Seiun wo Kakeru

Age, tired of her manual labor called livestock building, had been devastated by terrible fatigue, as she had initially come to this world.

Often these days you get a deep sleep that you don't even dream about.

I thought so, sometimes I was too tired to sleep.

I happen to be in the latter part of the day, and I feel rushed over and over again about the gobbling and turning over.

If you don't get some sleep soon, I'll tell you tomorrow.

Though I didn't think it meant anything, I tried many different ways to fall asleep, counting the number of sheep in my heart and taking a deep breath, but it doesn't really work.

Next door, Tania is asleep.

When I look at the serene sleeping face, I feel ridiculous that I'm in a hurry.

If I listened further, I could feel the signs of the pig I was keeping in the dark.

Age gets herself out of bed, and when she weaves her jacket, she goes outside the house.

If you look up, the sky will be full of stars.

There were no days when I wasn't surprised that there were so many stars since I came here, because there was no light, because the air was clear.

And the moon. The moon remains the same.

It's still early on the full moon, but it still lights the ground brightly.

Look around, there's no house with lights anywhere.

I can't sleep in the village right now, apparently alone.

I thought you were physically fit where you were...

I was just amazed at the health of the people in this village.

It was time to think about that.

I heard the howl of the beast from afar.

"Dog.... no, wolf?

The howl didn't end in one go.

Probably a bunch of them are barking, twice, three times and that number is getting more.

Am I sending a signal?

The range you hear will show you the spread.

How many on earth are there...?

The number of howls continues to increase. That number is no longer unusual.

"Mr. Mike......? To Jane, to Tania."

Each one of them went outside the house and looked out into the east woods.

Even Tania, who seemed to be asleep, was awake and left the house, and Agee felt a heartbeat.

This is not a free response.

For one thing, go back to Tania and ask the circumstances of how she is showing so much reaction.

Tania had such a clear look on her face that she didn't think she was asleep.

You're totally drowsy.

"Age's awake, too, isn't she?"

"No, I was awake. I can't sleep a bit."

"Was it? Did you hear that?

"It's a wolf howl, right?"

"Yes, maybe we'll start taking action soon"

"Measures?"

"I think Age will be called too, so I'll explain it to you first"

Wolves need to be prevented by village men because they attack the livestock they keep in the village - especially sheep, goats, goats, chickens, etc.

It is basically night that the wolves come out to the village, so the women thoroughly move their livestock into their homes and fences, and the man strikes out to hunt.

"Given the number of howls, I think there are quite a few wolves this year. I didn't get out last year."

Seeing Tania looking serious, Age also found this to be a pretty bad situation.

Even though, it's easy to fall into a food shortage, critical limit production.

If this devours livestock, it will be a painful blow.

I noticed this one. Mike drops by for a small run.

It wasn't the usual loose look, it was a tough look.

"Have you noticed?"

I was awake.

"When you hear that voice, you can't sleep well."

"Well, you do. I caught my eye in a flash, too. What's Age doing up to this hour?

"No, I can't sleep."

"Fair enough. Tania, please double-check so the chickens don't get attacked. Age is a rally."

On his way to the village chief's house, Mike had also ordered checks on the cheapness of each house, including livestock, as well as thorough closing of doors and the participation of men.

In the meantime, everyone looked tough.

What the hell will happen?

This is my first experience.

Will you fight with a knife in your hand, or will you release a bow?

Or is it a trap?

Either way, the danger is endless.

I grew up in a peaceful country.

He was an ordinary man who had never even had a weapon.

Apart from accidents, sickness and death, suddenly there was no experience of people dying.

So I can't even imagine what I'm going to do.

Will I be able to live safely to end this commotion?

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer.

The village of Siena is a livestock village.

Although agriculture also operates, trade is formed in leather processing as a key product.

Naturally, it's not just cattle and pigs that grow them.

Sheep and goats have been instrumental in fur on meat because they can be fed by one person while traveling large numbers.

One of its shepherds looked sad now and stood at the rally.

"This time, I think it's probably my fault"

Well, why not again?

"I'm getting less grass on my regular grazing land, so I'm trying to find a new place, and I'm getting closer to the woods than I normally do. Maybe the forest was a wolf territory. They weren't attacked on the spot, but I guess those guys were following. Three of our sheep were hit."

