What's that?"

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

My sister tilts her head when she sees what I am making.

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

I'm mending baskets for traps.

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

A trap?

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

Yes. If you put them in places where wild rats and rabbits pass by, if you are lucky, they will be caught in the traps.

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

Dad said that there are wild rabbits in the area.

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

I did find traces of small animals.

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

But they were a little different from the ones I had seen elsewhere, so I wasn't sure if they were wild rabbits or not.

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

Can I make it?

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

Of course.

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

I gave her five broken baskets that I had prepared for her.

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

If you can tie a rope, you can make it. But make sure you tie the rope tightly. If it's weak, it will break if the prey gets loose inside.

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

I understand.

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

Stack these five pieces so that they form a beautiful basket, and tie them tightly with the rope.

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

Okay."

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

The sister sitting next to me tilted her head at the two broken baskets, stacking them in various ways.

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

At first, you wonder how to make a beautiful basket shape, don't you?

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

I used to make a pretty bad basket in the beginning, too.

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

Now, I can think of which parts to stack in my head to some extent.

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

But now I can figure out in my head which parts should be stacked on top of each other.　It doesn't form a basket.

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

I give advice to my sister, who is trying her best to make the basket into a shape.

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

Once the basket is in shape, the rope needs to be twisted around the basket to make it stronger.

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

I'm home.

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

Welcome home.

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

Father, who had gone to look for a place to set the trap, came back.

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

"Did you find any good places?"

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

"Yeah, I found a few places.　Oh, it's coming along nicely."

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

He was holding the finished basket and checking its strength by putting a little pressure on it.

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

It looks good.

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

Yes, I think I made it well. I think I did a good job.

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

This time, we were able to make a trap with a little more strength because we had found a rope at the dump that had not deteriorated too much.

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

I looked at Sora's cry and saw her peeking out from one of the finished baskets.

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

He looked at us from inside the basket and had a satisfied expression on his face.

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

He looked at me and said, "Sora, those are traps we use for setting things up. Don't play with it."

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

A reply returned in disapproval.

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

You can't squeal like that. That's a trap we use for trapping."

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

'Pfft.'

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

Sora takes her body out of the basket a little and looks at the basket with Tron in it, which is placed beside me.

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

Then she squeals in disapproval.

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

Sola, aren't you jealous of Tron?　Because you are using the basket with only Tron."

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

What?

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

I look at Tron.

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

It's true that the bag that Sora and the others are in is the one that was purchased exclusively for Sora and the others.

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

Do you want Sola to use the basket, too?

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

I guess she is jealous of the fact that Tron has his own bag.

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

Oh, that's how it is.

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

It's true, you use a basket only for TRON.

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

At first, he looked so fragile, so I made him a basket so he wouldn't be crushed.

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

I gently look at his feet.

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

Tron is sleeping comfortably in the basket.

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

Come to think of it, he's sleeping a lot today.

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

Since we killed the tree that had the tree demon disease, Tron's trunk has gotten just a little bit thicker.

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

But it is still very thin, which makes me feel uneasy.

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

It's hard to make one for Sola, isn't it? If we make one for Sola, Flem and the others will need it, too.

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

I agree. It would be difficult to make one for each of them.

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

What should we do?

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

Dedicated to each, huh?

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

Oh, what about a place to sleep?

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

Bunks?

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

Yes. Since it's impossible to put them in a bag, I'll make a special bed for each of them in a basket.

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

When I looked at Sola, I could see that she was looking at me.

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

I can't make a bag for each of them, but I can make a bed for each of them.　I can't make a special bag for you, but I can make a special bed for you.

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

Sora squeals happily.

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

I wonder if she really wanted something exclusive for herself that badly.

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

Teryu~?"

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

Flem looks at me as if peeking.

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

Next to him is Sol.

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

Of course, I will make a special bed for both Flem and Sol.

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

I'll make a special bed for both Flem and Sol.

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

"Pheh-pheh-pheh..."

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

I'm glad.

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

I'll be able to fulfill everyone's wishes somehow.

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

I've been indebted to you in so many ways.

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

I want to do what I can.

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

"When we get to the next village, we'll need to get materials. Shall we start thinking about what we're going to make?

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

Yes.

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

Sola and her friends are so beautiful and cool.

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

I'm looking forward to making them.

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

Done."

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

Sis's first trap was completed.

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

It's a little bit of a snug cage, but I think it'll be okay, since it's got a rope to give it strength.

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

"Do you think this will work?"

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

When the father received the basket from his sister, he applied a little force to it as he had done earlier.

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

The rope is helping the basket to twist.

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

I think it will be all right. Good job."

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

I look at my sister, and she is plucking her arms.

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

I wonder how much strength it takes to tie it tight.

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

"All right, let's go set the traps."

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

Dad leads the way, then Sis and I.

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

Sola and Flem and the others walked around us.

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

There are traces of wild rabbits around this tree.

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

I looked in the direction that my father was pointing, and sure enough, there were tracks with droppings on them.

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

I look closer and see that there are many footprints and droppings around the tree.

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

I like this place. This place.

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

Isn't it?　There are few footprints of demons, and it's a good place to go.

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

"Yeah. Let's do it here.

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

I gather dead leaves, twigs and branches to hide the traps with my sister.

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

With both hands full of what we had gathered, we went downstairs to father, who had already finished setting up the cage and had nothing left to do but to hide it.

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

I thought, "This much should be enough, right?"

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

'Oh, thank you, Ivy and Marya.

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

The cages were placed on top of the dead leaves and twigs that had been brought in.

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

When the entire area is covered with dead leaves and twigs, the installation is complete.

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

The cage is now completely out of sight. Okay, we're done."

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

I go to take a peek at the trap Sola has set.

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

"Watch out!"

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

She plays tricks, but I don't think she'll do anything to the trap, but I call out to her just in case.

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

But I do not think she will do anything to the trap, but I call out to her.

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

Sola squeals a little in disapproval.

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

I pat her head because she is cute.

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

She looks so cute that I pat her on the head.

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

What is it?"

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

I feel something and turn my gaze to the surroundings.

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

I look around the area to find out what it is.

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

If something that bothered you was a sign of a demon, you must take care of it immediately.

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

What's wrong?"

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

Something is bothering me."

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

Ah, it's a sign.

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

It's not a demon, and it's not an animal.

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

This is the sign of ...... someone!

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

It's like someone is approaching us.

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

What?

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

The sister's complexion turned pale all at once.

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

Let's hurry back to the tent.

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

We put away the tools we brought to set the trap and hurry back to the tent.

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

What is it?

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

It was still far away, but I could read its presence.

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

Why?

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

And I feel like I know this sign.

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

Where was it?

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

What's wrong?

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

It felt like a familiar presence.

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

You do?

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

I was still reeling in the distant presence.

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

Yes, I knew it.

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

It's someone I met recently.

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

It looks like their presence.

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

They must be sending a sign from the other side to let me know.

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

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to read their presence so clearly from this distance.

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

"Dad, I think it's probably Mr. and Mrs. Zinal.

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

What?　Zinal?

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

I nodded in response to my father's surprised voice.

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

I never thought I would see them again so soon.

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

Ah, I look at my sister.

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

If she finds out that I got myself in trouble, she might get angry.
