Chương 203: Chapter 6: “Mountain of Red Rock Soil”

The deep, deep forest that seemed to last forever finally reached its end. There, the Green Needle Trees that had grown so vigorously seemed to flee, disappearing all at once. The day after Asha was rescued. What awaited the three, who exited the deep green great forest past noon, was a mountain area with good visibility, covered in dark red soil and red rocks.

Esta, having been taught very few words necessary for minimum living and names other than the dangerous Green Needle Trees, doesn't know the name of these red rocks. Of course, neither the outsider Yu nor the innocent Asha knows. From here on is a completely unknown world for the three. Currently, the three were climbing the mountain slope at a leisurely pace. The slope at the foot is still gentle, and there are not many places where the footing is difficult.

Thanks to Yu's constant nursing, Asha was completely healthy now. Walking up the slope backward dexterously facing Yu and Esta, Yu was worried she might trip someday. However, as expected of a wild child, there was no sign of tripping at all. Even in the forest, her movements and footwork were light. Occasionally she started"walking on all fours," so her hands were terribly soiled with dirt.

"A-ta!" Smiling broadly and pointing at herself, Asha said her name. Next, pointing at Yu,"Yu-!" She said. This girl was bravely trying to remember people's names immediately. When Yu responded with a smile, satisfied with it, she turned her finger to Esta lastly and grinned.

"Etta!" And it starts from "A-ta!" again. Since a while ago, she has been repeating this happily over and over without getting bored.

"I'm jealous. Only Yu gets their name said properly." Discontented Esta puffs out his cheeks puku-. Yu laughed helplessly.

"Because it's easy to pronounce."

"Asha. I'm Esta. E-S-TA!"

"Etta!" Asha is pointing at Esta and giggling kyakkya. It seems futile. Esta dropped his shoulders dejectedly.

"Walking backward is dangerous, you know." Esta warns her worriedly. Until then, when it was just the two of them, he was completely spoiled by Yu, but with her joining, a self-awareness that he must be firm as an older brother seemed to have been born. A good trend, Yu watches over warmly.

"A-?" However, the person warned is like this. Yu and Esta decided to stop her only when it was truly dangerous and let her do as she pleased. That, in the end, made her shine the brightest. Yu didn't know how many times his heart was healed by her angel-like behavior. Suddenly, the smile disappeared from Asha's face. Esta wonders what happened. Yu also noticed the presence almost simultaneously, but before recognizing the reason, she moved.

Asha ran soundlessly killing her presence and quickly hid in the shadow of a nearby rock. Yu grabbed Esta and chased after her. Using 《Passtrive》, he jumped to her side. Of course, without sound. Asha chose and picked up a slightly sharp, large stone from her feet. Over there, a beast like a small wolf is visible. Brown fur and perked-up ears were characteristic. It was leisurely eating grass growing between rocks without noticing the three. Asha's eyes narrowed sharply. Hunter's eyes.

Determining the aim, she threw the stone with all her might. It flew drawing a trajectory aimed with perfect control and hit magnificently. Shaking the beast's skull. At the moment its movement dulled, Asha immediately got on all fours and pounced fiercely. From stillness to motion. The switch was too smooth and instantaneous.

When Esta thought Ah, she had already grappled with the beast and bitten off its windpipe with her teeth. Honestly, it wasn't a scene one would want to see much. Yu, who had firmly captured her movements, couldn't find the timing to stop the flowing wonderful movement and ended up allowing the action up to this point silently. Yu put a hand on his forehead, thinking Ouch. As for Esta, perhaps having no resistance to such things, he was honestly impressed.

"Wow..."

"Uwa. Awesome." Pshuu, blood overflows from the beast's neck. Asha turned her face away so as not to get blood on herself, mumbled something, and spat out saliva peh. Saliva mixed with wet fur and flesh fell onto the ground with a potori sound. Almost simultaneously, the beast fell to the ground. Struggling its legs weakly a few times, it stopped moving. Asha licked her lips once and turned back to Yu and Esta. She had returned to her original innocent expression. A brilliant hunting method.

Yu understood why she had been able to survive in the wild until now. It wasn't luck. Yu understood that she lived because she was meant to live. However, her movements were truly a natural gift. But it cannot be said to be a very human-like method. It was close to the way of a beast. It's no wonder that human Yu inevitably thought he didn't want to leave it like this.

"A-! A-!" With a proud smile, Asha was waving to Yu and Esta while vigorously pointing at the prey she killed.

'Translation please.' When Yu called out to"Me" for heart translation.

'She hunted it. Seems like she's saying let's eat together.'

'Just as it looks, huh.' There was no need to translate. In short, she worked hard for the two. Asha came hopping pyon and looked up at Yu with moist eyes waiting for something.

"Good girl, good girl. Thank you."

