The sound of sheep noises echoed from the hole as Sushila observed Ris from above, her disbelief growing at the unusual sight below.

The presence of a being that was half human and half animal was rare in these lands, and she had never heard any rumors of such a phenomenon before.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkX8i76A4Y
She was skeptical, unsure whether it was a human using transformation magic to cross-dress or simply a demon. Drawing closer for a better view, she accidentally made noise by knocking rocks into the hole, giving away where she was.

Ris glanced towards the rocks and spotted a figure charging towards him at full speed, wielding a sword. Reacting swiftly, he evaded the figure's attack by leaping back, feeling a strong gust of wind as the figure swung the sword.

He drew out his revolver, aimed at the womanly figure, and pressed the blue button with his thumb.

"Stay back; don't come any closer," he cautioned, holding his gun tightly at Sushila with confusion clouding his mind.

(A hybrid? But that can't be right; the data didn't mention anything about one of my kind being here. Darn it, just when I thought I could escape from that place, they were already here.) Ris realized that his escape might not be as easy as he had hoped.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm56C0N065V
Sushila was dumbfounded, as she didn't understand what the sheep man said. It wasn't speaking in either human or demon language; all it did was make sounds like a sheep.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdhrWwz5fF
"I don't know what you are, and I don't care. Your kind is not welcome here. This is a peaceful village, so please leave; this is your only warning."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsLA6Igmmt
Ris's confusion turned to fear as he was puzzled by the incomprehensible words pouring out of Sushila's mouth. "What language are you speaking in, hybrid?" he demanded, steadying his aim with his gun. "Are you associated with F.R.C. [Folk Research Centre]? Tell me now, or I will shoot!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFrkuXIrrA
Sushila dashed towards him like a speeding rocket, her feet pounding the ground with a thunderous boom, and the wind rushing past her like a whooshing tornado.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCInokZ2Yt
She swung her sword at him with the force of a lion's might, but he swiftly evaded the attack by leaping to the side, creating distance from Sushila.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcp98hIGFW
He fired at Sushila, but instead of bullets, a blue laser beam shot out. Sushila tilted her head to dodge the beam of light heading towards her face.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqliZCQYAu
She quickly ran towards him with blazing speed and grabbed onto him with incredible strength like a giant octopus wrapping its tentacles tightly around its prey.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBUx6ce0xu
With a quick and powerful move, Sushila body-slammed Ris onto the ground, causing a booming impact that shook the village. The force of her blow was so strong that he was knocked out cold, his body creating a deep crack in the ground beneath him.

Ris suddenly woke up in a daze, finding himself lying on a creaky bed in a rustic wooden house.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZejrVp3bj
The unfamiliar surroundings sent a shiver down his spine as he attempted to sit up, only to realize his hand was tightly bound to the bed frame with a makeshift rope woven from hay.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kdxXGxF7
He looked around to try to find something to escape with, but only saw his stuff on a wooden bedside table. "Computer?" Ris called out.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkei5WMWx
Computer said responded if she was annoyed, "Tsk... Yes?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qoo7W4F5E
"Thank great sheep you're responsive now. How long was I out?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyytfdqJpO
"......"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMpwGWzwfp
"Computer?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YEj42EBEP
"Computer, are you there? Please respond." asked Ris, a hint of worry creeping into his voice.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmeMSfbFMd
"....."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gQJVs83h
"Why are you not responding?" Ris sighed and began gnawing on the hay rope in an attempt to break free.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgrZ7Daf8O
As he chewed through the rope, he could feel it slowly starting to give way. After a few minutes of intense chewing, Ris finally broke free from his bonds and dashed to Computer, grabbing her. "I should have fixed you before I got here," he muttered regretfully.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtotvwM0YbY
"There is nothing wrong with me. I am perfectly fine," said Computer.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQtAP6KqXE
"I called out to you twice, but you didn't respond, disobeying me," Ris blurted out.
"I wasn't. I was simply checking how long you were unconscious since landing. It has been two days. Also, I have analyzed the species' language and adapted our communication to match theirs."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGhz5CZwxl
"Two days?!" Ris exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and disbelief. Grateful for Computer's assistance, he added, "Thank you, computer."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9W3Ux16e
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation and the unknown species he had encountered, Ris reached for his revolver. Clicking the white button, he aimed it at his head and pulled the trigger. A beam of white light shot out, connecting with his head and sending a rush of information flooding into his brain.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AxWcWGZt8
"Did it work?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCjTDas1lb
"Yes, now leave me alone."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUIm07xzV
"No, you must help me escape and get far away from here."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjj9Eux8aZ
"Why do I have to deal with this? I didn't cause this mess."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYneThefFJw
"Please help. We have nowhere else to go."
