Chapter 25 – Beast Tribe’s Approach and Trade
Hotel.
In particular, black market hotels often double as casinos.
For that reason, the exterior of the hotel was full of golden splendor, symbolizing wealth and money.
Cynthia and the unidentified charmer passed all the people who came to enjoy the casino and headed upstairs to the hotel room.
As if she had reserved a room in advance, she pressed the elevator button to the top floor, the VIP room.
`Seduce a man like this for a one night stand? Or a human trafficking organization? If not… Illegal experiment?`
It smells like something, but I don’t know exactly yet.
It teaches you how to hide your powerful powers, she said.
This is a tempting suggestion for solo players who want to secretly eat well and live well.
She could see through Cynthia’s heart, or at least recognized Cynthia’s strength.
If anyone has seen it, they’d think Cynthia was stupid for following a girl she’d never seen before, but…
Cynthia was confident that she would never lose.
If you intend to cooperate in something, you are willing to accept it.
But if she commits a vicious criminal act, she will not forgive her.
If you’re a woman, you can use Cynthia’s ability to make her a slime slave…
Cynthia followed her mysterious guide to a very luxurious room.
In the middle of the living room, there is a magic that completely blocks moisture from spreading to the surroundings. There is a colorful hot tub in a square shape.
There was literally nothing in the room that was enough for five people to live in.
It was a miniature version of Juji Forest, which Cynthia saw at Sena’s mansion, overflowing with things to eat and enjoy.
At least, looking at the colorful lighting and clean facilities, it doesn’t feel illegal.
A banquet hall for luxurious aristocrats in ancient Rome? It was at that level.
“How about it? Would you like a drink? Traditional liquor? Or wine? Whiskey? Or… Juice? Whoa…”
She looked down at Cynthia and flicked her tongue.
Seeing Cynthia’s cute appearance, they look down on her as if she were dealing with a younger person.
She put her hands together, slightly accentuating her breasts, and let out a bewitching smile on her man.
Looking at her figure, would Cynthia just show off her double dick? She thought too.
“Okay. I came because I was told to teach you how to hide your powerful powers.”
Cynthia wanted to get straight to the point.
“Oh! You have a quick temper. Isn’t the world a give and take?”
“What do you want?”
Cynthia was somewhat expecting her answer, but she asked yes.
“You can help me. I need help from a secret and mysterious human like you?”
Cynthia’s expectations were wrong. That too for a while.
She opened her portal with a deft hand.
When Cynthia heard the word human, she realized she wasn’t a player or a person.
As much as she was preparing her heart, Cynthia immediately raised her mana.
“What is it?”
In response to Cynthia’s vigilance and her question, she calmly took off her bread hat.
Then… I saw the ears of a brown beast popping up above her head.
When you go to an amusement park, couples wear headbands like that.
But the ears of a brown fox. Those were really living, moving ears.
She took off her hat and took off her gloves, and this time a brown fox’s hand appeared, not a human hand.
Brown fur from fingers to elbows and hands of a beast.
She is not human
Cynthia immediately stepped behind her and took out her doll.
However, she still only laughed and did not generate mana or show an aggressive attitude.
“I am a Beast Man. Among them, I am one of the representatives of the Fox Tribe. I was looking for a strong and stealthy player. I need your help.”
“…”
Other races appeared in reality, not in dungeons?
Of course, Cynthia had enslaved her slime queen and raised her in her own workshop (?), So it came as no surprise to her.
However, it was truly surprising that a race different from humans, or beings called monsters, asked humans for help.
She greeted him politely like an aristocratic lady and once again said she needed help.
“What help do you need?”
Cynthia asked without letting go of her guard until the end.
“It’s a long story. Would you like to sit down and listen seriously?”
She pointed to a table topped with ornate ornaments and smiled faintly.

“We, the Beasts, are made up of four races.”
One representative of the fox tribe did not show her intent to attack Cynthia and began to calmly explain.
“The four races of rabbits, cats, foxes, and wolves worked together to clear the land and mountains and live. By working together, the Beasts were developing and growing without major conflict. I ran into a problem.”
