Chapter 218.2 - Relight and Spirit of Fire
Well, not that I can make fire if I keep rubbing a pole of wood non-stop.
All hail civilization.
Since I had already gathered the branches around this area, the preparation for the bonfire was completed.
Let's ignite the small branch first!
Ah, dammit, why won't it buOuch!?
Dammit, it seems I underestimated the art of making fire.
If I keep lighting the branch for a long time, the fuel of the lighter might run out quickly. It would be better if I managed to ignite it quickly.
Is this the pattern where I should start by burning the paper first?
Tch, can't be helped.
Let's sacrifice one of the loose leaves to build a fire!
Yeah, good job, keep burning like tha
I threw the burnt paper and yet again, it burned out immediately.
The fire transferred to the twig, alas, it didn't get bigger.
Cr*p, this is more hardcore than I thought.
I thought building a bonfire was a piece of cake with my lighter, alas, it seems I had really underestimated its difficulties.
No, wait a minute, take a breath first, calm down. I'm pretty much aware of the reason for that. The twig that ignited first was too big.
Ah right, fallen leaves, I've to fill it with fallen leaves!
It was literally everywhere and easier to be used to ignite than a twig.
Thus, I ran around the riverside to gather the fallen leaves. However, since it still had some moisture from the ground, I could hardly find any dry leaves around.
Dammit, ain't this already evening!
Well, this much should be enough, I mean, the sun had already set by the time I gathered this much.
Cr*p, at this rate, we'll be surrounded by total darkness when night comes. The one thing I could do right now was use the smartphone battery. But it had to be saved for the last moment, this wasn't the time to use it.
Okay, calm down first, I'll definitely make a bonfire this time.
I ripped the second paper from the loose leaves and lit it up with a lighter.
Sshh!That's the sound of a spark And it died.
Fudge.
Ssh! Ssh!
The spark only stayed for a short while before it completely died.
Fudge It's out of fuel
Ar-Are you kidding me?! I actually used up the fuel for making the bonfire.
In the end, my biggest failure was actually using the lighter to make a bonfire rather Making a bonfire is impossible for a civilized man
Se-Seriously, what should I do now?
If I failed to make a bonfire, I wouldn't be able to eat the fish caught by Kinako. Should I just eat the raw fish while preparing for the worst situation due to parasites? I mean, do I really have no choice but to eat sashimi?
NUAAAAAAAAAAAA, WAIT, I BEG YOU PLEASE! PLEASE BURN A WHILE LONGER! JUST ONE MORE TIME PLEASE!?
In the end, the fire went off, leaving only the spark from the ignition stone.
Dammit I'm screwed This lighter was already useless.
Hi
At that moment, what I saw was not a spark or fire, it was something else.
Need fire?
It was a human stick-like figure glowing red that came out from the nozzle of the lighter.
No, Relight. Important. Last meal.
Ah, you're absolutely right Still, it's better to enjoy this together, Kinako!
I scraped my desire to monopolize the last bite of Japanese food, stabbed one of the fried bean curds with my chopstick, and offered it to Kinako.
No, Relight!
Don't worry about it! This is the only way for me to repay what you've done for me, Kinako.
Kinako had already saved my hide so many times in just one day.
My heart was about to break when I was left alone in the forest.
Yet, Kinako came and accompanied me.
We got attacked by a horde of gomas.
But once again, Kinako beat our attackers.
Even the fish for our dinner this time.
Kinako was the one who caught the fish for us.
Yes, I wouldn't be able to do anything without Kinako, I would have died for sure if I were by myself. I might not have even survived the first day.
And yet, how could a useless baggage like me eat deliciously by myself?
I'm weak. Humans are weak and are at the mercy of the mother of nature. I might end up becoming a piece of baggage for you tomorrow, not to mention that my leg is also pretty weak.
Relight, don't worry, about that.
Don't worry Kinako. I fully understand just how useless I am.
Dammit, I couldn't help but want to cry admitting my weakness.
I mean, now I had fully realized just how useless I was.
That's why since this is the last fried bean curd I want to share it with you.
Relight
Look, you want to have a taste, eat up!
Kinako seemed to be trying to hold his desire for a while now, however, there was a strong appetizing aroma emanating from the fried bean curd that was reheated on the bonfire.
Kinako's drool was like a waterfall.
I wouldn't say it was improper. I mean, raw food was the norm for a bear like Kinako, that's why the taste of cooked meat would be like something from another dimension for him.
Thank you, Relight.
Don't worry, you're my best friend, right?
Thus, Kinako ate the fried bean curd.
Puu! Pu, Puu, SO TASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!
Hahahaha, I told you it's delicious right!
Delicious! ASTY! SUPERB!!!
Okay, another one!
NMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Yeah, it's super tasty. Yup, eating together made the meal feel much tastier.
