79 – Bear Zone (3)

A bear is wandering in the distance.

Chester and Monia watched the bear carefully, hiding behind a tree.

“With my smell… Won’t you be noticed?”

“You must have already been caught.”

The two spoke quietly so as not to irritate the bear.

“But he ate a lot of ant wolves a while ago, so if he’s lucky, he’ll just ignore us and leave.”

“… … What if you’re out of luck?”

“I’ll pounce.”

Monia’s body stiffened at the firm answer.

Chester took out the red pepper powder bomb he had left on his waistband while saying it was okay to Monia, who burrowed deeper into his body.

The red pepper powder bomb, which was wrapped in two twigs and tied with a string, was easily removed by tearing off the leaves.

While holding the red pepper powder bomb in his hand, Chester realized that his body was hardened by the cold sweat and tension running through his body.

“Whoa… Sigh… .”

Take a deep breath quietly.

However, even if they had the experience of scaring away a bear once, the trauma did not easily disappear.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Monia was confused whether the sound she heard in her ears was Chester’s heartbeat or her own.

But what was clear was that Chester, who was now hugging him as if to protect him, was also afraid of a bear roaming around at close range.

First of all, Monia took out the red pepper powder bomb attached to her waist, as Chester had said before entering the bear area.

Whether it hits or not, throw this at the bear, that’s how I was taught.

But.

Can this alone defeat the bear?

‘Mu, of course Ant was also very weak against peppers.’

Aren’t bears incredibly strong compared to Ant?

Monia held the red pepper powder bomb tightly with both hands, thinking simply that if she was strong, she could tolerate pain better.

No matter what the two of them were thinking, tension and fear, the bear, which had been roaming around, didn’t care, sat down on the spot, and began licking the blood off its front paws.

Chester nearly choked as he carefully peered through the trees to see what the bear was doing when it suddenly didn’t seem to move.

‘Oh, Mr.!’

The bear was licking its front paws with its back leaning against the tree where Chester and Monia were hiding.

Chester, who had turned his head, was horrified to see the back of the bear’s head right in front of him.

“Why, why?”

Chester held Monia’s mouth shut and covered it with her hand.

And with a simple gesture, he let me know that the bear was right behind me.

You never know what sounds they make will stimulate the bears.

So all I can do is hold my breath as much as possible, stay still, and be careful without making a sound.

At first, the bear licked its front paws, but then started licking everything its tongue touched, and when it finished grooming itself, it sat still and began to kill time.

‘… … ! just! A little! good! Anywhere!’

Why don’t you move like this!

Chester resented the bear.

Did you hear that voice of resentment?

The bear, which had been still for a while, began to move.

As soon as the bear began to move, Chester also used his five senses to monitor the bear’s movements.

As a result of Chester’s examination, the bear… … .

‘Ah, sir!’

I started to get a good night’s sleep.

However, I didn’t know that this might not be a bad thing.

“… … Monia.”

Chester opened his mouth again.

“yes.”

“The bear is sleeping now.”

“… !”

Chester’s words shocked Monia as well.

If they sleep, then doesn’t that mean that they, too, will have to stay still here for a while?

“If you see that they don’t pay attention to us, it might be because they’re full and they don’t pay attention to us.”

“ah.”

Chester’s explanation seemed hopeful.

“Understand? Be careful not to wake the sleeping bear and move carefully.”

“… Yes.”

Monia nodded, and Chester untied his arm around Monia and slowly, slowly rose from his seat.

Monia and Ant also slowly got up from their seats following Chester.

“… … .”

“… … .”

– … … .

The three of them got up like that, and moved their steps more carefully and with much more care than they usually did when they were searching and carefully, so as not to make even the slightest sound.

Fast rather than slow, with an ambiguous gait that is slower than normal.

After walking some distance from the bear, Chester signaled to walk a little faster.

And when the three of them got a little faster, a cold wind blew through the forest.

It was a little lighter than a breeze, and only the dried and lightened leaves piled up on the floor were a breeze that lifted them a little.

It was not easy to bear the cold chill that suddenly attacked the body that was in a state of tension.

Unknowingly, while the bodies of the three stopped, the bear, awakened by the same sudden cold wind, opened his eyes.

