89. To Kakara

That's how I went down the mountain, so I put the firewood that I brought back to the calves as originally planned for now.

"Lena, what do we do now? Looks like Louis isn't back either."

"Uh-huh. What am I gonna do?

When I was so worried, I heard a "ghoul" from nearby. Well, there's only Serra nearby, so the sound of this bellyworm would be Serra. When I thought so and looked at Serra, she was blushing in embarrassment.

"... hehe, I'm so hungry"

Serra was grinning in embarrassment. Because of this, I thought I'd eat the hollow bird I just caught thinking about something to eat.

"... Oh, yeah. Want some of the hollow birds you just caught?

"Huh!? Are you sure?"

When I say that, if I think Serra seemed happy, can I really eat it? I've heard it the way it is. It's a prey I hunted because of, and I need to eat it. Besides, it's probably very tasty because of how pleased Serra is.

"Fine. Why don't we just do it in the teapot?

"Yeah."

That's how I appropriately assembled firewood in the shavings.

"Speaking of which, I don't have a fire-breathing stone or anything, but does Lena have one?

"Ah..."

Serra told me that and I hadn't figured out a way to start a fire. Because I usually end up magically......

Do you nevertheless start fire in this village with flint stones? and I was worried about what I would do with that in mind.

"... Could it be that you hadn't thought about it?

"... well"

"Do you still want to go looking for stones?

Uh-huh. Going looking for it now is a pain in the ass...... Well, since there's only Serra, shall we use magic? I'd like you to keep it to yourself for once, but if it's about the magic of the spark, that's why I decided to tell Serra about the magic, even if I can't stop it at its worst.

"... No, you don't have to go. Instead, I want everyone to know what they're going to do."

"Hmm? It's okay, but what do you do?

"Well, look"

That said I created a spark and lit the firewood.
