Isekai Taneuma

Gakri.....

My posture collapsed and I woke up. I got back up in a hurry and was paranoid for a while. It seems that the sound of the creek was so pleasant that she fell asleep. If it had fallen off a single rock, it would have been in there by now. Your heart is rattling. When I rubbed the lid of my still blurred eyes, the lighting on the water surface sparkled.

The sun falls on Jomtien, and it seems time for lunch. When I thought about it, I was kind of hungry and my cash stomach rang ~. Looking at the tip of the fishing rod standing pressed against its stomach, the fishing line swayed loosely in the wind. Apparently, he took only the food while he was asleep. Pull the needle up disappointed and refeed and throw in again.

The bait is the meat of the mysterious creature that I ate yesterday... and when I left it alone, it was a maggot that gushed out. That said, ordinary people may get annoyed, but as a fishing bait, it is divided and major, and it is sold normally in fishing gear stores under the name Sabamushi and Sashi. It's about the larvae of flies, but it's strange because they don't show up at all while the creature is alive, and when they die, they spring up in less than a day. Where the hell were they?

When I was thinking about that, I felt something touching the hook. The tip of the rod shakes irregularly. Looks like a prey has arrived. After waiting for the prey to catch without haste and noise, Feng pulled up the fishing rod and the fish jumped out of the water with a pashan and a sound of water.

The body length is about 20 cm. There are black spots and yellow stripes that resemble yamame, but I've never seen them before. This river can catch other pirania-like fish, but both taste good. Yamame has a slightly more muddy smell and Pirania has rough meat. However, I didn't really care about the flavour because I just had to eat it anyway.

Feng removed the fish from the hook and threw the fish into the raw cannon he had dug a hole in Nakasu. There were four foreigners in the razor gun, and the number of people was secured together with the current one, so it's time to finish fishing. Today's offering will be even more luxurious if you take a stroll along the river and find vegetables.

Speaking of which, I found natural potatoes... so-called yams on the dirt before I came here. Yams have deep stems and are difficult to dig out, but if they grow on a slope, that's not the case. I was going to let my buddies help me when I got back, but I didn't have much time, so I thought I'd put my hands on it right now... while thinking about that, I was holding on to the raw fish.

"Tsukumo!! I'm home!!

Kinkira's hair popped up from across the river. As the daughter of a brave man, Mary is a priest who resembles Feng's childhood familiarity. She was supposed to be hunting in the forest with Guillaume while Feng was fishing.

There were birds and reptiles in the forest, and all other wildlife inhabited, and if successful, it could be found in prey such as deer and pigs. Guillaume is used to chasing animals because he is a former cowboy, and he also shares the role that we are better off than fishing because his weapon is a gun.

By the way, by the nature of hunting wildlife, it's not always possible to get prey every day....

Coming back, Mary shook her black-black hands innocently and smiled with a smile all over her lovely face. To see how it goes, it seems that it went well today. Soon, from behind Mary in such a good mood,

"Hey, Feng. Help me dismantle it."

And Guillaume peered into his face.

"Deer? Let's do it."

Sort of. I won't be having trouble eating for a while now. "

They stood back and forth, handing round logs to their shoulders, holding them like a moccoon. In the middle is a deer that Guillaume seems to have captured, tied to the front and rear legs and hung. It is said to be a deer by the way, but it is actually something like a deer, and I am sure there is another name, but because it is similar in appearance and ecology, I call it a deer because it is troublesome.

The suspended deer is a child and is less than one meter long. I think I was born six months ago because I don't have horns. There must have been a parent deer nearby, but there's no reason Guillaume took care of us. It is difficult to dismantle because it cannot be eaten purely by this number of people.

They brought the deer to Nakasu, where Feng was, and lowered their prey next to him holding the fish. The moment I lowered it, I saw Bikri twisting my body, and the deer didn't seem to be dead yet. However, I wonder if my crushed eyes have no power and are on the verge of extinction.

As Feng approached the lying deer, he gazed at the lizard and pressed his whole body around the base of his hind leg. Guillaume already weighs on her forefoot in the same way, which means she's holding them together to keep them from going wild.

Seeing Feng hold down the deer, Mary now approached the prey with a knife. Is it a wild conjecture? And the deer that knew what they were to do sought to wreak havoc on the last one, but there were two of them, and they were held down firmly, and they could not move. And when Mary put the tip of the knife firmly between the eyebrows of such a pathetic deer, she slapped the corn... and punched a hole in her forehead with a wooden hammer she had.

