Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

Chapter 7



It was now night time in this dangerous forest . I was resting on the branch of a tree in just my underpants .

Its been a few hours since the sun went down . Judging from my growling stomach, I would say its about 8-9PM .

My surroundings were pitch black so I was relying on the moonlight to see . Fortunately, compared to my former worlds moon, the moon here was several times larger and gave off more light as well . I could hear piercing cries in the distance, possibly from nocturnal monsters .

Guess I cant start a fire .

There was a possibility of monsters noticing the fire after all . Then again, I did consider that some might be afraid of it instead .

Inside the rucksack was portable food, a canteen the size of a PET bottle, a knife with a 20 cm blade, and lastly, a pen and notebook . That is to say, there werent any tools for starting fires .

Even so, I never expected that it would mainly be portable food inside I wont have to worry about hunger with this much, but was this really okay?

No, its not okay .

Lost in my own thoughts, I ended up talking to myself .

I was sitting on a very thick branch . It was certainly very strong since it could support both me and the heavy rucksack .

I had to run for about 3 hours before I could get away from the Grand Grizzly and Blue Grizzlys . I was able to hide but I wasnt able to completely lose the bears . I was wondering why but I arrived at the conclusion that they were following me by my scent .

With that in mind, I considered washing away my scent and began searching for a place with water . Before long I found a place with a waterfall and jumped in without hesitation .

As a result, the bears scattered but my clothes were drenched .

What should I do now? The goal was to hunt a Grand Grizzly, but no matter how confident I was in my physical ability, I still didnt feel capable of making full use of it .

If thats the case, what should I do?

At the moment, I can use

A knife, a notebook, and a pen . For the time being, I put on my still-wet trousers and holstered the knife on my belt .

To defeat your opponent, you must first know them The pen is mightier than the sword, or so they say .

For now I should make some plans, the place where I am at right now will be my basecamp . Fortunately, theres a river close by this place . I was concerned there might be parasites but in these circumstances, I can only pray that it isnt the case .

Its a bad omen but Ill show that I can overcome it .

I used some lesser healing magic on my body and started to get some rest . Oops, before that I should I pulled out the knife from my belt and plunged it onto the tree I was on .

The first day

Being thrown into the forest, one lone mans fight was about to begin .

The next morning, I rose early and had tough, chewy portable food for breakfast, washing it down with water from the canteen . After putting on a T-shirt and long pants, and making sure my equipment was in order, I set off to the depths of the forest while keeping my head down . My pen and notebook was also tucked away such that I could easily take them out at any time .

Where is this?

Marking the trees I passed with my knife, I inspected my surroundings . Right before I set off, I washed my body in the river again so wouldnt need to worry about scent Or at least Id like to think so, but itd be pointless if I got spotted again .

There were many monsters in the forest besides the Grand Grizzly and Blue Grizzlys . I havent seen any monsters besides those two yet . Well, even if I didnt want to, Ill probably encounter others soon enough .

! This is

There were three deep gashes on a tree; a trace of a large creature with claws . From the size of the claw marks, its highly possible that the Grand Grizzly from yesterday made these . Ill have to be even more careful in this area then . .

!?

A gasagasa sound rustled from the bushes in front of me .

Is something there?

Carefully approaching the bush, I pulled out my knife as a precaution . I briskly wiped the sweat from my forehead . If its something really ferocious, Im running away immediately .

Gulp . I held my knife in a reverse grip and pushed my way through

Kyuu

A black furball appeared .

What is thi is that a rabbit?

The furball before me was in fact a wild black rabbit, its ears stood up like antennas . This type of rabbit wasnt mentioned in the book Rose passed to me .

It was lying down on the ground and looked at me with its big red eyes . Large, round cute eyes . Its adorable appearance swayed my heart but I could also see that it had difficulty moving .

Are you hurt?

Kyu .

The rabbit nodded in assent .

I wont bother asking why you can understand me . This is another world, theres no point bringing over common sense from my former world .

Lets see where youre injured . . I approached the rabbits side, on its foot was a gash, possibly done by a monster .

Stay still alright?

A pale green light emitted from my hand, I held it close to the wound on its hind foot . A few seconds passed and I moved my hand away, the wound disappeared without a trace . These are the results of my training . Although I mostly used it on myself, it would seem that healing someone else was much faster .

Considering this, I was once again surprised by how unbelievable this magic is .

Its been healed . Dont get yourself hurt like this again .

I left the rabbit alone . I considered bringing it back home because of its adorable appearance but my objective was to subjugate a Grand Grizzly I dont have the luxury of getting too distracted .

However, the rabbit approached me as I left . Without saying anything, the rabbit just kept following me Eh, whats this?

Hey hey, if you stick with me youre going to get attacked by a Grand Grizzly, you know? Or do you know where the Grand Grizzly is?

Kyu .

The rabbit shook its head but indicated me to follow and took off . I followed it, theres no harm seeing where it was leading . Somehow, I felt like I could place my trust in this rabbit there wasnt any reason for it, I just felt that way .

Kyu!

Pyonpyon . As the rabbit made such sounds jumping and advancing through the forest, I noticed both of its antenna-like ears were pointing in a direction .

Those ears, do they act like a radar or something?

While thinking that, I chased after it for a good 10 minutes . Suddenly, the nimble rabbit came to a halt .

Whats happening?

Kyu kyu .

Uwa! W-what is it?

The rabbit abruptly landed on my shoulder with its feet .

Its black fur tickled the bottom of my neck . Other than that, there was its weight, well it wasnt particularly heavy . Whats with this little one? Youre way too cute .

The rabbits ears bent forward and seemed to be hinting at something .

Kyu .

Take a look in front?

As expected, this rabbit seems to understand my words . But since youre cute, Ill forgive you .

Pushing my way forward through the vegetation, I saw two Blue Grizzlys in a dark cave .

Eeh!?

OH

I held down my own mouth . If I shout here, Id give away my position . That cave seems to be their den .

To the rabbit on my shoulder, I said to it in a small voice,

Thanks for the help .

To my words, the rabbit acted in an embarrassed manner and started grooming itself . You shy little thing

Seeing as Ive found their cave, I took out my pen and notebook .

Kyu?

Nn, youre asking what this is?

Its unlikely Id easily win if I fought a bear head on . If thats the case, theres no choice but to aim for the opponents openings . If so
