Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

It's finally here.

After a day and a half of the march, there are words like coming home.

No, actually, it feels close to home. Even if it was a gloomy forest spreading out in front of me.

Our Sons of the Army came to camp far away from the city for marching, camping, and forestry activities.

The location is close enough to the village of Noscura to be a home ground for me, who lived hunting under Mr Van.

"Ah, I found wild plants. Let's pick it up a little bit."

Pick up the wonderful wild vegetables that will remove the smell of meat from your eyes as you pass by.

Ash-kun, why don't you do that later?

Sir Georges, the leader of the drawback, gently licked it.

Not so strong, perhaps, because he expects me to immediately discover the wild vegetables that Sir Georges did not notice, and to enrich my camp life's diet.

I don't think I can help the preserved food I've eaten on the road because I've already lost my appetite in the third meal.

Until now, I had been managing the equipment with Sir George's help, so I distributed it to the soldiers who patrolled many times, but I didn't think it tasted so bad.

It wasn't my fault, but I felt guilty unexpectedly.

So I look straight at Sir Georges and speak sincerely to God to pray.

"Sir Georges, with this wild vegetable, we can simmer it with dried meat to make a good soup. If you have any other tree nuts or wild grass that you want, you can make a very delicious soup. With that soup, you can soak and soften this gallic hard-boiled biscuit."

Starting with Arthur and Miss Reina, the face of the Military Sons' Association stubbornly swallowed my words.

Miss Micah is picking wild vegetables instead of me.

"Raising food on the street is a basic lesson for hunters. The farther you go, the more health you lose. Besides, the forest gets dark fast. We don't have time to waste!

My enthusiastic and logical persuasion struck Sir Georges in the chest.

"I see. I'm sure you're right, but I'd like to secure the camp first. Everyone's not as healthy as Ash."

"Hmm... you're right about that."

Certainly, the village growers seem to be fine, but the city growers look tired after a day and a half of marching. Mr Arthur and Miss Reina seem to be in trouble.

"Well, I'll go while I raise the food, so why don't Sir George prepare it at the camp first. I was wondering if it would be more efficient to share the work."

"That said, if you get out of the woods, you'll be in trouble. It's going to be hard to find a camp."

"No, nothing. Forgive me, Sir Georges, but did you not forget that I lived as a hunter in the village of Noscura?

For the second time, this is my home ground.

There are two reasons.

First, as a hunter, the forest is an area of expertise.

And secondly, I have visited many times because the forests around here are within Van's hunting range.

Extremely speaking, I am confident that even if I lose all my portable food and equipment from here, I will return to the village of Noscura alone.

"Besides, I don't know where the camp is, but it's easy to follow your footsteps as you walk there."

It's easier to find wild plants after more than a dozen groups have moved in the woods with few vegetable paths.

I'm proud to have learned how to track wild beasts with Mr. Ban. If you're not familiar with the forest escape technique, you can track it down at night.

As confidently said, Sir Georges could no longer object.

"Hmm, it's hard to disagree inside... Micah, if you're from your hometown, I think you know what Ash's capable of, but what do you say?

Miss Micah was eager to finish picking the wild vegetables she saw, but she squeezed her expression into the questions.

"Ash-kun's acting alone... I don't think you need to worry about anything if you just look at your abilities..."

Miss Micah grunts that she misses coming back even after being caught by a pig.

We are constantly worried about you.

"But I'm worried about being alone. I don't know what's going to happen here, so be quiet."

Well, how about Micah come with us?

"Ha ha, Mr Georges, I don't think it's a problem at all! Ash, you and I will take care of this!

That's what happened.

After breaking up with all the Sons of the Army, I walked through the woods with Miss Mayka and Sakura.

Micah's smile is more enjoyable than usual in the abundant forest air that cannot be enjoyed in the city.

"Fufu, it's been a long time. I can't believe we're walking in the woods together."

"Yeah, it's really fun. I want to take care of this time."

"Yeah! Ah, that's definitely something to eat."

We were used to harvesting each other's forest delicacies every season.

At the same time, I collect branches that are likely to become firewood and vines that can be used as traps.

I plan to stay in this forest for three days, but I don't want to keep biting salty and smelly dried meat all the time. In the name of Mr. Ban, try to make a delicious meal with fresh meat.

For a while, the two of us gather food and other materials while chasing after the Sons of the Army.

Because you are walking violently to dig back into the earth while folding grass and trees, you will know which side you are moving to.

The beast doesn't walk with such a smell.

"Can't I smell the boulder?

"Mayka has never hunted in the woods, and there's no choice. Besides, my five senses seem to be sharp."

Van was praised for his good sense of smell and hearing.

And strangely, after a battle with the werewolf, he became more alert.

If the world had fantasized a little more, I would have thought it would have raised the level by defeating monsters, but it was a public spirituality that I couldn't care less about. Maybe something switched on in his brain when he was dying.

Follow the smell, find the footprints safely, and rendezvous with the faces of the tent.

Even though it is a tent, in this world, where the skeleton is not as convenient as the previous life, it is like passing a string between a tree and a tree and catching a leather cloth there.

