3. The Laws of Nature

The hunter Itsukushima provided Yume with the bare minimum of gear, and immediately took her out into the forest near Alterna.

“I used to be a volunteer soldier like you. But I quit. You know why?”

“Hmm. You wanted money to play around? Or somethin’ like that?”

“I’m not a robber,” he said with exasperation.

“Sorry, Itsukushima. Yume, she just said whatever came to mind!”

“Don’t just say things at random... Well, whatever. Listen up. Ever since joining the hunters’ guild as a volunteer soldier trainee, I’ve always been a hunter. It’s been twenty years now. Life as a hunter suits me, so I wanted to be a hunter more than I wanted to be a volunteer soldier. That’s why I quit being a volunteer soldier and changed trades to be a hunter.”

“Mm-hm. Mm-hm. You’re so cool, Itsukushima.”

“I... I am?”

“Yume wouldn’t know, but she thinks you’re cool. Do you think Yume can become a hunter like you?”

“If you’re serious about it, then maybe. By the way, about the way you address me...”

“Itsukushimaaaa?”

“That. That’s what I mean. You’re not poking fun at me like that, are you?”

“Mew?” Yume crossed her arms and cocked her head to the side. She clapped her hands. She knew what poking fun must mean.

Yume thrust her hands under Itsukushima’s armpits and started wiggling her fingers around.

“Wahah?! Wait?! Hey, Yume?! What are you doing?! Wahahah! Wahahahah?!”

“This’s it, right? Huh? This’s poking fun at you, right?”

“N-No! Stop! Stop it! I-I’m weak there! Stop...!”

“Okaaaay! Stoppin’ now!”

“Hahh... Hahh... Hahh... Hahh... Wh-What are you doing to me...?”

“Yume thought she was pokin’ some fun at you. Was she wrong?”

“That’s tickling! It may involve poking, and you may think it’s fun, but they’re different things! Okay?!”

“Ohhh. It is, huh? Yume got it wrong. Sorry about that, Itsukushima.”

“There, again! Why do you keep addressing me with no honorific?!”

“But you’re Itsukushima, aren’t you?”

“I’m Itsukushima! Yes, I’m Itsukushima! That is not the point here!”

“What is the point here?”

“No, hold on.”

“Holdin’ on.”

“This is wrong. It’s wrong. This isn’t the kind of guy I am. It shouldn’t be. So why...?”

Itsukushima hung his head, mumbling something to himself.

Not sure how long this was going to take, Yume crouched down, resting her hands on her palms so she could relax as she waited.

She was getting sleepier and sleepier, so she sat down on the ground. Her eyelids felt heavy...

“Heyyyyyy?! What’re you sleeping for?! Is it time to sleep?!” he shouted.

“...Fumew?” Yume raised her face, then waved her hand. “Hey, it’s Itsukushima.”

“Yes, of course I’m Itsukushima! It’d be weird if I changed into someone else, wouldn’t it?!”

“Yeah, it would, huh? But still, Yume, she’s glad you’re Itsukushima.”

“H-How so?”

“Itsukushima, from the very beginnin’, you’ve talked to Yume a lot. You seem like you’ll teach her lots about bein’ a hunter. Yume’s glad she was able to meet you.”

“O-Oh, yeah? W-Well, then. I do plan to teach you. But first. First, we need to make the relationship between us clear.”

“What’s the relationship between Yume and Itsukushima?”

“D-Don’t say that with those beady little eyes upturned. You’re making this harder on me.
