章 24: Hunt Time

A few days had passed.

"Gon, are you sure you want to accompany me to hunt animals?"

"Yes, however, I am free for the next two weeks. After two weeks, a ship will arrive at the port, and I have to board it. I can't be late for the hunter's exams this year!"

"What's more, I also completed my task. I managed to catch the lake monster yesterday!"

In the forest, which is quite dense, seen two human figures walking together, they chatted casually to each other accompanied by a little laugh.

"Well, that's amazing, Gon. I saw it yesterday. Everyone was amazed and happy when you brought the lake monster to the port."

Zen said with admiration; he saw the fish caught by Gon yesterday. That fish is absolutely a monster!

"Hehe~."

With a little blush on his face, Gon could only rub his nose with his index finger while hiding his little embarrassment.

"Right, Zen-san, why don't you ever join and eat with us again? Does the food not taste good? Mito-san cookings are good, right?"

Gon, who remembered something, began to ask in a confused tone. He looks at the tall man in front of him.

"Hmm... Why, why. Maybe it's because I can bother you, especially Mito-san and Grandma."

Slightly scratching his chin with his index finger, Zen said with a thoughtful expression. (Made-up)

"And again, if I joined, wouldn't your family's expenses will be increased? That's what I avoided. However, I still had a man of pride and a healthy physique. I can take care of myself, Gon. "

Zen continued while patting his chest with his fist.

"Oh..."

With an expression :O on his face, Gon just nodded his head. For some reason, he felt understood and also not at the same time.

"Anyway, we arrived at our hunting spot."

"Yes!"

Nodding his head, Gon answered and began to pay attention to his surroundings. This place is quite spacious, there are trees, but not much. It is suitable for hunting several animals and also, there are lots of herb plants.

Moreover, there are some new animal traces around this place.

"Look, our first prey!"

While whispering, Zen said while pointing at the adult deer not far from where he was. Right now, the deer was eating grass. It seemed that it was not aware of Gon and Zen.
