Isekai Taneuma

Thereafter, they walked around where the bear came from, as the head of the neighboring village told them.

The bear's habitat was unknown, but, as the Hyero 'Dokuz' bear named it, it would dig holes in the cliffs or make naturally occurring caves into nests. Nearby, the river was tortuous, and the eroded cliffs continued all the way. They explored the area, whether it was around or not.

But by the time I got here, I had been eating a lot of roadside grass, and by the time I started, the day had already leaned a lot, so I had no choice but to cut up the exploration quickly.

Forest nights are early, and as the sun goes down, the surroundings quickly turn dark. In the meantime, the feng chose the river as today's campsite, and when they made stones and set fire, they mowed the surrounding weeds to improve the prospects. In this way, the consideration is that you won't have to rush into an unexpected attack.

They brought food, but Feng, who thought it was not enough, fished in the river, caught the fish well, then made a dish in the pot and behaved. Gargantuar thanked him and caught a bird.

The gargantuar was very impressed when he quickly sat down, picked up the rose in an empty pot, simmered the crust together with the oil, and grilled the remaining meat with vanilla.

"Boy, are you good at cooking?

"No, I don't think so... recently, I've had a lot of opportunities, so I guess I'm getting used to it."

Ning, it's more of a prey than a dish... honestly, I didn't think that the day would come when there would be no resistance to ripping off the bird's neck and pulling out its feathers. Gargantuar cheeks up the dishes served.

I see. If we do it in the village, everyone will be happy. Someday please. "

"Fine, but...."

If you don't lose to the bees and get kicked out... while thinking about that, Feng remembered the meal scenery in the village and asked what he was wondering.

"So you don't see a lot of people cooking in the village, do you? When I saw the pig on the first day, we all had a barbecue... but when I think about it, I just bake it, and usually the smoke doesn't come up at dinner."

Speaking for herself, Feng leaned his head towards the strange fact. So what do the villagers usually eat? The point is, they eat raw meat. Raw prey, freshly caught vegetables. I occasionally see them cooking all over the place, but I've never seen them cooking vegetables or cooking handy dishes.

Well, the village doesn't have the concept of a wall, so everything about the neighborhood is out of the box. So with the kitchen, you should be able to see the person who cooks there... even though I lived in that settlement for a few days, I don't remember seeing that person.

What's this all about? You may like raw meat because you're a beast, but if you're watching a gargantuar with a delicious phoenix dish in front of you, it doesn't seem like you're going to eat anything else.

As Gargantuar affirms his doubts, Feng is confused.

"Yes, women in the village don't cook. I don't know how to cook either."

"... werewolves aren't used to cooking?

"That's right. I'll eat it. I don't know how to cook."

I don't feel like I'm meshing around, but I think I eat more raw than cooking anyway. Is it troublesome or clumsy, because unlike humans, you don't have to watch out for parasites and germs...?

Having said that, we tend to forget that we live together, but humans and beasts are literally different races. Not as far away as a human and a chimpanzee, but there is no doubt that there is a considerable difference in the purpose of the DNA.

Feng asked out of curiosity.

Speaking of which, what is Gargantuar's level?

"Why do you ask me that?

Actually, I've been worried since I heard about God from Leonardo. Wesen believe in God differently from humans and gods. So do we see the status screen like ourselves? If so, is the status displayed there the same...

When Feng told him that, he didn't ask if he cared.

"I can see the status too. It's the same as you. You think we don't believe in Emilia, but we believe in Emilia. Luca is more important than that."

"Oh, excuse me. Was it?"

"300 years ago, Emilia helped us. Our tribe has not forgotten its thanks."

When the Demon King came in 300 years ago, it was the heroes and spirits that the Empire summoned to help the beasts who were driven away and fled into the Holy Empire. Indeed, the Gargantuar tribe felt obliged to do so, and since then, generations of chiefs have become adventurers for the Adventurers Guild, helping Leonardo and settling cases in the Great Forest here in Wallacia.

"So, like humans, the Beast also gains experience by defeating demons and beasts, and rises to the next level?

"Yes, it is."

