Otherworld Adventure 7 First Friend

The girl that was right now underneath Silver was a half human half beast, the so-called demi-human from the novels he's read.

The girl had golden eyes and platinum hair. She screamed something earlier, but Cecil couldn't make out what she was saying.

It felt like she was screaming in a foreign language, it was probably the native language of this world.

'c.r.a.p, doesn't this make information gathering and blending in even harder? If I don't know this world's language how the h.e.l.l am I supposed to get by?'

"Ugh, another problem added to my already long list."

I mumbled as such while holding my head.

"D*** ***l **! ****s*!"

'Ugh, there it is again. I really can't understand a thing. I tell Silver to get off of her.'

"Silver, it's okay. She's not hostile."

Silver responds with a bark and gets off of the young girl. The girl, after being freed from Silver's claws backs away quickly.

"* *** ** ****y"

"Ugh, I don't understand…"

"****?"

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

"**** *** *** ******?"

'c.r.a.p, this is going nowhere. How the h.e.l.l am I supposed to communicate with this girl.'

"Raa!"

"Huh? ** **** ********** **?"

"Grrr, raaa!"

"**** * **e, **** **** *** ** *** ** e****."

"Woof!"

Silver starts barking at the girl and she responds rigidly to Silver's barks.

'Huh? Silver can communicate with her by barking?'

"Woof!!"

Silver turns toward Cecil and barks, indicating something to him. Cecil stared back at Silver dumbly.

'Silv, although you can understand what I'm saying, but I'm no dog! How am I supposed to get that?!'

Judging by how the beast girl was 'talking' to Silver, they seem to be holding a conversation.

"Silver, if you can communicate with her, ask her who she is and what's she doing here."

"Woof! Woof, woof, woof!"

"** **** ** **y, * ***** ********* **** *** * **** ** *** **** ** ***."

"Woof! WOOF woof!"

"Eeehh? ** *****t **********d w*** ** *****g?"

"Woof!"

"****, ** **** ****** **?"

"Woof… grrr woof!"

"Oh! **** ** * **** ****!"

The two seemed to be seriously communicating. Only problem with this situation is Cecil can't understand what ever it is they were saying.

With Silver barking and the beast girl blabbering on about something. Cecil shrugged and returned to sit by the fire while continuing to grind away at the bone knife with the rocks.

Seeing that Cecil's returned to sit by the fire, Silver comes back and lies down on the spot across from him.

The beast girl follows behind Silver and sits next to him. Cecil thought that the girl would just up and leave when they let her off earlier.

Cecil took another look at her, then s.h.i.+fted his focus back and continued grinding the bone sword with the rock.

Suddenly the girl starts trying to talk to him again.

"***! *** *** ****** *** **d******** * ***d ** *****g?"

Cecil raised his head and looked at her with a confused expression.

"** *** ***e…"

'What the heck, is this girl mocking me or something?'

"Raahh!"

After Silver barked something at the girl, in the next instant, her face changed and it looked like she just saw the most unbelievable thing in the world.

With the girl's change in expression, Cecil's face turned even more confused. Cecil started wondering just what Silver said to her to make her face changed like that.

'Man, if only I could communicate with her somehow.'

"Woof! Raahh!"

"****, ** *** *** ** *** **** *** ***ch ***."

"Woof!"

The two started talking again and Cecil turned his focus back to grinding the bone sword.

A little after that, Silver got up and came over to Cecil and nudged him on the leg.

Cecil looked at him questioningly and Silver waved his head towards the bear meat still hanging close to the fire pit.

"You want me to give her some?"

"Woof!"

Silver shakes his head up and down.

"Okay."

After receiving a confirmation, Cecil gets up and walks over to the roast bear meat and cuts off a portion.

'I guess this is enough for her to eat.'

After cutting it up, he picked up a flat rock that he washed earlier and placed the meat above the rock.

Since there were no plates, Cecil had found and washed a couple of flat-sided rocks. They acted as plates.

Cecil then brings the meat to the girl and she accepts it with both hands.

"Hey, careful. It's still hot."

"****? ***** ***!"

'Man, what a bother. I never thought it would be so hard to talk to someone.'

After handing her the meat, the beast girl stares at the meat and then back at Cecil. She looked at him again and then pointed towards his waist.

Cecil follows her finger and sees that she was pointing at his bone knife.

"You need this?"

"***!"

She nods her head.

"Hmmm…."

Cecil glared at her vigilantly. Seeing Cecil looking at her like that, the beast girl starts panicking and waving her hands while talking in that indiscernible language again.

"**! * **** **** *** ****! * **** ***** *** ** *** ****!"

"What?"

"Woof, woof!"

Silver barks at Cecil, he glances back at him and Silver just stares back.

'I think he means it's okay?'

"Okay, here then."

"***** ***!"

After handing her the knife, Cecil thinks back on the words that the beast girl just said.