As Chester urged Monia and Ant to step forward again, the bear awoke and suddenly felt that the smell he had been smelling around him had moved away and looked in that direction.

And.

The bear got up when he saw the two creatures he had never seen on the island and the animal he had just eaten.

wake up, get out of bed

It was a series of processes that could not be said to be particularly special, but the moment he confirmed that the bear that had risen was clearly turning its head toward them and stretching, Chester shouted.

“run!”

Chester shoved Monia’s back with a cry, and Monia started running forward without realizing it.

After confirming that Monia was running, Chester started to run after the bear, watching the bear’s condition with a sidelong glance, and using that as a signal, the bear also started to run.

“uh? uh?! I-Didn’t I say you shouldn’t run away like this?!”

“Yes, I did! If you show your back and run away, they’ll run!”

“Then it shouldn’t be like this! Tea, I’d rather climb a tree!”

“Bears can climb trees!”

“Yes?! No, what did he say about a tree that even us ants can’t climb!”

“And whether we walked or stopped, we would have run!”

Because the bear decided to eat them.

And Chester decided to put his trust in the weapon in his hands, unsure whether it would perform as well as he had envisioned because he had never used it before.

It’s a gamble, but if you don’t gamble, you can’t escape the bear.

Contrary to its round appearance, the bear was catching up with Chester and Monia in an instant, kicking the ground wildly.

One second, one second.

As time goes by, the bear comes closer.

He runs through the forest desperately using his limbs, but closes the distance as if making all such efforts futile.

“Hick! Hee! Hee hee!!”

I could feel Monia, who only looked forward and ran.

That sound approaching at frighteningly fast speed! I feel like I can hear that sound right behind my back.

then then

Chester tossed the cayenne pepper bomb in his hand at the bear.

Chester’s pepper powder bomb flew right in and hit the forehead of the charging bear, and as the outer pottery broke, the pepper powder inside spread out and stuck to the bear’s face.

– Whoa?!

The bear’s paws are entangled in the unexpected attack and the dizzying pain in its eyes, causing its body to roll.

– Goo! That! that’s it! oh oh oh!!

The red pepper powder goes deep into the eyes as well as the nose where it breathes, harassing the bear.

– Gooo!!

The cry of a bear in agony, feeling pain that he had never felt in his life, and that he would never have felt in his life if he had lived a normal life.

– Whoaaa!!

Leaving behind the bear’s pitiful cry, Chester and Monia safely left the bear’s territory.

* * *

“no! at there! Sigh! The wind! Whoa! Why! haaa! suddenly!!”

“Something like this happens.”

Monia, who managed to get out of the bear area and reach the house area, leaned against a tree and gasped.

No matter how hard I ran, I couldn’t feel my limbs, and my lungs, which had worked so hard to send oxygen to the whole body, complained of pain as if they were going to burst at any moment.

Next to Monia, who seemed half-conscious, Chester looked at the darkness of the forest, wiping away beads of sweat and being wary of a bear.

“Sup… Whoa.”

Indeed, running for so long must have been quite difficult for Chester, and his breathing was disturbed, as was Ant, who was drooping beside him.

“ah.”

Chester, who tried to take out a new red pepper powder bomb just in case while adjusting his breathing, found that the red pepper powder bombs that were shaking while running wildly collided with each other and broke.

“Oh no, I didn’t tie them side by side. I thought it would be fine because of the leaves. Monia, yours?”

“The one is… … gulp. Sigh. So… .”

Monia tried to answer Chester’s question, but when she opened her mouth, the spittle that was about to overflow or the breath that was blocking her breath prevented her from saying anything, so she held out the red pepper powder bomb she was holding in her hand in silence.

Two red pepper powder bombs Monia had.

Thanks to running with one in hand, both were unharmed.

“It’s fortunate.”

After accepting Monia’s pepper powder bomb, Chester became alert again.

“Monia, wake up. No matter how hard it is, let’s go home and rest.”

“Yes. yes. Huh. okay because OK… . Coke! Coke!”

Seeing Monia coughing without answering, Chester quietly handed over the water bottle.

So the two settled down in the woods right near the house and took a break for a while.

While feeling the vague presence of the bear behind your back.
