Episode 11
In that situation, I began to look for opportunities. While the two gorillas got into a fight and the other gorillas around them got caught up in the fight… But it wasn’t easy. I moved my body carefully and headed towards the exit… But as expected, I was quickly caught by the gorillas.
“Kyaa~ Come on.. It tastes like a magazine~!! Ugh!”
The gorilla grabs my legs trying to escape and throws me back into the cave. It was fortunate that they didn’t do anything to me, perhaps because of the fight between the two gorillas. If even those guys tried to do something about me… It would have been a really hopeless situation.
“Ugh. Carl… Help me…”
It was then. Did Carl hear my voice? I heard a leopard barking somewhere. It looked like Carl was struggling with the gorillas outside the cave. Even the gorillas in the cave turned their gaze toward him. It couldn’t have been a really valuable opportunity.
“Knife~!!”
Inside the cave where everyone escaped… He’s probably fighting the sword guy. Really… I felt very grateful to Carl. So I was able to get out of the cave. And what a pitiful sight to see. No matter how great the sword, the number of gorillas was also considerable. Perhaps all of them were male. A fight ensued between Carl and the gorillas over me.
“Knife…! Me so far…!!”
I wanted to help Carl. But with such a fragile little girl’s body, it was impossible. It seemed that only my quick escape would help Carl. Carl also noticed me and urged me to get out of here.
“Thank you so much Carl… You should get out of here safely too!!”
“Kreureung~!! Kuhhhhh~!!”
A knife that cries like that in response to me. Then, he jumped between the gorillas and continued the battle. It was a knife that would gradually injure the body. It was such a grueling fight that I wondered if I was really going to die.
“Okay! If I get out of here in a hurry… The knife will be able to get out too.”
It was. The reason Carl was struggling so much was because of me. In order to draw the gorilla guys’ attention to him even a little bit… So it seemed that he was shedding blood that he shouldn’t have shed. I couldn’t help but feel so much gratitude for such a knife. To that extent for me … For some reason his heart was pounding. It seemed that boundless affection was pouring out of Carl.
“Haha..Hak~ Now.. Uh-uh I think I’m almost out of it. The knife… Must have escaped safely…?”
As a result of his swollen feet, he was able to get out of the cave so much that he could barely hear the gorillas howl. Like that, the girl was able to arrive at my hiding place at some point.
“Ah… I’m glad. But Carl… Heck… You don’t have to do that for me.”
Thank you and sorry. It would be nice if Carl returned safely. I was really very worried. So he went into the hiding place and laid him down.
“Ugh… It hurts…”
Then my body started not listening. It was probably because he was too tired to walk with his body thrown by the gorilla. It seemed like it was because she was still a young girl. I felt like I needed to exercise and train from now on. Because this forest was dangerous for a girl like this to get through with her body. She needed to train her body a little bit.
“Ah!!”
After resting for a bit, she got up again and tried to leave the hiding place… But it hurt so bad there. It must have been damaged by something from the Rido Gorilla that had entered a little.
“Ugh… If there’s a wound here… Infection… Won’t… Haa~”
In a forest where there are no medicines like this, if you get a wound in a place like this… It’s absolutely disappointing. I just hoped that it wouldn’t fade.
“Ugh… It hurts… But I still have to wait for the knife…”
Carl has not been heard from for several hours. I was really very worried. You went to fight for me… I’m just relaxing like this… But I couldn’t even go out looking for a knife like that. Also, getting caught by gorillas or other animals was a problem.
“And I’m scared… Black. I don’t want to… Suffer anymore…”
It was. It was so scary. The pain and despair that the leader gorilla’s stuff stabbed in my place… Made me extremely timid. I had to be brave… But it didn’t work out.
“Uuuuu200b.. The knife… Should be safe. I… I’ll be praying. That’s all I know how to do.”
Tears came out. That’s how I started praying with my hands together for the sword. Please, I hope Carl is safe… Otherwise I’ll be left alone in this very dangerous forest. For the sake of the sword he could rely on… As long as the sword was safe, he was willing to do anything.
“For Carl… I’m willing to give you my first. So please… Come back safely…”
In any case, that was the only useful thing a girl could do in a forest like this. Being eaten or being the target of longing… Rather, it seemed that it would be better to give Carl the first time and be guaranteed safety. As I was praying for a long time, I heard a whimper from somewhere.
“No way..!! Knife!! Is that you, Carl?!”
“Kreureung..Kkiing…Kreung~”
The knife was right. It was because there was nothing but a knife to make such a cry. As I ran out into the woods, I saw Carl staggering toward me. It looked like it was really badly hurt.
“Heukheuk.. Carl~! You were safe!! I’m so glad. I also knew what was going to happen to you, Carl, and I was really worried…”
“Kreung~ Haljjak~”
“Yes. I’m fine. You worried about me…”
It was the knife that worried me again. I felt like I had to work hard even for a knife like that. So I returned to the hideout with Carl. Of course, the knife couldn’t come in… But it was better to have a knife by the side.
“I need to treat the wound first… What should I do…?”
“Kreung~”
“Huh? Bring me something to eat? Why…? Ah! Palm before..!!”
It was. I remembered that my chapped palms had healed after eating the fish. Thinking about that, it was clear that Carl’s wounds would heal if he ate food. But I didn’t have anything to feed Carl.
“Karl… Wait a minute. I will catch a lot of fish!!”
It was dangerous… But that was the only way to repay Carl. The only way to go to the lakeside and catch a lot of fish… So I said to Carl and grabbed a harpoon and headed to the lakeside. It was a knife that groaned and howled as if telling me not to go.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back safely… Please wait for a moment…”
I was a little afraid… But the knife wound was so bad that I had to catch the fish quickly. Not one like before, but a lot of fish to heal the wounds, enough for Carl to at least take care of himself… The question of whether I could catch that many fish was later.
