I’ve been wandering around this forest ever since I was transferred. It’s been about an hour. I did some business in the bushes* on the way, but still, it doesn’t change that I continue wandering. (TN: pooping I guess)
Moreover, my legs are close to their limits. I’m not even wearing shoes, you know? I left it in the shoe box……! I’m moving with my indoor shoes.
I think it’s terrible to let a big fatty walk in this forest for an hour. Can I do something about this? I wonder if that’s the case.
“…… I’m, hungry ……”
Seriously, I’m really hungry. How long have I been moving around like this? Anyway, I’m hungry.
“Is there, something that seems to be food ……”
I look around while saying so, but I can’t find one insect, let alone an animal. Moreover, there are no nuts or mushrooms.
“Ah, am I starving to death?…… I don’t like this!?”
It’s pretty hard to maintain this tension by myself.
“Don’t mess up…… with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
I screamed because I wanted to scream. Otherwise, I won’t feel well. I can’t mislead my hunger.
“Food! Give me some foooooooooooooooooooood!”
I’m already screaming. It might’ve become fun somehow. It might be too late for me.
As I was doing such a stupid thing, suddenly, a nearby bush rustled.
“Food!?”
I turned my gaze towards that bush.
“……Oh……”
In front of me, there’s a huge wolf.
“Awooooooooooon!”
“I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”
I’m not sure what it is, but I dogeza towards the wolf.
That’s because, there’s a 2-meter gray wolf in front of me. I’m scared because its eyes are glaring. The fangs peeking through its mouth are sharp.
Anyway, it’s scary. That’s why, I dogeza on the ground. Since I thought that I was likely to be forgiven by it!
“Garuaaaaaaaaa!”
“That’s right!?”
In the end, my dogeza became meaningless, and the wolf attacked me.
I rolled on the ground as much as I could as I was in dogeza, and I managed to avoid the wolf’s attack.
“Scary!? It’s seriously scary!?”
Dangerous, after moving to this world, I’m glad I took care of my business……! I’m definitely going to be a little better now!
“Garurururururu ……”
The wolf seems to become cautious and took a distance, perhaps because it was surprised that I was able to avoid it. However, in its eye, rather than looking at me as 『Food』 somehow, it’s like it’s saying 『What’s that~?』, and I can also feel the atmosphere of a baby trying to put things in its mouth as if it’s curious.
After all, the wolf’s eyes don’t seem to be full of inquisitiveness!
Or rather, in this situation where I was looking for food, I would likely be fed…… Somebody help me.
Then, perhaps such a wish of mine arrived, this time I heard a rattling noise from the opposite bush.
“Is this my savior!?”
While saying so with my tension MAX, I turned around.
“Garururururururururu ……”
“……Oh……”
It was the second 『OH』 today.
It’s terrible!? No way, a second creature appeared!? I have no escape! I’m definitely dead!
“Eei! If you want to eat me, you can eat! …… it won’t hurt me?”
While screaming at such a thing, I lied on my back face up in a large letter 大 shape. However ––––
“Gaugaa!”
“Gurururu …… won!”
For some reason, the wolves began to fight each other.
“Gaugaugaa!”
“Guruaaaaaa!”
If I try to translate it in my own way.
『Hand over that fooooooooooood! 』
『Who will do thaaaaaaaaaaaat』
That what it feels like.
………
“…… Let’s get out of here.”
I gently moved from the spot at the gap when the wolves were fighting each other.
◇◆◇
“Da,dangerous……”
Gugyururururu ~
My stomach has been screaming for a while now.
After somehow avoiding the dead-end development of being eaten by a wolf and dying, five days have passed.
When I lay idly, I managed to escape from the wolf-like creatures by climbing a tree.
I can’t even drink water in this situation.
Far from the strength to climb a tree, I don’t even have a sufficient power to move my body.
I don’t want the meat of a living thing, but I’m looking for nuts, mushrooms or something, and I continue to wander today.
“……Seriously I, am going to die?”
I have a good reputation for being positive, but only at this time, I was depressed.
It’s tough for me as a fat guy to put up with food for five days.
At worst, I’ll have the weeds growing around here and there, and I’m going to eat the leaves that grow on the trees. Or rather, the soil is fine. Anyway, I want to put something in my mouth.
“…… Ah, perhaps that’s dangerous ……”
When I coughed, the strength inside my body withdrew as it is, and I fell from my face to the ground.
“……”
My face felt numbed and it hurts, but I can’t even afford to worry about it anymore.
“I really have to put something in my mouth ……”
I desperately moved my head, and I eat the ground.
“Gah!?”
I,I see ……
The ground wasn’t soft enough to be reaped between my teeth.
“Everything ……I’ll take, a rest ……”
That was when I coughed and gently closed my eyes.
“……Nn?”
I heard a voice that seemed like a creature that’s making noise. That voice, gradually comes towards me.
『––––ii!』
『––––kiiiiiiiiii!』
『Guruoooooooooo! 』
Raising my face, I look up at the voice.
Somehow, a monkey-like creature with a large amount of fruits was, being chased by a wolf who seemed to be of the same kind that attacked me five days ago, and it was desperately running away.
“Kii! Kiiii!”
“Kyakkyakkya!”
“Guruooooooooooon!”
The monkeys don’t care about me lying on the road, and they passed over my head as it was.
Boto.
At that time, I heard a sound like something has dropped.
“Hah hah hah hah!”
The wolf chases after them. It doesn’t seem to have noticed me.
