The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 19 - [Hunting Activities]

...CHAPTER 19 - HUNTING ACTIVITIES...

...◇◇◇...

It's been a year since then.

Lia and Flam became close friends and I often saw them playing together.

Senka became well known to my family. We're still keeping secrets about Senka in the village.

Senka is also 4 feet tall and has reached under my chin.

Looks like a sister rather than a daughter, when seen by others.

Seeing his rapid development, I did not know whether to be happy or sad..

Then my sword mastery had already reached the level where my father had given up fighting me, as well as my terror and fire magic were already at the Intermediate and Upper levels.

"Ren-kun, that's cool!" Flam with a bright face.

"You can do something like that?!"

Lia looked amazed at the magic I was trying.

"Yes, I can also do not just one."

So what I actually did so that both of them were astonished and amazed was..

Telekinesis.

This skill of mine has leveled up to 4 by using 2 Skill points.

Now I can control objects and can manipulate the direction and speed of the objects I control.

Without me moving my hand like before, I am fully using only my mind.

I can move all the objects I can see.

Four Apples floating around me were proof of how both of them were astonished.

"Is this floating magic??"

"No, it's pure I move it with my mind."

"Ren-kun, Great! I want to be able to do it too!"

"To think you're practicing such a technique as well.."

I was so honored to hear their compliments.

Frankly the power of Telekinesis is a Skill that requires mental strength and natural energy/Ki (Mana). So instead of mental concentration, Mana energy also helps to ease the impact of using Telekinesis on the brain.

Which means, the use of that skill can have a bad impact on my brain if it is excessive.

"Then I can do this too."

The sword on my waist instantly floated above the air and circled around me.

"Whoah!"

"...Mayan."

Flam was amazed to see me doing Telekinesis with a sword, while Lia looked irritated but she also looked amazed like Flam from how her eyes were still staring at the sword I was moving in the air.

"Ren-kun, can teach me!"

"Well, I don't mind either."

Seeing the two seem interested, I could only smile stiffly and say softly.

"Eh, etto.. Later, yeah?"

"Eh? Why?"

Flam looked at me pleading, but I still couldn't. Because the ability of Telekinesis can not be taught, using it once can make the head hurt once and sometimes can faint if excessive.

So this is quite a dangerous ability, but because I have the effects of my degree, Level skill and Level 20 more. I can freely use it without causing any risk like before.

"Moh.. Forgetit. So what do you want Ren-kun to do?" Flam stared at the equipment I was carrying.

"conducted? Hm.."

Actually I intend to go into the forest to start hunting, since herding has moved hands to my cousin who came home from the city and now lives in the village to herd.

"I'll do the daily hunt like yesterday."

""...""

They're a little nervous that confuses me.

"What's wrong?"

The two stared at each other, then Lia said first.

"Uh, no-no, but if you can.. Can we come?" He said nervously.

"Eh? Seriously? Lia too??"

"Why? Aren't you going to take care of me?" Said pouting.

His face flushed red as he said so, looking as though he was trembling as if imposing himself.

"..." - ".Seeing it like that, I hesitated a little

"Can't you??"

"No, it's not like that."

Lia should still have some trauma in the Bloody Forest, so why would she come with me to hunt?

I glanced at the other girl.

"..?"

Then Flam nodded at me, so I sighed and glanced at Lia.

"Kalo Flam can still, but Lia.. Don't you mind going to the woods?"

"What the hell! No problem, I'm coming!!"

"O-OK.."

I was a little scared by how Lia pulled my collar.

So that way, they went hunting with me.

.........

In the Forest.

"Hehe~"

"Senka, you want this?"

"You!"

I was a little jealous to see Senka walking along with Lia.

Gee.. Sucks..

Flam beside her also loved Senka by carrying sweets in the basket she was carrying.

For information, Flam had gotten to know Senka recently when Lia asked her to look at the usual Senka with me.

So now the people who know I have a daughter are increasing.

"...Why are you guys carrying something like that??" I'm confused.

"Why? Isn't necessary?" Lia doesn't seem to be bothering about it.

