Just after the breakfast when we gathered our tools, I heard two voices asking a question that I really didn’t want to hear.

“Can we go with you?”-Girls asked.

“Absolutely not! It’s too dangerous!”-I tried to change their mind.

“What if while you are away they will come here?”-Titania reminded-“If there will be too many enemies I won’t be able protect her!”

“You might be right…”

“Wait!”-With those words Acino digged trough his back pack. After some time, he drew from his backpack a bunch of some small bottles, with some kind of mixture splashing inside.-“Here this is grenades with a strong sleeping gas. If anyone dares to bother you, just throw one under their feet ...Just don’t forget to close your nose.”-Acino reminded.

“Well, it's better than nothing. But bear in mind the fox, if something happens to us ...”-A menacing pause…And Titania continued.-“You will be responsible!”

On that note we parted. Girls wished us good luck in kidnaping Tamamo’s sister.

After reaching eastern gates we asked guards if the city was entered by some armed foxes, on which we received only a ‘Nope’.

After we were convinced that nothing was endangering girls, we went on the road across the field toward the woods.

After we reached the forest I asked Acino about a road that was ahead of us, on which he informed me that it would take us two days taking into account an overnight stay.

Staggering about twenty kilometers, we came to a small town. Next to which a small river run. Entering the city, we noticed that the city seemed quite neat, and clearly people here didn’t smell racist, for the people here were of all kinds and color.

After we found an inn, we headed right in. After we entered the inn we noticed that there were only a few people here, so we didn’t pay any attention to it and headed straight to the counter. There were standing a buff old man. After paying for two rooms we ordered each ordered some local ale, after both of us sat near the fire place.

“Listen, while we’re here I thought.”- Sipping from my pint I continued.-“Can we handle it? ”

“I don’t know, but we should at least try.”- impudently smirking, the fox continued.-“ Especially since we're both doing this for your collection.”

“Collection? Meaning?”-I asked, as I didn’t understand what he was talking.

“C’mon you can stop pretending. I know you well from the time on Earth. You always was dreaming about a harem, and now there is such a chance to show off! To drag Tamamo into the bed faster.”-Acino explained.

“Oh, so you were talking about that.”-I understood.

He knows you well.

Vice versa I know him well too.

You do?

Yeah I do. Why do you think that Acino doesn’t have a girlfriend with his personality?

Isn’t he shy?

He? Shy? Are you kidding me?! He’s a lone wolf most of the time. But there is also that….

What?

No I don’t have any rights to talk about that. It’s possible that you will know that sooner or later, so no questions.

Ok ok, if you won’t tell me I have no means to know.

“So? A toast for expansion of your harem?”-Rising his pint Acino asked.

“I won’t refuse to drink for that!”-Hitting his pint with mine, I said.

After finishing our ale we went to bed early, as tomorrow there will be a long road ahead of us.

Right! As we are on something like a field trip, I think it’s a good time to let you know about this world. If you thought that the information that author gave you all is final, then you are in for a big surprise! As he gave you less than 10% of information.

So this is the world of Wuldure, it is 3 times bigger than Earth and has 12 continents. First the continent on which I am now is called The continent of Corala then comes other continents Sarana, Feronus, Galiodu, Dadaeris, Georul, Sasana, Revorul, The flying continent Aerifoltur, Dark continent Sekorutius, Ancient continent Greisis and The forbidden living land Wulorius.

There are 11 godly beasts that are keeping balance of energies in this world. One for each continent except Wulorius, nobody knows exactly why it’s called a living land or why it’s forbidden continent as no one have stepped on it for millennia’s, it is also known that it is even more ancient then Greisis.

Now boil in your juices of curiosity as I am going to sleep!

#################################################################################

The morning greeted us with a fairly heavy rain, but the way it was necessary to continue on an urgent basis. That’s why Acino quickly run of somewhere, after five minutes he returned with two leather cloaks. I didn’t ask him where he got them. After we dressed and payed for our stay we set off.

Towards noon the weather recovered, and we left the cloaks on some the branches. At evening after we walked another 15 kilometers we finally exited the forest and in front of us was a wide grassy field, and in the distance were seen clans stone walls.

At that time of a day it was too dangerous to move as we could be seen on the field like on the palm of the hand. That’s why we waited till the night and seriously got ready.

After a little training in his magic Acino equipped a lot different things, from daggers to some kind of bombs.

“Are we ready?”

“Let’s go…”-Unenthusiastically Acino replied.

