About ten minutes after Aiha entered the forest, I followed her in. I could probably have started right away without her catching me, but I figured it was better to be careful.

Aiha was tracking monsters, while I was tracking her. With the help of the wind spirits and the trees, I was able to keep track of her movements and maintain a steady distance between us. To be honest, as someone who had only begun learning how to survive in the forest, and as a human no less, the pace she kept was agonizingly slow for me. The amount of ground I could cover in a day would take her multiple, if not even longer.

Still, I didn’t say or do anything to help her. I only watched silently from a distance, as per my role. In a way, this was a trial for me as well.

The target for Aiha’s hunt was a pack of large-fanged weasels. As their name suggested, they were a monster born from weasels with uniquely large fangs, about the size of a large dog. They were quick, deadly with their large fangs, and surprisingly intelligent. They weren’t all that strong as far as monsters went, but dealing with them as a group would be bothersome.

Also, even though they traveled in packs, it was usually only in groups of three. The exception was for reproduction and child-rearing, where they would come together in larger groups once every few years, staying together for about three months. In short, there was little need to worry about that happening.

As for why they traveled in groups of three, that had yet to be discovered. Two of them were typically coupled, while the third operated alongside them without interfering with their relationship. The leftover third weasel wasn’t consistently a male or female either.

It was possible this third served as a protector for the couple’s children, or would act as bait so that the couple could escape from danger. At any rate, thinking so hard about monsters would only make them harder to hunt.

Both the weasels’ large fangs and pelts were useful, with the teeth being especially valuable for their sturdiness and sharpness. Their meat was technically edible, but without spending time drying it out or pickling it in the juices of certain plants, the smell made it hard to eat. If you knew what you were doing it could taste fine, but it wasn’t really something you hunted for.

In this case, I didn’t expect her to bring any meat back with her. If she was successful, I didn’t imagine she would carry much back but the teeth. I preferred to use as much of my prey as possible when I hunted, including the meat if it was edible, but I had no intention of forcing that principle on others. And besides, if I was going to hunt something, I’d pick something that tasted better.
