Isekai Ryouridou
Episode 5 Star Dance (Top)
Tia was secretly breathing in the cold rainy forest.
Rain dulls all senses. Tia sharpened her eyes, ears and nose so she wouldn't miss her prey.
After a while, signs of disturbance are approaching.
The wolves of the Valb have hunted down their prey.
Tia held her breath and grabbed the handle of the sword back inside her periphery.
Eventually, a huge shadow appeared after breaking through the gloomy bushes.
Gibba is a fierce beast with sharp teeth and horns that produces black brown beast hair on a round body.
Arrows were first fired from the periphery and bushes everywhere.
Some of them stood on Gibba's body, but the momentum of the rush remained unchanged. This gibbon was so enormous that the arrow could not reach the critical point. Gibba has the toughest fur and muscles in this morga.
Then it's time for Tiers.
Tier read the direction of the gibber and moved from the periphery to the periphery so that it could go forward.
Meanwhile, the first hunter jumped at the gibba as early as possible.
That's Tia's family, Writa.
The writer jumped off the tip and grabbed the gibbon's back.
I tried to pull out the Berze sword, but when the gibbon swayed the giant body, it was swinging off its back.
Tier also reroutes Gibba because she missed her course.
Then the second hunter jumped out of the tip. It's Tia's sister, Megli.
But it was a miscalculation, and Megli landed on the ground dressed to scratch Gibba's ass.
Gibba tries to jump into the bushes.
From there, it brought warmth and a huge sickle neck.
The chief of the Madarama, The Belze.
The guinea pig also appeared to have been pulled out and turned the tip of his nose in a different direction.
Tia throws herself from her periphery as her leg progresses about three steps.
Tia stuck to Gibba's back.
Gibba gets angry and calms down the roar. At the same time, she shook the giant body with great momentum, but Tia managed to catch it with only her right arm and both feet.
Become our flesh and blood, Gibba the son of Morga.
With a prayer of gratitude in her heart, Tia shook her left arm sideways.
Holding Berze's sword in his opposite hand, he shook it under Gibba's throat.
Gibba groaned in anguish, lost sight of her destination and plunged into the trunk of the tree.
Tier pulls out his sword and jumps faster than his nose collides with the trunk of the tree.
Gibba, who collided with the tree, lay still and stopped moving.
Red blood spreads to the wet ground. Tier's sword should have correctly severed the blood vessels connecting the heart to the throat.
"I did it! Tia took down Gibba again!
And Kasha, my youngest sister, came down from the tip of my head. Kasha was supposed to shoot arrows.
Tia rushes to change her sword and holds it with her free left arm.
"Watch out, Kasha. It's not something that jumps at someone who's pulling out a sword."
Hehehn! If you were a Tier, you wouldn't have accidentally slashed Casha, would you?
"Tia is incapacitated on her right shoulder, so changing her sword is a hassle.... thank you all very much."
The hunters of Namkal, who were hunting with them, the Whites of Valb, who drove Gibba here, and the Berze of Madarama, who happened to pass by.
Among them, Writa, who looked dissatisfied, came forward.
"Hmm. Tia took him down again? This is the second time today."
"Hmm! Tier is the best hunter in Namkal, so take it for granted!
Kasha, still hugging Tia's body, said so. Even though Tia and I have only one fist and her back length has not changed, Kasha can hardly get rid of her child's face.
And other hunters are impressed by Tia's work. Writer was the only one exposing the top of the Buddha.
"The power of the limbs is better than the power of the big writer. How was Tier able to scratch the lighter when it was swinging and dropped?
"This guinea pig stopped in surprise at the appearance of The Berze. I think the momentum has been reduced."
"But is it a coincidence that Berze was there?
"Hmm. Tia felt the signs of Berserze, so she thought Gibba would turn around and waited."
When Tia answered like that, Rita dropped her shoulders.
"I wonder how you perceived the signs of Belze in that noise... what kind of ear are you listening to?"
"Tia has these ears."
Tia scratches her hair in her left hand and her father laughs instead of the writer.
"It's really big. No one can beat Tier 1 in guinea pig hunting anymore.... well, it looks like Gibba's blood is almost gone. Are you ready to take it home?"
At that time, the bush behind the Belze rang.
A group of rain-wet hunters show up. These are the Razma hunters who were working at a nearby hunting ground.
"Oh, if you think it's noisy, it's still you guys.... hmm. I guess I took out another pretty good gibberish."
