And the technique of finding things to eat in the forest. |
It's hard for me because I can't ask anyone about either. |
But the only thing to remember is…. that I have to build up my physical strength. |
Running through the forest. |
I wanted to raise my physical strength by running. |
It's my first time doing it. |
I'll follow what my heart says. |
I looked for a nut from today's morning but can't find any. |
I gradually got used to running around the forest alone every day. |
My physical strength raises a bit. |
Maybe it's just my feeling. |
My consciousness suddenly faded away...Eh? |
I am tired and sleepy. |
When I look towards my side, I stiffen. |
There, an elderly woman sat down. |
When our line of sight met, she narrowed her eyes and smiled. |
I remember that smile. |
This person is the fortune teller who lives in the village. |
She always had a gentle smile and gave advice to villagers. |
"Hello" |
"…..yes, hello" |
The Fortune Teller talked to me. |
I wonder why my heart beats louder. |
In the last few days, my story became known to the villagers. |
Since then, no one has spoken or looked at me. |
"What is it?" |
The Fortune Teller looked at me and began to speak quietly. |
"My fortune-telling involves foreseeing the future. Since I'm only a 1 star, I can only see a little ahead. I foresaw your situation just before you arrived and that you needed clarification. But I can't see the cause." |
"…..I see" |
There are many things to consider, but the Fortune Teller is not bad. |
My current situation is … I think it can't be helped in this world. |
As I said before, It's the same everywhere that excludes those who don't understand. |
I can understand a little, but I can't accept it. |
"Here's a present." |
She handed me a bag. |
I was confused, but I took it and looked inside. |
It contains more than what it looks. |
"This is a degraded version of the magic bag. I put various things inside. I'm sure it's what you'll need from now on." |
I turn the bag over. |
Really, many things came out. |
There are several books on how to identify food and poisonous plants. |
Potions … There are several, but they all have different colors. |
A small knife. |
I look at the Fortune Teller. |
"The degraded versions are disposable, so they can be obtained easily. The regular magic bag has a time stop, but you need money to get it. The potion is also a degraded version. The effect could be better, but regular potions are expensive, so children can't buy one. |
... I think that a degraded version is necessary to live alone." |
She is a kind person. |
There's no problem even if she didn't do this for me. |
However, she teaches me how to survive. |
"Thank you very much." |
The Fortune Teller has come to see me several times since then. |
Telling me a story or giving me a degraded potion. |
She also gives me some food. |
In the meantime, my situation is getting worse and worse. |
About a year after that day, I could not enter my room. |
Sad and crying, I threw the cup, which was on the desk, towards my mother. |
After that, I was beaten many times by my father and experienced pain I had never felt before. |
My mother never stopped my father. |
Although it was a degraded version, the potion was helpful. |
I was sad that my scars had increased, but there were no tears. |
I was strangely relieved as I began to live hidden in the woods. |
Since I didn't want to be seen by anyone, I developed a technique to hide myself. |
I just honed that skill so that I could not be found. |
Meanwhile, I read the book repeatedly to memorize it in my head. |
Edible nuts, poison grass, medicinal herbs. |
I learned to recognize each characteristic. |
This will make life in the forest safer. |
I remember I ate a poison by mistake and suffered. |
Besides the two books, there were also books on how to trap prey. |
I learn and practice the trap I create by myself. |
Having failed several times, I was able to catch prey. |
I feel like I was screaming during the dismantling, but it's just my imagination. |
I'm excited. It's been a long time since I ate meat. |
3 years. |
I have a lot of physical strength. |
I can run in the forest for a long time. |
Although it is a small prey, the probability of being caught has also increased. |
I'm able to treat wounds using medicinal herbs. |
My life in the forest is going well. |
I was worried about something, so I left the forest for the first time in a long time and went to the village. |
They looked surprised, maybe because they thought I was dead. |
I don't care. They thought I was dead. |
What worries me is the Fortune Teller. |
She visited me every two weeks, but I had just seen her about a month ago. |
Did something happen? |
There was no one in the Fortune Teller's house. |
I'm worried about what happened. |
I hear a voice whispering in the back. |
When I listen carefully, I can hear what they're talking about. |
The contents of the conversation make me feel as if I had my chest tightly grasped. |
I leave and run away to the forest. |
The Fortune Teller died. |
I heard that she had a cold. |
