God-Hunter Mage

Kitsune

There was a young girl who had fox ears on her head and a golden furry tail which surrounded her body. She wore a disheveled kimono with a couple of stockings. She looked at Kieran and tilted her head.

She winked her eyes and urged, "Could you help me? please."

"You're Kitsune, why you could end up here?"

Kitsune was a beastman sub-race that had mixed features of fox and human. Kitsune race was ruling Farest Archipelago and was known as a highly beastman sub-race. It was common sense that kidnapping a Kitsune was dangerous, cause you could hunt by one kingdom. Every Kitsune were noblest.

"Someone caught me. I'll pay back your kindness, so could you break these chains?." She showed the chains which bound her hands and feet.

Kieran approached the young girl. He kneel in front of her, then he looked at the chains carefully. He realized on every metal ring of the chains, there was a word on it.

"What happens? Can you break it?" The young girl asked. She was looking down at Kieran.

"This chain... there is a seal on it. There is no way someone put the seal on a young normal fox girl. So, who you are?" Kieran narrowed his eyes. There were suspicious things about this girl. A young normal girl wouldn't be so calm in this situation.

She was avoiding eye contact and smiled shyly, "Maybe you wrong about it?"

"Nope, in this world, just one family who has this kind of seal. Moore Family, the family who has been worshipping The Savior Lord." When he said 'Moore family' he showed explosive anger.

She sighed, "My name is Mio Kinutsuka, I am a mage. Even though I looked like a young girl, I am older than you. Are you satisfied now?"

"So, you're a mage. It means you are dangerous. I'm sorry but I won't help someone who could kill me in a second." Kieran stood and turn around, but when he was about to leave her. Mio shouted.

"Could you just break the chains which connected to the box? Please?" Mio said with a lilting voice.

Kieran twisted his head, "Aren't you a mage? You are multiples stronger than an ordinary human. That chains just locked you from using your skill."

"They put some poison in my body, so it's made me, physically weak."

Kieran rolled his eye. Finally, he broke the chains which connected to the box. It was made the chains just bind Mio's hands and feet. After that, Kieran intended to leave this place. After all, other gangsters might come here.

But he heard someone jump and clinked very disgusting metal rings. Kieran turn around and saw Mio following him. He took a harsh breath, "Why are you following me?"

"I don't know about this place and with this weak condition, I think the best choice is to follow you, " Mio made innocent expressions.

Kieran squeezed his forehead. "Whoever kidnapped you is someone who has a connection to the Moore family. While I hate that family so much, I know that family is dangerous enough to make me die. Furthermore, I don't want to put myself in deadly hunting from your family or some gangster who kidnapped you."

"So?"

"It's mean, go away!" Kieran barked.

"I need your help. Please give me help, okay? just 3 days, or you know, until I'm getting stronger and the poison is disappearing."

At that time, Kieran realized this look young but old Kitsune will always follow him no matter what he spoke. So, he just gave up. Kieran walked and approached Mio. Then, he grabbed her waist and lifted her. Her body was jolted, but she did not refuse to be lifted. After that, he put her on his shoulder.

"Why you don't do this earlier?"

"Shut up!"

Kieran went home carefully. He ensured no one see him especially when he was carrying a girl who has fox ears and a golden tail.

Kieran's home was an old crumbly hut. This hut was built in a shabby area. His neighborhood was beggars, paupers, and amputees who couldn't work anymore.

Mio pinched her nose, "Do you live at this fusty place?"

Kieran opened the door. "Yes, are you regretting it now? It's not too late to go away from my fusty place."

Kieran put Mio down. Then, he broke the chains that bind Mio's feet. Now, the chains just bind her hand. But Kieran wouldn't break that chains.

She was looking around the hut, and said, "I'm an adaptive girl, so I think this place isn't too bad."

There was two room in this hut. First, the main room that used as the main activity room such as sleep, eating, and other stuff. The second was the kitchen, he used this room to cook something or brew herbal medicine. Herbal? Yes, Kieran was a herbalist. That was why he went to the forest and luckily found Asmodeus scripture.

"I had killed four people, I don't know if the quest counted it or not."

Kieran opened the status. An organized word was reappearing in front of him.

A glob that seemed like mud and had black color popped up on Kieran's hand. Second later, That mud transformed became a knife. Kieran grabbed the knife handgrip and scratched it to his skin. A small shallow cut appears on his skin. Kieran shook his head, he understood that this knife was really sharp and had a better hardness than an ordinary knife.
