Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

"almost."

"You just said it would be quick too."

“It’s really coming soon.”

In the jungle, Shima Rin, Gabriel, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, and Shinonome walked towards the bay in this formation.

Rin Shima led the way, with Gabriel and Nadeshiko Kagamihara in the middle, and Shinonome at the back to prevent anyone from falling behind and to keep an eye on him so he could be attacked from behind by wild beasts.

"You just said it would be really soon."

Gabriel turned to look at Shinonome; exhausted, she didn't want to walk anymore.

"It's really, really close."

Dongyun comforted him.

Xiao Jia is tired, and everyone else is too.

But they couldn't stop yet; the sea cliffs weren't too far from the bay, and they could reach them in one go.

Resting in the jungle is risky; it's best to rest when you reach the bay.

"You just said it yourself, it's really, really close."

Gabriel didn't believe Shinonome's words at all. He kept saying "soon," "really soon," and "really, really soon" more than once.

"Coming right away, coming right away, okay?"

"You just now too..."

"Stop, stop! Trust me, trust me this time, it's only a few steps away."

Hearing Shinonome and Gabriel's conversation, which sounded like a comedy routine, Shima Rin, who was holding firewood, couldn't help but laugh.

She was initially very tired, but their performance made her feel less tired.

The next second, Shima Rin's smile froze.

With a "whoosh" sound, a deer darted out of the bushes on one side and quickly disappeared into the forest on the other side.

Before the four could react, a leopard rushed out of the bushes where the deer had just emerged and quickly chased after the direction in which the deer had disappeared.

Neither of the two animals, one fleeing and the other chasing, seemed to notice the four people present.

"Leopard, leopard, leopard?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko's voice trembled.

She was startled when the deer suddenly appeared, and before she could recover from the shock, a leopard appeared as well.

"Never mind, it's chasing a deer, let's go."

Dongyun knew that there might be dangers on the way to the bay, but he did not expect to encounter a leopard.

Is it because we're heading towards the bay, close to the river? There were deer and leopards spotted there.

It seems the bay isn't a safe place either. I don't know if there will still be walking fish during the Blood Moon, but there are definitely leopards in the jungle.

However, compared to walking fish, leopards are much less dangerous, and while they have no chance of killing walking fish, they do have a chance of killing leopards, and the chances are much greater.

Will it come back after catching the deer?

Kagamihara Nadeshiko was frightened.

She used to be unafraid of leopards, and even thought they were cute.

After all, she had lived on Earth in modern society and didn't have much of a sense of reality about the leopards she saw on TV. It wasn't until she transmigrated and began to survive in the wilderness, seeing all kinds of animals in the jungle with her own eyes, that she roughly realized that a leopard could easily take her life.

"Probably not. Once a leopard locks onto a target, it won't change targets unless it can't catch up. And even if it does change targets, it's fine. Humans are medium to large-sized creatures, and the four of us are still unfamiliar animals to them. It might not dare to attack us."

Dongyun's words were not entirely meant to comfort him.

The question of whether a human's unarmed strength is comparable to that of a leopard is a hotly debated topic online, but the upper limit of a human with weapons certainly exceeds that of a leopard. Even with just a wooden spear, against a leopard rather than a thick-skinned bear, a human would definitely have a fighting chance.

Of course, some people on the internet don't seem to think so. They believe that humans can't beat dogs, let alone cats.

The four of them—he has courage and a spear, Nadeshiko has a stone hammer, Shima Rin has a woodcutter's knife, and Gabriel… well, she has a wooden stick—a righteous four against one, and without considering casualties, they should be able to kill the leopard.

The four of them remained silent for the rest of the way.

It wasn't entirely because they were scared by the leopard, but rather because they were worried that talking would attract it, and chatting casually would make them lower their guard.

Looks like we'll have to hunt the leopard.

Since ungulates frequent the river area, it's normal for predators like leopards to be present; Dongyun was prepared for this. He just hadn't expected to encounter a leopard so early, and so far from the river.

This is probably the leopard's territory.

Since that's the case, they're going to kill the leopard and turn its territory into their own.

Not only leopards, but also other prey such as pythons, monitor lizards, and wild boars are hunted. This is not arrogance, but survival and personal safety. They must drive these ferocious predators deep into the jungle to show them that this is human territory.

They can't beat the walking fish, and they can't beat these prey either, right?

Dongyun eagerly awaited his lottery draw every day, hoping to win the modern composite crossbow from the package.

Guns run out of bullets, but crossbows are different. Crossbow bolts can be recycled, and even if the bolts are broken, you can make your own. The power may be less than that of crossbow bolts used with modern compound crossbows, but it is enough to hunt and kill most dangerous animals.

Harboring the beautiful dream of achieving a miracle with a single pull, Shinonome followed the three girls out of the jungle and arrived at the bay.

"Ah, so tired!"

Arriving at the tree where Shima Rin had stored her equipment, Gabriel found some shade and collapsed onto the ground in despair.

"Rest, rest."

Dongyun dragged a bunch of long wooden sticks tied with ropes into the hot sun, squatted down to untie the ropes, and dried the soaking wet sticks.

Xiao Jia rested, but he didn't want to rest yet. He wanted to start a fire.

"I've set up my tent."

Shima Rin didn't rest either, but instead prepared to set up the tent and clear out all the travel bags so that Shinonome and Nadeshiko could move their things later.

"Okay, I'll start a fire."

Dongyun agreed.

"I'm here to help!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko came over carrying firewood.

Everyone was exhausted, but Nadeshiko was full of energy.

Nadeshiko is practically a physical monster, and coupled with her optimistic and cheerful attitude, she always has boundless energy.

People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

The more time Shinonome spent with Nadeshiko, the more he understood this principle.

"How about we take a break, then go get some water, come back and rest a bit more, and then go move our things?"

While starting a fire, Dongyun asked Nadeshiko for her opinion.

"Okay."

Nadeshiko had no objections; she basically obeyed Higashiyun's every word.

"But we need to be more careful this time. There are leopards in the jungle. If we encounter a leopard, we should not be afraid. If we can scare it away, we should do so. If we cannot scare it away, we should kill it."

Dongyun knew that it would be very dangerous to go back to the sea cliff to move things.

Leopards are territorial, so there will only be one male leopard or one male leopard and several female leopards in the same territory.

If there's only one male leopard in their bay's jungle, that's fine, but if there are other female leopards, then it's troublesome, and the probability of encountering a leopard and facing danger will greatly increase.

Chapter 80 New Home by the Bay

bay.

Shima Rin has set up the tent.

"Let's all sleep in tents tonight."

Can four people sleep in it?

Gabriel and Kagamihara Nadeshiko were sorting through the things they had moved in when she glanced at Shima Rin's tent with suspicion.

"It should be possible. There's a lot of space inside; you can come in and take a look."

Shima Rin said uncertainly.

Her tent can definitely sleep two people without feeling crowded, but it's hard to say about four people.

However, it should be fine.

Shima Rin looked at Gabriel, then at Kagamihara Nadeshiko.

She's 144cm tall, and Nadeshiko and Gabriel are about the same height. None of them are overweight; in fact, they're all quite slim. The three of them won't be cramped in the tent; there'll still be some space. With Shinonome squeezing in a little, the four of them could probably sleep in one tent without any problem.

Shima Rin was a little curious about how tall everyone was.

How tall are you all?
