When I opened my eyes once more, I was greeted with the sight of a white ceiling.

Which makes me confused, since I live in a tent.

Where am I?

As I lay there in a comfortable bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, I suddenly remembered the fact that I was dying from the horned rabbit stab, which made me realize that there is now a huge hole in my stomach.

“Ugh!”

I hurriedly touched my stomach, but found no hole in there.

Did that girl heal me after I fainted?

“Haaa…”

Did I cause another trouble?

With guilt filling my heart, I sighed, then, as I lay there blankly staring at the ceiling, an unknown person’s voice spoke to me.

“You are awake already?”

Turning to the side, I saw the girl who had helped me.

I wanted to thank her, but something was off.

Despite being by my side, it felt like I’m hearing her voice from above my head.

“Huh?”

Confused, I reached above my head and felt something soft and furry, like animal ears.

Strangely, I could feel both the sensation of touching and being touched.

It was a weird sensation I had never experienced before, making my shoulders shrink.

“Uh…”

Did I now have animal ears?

Why and how?

Looking up at the girl with trembling eyes, I suddenly fled to the other side of the bed.

My intuition told me that she’s the reason why I become a beastgirl.

“Wa–Wait a moment!”

“Stay away.”

Once, I heard rumors about a group of kidnappers who would kidnap people and change their bodies, then sell them as sex slaves to some wealthy VIP.

Perhaps this girl was a member of that group.

“Calm down and come here, will you?”

Calm down?

While she’s trying to turn me into someone’s pet? I don’t think so!

I ran around the room, avoiding the girl all the while.

“Don’t follow me!”

Despite trying my best to escape from her, in the end, she’s able to corner me into the edge of the room.

While leaning against one wall, I realized another thing.

The girl, who before my blackout, was about my height, seemed much taller now.

It took me a moment, but I realized that It wasn’t that she had grown, but instead, I had shrunk.

‘Crap.’

DId I really get kidnapped by those rumored slavers?

It felt so unfair, I didn’t harm anyone, and tried my best living without being a burden, so why did this happen to me?

“Don’t be scared, can we talk?”

“I don’t want to…”

I resented my frail, powerless body.

As I looked down in shame, I noticed a long, furry thing touching my stomach.

It looked like a cat’s tail, but there was no cat in the room.

When I reflexively grabbed the furry thing, my waist twitched.

It felt as if the furry thing was a part of my body.

“Huh?”

Why did my waist feel like it was being pulled?

I looked back hastily, and saw that the furry thing attached to my tailbone.

“…I have a tail?”

First, the ears, and now, a tail.

How much has my body been changed!?

Frozen in shock, I just glanced at the girl.

“Just calm down for a moment? I’ll explain everything.”

The person who kidnapped, modified, and about to sell me as a pet to some sick VIP was asking me to calm down, all while reaching out her hand.

It was an absurd situation, but I had no choice but to accept it.

“…Just tell me what you want.”

“Um… Before that, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Do you mind telling me your name and age?”

She wants to know my name and age.

Curiosity about the test subject’s personal information, huh?

It was too obvious what she wanted, and I didn’t feel like telling her.

“I don’t know my age.”

“Oh, is that so? You don’t remember how many years you’ve lived?”

“Yes. I don’t remember.”

I had been living on the streets ever since coming into this alternate reality, so it wasn’t strange for me not to know my name and age.

“Then, do you have any memories of attending a place like school?”

“No. I’ve never been to school.”

Did she take me for a fool?

She must be trying to extract information about my background through my school.
