　The night I was tossed into the monster-infested Dangerous Forest at Rose.

　I was resting on a tree in my underwear.

　It is pitch black around me. All I can rely on is the light of the moon, which is several times larger than that of the original world. Nocturnal monsters are active, or perhaps they are, and we can hear their noisy cries.

　In the first place, there were no tools for lighting a fire.

　After running and hiding from the ground grizzly and the blue grizzly for about three hours, I questioned the bears that never dispersed, and finally came to the conclusion that they were being chased by a scent.

　If so, I thought I could wash off the scent of their bodies with water, so I looked for a place where there was a body of water. I soon found a place that looked like a waterfall and jumped into it without hesitation.

"Oh, no!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hold your mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I talk quietly to the rabbit on my shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Thanks for your help."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rabbit starts grooming its fur as if embarrassed by my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You shy little thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
