51 – Honey(1)

One day, more than a month and a half after the heat wave lasted, Chester and Monia were feeling that the days were getting better recently.

It was hotter than before, but not as hot as before.

As the day progressed little by little, Chester and Monia’s outdoor activities were naturally increasing.

The sand on the beach was still too hot, so it was difficult to work there, but walking around the forest along the cool river was no problem.

The flow of the river created the flow of air, and the flow of air with the coolness of the river cooled the heat.

So, today Chester and Monia decided to walk around the other side of the river.

The creatures that come out just by crossing a river are very different.

As if it were a garden that someone deliberately created that way.

Of course, since it is on the other side of the river that is close to each other, creatures similar to the opposite side can be seen sparsely, but overall they are very different.

And it gets even worse with a little distance from the river.

I didn’t look closely the other day because I was moving so fast to find Susie, but today I took the time to look at the animals.

“Shall we set a trap here too?”

Monia said while looking at the rabbit grazing in the distance.

“Oh, Rabbit.”

Chester, who had been looking the other way, turned his head at Monia’s signal, and as soon as he saw the rabbit, he placed a stone on the catapult.

So far, the catapult was more reliable than the bow, so naturally the catapult went first before the bow.

I lightly turned the catapult and threw it, and the stone flew quickly and hit the rabbit.

– !

The rabbit makes a sharp sound and rolls over once, then falls down.

Chester went up to the rabbit and took the dead rabbit meat, and Monia saw the cute rabbit up close and covered her mouth with her hand.

“… … Does the rabbit taste good?”

And asked Chester:

Hearing Monia’s words, Chester laughed and started walking again, and the two continued their search across the river.

* * *

The purpose of the two people wandering across the river is threefold.

One literally explores. Just to know the topography, plants, and creatures on the other side of the river.

There might be an unknown danger, so it was essential to explore it in order to know it in advance and prepare for it.

The second is resin replenishment.

I made all the waterways, but I need resin to finish things more firmly.

It would have been nice if there was a tree with resin coming out near the house, but unfortunately it hasn’t been found yet, so I had no choice but to look for it across the river.

The third is finding grain for farming.

Plants and creatures are very different, so it was from the thought that grains not near their homes might be on the other side of the river.

As long as you find the grain, the number of dishes you can make will increase, so the pleasure of eating will increase.

Chester was the youngest to eat just about anything, but that didn’t mean he didn’t take any pleasure in the meal.

A good meal is good.

Just having a delicious meal gives you energy for the day, and the pleasure of eating reduces stress and makes you more motivated to work.

Since the basics of living, such as waterways and mud-baking, were stable, Chester decided to start improving his eating habits in earnest.

Therefore, of course, the biggest purpose of this search was to find grain.

Monia was also full of motivation when she heard that she was looking for grain.

“I’m also looking for cheese butter!”

“Yes, I hope I can find it.”

Eager to find cheese butter, Monia picked a lot of candy berries and salted them, as she said before.

Salted candy berries are quietly waiting for completion in a corner of the warehouse.

“Wait, it’s a snake.”

Monia, who was walking briskly, stopped at Chester’s words.

Looking in the direction Chester pointed, I saw a snake lingering quietly in the darkness of the bush.

“Hick.”

When Monia freaked out and backed away, Chester carefully supported Monia’s body and said.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Yes Yes? Me, me?”

“yes.”

Chester’s words kept Monia’s mouth shut.

They caught a pig, but Monia was more afraid of snakes than pigs.

I couldn’t shake my fear and loathing at that repulsive, demonic appearance, so unlike any other creature.

“It’s fine. you can do it.”

“… … .”

After hesitating for a moment at Chester’s words, Monia closed her eyes and then took out her club from the basket.

The appearance of Monia’s stick was a little different.

The overall slender shape still had sharp stones embedded in it, but I smoothed it out by rubbing it on a stone plate and wrapped a string around the handle.

The string-wrapped handle made it easier and more comfortable to wield because it fit more tightly around the hand than before.

“Whoa… .”

After catching her breath, Monia remembered what Chester had done to catch the snake.

First of all, Chester never leaned forward.

Rather, he pushed his stick forward with his hips pulled back to the point of looking like a coward.

The most important thing when hunting is to minimize the risk of injury.

As a hunter, don’t pay attention to it, but pay attention to your body’s safety above all else.

Monia was told by Chester to put safety first and body first no matter what.

Body, health, is the best and greatest resource in this wild.