Gargantuar strongly affirmed, but there was a continuation.

"But there's a cap."

"The upper limit...? Do you have a level cap?

"Yes... we hunt a lot when we grow up. So the level keeps rising. But then one day it stops. The level varies from person to person. When I was 38, I couldn't see the next level."

That would be the NEXT EXP you need to get to the next level. The fact that you can't see this means that no matter how many more monsters you defeat and gain experience, your level won't rise.

That sounds like a hell of a handicap to a man with no upper limit… Instead, the Beast rises quickly and almost every individual has a STR of 15 or more. 15 is a top athlete class for a human, so it's never a pessimistic number, and even if there's a level cap, it won't be a particular problem for people in this world because it will be stopped at about 30 levels.

Otherwise, the Wesen have STR, DEX, AGI have cancer, but the VIT, INT, and CHR do not go up at 10. It was a little surprising that the VIT didn't go up, but now that we know that this number is not an absolute value but a correction value, it may not be so strange.

Incidentally, this cap is said to pass on the high level of parents to children, so beasts want to make children at as high a level as possible. Conversely, because the high level of women is directly linked to the strength of the tribe, it seems that villages of the same race are not close to each other, as in Gargantuar and neighboring villages.

"So did my parents. My father is 33 and my mother is 30."

If Mr. Gargantuar is 38, he's up by a margin.

"I don't think so. My brother went up to only 25. My mother was 35."

Even though the conditions are supposed to be better than gargantuar, there are 13 levels open. In other words, there is considerable flutter up and down.

Then it seems good not to think about marrying each other at a high level, but still, where Level 1 marries each other, there will be no Level 30 children, so it seems that we will marry each other at a high level in order to increase the probability of high levels as much as possible.

Gargantuar is the highest-level woman in the village, so that's why they monopolize higher-level women in the village. She has many wives because she is polygamous. It seems that the future of the village depends on the tribes that have not yet opened. It was angry and I didn't like it very much, but I felt a little sympathetic when I thought that the villagers were also forced to live a rather cramped life.

By the way... Feng asked a lot of questions.

"Does Gargantuar still have children?

When I was asked to look after the children of the village, there were no children of the chief among them. It may happen that I didn't check everyone's identity, but it would be pretty prominent if I were here, and I don't think I'd notice....

Gargantuar did not reply to Feng's question and stared at the fire. Feng was anxious to correct his anxiety if he wasn't really blessed with the treasure.

"No, I'm here."

"Eh...? Were you there? Kids"

"Yeah, I'm here."

Who is it? Feng remembered the faces of the village's children, but it did not seem that there was a Gargantuar child among them.

The King of the Beasts silenced himself, and the conversation ended there, because it was not something to be forced to hear. The two waited for the night to dawn as they took turns in the fire that night.

As I was burning firewood with a bite of a yawn, the sky gradually turned white.

It's finally dawn... Feng stood up, stretched out and went to wash his face in the river.

The water on my hot cheeks is cool and feels good. Wash your face with shabu-shabu and rinse your mouth, then pick up the fish you left dry overnight and return to camp. Today, let's take stock and make a piece of juice. Light the pot with water, and since I miss it, I'll pick the wild vegetables appropriately.

Various grasses were growing in the river because tall trees did not grow and the sun was shining. Nazuna, so-called spring grass, and vegetable flowers such as Abrana blossomed all over the place during the season. It has a slightly bitter taste, but it is still quite a treat in this forest. Use ash juice to steadily squeeze, and then put it into your suction.

When I was picking grass with a fufufufu smile as I converted the typeface inside my head,

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..."

At some point, Gargantuar behind her gave Feng a gesture of silence that raised his index finger while blocking his mouth.

Suddenly he was thrilled, and Feng nodded with richness. He let go of his hand, which was blocking Feng's mouth.

"He's over there. From the signs, it could be the bear of interest."

"Eh!?

I didn't notice at all.....

I was surprised to see Gargantuar pointing in the direction, but although the sky was largely white, it was still dark and nothing was visible in the forest. Feng couldn't confirm his appearance, but there's still no way this Beast King could tell a lie. He abandoned the wild vegetables he was picking and hurried back to the camp.

