Chapter 794: NASM - 794

"Perfect — it sounds like it’s getting closer. I wonder what kind of bear it is? If it’s a grizzly, that’ll be great. Whatever it is though, I can take it down easily. Dinner is finally sorted, and we’ll be able to eat until we’re full!" Hiroshi thought as he hid in the tree, listening intently. He was secretly hoping it would be a very large, fat one.

"Please be a big one... Ah, there it is! It looks huge!" he whispered with a grin as he spotted the creature below.

It was indeed a large, heavy?set animal — looking like it would taste delicious. Right now it was wandering just beneath the tree Hiroshi was hiding in, foraging for food, completely unaware that its time was up and that death was waiting above.

"This is perfect — it’s massive! We’ll definitely eat well tonight. But something this big... I need to finish it off in one strike," he thought, gripping his weapon tightly and staring down at the grizzly bear.

Choosing the right moment, he jumped silently down, landing directly behind the beast. It still hadn’t noticed him — incredibly slow?witted, with no strength or awareness at all; just a regular, weak wild animal.

"Really slow to react... didn’t even feel me land behind it. This will be easier than I thought," he thought happily.

But seeing just how large it was, he realised his current weapon might not be enough. He quietly switched to a long blade instead.

"Better to be safe. This knife will do the job — one clean cut, and it won’t be able to fight back at all," he said softly.

In one swift motion, he swung the blade. The bear fell lifeless instantly. It was over in seconds. Now he just had to drag it back to their camp — finally, they were going to have a proper, satisfying meal.

"I never thought hunting such large animals in this world would be this easy. It’s amazing! Now for the feast!" he murmured, glancing back at the carcass.

It was incredibly heavy. Dragging it took a long time and a lot of effort — but it was all worth it for a good meal.

"I wonder what Harumiko will say when she sees this? She’ll definitely be shocked by the size. First I need to get it back and prepare it properly. There’s way too much meat for just tonight — I’ll have to save some for breakfast and travel food tomorrow," he thought as he hauled it along.

Back at camp, Harumiko had everything ready. As soon as Hiroshi returned with food, they could start cooking immediately.

"I wonder if Hiroshi found anything. If not, we’ll have to eat those dried rations again. But fresh game is so much better — more energy, more flavour, and tastier too," she said, stacking the firewood neatly.

Meanwhile, Hiroshi stopped for a moment, exhausted. The bear was extremely heavy; dragging it all the way here on his own had been quite a struggle.

"I didn’t realise it would weigh this much! This bear has definitely been eating well. But whatever — as long as we get dinner, it’s worth the effort," he said with a grin, dusting off his hands.

He resumed dragging it, though he was now even more worn out and had used up more energy. He knew he’d be eating a huge amount later — this bear really was the perfect meal for them.

It took a full twenty minutes to get back to their resting spot. It had been hard work, but now that he had arrived, he could finally rest for a while.