“That’s sounded like u aren’t having fun.”-I said with interest.

“It’s just I remembered how I was been chased here last time, I don’t want to run like that again.”

“Oh come-on don’t say that you are afraid?”

“Heck-no.”-He said-”It’s just I don’t want to be caught by them. Last time I was here I saw their dungeon and I really don’t want to be placed there.”

“Is it so fearsome to be there?”-With even more interest I asked.

“Well…Imagine your basement just with ten times more different torturing devices.”-Acino said while thinking.

“Hmm, I would like to see that.”-I said while thinking what kind of interesting things could be found there.

“Don’t even think about it! It’s the last place I would want to be!”- Felling into the small shivering, reported Acino recalling what he saw.

“Okay! I will look at it next time, after we will restore Tamamo’s honor.”

While chatting, we didn’t even notice that we already reached the walls. After we scouted some time we understood that there isn’t an easy way inside. The walls were at least 5 meters tall. and by the main entrance were standing armed six foxes. On the wall occasionally were soldiers patrolling. But there is a silver lining, main castle stood adjacent to the back wall, but on this side was only one balcony with a light inside.

At that time there was a patrol under the balcony, so we had to hide in the shadows. As soon they left we immediately began to look closely to the balcony. And to our surprise ,at that exact moment a fox entered the balcony, it was Tamamo’s sister. It’s good that Tamamo told how she looked, so as we don’t kidnap another fox.

After some time she left the balcony, and a few minutes later the light that was in her room was turned off. Again we hide ourselves from the guards that went near, and after they left we sat and begun to make our plan’s.

“So? What are we going to do?”-I asked.-“It won’t be easy to climb there.”

“Heh, I saw that coming.”-And again Acino rummaged in his backpack, after a few moments he took out a steel claws wit hooks.

“May I ask a question? What you didn’t bring along?”- I wondered.

“Knowing what’s in your inventory, I would be silent.”

“You’re right.”

Knowing that there are corpses in there, I too would keep silent.

Don’t call them corpses! They are materials only!

Right…

“Ok, I’m climbing before guards have returned.”

I nodded with a business-like manner, and gave him an ok sign, and he started to climb upwards. With a flexibility like some sort circus performer he climbed a few meters and stopped, after he was sure that nobody was near he climbed further. Having climbed onto the balcony, he began to carry out some kind manipulations with a lock, that was pretty long as guards passed under a balcony two times before he entered the room.

A few minutes later there was a high pitched cry and a sound of something breaking. On what guards immediately reacted. As if on cue throughout the clan an uproar was raised, the guard that were on the walls run somewhere down. I was thinking to run to Acino to help him, as I saw him in the balcony pulling some kind of a big bag. He then tied one end of the rope to the railing and the other dropped down, after he placed the bag on his shoulder and started to climb down. As he went down the wall in the room from which he fled a strong crashing sounded, and to the balcony some ruffled fox came out.

“There they are, all downstairs, don’t let them escape!”-The fox roared and disappeared somewhere in the castle.

“Oberon, quickly open your prison!”-Acino shouted in panic.

“Okay!”-Without even asking I opened it.

As soon I opened the interdimensional prison this psycho pushed the bag from the high of five meters.

“What if I couldn’t catch it!? Are you crazy!?”-I shouted at him.

Acino didn’t have time to tie a new rope so he could climb down as there were a sound of a plate boots getting closer.

“Jump!”-I Hastened.

“Shit!!!”-And he jumped.

That wasn’t a lucky jump. Acino landed on all fours, at the same time he hit his head and tore off part of the ear on a snag.

“What the hell!!! Why I am so unlucky?”- Trying to get to his feet Acino whined.

With a sharp jerk I raised him to his feet.

“Do not stop, run!”-Already in commanding tone I shouted at him.

We fled to the woods, breaking away from them for about a hundred meters we were able to discreetly hide under the protruding roots of a tree. After ten second a crowd of 40 foxes swept past us. We took refuge here till the morning as long as all cries subsided in the forest.

Coming out of the shelter, we headed towards our home as quickly as possible. We reached the city of Rya fairly quickly, as we came across a raccoon that was bringing in to the city of some minor building materials. After we paid for the ride and reached home we were warmly welcomed “well mostly I was warmly welcomed” by the girls. Acino muttering something dissatisfied under his ginger nose and went to his room to lick his wounds, and I was left to tell in all colors and details what happened with us on our small journey.
