26-30 Wetland antler stories

"Yeah, that's what..."

When Hannah returned to her room, she gently conveyed the information she had just heard about Sage (Mags).

"That was helpful, Hannah, thank you"

"Yeah!"

Jen thanked me and Hannah was in a good mood.

Elsa will be back there, too.

"Welcome home, Elsa. Thank you for your help."

"Mmm."

Jen works, Elsa answers briefly.

"Kufu, Elsa no longer looks like a nobleman. You're already a fine old lady."

"Sa, Saki sister"

Elsa makes fun of Saki and blushes. But it will be true that it has become commonplace.

Saki is also a blood muscle of the Marquis family, but because it is a negative idea for the nobility, the word to Elsa contained more praise than irony.

"If I had Aal, I'd have asked him to help me instead."

It is Goose's advice that there is no Reiko, Aal, or Edgar on this occasion.

Says, 'People who have never seen automatic dolls (automata), so they have to make a scene'.

So Edgar and Aal are in the automobile.

And Reiko disappeared in "Invisibility" and followed Jen.

"By the way, in the family of this house, just your son's face, you haven't seen it yet, have you?

Son, that would mean the son of the village chief. The point is, Separei's pavilion owner.

You said, "Well, we're going hunting, right?

Looks like Hannah was asking about that.

"You know, there's a lot of" Shiatsu "around here, and sometimes I reveal a field, so I go hunting for it."

Goose, who heard that, began a supplementary explanation.

"'Wetland antlers' are animals living in wetland areas around here, making their turn in the winter and having children by now. If you do, they'll destroy the pre-harvest wheat, so you go exorcise it."

It makes sense for herbivores to have and raise children in the spring.

"You're highly reproductive, and if you let it go, it doubles in three years. Then we'll eat up all the grass we eat."

"So if I hunt you properly, it's just fine"

When Jen got his hands on it, Goose nodded.

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about."

"... but isn't that a little strange?

Saki pinched her mouth.

"Sure, I know there's an upper limit to the amount of grass that feeds, and that species can survive. But this wetland antler, is it? … is it the first time that humans have been hunting and their numbers have stabilized?

After talking that far all at once, it didn't work, but Saki caged her mouth.

Jen perceived the intention and expressed his own opinion.

"I still wonder what that is because humans are out of balance"

Even as far as Jen knew, he had heard news of too many deer in the central mountains of Japan eating up precious alpine plants and pigs in residential districts in Kansai.

Besides, some nihonzaru behave like bystanders in tourist destinations.

"Hmm? Jen don't be funny. I agree with that."

Goose held Jen back in his usual tone. And it explains how it happened.

"There would be a cyclo wetland to the west of here, wouldn't there? It used to be bigger there. It's the size of the landfill."

"Oh, you narrowed the survival zone"

Jen showed understanding in that explanation.

"Yes, but in addition to that, winter also saw the emergence of green fields... wheat fields"

"You're coming for it!

"Jen, it is. By the time we didn't have a wheat field, we were supposed to be moving to the source of the river that was flowing into the Cyclo Wetlands."

"Is there something there?

The source basin would mean mountainous areas, Jen guessed. This means that the elevation is high and the grass and the like are not growing.

"Oh. There's a place where 'hot springs' gush, and there's a place where they don't freeze even in the winter. That's where a lot of animals go overwinter."

Saki gives her opinion on this.

"Doesn't that mean carnivores are coming after that herbivore?

Goose nodded.

"Exactly. But there's nothing like eating up herbivores. Instead, he was making a good mistake."

"Oh there, there's a wetland antler who knows there's food on this side that won't wither even in the winter..."

"That sort of thing. Even in the winter, it stays there without moving. So, come and vandalize the fields from winter to spring"

"So, you go hunting regularly"

Now I know exactly what's going on.

"Can't you fence it?

That's a question from Elsa. Can't we build a fence so wetland antlers can't get in?

"A wetland antler jumps over a two-meter fence. It's not realistic to build more fences."

"I see..."

Even in modern Japan, where Jen was present, measures were taken by putting up electric fences and nets, but they were not very effective or human accidents sometimes occurred.

"That's a tough problem..."

Here Jen remembered The Bell of the Beast, which is used in the village of Kaina.

The point is, it is a bell that produces ultrasound that can only be heard by the beast.

The effect is clearly suspicious.

"Hmm, there are gongs and gens in Kaina Village, and I didn't do your research because I installed Heshen..."

If we could have an exorcism guide, we might be able to make a kind distinction between people and beasts, Jen thought.

So far, the problem is likely to disappear if the habitat division is clear, not because the location of animals, beginning with wetland antlers, has been taken away or anything, but because it means that individuals who mistakenly believe that winter food conditions happen to have improved are harming.

Jen gave it some serious thought, as this can be said elsewhere.

"Goose, do you know what animals hate?

Together, I also asked the opinion of Goose, a musician.

"Smell or... light if it's a nocturnal animal"

"I see."

Jen also remembered hearing on the news that the pig was no longer close after spraying the lion's urine.

Also talk about putting away a CD or a pet bottle with water that you no longer need to avoid cats.

"But it's not practical..."

It was Jen who contemplates.

Jen, are you trying to build something to get rid of the wetland antlers?

Goose asked after seeing how Jen was doing like that.

"It is. It'll save you the trouble of hunting wetland antlers, and it'll eliminate the damage, right?

"I know that, but would the villagers be happy?

"Huh?"

Here's what Goose says.

Meat is not available from farming alone. That's especially gratifying to be able to hunt from snowy winter to spring and nearby.

"Hmmm......"

Jen is an outsider.

Like the village of Kaina, not part of the villagers. Is it a good thing to take care of yourself without knowing the circumstances and background well?

"Okay."

Indeed, it was Jen who renewed his awareness that it would sometimes be okay to make a magic guide just because he wanted to 'make it'.

"Maybe Goose is right. Thanks."

"... you're welcome?

For some reason it was a goose to return in doubtful form.

"... I can't believe Brother Jin is pulling back without making what he wants to make"

"It's gonna rain tomorrow."

"You guys are relentless"

Elsa and Saki told Jen to stare at the two. but it is from the lighting.

"Oh, honey, it's lit."

Hannah seems to know.

"... oh, I'm no match for you"

"Ha, Jen, aren't you a good buddy"

Jen gave his opinion to Goose, who said so and laughed.

"But, goose. I hear that wetlands are delicate. Sometimes plants die just from stepping on them?

Jen recalled that in high wetlands such as Oise, wooden roads are in place to avoid tourist trampling.

"Yeah, I think the people here know that too. I am aware that landfills have been around for hundreds of years, and that the effect seems to have temporarily withered the surrounding plants"

So now, we're choosing a path to live with nature, Goose concluded.

"I hope so."

Jen was a little relieved to hear it.