"..Of course, no! You think we're having a picnic!?"

"Eh? Aren't you?"

Haaa... Seeing Lia and Flam acting like her age was indeed annoying.

They were now 13 and 11 years old, a few years below me. Because I remember what I did at this age, I felt like what I did was in stark contrast to my past.

If I used to be a bit careless and playful that made me not realize how stupid and weak I was to adulthood.

But now it's different.

"Yes.."

I took a breath and walked carefully.

"Ren-kun, over there!"

Flam pointed to the Wild Boar that was running not far from us.

A Wild Pig was chasing a rabbit.

"Shhhhhhhh.. I'll drop it."

I could have broken the neck of the Wild Boar with Telekinesis, but it wasn't necessary.

"OKAY.."

Then he lent me his bow reluctantly, then I picked it up and began to prepare to attack.

"Ren, do you want to use my arrow?" Lia offered her arrows.

But, I shook my head.

"no need. I can do it without it," I began to pull the bow strings.

The moment I pulled the bow, sparks appeared in the middle of the bow and slowly formed into an arrow of fire.

Its bright red color slowly began to darken and get hotter.

The hot flared arrows exerted intense pressure.

Both of them looked stunned and silent.

Then I took it off.

Fwoooooooosh! Blaaashst!

"Pighhyaaakkk?!!"

""...""

The Wild Boar instantly burned on the spot and a mature smell wafted.

The rabbit nearby fled in fear.

So we approached the Pig.

"A ripe?"

"Looks.."

"Hmm, how'd you take her, Ren?"

Lia seemed hesitant to just drag or carry him straight. Because it will end our hunt.

That Wild Boar alone was of medium size and with our size, maybe one person could carry it alone.

So I smiled and looked at my little girl.

"Senka, enter," I said with a smile.

"Good, Papa!"

Senka comically walked towards the Pig and the shadow of the Pig trembled and something came out of the shadow and immediately swallowed the Pig into its shadow.

The horrible scene happened in a few seconds.

""...""

"Good job."

"Yatta!"

The two looked at what happened, while I patted Senka on the head and praised her.

"Let's find another victim."

"Wait a minute."

"Yes..?"

Lia firmly held my shoulder as I was about to leave. He seems to want an explanation.

"What was that..?"

"Eh? Storage magic?"

The faces of both of them looked doubtful.

"What right?"

"Uh.. That's right, isn't it Senka?"

"My! Right!"

"Hmmm.." Lia looked at Senka who cutely hugged my arm, then she looked back at me cynically. Did I do something wrong or something??

"That's it, then move.."

"O-okay."

I went forward with the two of them chatting leisurely behind my back.

Senka went into my shadow again.

.........

"Hmmm.." (Lie)

We finished hunting and headed back to the village.

"What's up, Lia?" I was curious about Lia who looked dissatisfied.

"It's different" he said.

"Different why?"

"Nothing happened?!"

"Eh?"

"Really! I thought there was going to be something scary and horrible!" Flam agrees.

"Yes, I'm as thoughtful as Flam," Lia said nodding in agreement.

Both are somehow like-minded.

"Oh, why do you think that?"

""Because it's the Bloody Forest!""

"Eh??"

What the hell are they saying??

"Haa. doesn't the Bloody Forest have a bloody name?"

"Right, I think so too."

"..You're this.."

They want something challenging. Hm?

Seen not far from the road, I saw some people there.

"Sounds there a problem there?" I stared at the screen above their heads.

"Where?"

"What?"

The two stopped and curiously looked in the direction I pointed.

Up ahead was a group of suspicious looking foreign men.

They seemed to be waiting on the side of the road, but as we got closer.

The group noticed us and one of them shouted for a moment looking at us.

"Boss! Someone is coming!"

"What?! Who're they??"

"Look!"

We can't help but be confused, there are five men acting suspicious.

"They're little kids!"

"So, freeze them and bring them here!"

""yeah!""

There's trouble coming..

"Re-ren-kun?!"

"Ren, enemy! It's enemy!!"

The two of them were frantically hiding behind me.

"I know."

Looks like I'm going to be troubled now..
