73 – Coming of Age Ceremony (3)

Monia made a long rope, then made a knot in the bamboo at the top of the slope, as Chester had instructed, and tied the rope tightly.

Next, tie the other end of the rope tightly around your waist.

Monia held a stone ax in one hand and held onto the rope with the other and carefully went downstairs.

As Monia descended, the slack rope was pulled tighter and tighter, and at some point the rope pulled tighter and caught Monia on the spot.

‘done.’

After making sure her body was secured by the rope, Monia walked to the side and took a seat in front of a nearby bamboo tree.

Then, holding on to the stone axe firmly, he swung the ax to his heart’s content without worrying about his body slipping.

“Eight!”

How many times have you swung an ax?

Monia grabbed the falling bamboo with her hand and moved it upwards, holding onto the bamboo so that it wouldn’t fall down.

No matter how far forward she had moved, the top of the bamboo collapsed and Monia’s body, which was climbing the slope, fell backwards as well.

“uh?”

Monia, who fell with the bamboo, couldn’t overcome the momentum and slid down the ramp.

“Kyaaa!”

Monia, who slipped and fell, stopped slipping only when the rope tied around her waist tightened.

“Keuk.”

As the rope tightened and was tied tight, Monia held on to the boat for a moment and trembled.

It’s okay to slide because it’s all about being surprised, but with the added weight of my own weight and the momentum of sliding, the tight rope made my stomach hurt.

“Turn it off… .”

Monia somehow grabbed hold of the rope and climbed onto the lift car.

Monia climbed the ramp almost to the end, pulled up the bamboo, passed it over to the flat ground above, loosened the tight rope a little, and went down again.

Each time she knocked down a bamboo, Monia climbed up and put down the bamboo, then came back down and smashed the bamboo again and again.

“Whoa.”

Thanks to that, I used more stamina than usual.

Thanks to the rope, it doesn’t slip, but it wasn’t easy to step on the slope and hit the ax itself.

‘Let’s do one more.’

Monia cut another bamboo and came down.

‘I think I can do one more.’

Thinking so, I shook a bamboo again and went upstairs.

‘one more.’

What stopped Monia from going down again was the sudden dizziness of her vision.

“oh.”

Monia, who collapsed with sudden dizziness, felt the sweat flowing from her body again.

‘… … water.’

I fumbled with my arm, but I couldn’t find the basket I usually carried my water bottle in.

‘right. There is no basket.’

But I brought a water bottle.

Where did you get it?

‘… … River.’

It seems to have been left at the riverside.

‘this. I made a mistake.’

Chester told Monia to keep drinking even if she wasn’t thirsty.

The moment you feel thirsty, a problem has already occurred, and from that moment on, your body condition deteriorates rapidly.

He also advised that in such an environment where you cannot feel the flow of sweat due to high humidity, you should take care of drinking water more carefully.

‘… … .’

Monia saw the sweat running down her body.

It’s sweat that I didn’t even pay attention to normally, but now I saw each sweat that flowed and I had a surprising thought.

‘When did you sweat so much?’

When and why did you drink water?

‘ah.’

Monia drank with Chester whenever he drank.

Naturally, the standard for Monia to drink water was set to Chester.

Without Chester like that, there was nothing to catch as a standard, so I didn’t drink water without thinking and was careless.

no.

‘Even if that’s not the case, I should have brought the water bottle!’

That excuse didn’t work.

This was Monia’s fault for not checking properly because she was in a hurry to make tools and cut bamboo.

“Ugh.”

I wanted to do well without Chester.

Monia gritted her teeth and stood up.

“Turn it off.”

My body was heavy.

When I got up, I suddenly felt dizzy.

Monia, who stopped falling by holding on to the bamboo, took a moment to catch her breath and then looked for a nearby plant.

‘Surely, Chester taught me how to get water when there’s no water.’

Plants contain water.

Finding a plant nearby, Monia cut the stem of the plant with a stone knife, then peeled it off to reveal the pure white flesh.

Then, he put the flesh in his mouth and chewed on it to extract the juice from the plant.

The tough plant fibers got stuck between her teeth, creating an irritating, horrible texture, but Monia closed her eyes and chewed and drank the plant’s oozing juice.