And Ludja, the eldest brother of the chief of Razma, cried out thus. Rasma hunters are responsible for all three mutts, not gibberish.
Are you Mundt? Thanks to the passage of "Berze", I was able to get rid of Gibba. "
"Ah, that's a sacrifice. I'm sure Belze wants to get along with you soon."
While spilling her white teeth, Ruja touched the scale of a black serpent.
Berze stares down at Tiers with his black eyes shining cold. Namkal's hunter has not yet been able to connect with Madarama.
"I was on my way home. How about you? Still hunting?
"No... it's getting a lot darker, so I guess the night is near. I'm already hunting two guinea pigs, so I'm going to cut them up."
Well, let's go home together.
Tier wasn't different, but Writa looked unhappy again. Writa still hates this Ruja.
Megli and Kasha, for example, look at Luja in a very complicated way. For the Namkal people, this Ruja was a benefactor and a troublemaker.
(Tia was allowed to live as a hunter thanks to this Ruja.... so if he didn't want Tier 1 to be his son-in-law, he wouldn't have been troubled.)
Thinking like that, Tia decides to begin her return journey.
◇
The new houses of Namkal and Razma were built at the bottom of a water-dried canyon.
On the left and right side of the canyon are rocky cliffs. There were several caves on this cliff, so we made it a temporary shelter.
More than a month has passed since Namkal and Razma moved here.
This is not the mountain of Morga. It is a forest at the foot of the mountain.
By the council of chiefs, the red people decided to expand the hunting grounds to the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Until now the red people were against each other, a family of Valb as friends, and a family of Madarama as friends. Both Valb and Madarama were to live as friends in order to change the course.
What is needed for this is first and foremost food. If the Red People, Valb and Madarama stop preying on each other, the number of people will increase rapidly. If you keep hunting, you may end up hunting down Payfey, Lyonnaise and Nacha. We had no choice but to expand the hunting grounds to avoid such a situation.
Namkal and Razma migrated in a forest spread to the east of Mount Morga.
Shautalta and the other clans should have moved to the northern forest.
The forests on the east and north sides of Mount Morga are considered sanctuaries in the outside world - the red people stepped into them, believing in the words of the outside guest Gemdo.
But of course, there's no way you can make such a decision easily. The chiefs first gained the will of the great gods through the consecration of the flames, and then took a long time to prepare for emigration.
Are the forests on the north and east really outside human territory? And is there enough grace to starve on the spot? Can young children and old people live safely? Which time was spent a month checking those things out.
As a result, the families of Namkal and Razma moved to the land.
The northern forest was inhabited by Shautarta and Madarama hunters, and only these four families were able to migrate. First of all, the four families decided with themselves whether this new life was the right one.
"In any clan, the number of families would be about 100. Whether these 400 people get a healthy life in the woods... let's try it first."
Raal, the chief of Shautalta's clan, declared so at the meeting of the chiefs.
There are about twenty families left in the mountains of Morga. If there seemed to be a shortage of harvest there, more families had been arranged to move to the forest.
However, we still don't know if this is the right thing to do.
The period set as the first trial was one year. If this is found to be the wrong thing to do within this time frame, you will be back to your original life immediately.
Therefore, the hunter's clothes, made of Valb's fur and Madarama's scales, were still stored without being thrown away.
He now wears hunter's clothes made of Gibba and Lyonnaise fur. The same is true of those who stayed in the mountains of Morga, as it is no different from the agreement not to prey on Valb or Madarama. Since there are no gibbers there, I think they use the fur of Nokinami Lyonne.
What kind of ruling will be made in a year?
The Red People, who were forbidden all magic, could not see it - but Tia was at least as happy and fulfilled as ever.
◇
"Actually, I think Tier's power is enormous."
It was Luja who said that at dinner.
On the wooden skewer held in his hand is the gibberish meat grilled by Tia.
"Are there any other hunters who can kill two gibbers a day? And a giant gibber like that! Besides, I've succeeded until I bled out, so I'm overwhelmed by the impression."
"... it was Tier who stabbed her to death, but it would be the work of all the hunters and the harvest. You don't have to praise Tiers all the time."
Nobody complains, so Tia complains herself.
But Luja shook her head.
"The most troublesome part of guinea pig hunting is the role of stabbing. Gibba is the toughest body in Morga anyway. Instead of your head, your torso will be broken if you make one mistake. Everyone already knows how hard it is to target an emergency on the back of a raging gibbon."
"Hmm, and if you don't cut off the muscles of blood properly, the meat will smell even worse."
