Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Drowned Rat

"What? No. Leader said to watch her."

"The leader is not here, and this is a storm."

"If she cannot keep up, that is her own problem. Serves her right for being shiftless."

"But—"

"Will you carry her?"

"It will be difficult navigating the weather, I cannot—"

"Exactly! And she will slow us down, too."

Their considering abandoning her was one thing, but them discussing this so brazenly in front of her as if she wasn’t even there was infuriating.

These beast-folk were already looking for an excuse to get rid of her, and this storm was the perfect cover.

’These pieces of shit!’

Survival of the fittest or not, she had literally just helped them with temporary shelter, and this was how they repaid her?!

Before Tera could lash out at them, the beast folk started moving. One by one, they shifted into their beast forms and dashed out into the storm. Their larger bodies, thicker fur, claws that could grip the wet ground, and senses would help them navigate through the rain.

Their beast forms cut through the wind and rain with ease, and she waited for someone to turn back, to offer her a ride, or at least acknowledge she existed.

But not one of them looked back at Tera.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Rage started building in her chest before she noticed she had not seen Ermin in the shack. But she didn’t have the time to think about Ermin or Xavi, wherever they were, she was the one in trouble.

But still, it pissed her so much that those idiots had actually left her behind to die!

[Host is alone]

[Population of immediate area: 1]

[Situation: Not ideal]

[(·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ )]

"Not helpful!"

Tera looked down to see the mud and water leeching into the base of the shack. The structure was soon going to collapse on her.

"Fine," she spat. "Fine. I don’t need them. I can do this shit on my own."

[Host’s survival instincts have been noted]

[This system recommends Host not die]

[It would be very inconvenient for this system’s performance review]

[(◞‸◟)]

Without a second thought, Tera dashed outside, and the wind nearly knocked her sideways.

She was already soaked through, and the cold hit her like a wall. Her new hide clothing clung to her body, and the makeshift shoes Xavi had made were already squelching with water.

’I should have just left them behind in the first place...’

Running was generous. It was more like a determined stagger through increasingly muddy terrain. Her feet slipped with every other step, branches whipped at her arms, and the rain was so heavy she could barely see ten feet ahead.

[A staple stat for fox-type beasts!] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

’You talk too much!’

’When I get to those caves, I am going to slap some sense into every single one of them.’