The deer in between her eyebrows trembled and stopped moving for a moment. The deer with the brain was killed by this, but the feng who were holding their bodies still didn't relax their power. Because the show is coming.

After confirming that the deer had stopped moving, Mary now put a blade in her neck, pointing at the artery and pushing it all the way to the back of her body. Then the blood spilled out like twisting a faucet, and the next moment, the deer, who was supposed to have died, burst into flashes.

The power was so great that Feng and Guillaume held down the body of the deer, making their faces bright red. Eventually, when the movement stopped, they were all sweaty. The eyes of the deer were closed and there was no strength, and when Feng and the others judged that they would no longer move to the boulder, they slowly leaned away from their bodies and fell down to the ground in large letters.

"Speaking of delicious meat, don't be so tired."

"If Jeanne could help me with this kind of strenuous work."

While the two were talking with Zeezae exhaling rough breath, blood continued to flow from the neck of the deer, as usual, and it seemed to continue until the whole body bled out. Mary gazed at the state with curiosity.

Needless to say, what the three of them were doing right now was bleeding out.

Bloody meat smells bad. That's why we need blood before we burn it. However, if it is meat, it may be enough to expose it to milk, but this is not the case with live prey, where blood is still flowing through blood vessels throughout the body. Draining all this blood requires ingenuity.

Specifically, all animals circulate blood with a heart pump, so use this to drain blood out of the blood vessels. However, if you hurt the arteries of the living prey, you will have to stop moving in some way because of the brawl and the trouble.

They usually aim for brain death. He stabs a blade in the brain from between his eyebrows and bleeds to death, making it a so-called plant state.

The creature whose brain was injured in this way has already finished living as a creature, but the body's function still moves for a little while. Even humans do, but the heart is not moving consciously, it's moving automatically.

A brain-dead animal can safely drain blood from injury to the artery without becoming violent. That's why we do it in modern slaughterhouses with electric shock... but it's still incomplete.

Because the newly brain-dead creature is still connected to the heart and nerves, so it can move with reflexes. Reflex is when you shock a dead frog and it starts to twitch. The force exerted at this time is either a reflection of the muscle rather than a force of will, or it can be more powerful than you think.

It is ironic to say that it is more powerful after death than when you are alive, but in the case of large beasts, it is after death that you have to be more careful than when you are alive, because it is possible that you will exert enough power to kill a human.

Incidentally, the procedure of so-called nerve tightening, which wires through the spinal cord to prevent it from happening, is that Guillaume was aiming for the smallest possible prey because the phoenixes who fled to the forest to be chased do not have such tools at their convenience.

If that's possible, it would be cool to say that you're not a deer, but you're going to defeat a bigger prey and come back to the runaway children, but you can't replace your belly.

Guillaume, who bled so much, quickly began to dismantle it on the spot. It's already past noon, and Jeanne and the others are waiting, so I think we should do it when we get back, but it seems that the skin of the animals will be difficult to peel over time, so they won't go there either. It would be a waste to waste meat, so I will respond honestly.

In the meantime, Feng decided to go digging for the natural potatoes he had been watching. I've got plenty of ingredients, so I don't need any more, but I think it would be better to keep the wild vegetables because they are well preserved. After such a phoenix, Mary stuck together. She also seemed interested in dismantling, but she also seemed interested in collecting wild plants.

For 300 years, Mary, who had been trapped in the border, had appeared curious from a freed recoil or as if she were a child. Normal women did not hesitate to hunt or dismantle animals, and today they still ran around the woods with Guillaume, killing deer and helping slaughterers.

Originally, STR23 was more efficient with this kind of hard work, but Jeanne couldn't kill the creature, but she couldn't dismantle it. If Guillaume cuts the neck of his prey and peels off the skin, he feels sick just seeing it, and then he throws up.

But the unusable Okama kept the horses and the old man in charge, and the three of Feng, Guillaume and Mary raised food.

By the way, even if Feng is weak and has no combat skills, he may find it useless.....

"... Tsukumo? Can you eat this?

"Oh, that's a snake strawberry. I can't eat it, but it doesn't taste good. Strawberries that look similar are more delicious."

"So, what's this?

"It's Yama Gobo. It looks like a grape, but it's a gobo. I feel like I could eat it, but it's very poisonous. Worst case scenario, you're going to die."

