Chapter 36 – The Raid

Being exhausted fro the barn, Eiji felt that it was the saue that accompanied him the first time he had arrived at this world

During that time, he would often fall into a deep and dreamless sleep

If there were nights like that, then there were as well the ones during which he couldn’t fall asleep because fatigue

On such days, he would turn over in his bedimpatient

If I don’t fall asleep quickly, I’ll becohts

Eiji would try varioussheep and taking a series of deep breaths, despite knowing that they were less In the end, they weren’t much of help

Next to hi soundly

Staring at her peaceful face, Eiji felt it was stupid of hiet impatient

On the other hand, straining his ears, Eiji could sense the presence of their domesticated wild boars inside the darkness

As soon as he rose up from the bed, he put on a coat and went outside

Looking up, there was a stretching sky full of stars

Was it because there were no lights around? Or perhaps because of the clear atle day in which he wouldn’t be surprised at how many stars can be seen

And then the e

It was still too early for a full htly illuminated the surface

If one were to look around, lit houses were nowhere to be seen

It felt as though the only person unable to sleep right noas he himself

Eiji thought about there being people with lots of physical strength in his hometown, despite that…he couldn’t help but be surprised at how strong the villagers were

Once he thought so, a howl of a wild animal was heard from distance

– A dog? …No, a wolf?

The hoouldn’t end with a single time

Probably there were , as the number of the howls increased with the second and third round

Could it be that they were sending signals?

The extent of the sounds grew

Just how ht

The nuer to be considered as so common

– Mike-san…? Jane-san, and even Tanya-san

Each of them went out from their house and stared at the east part of the forest

Even Tanya that was supposed to be soundly sleeping woke up and went outside Seeing that, Eiji felt uneasy

That kind of response wasn’t so usual

He went to her first and asked the reason behind such a reaction

Tanya had a clear expression that couldn’t be thought of as being asleep

She was completely awake

– Eiji-san has woken up as well, haven’t you?

– No, I was already awake

– Was that so? Did you hear it?

– You

– Yes, it see a countermeasure soon, I think

– A countermeasure?

– Since Eiji-san too will be called to join up, I believe, I’ll explain it to you ahead

Due to the wolves assaulting dooats, and chickens, there was a need for preventing that using the e

Because the tiht, the women would move all their livestock inside their houses and fences, and the

– Judging from the number of howls, I think there is a considerable number of them Last year, they wouldn’t appear, but…

Looking at Tanya, who had a serious expression on her face, Eiji understood that it was quite a bad situation

Under normal circumstances, their food supply and production would be at the limit

Were they to have their livestock reduced by wolves, they would incur a heavy blow

Mike, who noticed this side, approached with a trot

Unlike his usually slacken expression, this time he had a stern one

– Did you guys notice as well?

– I was already awake

– There’s no way for one to sleep after hearing those sounds

– It wouldsee before that?

– Actually, I just couldn’t sleep

– Well, that’s fine Tanya-chan please go reconfir place with me

Even while heading toward the tribal chief’s house, Mike ether with their livestock and ordered the participation of the men

At that moment, everyone’s faces were stern

Just hoill it turn out? – he thought It was Eiji’s first ever experience

Will they fight using blades, or using bows?

Or perhaps, they will lay traps?

Whichever er

Eiji was raised in a peaceful country, where nobody would carry a weapon

If considering accidents and death from diseases as separate instances, people would rarely see someone die instantly

Because of that, Eiji couldn’t is would turn out

Will I be able to survive through this turmoil?

No matter how much he pondered, the ansouldn’t come

Siena is a village based on animal husbandry

Naturally, what its villagers raised weren’t just cattle and pigs

Because a single person could oats, meat and fur became much more common

One of those shepherds was now standing in the gathering place while having a heartbroken face

– I think it’s probably because of me that the wolves appeared this time

– Why should that be?

– Because there was little grass on the grazing land, I thought of trying to search for a new place and went closer to the forest than usual Perhaps, the forest was the territory of those wolves, I think They didn’t attack us on the spot, but they probably followed 3 of htered by them

– That’s a pity, however, once we hunt theo closer to the forest, so don’t feel depressed

– Everyone, I’m sorry
