Tiger Saming at the running event

The star Fairy Tail is six million light years from Earth.

Hannu Valley

This place was a mountain shaped like a hand reaching for something in the sky. At the tips of the five fingers is the origin of the waterfall that flows down to form a lake in the middle. and flows down to the wrist to the ground to become a river that sustains the lives of the people here In the name of the Ingalo River The lake in the middle of the palm is called "Klu".

In the center was an island. This island is the residence of the head of the Tiger Tribe. who ruled this area for many centuries

The Tigers are a race of monsters that resemble humans. But it had the face of a tiger. Including the hair that covers the body, it has a pattern. Most are orange, but some have white fur. which is very difficult to find

And today, the Tigers gathered at Leader Island. Because someone asked to challenge for the position of clan leader. Everyone was excited because this didn't happen often. The current clan leader, Shaka, was strong and ruled smoothly. The tribesmen were so satisfied with their lives that they were unsure of what the White Tiger challenger's intentions in front of them were.

“Shaka, I would like to compete with you.” The white tiger was kneeling in the center of the circular arena. According to tradition, when someone comes to challenge The clan head had no right to refuse.

Shaka walked out of his house and stood with his arms crossed in front of the challenger. Ordinary Tiger people say that he is very tall. But his body was almost twice as big.

“Kanu, after humans came to liberate us. You wandered off on your own. Why did you come back and do this?”

Kanu grinned, “Nothing, it's just that it's worth a try. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. I don't want to be a clan leader.”

Shaka sighed, "I said, your strange personality."

He changed his posture to take on a battle. “Come in!”

Kanu smiled before rushing towards his opponent. But something unexpected happened.

A portal appears!

It was a door that everyone in Fairy Tail knew. The journey of the slave contract to give up life and rise again over and over again.

But Wittaya and his friends have come to liberate us. There shouldn't be any more portals here.

Kanu could only think as he allowed his body to rush into the portal as this happened too fast for him to stop in time.

“Working in an agile way (

agile)

It is working in a modern office where there is no need to be attached to a department anymore. Rather, it is a temporary collaboration to achieve goals efficiently and quickly. It is a concept that emphasizes flexibility and abandons the essential.”

The new keyboard's sound had been pounding nonstop for half an hour. A young freelancer named "Witthaya" is still excited about the birthday present his lover just bought him. It's a durable mechanical keyboard that's very fun to type on. Until he couldn't help but be delighted that someone knew his heart.

[I've been working for half an hour. Get up and change your posture]

Messages from the health care program appear as warnings as is their duty. The young man wanted to shut it down and continue working out of habit. But when the face of Warin or "Khun Nam", the lover he had recently been dating, floated up, he reluctantly moved to get up. Walked to the window and looked at the rain that was falling gently. Take your phone and check your messages.

Today, aside from the normally enormous open chat group, it was relatively quiet. There was only a chat from Khun Nam that said "send pictures".

Are you going to do any other photoshoots?

He pressed the message and looked at it. It's not a picture of a young woman going to a photo shoot. (Khun Nam has a career as a sports model.) But it is a picture of a resort in Kanchanaburi. Looks shady next to the river.

[Khun Wit sponsors water to compete in trail running. You can have one follower. Mr. Wit is here]

It's not a question: "Come." Normally, when Khun Nam invites you to go somewhere, you always ask to have options. Because she knows that Wittaya is a workaholic in life. But this time there seemed to be no room for refusal.

[He says there's a tiger in this area. Water is afraid.]

Witthaya almost burst out laughing when he thought of how good Warin fought in the game.

Alterwind

where they go on an adventure together. Even though it's a "game," it's a virtual game that requires the same exertion as actually fighting. Even an evil dragon or monster that is so vicious that it could destroy the world. They have conquered it.

[If it really existed, Khun Nam would have pressed it down to make it feel good. Haha. Besides, how am I going to be able to keep up with Khun Nam?]

[I don't know. If Mr. Wit doesn't come, the water will…]

The terrifying omission of dots and dots. It might be forced to take a brutal exercise course like a Spartan warrior. He didn't want to have to face it again. He hurriedly typed a reply.

[I'll look at the table for a moment... I can move it.]

[yay]

Followed by happy stickers and kisses on the cheek.

[See you later]

It's been three days now. Living here isn't much of a problem. Good thing I'm a hunter. Enough to hunt small animals around here to make a living.

…but we will go home How can I go back to Fairy Tail? To leave this forest Humans will probably only be afraid of us. I see that besides the players (game players

Alterwind)

There are no other humans who know of our species.

