Chapter 1-18: Volume 1 - Chapter 18 – THREATENING SIGNS

After two days, Hanna had become completely accustomed to 『Mint』, and was now able to gallop with the limiter released .

Speaking of Jin, because it would be too hard to make one Golem for each house, he created 5 communal Horse Golems . At that time, there wasn’t enough materials from mining, but thanks to Jin’s exclusive Horse Golem 『Koma』, he finished it all in a day needless to say .

「Jin, this horse is great」

「It’s good that we don’t have to feed them 」

「Wow, more than that, their strength is really powerful . Also rather than a normal horse, there are 5 of these」

In any case, the reputation of the Horse Golems was good . By the way, their names are 『Ein』『Zwei』『Drei』『Quatre』『Cinq』 . 1, 2 and 3 in German . And 4 and 5 in French .

Jin’s naming sense seemed to be particular about 3 characters… let’s not say anymore about it . ⚑

Rock and the others came back . In a week of mountain hunting, they literally brought back a mountain of game . Of course, Gen was carrying it .

「Welcome back, Dear . 」

「Welcome back Tou-chan」

「You guys, welcome back . Did you get hurt?」

「Ou, I’m back . Mario, did you grow a little taller?」

「You’re a fool Dear, he wouldn’t change in just a week」

For the first time in a week, the families happily welcomed them back . And they then left the luggage, immediately going to the hot springs to wash away sweat and dirt .

That night they had a large feast of meat . People gathered to Rock’s house and he told them his stories . Of course Jin was also invited .

「Jeez, we sure caught a lot . After going down to the bottom of the valley and waiting, a herd of mountain deer came . It was pretty simple to shoot them . The difficult part was skinning the leather and removing the organs」

「Didn’t any dangerous beasts come out?」

「Aa . Only once, a forest bear had come, but it went back after filling itself from eating some mackerel」

Although grilled meat with a bit of salt was a simple thing, the meat was still exceptional after one week had passed .

「If there’s this much dried meat, it’s plenty enough to last one winter」

「Wouldn’t smoking it be good too?」

When Jin suggested that,

「Smoking? What is that?」

he was asked back .

「Smoking is where you burn wood chips, and then use the smoke from it to dry the meat」

「Hou, is that also a method from Jin’s hometown?」

「You could say that」

「Isn’t it fine? We have plenty of meat, so let’s try that smoking」

So they immediately tried it out the next day . Using the Kueri Tree they cut down from the forest of trees . He had heard that when Spring comes, this tree turns into a white flower blooming tree, 「Is this tree like a sakura tree?」 Jin had thought and decided to test it with this tree .

The result .

It turned out well .

Originally the method of smoking wasn’t to difficult in itself . Because the concept was just burning wood for smoke rather than a flame, then using the heat and smoke to dry the meat .

Having rubbed the smoked meat in salt, they ate the meat right there .

「This is delicious . It makes me want to drink some alcohol」

「You drank plenty yesterday, so no you don’t!」

Such an argument was exchanged and most of the meat was smoked .

In the crowd, Rock was only one with a glum look . Having noticed it, Jin approached Rock and called out to him .

「Rock-san, what are you brooding about?」「Jin huh? I had a bad feeling for how much mountain deer we caught, I was thinking about that」

「So, did you think of anything?」

「Aa . I thought of several things」

Thereupon Jin gave him some advice .

「At these times, if you let someone hear it, then there’ll be more ideas to settle it」

「I see . Then, can I have you listen?」

「What’s wrong?」

There Yang who went together mountain hunting came over, Rock began speaking to the two .

「I was thinking about the reason for why those guys were on the verge of moving, first, a problem with food」

「That’s true, if there’s nothing left to eat then they’ll move to search for some」

Yang nodded .

「Second, when they’re being pursued by an enemy . That would be a pack of Rock Wolf」

「Certainly, they would run away from their natural enemy」

Jin also agreed with the reason .

「Third . For a herd of mountain deer, in the case the herd grows too big, a young deer would make another herd, and they would separate to live」

「However, from all of this time’s game, there was no young deer」

Yang presented a problem with this idea .

「Aa, that’s right . That may happen sometimes by chance, however the most likely one would probably be being pursued by an enemy」

「Is the possibility for food low?」Jin asked Rock who nodded,

「Aa . From the feeling of what we saw, snow hasn’t appeared in the remote mountains where the mountain deer are yet, and the greenery has yet to change from the usual . I wouldn’t think it’s a shortage of food」

「Which would mean…」

It would mean that something, some beast were pursuing them .

Then, Rock leaned forward,

「We can somehow manage mountain deer, but a Rock Wolf is troublesome . They’re nocturnal and their attacks in packs are difficult」

Jin,

「Have any Rock Wolves attacked the village before?」

tried to ask . And Rock shook his head,

「No, I haven’t heard of it since I was born . However, it happened once in my grandfather’s time」

「I see…」

Folding his arms, Jin pondered . Rock,

「Therefore, because I can’t decide what to do, I was thinking about talking to everyone to come up with something」

「Aniki, then shouldn’t we send out a scout to see?」

Yang said .

「Scouting huh? That would be right . This time we will need to go much farther back and see . Yang, you say some good things once a year」

「Chie, that doesn’t sound like a compliment」

「Well then, we should tell the village chief about this」

Jin said, and Rock nodded,「Well let’s do that」

That night, a discussion was held at the village chief’s home, they were deciding who to send from the village for reconnaissance . For preparing a countermeasure of the dangers, Jin placed his opinion in .

Of course, the plan included the Horse Golems Jin made .

It was decided both Rock and Yang would use the Horse Golem for scouting . Departure was in 2 days . In that time, the two would get used to maneuvering the Horse Golem .

And the next day, the two practised .

「O-Owaaa!」

Using the accelerator too much, the Horse Golem reared up and shook him off .

「Gyaaa」

He was thrown forward after suddenly stopping from a gallop .

But though they were covered in wounds, they were both able to master maneuvering a Horse Golem in a day .

「Well then, I’ll be going」

「Dear, absolutely don’t act recklessly!」

「Tou-chan, be careful」

The atmosphere was more tense than the last mountain hunt, the two 『Scouts』 rode the Horse Golems 『Ein』 and 『Zwei』, and headed off to the mountain .
