The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 193
“Uu~, wafionn, gua!!” (Uugh~, what the heck!?)
“Wauuh, gaufa~♪” (Ax, you’re so slow~♪)
I moved a little far away as I heard my sister mercilessly tease the gluttonous kobold who rubbed his forehead as he groaned while tears fell from his eyes.
I took off my leather armor and kept my trousers on while being mindful of the position of the tail slot, and transformed from my human form back to my wolf-mixed kobold form.
(Guh, uh, just like usual, it feels like my body is still transforming…)
To be honest, the process feels uncomfortable, but if I didn’t go through with it, then I wouldn’t be able to change back to my original form. I don’t think there are many instances that I would need to do humanization, but will I ever get used to this sensation?
“Kuou voruoo.” (I guess I’ll have to practice every day.)
When I changed back, my vocal cords switched back to a kobold’s, and speaking in the continental language became impossible for me. My fur grew back and my fangs and claws grew longer, and my tail also grew back and filled the tail hole at the back of my pants.
The tail hole, huh… The clothes that could be bought in Lucua village comes with a tail hole and is just right for cat people and kobolds, but it becomes completely useless once I turn human.
(Well, if I just put on a coat or a cloak to cover it, it’ll be fine. Besides, it’s not uncomfortable to wear either.)
The fabric used for the clothes was linen that was weaved by the cat women during the winter using a machine called a waist loom. We were also able to purchase such a machine to create cloth for our loincloths. And thanks to this, my pack will now be in the process of transitioning into wearing loincloths instead of grass skirts which were often prickly and uncomfortable.
Smith, the small, floppy-eared kobold who was interested in learning to weave linen, wanted a waist loom, so I had to buy one along with a flat chisel for stone processing.
(The waist loom could be found at Grimer’s workshop since it’s made of wood, while the iron tools could be found at Barrack’s… I should also ask Joseph to sell me some chickens if possible.)
I put my hand on the leather pouch on my waist and confirmed how many gold and silver coins I still had.
Since Lucua village was included in the economic zone of the Ferias territory through the neighboring town of Wyald which had a population of approximately 2,000, we didn’t encounter any problems using the Diore currency there.
But since the village was quite self-sufficient due to the nature of the cat people living in the forest, it is important to note that the amount of currency in circulation is small and the places where you can use it are limited…
And so, after we more or less completed the list of items we were asked to buy, I approached Ax who was still being healed by the World Tree Priestess of the Ancient forest who was accompanying us and apologized.
“Guruvaau…waruaou.” (It was out of my control… I’m so sorry about earlier.)
“Waon, woruu guua vaagauoon.” (Don’t worry about it. Next time, I’ll just hide away and eat honey.)
As he said this, Ax sat on the ground and tapped the ground with his tail in an unhappy manner… Our emotions tend to show in our ears and tails, so I understood right away. As I thought of a way to cheer him up later, someone lightly tugged on the fur in my arm.
“Kuon, kuruau gauruan♪ Wafiguaan?” (Big brother, it’s almost lunchtime♪ Shouldn’t you be setting out to hunt?)
“Waoan.” (Yeah, I should get going.)
“Uworu, guruuuoou…” (Then I’ll come with you…)
The petite Obsidian Elf who had been sitting on a tree branch watching the mock battle earlier jumped down with a loud thud and held up the large elven bow she had been carrying around.
The elf, whose silver hair hung on her shoulder in a braid and whose healthy wheat-colored skin was exposed between her thick shorts and thigh-high boots was Selica, a hunter who was working as the Priestess’ bodyguard.