'I think it means thanks?'

"Hey, does ***** *** mean thank you?"

"****?"

When Cecil asked her that, it was the girl's turn to look back at him questioningly.

"Raaahh! Woof, woof!"

After Silver barks at her, the girl's eyes light up. Then she starts nodding her head up and down quickly with a smile.

"***, ***** *** ***** thank you!"

"Okay…"

'Heh, my first word in another world was actually thank you.'

Cecil smiles a bit and turns back toward his seat.

Seeing him smile, the beast girl's eyes light up even further. She then starts cutting up the meat and begin stuffing them down into her mouth vigorously.

'Woah, aren't you one hungry little thing…'

Cecil after seeing her puffed up cheeks and the wide smile on her face, involuntarily lets out a smile.

'Heh, how cute.'

He then continue grinding the bone sword.

In only a couple of minutes, the beast girl had finished the entire slab of meat.

When Cecil was observing her eating, he turned astonished at how agile the girl handled his knife. It was plain to see that she was pretty adept with the knife, despite her young age.

Not like he was one to talk, considering how adept he was at handling various weapons.

"Heehh, you're pretty skillful aren't you?"

"Thank you *** *** ****!"

"You're welcome."

'Well I guess practice makes perfect, maybe I can ask this girl to teach me the language of this world.'

"Hey, can you teach me?"

"****?"

Cecil tries gesturing to the girl what he wanted.

After 5 minutes of an exhausting back and forth exchange, she finally got the gist of what Cecil was trying to imply.

"****, *** ***** *** *** ** ****!"

She nodded her head in affirmation but then she pointed towards the pit, more precisely towards the slab of meat hanging above the pit.

"Okay, I give you meat, you teach me."

"****!"

Cecil gestured towards her again, and the girl nodded her head vigorously while giggling.

"Well, I guess I finally have a goal to work towards to for now."

'It'd be cool if I could follow this girl back to the place she's staying at, but I feel like it's too early since I can't even communicate with her, what happens if there are others like her? It'd be pretty awkward and it might even cause a misunderstanding.'

"Umu, ** **** ** ****!"

"Huh?"

After saying something, the beast girl walks over to Cecil and hands him back the knife. After that she grabs a hold of his outstretched hand and tries to pull him up.

"What do you want?"

The girl starts pointing to somewhere and tries to convey something to Cecil.

"What? Do you want me to follow you?"

"Woof!"

"Huh?"

Silver comes over and starts to nudging Cecil from behind. Silver was trying to push him forward, it was like Silver was telling him to follow the girl.

"Okay then, if you say so Silver."

After agreeing with Silver, Cecil then gestures to the girl to wait.

He turned around and quickly packed up all his stuff.

It was a good thing that the fur had already dried. The smoke from the fire had also flushed out any bugs that were still crawling on it.

Cecil quickly stuffed all his belongings into his make-s.h.i.+ft bag. He also grabbed a huge leaf from a tree and wrapped it around the bear meat and stuffed that into the bag too.

After finis.h.i.+ng all that, Cecil looked towards the girl. She was staring at him with curious look on her face.

"What's wrong? Let's go?"

Cecil gestured to the girl that he would follow her. The girl gave him a smile, grabbed his hand, and pulled him along while pointing at the direction from earlier.

Cecil followed and let himself be dragged by this platinum haired 3 tailed girl.

'I don't know where she's taking me, but I have a feeling that it's the place where she lives. If there are any other people like her, I hope my presence wouldn't cause a misunderstanding.'

The worst possible situation would be that her fellow kinsmen would attack him just because Cecil was a different race from them.

The girl turns her head around and points at herself. Then she started saying something to Cecil.

"Lu***."

"Huh?"

"L**ia!"

"Lu*ia?"

"**! Luci*!"

"Lucia?"

Having her name said properly, the girl gives a satisfied nod and says her name again.

"Lucia"

"Ohh, you're Lucia?"

Pointing at her, Cecil then says the exact same word he said earlier.

She nods, and starts pointing back at Cecil while asking something.

"*** ***?"

Somehow, Cecil knew what she wanted. So he points to himself and says.

"I'm Cecil."

"Ce~cel~?"

"CE-CIL"

"Ah! Cecil!"

Cecil smiles at her after she said his name right. Then he points towards Silver.

"This is Silver."

"Silver!"

'What the? Isn't this just total bias?!'

For some reason, Lucia was able to p.r.o.nounce Silver's name properly right off the bat, but had some difficulty p.r.o.nouncing Cecil's name.

"Haha, Lucia, Cecil, Silver!"

"That's right, I'm Cecil, this is Silver and you're Lucia."

"Hihihi!"

Lucia starts smiling and giggling happily after saying each of their names.

Cecil thought, she looked real cute smiling and laughing like that.

'So my first friend from another world turns out to be this platinum haired, golden eyed, 3-tailed beast girl named Lucia, huh'
