Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: First Hunting Part 2

"There it is. I thought it ran while we were still busy. It actually helped brother, huh?"

"Chief, it's done. It's 48 of them. The space inside was huge enough to cater this number. Thanks to Mr. Fox here, my job became easier."

(Oh, stop it. I'm blushing you know. But I'm happy I was of help.)  The golden fox jokingly thought while proudly wagging his tail.

"Good job, everyone. Now, kindly collect also those masts and forbs nearby. Kindly include those unique grasses so we could temporarily support them while in the village."

The part began collecting some fruits edible for the villagers, and also grasses for the deers. Feldor and Waldo arranged the captured ones, and instead of the feet, their tied the neck instead.

Everything was done. They traveled back to the same route they used. Luckily, there were no monsters in the way. About late in the afternoon, they arrived back at the village.

"Oh, it's them. They're back."

"Look at what they brought back. Amazing! "

"Yeah."

Kids who were playing on the streets were cheering on them. Those of Cimmerian's age  were also looking at them. The girls' eyes shone brightly as they muttered Vaissien's and other boys' names.

"So cool, it's your first time hunting and it's successful. Are you hurt?" One of the village girls said.

"Yeah. Was the forest scary?" Another one seconded.

"Actually, uhm—." Vaissien scratched his head.

(It was actually brother and the others who did the job. We were just useless dumbbells there. By the way, where is he?) He thought.

While it was still chaotic, Cimmerian, the Chief, Mado, and Alfredo already disappeared. The ones who remain here were Waldo, who was talking with the villagers, and Ferm who was in the middle of doing something really stupid.

"Ahhhh, my back hurts. You know, the deers were so agile. So it took me more action than I had initially expected. I think I need some massage. Can anyone do it?"

"I-I-I know some massage techniques. Uhm..." A cute village girl muttered shyly.

"Wait, deers are like that? You're so awesome Ferm, so you and Vaissien were the ones who did the hunting, right? It's fine, I can massage you." Another cutie joined.

"Yeah, I know you're so awesome, but don't overwork yourself, okay?" Another one joined.

"I-I-Is that so? Ha-ha-ha. You're right. The Chief really praised me when I captured so many of them. But he said, 'don't overdo it, you're already cool' like that. Ha-ha-ha!"

He was telling the village girls that it was him who did almost all the hunting.

"Your back hurts, huh? How about this... This is my massage, you idiot!"  Rayha punched his back hard.

"Ow! Stop, what are you doing, you monkey? I was just joking around, you know."

"Ferm, shut up! Idiot!" Rayha was really irritated by him.

"Ferm, Rayha, I-I think we need to take a bath first. We stink, you know." Elaine sniffed at her armpit.

"Oh, right. Let's leave that idiot here." Rayha dragged Elaine and went to the direction of the big village well.

"Wait, wait. Let me go with you. Oh, they're gone." He sighed deeply, "anyway, see you, girls!"

The girls' waived their hands as Ferm and the others walked away.
