Inside his small wooden house, located on the village outskirts, Almond looked at himself in his full-length mirror.
He stood at roughly 5'7 inches tall, had short brown hair, and a face that many would describe as pretty, rather than handsome.
His build was lean with muscle, but definitely lacking in bulk
What stood out most to him though, was his long, thick, fluffy tail protruding out of his tailbone.
He found that he could hardly control it. It curled upwards, and beneath the fur, he could feel a bone that resembled a spine.
From the top of his head were two small squirrel ears, as well as his human ears on the side of his face. This granted him enhanced hearing, which was one of the passive traits of a squirrel hybrid.
"So I'm really a squirrel huh... I wonder what the other hybrids look like."
After spending some more time examining his appearance and status, a knock came at the door.
"Coming."
Almond put his brown robe back on and made his way over to the door.
Once opened, a short squirrel woman stood there. She was also dressed in brown robes, hers were tied at the waist, highlighting the curves of a woman.
Almond first glanced down at the curtain of the robes, which gave him sight of the smooth, silky skin of her medium-sized breasts. They were also cut up the outside of the legs, giving a generous view of her thick, yet muscular thighs.
Modesty clearly wasn't so important to the Squirrels.
"Disciple Almond?" The woman's soft voice came.
Almond finally looked up at the young lady's face. Her eyes were large and blue, and her hair was golden, held in a high bun using a stick. Her cheeks were puffy and cute, and her eyes angled downwards slightly.
"Sorry, I'm still distracted by the beauty of squirrel women." He said without thought, instantly regretting his words.
The woman's cheeks blushed red, but she clasped her hands together excitedly.
"So it's true then, that you come from another world!?" She cheered.
Almond was surprised that the word had spread so quickly.
However, if it gets such a reaction from cute women, then I'm not bothered at all.
Almond smiled humbly and bowed his head.
"I should have introduced myself." He said, extending his hand to the woman to take. "I am Almond Brown."
The woman didn't hesitate to take Almond's hand. "Blink. My name is Blink."
Almond savoured the soft touch of the woman and planted a kiss on the back of her delicate palm.
Blink felt a tingle travel up her arm.
Squirrel men are never this charming. You can tell that he truly comes from another world! She thought to herself in disbelief.
She wanted to spend more time with the man. To question him about what his original world was like, but she also had orders to bring him to the great hall to prepare for the raid.
...
Surely it can wait for just a few minutes...
Almond noticed the woman wrestling with her thoughts. It was clear that she was interested in him, but her duties were stopping her from acting on them.
So instead, he took initiative.
"Care to come inside for an acorn tea?" He suggested, gesturing to the inside of his home. "It will help calm us down before the raid."
"Sure!" Blink responded. If Almond insisted, then she wouldn't turn the opportunity down.
---
Almond poured a cupful of tea out for the blonde beauty as she sat on the soft mats on his floor.
As he poured, he couldn't stop himself from glancing down at the woman's milky cleavage.
Maybe Clan Mother was right. I am a pervert.
But was there any shame in that? Who could resist when presented with such beauties?
"So, Blink. Are you married?"
Blink raised a brow. "Marriage? The squirrels don't believe in marriage. Wow, you really are from another world!"
The squirrels don't believe in marriage? Ah, that makes sense, squirrels are non monogamous creatures.
That won't work. Only I'm allowed to have multiple partners!
"But," Blink continued nervously. "When we find someone powerful enough to lead us in all areas of life, we are happy to stay loyal to them, and only them."
Was she hinting at Almond? He apparently had much more potential than the other squirrel hybrids.
"Ahem..." Blink cleared her throat and hid her nerves. "So, what else don't you know about the squirrels. I can be your teacher." She said with a wink.
"Well," Almond pointed at her tail that curled behind her. "I know nothing about the function of these tails."
In an instant, Blink rose to her feet and dusted off her robes. She then turned around to show Almond that each robe had a hole designed for the tail.
But then, she began to disrobe. First revealing the smooth flesh of her back. He watched the way her slender, yet muscular back arched until it reached the tail.
Once there, she removed the tail from her robe, and pulled it down further, revealing just the top of the curve of her buttocks.
Almond felt himself becoming flustered, but hid it. He was going to question why she felt the need to disrobe, but he advised against it.
After all, by no means did he want her to stop.
"The tail is unimportant for most of us." She said, wagging it back and forth. "However, some of us, such as Clan Mother and Master Acorn can use their tail in combat, as though it were a weapon."
Almond swallowed, trying his best to focus. "Umm, sure."
After displaying her beautiful body, Blink put her robes back on and pulled them back up her shoulders.
Then, she looked out of the window towards the sky, where the beating sun had begun to set.
"I would have let you touch my tail, but we can save that for another time. We really should get going." Blink said, heading towards the exit.
Almond cursed to himself at the wasted opportunity. However, he also noted something to himself.
Being a reincarnator not only granted him strength, but also prestige.
With this, could he create a harem to aid him in bringing the squirrel clan to glory?
Brushing off the thought for now, he rose to his feet and followed Blink to the door, watching the way her hips swayed with every step.
"I'm right behind you."
