Nine Stories: Trench Fire

Eventually, a plate-like moon rose in the sky.

It was swept away by an almost stagnant cloud, which sends the moonlight down to the ground sparingly, rising the forest at night as midday.

It's like a full moon in winter, a cloaked light. It was as if the season was different from the sweat spray (f) daylight.

Sabitoga, who kept her back in the tread memorial tree of explorer Hungryn Old, was crushing snakes and larvae meat under such moonlight.

Using a small wooden bowl (Kobachi) and a rind removed from the luggage bag, crush, round and dough the carcass of a small creature.

Match this with a string (string) made from the skin of a bunna tree to create a trap for small animals. A trick in which a string (string) is caught around the neck of a prey trying to take a dough placed on a strand (also) of a branch, called a neck hanging (one) trap or a suicide trap.

Sabitoga rounds the dough with a cat in the palm of his hand. … In front of it, Straw took the fat (bladder) shiitake bear meat from a smoke resistant roof made of raw wood branches.

Straw, who even prepared iron grilled skewers (gushi) around him, eats away the heavy looking bear meat in his breath, and blushes his mouth like "Ah, ha chi".

To Sabitoga, who silently kept even snake and larvae dough, Stolo brought the meat of the eater closer together.

"No, um, hey. It won't work. The meat wasabi (...) is concentrated, and it tastes amazing."

……

"That dough, do you eat it? Is that your bang mesh? That's boring."

"Shut up."

In Sabitoga, which wraps the rounded dough with buna leaves, Straw puts another bite, two bites, and the bear meat on his cheeks (cheeks) and knees. "Good, once good," he repeats, that face is like a squirrel with a cheek bag (a bubble) pampered.

"I knew you had to eat a good mon to be human. If you were eating all those monkeys, you wouldn't be nutritious on your head and your mind would be upset," Unh. "

"You're full of heart."

"If you want, I'll split you up, okay? I still have plenty of money."

Hehe, and a straw shaking a hemp bag filled with bear meat and salt. It's a lot of attitude towards the person who put the bear away. I just cut off the meat with scissors, but I'm doing well when I do.

The two had used the mountains and the pile of fallen leaves to create an impromptu trench (zanjo), in which the fire was set ablaze. Build up the dug leaves to create natural walls (hedges) and seal the lights of the incineration by putting them inside on the aisle, so that they are not discovered from the outside. Further digging back the decaying soil on the other side of the crack on the ground and making it sloping set a trap for the enemy attacking from across the crack to fall.

There's only a few directions to be wary of. Yeah, it should be much safer than just sleeping on the flat. The leaves around you also teach you how to approach your enemies.

Sabitoga stood up with the meat dumplings in her hand and turned her back on Straw. To his opponent, who walks out with both a spear and a luggage bag, Straw releases his voice warmly with the bear meat in his mouth.

"What, are you mad at me? Wait, wait, wait! I'll split it up, so don't go! We met because of you. That's not true!

"I'm just going to set a hanging trap. Don't be peppy, like a parting woman."

At the same time that Straw gets a relieved look, he says, "Ah! Ah! Feeling bad." He comes fingering Sabitoga with bear meat.

"I don't like that even if (...)! What? I've dated a woman before because I'm a little facetious, is that always the side of shaking? Aren't you embarrassed by the beauty? Goddamn it, it's a mess! This is why the second one!!

"... I don't have any connection with pornography. However, the director of the orphanage I used to be was a terrible woman. I've seen your hand talk all the time."

Straw erased his expression for a moment. To Sabitoga walking down the fallen leaf aisle, he opened for a moment and then said in a tone that made him feel good about why.

"You're not talking stinky in front of a kid. Shit, you educators in your country."

What is it, Dean?

Sabitoga looked back slightly at the narrative, but did not return any more words. After a few seconds, he turns around the corner of the fallen leaf aisle and exits into the realm of the moonlight, which is unreachable to the burning lights.

As always, it's a quiet night when you can't hear a single bug. There is so much noise of distant branches swinging from time to time that the area is quiet back around.

Setting a hanging trap was a good point as far away from where the Sabitogas would sleep as possible. A beast passage without human signs, nothing. It's setting it up there that traps work.

Sabitoga, who went up the slope of the fallen leaves and out of the trench (Zanjo), made sure that there was nothing moving around him, then lowered his posture and proceeded to tree stand at night.
