Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Red Eyes

Tera had become, in the two weeks since the wolf cub’s arrival, something she never expected to be so soon. A mother of three.

It was skittish, and for some odd reason, had gravitated towards Tera from the first day and had not wanted anyone else to touch her.

All efforts to find out where the cub came from failed, and the clan had created all sorts of speculations, which were, of course, all ridiculous. Like one saying maybe a flood had washed her nearby when floods literally did not occur there.

And wouldn’t a cub have already drowned in said flood?

Tera had considered the possibility of another tribe in the area, and sure enough, the system confirmed that.

[This system has already assessed the available data]

[The cub shows signs of prolonged separation, malnutrition, and psychological trauma]

[Based on the cub’s size and development, she has been alone for at least one week]

Tera felt sad. The psychological trauma would have likely been due to a corrupted monster, which gave Tera another fear that the tribe might have been annihilated by a corrupted beast.

She had shared this, along with the possibility of another tribe nearby, with Xavi and a few of the others, but they were unsure. They had gone very far at times to hunt for meat and hadn’t encountered any tribe, much less territorial markings or beasts in the area.

Frustrated, Tera had to remind them of the fact that the tribe could be far beyond where they had been.

[It is possible a tribe is located well beyond this system’s scan range]

’Obviously.’

Tera looked down at the small, silent creature in her lap and felt a wave of protectiveness.

Maybe some members of the tribe would be searching for the cub already. Some tribes were aggressive about cubs disappearing due to the low population, so members from her tribe would definitely be searching for her.

’If someone comes for her, we’ll deal with it then.’

[Famous last words]

[(ᵕ—ᴗ—)]

’What?! That’s not what I mean!’

The sound of shrieking laughter pulled Tera’s attention toward the centre of the settlement.

Nadia and Althea were wobbling through the clearing on unsteady legs, their small arms outstretched for balance. Nadia’s brown bear ears bounced with each lurching step, and Althea’s pink panther ears were pinned back in concentration as she tried to keep up with her sister.

They were playing with three other cubs in some chaotic, ruleless game that seemed to involve running in circles and occasionally falling over.

"Mama! Mama, look!"

Nadia had stopped in the middle of the clearing to point at absolutely nothing with the intense pride of a child who believed she had discovered something monumental.

"That’s very nice, sweetheart!" Tera called back, having no idea what she was supposed to be looking at.

"Mama!" Althea echoed, not wanting to be left out. She pointed in a completely different direction.

"Very lovely, my darling!" Tera bounced her head in a nod while the other clan members nearby laughed.

Tera sighed and looked at the cubs.

It was hard to believe she had been in this world for over a year now. Thirteen months, give or take, since she had woken up in this body.

’System. Scan for corrupted monsters.’
