Episode 6
Perhaps because he was so hungry, he ate all the fish that Carl had caught, like a crab hiding his eyes. To be honest, I was surprised too. The size is quite large and the number of animals is quite large, but they eat all of them!! Could it be that I am gaining weight? Of course, it doesn’t matter anyway… In a forest like this, it was right to eat first and store energy.
“Eh~ I’ll leave something to eat tomorrow…”
Of course, I thought I could grab it again or ask Carl… But I thought it would have been better to leave it for the energy to move.
“Huh? The palm…? Are you better?”
His palm, which had been rubbed earlier, had healed. After that, it seemed to give me some strength. Could it be because of the fish I just ate? Somehow I felt that way.
“Oh no way~ No… In case you don’t know, it might be a body that stores energy when you eat it… There are ogres and everything is big, so there can be such a unique body, right?”
I really wished it was like that. Or it was because I didn’t think I would last a few days in a forest like this. No matter how much the knife helped me, it was clear that if I did not stand up on my own, I would surely fall into a crisis situation at some point and die soon without the help of the knife.
“I’ll have to test it… But I can’t hurt my hand again… And there’s nothing to eat, right?”
First of all, it was important to find out the physical ability as much as possible. You don’t know how long you’ll last in this forest, but shouldn’t you be aware of your own body?
“It’s late today… Tomorrow. Okay, I’ll find out tomorrow.”
And the harpoon had to be remade, and there was a lot of work to be done. I thought I should make it today and go back to the lakeside to catch some fish tomorrow. Of course, if there were any berries nearby, they were going to pick them up too.
“It would be nice to catch something like a small animal… Should I set up a trap after all?”
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted. I had to prepare one by one… But I couldn’t help but feel impatient. It was because it was clear that other than ogres, other creatures that would threaten me would be everywhere in this forest. Carnivorous plants that were able to escape with the help of a knife… The crisis was overflowing, but it seemed that the confidence to protect the body was gradually diminishing.
“Okay. For a while, I’m relying on Carl. Carl is trying to help me too, right? Would it be okay to receive that much help…?”
Carl’s ulterior motive was evident in my body. Maybe you want to mate. But I didn’t want to do that to the beast Carl. In the end, I had to get out of the knife’s protection as quickly as possible. You are helping me now, but you never know when it will change.
“I’m a little sorry… But I can’t help it. That knife…A huge thing… Uhhhhh!”
To be honest, if I think about that dangling knife thing… I absolutely refused to mate. It was clear that on the day he was beaten, he would be ruined as it was. I felt kind of pitiful about myself thinking this way… But after I turned into a woman, I started thinking about it a lot.
“Now cover the entrance… Okay. It’s done. Nobody knows now, right?”
I didn’t know that there might be animals that would threaten me. So it was essential to block the entrance to the rock crevice with bushes and branches. As I closed the entrance, I was greeted with a cozy space of my own.
“Haa~ It was a really hard day. Let’s go to sleep today and tomorrow… Let’s pick fish and berries.”
As a result of falling alone in the forest, the most important thing was food. There is no choice but to not starve to death! First of all, I thought I would have to decide on stocks from a long-term perspective and then buy clothes again. It was because I couldn’t cover myself with leaves like this forever. Home is enough here, so there is nothing to say.
“Haa~ I’m full… I’m falling asleep. Ha-am~ This place will be safe…? I’m sure the sword is guarding the outside…”
Carl watching over me. It was a bit pitiful to have to rely on such a knife… That’s because I won’t stay the weak forever. First of all, I thought I would have to find something to eat tomorrow and figure out how to protect myself.
“Ugh… No. Ah~ that!! Aww~!! If everyone dies~ Kyaaaaa!!”
So many fragments of memories floating in my head… I suddenly remembered that someone died and someone ran away. Perhaps this was like a memory experienced by the owner of this body. It seemed that it was seen as a dream after falling asleep in a stable space and organizing it to some extent.
“Haha..Hak.. What..What was it? Ugh Head…”
It was stuffy. Outside, it was already bright in the morning, and after passing through the blocked entrance, sunlight shone somewhat into the cave. As I stared blankly at the sunlight for a while, it seemed that my throbbing head was sorted out. The name of this body… Seemed to be Mia’s nickname. It seemed that I should use this name from now on. Well, it was definitely a cute name, so it didn’t matter. It’s the old name, because it doesn’t suit this body.
“It’s better now. Ha ha I thought I was going to die I got the name though. Mia… La. I’ll have to tell Carl later.”
Somehow, the beast, Carl, came to mind first. After all, there is no one to tell me the name of other than Carl, isn’t it? That said, I couldn’t tell the name of the ogre I saw on the lakeside… It seemed like I was relying too much on the sword. I felt like I had to get used to the forest little by little starting today.
