Chapter 5
Hi, Seimei here! I will be posting the original translations (with the original translatorβs permission) while slightly retouching the story from this chapter up to chapter 170. Enjoy!
When I opened my eyes, I was enveloped in light-brown fur. Maybe it was due to the warmth and the fluffiness, but it had the feeling of security akin to being in a bed.
Iβm pretty sure I died on the battlefield in Athos, butβ¦Β Β
“Kyuu, kyuuaoon?βΒ (What in the world is happening?)
Wh-what? I can’t speak!?
Probably sensing my agitation, the little ball of fluff next to me woke up and gave me a playful bite.
Stop it, you bastard, where do you think youβre licking!?
No, not that place, what the heck are you thinking!?
“Kuua, kuua, kuaaann!βΒ (S-stop it, aaaaaaah!!)
Even the other fluff ball on the opposite side joined in the fray as I frantically fought against the sudden threat to my chastity.Β
βUkyuu βͺβ
βKukyuuu!?βΒ (You too!?)
I responded with violence to the ball of fluff who climbed on me from the side.
βKuh, kuwawafuh!βΒ (Kuu, eat my fist!!)
βPofu*β
βKyuh, kyuaauuh!?β Β (What, itβs not working!?)
My soft paws buffered the shock of my punch, and I belatedly noticed my small and fluffy hands.
βKh, kyuukyuah!? Kukyuhβ Β β(Wh, what the hell is this hand!? Eei!)β
Pofu, pofu, pofu-pofu, Pofu-pofu-pofu-pofu-pofu
βKyu, kyuaaaan βͺβ
βKu, kuruan! Kyuou?βΒ (Hey, why are you happy!? Are you an M!?)
Β Even though I desperately tried to resist, my breath caught, and I lost my strength as the two fluff balls tried to lick me greedily until I was covered in droolβ¦
βUu~βΒ
Just when I had half given up and let them do as they pleased, the huge, fluffy creature that had been enveloping us unexpectedly stirred. Looking up, I saw a humanoid, dog-type beast, which could not be mistaken as anything but a Kobold… I instinctively understood what I was now.
(Wha!? Iβm a Kobold!?)Β
Amid the shock and confusion, I was wrapped up in my humanoid canine motherβs arms, and my exhausted puppy body was unable to resist the drowsiness as I was lulled to sleep.
This is how I was born as a Kobold, a dog-type humanoid beast that lives in the woodlands. Currently, I live with four other family members in a dark, underground lair at the back of the forest. There are several similar lairs in the vicinity, and all in all, about 30 Kobolds live in the area.
As soon as I was able to crawl, I popped my head out of the burrow to scout, but my mother gently picked me up and brought me back to bed.Β Β
Β βKyu, kuun, kuaaanβΒ (Fu, mother, I get it already.)
Curiosity killed the cat⦠Yep, that is apt for the current me.
By the way, my little sister also imitated me and crawled to the exit, but was brought back immediately. As my motherΒ looked at us with a satisfied nod, I suddenly felt a presence behind me.
Β βHapuh.β
βKyan!?β
Β Quicker than I could turn around, my little brother bit my tail. Kuh, this kid attacks me from the back when Iβm not careful, oi!?
Pofu, pofu-pofu-pofu
Haa, haaβ¦ I wasted energy againβ¦
I should mention that I do not know the order in which I was born, and referring to my siblings as my younger sister and brother is merely subjective. And since I feel older, I didnβt participate in the rivalry to be beside my mother and left it to them instead.
Sometime later, my first test came as I was being weaned off.
βKyuou, garuoguaoaaan!?βΒ (Father, are you telling me to eat this!?)
βWafu, uoauβΒ (Yes, thatβs right.)
The thing placed in front of me was a rabbit with its neck ripped off. Of course, its wild scent was overflowing because of the dripping blood.
βKyuunβ¦β
I hesitated as I saw it and climbed up on my motherβs knee to try begging for milk, but I was immediately picked up and returned to the dead rabbitβs side.Β
βKyuu βͺβ
βWafuh!β
Β Tsk, my little sister and brother are already greedily eating. These damn beasts!!
Whatever.Β I get it, if I donβt eat this, then Iβll only starve to death later!
Chomp
Nn, it’s delicious!?
(Is it because my sense of taste is that of a Koboldβs?)
And so, my siblings and I ate the food that father huntedβ¦
