Chapter 26: Food
We were about to head to our village when I heard a loud growling sound, did another monster sneaked in to hunt us, why didn't I realize his presence, where was it coming from?
Growl! Growl! Growl!
Again, where was it coming from, I turned my head to see the origin of the growl. Shear was holding her tummy, I instantly realized the sound was coming from her stomach, she was hungry, again.
"Hehehe, looks like the sound is coming from me, I'm hungry." She said and Snickered to hide her embarrassment. I thought Orc never gets embarrassed as they openly had sex with anybody and almost eat anything, they're cannibals, just a while ago they ate the Orcs I killed.
"Master, I'm starving can I eat something, as you know because of ranking up and fighting the night saber wolf made me very hungry." She said and whipped her drooling mouth.
The People who called them pig heads were right, their hunger was really of a pig, they only live for three things sex, sleep, and food.
I looked at her with cool eyes, we were getting late and one thing's happening after another if my parents or Kristin's parents found out about us then who was going to be responsible for that, after that would I ever be able to come here again.
"You can eat something after leaving us near our village, you will not die if don't eat now, endure it until we reach our village." I fiercely looked at her and said.
Hearing me her forehead started to ooze cold sweat. She didn't have the guts to talk back. She didn't want to offend me as it could cause her life, although she was hesitant, she accepted it without any further complaints.
Growl! Growl!
This time the growling sound came from Kristin's stomach, she was sitting on the ground, after walking, running, and facing so many dangerous situations how could a small child like her not be hungry.
Argh, I scratched my scalp and bowed to the situation. I decided to spend only a few minutes until they ate something.
Shear's darkened face glistened after getting permission to eat something.
But what could we find to eat in this dense forest?
Shear was gazing at the night saber wolves corpse that we killed just now, is she thinking of eating their corpse, her stomach was making a growling sound, and her mouth flooded with drool.
but their body had thick black fur all over, and we didn't have the necessary tools to dismember the body and the main problem was that it was raw and Kristin couldn't eat raw meat.
I could not use fire magic to roast the corpse as my mana depleted, it would be better if we found some edible berries.
"Shear, Kristin can't the raw meat so do you something that a human can eat..." Before I could finish my sentence she grabbed the corpse and tore a big chunk of meat with her jaws and started eating it.
With the sound of her chewing the raw meat and the stench mixed in the air, I had heard that chewing raw meat made a crunchy sound but it was wrong, the only crunchy sound I could hear was when she crushed bone with her jaws to eat bone marrow.
Kristin vomited seeing Shear eating raw meat like that, I could barely hold myself too. The stench of feces, blood, intestine, and other fluid substance was making the surroundings unbearable. Shear was unaffected as she was eating it without any hesitation.
Kristin and I moved at some distance from shear, luckily I saw some berries at a few distances from us. I gesture Kristin if she wanted to eat them, those berries were not poisonous as I had seen them at my house before. Though I can't eat as I'm still on Catherine's milk.
"My hunger has died, thanks to someone." she looked at shear with disgust and said.
I could understand why she's angry with Shear, but when I saw Shear, I got fascinated instead of feeling disgusted because her cruelty, barbaric nature was natural, I could only see a predator eating its prey.
I couldn't help but snicker at the night saber wolves' fate, they came here to hunt their prey but instead they became the prey.
If the young night saber hadn't hastened to attack then our situation might have reversed, one small mistake leads them to this fate.
"What kind of monsters were they, I mean not all animals are considered monsters right, I saw horses and cows in the village too," I asked aura because they piqued my interest.
[There are two types of monsters in the human perspective that reside in this world, animal and humanoid. Humanoid monsters have intelligence, appearance, or characteristics resembling a human. And animal monsters have the same features as animals.] Aura said.
Well, the dominant one was quite intelligent for an animal-type monster. In the future, if I got the chance then I would like to domesticate one or two of the night saber wolves.
Shear grabs one last leg of the night saber wolf and gulped it down to her throat, she was finally done with the eating.
"I'm full, Let's go, master." She said with a happy face. But we refuse to go with like that as she was fully covered in blood.
I told her to clean herself somehow right now, thinking what to do, she rolled on the ground and covered herself in dust, the dust absorbed the blood and she then flung the dirt from her body in an instant.
That was quite impressive, she snorted in pride. We hoped on in her hands which were still smelling so bad and not hygiene at all, hope I didn't get some kind of infection from this.
I glared at her, she didn't understand and made a confused face, Kristin was uncomfortable too, I sighed, it can't be helped, I had to endure this disgust until we reach our village.
"Now let's go."
