Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 2: Hunting (Part 2)

"Well, we have arrived" said Otomura.

"This is the place?" ryugai said as he turned his neck 180 degrees, looking in all directions. Seen a large expanse of green grass stretched wide across the vast blue sky decorated with clouds and a large ball of dazzling gas, namely the Sun itself. Some trees stood, far away from each other, but they looked very sturdy. In the distance, the mountains that pamper the eyes are visible. The game animals were seen grazing in the distance.

"Beautiful too" murmured Ryugai. "Much different than on earth. It's still pretty cool here, yeah."

"Hey, hey. You like to enjoy the view, don't you?" Otomura Goda. "I thought you were dead so you couldn't admire the natural scenery as beautiful as anything."

"Whisper, ah," ketus Ryugai. "You want me to kill? There's a bow and an arrow in my hand, no."

"Iiihh~~ takuuttt~~"

"Shut up, ah."

"Oh. By the way, you were hunting for the first time, weren't you? Let me show you how." Suddenly, Otomura stepped forward, sneaking closer to the herd of deer while raising his head pretently like a senior. The distance with Ryugai was now about a meter. He hid in a nearby bin, then put his arrows on the bowstring and stretched the rope. "It just so happens that there's one deer that goes into the scope of my arrow."

*zratt!!*

Along with that voice, the arrow shot out from Otomura's bow and stabbed the deer in the neck. The deer fell down with blood pouring down from his neck. The other deer that her herd and were grazing nearby immediately ran away.

"Haha!!! How about that? The others ran away, but got at least one." Othomura exclaimed with pride. "Hows it? I'm cool, aren't I? Ryu"

*zrat!!* *zrat!!* *zrat!!* *zrat!!* *zrat!!* *zrat!!!*

Both of Otomura's eyes widened. The five elk who were about to flee fell down with blood rushing from the neck. The young man immediately looked back, where Ryugai was. Ryugai was holding his bow with his left hand on the bowstring while smiling with satisfaction. From the pose and face alone, we can already know that he was the one who shot the arrows earlier.

"If they're left running, they won't come here again. It's a pity, isn't it, if five heaps of meat run?" ryugai to Otomura. He moved his feet closer to the man.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHH??!!!" Otomura. He cried out loud.

"Woi, lower your voice. Later the hunted animals near here all run away," Ryugai said.

"Ka-Ka-You're shooting everything?! Out of reach of my arrows?! Grrh!! I can't let it!! Ryugai, we're fighting!!!" challenge Otomura. "I'll use magic!!! Who gets the most animals, he's the winner!!!"

"Magic, huh? So there's something like that here" Ryugai said.

"Eh? There's nothing in your home country?" Otomura tilted his head in confusion.

"Nothing" Ryugai said. "Oh, yeah. Before the match, I wanted to ask you something. You have magic to disguise existence?"

"Eh? Of course not!! If there was, I would have worn it before!! I shouldn't have bothered to sneak around and hide if I had magic like that!!"

"That's right, too" Ryugai said. "Then, is there a place with mud puddles here?"

"Eh? Masa' you want a mud bath ...."

"Are you stupid or what? It's not. Mud can make our smell so faint that our existence is not smelled by game animals."

"Eh? Really true?"

"of course. You ever learn no, anyway? Or here you've never known about it?"

"Of course not yet!!"

"When in the country where I was born, this technique has been found since millions of years ago, you know."

"Eh?! Millions of years ago?!"

"Yes, even before humans knew writing."

"Eeehh?!!"

Odomura: you yourself do it here, back to the Plot Creation room -_-

Author: yes yes :v)

———————————————————————————————————

"Arrow Rain."

Right after Otomura said that, a light blue magic circle directly rained down on a flock of bulls, finishing them all off in an instant. The arrow melted into a light blue liquid which then vanished. Now, only the remains of the bulls that drain fresh blood are dark red.

"So that's what magic is?" Ryugai stared enthusiastically while dragging a sack containing pieces of hunted animal meat. His body was covered in mud.

"of course. Is there nothing like this in your home country?" ask Otomura. His body also seemed to be covered in mud.

"No." Ryugai shook his head slowly.

Otomura smiled and put on an annoying face. "Weak country, yes."

"Yes, yeah. Whatever you want to say. By the way, the number of animals we hunt is now balanced, right?" ask Ryugai.

"Eh? Yeah ...."

"Then, it's the deciding round" Ryugai said. "It's my turn now, isn't it? Let me show you my abilities." The disheveled blue-haired youth placed his bow on the grass and turned his body around. Looks like a group of deer were grazing meters in the distance, in the opposite direction to the body of the bull herd.

"You want to kill him with an arrow? Ahahahaha!!!" Otomura laughed out loud, impressed with disdain.

Regardless of Otomura's laughter, Ryugai sneaked closer to the herd of deer that also numbered five. Unfortunately, it turned out that the herd was quite ingenious. They realized Ryugai's whereabouts and immediately fled.

"Damn. Though I have smeared my body with mud so that my smell will not be smelled" Ryugai grumbled. "If it's like this, what can you do!!"

Ryugai ran as fast as he could and caught up with one of the deer in just a few seconds, then jumped on the deer's back and rode it. Seeing that, Otomura could only be dumbfounded as he silently fixated on where he stood.

"Don't think you can escape me!!" ryugai exclaimed as he stuck his arrow into the neck of the deer. The deer instantly lost its balance, then began to stumble many times, leaving the Ryugai above him shaken. Regardless of the intense shock, Ryugai took another arrow from the rattan cylinder bag tied to his back, then started aiming at another deer trying to escape.

"If it is shaken like this, it is very difficult. But, if the shocks are regular and have a constant rhythm like this ..., I can estimate the right angle so that my arrows hit his body!!"

"You won't be able to escape me!!!" ryugai exclaimed as he threw his arrows one by one towards the deer that tried to escape, and hit their necks fiercely!! The animals were instantly uprooted and could only lament their unfortunate fate. Deer ridden by Ryugai was no longer able to withstand the burden and eventually fell. Sighing with satisfaction, the young man stood up and exclaimed to Otomura.

"Hey, golden hair!! It looks like we don't need to hunt for the next few days" he said, lifting the carcass.

"My name is Otomura, you know!!!" otomura Reply.

"Yes, yeah. Whatever. By the way, the leather sacks are still a lot, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good, it means it's gonna fit."

"Ah, but that's not necessary. Everyone in this village has been learning inventory magic since he was fourteen years old" Otomura said with a grimace and scratched the back of his head. "Goddess ...."

"IN THAT CASE, WHY DIDN'T YOU USE THAT FROM EARLIER?! IN VAIN, DONG, I PACKED ALL THE PIECES OF MEAT IN A SACK AND DRAGGED IT??!!! IT'S HEAVY, YOU KNOW!!!"

"Ehehehe, sorry ...."
