Chapter 172: 172 \nThe next morning, as usual, the five of us + take each other on the Krull to the lake. Every time, just in case, I have a short sword and Rike has an axe (although the main purpose is to cut trees). The other three are bows.\n
Unless there is an ambush by magic, but in this world where there are not so many magic users, there are times when âthatâs not the caseâ (Liddy talks), and I feel safe that there have been more ranged weapons. Bears will be the threat in the first forest right now.
Krull seems in a good mood because weâre all going out today.
As I proceeded through the woods in a half picnic mood, I saw an unfamiliar beast in the distance. No, Iâm used to seeing it in a way. Looks like a complete tiger. Thermia â there are tiger beasts, so there are tigers themselves that would have been the original.
I know, but Iâve never seen this forest before, not to mention a fraction of it, so Iâll ask Thermia.
âRight. Itâs rare to come this way, though. \n
Thermia answers as if it were nothing.
âThere was Atashi. More north or west, I see some more, but this one doesnât come much because the wolves have a lot of territory.
âDid the bear chase you?
âIf the bear chased me, I think Iâd go further north or on the other side of the lake. Youâve simply been chasing other prey. It means itâs rare but sometimes.
âYou donât mean relatives, do you?
âNone.â\nAt the end of the day, I was answered to the feeling of eating. As an animal man, I donât seem to like the same treatment as the original beast. Just in case you say, âIsnât that voice, my friend, Lee Tsunko? I thought it would be a bad idea, but that doesnât seem to be the case.
âNo, fine. By the way, I donât even know what to say.
If you go through with it, thatâs what Li Zhenzi can do.
The tiger seemed to be looking at this one for just a few moments, but he quickly turned his heel back and disappeared into the woods. Talk about coming after the prey, but he didnât seem that hungry. There are quite a few animals around here that can be preyed upon.
\nDrag the transport platform, which has painstakingly fixed the pigs, with everyone, including the krulls. Again, it doesnât weigh half the weight, but thanks to the kurl, it is able to go at that speed. Pretty late than usual, but managed to come back after noon.
Hang the body of the pig you brought back to the tree, struggling again. Of course Iâm here to help Krull. Otherwise, you canât hang a giant.
The subsequent demolition work had the hardship of having a large body, but the work itself proceeds as usual. If it wasnât a bespoke model knife, I guess this wouldnât have happened. Every time I think about it, it looks like a cheat.
The five of us were able to dismantle it and divide it into meat and unwanted parts in about an hour. Bring the salted and dried buns into the warehouse, except for the ones you eat right away.
Glad I kept this warehouse built. If I hadnât made it, less than 300 kg of meat would have been dried to the workplace by now.
It is quite a bit past noon that we have completed those tasks, but it is still quite early enough to say evening. The bellies of everyone, including me, are already teased and the loud chorus of sounds that prompt food has begun.
I went back to the house with the meat I had split up to make the treat I promised.
