Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 23

A Sudden Developnt in the Forest

Asagi?

Mm? Ah, good morning, Daniela.

Uh, goodmorning

What happened? She seed kind of absent-minded this morning. At least she seed to have drunk her soup.

I throw the deer onto the ground. I had already drained it of blood and dug out all of its guts, but I still had to skin and dismber it. It was a doe given the lack of antlers. A large animal, sothing that would make a worthy al.

Um, Asagi

Yeah?

It was just as I pulled had out and twirled my short sword, ready to cut into the at, that Daniela called . I looked back and saw that she was standing behind and looking very uncomfortable. It was rare to see her so timid looking

About yesterday, I was wrong! It was a misunderstanding!

She quickly bowed her head. That was all it took for to understand. She was talking about what happened last night. Ah, I see now. So she figured it out. But it didnt change the fact that I had created the reason for it.

Im the one who should be sorry. I didnt know you dressed like that when you sleep.

I do not!

She points a finger straight at . It was like she ant to refute so important argunt.

That was the work of the ale I took from the kitchens to help sleep! It beca hot while I slept and so the clothes ca off. I hereby declare that I do not normally sleep in that manner!

Oh, ohh

While slightly red, she fired off very pa.s.sionately. I see. So that was why. It made sense.

If thats the case, then I guess theres no reason for to sleep up in the tree anymore.

Yesterday, I had already realized it when you had gone to collect the vines. But your skills with ropemaking were so captivating that I lost my timing to bring it up.

Yes, yes. My vine-rope making skills are second to none. There was nothing you could do once soone was under my spell.

Anyway, it seed that we could at least return to a more lighthearted relations.h.i. p. I guess there was no real need for the deer then. Not that we wouldnt eat it. It looked delicious.

I hunted this deer here to make ands for angering you. But I guess it wasnt needed. Lets eat it together.

Aye, its a good one.

She smiled happily. Being able to see that was enough for .

We went even deeper into the forest that day. We would set up camp and go out hunting the forest wolves. Once we had them, their fangs would co out. Rinse and repeat. The bodies would evaporate if left alone. This was apparently due to the magical energy being degraded by the air. But any materials carved off before then would remain. I didnt understand how it worked. Such things could be left to the scholars. I just wanted to hunt.

The venison we had for dinner was exceptional. The at was juicier than wolf but not too soft and just felt plain good to eat. It was still too much for us to eat alone, so we smoked the rest and decided to bring it back to the Spring Wind inn as a gift.

Hunting went well the following day as well. We found ourselves moving deeper again into the forest, becoming hunters.

But there was one thing that I noticed. The numbers of forest wolves were decreasing. Perhaps we had killed too many of them. There were very clearly less than the first and second days now. I worried that they were going extinct, but according to Daniela, this was not a problem. She said that monsters were just naturally born in nature. In places that had a high concentration of magic, or a normal wolf would suddenly transform. Hearing that was a great relief.

Asagi, you worry too much.

Do I? Well, its better than not worrying at all.

I suppose so.

There was dried at, vegetables and yesterdays venison boiling in the pot in front of us. We would eat this, sleep and return to the town, first thing in the morning. The three days had gone by so quickly, but I ama.s.sed quite a bit of experience points and as far as knowledge went, Daniela had taught a lot as well. I took out my status card.
