I searched the goblin corpses and found a wooden key. It took some time since it was covered in blood like everything else. I walked over to the cage and just as I was about to put the key in, I heard a system alert.

[WARING] [HERO DETECTED]

My eyes got wide. If this world is based on an isekai, then that means the hero is from earth, like me.

"Hey, demi-human!"

"Yes Mr. fox?"

I need you to translate for me.

"Okay, sure."

"Which one of you is the hero?"

The girl shouted the same words and everyone looked shocked.

"You can understand that thing?"

"Yeah, that's Mr. fox, he rescued us!"

They talked among themselves for a while, trying to figure out a solution. One of them came forward. He had blond hair that was cut military style, blue eyes, and was grinning ear to ear. He had a long sword-.... there are words on the sword. ENGLISH WORDS. It said "wish granted: you are now the summoned hero".

"Yeah, I'm the hero. Are you able to understand this wolf?"

I growled.

"I'm a damn fox you imbecile."

The girl relayed what I said.

"Alright, alright, chill!"

What should I do? If I say the wrong thing, I could expose both me and the hero being from another world. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

"America."

The girl relayed what I said and the hero's eyes got wide.

"Hey, are you from America?"

I nodded.

The hero slapped the girl on the back with a smile.

"Good job! You just earned yourself some bread."

That's when I realized it. I switched to English and began to talk.

"You... from your accent, I'm guessing your from Boston?"

"Yeah, sure am."

"Then let me ask... is that girl your slave?"

The both of us went silent, the other adventurers wondering what language we were speaking.

"I don't give a shit if we're in another world or not, just because you're the hero now doesn't mean you owning slaves is okay."

"Oh really? I think you would change your mind if you saw her unique skill."

"What the hell is a unique skill?"

"Whoa, you really haven't been in this world very long, have you? A unique skill is a skill that only one person in the world can have, they born with the skill at max level, and full awareness of how to use it. no one else can have the skill until that person dies, then someone else will be born with the skill."

"Alright, then what's her skill?"

I nasty grin appeared on his face.

"She can create amulets with the ability to give monsters a human form."

"Hmm... your going to sell them, aren't you?"

"Damn right I am! Nobles will pay a crap ton of money for an amulet like this."
