On the girl's first day, I decided not to take her hunting because she was still traumatized by the near-death experience. Instead, we went into the forest and collected some berries from bushes and trees. She seemed happy enough with this activity, though she did seem a bit disappointed that I didn't bring out my bow and arrows for a proper hunt.
My hunt was quiet, I got many monsters for our lunch, and I even managed to avoid the monster that attacked the girl, since I would rather not scare her.
I also gave her one of my knives, which she liked.
When we arrived with the berries, I found out that she was great in the kitchen, so she asked me to let her take care of that part, at first, I didn't accept it, but I understood it was necessary for her to feel useful.
With my new company, my day is getting more and more exciting, what was just hunting and taking care of the house now had moments of fun, she taught me some games of her tribe, even if weird, are quite fun.
A day has passed since the girl arrived, and she still doesn't want to tell me her name she has no or is ashamed, that is, better not to insist, for now, one day I find out, the important thing is to make her feel at home.
She has a good sense of humor too, like when she told me about the game called 'Turtle', where you have to hit the turtle as hard as possible until he gets scared and runs away...
Well, the turtle was not really a turtle, but a big frog... but it was funny.
We played that game until nightfall. We sat around the fire and ate dinner, then I took her back to the cabin and she slept in my room.
On her second day here, she told me that she wanted to go hunting. From what she said, her race seems to place great importance on taking part in hunts, and she would feel ashamed if she stayed home while others took risks. Given this, I decided to let her go.
Though it was obvious that this was only about her traumas, she did better than I could have imagined.
After a few weeks of hunting, their combat skills developed into something more wild, which made sense, since I don't even have a sophisticated style. Well, at least I believe that throwing the stone is not stunning to see.
It was amazing how much she improved after two months, she almost never missed her target, and even better, she learned to use different kinds of weapons: daggers, bows, spears, swords, and even some kind of staff.
But there was no way I would teach her magic. I do not know anything about that, and besides, I'm sure that someone else will be able to help her learn magic faster.
That being said, she can cast simple spells without any trouble, and I think she will eventually master them, given time.
As I said earlier, her tribe placed a lot of emphasis on hunting, so I tried to give her all the training I could.
The longer time went on, the more it evolved until it was able to face monsters.
One day, I asked her where she found the strength to deal with something that appeared to be pretty difficult, since it appeared that she was having difficulties with a little monster. Now, she's able to go head-on with a giant monster, so I wonder if she lied to me and destroyed the wagon out of revenge.
"Borrowed strength." She answered.
"What do you mean by that?"
I was surprised by the answer, since I was unaware of it.
"Since you constantly lend me your Mana, I thought you were a great wizard. Moreover, you are improving my physical form to support the use of mana."
"I'm still confused."
"The part about the loan of mana is easier to explain. You're lending me your mana stock, so I use it. I thought I knew why, after all, you're lending me without a contract."
"So, you're the one who is borrowing mana?"
"Yes. And I am using it to improve myself."
"I was unaware of that, and there was no such thing as mana."
"I am sorry that I did not realize this earlier, Master."
"There was no way for you to have known."
There is no way that I have blamed it for my lack of study since I came to this world. I have only been concerned with surviving, and have not tried to acquire knowledge about how things work.
"Please Master, don't abandon me, no, I should have realized before *sob* *sob*."
"Please calm down, I won't leave you, please stop crying."
I realize that this girl was being dramatic, but I cannot just leave her. After all, I am not a monster.
I hugged her tight, and she stopped sobbing.
"Thank you, Master," she said.
"You don't need to thank me."
"I want to repay you somehow."
"How?"
"By becoming stronger, so I can protect you."
"No, I'm fine right now. My body is strong enough to defeat the monsters."
"Just because you are strong does not mean that you do not need protection."
"If that's how you feel, then I'll stay here until I get stronger. But first, we should talk about our future."
It is important for women to understand that if they get too emotional, it could hurt them.
Then we hear a scream
Are there other people in danger? People who come into the forest are the weakest.