“Wha what was that?”
But I didn’t have the strength to think.
“At least … if someone’s going to eat me, I would’ve died more easily?”
I just think about that.
But no one will answer my grumble. I’m, all alone.
“Ha ha…..”
Somehow, a smile spilled on me naturally.
Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve had a good life.
I was already been bullied since I was in kindergarten. It lasted until elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
Sometimes I’ll be beaten, some are my things being hidden, scribbled, or being watered down…… There were a lot of insidious and abusive bullying.
Even for me, the reason I was able to be positive just like this, I think it’s because there were people who treated me normally.
It might be a life which is certainly not good. But they treat me normally, talked to me, played with me, touched me…… I think 『Friends』 was the best treasure in my bad life.
So is Hino in the next class. In addition, Shota and Kenji. Kannazuki-senpai and Miu who are in different grades, not to mention classes ……. There were some other people like that in the same grade.
They’re all people who exist on a different dimension from me. Perhaps, I was the only one looking at them as my friends. But…… even so, I was glad that they treated me normally.
Besides, my family was pretty wonderful. But my father and mother died, and my relatives quarreled each other about the inheritance……
I chose to live alone, and preserved their heritage. Ojii-chan became my guardian for the time being.
As a result, I like the fact that I have the inheritance of my parents, and my fat appearance’s ugliness has been polished …… Indeed, I reap what I sow.
What’s not so bad is not life, it’s my existence itself.
“Hahaha … I seriously don’t have the energy ……”
This is, the feeling of death huh…… I don’t like it. Absolutely.
When I die, people who’ll cry and grief for me…… is there like that?
On the other hand, even if I unilaterally think I’m their friend, its’s unpleasant if the other party is different.
“But …… well …… if I die …… I don’t have, any relations …”
As I gradually become less conscious, I dropped my gaze on the ground.
“…… haha …… a fruit, fell……”
In my field of view that is getting narrower, I saw a fruit dropped on the way.
…………………………
…………………
……………
……… Eh, fruit?
“!?”
My consciousness awakened at once.
“I,it’s fruit……”
Yes, what has fallen in front of me, was an unmistakable fruit of a tree.
I don’t know what kind of fruit it is.
But the object, that is brown and looks like a rugby ball, was nothing more than a nut.
Nuts. It is a nut.
The thing, I’ve been waiting for.
It’s food!
“Fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!”
In a reminiscent of a dead on hell, I crawled on the ground all the way to it.
I don’t know where this strength of mine was hidden.
Nevertheless, I put my nails on the ground and crawl on it!
My aim, is the nut in front of me!
Is this the work of my survival instinct? I pushed forward without shame and shit for food in front of me single-mindedly!
“Ooooooooooooooooo!!”
And –––– my hand reached the fruit.
“!”
I firmly grasp the fruit. I grabbed it.
This is my food. I won’t give it to anyone. …… Originally, it was something that a strange monkey had.
I grasped the fruit with extraordinary power. And bring it right in front of me.
Because I put my nails on the hard ground with a lot of force, blood is dripping from the tips of my fingers. Honestly, it hurts.
As I suddenly returned to myself, I tried the skill of 『Appraisal』 on this fruit.
『Fruit of Evolution』
Even after I appraised it, I can only know its name.
The part where its effect is likely to be written was, for some reason, its characters were garbled, like the time when I appraised Aoyama. However, it seems to have no poison. Then, there’ll be only one action to take now.
“……Let’s eat!”
I was, completely in resolution at such fruit of evolution.
It looks brown and looks like a rugby ball, so it seems to be hard. But I wonder if its taste is like almonds? That’s what I thought.
However ––––
“It’s…… bad……”
It has a terrible taste.
It is, also unusual.
Eh, is this the staple food of that monkey? Its tongue, is strange right?
That being said, this is a precious food. I won’t complain. I’ll eat it all.
Normally, I would have decided not to eat it, but I single-mindedly ate this fruit.
While eating, I noticed something.
“……my nails, healed?”
Yes, before I knew it, my nails that were about to peel off were cured.
Besides, I’m sure I haven’t eaten half of this fruit yet, but my stomach is already full.
In the end, I ate all of the fruit of evolution.
“Fu ~ …… it was distasteful!”
It was the moment I said that while rubbing my stomach.
『Activating the effect of the fruit of evolution』
Such a voice, echoed in my head.
Ha? Effect? What’s, that ……
I wonder if something would happen, and I sit still for a while on the spot.
……………….
………….
…….
“There’s nothing!?”
Nothing happened.
You’re kidding me! I checked my status for the time being, but as usual, 1s lined up in a clean line and I didn’t like it! Can I have some complains!?
Well, it’s no use expecting an effect on what I ate one by one. Now that I’m full, it’s time to chew on these two joys of being full and alive.
“Alright…… what am I going to do now ……?”
If I just keep wandering without doing anything like this, the same thing will be repeated.
“Fortunately, creatures live here. If that’s the case, it might be better to approach those creatures first.”
That wolf is scary, but if it’s those weird monkeys, it seems that it’s okay to approach them.
Moreover, to die without moving because I was scared, I definitely don’t want it.
I don’t want to regret it. I want to survive with my willpower.
So, first of all, I’ll get close to that monkey, locate their feeding place and aim to secure food!
“That’s what I decided so…… it’s time to start my action!”
With renewed determination, I decided to start by securing food to survive in this harsh environment.
…… Before I do that, I didn’t forget to take care of my business. It’s just a little!
