Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90: She Brought It To Us!

It had taken Tera ten minutes to notice Kiri was gone.

Her first instinct had been to alert everyone, but she paused. Maybe Kiri had gone back to the settlement. The fox had been sulking constantly, and it had been very funny to see. Though it wasn’t the first time she had left early to avoid Tera’s company.

And there was still Feron and two other males in the clan who would keep watch over Kiri.

But as the afternoon wore on, the others noticed the fox female’s absence.

"Where did Kiri go?"

"She was here just a moment ago."

"Did she leave?"

"I did not see her go."

Tera was about to suggest that Kiri had probably gone back to the settlement when a beast man arrived from the path, having come to the lake to wash himself.

"Did you see Kiri in the settlement?" one of the females asked him.

The male refused, saying she wasn’t there, and the murmuring intensified.

Tera sighed. Kiri had probably followed Xavi’s hunting party again. That fox just never gives up. But even though the hunting party had left hours ago, Kiri would have already caught up to them, so she was safe. These people did not have to worry.

But the others were worried, especially since they felt Kiri might not have caught up to the hunting party.

Tera had wanted to add that Kiri was a grown fox who had made her own choices and could deal with the consequences. But not caring would make Tera look exactly like the kind of person Kiri had been trying to paint her as.

’I hate this.’

The group split up, and Tera went out calling out Kiri’s name at intervals that grew less enthusiastic with each repetition.

They walked for a long time too, and Tera was growing quite irritated as to why they were even searching for this foolish female when Xavi would bring her back as always.

Another thing that added to her anxiety was that they had just ventured into a part of the forest they had never set foot in before.

Maybe the hunting party had, but not her.

She called out one more time. "KIRI!"

Nothing.

Tera grumbled under her breath and turned to go back. This was pointless. If that fox wanted to get herself killed by wandering alone in corrupted territory, that was her—

She froze.

Two small figures were standing between the trees ahead of her.

Cubs.

’WTF?’

She walked towards them. These two were supposed to be back at the settlement. She had clearly told one of the males to take them back!

"What are you two doing here?!"

The bear cub’s lower lip trembled. "We wanted to help find Kiri."

"You were supposed to stay—" Tera stopped. This wasn’t the time for lectures. She needed to get these cubs and herself back to safety.

She grabbed both of them. "We are going back. Right now."

Tera decided to use the system to scan the area. She should have done so earlier.

She had barely turned when both cubs went rigid under her hands.

[( ˶óᯅò) !!]

[HOST!]

[CORRUPTED MONSTER DETECTED!]

[HOST MUST RUN! NOW!]

Tera’s blood went cold.

’What?!’

[NO QUESTIONS!]

[HOST SHOULD RUN AND NOT LOOK BACK!!!]

With growing dread, Tera realised she could not move.

She had always watched horror movies and screamed at characters when they wouldn’t move when a monster was rushing at them.

[HOST!]

And now she was in the same situation.

’This can’t be happening.’

[(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)]

[MOVE YOUR LEGS!]

A sound tore through the forest behind her, like something massive was dragging itself across the earth.
