章 74: Blood Aura

#Somewhere in Akunomori

The sun seemed to suddenly set behind the horizon when in the jungle. The dying light of the afternoon quickly reminded Mizuno of the necessity of a fire. He quickly got up. It would be difficult for him to find firewood and make preparations for the fire in the darkness. Begemot and Kumvir were not like him. Darkness or light did not mean much to them. They were the creatures of the jungle.

Mizuno looked for a plain area away from trees and underbrush. When he found one, he wanted to move inside the jungle for firewood. Begemot walked with him.

"This part of the jungle is dangerous. Beasts are always around. Let me walk with you."

"Thank you, sir."

"It's okay. I needed to walk a bit anyway. I ate a lot of food. It's better to walk after a meal."

Mizuno looked at Mr. Kumvir and said, "I need some firewood, Mr. Kumvir. I will be back."

"Hmm? Oh, Begemot is going with you?"

Begemot nodded.
