Episode 30

I’ve been looking for it for days and days… But I still couldn’t find the knife. Those times without a knife were really… So lonely and afraid. Time was passing by so much that the time I spent with Carl really felt like a memory.

“Haa… Carl… Where the hell are you? Black… Please… Come back. I… I’m lonely.”

Did you really… Get eaten by that ogre? To be honest, there are places I haven’t been to yet. Of course, the cave where the ogre lives on the other side of the lake. I haven’t been able to find it yet. So maybe there’s still hope…

“But it’s scary… Black.”

It was really scary. To this day, the ogre’s gigantic size still frightened me. If I get caught this time, I’m sure… I’m sure I’ll be eaten or I’ll become a slave to satisfy my desires. No, it was definitely so.

“But… I have to check.”

I prayed that Carl was safe. That’s how I slowly and carefully looked at the ogre’s east. The time to visit the lake and the time to go hunting… Of course, it was very difficult and painful. I couldn’t get close, so I just climbed a tree and observed the ogre from a distance.

“Ugh~ It’s cold… But if I want to go home safely…”

Without a knife, he seemed to be getting more and more cautious. I should have done that even when I had a knife… Now it was like a belated regret. That’s how I was able to figure out the time the ogre went hunting and dropped by the lake. Of course, it was pretty erratic… But I could still figure out that it was going somewhere for quite some time once a week.

“Good. I’m going to go check it out now.”

I was afraid… But I thought I would be able to return safely after checking this far. After waiting for some time, I took advantage of the disappearance of the ogre and headed to the cave where the ogre lives. Maybe the ogre might come back, so I was careful again.

“Ah… The sword…?”

However, there were no knives either near the cave or inside the cave. No, traces of the knife were left outside the cave.

“Bloodstains… Connected…”

It was. It faded a lot after a while… But the bloodstains continued deeper into the forest.

“S.. Alive! It’s a fatal wound… But I’m sure he’s still alive!!”

It really was. It was clear that the traces of blood were fatal, but… Still, looking at the traces leading deep into the forest, the knife must have been alive. I was very fortunate. If you’re still alive, maybe we’ll see each other someday.

“Haa~ I’m glad. But why… Did you not return to the hiding place…”

It was a bit savage. I wondered if Carl’s affection for me was that much. But he was happy nonetheless. I was really, really happy to see that Carl was alive. I was thinking about the knife like this. My heart was filled with surprise.

“Carl… I’ll scold you if I see you again. You worry about me like this… Ugh~ wait and see!!”

Of course, I also thought about going to look for it. But now it was a crowd. Even so, it was too much for me to go looking for a knife in the middle of winter. I had to train a little more, widen my mana hole, and wait until spring came. It was because it would have been perfect to freeze to death while looking for it right now.

“Good. Now that I know that the sword is still alive… I need to train it a bit more so that it can kill an ogre in one shot… It’s impossible, but… Anyway, I need to train it enough to run away from the ogre!”

It was. I wanted to quickly erase the memories that had survived so pathetically. A little more, I thought I would have to train a little more. It seemed that he could avoid being frozen in front of an ogre and unable to do anything. If only I could train a little more…

“Can you do it well…? Even without a knife…”

I felt a little depressed. Thinking about the sword, I returned to the hideout. And ready for winter again. In just a few more months, it seemed that winter would pass. In the meantime, I had to train as much as possible and finish preparing to go out to find the sword.

“Haa… I’m sleepy because I’m relaxed… Yes, starting tomorrow… Starting tomorrow.”

Knowing that the knife was unharmed seemed to relieve the tension. Well… Have you not been able to sleep well and not eat well? My body just shivered. And even the fear of going to the ogre’s cave… Once the tension was released, my body felt heavy. So I crawled into the hiding place and fell asleep.

“Haam~ uhhh~ I feel refreshed~”

Because I had a good night’s sleep, I felt refreshed both physically and mentally. After stretching, I came up with something to do today. First of all, I had to find something to eat and train my body. It’s because I made a promise to myself to train hard from today. For Carl… And for myself, training was essential.

“Eutcha! Got it! Hoho~ I have a knife like this now… Haa… I don’t have a knife anymore. Ugh, I miss Carl so much…”

I really wanted to see Carl. I missed Carl so much. I also missed Carl’s stuff. For some reason, it seemed that the love for knives gradually turned into love. It seemed that the crush gradually turned into affection, and the affection gradually turned into an obsession.

“Ugh~ I can’t think like this… But I miss Carl so much… I miss him… Heck.”

You shouldn’t cry… Crying came out. I couldn’t seem to get rid of the thought of the knife easily. I even thought of giving Carl my first… But now I don’t have Carl with me to receive my first. I found out that he was safe… But it was so sad that he wasn’t there.
