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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK4GQDgYvB
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6GBe5jwLw
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcNl9vny4j
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrh3S0pLyy
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!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz8qEINnEc
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJeXvSkZtl
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjthXxTByFj
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.

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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78SXYJJRdP
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUN8IilnQq
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl63l2zOk9
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSdG0kmrqA
Computer said responded if she was annoyed, "Tsk... Yes?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0L7sJIgjr
"Thank great sheep you're responsive now. How long was I out?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAySh8Sm9J4
"......"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbwluDKhls
"Computer?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJte3ZmrvK
"Computer, are you there? Please respond." asked Ris, a hint of worry creeping into his voice.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJWxwJLZE
"....."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fXorKNSTC
"Why are you not responding?" Ris sighed and began gnawing on the hay rope in an attempt to break free.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGfA4iQgr5
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipXz3XPlI4
"There is nothing wrong with me. I am perfectly fine," said Computer.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMFoqbLnNF
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHPruFwpOd
"Two days?!" Ris exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and disbelief. Grateful for Computer's assistance, he added, "Thank you, computer."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHFtd21126
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvQvk0ay4
"Did it work?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaJxAYH2wF
"Yes, now leave me alone."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMRmNI7cJa
"No, you must help me escape and get far away from here."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckuVhTgI5m
"Why do I have to deal with this? I didn't cause this mess."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVlquI2XU1
"Please help. We have nowhere else to go."
