「……Had.

While carefully cautiously scraping the branches and leaves of the forest, I finally found the prey. It is a deer.

Even if it says a deer, it is not exactly what I know. A geometrically striking pattern runs throughout the corner, as if it were a lightning bolt, it was such a creature that if you were about a little tree it would pierce it.

Somehow, this world is nice armor bear with me, I think that overall battle capability is excessive.

ai Can you do that for me?

Yes

When I whisper to the eye on the back, there was signs nodding and I felt the trees in front of the deer flirting. The deer sensitively perceives the sign that it is clearly different from shaking in the wind and retreats backwards reflexively.

---- In other words, it is in the direction we are.

At that timing, I jump out of the bushes and wield nails. But as soon as it arrived, the deer swiftly turned and turned his nails.

Foot-in-Mouth

When I spread the wings, swings and gusts blow. The deer fell for a moment after being hid by the wind, but faded to the back of the forest earlier than I was going after.

"Failure again ... ...."

"Sorry, teacher ..."

"No, it's not due to Eye. I smell don "

Originally, I am not good at hunting.

The magic of the wind is only useful to make it at best. On the contrary, the fire is too expensive and can not be used at all in the forest.

Although the body of the dragon is beaten bear and beating from the front and there is a specification that can beat victoriously, it depends on how to control the body rather than whether to catch a herbivorous animal to escape. And apparently, I did not seem to like it badly.

It is a good idea if at most 10 successive trips are allowed.

Her work is by no means small, as it has come to success around seven times thanks to Eye.

It is not.

"However, what should I do ......"

If it is a life now, then it is a problem.

The total number of people in Ai village is 16 people. Besides, I and Nina, Eye plus 18 people and one.

In my success rate of hunting, although it was possible to cover two people and one, it was difficult to maintain that number of people.

Of course, they have lived in this world until now. Although it is not nutritionally insufficient, we can hunt and live by ourselves.

But in that life there was nothing like room for surplus.

In the morning, as the sun rises, I go out for hunting and sleep as the sunset. It is almost that life. Still, whether meals are enough. It seems that there were frequent days when you could not eat anything without taking prey.

It is also a problem that half of the sixteen people are children who are not going to get older and that only five men are actually supporting this group. The hunting efficiency drastically decreases only by losing one's physical condition, and if it suffers a major injury during hunting, this group can collapse by itself.

It is acutely felt that it is something that society has affordable, education, and that it is a fruitful thing.

"It can not be helped, let's go home this much today."

「……Sounds good

I looked at the sun at the middle of the sky, I called out to Ai.

Eventually, today's harvest is the tree nut collected by Ai and the fish I picked up in the morning, and shellfish. These are quite stable compared to the hunting of large animals, but they are very bad, so it is a difficulty to get only the amount to eat today. The ocean is far away, even my wings will lose considerable time.

"I'm home"

「Welcome back.

"Ocarina!"

"Ocaria!"

When I and Ai returned to the cave, Nina and children welcomed me. In a lively greeting, the mouth does not come down without thinking.

The learning ability of children is really surprised. They had already begun to remember simple words, even though we had not passed so much as we moved our base closer to this cave.

"I could not get any big items today, are not you?"

yeah- God. - I'm sorry.

"No, I do not mind doing that."

Receive the hunting results, quickly put in the pot while Nina.

"After all, should I go with me?"

In the words of Nina, I groaned.

Certainly, if you bring her, the efficiency of hunting improves dramatically.

Anyway, Nina is like a child in the forest.

It senses sharp curiosity of living things more than any wild animals, creeps without being noticed by insects and catches prey with all the surrounding trees. If it is with her, the probability of success increases up to about once for me.

"Well, I will try harder with a bit more. I'd like to ask Nina for this. "

Still there are reasons not to bring Nina.

"Please protect your children"

It'll have to be.

Despite frustratingly inflating his cheeks, Nina acknowledged it.

