Druid, there's an obitsune in this trap over here too!

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

I think we've succeeded today with all the traps we've set."

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

It has been two weeks since I started hunting by trap.

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

After much trial and error, I finally got the hang of hunting obitsune.

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

We double up the baskets, tie them together with rope, and apply wax to the baskets.

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

The baskets should be made of newer and thicker material.

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

It took me two weeks to figure this out.

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

The information on obitsune in the book was not very reliable.

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

Yes, there was no mention of the strength of their fangs.

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

The cause of the basket's collapse was not the magic of the obitsune, but its fangs.

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

The fangs are sharper than expected and bite through the basket and escape.

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

The book did not describe so much about fangs and did not give much importance to them.

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

Therefore, it took a little time to find out how he escaped.

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

It just so happened that when I used a cage with wax on it, it didn't escape, so I realized it wasn't good with wax.

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

After I got him, I could go and dismantle him.

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

The traps we set were in four places.

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

So there were four obitsune.

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

All of them are quite large, so dismantling them will take some time, and I want to get started as soon as possible.

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

"Yeah."

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

"Nya-un."

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

Ciel holds two obitsune in his mouth and starts walking briskly.

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

The druid and I each hold one and follow her.

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

Thank you, Ciel.

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

My tail wagged fluffy at my words.

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

Recently, Ciel has become quite proficient with her tail.

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

So, unless I make her angry, she will not attack me.

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

Even now, it is wagging happily, but it doesn't make a cloud of dust.

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

When we come to the edge of the river, Mr. Druid takes out a magic item from his magic bag.

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

This is a magic item to assist in draining the blood from the obitsune, which Mr. Druid bought when he realized that it would take a long time to drain the blood out of the obitsune.

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

It is unclear how it works, but when the magic item is placed on the hunted animal with the magic item activated, the draining of blood is completed.

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

No matter how many times I see this magic item, I can't quite figure it out.

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

However, it is very useful.

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

Ciel, please.

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 druid skinned the obitsune and I divided the meat into small pieces.

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

Ciel assists Mr. Druid, who is unable to hold it down with one arm.

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

Ciel holds the obitsune and Mr. Druid uses a knife to skin it.

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

In the past two weeks, they have become much more coordinated, and the skinning time is getting faster and faster.

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

So I also hurry to carve the meat.

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

'All right, done. Thank you, Ciel."

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

At the druid's words, I look up from my concentration on carving the meat.

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

In front of me are two skinned obitsune.

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

Yeah, too fast.

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

Ivy, let me help you.

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

Thanks, you're both too fast."

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

Ciel really does hold down the exquisite, it's so easy to do."

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

Nyan~"

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

Ciel squeals with pride at the druid's words.

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

With that in mind, we continue the dismantling.

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

The meat, divided into small portions, is wrapped in banana leaves and placed in a magic bag with a time stop function to complete the process.

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

I'm done.

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

As one would expect with four obitsune, it takes quite a while.

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

Yes," he said. But thanks to the magic item, it no longer takes so long to drain the blood, so I think this will still be quick.

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

Well, yes.

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

As I was walking from the river toward town, I noticed a familiar presence coming toward me.

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

'Mr. Druid, I think Ashli is here.

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

One thing has changed in the last two weeks.

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

Ms. Ashli has started coming to see Ciel on her days off from work and during breaks.

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

Hello."

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

Hello."

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

The day after that first day, Ashli came to us in the forest with a request.

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

Apparently, having been attacked by demons, her body would freeze up when she saw a demon with strong magical power or a large demon.

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

I grasped this firmly when I encountered Ciel.

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

Even before that, he had been experiencing stiffening when he saw demons in the distance, but he had been fooling himself into thinking it was just his imagination.

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

But when he fainted at the sight of Ciel, albeit unexpectedly, he finally recognized his current situation.

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

He then bowed to me and asked for my cooperation in overcoming it.

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

'So today's work will end in the morning?'

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

Mr. Druid tilts his head at Mr. Ashli, who is in his normal clothes.

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

'Yes, I am. Um, here's something for you."

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

Every time Mr. Ashri brings me something to take with me.

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

I told her I didn't need it, but she pushed me away, saying it was a thank-you for allowing me to interact with Ciel.

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

'Thank you for everything.'

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

No, I am indebted to you."

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

At first, Ashli was concerned about the enormous magical power she could feel from my bag.

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

But, as the druid predicted, he decided that the size of the bag would be safe even for a demon.

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

Also, the fact that I was carrying it seemed to be a reassuring factor.

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

However, he was concerned that the size of the bag did not match the size of the magic power.

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

Therefore, he stared at the bag out of anxiety.

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

'It wasn't interest, it was anxiety?' The druid was surprised.

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

We had intended to make it clear that he was okay by calling out to him when we noticed his gaze, but there in front of us was Adandara, a large demon with enormous magical power.

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

As a result, I fainted.

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

Ashli-san told us with a bitter smile that she was finally able to face her own emotional trauma when that happened.

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

Incidentally, it seems that Ciel's memories of that day, after he returned to Adandara, are a little hazy.

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

It is a wonder that she was able to answer my questions.

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

How was today's hunt?

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

It was a great success, all the traps we set were working."

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

That's great. Congratulations."

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

Thank you."

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

Today, I'd like to share with you our newest treat of the year. It's called 'Paparn.

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

Ashli showed me the inside of a paper bag, and when I peeked inside, I saw that it contained baked goods.

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

The name of the pastry is quite impressive, I think, but many of the pastries in this village have rather exaggerated names.

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

It seems that this is to make them stand out during the festival.

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

Let's take a break.

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

At the druid's words, we all find a place to sit and take a break.

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

Sola rushes forward as soon as Ashli sits on the stump.

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

"Oh, my God. Sola, again!"

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

Sola seems to have decided that Ashli is her playmate, and every time she rushes him, he plays with her.

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

She also plays with him by teasing him at .......

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

'Isn't it about time you got busy?'

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

In a little over a week, the Mae-Matsuri festival will begin.

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

I was surprised to learn that the mae-matsuri lasts for five days, but the main festival will also be held for three days in a row.

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

Moreover, it is said that many people stay up all night during these three days.

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

I was told by a druid that everyone would be in a somewhat strange state on the third day.

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

I am looking forward to the festival, but I am a little scared.

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

I am afraid of the festival," he said. People started to gather for the festival a little while ago, but it's hard because there are a lot of fights. Arbitrating fights is a real pain in the ass."

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

Thanks for your help."

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

After my words, Ciel put his face on Ashli's thigh as if he was laboring.

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

Ashli's body tensed up for a moment.

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

But then she exhaled slowly and gently stroked Ciel's head.

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

I'm getting used to it, aren't I?

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

Yes," he said. I really appreciate Ciel."

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

In the beginning, just having Ciel sitting next to me was enough to make my body stiffen.

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

Still, he tried his best and managed to overcome this.

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

Ciel felt this and really slowly closed the gap between him and Mr. Ashri.

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

Perhaps because of this, he now no longer stiffens when their bodies touch.

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

'Ciel, thank you.

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

Ashri-san slowly patted Ciel's head, and he squinted his eyes and rasped his throat in a pleasant manner.