After saying that, Hana poured white wine into a wine glass and drank it.
“Whoa… I ended up having a territory conflict with the Orc race. At first, we made a good agreement to be careful with each other. However, in order for the race to grow and grow, more resources were needed.”
Cynthia understood the situation even if she had only heard this far, and nodded her head.
“In the end, conflicts turned into conflicts, and conflicts brought blood. We each tried to come to an agreement after understanding the situation. However, the years of famine and conflicts brought us to the brink of war.”
Hana drank another glass of white wine, as if her stomach was burning.
“So? What help do you want from me? Do you want me to be a mercenary?”
Cynthia had been talking casually all along, but her expression didn’t change as if it didn’t matter at all.
“Whoa… Yes. That’s right.”
“It’s strange? You’re making such an offer to me, whom you’re seeing for the first time today?”
Said Cynthia, narrowing her brows, interrogating like a detective.
Still, her cute looks didn’t go anywhere.
“Yes. Nico, the representative of the cat race, advised me. Since ancient times, cats have a mysterious power of foresight. Nico said tonight. Among humans in a dark place, find a cute boy who cannot be tempted by foxes. Although he is an adult, he has good looks. This cute boy has the ability to manipulate things. With this boy’s power, he will be the strongest ally to defeat the orcs… Nico said.”
`Oh? How is it? Did you get it right?`
Cynthia became interested in Nico, who even approximated her abilities with her intelligence.
At the same time, curiosity arose among the beastmen.
The problem is that beast tribes belong to monsters, and the domain of beast tribes is likely to be a dungeon from the player’s point of view.
Like the dungeon where Aurene lives.
“What if I refuse?”
“How to hide the powerful aura…”
“There are many ways to hide my aura without knowing.”
At first I was hesitant, but when I think about it, there is a way for Cynthia to safely forge her identity.
Just make a doll and control it remotely.
She won’t get the credit for being a strong player, but she’s much better off because the side gets less attention from her.
As Cynthia came out confidently, her face slightly reddened, and Hana flashed in her eyes.
“Then why did you obediently follow me?”
“If you’re doing weird things or are involved in crime, I’m going to kill you.”
Her appearance is cute, but the words in it were by no means bluffing.
It was said while glaring at Hana from her heart.
“I heard the story well, but it’s over if I don’t help. And if I get caught helping a non-human race, I’ll be in trouble. Rather, if I capture you and take you to the Players Association, I can get a big reward.”
The moment Cynthia said that, dark attribute mana swayed from her body.
“No matter how strong you are, I’m the representative of the fox tribe. It won’t be easy.”
“Let’s fight? I don’t care, but don’t you need me desperately? Then, isn’t it the right order to offer a different reward?”
Cynthia said so, but one of hers did not let her guard down and kept an eye on her cute little girl like an enemy.
“I want elixirs or money. Especially elixirs related to mana. If you give me a reward that matches my ability, there’s no reason not to cooperate.”
Ordinarily, on hearing this, she would have said that she would help out like a hero without pay.
But this is the work of this species.
Also, Cynthia has now been corrupted by slime bodily fluids, and has become a player who is half slime and half human.
And after seeing firsthand players and topheads like Senna using her abilities for dirty work…
Cynthia’s reasons for and her justification for her player’s sense of justice are much blurred.
“Looking at it now, you’re a mercenary?”
When she said that she would cooperate if given an elixir or money, her guard was slightly relaxed.
“What would you do if the orc offered to give you a better elixir or more money?”
“Even though mercenaries are a job that depends on money, if you cheat on them, your reputation will be ruined.
It’s not a normal request, it’s a request from this race and what is called a monster.
It’s dangerous, but this race’s elixir is a rare item that can’t be obtained that easily, so it’s not bad to gamble once.
“Okay. I’ll accept the deal.”
Hana nodded her head slowly.
“But before that, prove your skills. At least I’ll see if you can beat me…”
As Hana said that, the luxurious room turned into black darkness.
