Today’s picture is Threads of Fate by
And a few years later…….
First, I'll work here so let me stay for a while. Second, I want to go to a town later so please share some water and food when that time comes. Third, tell me the way to the town.
I was disturbed by Colette-chan's pressure, but I spent a few days relaxing while helping with housework. Cooking using the stove without any fermented seasonings gave me a huge handicap but I'd been helping my mom cook since elementary school and by middle school, it was mostly up to me so I have a life full of experience and was able to make something appropriate. The result was very popular, the wife Elnel-san groaned, Gununu.
In contrast, chopping firewood was terrible. No, is chopping firewood housework? Isn’t that part the father’s work?
Oh, Eline-san and Colette-chan is in charge of the housework and part of that is the preparation of firewood, is that so?
The ax is heavy. The hatchet is difficult to use. It misses when I swing down. After the ax bites into the firewood, the ax attach to the firewood is too heavy to raise to raise and slam back down. When doing that the skin of my palms peels off, muscles, shortness of breath, waist….. Immediately, I got tagged out. Why does it breaks after a few plonks, Colette-chan…….
The next day, I went to look for wild vegetables with Colette-chan. Going into the forest carrying a basket on my back. Oh, only me is carrying it. Because there is no way we'll find two baskets worth, I will carry it to make it easy for the main force Collett-chan to move. Yep, that is very logical.
… What, “rarely comes out” also means “sometimes comes out” is that so?
Putting the basket down gently and we return to the direction where we came quietly. The basket will probably be recovered at a later date after the danger leaves. Will the villagers hunt the beasts or will they keep children from approaching the forest until they are gone? It's impossible to do business, mou. I wonder if the basket of wild vegetables collected with great pains will become useless by that time. It probably wouldn't become a good dry product.
(tn note: I can translate mou to jeez but I don't for the kawaii, also in case you forgot she thinks she's in a third world country so gathering is a business)
Well, life is important more than a few wild vegetables. Should we slowly and quietly run away, wait, the wind, earlier it was blowing. We had the bad luck of facing the wind, wait, isn't this bad! I don't think even if the incredible super girl Colette-chan would notice a beast before it notices her. Aren't we already founded? Then I can only hope that the other side is full and not going to hunt right now, following another prey, maybe a vegetarian… No, slim chance. Then why don't they attack already? Think, think, roar my trivia computer!
One, slowly surrounds to completely detain. Is that necessary when the opponent's a child’s with slow feet?
Three, a practice stage to teach children how to hunt. There is no worry of escape because of their slow feet, no worry that their children will get unexpectedly injured by a counterattack, the ideal prey. That’s so, it’s ideal isn't it, a human girl. It is a secret that a girl that can't be call a “child” is mixed in.
Buy some time? How long will it take for someone to look for two children who hasn't come back by night? Searching the woods on a dark night? Parents aside, the villagers probably wouldn't take on such danger. Besides they wouldn't make it in time.
When I looked back, I saw a glimpse of something moving through the gaps in the trees. Multiple. One wolf-like thing and a few which are considerably smaller. As expected? Can that type climb a tree? It seems unlikely to climb If there are no branches in low positions.
Colette is desperately reaching out to Mitsuha, but Mitsuha smiles and shakes her head.
Maybe the beast thought that they had given up, they revealed themselves and slowly came up. Like I saw earlier, one looks like an adult and three seems like children. Because they are wolf-like, is it fine to call them “wolves” and “wolves cubs”? I picked up a tree branch at my feet and flung it at the wolves to draw attention to myself. Of course doesn't hit them, but the intention to attack was transmitted, a growl is raised and Mitsuha glares. All right, with this I ranked up from “helpless prey” to “resistant prey”. To attract enemies get their hatred. As much as possible, as far as possible!
Leaving the desperately screaming Colette, she ran away with all her might.
Mitsuha’s stamina also runs out fast too because there are many things she doesn't do
Mitsuha stepped on her feet out of fatigue and had a great fall, crashing into a nearby large tree.
The wolf exposing its fangs comes near and jumps
Mitsuha cried out with a loud voice at the end.
"Onicha~aaaaa~a~a~a~~~n~~n!!"
And Mitsuha’s disappears, the wolf rolling in pain after bashing into the big tree finally got back up and stands with a astonished look.
(tn: You know, I'm surprised imoutosite didn't pick this up)
