Unspeakable bubbles

"Ah, the black unicorn is gone, let's hurry and follow it." Upon noticing the black unicorn moving, Jiujiang quickly called to the two.

Fortunately, this time the black unicorn walked normally, and the three of them had no trouble following behind it.

“If it can really lead us to water, then it’s the smartest animal I’ve ever seen in my life,” Miri said as she walked.

“It’s an animal that even the school board chairman Ninomiya shuns; you have to trust it,” Hisako said.

“Miss Ninomiya… to be honest, I always felt that she was hiding a lot of things from us.”

Misato asked Bubble, "Bubble, what do you know about Ninomiya Ho?"

"She's Masumi-neechan's friend," the little girl said simply.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

"That's all."

"Miri, aren't you overthinking it? I think Ninomiya is a nice person."

Jiujiang scratched his head: "She even treated us to dinner."

"Tch, I bought you off with just one meal."

Misato pursed her lips, about to say something, when suddenly her eyes widened.

"Look! What's that?"

"stream!"

"There's water!"

The three of them ran happily to the stream, and Jiujiang was the first to lie down and test the water.

"You can drink it!"

"Hahaha, we found a water source on the first day, what a good omen!" Misato laughed, her eyes crinkling.

"Oh right, take the water bottle out of my bag, I need to fill it up with some water."

"Roger that, Captain!"

After a brief moment of excitement, the three began their hunt under Misato's guidance.

They thought they would find dinner soon, but it turned out that Misato and her friends had underestimated wilderness survival.

"The sun has set."

"Sigh, we didn't find anything."

"I'm so hungry."

"..."

"I thought the grasslands were full of sheep and cows, but I haven't seen a single one," Miri said in confusion. "This is different from what I see on TV."

Jiujiang also complained, "Forget about cattle and sheep, I haven't even seen a rabbit after searching for so long!"

"Something must have gone wrong."

Misato pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself, "Logically speaking, this is a stream, so there's no reason why we shouldn't see any animals coming to find water."

“Stream, that’s it! Let’s go fishing!” Jiujiang suggested.

Do you have a fishing rod?

"No."

Can you catch fish with your bare hands?

"No."

The proposal is rejected!

"Bubble, I'm hungry." The little girl patted her belly, which made the sound of water sloshing around inside.

"..."

"I think our search area is too small. How about we try going to a more distant place next time?" Jiujiang suggested.

“Hmm, but it only wants to eat grass by the stream and refuses to move!” Misato said helplessly. “We still need to write in our diaries, we can’t just abandon it.”

"Then let's split up. Bubble will stay here, and we'll head to a farther place to find food!"

Misato hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Bubble. "Bubble, can you stay here and wait for us? Hisae and I will go find something to eat."

"Miri, Bubble has a question for you."

"Ok?"

"Is it faster for dogs to catch small animals, or for humans to catch them?"

"If it's a well-trained hunting dog, then of course the hunting dog is faster."

"Oh!"

The little girl nodded vigorously: "Bubble has a solution!"

Section 243, Chapter 242: Keeping a Low Profile

"What method?" Misato asked hurriedly.

"Bubble has a very big dog; it's definitely better at hunting than us."

"Sigh, so Bubble, you also had a dog... It's a pity it's no longer on the Great Plains," Misato said with a hint of regret.

"It's okay, Bubble can call it out." The little girl's shadow expanded, and Crusher No. 3 jumped out of the shadow excitedly.

"This is the mystery of summoning!"

Jiujiang said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve, Bubble. Now we don't have to worry about food."

“This dog not only has three heads, but it also looks extremely fierce. It’s obviously a skilled hunter!” Misato praised as well.

"Go, Crusher Number Three! Bring back some goodies." With a command from Bubble, Cerberus let out an energetic howl and ran off quickly.

"Alright, now we only need one last thing before we can enjoy our meal."

Miri said earnestly, "We also need a campfire."

"The fire..." The little girl's expression was somewhat unnatural, and she nervously rubbed her fingers.

"Do we...do we need to start a fire?"

"Of course you need a fire to grill meat," Hisa said matter-of-factly.

"Jiujiang, you're the strongest, so the task of starting a fire by rubbing sticks together is yours!"

"I can handle it, but what about the wood?"

Jiujiang looked around and thought, "There's grass all around, where would we find any wood?"

"How about using grass?" Misato asked, frowning. "It's about the same whether you roast it with wood or grass."

"It's far from good enough. Besides, grass alone is useless; you need a fire source."

“I brought a lighter,” Misato said smugly.

Jiujiang covered her face: "I have a very bad feeling right now. Maybe what we make later will be inedible."

"...Everything is difficult at the beginning."

Miri encouraged them, saying, "This is only our first day on the grasslands. I believe that as long as we work together, things will get better day by day."

"come on!"

"kindness!"

After the three of them placed a large pile of harvested grass by the stream, the three-headed dog returned shortly afterward with a sheep in its mouth.

The sheep was casually tossed to the ground, and the three-headed dog wagged its tail, looking expectantly at Bubble.

"You're a great dog!" Bubble hugged the three-headed dog's drooping head: "Thanks to you, Bubble will have something to eat tonight."

"Awooo." The three dog heads of Crusher No. 3 stuck out their tongues at the same time.

"Hahaha, good dog, stop fooling around."

While the little girl was playing with her pet, Misato took out her lighter.

She stared at her prey lying on the ground and couldn't help but swallow hard.

At that moment, what came to mind was the golden-brown roasted lamb chops, the tender lamb meat, and the fragrant lamb leg...

"Miri, light it!" Hisako's stomach rumbled, and she couldn't help but urge him on.

"Okay... my foot!"

Misato said helplessly, "Hisae, don't you have any common sense? Don't you need to clean the sheep thoroughly and pluck its wool?"

"Uh, I used to bake semi-finished products, I'd completely forgotten about it."

Jiujiang smiled awkwardly. She was about to drag the sheep carcass to the stream to wash it when she suddenly stopped.

"Kuae?"

"I can't move! I can't move!"

"What's going on?" Misato walked quickly toward Hisae, only to find a black unicorn blocking her way.

"What's wrong with you?"

Misato stopped in her tracks, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from the black unicorn.

The black unicorn glanced at the blood-stained grass and, in a human-like manner, revealed its displeasure.

It dislikes blood, its color, and its taste.

Even the most delicious food becomes inedible once it's stained with blood.

Staying here any longer is making me feel worse.

A suction force suddenly rose from the black unicorn's back, pulling the girl it had its eye on onto itself.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Hisa regained control of her body, but she found herself stuck to the back of a magical creature, unable to get off no matter how hard she struggled.
