CH 92

“Kukuku. That went better than I expected.”

Dogeu smiled as he rode his horse down the road.

“I was just trying to humiliate him, but I didn’t expect to be able to get the Ilkut’s Princess.”

“Besides, he has taken a fool’s bet. I can’t wait to see his cocky face contort.”

Dogeu smiled disgustingly and motioned for his cronies to laugh.

Originally, this hunting festival was set up by several kingdoms.

There are many people who do not like the hero Elt, and some of them acted to humiliate him.

“Did you really think he defeated the Evil God? Isn’t it just something that the temple made up?”

“Not at all. He doesn’t look very strong at all. Perhaps he just happened to be in the place where the Evil God died of age.”

Even though there has been deliberation by the Orb of Truth, some people do not believe it. They believe that the Temple is using Elt to control the people.

“Anyway, I’m going to beat him with this hunt. That’s why I brought out my treasure bow.”

Dogeu looked at the beautiful bow in his hand with fascination. The bow was blessed by the spirit of the wind, and when the arrow was released, the spirit of the wind increased its power and controlled the direction in which it went to pierce the prey.

I have used it on several hunting trips and have been amazed at its accuracy.

“All we need now is to find our prey…”

Dogeu was itching to try out the bow as soon as possible.

“Prince Dogeu. We have found our prey.”

One of his followers came back and pointed in a certain direction.

His cronies kept their mouths shut, and Dogeu looked in that direction.

Then, a few hundred meters away, he saw a medium-sized monster.

“Big Boa. Good find.”

There were trees and leaves growing along the straight line, and since the Big Boa could only occasionally be seen through the gaps, it was usually not easy to kill it.

Dogeu guarded the arrow and squeezed it, then aimed and released it.

”Brilliant!”

The arrow flew as if it were dodging plants and trees, and as soon as it accelerated, it plunged into the big boar.

“It’s no problem.”

Flattered by his cronies, Dogeu looked pleased with himself.

“As long as there’s prey, I can kill everything within a few hundred meters that is in range. Keep finding them at this rate.”

Clenching his bow, Dogeu gave instructions to his followers.

★

“Why did you accept the match?”

Since then, I’ve set some rules.

The hunting festival is attended not only by Dogeu, but also by royalty and nobility close in age to each country.

Dogeu seemed to be hunting with a few of his cronies and declared that each team would share the prey they hunted.

In the first palace, this kind of hunting is supposed to be done by dividing the roles among friends, and it is much easier to do it if there is someone to look out for the enemy and track them down. I heard that at hunting festivals, you basically have to work as a team.

On the other hand, it was just me and Laura. It’s also a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so I let out a sigh.

“I think it’s fine since he’s agreed to it?”

""

Laura nodded her head in response to my protest. I don’t know whether to agree or not, since Alice is not here,

“I guess we just need to not let it get the best of us.”

I’m thinking about apologizing to Alice later, and Laura makes the connection.

“Do you have a plan?”

Laura shakes her head at my question.

She said as she held out the cane in her hand.

“The most important thing when hunting is to be able to find your prey. I can use Search magic, so it’s not a problem for me to locate prey in the forest.”

“I see, so Laura can find the prey and I can hunt it.”

No wonder she accepted the challenge so easily. She must be that confident in her own magic.

“Anyway, let’s give it a try.”

I said, and carried my bow into the forest.

“There’s a rabbit over there.”

The grass swayed where Laura had pointed her staff.

I could see that something white was through the grass.

I took out an arrow from the tube on my back, placed it in my bow and pulled it out.

The commercially available bow is unreliable and changes shape as it receives my power.

I take aim and shoot the arrow at the wild rabbit that flickers in my vision.

–Whoosh–

The arrow moves forward with the sound. My target, a wild rabbit, is only a few dozen meters away.

-Gasasasassaa-

“You missed.”

The arrow I shot snatched the rabbit’s side and flew to the back.

At that moment, the wild rabbit, realizing that it was being targeted, cowered in the grass and ran away.

“It’s okay. I’ll look for the next one.”

Perhaps because I hadn’t been able to kill the prey, Laura let out a sigh and looked deep into the forest.

She was staring at the forest as if something was bothering her, but then she raised her wand and began to use magic.

She closed her eyes and let the magic unfold. Since she is using search magic, all creatures in the vicinity are captured by her.

The time spent searching for prey is reduced to a minimum, so this will allow her to find a few more.

“I guess the problem is me.”

I looked at the commercial bow.

There is a sensation of being pulled just by putting a little effort. This makes it unreliable and likely to break if I put too much force on it.

No matter how well you can find your prey, if you can’t hunt it, you lose the game. If I’m struggling…….

“Who fired this arrow!!”

A man emerged from the depths of the forest.

Translator here, I’ve caught up with the raws for Sacrifice, and I don’t know when the author will post the next one.

Last time the author posted was in July. They wrote that they’re currently writing Volume 2 for the LN so I guess it’s in Hiatus for now.

And they’ve also said that the Volume 2 of the light novel will be different from the WN. Do you want to see the LN translated as well? Let me know in the comments!