... Let's find a way.

Kanu thought as he hid on a large tree branch. You can see the stream flowing down from the waterfall. In case there are animals that come down to drink water to hunt. But today I got food. There probably isn't any need to hunt any more. He looked at the surrounding area. Find a way to escape. After all, this place is a forest. There may be large, fierce animals. Even though the Tiger people are strong But you shouldn't be careless.

He heard the footsteps of three humans approaching. Kanu didn't move. Try to move as little as possible.

The humans here are smaller than we've seen before. Children?

Three children came to play in the water. They speak in the language that the players speak. Kanu listens and understands. About organizing a forest running competition These kids don't understand what's fun about it. Will you be tired?

Let's try going out and talking. In case there are any clues?

The white-furred tigers slowly draped the poem. Walking slowly towards the children, he raised both his hands to show that he came in peace. One of the children had noticed him.

“Sa sa Suea Saming! Run quickly!”

“Wait!” he cried, but with a voice box unlike any human. This makes it impossible for the Tiger people to imitate human voices. It turned into the sound of a tiger roaring. It echoed throughout the forest.

Whoa!

And the rumors about Tiger Saming started from that day.

The night before the trail running race day at the resort.

Wittaya lay back on the bed. I really wanted to work but was forbidden from bringing my computer. So he could only play on the phone. On the screen there is a picture of a beautiful cat. His brother took a photo and sent it to me. The young man glanced at the clock in the left corner of the screen. It said 9:00 p.m.

When will Khun Nam return? But we're workaholics. I'm crazy myself too.

The freelance translator thought so because Warin had to go to a briefing meeting with a sportswear sponsor. Make an appointment with the photographer and consult about various postures to be used in running

“It's a free running event and free accommodation. There must be some exchanges. The water won't last long.” Warin used both hands to hold his cheeks to console him.

Not long, but it's already been two hours.

He turned to his flashy running shirt and took out the bib (

Bib :

running number) attached to the shirt Check your clothing and equipment again, as this time it's a trail run. Therefore, you must have a headlamp because you are running in the forest in the early morning. The light was still too little to see. As for Warin's equipment, The sponsor has already prepared it. And in the morning she still had to leave early to get dressed and put on makeup.

Knowing this, it's better to work in the room.

Suddenly the room door opened. Warin sat down on the bed.

“Oh, I'm so tired. We argued for a long time about the color of our shoes.” Then she turned to Wittaya. Make your eyes sparkle “Khun Wit!”

“What?” he was startled.

"Do you remember the story of Suea Saming? This water is Suea Saming! Meow!” The woman crouched like a cat before leaping into the arms of Wittaya. Pretending to take off his shirt She lifted up the hem of his white t-shirt. Revealing an abdomen that has begun to have faint muscles. from forced exercise

“Khun Nam, wait! I haven't showered yet!”

“It's okay, Meow!” The tiger continued to advance without stopping. Lifting the hem of his shirt up to his chest, he sprinkled kisses all over. Witthaya couldn't stand it and took off his shirt. “Seeing this, I am a man too.” The young man turned and stood on top. Use your right hand to caress her cheek. then leaned his head down

His lips were close to hers. Warin's face was red. Her mouth fell open.

…but then the young man stopped midway. His eyes looked towards the window.

"Is there something wrong?" Wittaya didn't answer, so Warin followed his gaze. And what she saw made her stunned as well.

"tiger…"

It's not just an ordinary tiger. But it is a white tiger in a half-human body. He stood at the window. The mouth opened wide and let out a roar.

“Holy shit!”

The sound was probably tens of meters away, but other people were hanging out in the conference room. And there are no other residents in this building zone of the resort. This is because the running organizer has chartered a resort for convenience and privacy. So no one heard the sound.

Warin slowly reached out his hand. go to phone I intend to call for help. But Wittaya held her hand in protest.

“He called my name.”

“What? Or…” Mr. Wit is the only person in the game who can communicate with monsters. But this is not in the game. Why is he still listening?

“Yes, he is a Fairy Tail resident.”

“Who are you? How did you get here?” Knowing who the other party was Witthaya gradually relieved his fear and excitement. he asked in a normal tone. The tiger's roar sounded again. Warin, who just moments ago was afraid of the evil tiger Now I'm beginning to fear that other people I'll stop socializing and then come back and meet up. So we can only hope that the two of them will finish talking soon.