It's really good to have a gargantuar. Remove your favorite rifle from your luggage bag and start loading in a hurry. I had Guillaume maintain it yesterday before I went out, so I'm sure I'm not crazy about aiming. I don't know about the Hollow Point of the Monroe effect, but I also got a bullet for the big shot. The rest is up to you.

"Boy, are you ready to come?

Gargantuar shouted a little nervous. If you can't do it, I'll do it. Feng answered the voice silently by pointing his gun at the forest. Pull the cocking lever to deliver ammunition to the chamber.

I stared at the forest with my eyes closed, but I didn't see the same goal. Perhaps it will not be possible to find it in human eyes unless it comes out of the woods. It was good to mow the weed yesterday before dark. Thanks to this, the direction of the forest has good prospects, and if the prey jumps out, we will be able to intercept it with some leeway.

The distance to the forest is about 150 to 200 meters, and because it is a riverbank, it is very flat and has no vertical shooting angle. I can't hear the river spirals because my ears are completely shutting out the sound. Feng's ears heard only the woods groaning, and as his concentration increased, it gradually grew bigger.

The wind blows and the forest trees shake like grasslands. As he cleared his ears, he noticed that there was a mixture of buhibuhi and some sort of pig squeaking, and he pulled the barrel into his shoulder and peered into the gate.

The next moment, a big black hairball creature popped out of the woods.

Even though there should still be a distance of 200 meters, that giant body that seems crazy about perspective will have a gentle 3 meters. It's coming straight this way, like a truck.

Feng swallowed Goku and saliva. If I had picked the wild vegetables like that, I'd be a Buddha by now. That giant, that speed... I can't escape from that. He pulled the trigger, thanking Gargantuar for letting me know the beast was approaching.

Tahhhhhhhhh!

The gunshots roar. First shot... hit. The shots fired by Feng hit the body of the running bear, and the beast who was directly hit shook his body from side to side as if scared for a moment. Seems like we haven't reached the gut yet to see a hateful figure that we can barely afford. More... I was going to shoot you in the head, but there's still a long way to go, and the bullet must have been pulled by gravity.

The bear roared at the sudden pain and slowed down a little, but soon accelerated again towards both of them. Would it be the impact of the first blow if the movement were not straight and the shake appeared to the left and right? Pull the cocking lever and send the second shot to the chamber.

Tahhhhhhhhh!

Second shot... hit. Thank Guillaume, not God, who doesn't know where he is. Aim doesn't have any dimensional madness. The bullet hit the bear's face and bled. But the bear still didn't slow down. More of a monster than a tough one.

Feng exhaled, and suddenly inhaled the air. Calm down, the distance to the bear is still 100 meters. We'll have at least ten seconds before we get here. On the other hand, these five-piece guns won't take a second to reload as long as they calm down.

In the next shot... Feng made up his mind and pulled the cocking lever.

Tahhhhhhhhh!

Third shot... hit. The distance to the target was approaching 50 meters, and it was no longer difficult to remove it at this distance... The shot flew by a bear in a straight line, and as soon as it hit, something blew out of the back of the head through which the bullet penetrated. The monster lost consciousness completely and leaned to the right... still ran for a few meters before lying on the ground scattering rocks of the river.

"You wanted to do it!?

I can hear Gargantuar's excited voice.

Feng still stuck his rifle to the bear like a remnant of the bow. Perhaps it will move again... vigilantly for a few seconds, killing my breath and staring at the bear... finally, the moment I was convinced of his death, a sweat came out of my body.

When I lowered the gun I was holding, my arms trembled. I didn't feel the weight before, but now the iron cylinder is too heavy to help. He wiped his sweat on his forehead and walked down to the bear with a fluffy step.

I don't suppose you pretended to be dead... and when you snooped into the body, Gargantuar overtook him and stabbed a sharp nail around the neck of the prey with the peace of mind of singing a nose song.