When this village is attacked by a foreign enemy, it is only me and her that I can do anything.

It was very uneasy for both of them to leave the settlement.

It is a story that you can do with an eye alone, but you can not go hunting with children with eight people in the way. Besides, they are babies.

"Well, eye is steadily improving magic and we will be better."

Anyway as long as you connect your life, things will gradually get better.

I was optimistically thinking so. For that reason, it is impossible to absolutely kill children who are easy to die even by just being able to do it.

"Come on, it's time to study today."

When I say so, the children are "Huh!"I raised my hand and replied.

It may be because they act on nuts after studying, but basically they are very enthusiastic. It seems that there is already already existence of education and eye which learned magic. Some girls learn words greedily from Nina while I am not there and succeed in simple magic.

Sensei　Hee! "

Among the fastest growing is a boy named Ken.

"Oh, you are very good at it. It's amazing, Ken "

Is the year a little lower than eye?

It is not a feeling that comprehension is special like Nina, but it is good to grab a knack anyway. It absorbs what you taught and practices it. In particular, the concept of "energy" seems to be very difficult to understand, children other than Ken can move the leaves a bit.

Children learned ambitiously, but the problems were adults.

Some are busy hunting, but they do not try to learn the language at all. Far from being not interested, such as magic, even the challenging chapter was seen.

Well, in fact, the current magic is not much useful. It is different if you can handle Nina, but the magic of Aye has no meaning to do alone. It is only a matter of men to do with their own arms if it is menstruating trees, and magic of flames can not light fire trees. It is only me and Nana that I can actually fire a flame to ignite.

However, I would like you to remember the words ... ...

I was taught by Ai and learned their words, but it did not make much sense.

How to move at the time of hunting, what kind of life do you usually do, what to do at such times ......Without such accumulation of knowledge, it is meaningless to remember words alone.

They all live together and share the majority of their lives. That is why simple signaling suffices. There is no need to speak and explain something to others in the first place.

Until that kind of fine detail, I can not learn to go all the way in the evening. Even if you learn it would be useless. The physique is too different between me and them. For me who is not a person, I can not feel the same thing even if I live the same life with them. I can not share feelings.

That is why I want you to remember the words you can understand even among people with different values, but I can not convey the usefulness of the words to those who do not know the words. It is a dilemma.

ratio　DEL!　ratio　DEL! "

When I bothered my head, Ken was fun and it could not be helped and I was repeating fire in and out. Even if the world changes, it seems that children like fire play.

By the way, immediately after I reached the body, I remember that the flames that leaked out of my mouth were fun and I was blowing over and over.

"Ken, not necessarily not hot ... well ..."

However, it is not an act of praise too much.

I was surprised as I tried to gouge.

He had a considerably higher calorie than usual.

If the flame of the eye is lukewarm, there is a temperature around hot water.

Ken　How did it go! What? "

I shouted without thinking, Ken was surprised and erased the fire.

"Oh, it's okay, I did not get angry. Would you try out the fire again? "

Kokoro nods, and Ken flushes with fire. It floated on the palm, but it does not change much as the eye ... ...No, rather it was a lower temperature flame.

"Hah...　Can you put out a fire like that just before? "

When asking, Ken has a troubled face.

"Why is it ...?　Or things like MP-like things run out ...? "

Although I had not particularly worried so far, it is hard to think that magic can be used indefinitely without any compensation. Was it such that mental power, magical power and such thing was exhausted and its power decreased?

"Is it because it is not putting out while talking about fire?"

While worrying, Nina casually said that while scraping off the fish scales with a stone knife.

"No, that simple ... ....Is that it? "

Halfy, but I urge Ken to speak.

ratioHello, Delo! "

Flame rose from the palm of Ken who was full of energy.

It is not just an illusion of heat and light. It is a real flame.

I see...really?

Why did not you notice such a simple thing?

"This is a spell casting"

Apparently we seemed to have abandoned the chant all along.