"I'm sorry to hear that. But if you hunt them, you can use them near the woods. Don't be depressed."

"Sorry, guys"

Mike gently slaps the shepherd on the shoulder to comfort him.

Apparently, the lead actor in this rally is definitely Mike.

For once, neither did Bona, who was sitting in the upper seat, speak out.

"I'm going to decide on a division of the squad to go out on wolf exorcism. It's the one who stays in the village and the one who goes outside. Me and Filippo, Fernando, Giorgio, Mike."

The names of the men of the village are called one after another.

Not many young generations have been called yet.

A man over the age of twenty, at least, seemed to be the criterion for his candidacy.

Certainly loads would be heavy to leave to physically immature children.

- It's Age.

"Yes, sir"

"You don't have to worry about it being the first time. I won't even tell you to get out front. Follow me from behind, get used to it first."

"Okay."

When they called me by my name, my voice went up unexpectedly.

I'm still not at all confident that I can confront the wolf and fulfill it and move decently or not pull my legs.

"Then you can dissolve today, Grandma."

"Mm-hmm. I'll leave it to you this time. Fully divided."

"All right, break it up."

I'm not even ready for that day, so I'm going to start looking around tomorrow night.

We prepare our own gains such as spears, bows and forks respectively.

The spear was made of bronze because Age didn't make a weapon so hard.

If this is the kind of use, I should have made it like this.

Don't stand in regret. If we can make it home safely, we'll think about making it sometime to combat the beast.

When the dissolution is said, he leaves the house in various places.

The footsteps were heavy and cautious.

Walk the road with Mike on the way home.

But will the wolf come again?

"Coming for sure. Once they find something, they stick to it."

"Really?"

Mike's words were full of certainty.

It would be an affirmation because as a hunter you know more about the properties of animals than anyone else.

Confident narratives that do not allow ambiguity, the usual silliness additions and subtractions lurked the ringing and, to put it in short, looked good.

"Think about it. A good bait called sheep is gathering all over the place. From them, it would be a dressed feeding ground."

"You've killed me many times before, haven't you?"

"Oh. It comes out every few years in the winter"

"Can't we eradicate it?

"It's only one of the herds. If we go hunting deep into the woods, we'll be surrounded and killed."

"Really?"

I said plainly that they would kill me.

I mean, I guess I've had major injuries and deaths.

I can see my mind getting darker and darker.

"Don't be alarmed when you turn back. If they bite you, you'll die."

"Yes. Can I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"I don't object to looking around, but I was wondering what the odds are that we'd meet."

"You don't have to worry, that strikes a hand, too. Let go of a sheep and make it look like it."

"Do you catch just one head"

"They'll never miss the guy who left the herd."

I got to Mike's house.

I was out of the house waiting while Jane was cold.

Next door is a big dog like Siberian Husky.

When I found out Mike was back, I shook my tail wide open.

Running right to the side, it jumps once.

Shortly afterwards, I rubbed my body against Mike's foot so that it would twitch.

"All right, all right. Jello. I'm home."

"You're a big dog"

"Oh. Jerody's my partner. He finds his prey when he's hunting, so I'm eating it."

"Wow!

He liked you, too.

Jello has stuck a wet nose tip to his face.

I can tell that fluffy hair is comfortable to touch and always beautifully maintained.

Agie stroked her head and did it, lowering her raised jello.

Even if he touches his head, he doesn't hate it, he does, but he leaves it.

You're a smart dog. I'm very much in love with that.

But once you find your prey, this hound will run braver than anyone else.

The wasting fat-free slurry appeared to hold a tremendous spring.

"Bye. We'll be late tomorrow, so go to bed early today."

"Okay. I didn't sleep until just now, but suddenly I was drowsy."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Mike walks into the house waving.

Jello was perfect right next door to it.

"Welcome back"

"I'm home, Mr. Tania. Were you okay at home?

"Yes, it's too late, and let's go to bed early today"

"Right."

I go into the house, along with Tania, who listened to me and came out.

I guess my body was still tired. Now as soon as I got into bed, I fell asleep.
