Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E84] Fishing and Relation

"Had the squirrel jumped would have fallen too."

*****************#####*****************

The state of the central region at night is not much different from the outer region. Although there were no dormitories or cafeterias at the venue, no students protested.

They have their own arrangements in matters of consumption. Where if a middle region student wants to eat then they have to catch it themselves by hunting in the forest. The same is true in the inner regions.

Therefore most middle region students will go to the cafeteria in the outer region as well as spend the night there. They will go to eat then go to sleep and the next morning back to activities as usual.

The habit has become the daily routine of middle region students. Therefore many of them left the middle region so that the atmosphere in the place became pitch silent.

Even so the central region did not really die. The area will be active again at night because most inner region students will go out and do activities at night on the training field in the central region.

Because Dusk does not have access to the inner region, he deliberately waits for the inner region students to come out by themselves.

"I hope Muna will calm them down wisely." exclaimed Dusk who recalled the incident two hours ago.

At that time when Dusk was cool around the area around the mission building, Muna suddenly approached her. Muna came because the time for the promise to return home had arrived.

But at that time Dusk reasoned that he had found several seniors who indicated as owners with the number 46.

The suspicious Muna did not easily let go of Dusk. Nevertheless Dusk carefully explained the reason why he could not return. With a long negotiation, Muna finally agreed.

But Muna asked for one condition so that Dusk always gave himself news every hour. At first it was 30 minutes once but Dusk managed to convince Muna to contact him at least once an hour.

After all the conditions were met, Muna rushed to meet her other best friend. He then dragged them out and explained the entire chronology after they returned to the dormitory.

"Well whatever the result they will not be able to return to this place at night." Inner Dusk while looking at the seniors who are training on the field of battle.

Not only were the seniors who were training for sparring even in the area outside the gate there were so many seniors who were hunting wild animals to eat.

Those who saw this felt very interested. He then descended from the tree while activating teleportation magic towards the forest that was outside the gate.

Arriving there Dusk can see animals running here and there. They wandered in all directions to escape from the pursuit of the students.

"You know what, they can't hunt quietly." grumbled at Dusk when he saw a deer flying over his head.

Dusk was already quite traumatized because Amir had once done the same. It was just that at that time what he was flying about was a human and not an animal.

But still Dusk still feel nauseous when he saw the animal flying in all directions. He decided to catch them and put them in his sub-space bag.

After he managed to enter three deer, Dusk was thinking of an interesting idea that he thought would be very powerful in binding the seniors.

With a cheeky Smile Dusk then began his plan. He roughly pulled the dagger in his uniform pocket before throwing it at one of the rabbits flying towards him.

On the other hand, the forest of seniors who are hunting animals feel there is something strange. They saw most of the animals running towards the middle of the forest at the same time.

Suspectingly, they decided to go deeper. Although the outside looks safe but the inside is not much different from the forest in general.

There are so many wild animals and monsters whose strength is stronger than the monsters that often roam around the gate.

The monster was on average in grade E and D which even to hunt the animal required at least one party containing five people with three of them level 7 and two others level 8.

"Do we really have to go in there?" ask one of them who looks nervous.

"We can't go back with this." replied an oval-faced man with eyes and hair that was as black as the night sky.

"Sam, we don't know what's going to happen there. I think this will be enough." said the woman who also disagreed with the decision of the man called Sam.

"No, we've not had two days of consumption. If this continues then we won't be able to hold on much longer" Sam replied unhappily. It is clear here that Sam is the leader of the party.

"But I tell you I can get out" cried the woman back.

"Are you stupid? We can't even leave this place if we don't want the mission to be taken over by someone else." cried another colleague who was upset.

Currently they are carrying out one of the conditions for mission retrieval. Where the mission requires them to have survival skills. This is because the mission will last for two weeks without food supplies except hunting.

"Damn, why do we have to take this mission anyway?" ask the woman annoyed.

"Foolish base, it's all because of you we're late for another mission" shouted the man who had previously argued with the woman.

"I? Huh what? Try repeating again?" the woman shouted equally upset.

Sam always the chairman could only shake his head at the behavior of his party colleagues. Because it did not happen once or twice, it had happened every time they met and did a mission.

When Sam was busy thinking about what decision he would take as chairman without having to harm the two colleagues, he suddenly heard a loud scream coming from inside the forest.

To the shock of Sam and his four comrades staring at each other. They looked confused as well as worried by the sound of the scream.

"What was that? Did I hear wrong?" asked the woman who was involved confused on her face.

"No, I heard it too." replied the fellow man who had been fighting with him.

"We all heard it too" continued another colleague who had been silent since.

"I think we're har..."

KY....!!

KYA....!!!"

Sam's words came to a halt as the voice of the shout once again resounded loudly. Without a second thought Sam and his four companions immediately entered the forest. Those who were initially hesitant now began to look frantic in a hurry to run closer to the origin of the sound source.

"Carla, tell the academy immediately." cried Sam but unfortunately Karla had run ahead of him to the origin of the sound.

Not only Carla even the other three colleagues also ran in tandem with Carla. Seeing this made Sam panic.

Sam knew that it was the voice of a young girl who sounded quite panicked and alarming. So it's only natural that his partner chose to run without bringing his instructions closer first.