"That's right... what about these lovely flowers? Can't you eat this, too?

"That's Harzion, that's a tampon. Both can be eaten without acupuncture. The fact that the flowers are blooming means that it is early spring. We spend the summer when other plants are flourishing, and in the autumn we bloom again."

"Hmm... do you have any other grass you might be able to eat?

I see. What's in there is Doc Dami. It's a panacea, also known as the Ten Drugs. Let's pick some and go home. You're a yogi. This is also medicinal herb, but it is delicious even if eaten as is. Let's put it in the juice and eat. "

"Okay... that? I've seen this strange, wrinkly grass before."

"It's a cedar plant, not a grass. It's not delicious, but the spore body is called Tsuki, which is a typical example of wild vegetables. It's connected by a stem, so it should grow nearby. It's delicious."

"Tsuki-kun... that Tsuki-kun?

Mary looked for wild vegetables by stirring up the ground and grass roots. Eventually, I found what I was looking for, and I smiled like a sparkle. The smile doubled with the familiar face, and Feng was somehow cut off. But would she have looked like this? No matter how many child-friendly faces I always cared about, I couldn't remember them well.

If she didn't have any clues at the time, I wonder if she was laughing like this....

Feng and the others were picking wild vegetables in such a state, and Guillaume, who had dismantled the deer, came pumping the smell of blood. I have to get used to living like this, but I'm not used to the unique smell of death.

When Feng picked him up with his nose, Guillaume slapped his head and looked at the wild vegetables filled with monkeys made of Mary's bamboo straw.

"... can you eat all this? Wow."

Sort of.

"I'm so glad you're here. Honestly, I was surprised, but how do you know so much grass to eat?

Guillaume, who had seen Feng's unexpected stunts, asked such a question, and after a slight bumpy face, he shredded the leaves nearby and whistled with grass.

"... there was a time when my parents kicked me out and lived on the street. That's when I needed it."

"What are you doing?

When Guillaume replied with surprise, Feng told Mary to teach her how to whistle.

"I didn't want to apologize when I died. I'd rather die of herbivore than bow my head to my father. But if I had to try, I could eat out of sight."

"Hmm... I see. I don't know what happened, but thanks to this, I'm saving you now, so is that okay? It's time to go home, I'm hungry."

As he told me, Guillaume pulled lightly without going any further, and began to go back the way he had received the monkey from Mary. I heard from Jeanne, but it seems that he also ran away and became an outlaw... I wonder if there was any sympathy for Feng's story.

In his case, it seems that shooting the one who insulted his mother caused him to run away.....

"That's a strange story, though."

Walking after such a guillaume, he snapped without anyone.

"What happened?

Feng asked,

"I didn't realize it until you told me, but the creatures in this world aren't always used to this one. But the plants are almost the same as the earth....."

"Ahh....."

"Is this what this is all about?

"Come on. It might make sense, but it's about nature... and I don't think I know what the old man doesn't either."

"Must be."

It's been a month since I escaped from Hermes territory. The feng were lurking in the forest. Initially, I was going to go to the New World soon, but if the Empire's pursuit was tougher than I thought and I waited for it to cool down, it would be so much too late.

Meanwhile, I had to survive somehow with less supplies, but Guillaume, the agile adventurer...

Guillaume had a head that wouldn't last that long if he had four useless priests, over 300 years old, Okuma, and Level 3....

When I opened the lid, Level 3 was not only useless, but also knowledgeable enough to support everyday life.

He was somehow knowledgeable about wild vegetables and knew how to make a fire, and he put on an instant tent with tree skins and dead branches. Anyway, everything was clever, from removing fibers from the vine plants to making threads, tapping on the lead in hand to making fishing hooks, to dismantling small animals with fish.

Survival life, which I initially thought I should earn as much as three days, was ten times over when I realized it. Life is more stable than I thought, and there is nothing to complain about except Jeanne, a modern man.

Originally, I was aiming for a new world to get Mary out of the hands of the Imperial Devil, but that Mary is more than happy with her current life, and I even think she can live like this....

Guillaume had a comfortable life to think so, but he won't be able to do it forever. I've been lurking in the woods for a month, and I haven't caught a glimpse of the Empire's trends in the meantime. Whether they're still looking for you or they've given up their pursuit long ago, I'm not relieved I don't have any information.

At the very least, you can get close to me. With that in mind, Guillaume walked through the woods carrying the raw meat that was still hot.