"A-" When Yu patted her head nade-nade, Asha purred happily. Like a master and a pet dog, Yu couldn't help but think. This state is bad after all. Must fix it. Let's educate Asha. Raise her to be human. Yu decided at this moment. On the other hand, what was sprouting in Esta was another feeling. He admitted that Yu was strong. His body is bigger than his, and he has power. He doesn't understand well, but Yu can do something amazing. He respected Yu.

But he never expected that a child about the same age as him could do such amazing things. While honestly acknowledging her, he began to feel unreliable and a little frustrated about himself. He suddenly felt pathetic about himself who barely survived by picking up nuts and pulling out grass. He wanted to catch up with Yu and Asha even a little.

"Well then. It's about time we get hungry, and the sun is setting. Let's have dinner around here."

"Agreed!"

"A-!" Both Esta and Asha raised their hands in agreement. Yu, who became a woman, cut the meat and squeezed out the blood with magic. Just in case, she lightly analyzed the components for poison, but Asha's judgment was correct. Since the amount was too much for three people at once, the surplus was stored in the World of Heart. Cooking the portion to be made on an iron plate brought out by magic, grilling it carefully.

In nature, grilled meat inevitably becomes the best feast, which was a secret worry, but neither Esta nor Asha seemed to care about that at all. Both of them were drooling juru-juru just by smelling the scent wafting softly. Especially Asha opened her mouth sloppily, making her dress sticky with drool.

"Not yet-. Not yet-."

"Auu-!" Sitting side by side chokon on the prepared chairs, swinging their legs restlessly together, they look like siblings. Smiling, Yu was grinning throughout the cooking.

"It's hot, so be careful."

"Let's eat!"

"A-!" Esta, who spent several weeks with Yu, learned some manners and became a little well-behaved. He picked up a knife and fork and was trying to cut the meat properly to eat. Although tableware was placed for Asha too, she tried to bring her mouth directly while it was still piping hot, so Yu stopped her immediately.

"Here. Aahh."

"A-" Imitating Yu opening her mouth, Asha also opens her mouth wide. There, Yu threw in a piece of meat cooled by blowing on it fuu-fuu. Asha, who chewed mogu-mogu and swallowed gokun. For several seconds, she was dazed as if she lost herself to the first taste.

"A-!" Relaxing her cheeks happily, she raises a high-pitched voice. She seems deeply moved. She opened her mouth wide again and urged Yu with a side glance. Yu was also happy with the honest reaction.

"It was delicious, huh."

"A-" Although not understanding the meaning of the words well, she nods with her mouth open. Yu smiled niko-niko and fed her the second bite.

"Unfair-. I want 'Aahh' too!" Seeing that, Esta also countered and started opening his mouth wide. Together with Asha, he brings his face close to Yu, competing with the opening of the mouth. Don't just pay attention to her, pay attention to me too, probably. Yu understood the feeling well.

"Yes, yes. Can't be helped." Yu forgot her own portion again and fed Asha and Esta alternately. By the time the two filled their stomachs, the sun had completely set.

"Let's take a bath soon."

"A-?" While Asha was looking blank,"It feels good, you know." Esta, the senior, spoke to Asha with a triumphant look. Asha's eyes began to sparkle. Yu created a bathtub with magic and warmed the water as usual. And she, too, was to receive the shock of her life for the first time.

"Okay, that's done." After the bath, Yu cut Asha's hair.

"Yeah. You look refreshed."

"A-" Handed a hand mirror, it took Asha a little time to understand that the reflection was herself, but she realized it while blinking her lovely round eyes. Her hair, which had been growing wild down past her shoulders, was trimmed into a lively short bob. It was Yu's consideration to make it easier for her to move around. Although shorter, the ends were curled to appeal to her girlishness. Yu also changed her into a new dress.

With this, in appearance only, she became a girl who wouldn't look out of place even in a city. Although inside, she is still a wild child. Whether she liked the look or just found it interesting, Asha turned the hand mirror at various angles, her eyes shining.

"You became cute again." Esta also gave glowing praise. Soon, Asha yawned widely. She rubbed her eyes kush-kush. It seems she is getting sleepy.

"Shall we sleep?" Yu called out and created a sleeping bag. Since both Esta and Asha wanted to sleep with Yu, from today, the sleeping bag is sized for three people. Naturally, Yu was in the middle, with Esta and Asha securing both sides. Both of them cling to Yu, spoiled and sweet. When she offered her arms as pillows and pulled them closer, they soon fell asleep breathing softly. Once the noisy duo fell asleep, it was quiet. Yu was gazing at the night sky blankly alone. Guuu, her stomach growled.

Come to think of it, she gave everything to the two, so she hadn't eaten anything. It was such a fun day for Yu that she even forgot about such things. Receiving the warmth of Esta and Asha with her whole body. To the two who trusted her innocently and huddled close, Yu thought, It's like I have a new family. Esta and Asha were saved by Yu, but Yu was also saved by them. Thanks to them, she didn't feel lonely. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling. Eventually, Yu also fell asleep.

Curled up in the cramped sleeping bag, huddling as if seeking each other. The sleeping faces of the three looked truly happy.
