I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Although Aiyaka doesn't know swordsmanship, and he doesn't know anything about Kazuto's swordsmanship, but as a hunter who has been accompanied by blood and death for many years, he instinctively felt that Ogata's knife just now was quite powerful, and he was accurate and hated.

"Mashima, I didn't expect your sword skills to be so good."

"I have learned a little bit of swordsmanship in Izumo before. It's just a small advantage that is not worth mentioning." Ogata smiled as he took back the sheath that had wiped off the blood and fat.

When hearing Aiyaka's compliment to him, Ogata somehow thought of Mamiya whom he hadn't seen for a while.

So subconsciously blurted out what Gamiya said most often.

Aiyaka walked quickly to the side of the dead bear, checking the condition of the bear.

"Well. It's dead." After that, Aiyaka turned his head and looked at the two Ezo who were attacked by the bear just now and were still lying on the ground crying, "I'll go Look at the situation of those two people."

"I recognize those two people, and those two people seem to be hunters from Hege Village."

Ogata followed Aiyaka and ran towards the two Ezos.

These two Ezo are very young.Age appears to be no more than 2 years old.

One of them was injured in his left arm, and the whole arm was covered with blood. He hugged his injured left arm, rolled and wailed on the ground constantly.

The other person was injured more seriously. He seemed to have been injured in the chest, and the blood dripping from the wound even stained the clothes on his upper body red.

This Ezo, whose chest was injured, was the one who was overwhelmed by the giant bear just now.

If Ogata and the others hadn't arrived in time, the man might have been bitten to death by that giant bear.

Aiyaka took the lead in checking the condition of the seriously injured person.

Aiyaka: "&p;p;!!&p;p;!"

Ezo, who was seriously injured: "I'm fine."

Aiyaka babbled a lot just now in the Einu language, and Ogata couldn't understand it at all.

But Ogata understood the response of the seriously injured Ezo and said he was fine.

The reason why Ogata could understand what this Ainu said was because he and A-Machi had been carefully learning common words in Ainu from the "Guide to Common Phrases in Ainu".

The phrase "It doesn't matter" was taught in the "Guide to Common Phrases in the Ainu Language", and Ogata also happened to learn this sentence.

Since this Ezo said he was okay, Ogata guessed that Aiyaka was asking this Ezo if it was okay just now.

Aiyaka tore off the clothes on Ezo's chest to examine his injuries.

When Aiyaka checked his injuries, the Ezo said "thank you" to Aiyaka in Ainu language.

Then he turned his head and looked at Ogata who was standing beside Aiyaka.

First, he looked Ogata up and down with surprised eyes, and then said in Einu language:

"thank you"

"He said thank you." Aiyaka translated for him.

Aiyaka actually didn't need to translate for Ogata, as Ogata could understand the thank you that Ezo said just now.

"Thank you" is a highly used word no matter which ethnicity you are in. The first page of the "Common Teaching Guide to Ainu Language" teaches the word "thank you".

"Aiyaka, help me translate." Ogata said softly, "You're welcome, I just did some small things within my ability."

Ogata himself is also a person who has suffered countless injuries.

Since traveling to the Edo period, he can't count how many injuries he has suffered.

Because of too many injuries, Ogata has now cultivated some eyesight to see wounds.

According to Ogata's observation, the wounds on these two people were not serious.

The person with the left arm injury had no serious injuries other than the left arm injury.

The person with the chest injury, although his chest was injured, but fortunately the wound was not deep, and no artery was damaged.

These two are also lucky.

Especially the one with the chest injury, who was overwhelmed by the bear, only suffered such a small injury. It is not qualified to describe it as luck in misfortune.

After taking a brief look at their injuries, Aiyaka turned to Ogata and said:

"Mashima, can you help me? Let me move these two people to the hunting lodge where we stayed just now. Although their injuries are not fatal, it's better to deal with them quickly."

"Let's keep that bear until later and deal with it slowly."

Aiyaka carried the Ezo who was injured in the chest, and Ogata carried the Ezo who was injured in the arm.

The two carried the injured two people on their backs and brought them back to the hunting lodge where they had just lived.

Aiyaka carried medicinal herbs that could heal wounds, as well as clean cloths for bandaging wounds.

According to Aiyaka, the herb has anti-inflammatory properties and prevents wounds from festering.

After chewing the herbs with his teeth, Aiyaka applied the chewed syrup to the wounds of the two people.

While healing the two people, Aiyaka asked them how they encountered the man-eating bear just now.

The person with the chest injury was not suitable for talking, so Aiyaka asked the person with the injury to the left arm to explain.

The man with the injured left arm couldn't speak Japanese, so after he told their story in Ainu, Aiyaka had to translate it for them.

It turned out that these two people were villagers from Hege Village.

The man with the chest wound was named "Noosa".

The man whose left arm was injured was named "Naikushi".