“Ugh!”

The water goes down Monia’s throat with an incredibly bitter taste.

“Two!”

After putting it in her mouth and spitting out the chewed part, Monia immediately put the next plant stem in her mouth and chewed it the same way.

A little bit of water went down my throat, and it felt like my body was energized.

Monia came to her senses only after chewing the stems of all the plants there and drinking water.

“Whoa! Sigh… I think I will live.”

After wiping the plant juice from her mouth, Monia jumped up from her seat and started arranging the bamboo.

‘Without Chester, I don’t know the limits of my body.’

Eat, drink water, replenish stamina.

Chester did it all properly, and Monia just followed suit.

‘It wasn’t just something to follow.’

when to take a break

When to take a break from work and have a light meal.

How often do you drink water.

As she just did it without thinking, Monia’s body collapsed just because Chester was gone.

‘After moving the bamboo, I’ll have to get a bucket of water from the river.’

I think I will have to turn some bamboo into a water bottle and carry it around.

While thinking about that, Monia began to move the cleaned bamboo tightly with a rope on her body.

“profit… … !”

Although bamboo is light, it was not an easy task to collect and drag such an amount into one.

Regardless of the weight of the bamboo, depending on the area of the bamboo, the friction force with the ground increases, making it difficult to drag.

However, once you get on the momentum, it slides easily thanks to the leaves that are piled up on the ground and decaying, making it easy to drag.

Knowing that, Monia did not stop because it was difficult to pull, but rather pulled the bamboo with more strength in her legs.

After dragging the bamboo to some extent, it became much easier to drag, and Monia looked around while dragging the bamboo.

It was a reflexive habit.

At any time, in any situation, be sure to look around and move.

Now that Monia was able to read the tracks to some extent, she continued walking, looking at the trail to see if there were any dangerous animals around.

“It’s home!”

“Come on.”

“I’m back!”

Upon arriving at the house, Monia waved her arms wide and greeted Ant, who was playing around in the yard, and Chester, who was kneading mud on one side.

“I’ll go to the river!”

“uh. … … hey!”

Before Monia goes to the river, Chester throws a bucket of water at her.

“Wow!”

The moment Monia receives the water bottle, the water overflows and drenches her body.

“Drink and go.”

“ah… .”

He seems to have noticed that there is no water bottle anywhere in Monia.

At Chester’s words, Monia flushed her cheeks and lowered her head before emptying the water.

“Puha! Well done!”

After returning the water bottle to Chester, Monia rushed to the river.

“yes. Don’t forget the water.”

“… … ! I won’t forget you anymore!”

As Monia screamed out in embarrassment and ran out, Chester, who saw that, laughed and continued kneading the mud.

* * *

“Ugh. I heard it as soon as I went… .”

I was going to hide my mistake, but it seems that I acted a little hastily by going to the riverside to get the water bottle.

“No, it’s okay. Even Chester told me not to get hung up on mistakes!”

match!

Monia, who slapped her cheeks with both hands, thought of a way to get rid of the mistake of forgetting the water bottle and not make a mistake next time.

‘… … It would be nice to be able to carry the water bottle somewhere other than a basket.’

However, the water bottle that the two of them are using right now looks pretty inefficient.

Just cut a piece of bamboo and use it as a water bottle.

Thanks to that, as was the case when Monia received the bucket thrown by Chester just a moment ago, as usual, the water in the bucket in the basket overflowed and overflowed when the body was slightly shaken.

‘I tied the entrance with leaves and blocked it, but it’s not all blocked.’

Chester didn’t care too much about the cistern after completing the aqueduct.

In addition, I didn’t feel the need to improve because it was usable enough at this level.

Monia knew that too.

Although the leaf cover is insecure, it can be solved by tying the string a little densely and firmly.

Even so, the amount of overflowing water was tolerable.

‘But! Wouldn’t Chester praise me if I modified the water bottle?!’

Like a child who draws hard and shows it to his parents in order to be praised.

‘Whoop whoop. I want to see Chester’s surprised expression!’

Monia clenched her fists and walked to the river.

‘Of course, I’ll have to build everything from the warehouse!’