It was Writa's father who returned the words in this way.
"I've tried to kill some guinea pigs before, but I couldn't cut off the blood muscles.... how do the hunters around the woods take down the gibba?
Hearing the name in Hisasa's ear, Tia had a rough heart.
While secretly breathing, Tia answers "I don't know."
"However, since the hunters around the forest use steel weapons, I don't think they will break the sword even if they slash the gibbon's torso."
"I see. Besides, with such a big body, I might be able to sever the bones of a gibbon."
It was the little writer who snorted.
"Using impure steel will make it easier to hunt guinea pigs. I wonder if people who depend on such things can earn pride as hunters."
Reflexively, Tia tried to complain.
But sooner than that, Luja makes a sarcastic voice.
"So Rita can hunt the Gibba without the power of Valb or Madarama?
"What? Namkal hunters have not yet done their hunting work with madaramas."
"If so, just Valve. Can you hunt guinea pigs without Valb's power?
Writa glared sharply at Luja's face.
"What is Razma's eldest brother saying? Valb can run faster than Gibba, so he plays a big role in hunting Gibba."
"So hunters around the woods who don't have a friend named Valb are harder than us.
Writa murmured and Ruja repeated her words.
"There is a beast called a wolf-like dog near the forest. I hear that the dog beast plays a major role in the gibber hunt."
Well then...
"But I hear that the dog beast has a small body and it is difficult to climb a tree inclined diagonally. When they encounter a hungry guinea pig, they are more dangerous than humans. When there is no escape, do hunters near the forest even climb trees carrying dog beasts?
It was a question for Tier, so I nodded "hmm."
"That's what Ey-Fa said. It seems especially dangerous when surrounded by multiple gibbers."
"Hmm. At least not a beast as powerful as Valb's wolf. Moreover, it seems that the hunter near the forest has only recently acquired a dog beast."
Luja repeated her words.
"Until then, the hunters around the woods were hunting gibbers on their own. In the years since I moved to the woods, the number of people has dropped to half.... that there is no pride in the hunters around the forest who have survived all this hardship?
No, Rita...
"Besides, we're looking at the hunters in the woods. They didn't seem to have the pride and power of a fine hunter."
And Joa the chief of the mother of Lujah cried out.
"Luja, there is no need to repeat so many words. I thought you just said that Namkal's Writer doesn't want to rely on steel."
"Hmm? I heard the word 'pride', so I thought Luja should state her thoughts."
"We don't have to get rid of human pride in the outside world. You shouldn't have had such a conversation with your countrymen."
So Horua bowed his head to Hamra, the chief of Tia's mother.
"I am sorry that Luja, the son of Horua, has disturbed the dinner venue every night."
"No, people as young as Rujah and Writa can be bloodthirsty. I wish I could bump into words without hiding my heart and deepen the bond."
Hamra replied with a calm voice.
There are about fifty red people here. The other half is Namkal and the other half is Razma. Namkal and Razma were set to have dinner in half the number of people in every house so that they could bond correctly.
And on the same spot, several Valves and Madaramas looked at each other. It had to be determined in the past year whether it was possible to bond Valb and Madarama with the red people.
"I think the moon has finally moved here... but for now, there seems to be no big problem."
Hamra spelled words like that.
"The grace of the forest is abundant, and the number of Gibba and Mundt is perfect. Even during the rainy season, we have so much to harvest that we don't suffer from hunger."
"Mm-hmm. And the meat of the gibbon is so delicious."
Horua also had a solemn appearance and responded accordingly.
"I heard from my father and mother who returned my soul that the meat of the guinea pig was not so stinky and edible... I don't know, it was so delicious."
"Mm-hmm. Sometimes I miss Payfe's meat, but it's better than Lyonnaise or Nacha. Of course, if we succeed in draining the blood."
The technique was learned from the hunters around the forest. Gazran-Lutim and the others taught us to go home as a necessary knowledge if we were to hunt gibbers in the woods.
For now, only the meat that succeeded in draining blood is able to fill the belly. Meat that fails to drain blood will feed Valb and Madarama. Valb and Madarama didn't hate the smell.
Mundt's meat was stronger than Lyonne's, and there was an unpleasant smell even when he bled out, so it was also considered a food for Valves and Madaramas. Moreover, since Mundt's fur was thin and quickly torn, Valb and Madarama ate the whole fur.
"The problem is that I don't know the name of the fruit or the vanilla at all."
