Kamisama no Kago wo Kyohishitara?! Chapter 539

539 Seeking Peace

 

I camped out in the open. After setting up the tent, I looked around for edible wild plants.
And got a whole lot of them. It's a verdant forest for sure. The thought of living here crossed my mind.
But I quickly discarded it.
I want to live in a house like a normal human. Yes there's enough food in this forest to sustain me.
But where do I sleep? I don't want to live forever in a tent.
My past life experience gets in the way of living like a wild man.
I might have taken it better if only I was born in the wild in this world.
But I grew up in a village and raised like a human. So will I live my the rest of life.
I don't want to become a feral man.

"That'll be my very last resort. I still have attachments. Gotta find a way to lead a secluded life somehow... Man, it'll be hard no matter what..."

I tucked away that despair in the corner of my mind.
I can just imagine everything falling apart instantly no matter how meticulous my planning is.
I frantically averted my sight from that realization as I put bear meat into the pot. Once the juice meat started flowing out, I put in the wild plants.
I stirred the pot and the meat let out a nice aroma, stirring up my appetite.

"Haa, it smells so good. Think I need to eat more than just meat though. Ah, I crave white rice..."

My mental state is that of a Japanese person still.
I may have gotten used to this world's food but I can't help craving for white rice every now and then.

I got too absorbed gathering the wild plants, it was already evening by the time I realized.
I was gonna look for more but stopped myself to secure enough time for cooking.
It's getting darker by the minute. I fetched the table, portable toilet and all the usual camping set.
Gotta finish my meal before it's completely dark out.
I put the cooked bear meat and wild plants on my plate and muttered 'bon appetite' before working my way on them.

I rubbed my belly while saying, 'I'm stuffed'. The surroundings are still barely visible. I only need to wash a plate and a pair of chopsticks.
It was completely dark by the time I was done with the clean up. I looked up into the sky before I went inside my tent.

"Uooo~. You don't see a scenery like this often even in that world."

The stars and moon feel so close. It's panorama of the great mother nature. Planetarium.
I breathed in the night air before crawling into my bed.
Before that, I asked griffon lying next to my tent.

"Wake me up if anything dangerous comes. Actually, feel free to if you sense anything amiss."

The sleepy looking griffon replied with a 'Kuwa'.
I deciphered that as 'Got it' and went to sleep in peace.



The following morning, I got woken up by the harmonious chirping of songbirds amid the stillness.

"Haaa~ ha! That was some quality sleep. There was no incident it seems. That's good."

Everybody wishes for a good night sleep. Nobody wants a rude awakening.
I know I get 'Unrest' within me, so I always sleep while hoping to get a break during this time at least.
I got roused wide awake by the sunlight outside the tent. Griffon is still sleeping peacefully nearby.

I finished my morning business meanwhile. Toilet, tooth brushing. I didn't take a bath last night so I took a cloth, wet it in a water bucket and wiped my body using it.
Enduring the slightly cold touch as I scrubbed my entire body. No human treads this place. Early morning at that.
I'm laying it all out bare. The sense of liberation is second to none.

"Ah, I feel good~ But I sure miss a real bath. Would be nice to get in one."

I started making breakfast feeling refreshed. Griffon seemingly got woken up by the noise.
I told the plan for today and the future.

"Can you bring me back to the entrance of this forest? Afterward, you go back and resume your life here."

Hearing that, griffon who was still half-awake tilted its head while crying, 'Kue?'
