The pair sat still in the middle of the rainforest jungle. Mio was sitting on the ground, humming and smiling while tinkering with her status screen. Meanwhile, Yuu was cutting off branches, planning to make a spear. He remembered some survival video he watched on Yourtube, something about spear was the best survival weapon.
Yuu trimmed the branches and knobs off and made a clean wooden pole, using his dagger, he cut long, thin, vertical strips off the pole until he was left with a shelf for the dagger, cutting his belt and a little bit of his shirt Yuu tied one end of the cordage to the base of the shelf and wrapped the other end around the dagger handle.
But then Mio opened her mouth. "Em... Do you have some food?"
Yuu stopped, sweating slightly from the effort to make a spear. Gritting his teeth, Yuu faced the truth. He wasn't hungry right now but when he heard Mio words the thought of eating and drinking began to fill his mind.
He knew there must be some food out there, but going out there and searching for foods was a big no. "...Why don't you turned into a raptor and go hunting some foods." Yu began to tighten the cordage after he said this.
Holding her rumbling stomach, Mio said "Em... I already reached the limit. Besides, I saved your life, don't you suppose to do me a favor?"
Yu experimentally swung the spear and was pleased to find the dagger didn't fall off; completely ignoring Mio. But after much thought, Indeed, she was saving my ass back then. Taking a deep sigh, with an extra bit of confidence that came from his spear. "Yes, yes... I'll go get some foods for you."
Before Yuu went, Mio called out to him "Em... Yuu, why don't you mark me? just in case... so you can't lost your way."
Thinking that it was a good idea, Yuu walked toward Mio and roughly touched her face. In which she countered by a hard slap on Yuu's right cheek. "Wha..what are you doing, oh right. Mark.. Please do it somewhere else."
Annoyed, with a red hand mark on his check. Yuu pinched Mio's cheek "Mark." Said Yuu. D6 dice appeared from out of the thin air, rolling on the ground and stopping at 5. Followed by A somewhat faintly transparent tattoo appeared on Mio's left cheek.
"E..ehm.. you can use my bag to store the food." Said Mio while she handing Yuu her leather bag.
As Yuu took the bag and walked from the somewhat safe spot. The leaves swayed softly, with every step he took he could hear the sound of crumbling leaves. Remembering the former incident, Yuu walked more slowly and tiptoed towards the treeline while watching to his surrounding.
When he finally found a tree that bore strange fruits, which extended for several meters high. And right on top of that tree, there were several six armed monkeys, slightly bigger than the size of a normal monkey, but their distinctive feature was three arms, each on the side of their body.
Without hesitation, Yuu chose to walk away from the tree, He continued to search for the other source of food, the one that didn't jeopardize his safety, but after the fourth occupied tree, Yuu stomach began rumbling.
Trying his best to holding the hunger, Yuu decided to wait for the group of six armed monkeys to leave from the tree, but because they didn't show any sign of leaving, Yuu grabbed a rock and threw it to the nearby tree, hoping the sound could attract them, like in video game, but a few seconds after it hit the tree, only one monkey checked that.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Right, there is no way that will work.
as Yuu quietly began to walk away.
*Creak*
Yuu's feet was pressing against a dried branch. Slowly, he looked toward his back, eyes scanning. No monkeys, no movement.
...Where do they go?
As Yuu began to walk away from this spot, he heard an extremely heavy breathing sound, leaves fell on his head, without having a chance to look up, a six-armed monkey struck his head.
"Guh.. the fuck?!"
Next, another six-armed monkey rode on his back, followed by a numerous number of punches, scratches and shrieking shout.
"Ook! ook! ook!"
Reflexly Yuu grabbed the six-armed monkey and threw it away. Momentarily he noticed there were six monkeys on the ground and one sitting on the tree, slightly bigger and bulkier than the rest.
Yuu readied his spear and slowly backed away. The six-armed monkeys watched him furiously, one monkey began to move its arm and leaped toward Yuu, in which, with some luck, Yuu instinctively thrust his spear right into the six-armed monkey abdomen. Yuu swung the spear as strong as he could to remove the lifeless body of the six-armed monkey.
Seeing the body of his comrades, the big six-armed monkey jumped to the ground, it began screeching, showing off his sharp teeth and glaring at Yuu's eyes like it wanted to challenge him. Feeling that he couldn't win, Yuu still slowly backing away, but unknown to him, the other monkeys already surrounded him, their hands were slamming at the ground alongside with their screeching shouts.
Now when it came down to this, Yuu supposed he wouldn't get away easily, probably the best way was to fight and kill them.
The big six-armed monkey slowly circling Yuu, and without a moment of notice, it threw specks of dirt toward Yuu, reflexly he closed his eyes. The big six-armed monkey used this chance to pound Yuu, using two of its lower arms and legs it continued by gripping on Yuu's body all while the rest of its arms pummeled him. The other six-armed monkey also began to throw him with rocks.
Meanwhile, Yuu dropped the spear on his right hand, his left hand pulling the big six-armed monkey head, his right fingers shoving into the big six-armed monkey left eye, pulling it away and Yuu following it by pummeling the big six-armed monkey's face.
After the third punch, the big six-armed monkey was letting his grip go, and the fourth punch was throwing the monkey onto the ground.
"Hey, you guys aren't that strong." Said Yuu while he repeatedly stomping the big six-armed monkey's head.
Following their leader demise, the other monkey stopped throwing rocks and began to flee.
Grabbing his spear back "...Oh, right her food."
Climbing the tree and put the strange purple round squishy fruits into the leather bag. "Mark." Yuu began to follow a piece of floating fog that led him back to his camp.
Soon he saw a girl with brown long bob, still sitting in the same spot while humming and drawing something on the ground. Mio stopped her humming and scrambling her drawing when she noticed Yuu presence. "O..oh... you're back, wha?! is that blood?!"
"Yeah, not mine though. Btw here's your food." After Yuu handing Mio her food, he sat in the tree in front of her, taking a piece of cigarette and light it away.
