I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

But to be honest, these two sisters are pretty brave. They even dared to ride a horse even though it was Asuna's first time, and they were not worried that Asuna would accidentally fall over and put them in danger.

With the weight of the horse, it didn't seem difficult to crush these two malnourished homeless girls to death.

Especially if the horse flips over while riding at high speed, Asuna will be fine, but the safety of the two sisters cannot be guaranteed.

However, it is not that they are bold. To be precise, it is that they have no choice at all.

If they don't want to be left behind or really race with the horse, then they have no choice but to go for it.

Fortunately, the horse seemed to know that Asuna was not someone that it could easily provoke, and it behaved as obediently as a dog throughout the entire process, without showing any signs of being disobedient.

In addition, Asuna had a strong learning ability, and with the cooperation of this sensible old horse, she quickly mastered the riding technique, and finally there was no danger of tipping over.

However, the two sisters were lucky, but Asuna felt a little uncomfortable.

The two children, the older sister and the younger sister, were so thin that they were basically skin and bones because they were living on the streets.

As a result, Asuna was bumped by the two skinny girls in front and behind her all the way, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Besides, probably because of his great figure, this girl Hei Tong actually fell asleep on his chest???

Not long after, Akagi even fell asleep hugging herself tightly from behind.

In this situation, Asuna felt like she had become some kind of real-life pillow.

Very weird.

However, as the two sisters fell asleep, Asuna finally didn't have to keep a stern face and maintain her "villain" setting.

Gently touching Kuroyon's head, Asuna sighed helplessly.

In the current situation, she couldn't just abandon Akame and Kurome. Asuna could only comfort herself and regard this as a kind of exercise, well, an exercise that could endure pain (it hurts).

……

……

Outside the city are villages of all sizes.

Farmers tilling the fields were everywhere, but outside, apart from the roads, it was no different from a wilderness.

The outskirts of this world, apart from the stone-paved roads, are nothing special. Compared to the 21st century... it probably feels like a remote countryside? At most, the occasional passing vehicle has become a horse-drawn carriage.

Even compared to Orario, it is many times behind.

On the way to another city, the three of them didn't speak to each other.

Asuna was always observing her surroundings, and the two sisters, after being cautious in the beginning, gradually relaxed.

Although they were terrified at first when she fell asleep in Asuna's arms, the two sisters gradually felt relieved when Asuna never mentioned it.

They looked around excitedly like little children, as if they were leaving the city for the first time and were curious about everything outside.

In the afternoon, Asuna controlled the horse and stopped beside a meadow.

Asuna tied the horses to a tree next to the grass, and then carried down the two children who couldn't get down by themselves.

Although she had already changed them into sturdy clothes, whenever Asuna thought of the experience of Kurome's clothes being torn into pieces, Asuna would give up the idea of ​​holding their collars with her hands and lifting them down.

"Okay, I'll go see if there are any animals nearby, and your task is to set up the tent."

To put it in simpler terms, I'm going to go hunt some prey for you, and you just wait here and don't move.

After putting the two little guys down, Asuna also took down the tent that she had purchased in advance from the horse's back and asked the two little guys to set up the tent.

After all, as a "bad guy", how could he do everything himself?

09 Dangerous species on the tip of the tongue

Akagi: "Want to set up a tent?"

Hei Tong: "Sister...will you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, just learn it."

Asuna took the tent out of the bag:

"Putting up a tent is very simple. You can usually do it if you use your brain and study it carefully. All you have to do is hold up the canvas and secure it with the tent frame. With your hands-on skills, it should be no problem.

Well, just be careful not to damage it."

Finally, Asuna made a special addition.

Although I can rest in the wild with my physical condition, these two girls cannot do that.

If she gets sick, given the relationship between the sisters, I don’t know how worried they would be.

She ignored her worried sisters, thinking that setting up a tent was something that a spoiled child would not be able to do.

But these two sisters are homeless children. If they had poor autonomy in this area, they would have died long ago, right?

Moreover, they have experience in building "houses", so it should be no problem to use it on simpler and easier tents, right?

With this in mind, Asuna slowly walked towards the depths of the forest. She wanted to try and see if she could encounter any dangerous species in this world.

It is said that in the wilds of this world, in the forests far away from the main road, you can generally encounter dangerous species of varying strengths and weaknesses. The deeper you go into the jungle, the more dangerous species you will encounter.

The grassy area was still a safe area before, but as Asuna went deeper, she really entered the danger zone.

As she was worried that dangerous species might appear in the safe area, that is, where Akame and Kurome were, Asuna did not go too deep into the forest. She just held the weapon in her hand, remained vigilant enough, and explored the edge of the dangerous area.

"Rustle and turn"

After a while, Asuna felt a vibration coming from under her feet. Obviously, something was approaching rapidly from underground.

“———Uoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Asuna didn't have to wait too long. The earth's crust cracked and bulged, and then a huge monster suddenly emerged.

Its face is like a beetle, with long tentacles around its mouth (is that you, Elder Centipede?!!!), and its physique is comparable to that of the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But compared to those giant monsters in Orario, well, it's just so-so.

The guy let out a long roar towards the sky, then swung his huge arms and rushed over with great momentum.

