Chapter 3

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

I prepared my equipment until noon.

The fish trap was sunk, and a trap was set up in the rabbit’s path, so the rest I had to do was wait for the result. The only problem left with food procurement should be plant harvesting … but the problem is that I don’t know if the plant is poisonous or not.

Some berries are similar in appearance and toxic, and mushrooms are also difficult to judge.

If I don’t have the knowledge, I shouldn’t do anything unnecessary. However, it is necessary to collect food, but would I be able to judge what can be eaten?

The only thing I can say is edible are bamboo shoots and coconuts which are likely to be collected.

Then what about seafood? Shellfish is also … is it okay? It should be. It would be nice if I could catch freshwater clams and Asari, but will I find it if I dig the beach?

No, shellfish also have toxic patterns. A place where you can safely dig clams can only be done because a survey was conducted before it was done … There is no reason to do such a survey in such a place, and it is a huge gamble for me.

“I wish I had sweet potatoes or potatoes …”

Because I know how get rid of the potato’s poison at an Ok level. I would like sweet potatoes to be grilled with stones to make them sweet and fluffy.

However, whether there is such a potato in this area. To find it, I have to go into the gaps between the trees and search. And it’s risky no matter how I think about it.

“For the time being, lets make a torch.”

I can eliminate a lot of things with fire. If i’m not careful enough, it could cause a fire. However, there are many merits, and the most important thing is that animals are afraid of fire.

It’s not an incidental thing, but grass and mugwort that protect against insects, but if you have them, you can burn them with the fire of a torch.

It should also be an insurance to some extent, just like a protective talisman.

However, there is not enough material to make a torch.

I have a stick, but I don’t have cloth … I think I can prepare dead grass, and I can get pine resin because there are pine trees around, but I can’t wrap it together because I don’t have a piece of cloth.

At present, if I apply pine resin to the tip of firewood, I can light it.

Ah! I just had a great idea. What if I create a weapon with it burning at the tip? If I do it, I think it’s a bamboo spear. It’s a burning spear or a burning rod, but it is still usable.

“Well, there are still sweets and coconuts, so let’s raise the standard of living?”

However, bamboo can be used as a substitute for plates and chopsticks. It can also be a kettle, so thanks to the bamboo, it’s a lot easier. So, do I make a home with roofs and walls instead of food? No, that requires a lot of effort. I’m just student and a person who is not confident in his strength but I will still build it.

But do I have to do a lumberjack-like job? Using this stone ax? Unless it’s a more decent ax, it’s not something I can manage with such a poor made ax.

I was just a little curious, so I decided to hit a tree with the stone ax.

Gunnnn! The ax bounced of the tree. No matter how you look at it, all I did was to lightly scrape the bark of the tree. Looking at this amount of damage, I wonder how many times I need to hit with this ax to cut the tree. (TL: That’s a lot of damage)

It seems I am lacking the strength and the quality of the tools. A single hit is enough to judge that.

I can only use wood from branches that are easy to get and rotten trees. I can’t use those for a wall because the quality is bad and it’s not thick enough.

“This is terrible. There’s not much I can do unexpectedly? Do I really need to search inside the forest?

If rescue comes soon, it would be good to wait here.

However, my smartphone has no signal. Rather, considering the situation of coming to this place, it would be wrong to expect me to be rescued.

It is important to take some action to survive. As long as that is the case, it is still necessary to go search in the forest.

Why do I need to go explore? There may be places that can be said to be safer than here and caves that can withstand the rain and wind.

As for food, there may be something well-known that you can eat inside.

“But scary things are scary … like going through this forest.”

Confront the threat of nature. How many people can gather their courage in a land without equipment, and in an utterly unknown land?

Even if my legs refuse to go in the forest, it’s just a natural reaction. Yeah, it’s definitely something that can happen to anyone, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
