Chereads / Reborn as a Fox Beastman with Modern Knowledge / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Journey

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Journey

Well, I didn't manage to sleep much. I should go to the lake to pass the time. It's still very early in the morning so the sun is not up yet, good thing its a full moon.

●[At The Lake]

Now that I'm at the lake, what should I do? Should I practice shooting... wait? That's it! I should get an assault rifle instead of shooting with my M9! It will have extra ammo in their magazines, increased range, can be attached with optics and accessories, and more power due to a larger caliber, the only downside is its weight and size but that's it. But, what kind of model the assault rifle will it be?

"[CREATE]"

In my hand was an HK416 that is an improved version of the M4 carbine with its short-stroke gas piston system. I then added an Aimpoint CompM4 with a 4x magnifier as my optic, sling, flashlight, Infrared (IR) laser, and extra 30 round STANAG magazines. I also got other types of equipment like night vision goggles (NVG), a tactical helmet, tactical gloves, ballistic glasses, binoculars, magazine pouch for my pistol magazines, and a tactical level 4 body armor that can stop a 30-06 armor-piercing round with pouches that can carry multiple magazines. People might look at me as weirdo wearing this kind of equipment that isn't normally seen, but it will give me a huge edge in combat. Especially at night with my NVG, IR laser, and adding suppressors to my guns. It will practically make me a grim ripper at night. Let's test out my new toy. Oh right, earplugs and my new ballistic glasses.

*bangbangbang*

Optic's good, flashlight good, NVG's working with the IR laser. Let's try full-auto.

*ratatatat* *ratatata* *ratatatatatat* *click*

Wow! That was fun! Its a bit unwieldy during full-auto, but it's a good thing if you want to pump the enemy full of lead. I think its time for me to get packing. The sun is starting to rise up from the horizon. I should make a backpack, maybe military grade.

●[At The Edge of Town]

"Bye Mom, Dad, I will write you letters every day!"

"Goodbye, Sally! I will miss you, sweetie"

"Take good care, Sally."

"I will."

After Sally said goodbye to her parents, it's my turn.

"Felix, take good care of them. Give them your love and they will do the same to you. I love you, Felix."

"Love you too mom."

We hugged for a good 10 seconds before letting go. This will be my and Sally's first time leaving Calli village and were excited to see new people and places. Onwards to my journey!

●[Two days later]

I'm bored... so very bored. At first, I thought traveling would be very fun, but after a day of uneventful traveling in a very slow horse-drawn carriage, my mind was looking for stimulation. Not just me, but everyone in the group was bored. All we can do was just rest, eat, read, talk, and sleep and have been doing that for the past 2 days. I asked the coachman how long is the next town.

"22 kilometers left and we will arrive in the town at dusk."

"That long!?"

I want to make a car, but I can't just make a truck and drive to anywhere I want. That will startle the other people. Well, I like to see their expression when I drive at 60 km/h. That will be hilarious. But that will also have to make me wait an hour per every 1,000kg of an item I make, making [Create] unable to be used. A typical car weighs about 1,300kg. I have to find the right time to make one.

"So King Philip. What do you usually do on a long trip?"

Sally suddenly asked a question. Well, we are bored so talking is mostly what we can do.

"Well, I read books and sometimes talk to my guards but that's only it."

"How about you Lillian? Anything you would do?"

"Same as Father."

"Oh, ok."

"How about you Daren?"

"I'm bored!"

I should make a board game. Wait, is there even a board game in this world? I think entertainment for people is not really developed yet.

"I have an idea to pass the time."

"""""WHAT IS IT!?"""""

"Gah!?"

That scared me! I didn't think the boredom is to this extent!

"[Create]"

What I made is three sets of chess boards. Teacher Hastos was curious.

"Felix, what is this."

"A strategy game. It's a game about using your army to catch and kill the king."

"Interesting."

"Let me tell you the rules and movements of the pieces"

After teaching them the rules and movements of the pieces it became a hit. Almost all of their time was playing chess. Then the Philip proposed something.

"Sell this to me, son. I will ask a company to sell and distribute this and you will have 20% of the earnings. This will become a huge hit!"

I never thought Philip has a merchant mindset. Well, if you are a King that's given that you want to improve the lives of your people.

"How about you put a trademark."

"A trademark?"

I then explain to the king what and how trademarks are used.

"So it will help reduce copycats, help the company be recognized, and make costumers much more likely to return and buy your other products."

"Felix, I always wonder whether your still a child or not? Even a merchant hasn't thought about this, it will revolutionize business!"

Teacher Hastos commented. Well, it's actually common on Earth so I'm just bringing the idea here. Wait, is that the town I see outside?

"Foxy! I see the town!"

I look at the window and see a lot of buildings with a large church in the middle.

"This is the town of Walden, our next stop before the capital."

The coachman informed us.

"So how long will we arrived at the capital."

"Another 300 kilometers"

... I will just make a car before traveling.

