'm indeed a human, but I'm not human from this world, but other world and I just arrived here a week ago."

"Another world?" (Ku) she looks at you confusingly.

"A world where only human exist in, and it is really boring, so don't expect much from it."

"Mmmm, but still it doesn't explain who you Friends convince the Elf Queen who is still mad at our fallen nation." (Ku)

"I can answer that question for you." (????) your face turns pale, and your body froze solid when you heard a familiar voice. Then a two-figure walking out of the shadow which shocks the beastkin again.

"T-o-n-y-s-a-n \u003c3" (Saria) she stands behind you and put her face next to yours. "What part of obeying me don't you understand?" (Saria) her word softly lands your ear, and her breath felt cold.

"Hahaha….Saria-san, how do you where I was?" you laugh nervously. She then you around toward her and pinch your cheeks and pull them apart. "Ouuuuu ouuuuuuu It hourt!!! Ploseeee stahhhhhhhh!!!"

"Naughty boy needs to be punished." (Saria) she keeps pulling cheeks. "Sigh...…now then…." she let both of your cheeks and walk toward the beastkin who still in froze state.

"Greeting... I'm Saria Alavara Lymseia Eilven the rule of the Eilven kingdom! But today I came here just an ordinary friendly elf." (Saria) she smiles brightly at them.
