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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc3oS0Stb9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgnbCHXIy
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83GWzjqzMm
"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."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx56vNYCnaH
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!"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIHSVymf6
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFbiyjUAnH
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Kr0qLOVZ
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2is70ZriKR
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPm8ceYc1j
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50mAdv1KSL
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofU1rz1uWh
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhg0hCPoWH
Computer said responded if she was annoyed, "Tsk... Yes?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzyp1d5hN
"Thank great sheep you're responsive now. How long was I out?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CkXMlNJgC
"......"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sLsOF4IBk
"Computer?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb4okp8VFf
"Computer, are you there? Please respond." asked Ris, a hint of worry creeping into his voice.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCyNM1sJ9k
"....."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyiYQ8xLL8
"Why are you not responding?" Ris sighed and began gnawing on the hay rope in an attempt to break free.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtGSnpwijb
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5BSj2mDM
"There is nothing wrong with me. I am perfectly fine," said Computer.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo8NveodnM
"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."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GTA4n7Ce
"Two days?!" Ris exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and disbelief. Grateful for Computer's assistance, he added, "Thank you, computer."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ajQw4Hkxi
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KXbOjt3tP
"Did it work?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UqhNA1IFr
"Yes, now leave me alone."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaai7702lb
"No, you must help me escape and get far away from here."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLPPoUbdN
"Why do I have to deal with this? I didn't cause this mess."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXj8WNoUs
"Please help. We have nowhere else to go."