Even so, the fact that children camp gives them luxurious camping gear. If you are a soldier on a regular patrol, I hear that it is a jacket that can normally be used as a sleeping bag.

It's not like I shouldn't take a tent, but it seems to be lightweight enough to carry such a load.

I go to tell Sir George that I have joined him, seeing the people who are struggling to set up a tent.

That was faster than I thought.

"I'm pretty used to walking in the woods, of course, Micah."

When the harvest was deposited, Sir Georges' serious face was revealed.

"This is a lot. Can I expect dinner tonight?

"At least we can make something better than today's lunch."

The pan that Ser George's men accompanying you were able to carry will be a great help.

However, since there will not be enough burning trees at all at present, it is necessary to collect dead trees in parallel with the construction of the garden.

If you go to the campsite by car, compared to previous generations who can carry everything you need, camping in this world requires local procurement and local creation capabilities.

Outdoors are not leisure, but survival.

"Are you sure you want to continue collecting burning trees?

"Ash is quick and helpful. Can you take some of them and collect them as much as you can?

Sir Georges' way of calling it was not for the children of the Sons of the Army, but for private parties or subordinates.

In other words, they switched to dealing with Ash, who is a potential lieutenant, rather than Ash, the teacher.

It must have been hard to handle. But I can't stop.

"Roger that. At a minimum, I'd like to collect enough to cook tomorrow's breakfast."

Gather the usual face with Miss Mayka, Arthur, and Raina, who finished setting up the tent.

If you add Hermes and Glenn as masters, it should be enough for now.

Few people come to pick up burning trees around here, so there are definitely good dead trees everywhere. The smoke is incredible when you look at the raw trees, so if you teach me how to distinguish them together, they will gather quickly.

Glenn, who brought an axe to the dead tree, was very helpful. Because of its good physical condition, the dead trees that have become fragile are split into pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-a-pack-and-pack-and-pack-and-pack-a-pack-a-pack-and-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-pack-a-p

I use the same vines to set up traps to catch birds and small animals everywhere, rather than tie them up with vines to make it easier for everyone to carry the dead trees they collect.

The basic principle is that it is easy to set up, make circles with vines, and tighten when your neck or feet get caught.

If you put a branch of a tree or a heavy stone on it, you can make interesting tricks such as tightening it by stepping on it and hanging it from the tree.

I've never used a big trick like hanging on a boulder because it's too laborious.

Arthur, who saw my tricks, looks at the trap as impressed.

That's clever.

"The principle is simple, so if you get used to it, you can make as many as you want."

As Arthur sees it, I create the simplest trap: "If you don't notice that you're caught in a circle and try to keep going, you're stuck."

I'm flirting about whether other people were interested.

"The collection of firewood is going well, so why don't you all make one?

It's just right, so I'm going to ask everyone to cooperate.

Hunting traps can be the hardest part of finding a place for prey to pass. I don't have as much eyesight as Mr Van, so I need to cover it in numbers.

It was Hermes who quickly mastered how to make it, whether it was boulders or not. Glenn quickly got tired of gathering dead trees, but I was impressed how useful it would be to use vines instead of ropes. [M]

Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the number of traps for small animals is sufficient, so I will choose a location for the traps for large beasts.

Wild beasts are good at covert behavior, but they also have the habit of going through a determined route to ensure safety.

Find the route, the so-called Beast Road, and set a trap to avoid suspicion.

This is difficult again.

When I realize that other animals have entered my beast path, many beasts don't get close for a while. Even though it's so difficult, it doesn't get caught in a trap. Sometimes it gets caught in a trap, but it destroys it and flees.

Well, I think it's easier than hunting because trap hunting is only a routine tour and trap construction.

Next, there is a river nearby to ensure drinking and domestic water, so let's make a trap to catch fish. I'm not Miss Mayka, but I remember the first time I was in distress.

When I was doing this, the sunlight that plunged into the forest began to turn vermilion.

"It's about time. I have to go back."

I wanted to set a little more traps, but I couldn't help it. If you don't start feeding quickly, it will soon be dark.

"Well done on making this in such a short time."

Miss Reina will be impressed, but the trap should be evaluated for how much prey it took.

I think it would be better if it were my trap to be rewarded for a tenth of my efforts. If something big like a pig or a deer comes up, tell them that you want them to fully compliment you.

That's when I realized it.

Fish are a little more efficient, so it might have been better to create a fish trap first.

It's summer, so you should be able to pick crabs as well. I failed a little.

Arthur laughs with a stunned look when he tells everyone the fact he noticed.

"Ash is amazing in the woods even though it's still up there. I always thought it was awesome, because I have it on my back."

"Well, it's an appetizing business... if I wanted to eat meat in the village, it was best to eat it in the woods."

It was the biggest source of meat in the world. You're desperate to learn hunter skills.

You also benefited from a good teacher named Ban-san.

The cooking technique at the camp, which was taught by such a master, allowed poor dried meat to be sublimated as the ingredient there for wild grass soup.

I'm tired of dried meat, so I'd like to make it into a fish pan tomorrow.
