Chapter 31: Troublesome Guys
“Shiro-kun, your meat is starting to look good.”
For the umpteenth time, we loitered down the road.
Shiro-kun, who is a serious person at heart, is feeling annoyed because the journey is not progressing.
No~ Matsutake mushrooms pass right in front of me! → Whoopee! If we continue to do this, we won’t make any progress.
During lunch time, we had a long discussion about whether Shiro-kun could change his body size or not, and again, no progress was made.
Size? Yes, He could change his size. To the size of a large dog. I was so excited that I petted him all over.
Shiro-kun also realized that he could eat a lot more food if he was smaller, and he was happy.

While walking through the forest, we came across a straight-through path(?) where trees and the ground had been gouged out. It was like an unnatural tunnel that had formed in the forest. ‥‥‥‥
─────Oh, no? This is ‥‥‥‥.
“Isn’t this after their escape? Are they still alive?”
“‥‥‥‥, I think they’ve got some sore muscles.”
───── maybe.
The carcass of a red wolf, covered with shoe prints, lay in the bushes.
Doing things like this, time passes, and we finally arrive at the riverbank, where I prepare dinner.
The fish that Shiro-kun caught smelled so good. This makes me want salt and other seasonings.
While I was thinking about this and watching the fish being cooked, Shiro-kun said that there was something that bothered him about what happened yesterday.
“do you know those magical beasts around the humans?”
“Yeah, there were all kinds of them. We put them all in the hole, remember?”
Ad
There were all kinds of things around at that time, from four-legged beasts to imps standing on two legs. Was the two-legged one a goblin by any chance? I don’t care, they weren’t cute. What about them? I asked back.
“I can definitely smell something, but I don’t see them. They hadn’t fallen into the hole either.”
“───── who are those guys?”
When I point to a beast I’ve never seen before, I say that I don’t know, I’m new to this world.
“They have black-gray hair, red eyes, and they’re noisy.”
“I see. I don’t know.”
Hey, Shiro-kun, I told you I’m a beginner. I don’t understand with an explanation like that!
“They”, Does that mean they’re in a herd?
While I was thinking that, the display popped up.
“I think what Shiro-kun is talking about is “Grey Monkeys.””
Ad
It’s been a while, Navi. And you are still kind to Shiro-kun, aren’t the?
“Gray monkeys are gregarious. They act in groups to intimidate others, and they crave dead flesh. They speak, but they are not conversational.”
Oh, the “navigator” explained something to me.
“a group of people wanting dead meat is kind of troublesome ‥‥‥‥”
“Those guys, they’re weak, but they sometimes try to mess with us. They come in groups, throw rocks and stuff, use their intelligence in strange ways, are noisy and ───── annoying.”
────── Shiro-kun said they were annoying .
” weak? And yet they’re picking a fight with Shiro-kun and me?”
“They think that if they eat the flesh of strong people, they will become strong. Mother told me.”
Is this a group mentality? Or are they trying to push It with numbers?
“They’re strangely intelligent. Maybe that weird smell didn’t affect them, or maybe they were just watching from a distance. Either way, the thought of them being nearby makes me angry.”
Shiro-kun snorts and smolders angrily.
How cute is that? I suppressed my desire to stroke him and tried to pick up the meat that had become nice and cooked.
“now, now, Shiro-kun. The meat is just about done─────”
─────There was a thud in the stove, and the meat I was about to take was crushed under a stone.
While I was stunned, more stones fell, and this time the fish was trapped underneath.
─────Me and Shiro-kun’s dinner!
