No matter how she changed the way she swung the blade, Ian could always deflect it with perfect accuracy with his own knife.

After several confrontations.

Minamoto Yorimitsu gasped, but Ian still looked calm.

He looked at her in front of him and put away his knife.

"I said, if you want to use it to threaten me, it would be a bit childish."

"Please come back, Miss Minamoto Yorimitsu."

[Under the shocked eyes of Minamoto Norimitsu, you returned to the house and closed the door. 】

【You have your own things to do. 】

[That is to think about what the forgotten secret is. 】

[This is a very difficult process and will consume a lot of your time without realizing it. 】

[The sky darkened silently. 】

[You know you have to find something to eat. 】

Ian pushed open the door.

The clear moonlight fell on the path outside the door, dyeing everything it touched into bright white.

The flying dust seemed to turn into clean rubble at this moment.

This should have been a pleasing sight.

Until Ian saw a familiar figure.

That's Minamoto Yorimitsu.

She remained in that defeated position.

【Yorimitsu Minamoto noticed you. 】

[She looked at you with her eyes, but said nothing. 】

[You realize that she has been thinking about a lot of things during this past period. 】

"Why don't you go back?"

Ian asked as he looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu in front of him.

"Standing in front of a man's door like this late at night will attract a lot of gossip."

"Though I don't mind."

"only--"

"For people like you, it's better to think more about your reputation, right?"

"It's nothing to worry about."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu pulled out his sword blade and inserted it into the ground beside him.

The moonlight falls on this sharp sword,

"I believe it can explain everything for me."

"As for the reason why I don't go back, it's very simple."

The warrior looked at the man in front of him.

"You're the reason I can't leave."

"But Miss Minamoto Yorimitsu——"

Ian replied calmly.

"I guess I should have said that 'threats' are meaningless to me?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Laiguang nodded.

"Master, you did say that."

"So I've done a lot of soul-searching."

"I apologize for my previous offense."

"sorry."

He changed to Qianyu and apologized at the same time.

Ian felt that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was truly sorry for what had just happened.

He's not a pushover either.

"So Miss Minamoto Yorimitsu, what are your next plans?"

"It's simple."

Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at Ian in front of him, his purple eyes full of sincerity.

"Master, you must not have had time to enjoy dinner yet."

"Please lend me a bow and let me hunt for you what you deserve."

"..."

[You realize that Minamoto no Yorimitsu is not joking with you. 】

[She really plans to do this. 】

[But you still plan to refuse her - because even without her, you can get enough to fill your stomach. 】

[Just when you were about to say it, you saw Minamoto norimitsu's slightly trembling body. 】

[You suddenly understand. 】

[She is still wearing the same kimono she wore during the day. She will naturally shiver at night when the temperature drops. 】

[But she is still trying her best to restrain herself and does not want you to notice her. 】

【You are moved by compassion. 】

"okay."

Ian looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu in front of him.

"My bow hasn't been drawn in a long time and it really needs someone like you to give it a little stretch."

"But Master, you brought out an extra piece of fur."

Facing the unexpected thing, Minamoto Noraimitsu seemed a little hesitant.

"This……"

Ian smiled slightly.

"It's not just the bow that needs to move the muscles and bones."

"..."

"Then thank you, Master."

[Minamoto Yorimitsu put on the fur you brought out and picked up the bow you provided. 】

[You came to the nearby mountains with her. 】

[Logically speaking, setting the hunting time at night is a sign of great ignorance. 】

[Because night is the best cover for the animals in the mountains. 】

[In comparison, humans who rashly enter the mountains are more like prey. 】

[But neither you nor Minamoto Yorimitsu look scared at all. 】

"Ms. Minamoto Yorimitsu, aren't you afraid?"

Ian asked as he looked at the dark environment in the mountains.

"I'm not afraid."

Without any hesitation, Minamoto no Yorimitsu directly confessed his feelings.

"I'm a martial arts practitioner, how can I feel afraid just because the darkness blinds my eyes for a moment?"

"That's a shame for a warrior."

The voice just fell.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu fully drew the bow string in his hand.

Huh.

The arrow flew out from the bow that had not been used for a long time and shot towards somewhere in the mountain forest.

The speed was so fast that even the arrow feathers had no time to deflect.

A sound from Duang.

The arrow pierces the wood for three points.

Also nailed to it was a rabbit.

This is the hunting arrow achieved at the moment when the rabbit takes off.

Nothing needs to be said.

In addition to his great swordsmanship, Yorimitsu Minamoto's archery skills are equally superb.

[This is not an accident. 】

[Minamoto Yorimitsu kept repeating the actions just now in the night forest, with an expression of devotion, as if the land under her feet was her own hunting ground. 】

[She didn’t stop until the arrows were exhausted. 】

[You realize that this is her way of proving it - using her martial arts skills to do what she promised you. 】

A squeak.

There was light in the forest.

That was the fire started by Yorimitsu Minamoto.

Logically speaking, this should be a taboo for hunting in the mountains.

After all, whether it is bright light or the aroma of food being cooked, it is a potential reminder to the beasts lurking in the shadows.

but--

Ian wasn't worried about the danger at all.

Because Minamoto no Yorimitsu had cut off the heads of all the prey he had just hunted, and then listed them on the ground nearby like trophies.

The bright light shines on their heads, etching the last scene before death.

Ian was sure that no intelligent beast would have the idea of ​​coming over after seeing such a scene.

the other side.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu is skillfully handling the prey with their heads cut off.

Although she was a woman, there was no fear of this kind of disability in her purple eyes.

On the contrary, Minamoto Yorimitsu seems to have a unique preference for this method of beheading.

remove fur;

disembowell;

Set it up with branches.

After Minamoto norimitsu went to the riverside to wash his hands, he returned to Ian and took down the roasted prey for him.

"Master, without salt, it may taste strange."

"Please forgive me."

[But in fact it doesn’t. 】