"Is this... a dangerous level 1 earth dragon? Although it has a good aura, its strength seems to be inferior to Goliath."

After identifying this very common dangerous species from the dangerous species illustration, Asuna easily avoided the attack of the earth dragon, which seemed powerful but was actually a bit slow for ordinary elite warriors.

Furthermore, he made an evaluation using Goliath, the benchmark of Orario's combat power.

"Roar!!!"

After missing the first attack, Tulong immediately launched a second attack.

However, having already known the opponent's strength, Asuna naturally would not continue to play like this.

Before the second attack arrived, Asuna's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Shua——!!!"

A cold knife light flashed, and the left leg of this first-level dangerous species was quietly broken.

Then, as it fell to the ground with a roar, Asuna jumped onto its head, replaced a spear from the warehouse, and stabbed it into its brain with a decisive blow.

The struggle and roar seemed to be paused at this moment and all movement was lost.

Tulong’s eyes widened, his arms fell limply, and he lost his voice.

Although this earth dragon’s name contains the word “dragon”, with its strength, it can only deal with and bully ordinary people.

It's strong and tall, but its movements are slow, and it doesn't even have the recovery ability of a large monster. No wonder it's hunted as food.

“It’s indeed weak, but I don’t know what it will taste like after cooking.

Asuna pulled the spear out of the earth dragon's head, then jumped off its body, sat under a tree nearby, and took out the dangerous species illustration.

After carefully studying how to cook... ahem, after studying the introduction about earth dragons, Asuna discovered that even ordinary people can deal with dangerous species like earth dragons!

Tulong: ...

You just need to use a large-caliber firearm and hit the vital points to kill the person with one shot.

Tulong: I brought shame to the dangerous species.

Moreover, given the huge size of the earth dragon, it is not very difficult for ordinary soldiers to hit its vital points.

Earth Dragon: Oh oh oh (╥╯^╰╥)

"Is this what they call a big guy who looks good but is useless?"

Asuna sighed, and then discovered through the illustrated guide that most of the meat on the earth dragon's body was edible, and the thigh meat was the best part, a premium ingredient that was also loved by the nobles.

Asuna's eyes lit up!

Finally found the information I was looking for!

Tulong: …………

So, without even waiting for the chance to mourn the death of the earth dragon, Asuna simply said a few words of thanks and began her dissection work.

As the sun was about to set, there were no other dangerous species around.

Because the earth dragon's body was so big, Asuna was very generous and only took the most essential part of the earth dragon - the thigh meat!

Although it might be a bit of a waste to throw the other meat here, it wouldn't matter if they were left as food reserves for other dangerous species.

After throwing some earth dragon thigh meat into his warehouse, the piece of meat left here was still about the same size as two cows combined. This shows how dangerous species like earth dragons are, which are only good-looking but useless.

Carrying the carefully selected earth dragon meat, Asuna returned to the grassland where she had planned to set up camp.

However, what Asuna did not expect was that after Akame and Kurome saw the meat being dragged behind Asuna, they immediately stopped walking.

The two sisters stared intently at the earth dragon's hind leg meat, which was larger than Yasina herself. They drooled in unison and were completely attracted by the meat.

Akame: "——So much meat!"

Hei Tong: "——It's meat! Sister! Meat!"

Asuna: “…”

From the sisters' eyes, Asuna saw the clearest desire in these days——I am overeating~!

Asuna didn't know what to say to the sisters.

However, it does not seem strange that people who were afraid of hunger in the past would experience such a situation, just like people who were afraid of poverty in their childhood would desperately make money and be reluctant to spend money even when they grow up and become rich.

"If you want to eat meat, come and help me. If I'm in a good mood, I might even teach you a few tricks."

Hearing Asuna's words, the two sisters quickly wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths and let Asuna direct the grilling with unprecedented motivation.

10 "Evil" will never be a chef

After using a knife to cut the meat into several pieces, Asuna threw two smaller pieces of meat to Akame and Kurome.

After hammering wooden stakes into the ground to build three simple barbecue grills, Asuna gave each sister a dagger and some seasoning.

Given their situations, they would have never been exposed to barbecue before. If they were asked to help, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

Therefore, Asuna gave them both a chance to try and see whose cooking skills were better. In this way, it would be a good choice to train a kitchen helper in the future.

Moreover, these two little ones really need to gain weight!

When she thought about how she had been bruised all the way today, the idea of ​​gaining weight became firmly on Asuna's mind.

Although traveling with two children can be a bit troublesome, they can really help me a lot.

For example, setting up a tent... For example, setting up a tent... For example, setting up a tent...

"It seems like it's useless..."

Asuna muttered quietly while flipping the grilled meat.

Asuna then turned her attention to Akame and Kurome who were working hard to flip the grilled meat.

"She's too weak... and her body is in serious condition, so she needs to be replenished... As for her younger sister, she's a little too dependent on her older sister, so she needs to learn to be independent when she has time."

"But... well, overall it's still good."

After making sure the fire was set, Asuna checked the tent the sisters had pitched.

After a careful observation, the main body of the tent was set up well and there was no damage. It was obvious that the two little guys were very careful.

Except for the fact that the wooden stakes were driven in a little shallowly, these two little ones did a good job.