After a while, the young freelancer turned to Warin and told him briefly. that Kanu entered the portal by accident

“But the portal probably doesn't exist anymore.”

“I wonder too. I'll try contacting Velma.” He immediately picked up the phone. "Hello Miss Velma, I'm Witthaya. We met some Fairy Tail people here."

Exclamations of excitement came from the phone. After that, there was a speech from the former chief game programmer.

Alterwind “

I'm sorry, we just came back to try out the portal at Fairy Tail for the first time a few days ago. The coordinates may be wrong. Because the destination coordinates at Fairy Tail where we tested were uninhabited. We will be happy to send Mr. Kanu back at no charge. But opening the portal again will take another few days. You must leave him with you first.

Then I will pick you up in Bangkok.”

“Leave it to me!?” The two of them stared at Kanu. Of course, having a friend stay with you for a few days wouldn't be a problem. But where will they hide their friends who are “Siaming Tigers”? I would not be able to continue living in the forest because I would have to take him back to Bangkok with me.

There were loud footsteps and chatter approaching. The others must have returned.

Witthaya and Warin looked at each other and turned away. But the girl suddenly remembered.

“Let's make him a runner's "game". Might also be able to solve the rumors about the Tigers. Let Mr. Kanu enter the room first. I'll take him to explain to the others.” The young woman hurriedly made herself look presentable enough to go out and talk. As for Witthaya, he quickly picked up a shirt and put it on. “Khun Wit first covered him with a blanket.

Go out like this or everyone will panic.” The young man did as he did.

The three of them came out into the corridor. There are other team members. Really walked in Warin hurried over to talk to them. The moment when I take off the blanket Everyone looked startled but then calmed down when they remembered the woman's explanation from a moment ago that the tiger in front of them was “Experimental robots” at the company

Light Rabbit

The funder for the trail running event sent it as a surprise. and to promote the game

Alterwind

which has returned to service again The woman had to explain this way because the matter of the portal was still a secret of the company.

“Ah… Oh, very realistic. But why do you have to secretly bring it into the forest for so many days that there are strange rumors about it? I'm afraid that people will cancel their applications to run,” said one of the staff.

Early morning on the day of the running event, before starting out.

The registered runners gathered at the starting point to wait for their start time. Not too far apart, there was a stage with male and female presenters leading different activities. Before it's time to actually run It is mostly a warm-up and tells the history of the event. and mention the various sponsors of the event when it is mentioned

Light Rabbit

Warin and Kanu then went up on stage and introduced themselves. Before Warin announced, “The

Light Rabbit

Official sponsor of this event The prize money has been increased for everyone who crosses the finish line before Kanu. Ten thousand baht per person! There is no limit on the number! Whoever has strong legs, put it to the best of your ability!”

Kanu has a gaping face, but no one can tell.

Witthaya thought, actually, ten thousand baht, he wanted it too. But at this level there would be no hope. A young man reached into his pocket and took out a free cookie from a plastic bag and ate it to boost his energy.

“And now it's almost time to start. Runners are invited to come to the starting point. We will count down together. The tiger puppet will be released five minutes after starting. Please escape to your fullest potential. Good luck to everyone!”

The start signal sounded. The runners sped off into the dim light of five o'clock. “Experimental robot” starts to feel fun He roared loudly. before galloping and chasing after a large herd of prey that had already taken off in advance.

Three days later

“I'm really sorry. Once we had a deal on energy with the dark dragon, We experimented with empty space. I didn't think there would be a problem with the wrong coordinates,” said Velma. They were sitting at an outdoor cafe in Bangkok. Kanu sat majestically because everyone thought he was a robot. This Tiger was dissatisfied with having to travel to another planet by accident.

But he gets compensation and fun from running. which he thought would be on par with the competition for the title of clan leader. Witthaya and Warin also came to deliver Kanu to the place. They introduced Thai and international food for the people of Fairy Tail to try.

“Delicious,” he laughed, but those who couldn't hear him could still hear it as a roar. When he saw the people around him panicking Kanu made a face. that no one can see except Wittaya before he walked into the car with Velma to travel home. Varin had instructed Velma to be as accurate as possible about the warp coordinates. Because if the warp is wrong

Will have the opportunity to appear in dangerous places such as volcanic craters. or under the deep sea Velma promised to do her best. And in the past several days, the system has been adjusted until it should be usable. Warin and Wittaya stood and watched the taxi slowly drive away. The two waved to their friends from overseas who didn't know when they would have the chance to meet again.