Once health is destroyed, the body collapses helplessly and death comes quickly.

“Ha, I will!”

“yes.”

Monia leaned back and aimed the snake at the snake.

What you’re aiming for is the head.

It’s okay if you don’t aim properly.

A hit near the head is enough to confuse the snake.

Confronting the snake like that, Monia carefully lifted the finished water bottle with her other hand.

‘Chester always held the head when subduing the snake.’

But he didn’t have the courage to hold his head with his hands. So it was meant to be suppressed with a bucket of water.

It would have been better to hold it down first with a longer stick, but… The image of Chester hunting was so strong that I didn’t even think about it.

‘I want you to pay more attention to safety.’

Seeing Monia twitching her hips as if she were about to attack a snake, Chester pulled out a stick to help in case of danger.

Not knowing what he might need, Chester’s basket contained several items each other than a water bottle and a bow.

Sticks, long bamboo, and a set of tools for making a fire.

I was confident of how to deal with it with the things I could get around if there was a problem, but it was good to be prepared for the eventuality as much as possible.

“Haap!”

Then, Monia swung her club and hit the snake.

The beaten snake twisted in pain, and Monia, seeing it, swung her club once again.

puck! puck! puck!

No matter how many times she swung her club, Monia suddenly threw herself and tried to press the snake’s head with a bucket of water.

“oh!”

but fail.

The water bucket pressed against the snake’s body, not its head, and the snake saw Monia lying nearby and tried to bite it.

“Let’s be careful not to be impatient.”

Chester said while stopping the snake’s head with a stick.

“… … yes.”

Monia nodded, looking at the snake’s head crushed right next to her face.

After removing Monia first, Chester grabbed the snake’s head and twisted it hard.

After killing the snake by crushing its head and body, the snake’s carcass is placed in a basket.

“You did well though.”

“Yes?”

“They didn’t rush at me right away and kept hitting me with a stick. Thanks to you, the snake didn’t rush at you right away, right?”

“ah… .”

“But it wasn’t good to blow the body. Is it hard to move right away when you fall? Then it becomes dangerous.”

“… … Chester has been caught like this before.”

When Monia said that, Chester laughed at what was wrong.

“I was confident to catch it.”

“Oh, yes, yes, yes.”

At those words, Monia blew air into her cheeks.

“huh.”

“what’s the matter?”

“Excitement.”

Chester smiled bitterly at Monia’s pout and patted her on the back as she was still on the ground.

“You don’t have to worry about it because it will get better and better in the future.”

“Keugh!”

Jordi threw down face and rolled on the ground to live.

An enemy soldier’s spear passes over such Jordi.

“hahahaha! Isn’t the prince okay too?!”

Excited to see the noble prince dodging his spear and rolling on the ground, the soldier continued to throw his spear at Jordi.

“Hee! aaa!”

Jordi stomped on the ground, crawling like a dog, somehow avoiding the spear.

I wanted to get up and run away, but the soldiers around me did not give me a chance to do so.

Everyone laughs and makes fun of Jordi and keeps throwing spears.

Finally, just before a spear stabbed Jordi, a knight approached and saved Jordi by slashing at the soldiers.

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

The tactical instructor did not pursue the fleeing soldier, but approached Jordi and asked indifferently.

“Damn it, why did they come all the way here?”

“There are armies everywhere that run amok with the excitement of war.”

With the help of the tactical instructor, Jordy kicked the dead soldier’s body while clicking his tongue.

“this! damn it! eat! Bastards!!”

“Majesty.”

“know! Know! These filthy insurgents! Are you okay?!”

“Majesty.”

Only then did the tactical instructor speak in a lower voice, and Jordi stopped kicking the corpse.

“The fact that you came means that everything has been taken care of, right?”

“Yes, Your Highness. We lost quite a bit of power in the surprise attack, but we handled it without a problem.”

“No problem?! I was attacked! Because it was also divided from the main unit!”

“Your Highness, there was no problem even if Your Highness didn’t stay away to do drugs.”

“Tsk!”

yes.

Originally, Jordi, who should have been thoroughly protected, was surrounded and made fun of by the enemy.

It was because Jordi was away from the army and secretly drugged and the raid took place.

“But my arm hurts, so I can’t help it. If you don’t do that, the pain won’t go away.”

At first, it was Jordi who turned to drugs to forget the pain in his operated arm.

However, gradually the number of times he takes drugs and the amount of drugs he smokes at one time.

was increasing little by little.