Honestly speaking it would be safer if the academy side were with them. But Sam also thought if they were a little late it was possible that the young girl would be found dead when they arrived.

So the five of them hurried away without concern for themselves. Though initially two of them seemed hesitant to enter the forest but after hearing the scream they without a second thought immediately ran there.

The young girl looked so pale with blood patches spreading around her face and clothes area. He looks so chaotic but strangely Sam and his four colleagues can see the high spirit of life from both eyes of the girl.

"Luckily we still had time to save him." Sam's inner being told his partner to protect the girl while she killed the monsters around her.

"So this is the reason why the animals chose to flee into the forest" exclaimed Carla who began to understand the situation.

"Hey brother, are you okay?" ask Carla later.

"I, I am good." replied the twilight while standing from the fall.

"Good, then put this on."

Carla then handed over her cardigan to wrap the twilight body that shook from the cold. He then washed his face with cleaning technique.

"Eh..," lirih Dusk was shocked.

Looking at the already clean face of Dusk, Carla looked a little relieved. He then re-examined the condition of Dusk's body while healing him from the scratches during the fight.

"How did you get here, brother?" Asked one of the men who had fought back against them.

"That's, I'm actually being...."

"Just explain it again later when we're out of this forest." cut Sam firmly.

He then opened a way out for them to get away from the place. He brought along and two of his other comrades fighting on the right and left sides to be able to make a safe exit.

While Carla skillfully gave buff to them. That buff keeps the body of Sam and two colleagues healthy and energetic during the fight.

"Oh so this is the real party." Inner Dusk when he saw the tank that was fishing the enemy and the guardian who was blocking the attack from the enemy that attacked from the blunt point.

"This party has a perfect composition, but unfortunately they lack a witch." continued Dusk in his heart.

Looking back they lacked a long-range attacker. If only they had snipers or archers then the fight would be finished quickly.

But even so they were finally able to get out of the forest safely. As soon as he reached the gate immediately Dusk was reviled by various questions. Even twilight explained the situation.

"At first I wanted to go home, but it was a pity that I was lost when looking for a way home." exclaimed Dusk slowly.

Dusk looked so sad, he involuntarily shed his tears. Carla who saw this immediately pierced Sam's stomach with her elbow then wiped the tears of Dusk warmly.

"It's not your fault, you're just worried about why you're there" Carla said in a soothing tone.

"That, I was actually very hungry and at that time I saw a lot of seniors who were hunting so I decided to do the right thing..."

"Wait, what did you say? Senior?" ask Carla's colleague who later.

"Yes, senior." replied Dusk which immediately grabbed her shoulder tightly by Carla.

"You, don't tell me you're one of the midterms?" ask Carla later.

Dusk timidly smiled innocently, he did not answer Carla's question but did not dispute it either. Seeing such Twilight behavior made Carla and her other comrades involuntarily startled.

They frantically looked at each other before finally letting out a long sigh that felt like it had been held back for a long time.

"You're really lucky, you know, if we're not in between maybe you'll die soon."

Sam then explains how the current situation of the forest is. They did not even dare to go deeper into the forest but Dusk bravely hunted there.

"But they ran there earlier," replied the innocent twilight.

"Geez, this kid really needs to be taught." exclaimed Carla as she shook her head.

"Sir, are you looking for someone?" ask Sam.

"Right, did senior know him?" ask Dusk while handing over the senior escort's back number.

Sam and his four colleagues looked at each other's back numbers but they didn't know him at all. They look confused by looking at each other.

"Sorry, we don't know."

He looked sad, he didn't know what else to do. Sam and Carla who saw the sadness in the twilight eyes immediately comforted him. Unfortunately Dusk was not entertained by them at all.

Seeing that Sam also took the initiative to bring Dusk to the inner region. But before that he needs to discuss with his other colleagues.

They also covered briefly at the corner of the gate and told Dusk to first enter the central region. Even after dusk, he did not know what they were going to discuss.

"Well, maybe they still want to hunt" murmured Dusk softly.

After seeing the departure of Dusk, Sam and his colleagues discussed. Some agree and some do not. The final decision is in Carla's hands. Unfortunately, Carla did not agree.

He argues that Dusk is still too early to enter the central region. And isn't it a personal matter of Dusk in finding the senior and they have absolutely no share in it.

With a heavy heart they entered the middle region and wanted to meet Dusk to convey their final decision. As he was about to speak Dusk casually took out some deer that he had caught earlier.

"Senior, this is for you. I feel pity because I have your hunting time reduced." exclaimed Dusk while giving up the three deer he caught.

As the party fell silent, they looked at each other with pity. They think how good it is to give up the animal when they cannot help it.

"I saw you guys back earlier, must have been very difficult because the animals have been many who entered the middle of the forest." continued Dusk later.

"Well anyway I already have a lot of Disni," Inner Twilight while shaking her sub-space bag.

When Dusk was about to leave, Carla suddenly pulled her wrist and said the thing that made her party surprised instead of playing.

"Follow with us" exclaimed Carla with a stern facial expression without rebuttal.

Seeing that Sam and his other two colleagues nodded. Dusk who saw that could only smile happily because his plan had succeeded.

"Food is indeed the best way to conquer a person," the inner Twilight with its eyes shining sharply.