When the nail was pulled out, the bear's body suddenly pulsated and bled out as if it had opened a wine barrel from his neck. Perhaps even the carotid artery was ripped. I see... even in this state, my heart is still moving... and Feng looks at the sight with a daze.

"Let's do it, boy. I've reviewed it."

You can hear the sound of a gunguard. As always, I didn't really understand the beast's expression, but I somehow found him smiling in a good mood.

Feng smiled back at the smile without strength, and approached the body of the bear that was still dead and hot, and observed it at its feet.

The moment you die, did you even leak shit? There is a terrible smell. Blood, the smell of the beast and its bad smell made my nose twitch. In the meantime, Feng found a brand new scar on the bear's right leg and pointed it out.

"Was it a burden? I didn't notice."

Gargantuar confirms it and exclaims that you have noticed it well.

"When I came running, something went wrong, so I thought maybe... where did this happen?"

I don't think this tribe did it because it was enough to ask the guild. So, when you lost the food battle in the mountains, or was it something else...

"You're amazing."

When Feng was examining the bear's body, Gargantuar started saying that behind his back. All of a sudden... Feng humbled himself to say something like that.

"Honestly, when I heard this was my first big hunt, I thought it was impossible. I've been thinking about when to pop out instead of you. But I didn't have to. You stayed calm until the end and didn't miss a single shot. I was aware of the injuries I didn't notice. I was surprised. How can you be so calm?

"Hahaha, why?"

It is a long line for this beast. Apparently, he's really impressed. Feng smiled bitterly and said that it was because there was a watchdog... but he remembered that it would be a flower without saying it, and he only replied vaguely.

Nothing special. As a matter of fact, when Gargantuar was accompanying him, this match was a victory for Feng.

He raised his DEX and realized it would fix the aim of the gun, so he was confident in shooting. But hunting isn't just about shooting. Before they can find their prey and escape or be attacked, they must make a definite pre-emptive attack.

If this is Guillaume, we will be able to approach and surprise the prey before it is noticed. Jeanne has the power to fight back, even if she notices her opponent first. However, Feng didn't have either.

So, I was thinking about how to overcome it during the duel... but I didn't think about it, and the bees told me to keep a watch on the gargantuar, so I didn't have to.

Gargantuar was only a high-level beast with the same ability to search for enemies as Guillaume and would be inferior to Jeanne, but he had enough power to fight monsters with bare hands. I wonder what Feng is worried about because he will accompany me.

If you do, you'll be disqualified, so Gargantuar won't help Feng. But in fact, the problem is, someone is about to be killed right in front of me, and there's no such thing as a heartless person who can help himself and watch it in silence.

As soon as Feng was slowly picking grass, Gargantuar noticed that the enemy was approaching and didn't even ask for it. And while Feng was holding his rifle and targeting the bear, he was sitting next to him and measuring when he jumped out.

What are the worrying elements of this situation? It's like a guided hunting tour, for example. The rest is a matter of courage, but it would be better for someone who can't get set up and run away with a tail wrap from the beginning.

Anyway, this is Feng's victory... I don't think the bees will be able to hunt any more prey, and I wonder how we're going to get this huge prey to the village.

"It's impossible to carry so many big things at once. I guess we'll just have to dismantle it here and take it back in pieces...."

"I don't need it"

However, on Feng's proposal, the Beast King immediately shook his head. So, what do we do? As he approached the bear's body, he lifted his leg slightly and dragged it into the river.

It's as if there's a wheel underneath it, but the bear's weight is not less than 300 kilometers... no, if it's bad, it could be more than 500 kilometers. Compared to the size of the salad bread we've seen in the past, this looks bigger than that.

With a stunning phoenix in his ass, the Beast King washed away the bear's blood in the middle of the river and began to wash its contents with joy.

Correction. That's not easy for a guard dog to live with. An armored car, for example.

Feng stunned and stepped into the still cold river to help the Beast King dismantle the bear. The sun has only just begun to rise, and we will be able to return to the village in ten minutes by evening. What would the villagers look like if they brought home this big?

It's a yakiniku party tonight! They continued to work silently as they chewed off the smile that was rising naturally.
