บท 162: First Day

While eating Lou discovered more 'blunder' of her teacher, besides food, Mafuyu also doesn't have any winter clothing, sleeping bag, first aidkit, and camping equipment.

And the small fragrant pouch that looks like a magic pouch is not actually a magic bag but a charm that she got from her grandparents.

Lou doesn't believe that this woman came here unprepared, last time she even reminded Lou to bring all the things that he needed to bring.

And here she is, she doesn't have anything except what she wears and the weapon in her waist.

"Umm…. Sensei… What are you going to do if you come alone here? What are you going to eat?" Lou nervously asked.

"I will hunt for my own food," Mafuyu proudly said.

"Then who are you going to cook them," Lou asked.

"Using fire of course? Are you an idiot?" Mafuyu said.

"Using fire how?" Lou asked.

"You don't even know how to make a fire? You can make using primitive techniques like a hand drill, or bow drill," Mafuyu said while speaking as if she was trying to educate Lou.

"Making fire? Using a bow drill or bow drill? In a place like this," Lou shouted while spreading his arms showing the below zero environment.

Even idiots know that you can never make a fire in this kind of environment, the wood here is too brittle that if you actually touch it it will break like porcelain.

And if you want to hunt monsters here, you don't even know if the monster or animal here is edible.

Lou helplessly looks at her teacher, thank goodness Lou research on the internet what kind of place they will be going to venture.

Lou brings a month's worth of wood and food, but the sleeping bag is only one because he thought that her teacher had one.

He also brought a bunch of clothing if he ever his clothing damage while venturing in this dangerous place.

On the other hand, Mafuyu don't have food, clothing, and shelter for tonight.

"Okay, maybe we can find something while on the journey," Lou said." Sensei, if you find any available resource in the way please don't hesitate to stop so that we can collect it"

"I know," Mafuyu said, she did not expect that the blunder that she made this time is a big disaster.

After eating they both continue on their journey, Lou's task this time is not to enjoy the scenery but to find additional resources for her teacher.

"Sensei, go to that tree we can use that as firewood later"

Lou walked and chipped the tree to add in her stack of firewood.

After a few minutes.

"Look at a bunch of mushrooms, can we take it?" Mafuyu asked.

Lou used his identify skill and see that all of that is a poison," No, we can't eat that, its poisonous"

"What about that one,"

"That's good, we can make tea later to warm our self"

"A group of wild Cariboo lets hunt for their meat"

"There's a white giant bear, i think his meat is delicious than that odd-looking deer"

"Then let's hunt that too"

And then the wild hunt starts, because they need more resources, Lou and Mafuyu take all the resources that are available in their way.

Going deeper inside of this field is dangerous, there's plenty of monsters inside so hunting and forging is impossible.

And night pass, they hunt enough that they can feed themself for the whole week just from the fruits and berries that they got.

Lou then found something interesting again, Mafuyu actually doesn't know how to cook or even building their own shelter is impossible for him.

He doesn't know what kind of life this woman really has before becoming a teacher.

She is too well educated when it comes to behaving and carrying herself.

But she lacks some important aspects that a woman should have, like cooking, cleaning, being well prepared and even the simplest thing such as boiling water.

Thats right, boiling water, Lou actually takes out his new camping equipment and asks Mafuyu to boil water for tea.

Mafuyu takes it and puts some snow on it then boils it, seeing that he at least knows how to boil water. Lou clam makes a snow house and ready all the sleeping equipment inside.

When he goes back, Lou is horrified that his new camping can look like an old black camping can and the firewood is almost burning out.

And water? She didn't even get a cup of hot water from almost half an hour of boiling snow.

Lou want to get angry but he is too tired and hungry to get angry at her, he just take out his knife to prepare dinner and boil again

Mafuyu who made a blunder again embarrassed herself by sitting beside Lou while watching what he's doing right now.

Trying to learn everything that she can learn from Lou, so that next time, she will not make the same mistake again.

After eating and cleaning up, there's another problem that the two of them are facing right now.

And that is the sleeping bag is only one while there's two of them, even Mafuyu who always done a stupid or careless mistake knew that they will not going to fit if that sleeping bag.

"So what are we going to do?" Mafuyu asked.

Lou helpless sigh" You can take the sleeping bag while i sleep at the bear's pelt"

Lou then make a improvise pillow and cover himself with the thick felt so that he can rest tonight

"Good night, Miss.blunder," Lou sleepy said.

"Umm," Mafuyu softly replied.
