One month since I became a hunter.

The season is coming to the end of June, and it has become more correct to think that the temperature is hot rather than warm.

I and Kyle's clothes walking along the northern end of the mountain path are sweating slowly.

By the way, Lauren is not here because he is parting and hunting in a different direction.

"Today two boars and rabbits have been hunted and are you going down?"

"Yeah. Lunch has passed and we should do it today ... oh, wait."

I tried to agree with Kyle's proposal, but I felt a prey over my head and held a bow.

Then I felt a sign of my ears and the flow of the wind, and aimed my head overhead and fired an arrow.

I wonder if the arrow was emptied into the blue sky, and a large bird's shadow appeared and pierced as if jumping out of a tree.

The bird, suddenly punched out of the belly from below, crashed into the ground shortly afterwards.

Alright, as expected.

Since he has been treating bows as a hunter recently, he may have improved a little.

"... Why do you fly through birds with arrows?"

While doing a guts pose in my heart, Kyle, who was sighing behind her, makes a stuttering voice.

"You just feel the sign and make a prediction?"

A bird with low alertness can fly in the air, but can shoot down within the range of an arrow.

The high-ranking wise bird-shaped monster comes to kill you with all your might. Of course, he doesn't fly straight. Fly using a variety of flights, such as soaring, swooping, feinting, spinning, turning.

It's easy to shoot down a bird that's even less alert.

"It's hard to feel that first sign. And predict .... Is your opponent flying in the sky?"

"Yeah, so just listen to the wind."

When I answered so sharply, Kyle looked so difficult,

"... I can't do that."

Well, it's because life-saving experience is the best way to detect the sign of the other party.

Even if you train Kyle on a mountain full of monsters, no matter how many lives you can't tell it. I just needed to wear it to live because I was in an environment where I would die if I didn't wear it.

"Yeah, I can only say intuition and experience."

I wonder what that is, but I can only say so.

"Well, good. Let's get the fallen prey."

Kyle sighs and walks towards the prey, and I continue with a smile.

Treat the birds you shot down and tie them up with a rope.

"Oh, it's Pico fruit."

I found red and round grains along the way, so I picked them and put them in hemp sachets.

I really like Pico's fruit, and I am happy to give it to the children in the village, so I always pick it up when I go to the mountains.

He knew that Kyle knew he was going to be a child, and was silently picking Pico.

Aside from picking pico and kuku nuts, I pick the Kirk grass that had been asked by the ladies in the village.

This is a herb that grows on this mountain, and when rubbed and painted, small cuts and abrasions quickly heal.

Demand is high for minor injuries and children's abrasions, so when you enter the mountains you are often asked for food and herbs.

Because they helped them to tailor their clothes and make futons. It is so cheap.

I'm glad to feel connected and help each other to help each other's lives.

Humans can never live alone.

"Oh, it's Kirk grass. Did you ask the village aunts?"

As I pick the Kirk grass, Kyle walks away as she picks the pico nuts.

Perhaps next time we will climb the Elle tree. Loren told me to take it.

"Oh, that's right."

"It's a lot different"

"I do not think so?"

Just pick it as you enter the mountain. Isn't that much effort?

Kyle lightly climbs the Elle tree and looks at my face,

"Aunts who ask every time have a daughter of around age, right?"

"Oh, after all?"

That's right, when you deliver the collected items, you take a break at home and recommend rice.

At first I wondered if I was a newcomer to the village, but I realized I was recommending my single girl to my daughter.

"Skilled hunters are popular. You can count on them in case of an emergency, and it's great to have meat on the table."

Kyle smiles bitterly while taking Elle.

Well, what? I'm happy, but I'm a little nervous even if my daughter is suddenly recommended in front of my parents.

Will I be offered dinner and my daughter again today?

"I don't have to go to hand each time separately. I just need to give it to a small child, brother or brother, or a neighbor in the house of the deliverer. I will spend my time as it is. "

Well, that way you don't have to go home. This village is also surprisingly small, so it is common for her daughter's brother and sister to help with field work.

Just give him the pico fruit.

◆ ◆ ◆

After picking the Kirkgrass and picking the Elle, we went down to the village with our prey.

As we headed from the mountains to the village, the kids who are helping to work in the field today came over there.

While in the middle of work, the adults around her showed a loose expression that they could not help.

"Did you get your prey today?"

"Oh, we got it. Today we have one wild boar, two rabbits and one bird."

"Wow! Meat!"

When Kyle and Kyle show off their prey, the children who come together are delighted.

If you are so pleased with this, you will be happy.

"How did you defeat Kyle?"

A boy curious about his prey asks while pulling Kyle's sleeve.

"... a rabbit."

"I'm a rabbit.

The boy who answers bitterly laughs.

Kyle is quite mature as a child, but it's strange that children often play with it.

"But rabbits are so quick that it's difficult to kill them?"

"... I'm not going to follow a person who shoots a flying bird down."

I was told that she wasn't cute despite following Kyle.

Recently, thanks to his hunting in the mountains together and getting along, he began to say that Kyle was strangely unfriendly.

…… Lauren's feelings about playing with Kyle are clear nowadays.

"Wow! Aldo's older brother, can you shoot down flying birds !? I've used bows, but I don't feel like a bird flying so fast !?"

"Is that amazing?"

The boy who had touched the bow seemed to know, but the girl who had never touched seemed completely invisible. No wonder.

The children watched their prey interestingly and listened to the story of hunting, but gradually began to squirm.

"Do you have the usual guy?"

"Pico fruit!"

"It's there too."

Kyle and me open up a little hemp bag and the kids happily reach out.

Giving me and Kyle to hand over each one, the kids happily carry the pico fruit to their mouths.

"Hey, delicious."

The happy expression is very cute. Children are good.

This is the first thing I noticed after living in this village.

The only children I have known so far are those with strong slums and those with a cheeky aspiring adventurer, so these ordinary kids seem fresh.

I don't hate those who struggle to live, but I didn't like it anymore as if I were looking at my old self.

As I felt sorry, I noticed a girl I knew and called out.

"Ah, colette"

"What?"

"Can you give me this because she was asked by my mother?"

"OK, got it!"

When I handed Kiriku grass, Collet nodded with a smile.

Alright, now I don't have to recommend my sister Colin.

No, you don't hate Colin, right? Because I had never thought of that before coming to this village, I just don't know what to do.

I just couldn't imagine living together in my own house.

"That's Aldo, Kyle, too!"

When the children have finished eating the pico nuts, they run all at once to see if there is still work to do.

Kyle and I waved with a smile while watching it.

"Aldo was very familiar with this village, too."

"... thanks to everyone"
