In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Maria looked at the other person, thought for a few moments, and then slowly threw the stone she had picked out aside. She then took a few steps back to allow the aroma of the barbecue to spread more clearly.

"Maybe you'll feel more at ease this way."

Following Maria's actions, the girl in front of her was stunned. After a moment, a look of deep confusion appeared on her face.

"Well?"

"Come here, child, I mean no harm."

Maria continued to communicate with the other party patiently, and even squatted down, making an invitation-like gesture.

Of course, even if it was an unconscious action, that elegance was engraved into Maria's bones, and the action made the puppy girl look puzzled.

But she still saw the stranger's kindness towards her.

Although she was very scared, the girl still couldn't bear it anymore because of her rumbling stomach.

After a moment, she also walked out of the bushes carefully.

The first thing Maria noticed was the scars, large and small, covering the girl's body... The girl seemed like a savage, wandering the forest. Even her clothing was simply animal skins, more like armor than clothing...

Maria couldn't help but feel a little pity.

But then, her eyes suddenly widened.

On this girl...

With a tail?!

Does a normal person have a tail?!

And animal ears?!

beast?!

She is a beast?!

Maria was instantly alert and stepped back almost in the blink of an eye.

She gripped the polished stone again and looked at the brown-yellow girl in front of her, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

There is no doubt that, although very little has changed, this girl is a beast!

She is not human!

Has this world... come to this?!

Thinking of this, Maria's emotions became complicated, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the girl gradually changed.

But the puppy girl in front of her was frightened by this.

She shuddered subconsciously, and then saw Maria taking defensive action.

After hesitating for a while, she couldn't resist the aroma of the barbecue. She gritted her teeth decisively and pounced, as if she wanted to launch an attack on Maria!

But unfortunately, this puppy girl obviously underestimated the ability gap between the two sides.

Although her explosive power was amazing, she covered a distance of several meters in the blink of an eye.

But Maria simply stretched out her hand and accurately let the other person's neck fall into her hands.

Then...

Press to the ground!

She just like that, bullying the girl with a painful look on her face.

The puppy girl still wanted to struggle, kicking Maria weakly with her legs, and trying hard with her hands to pry away the hand that was controlling her neck.

But Maria's body was as still as steel.

A pair of gray-black eyes turned from pity to coldness.

"Poor life...rest assured."

"I will end...your suffering."

Chapter 3 It's time for a bath, puppy

"..."

"..."

As the night deepened, the forest gradually grew colder.

Maria sat by the campfire and took a rest.

Next to her, the brown girl who looked like a puppy was tied up by a vine.

But compared to those professional kidnapping methods, Maria simply made a collar for the puppy girl and put it on.

The other end of the collar was tied around her wrist.

In the end, she didn't really kill the puppy girl.

Maria is not an extreme hunter who kills every animal she sees.

On the contrary, compared to other hunters, Maria is actually a moderate type.

She knew clearly that not all of those beastly people were evil. Many of them simply could not control their desires.

Faced with the temptation of the foreign gods, even the original hunter, Maria's teacher, the man named German, could not resist, let alone these ordinary people.

Therefore, Maria has done many things to protect patients with animal transformation in her reincarnations.

Even at the cost of fighting with other hunters.

However, the further it went on, the more Maria forgot this point.

Thinking about it, Maria shook her head and looked at the girl in front of her again.

Although it's strange, but... this girl doesn't seem to be the same type as those beastmen.

Although the girl is wild, she is not cruel. It seems that she has been wandering alone in the forest for a long time and has rarely come into contact with people, so she behaves like a beast.

After all, all she could see were wild beasts.

Even when Maria wanted to ask the other person's name, she couldn't utter a word.

This made Maria feel helpless.

What really stopped Maria was the girl's crying...

Those orcs who have gone crazy will not cry. They will just keep hunting and fighting until the day they kill them completely.

And obviously, the girl in front of him was not that type.

In the face of death, she would despair and show an expression of fear.

Even at the last moment, I would close my eyes in fear.

This also means that she is a life with intelligence.

Not a beast.

This made Maria finally give up the idea of ​​killing him.

Of course, they would not kill her, but it was unlikely that they would let the girl go.

No matter how rational a beast is, it is still a beast. Maria would not be so foolish as to let a beast-transformed person walk around freely.

So she chose to take it with her.

As she was thinking, Maria saw the other person staring at the barbecue with her mouth watering, and she picked up a skewer of barbecue without changing her expression and placed it in front of her.

"Woo?"

The girl tilted her head and shrank back, her expression a mixture of nervousness and worry.

But Maria didn't say much. She just silently stuffed the barbecue into the girl's hand, picked up a skewer and started to taste it.

Maria ate very elegantly. She slightly opened her pursed lips, gently bit a piece of meat, took it out along the direction of the wooden skewer, and then slowly chewed and tasted it.

Because no blood was drained, the barbecue tasted a bit strange, but if it was just used as emergency food, it was still edible.

But... this thing is a rare delicacy for the puppy girl.

Compared to Maria's elegant way of eating, the girl's eating behavior can be described as extremely violent.

If Maria hadn't stopped her, she had no doubt that the silly girl would have eaten the wooden stick as well!

This made Maria's eyes soften.

"Even though he's transformed into a beast, he's still just a child, right?"

"Well?"

The girl who had finished eating the barbecue tilted her head and looked at Maria.

"Nothing, puppy..."

Maria doesn't show much tenderness to outsiders, and she is stiff, blunt, and cold.

After knowing that the girl had no name, he just casually called her puppy.

After all, the tail and habits are really not much different from those of a puppy.

And seeing the other person licking the remaining oil on his wrist, he couldn't bear it.

She took out several pieces of barbecue and handed them to the other party.

This time, the other party was no longer as afraid of Maria as before. After struggling to hold the barbecue with both hands, he stuffed them into his mouth and started eating.

She had completely forgotten that Maria almost killed her just now.

He even looked at Maria with an unsatisfied look, and his tail was wagging so excitedly that he could use it to hit people.

He's a stupid dog who only cares about food but not about punishment...

Maria was a little amused and helpless when she saw this.

"Being unsatisfied is not a good thing...it will lead you to the abyss, little dog."

Tentatively extending a hand, Maria approached the girl.

The girl was obviously afraid of Maria who had no food, so she shrank back when she saw Maria approaching.

Are you...gonna strangle me again?!

The girl thought fearfully, her body curled up due to trembling, and her eyes were tightly closed.

But what she waited for was not some terrible punishment, but a caress.

A very gentle touch.

The slender, cold fingers gently held the girl's face, teasing her gently.

The moonlight scattered on her black hunting suit, outlining her inhuman beauty.

The sharp eyes looked down at the girl condescendingly, and under the shining light, they revealed dazzling colors.

The lips...are slightly shiny due to the residual oil.

The silly puppy just sat on the ground, staring blankly at its 'companion' in front of it, with an unknown light flashing in its big eyes.

"Hmm~"

After a few pauses, the puppy girl suddenly moved, stuck out her tongue, and licked Maria's lips hard.

This made Maria stunned for a few seconds.

"Are you still not full? You greedy guy."

Maria was not angry. She just stretched out her thumb and slowly wiped the remaining saliva and grease on her face.

When you reach out your hand again, the puppy girl will lick it carefully.

It can be seen that for a girl, such food really makes her linger.

The rough calluses slid gently across the girl's chin, fell onto her neck, and then slowly went around her sides, caressing the back of her head.

With a gentle push, Maria rested the girl's head on her chest.

"Well!"

Maria could clearly feel the girl's body tensed up instantly, and she trembled slightly as if she was still afraid.