●[Inside an Inn, Night time]

"I'm beat!"

I then lay on the bed resting my tired body. Also, Sally and Lillian will be staying in my room in the meantime.

"Hubby, there is a bath here so let's go in together!"

"Yes, Foxy! Let's get in together!"

That made red as a tomato.

"No, no, no, I can't go in there with you!"

"Why Hubby? Where going to get married anyway."

"Yah! Come join us Foxy!"

"I'm not ready for something like that! I'm going just to take a bath after you're done!"

"That's too bad hubby. I'm going to slightly leave the door open so that you can still join us."

"I hope you changed your mind Foxy!"

"Nope! Not changing my mind!"

After they went inside they actually leave the door slightly open. Nope! I will just wear my earplugs so that I can't hear them. I then went to the window to look outside. What the? I managed to glance a hooded man in the alleyway looking at the inn but his too far away to see any details especially with the cloak. Good thing I have binoculars. Let's see, a young teen male and a girl at the same age as me? Wait, Let's see their hands, they both have the tattoo? So they managed to follow us here huh. Ok, let's pay them a little visit. I grabbed my M9, KA-BAR knife, and my NVG. I also added an IRL laser and suppressor on my M9 drastically reducing the sound. After I told them I'm going out for a bit, I greeted some of the knights guarding. I then walk along the street away from the inn. Good, there following me. I then walk towards the darkest alleyway I can find and hid there while enabling my IR laser and NVG.

"Shit, where is he!?"

"I don't know? It's too dark to see."

After they enter the alleyway, I then make my move. I draw my gun and pushed the barrel on his head while my KA-BAR is on the girl's throat. I then spoke with a cold voice, devoid of any compassion.

"Don't move, or you're dead. You know what this is, do you?"

"Ye-yes, I know what that is. But, please spare my sister. She's just a trainee."

"I will do anything! *sob* Just please don't hurt my brother! He's my only family!"

Their siblings huh? That's why they look similar.

"Anything?"

"Anything! Just don't hurt my sister."

I pulled the gun and knife away from them, but just in case I have it ready and turn on my flashlight.

"*Sigh* Look, I'm not a heartless person. But, I will kill those who will hurt us. Do you understand?"

""Yes!""

"Good, what I want to ask is why you are here?"

After talking to them. They were the ones responsible that tried to kidnap Lillian and Daren. But, they did so that they can have money to buy food and the quest's bounty was enough for them to last a month. But when Lillian and Daren escaped, they tried to capture them but the trolls got in their way and managed to reach the lake where I am. They tried to use force to get them but saw me and the power of my gun when fighting the trolls so they just observed us instead, finding the right time to strike but the knights learned from their mistake and were more vigilant.

"So the reason you joined the Black Dagger group so that you can have money to feed yourselves?"

""That's right.""

Hmm. I can't deny that they have a tough life and did some wrong things. I would personally do it just to survive. People have to adapt to survive and these 2 are no exception. I guess I can offer them something.

"How about you join me at the capital so you can work at the castle."

"Seriously!? Even for what we did you still accepted us and even give us a new job! Thank you! Thank you very much, Master!"

"Thank you!"

"Don't call me Master, just Felix is fine."

"Ok Master Felix."

Still calling me Master. *sigh*

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Certainly Master, my name is James and this is my Little Sister Katherine, Kat for short."

"Hello there master, I'm Kat"

James looks like in his early teens, with short black hair and brown eyes. His sister Kat looks like to be the same age as me, with a bob cut hair and same brown eyes as his brother.

"Nice to meet you guys, as early compensation here's a bag of 20 silver coins."

"Wow! Brother, we don't have to starve anymore with the money Master gave us! Thank you!"

"Master! That's too much!"

Actually, I can make more with [Create] if I have too, but that's just not fair for other people working. I already exchange my platinum coin to a bank so I have a lot of extra money.

"Keep it. That's your reward for being honest with me. Meet me at the inn tomorrow morning and also ask for forgiveness to them."

"Yes, Master. I will meet you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you again, Master!"

I went back to my room. And what I arrived at was a sight to behold. If this was an anime I would be spewing blood from my nose. What I was seeing was Sally wearing a white negligee and Lillian wearing a black one.

"Foxy, where have you been? We've been waiting for ~you♡."

"Hubby! Its time for ~bed♡!"

"I'm going to take a bath first!"

This is bad! I never thought there going to sleep in that!? How fast do people mature in this world!? Focus! Just take a bath and sleep, no shenanigans!

●[After The Bath]

I dress to my pajamas, went to the bed, and waiting on it was my 2 Fiancees. I don't know if I should be happy or scared? I then went on the bed and got sandwich by 2 developing girls, needless to say, I'm red as a tomato.

"Good night ~Hubby♡"

"Good night ~Foxy♡."

"G-good night."

This is going to be a long... night. I hope my willpower is strong enough.