A little joking, Hamra said.
"None of the graces I first got in the woods were named. It's going to be a lot of trouble to name all of this."
"Sure. Well, such a story may be in a year's time. If you take the trouble to name it and return to the mountain soon, it will be a waste of effort."
Then Luja, who had been quiet for a while, made a statement.
"You will not abandon your life in the forest. Does Mother Horua complain about living in the woods?
"For now, there's no big problem," Hamra said. It will be our role to determine whether there will be any problems ahead. "
"Hmm, it's a precaution," Luja shrugged.
Afterwards, the venue is not disturbed, and all meals are contained in the stomach. After enjoying a little conversation, Razma's family sat up.
"Looks like it's stopping raining now. I'm going back to Razma's house in the meantime. Sleep well with the Namkal clan."
The Namkal family dropped off the Razma family after returning the greeting, "Sleep well." Naturally, Madarama's clan also leaves the cave with Razma. The same greetings will be exchanged in the other caves, and more than twenty families will be back soon.
In the mountains, only families close to blood made a place to sleep, but here we have more than 50 blood families in each of the four caves. This is because only a few caves were found suitable for sleeping. Four Namkal families spent time together in Tier's sleeping cave.
"It's still cold on rainy season nights! We need to hunt more gibbers and make more rugs!
Along with Kasha, who talked like that, Tia set the bed.
Then the dark-faced writer approached.
"What's wrong? The men's beds are that way, right?
"Hmm.... Tia, can I have a moment?
Tia was invited to the edge of a cave where no one was sleeping.
Writa starts talking in a small voice to cover her ears.
"... did Writa piss Tier off?
"Hmm? What are you talking about?
"Earlier, we were talking about the hunter near the forest. Writa said she wasn't proud of herself... so Tia got mad, didn't she?
Writa looked very sorry.
"On the way, I noticed. I wonder why Rasma's eldest brother kept saying things like that to soothe Tia's anger... why does Writa not turn her head like him?"
"Hmm. Tia certainly didn't like it at first. I didn't know why Rita said bad things about the hunters in the woods."
"Writa didn't want to say bad things about the hunters around the woods. I just hated steel weapons."
With a quiet look, Writa said so.
"The steel weapon hurt Tier a lot. When I thought about it, I even hated people who used steel weapons. The hunter near the forest had a splendid heart and pride, and Writa saw it with her own eyes....."
"Hmm. Steel weapons are unclean, because they defile the sanctuary people's souls? I don't think people in the outside world can blame steel weapons because they're right to use them."
Tia made her answer that way.
"The people of the outside world built a civilization of steel and stone to protect the earth," said guest Gemdo. If the word is true, I think the people of the sanctuary must not hate the people of the outside world. I wonder if the people of the outside world have protected the earth even after losing their power as the Son of the Great God. "
"Hmm...."
"I'm sure any weapon depends on the person who uses it. The man who hurt Tier had a bad heart, so he made a mistake with a steel weapon. If you're a hunter near the woods, I don't think you can do any harm with steel weapons."
"I know. But Writa couldn't forgive the man who hurt Tia."
"Still Tia was allowed to work as a hunter. That's why you don't have to hate people who hurt Tia anymore."
That's what Tia laughed at Writa.
"If Writa thinks the hunters around the woods are good people, I'd be happy. That's why you don't have to look so dark."
"... are you really not angry?
"Tia won't laugh if she's angry."
And finally, Writa smiled too.
"I'm glad Tia forgave Writa's mistreatment.... but after all, Rita doesn't like Razma's eldest brother."
"That's another story. I don't think Tia is good at Luja... either."
"Really?" Writa turned to her face.
Tia blushes her face.
"Tia won't have a wedding till the next year. Tia only wants to think about living as a hunter until then. That's why I'm a little uncomfortable with Luja, who brings up the wedding story.... if Writa was going to bring that up, she wouldn't like Writa either."
"La, apart from Writa, I didn't mean to..."
And Rita made her red-coated face even more red.
This part is not good for Tiers.
"Tia wants to sleep before she gets sick of Writa. Writer, get a healthy sleep."
So Tia decided to return to her sisters.
By the bed, the White was lying down. Seeing them, Tia's heart quickly cleared.
(I was allowed to live as a hunter and be with my family and friends. Tia is very happy)
However, it is not allowed to face someone who is as important as family or friends.
(Does Asta or Eye Fa sleep happily?)
With such thoughts in her chest, Tia decides to dive into the fur.
