34 Taking care of the Demi-Humans (1/2)
Upon arriving in the guild space Raymond led the demi-humans into the guild house. When the demi-humans saw the stronghold in the middle of the Rakaja forest they were surprised. Rakaja is a demi-human word for monster.
Currently, Raymond whose race was human was speaking the language of this world. He hasn't noticed yet but the language he was using was that of the natives. Some of the demi-humans could understand only a bit of what he was saying. The only one who knew how to speak the human language well enough to talk was the three-tailed fox girl.
As the demi-humans continued to walk through the stone walls of the guild, they started thinking that the man in front of them must be an influential human. Knowing this fact the group of demi-human grew even warier knowing of Raymond.
To them, it was possible that Raymond was lulling them into a false sense of security before selling them off as slaves, like what most influential humans have done. They had heard the stories of how humans trick demi-humans into slavery. It was especially true for the beastman race such as theirs. Among demi-humans, their race was the one humans liked to capture the most.
When they arrived at the storage room they saw numerous weapons and armor. Some of them even thought of getting the weapons and using them to escape from Raymond. They quickly discarded this plan since they couldn't even move properly much less hold a weapon. Also for some reason, they didn't really hate Raymond, despite him being human.
'He did save us after all... He might be a human but maybe he was different from the others.' That single thought suddenly came into each of the demi-humans' minds. Unaware that his charm skill was doing its job properly, Raymond was able to find clothing for the women, he then handed each of the demi-humans clothes.
After giving them clothes Raymond guided them into the kitchen. Raymond with his cooking at level 1 was able to make a meal that made the demi-humans mouth watery. The smell that filled the room made the stomachs of the demi-humans growl in anticipation.
When Raymond served the demi-humans the soup they hesitated a bit, but then the three-tailed fox girl took a sip.
”Delicious!” She started gorging down the soup. Of course, she didn't forget to feed her sister as well. Though she had a blank expression the little sister was still able to open her mouth once the food was near her. Seeing the siblings eat without anything happening to them, the others started to eat as well.
Raymond looked at the demi-humans and sighed. He needed to get back to the guild members, but he couldn't just leave the demi-humans unattended. He wanted to ask the guild members to take care of the demi-humans, but after seeing their reactions he decided that wasn't the best course of action.
While he was thinking of what to do Raymond suddenly heard someone shouting outside of the guild house. He left the girls to their meal as he headed outside.
...
”What the hell was that?!”
”That Oni was ridiculously fast for its size.”
