Look up at the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not raining, is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was worried last night because of the thick cloud cover, but it did not rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, the clouds still covered the entire sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The wind also feels humid, so there is a strong possibility that it will start to rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A light rain would not be a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But if it turns into heavy rain, it will be troublesome.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The smell of animals and demons will be muffled, which will increase the danger in the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And then there is the problem of lightning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola seems to be in a good mood at the moment and is bouncing around happily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, who is watching over her, occasionally looks up at the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is she feeling something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, can you tell if it's going to rain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now that's what I mean about not knowing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm...look at the sky again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In any case, the clouds covering the sky look like thunderclouds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When lightning strikes, it is not safe to be near trees.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Therefore, we look for caves and caverns, but not necessarily in the direction we are going.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I took out a map from my bag and checked the area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there any sign of a cave?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No? If it was just rain, it wouldn't be a problem. ...... thunder is ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~, ppppppp~."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola jumps onto the map with a pitter-patter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Sola, we're in danger if we don't think about what happens when the lightning strikes, aren't we?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I checked the map in the direction to the town, but the forest continues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If there is a rocky hill, there is a good chance that there is a cave where we can hide if there is a thunderstorm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We could go to the rocky hill," he said, "even though it's a little off the beaten path. Thunder scares me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Once, when I was alone with Sola, it started raining and there was a thunderstorm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We hurried to find a safe place, but there were no caves or caverns in the area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We hid under a small tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I was feeling fearful of the lightning coming closer and closer, it struck a large tree nearby.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I never want to experience that fear again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Fortunately, the tree was a short distance away, so we were not affected, but Sora and I jumped up and down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P~~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola, too, remembered the word "thunder," and her body shook with a plop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know if there will be thunder or not, but I have to think about what will happen when it happens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be a little late getting to town, but that can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Above all, personal safety comes first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All right, it's a long way to the town, but let's go to the rocky hill. From here, it should take about an hour.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Going to a rocky mountain does not guarantee that there will be a cave or cavern, but that is not an option.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's hope there are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Or that there won't be thunder, that's my best hope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We put our bags away and move a little faster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a short walk, a light rain started to fall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew it was coming down," he said. Sola, let's get back in the bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put Sola in my bag and then take the rain-protective cloak out of my bag and put it on over it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This will protect me from a certain amount of rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, are you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel does not seem to be bothered by the light rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She looks as if nothing is wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As we continued walking, the rainfall became heavier and heavier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And then, I hear the faint sound of thunder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was still far away, but it had started to rumble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered if there would be thunder.　I hope so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Somehow, we arrived at the rocky hill before the thunder approached.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But whether or not there is a place to hide from the lightning depends on our luck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Keep an eye on the rocks and move on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I found it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A slightly smaller cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We looked inside, but there was no sign of life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We also examine the traces around the cave, but there are no signs of large monsters or animals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a good place to start.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We enter the cave and turn on the magic light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The cave is deeper than we expected, and even Ciel has plenty of room to spare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like you found a nice cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola is wriggling around in the bag, so I let her out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's stay here and weather the rain and thunder, shall we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola is hopping around the cave, looking interested.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She seems to enjoy the slight echo of her voice, and her chirping is louder than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ppppp~ ...... ppppppp~'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel shakes his body several times near the cave's doorway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Each time he does so, rain drops splash on him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We've been walking in the rain for quite a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I couldn't protect myself with just my cloak, so my clothes are wet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Leaving them soaking wet could catch a cold, I suppose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I want to make a fire to dry my clothes, but it's dangerous if there is no wind flow in the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stretch out my wet arms and wait patiently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt the wind was flowing well, as if there was a path for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seemed safe to build a bonfire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Relying on the magic light, we gathered branches and fallen leaves from the corners of the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There were some thick tree branches that might be useful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With only thin wood, the fire would go out quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He piled up the fallen leaves and assembled the thin wood on top of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All right!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Take the flint out of the bag and make a spark.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sound of the stones clacking against each other echoes through the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Crackle!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The fallen leaves seemed to have dried completely, and after a few repetitions, I was able to light the fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The branches we picked up were also dry enough to be safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola, be careful with fire. Ciel too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The thin wood seems to catch fire and gains a little momentum.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at it for a while and saw no problem, so I added thicker wood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems to be okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Take out clothes and cloths from the magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wipe my head and go to wipe my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The wet clothes are hung on a nearby protruding rock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This will dry them off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, let's wipe you down a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I approach Ciel with a large cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I touch his fur, it is still a little wet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I slowly remove the moisture with the cloth, but it is quite hard work because of his large body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel looks worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I'm fine. ...... Okay, how about this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I've wiped most of the wet spots.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel also looked satisfied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"P~!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Sola's disgruntled voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For some reason, she is squealing near her bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is she hungry?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it's still early.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I approached Sola, I found a dry cloth near her bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you want to wipe Sola too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P~~~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, he didn't like the fact that it was just Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm feeling a little more selfish now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gently stroke Sola's body with a cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not necessary, though, since it's not wet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good. It's all right now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Boiling water in a pot while adjusting the intensity of the fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a while, a tremendous sound of thunder rumbled from outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P~!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola gets under Ciel's belly with great force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, the thunder she had seen before must have made a strong impression on her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was honestly scared out of my wits, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My body trembles slightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The thunder was continuous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The thunder was quite intense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The rainfall was also quite heavy, and the sound of the rain was terrible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad we found the cave. If we hadn't, we would have ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel seems to think so, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She calms me down by gently licking Sola, who has gotten under my belly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still, it's amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sound of thunder and rain echoing through the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's so intense that it makes me worry about what's going on outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hopefully there won't be any damage."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the rain is heavy, the roads can become impassable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Also, if a fire is started by lightning, it can be dangerous to leave the forest in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Pppu~'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hear Sola's voice, which is very faint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look over and see that she seems to be purring while tucked under Ciel's belly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I like ......, I want to hide too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With the sound of the thunder crashing down with a thud, I became a little envious of Sora.
