Chapter 6 Shaar and the pitiful creature (2/2)
……
…………
Carrying this pitiful creature that got hit in the head by him, he walked for half a day until the sky gradually darkened.
Looking at the sky, Shaar Thunder evaluated the surrounding terrain and finally selected a place shielded from the wind and put down this pitiful creature.
“We will spend the night here.” He clapped his hands and went around picking up the dry twigs. Collecting enough, he came back, made a small pile and ignited it with his flint.
As night fell, the Primal Wildfire became very cold and that skinny fellow started shivering from the wind and could not bear it. He therefore moved closer toward the warmth coming from the high-piled firewood. Seeing this, Shaar Thunder added another bad characteristic of him to his heart: Spoiled since childhood.
Yes, this fellow was obviously not adventurer who came to Primal Wildfire to get rich.
Looking from his appearance, he could not endure hardship, feared to get hurt and was sensitive to cold. Furthermore, his behaviour was also very strange for a guy. His clothing, that fur-lined robe, from his experienced hunter vision, Shaar Thunder noticed that it was made of expensive black mountain sheepskin. The broken boots were also made from high quality deerskin.
Having wiped off the blood stain and the dust on his face, this fellow finally revealed his original appearance – His skin was pale and delicate and looked like someone who had never endured hardship. Both his hands looked extremely fragile.
Hmm ……How could his eyes be so big and his mouth so small?
While staring at this pitiful creature for a while, Shaar Thunder made that fellow intensely uncomfortable. His body shrank a bit and he gave Shaar Thunder vigilant look.
(This is bad, this fellow might have seen through my appearance. If he is planning something bad ……Yes, I am certain!! If, if he dares to bully me, I will fight him with everything I got!!)
Preparing himself secretly in mind while staying in alert, he made both his hands into a tight fist and stared maliciously at Shaar Thunder. These ferocious eyes instead made Shaar somewhat dumbfounded.
“Why are you staring me like that? Is there something on my face?”Shaar started to touch his face.
“……Nothing.”
While the pitiful creature was avoiding his eyes, a loud growling sound could be heard.
Shaar Thunder paid closer attention and another growling sound could be heard, but this time twice. The face of the pitiful creature immediately reddened and he buried his head inside his knees.
“Huh? Tonight the mud frogs are making a strange noise.” Shaar Thunder looked deliberately in all directions.
“……No, these are not the mud frogs, it’s my stomach!” The pitiful creatures clenched his fits and asked: “Hey… Are you not going to have dinner?”
Giving off a mocking laugh, Shaar Thunder fished out rye bread from his body and tore off a piece. His face might show a heroic smile, but in his heart actually housed some anxiety. This bread was only enough to eat for two days by himself. Now that there is an additional person, he feared that he had to look for food tomorrow.
It looked like what his old man said was true. Acting as a benevolent person had its price.
The pitiful creatures grasped this piece of black and hard bread and pinched it while looking at it, but he did not move his mouth. No longer able to watch, Shaar Thunder finally spoke: “Hey, don’t you know that bread is there to be eaten and not for watching?”
“You, what did you say?!” This pitiful creature screamed out in surprise: “This thing, this thing can actually be eaten by a human?!!”
Getting angry Shaar Thunder responded: “Nonsense, if not eaten what else is it for?!”
The pitiful creature was at loss for words once again and blushed while staring at Shaar Thunder.
“Either you eat it or you starve to death! In any case, I have only this thing to eat.” Shaar Thunder ranted angrily: “Don’t you know that you are holding 1/10 of my complete family belongings! Bah! If you don’t eat it, give it to me!”
When he tried to snatch it away, the pitiful creature immediately became anxious. He have never seen this type of rye bread before and when seeing Shaar Thunder trying to get his food back, he quickly forced himself to bit off a piece.
This bite, went bad ……
With a day and a night not eating anything, he became hungry like a wolf – with his background, up until now in his life he had never endured so much suffering. For this reason, he used all his remaining strength in this bite.
Unfortunately for him, these black rye breads were made dry and stiff to help long-term preservation. By fermenting it, the texture was extremely hard and adding that the current season was winter, with the ice-cold climate from the Primal Wildfire, this thing was frozen and hard like a rock.
Ka!!
A sudden breaking sound could be heard and when this pitiful creature opened his mouth, one could see that hard bread did not have any biting marks. From his mouth, a piece of snow white tooth felt to the ground.
“……”
A Silent lasted for a while followed by the moaning and screaming of a painful.
“Oww……My tooth.”