Hege Village is one of the settlements that responded after the pair of giant man-eating bears appeared and sent people to hunt and kill the pair of giant man-eating bears.

These two people, like Aiyaka, came to hunt the pair of man-eating bears.

Just now, the two of them were passing by nearby, looking for a suitable place to spend the night.

Then he was attacked by the cannibal bear.

The two were walking on the snow, when the man-eating male bear suddenly came out from the darkness and attacked them.

The two lack hunting experience, and this cannibal bear is very cunning and good at hiding, so they have not had this cannibal bear hiding in the dark for a long time.

Although the cannibal bear was not discovered in time, they instinctively hid when the cannibal bear attacked them.

Their instinctive dodge saved them a life.

Nakushi's left arm was scratched by the bear's claw, while Nusa's chest was scratched by the bear's claw, but because of their dodging, neither of them suffered serious injuries.

Being scratched by a bear's paw, not only did they not die, but they were also lucky that they were not seriously injured.

After quietly listening to Aiyaka's translation, Ogata asked Aiyaka with a wry smile:

"That cannibal bear happens to be near us. Could it really be planning to seek revenge on us?"

"It's possible." Aiyaka followed Ogata with a wry smile and nodded, "Otherwise, it's hard to explain why it happened to be so close to us."

"Mashima, it seems that you really hit the spot. It really came back tonight and planned to seek revenge from us."

"I really hope I can say something about other aspects," Ogata sighed in a half-joking tone.

After giving Nakushi and Nusa two people good medicine, they fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion and injuries.

After the two fell asleep, Aiyaka, who was busy, let out a long breath, and then asked Ogata and Acho in a voice that would not disturb the two who had already fallen asleep:

"What kind of weapon did you use to attack that man-eating giant bear just now? A short gun?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew that the weapons Aiyaka was referring to were Su Ying and Kasumi Nagi.

"Yeah." A-Machi replied one step ahead of Ogata, "That's right, it's a short gun."

"It's really amazing that you can shoot so many shots in a row."

"The short guns of the Lucians can only fire once."

"Oh?" Amachi's eyes showed interest, "Have you seen the short guns of the Lucians?"

"Well, I've seen it. Not long ago, a group of Lucians lived in our village for a while."

"It was at that time that I saw the short guns used by the Lucians."

"In addition to short guns, they also have very long guns."

"However, whether it's their short guns or long guns, they can only fire once."

"You can't shoot many rounds in succession like the short guns you use."

"If your short guns were more powerful, there might not be any animals in the entire forest that could be your opponents."

After praising Su Ying and Kasumi, Aiyaka adjusted his sitting posture, and then continued to talk.

This time, Aiyaka's tone was full of emotion.

"The cannibal bear incident is finally over."

“Lucky as hell”

"I thought that even if I followed you, it would take several days before I could hope to kill that man-eating bear."

"I didn't expect the dust to settle so quickly."

"In this way, we can also comfort the souls of the nine compatriots who were unfortunately killed by the pair of man-eating bears."

"Nine people?" Ah-Ming on the side exclaimed in a low voice.

"Yes. That's right, this is only the number we have found so far. The number of people eaten by this pair of man-eating bears must be far more than this number."

"The first time I found this pair of man-eating bears was half a month ago."

"The pair of man-eating bears broke into the village next door to my own in the middle of the night."

"They directly smashed the walls of the house and took away a mother and daughter. They then quickly fled from the village."

"Once a bear eats human flesh, it can only eat human flesh for the rest of its life."

"Although according to our Ainu's traditional concept, the reason why a bear will not be able to eat food other than human flesh for the rest of its life is because it was punished by the gods."

"It is forbidden to eat delicious food such as berries and fish."

"I'm not really a big believer in that."

"In my opinion, the reason why bears will only eat human flesh for the rest of their lives after eating human flesh is because they find that human is more delicious."

"And it was discovered that humans are quite fragile and easy to hunt."

"Without a weapon, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to defeat a bear."

"I guess this pair of man-eating bears should have migrated here from a relatively distant place."

"After the mother and daughter were snatched away and the pair of man-eating bears first appeared in our area, other victims appeared in other villages."

"Since this pair of man-eating bears first appeared in our area, they have eaten a total of 9 people in total."

"The youngest among them is only 9 years old."

Speaking of this, Aiyaka sighed heavily.

"Now that the pair of man-eating bears have been dealt with, the people in the village can finally sleep peacefully."

As soon as Aiyaka's voice fell, Ah-cho immediately asked:

"I'm curious. Don't bears hibernate in winter? Why are the two man-eating bears still walking in the snow like this?"

"This is the misconception that many people often have." Aiyaka smiled wryly and shook his head, "Not all bears hibernate."

"Bears hibernate because there is not much food to eat during the winter, so there is not enough food."

"In order to survive the winter, I hid in the nest and entered a state of half-sleep and half-awake, which is commonly known as hibernation."

"In other words, if there is enough food, bears will not hibernate."

"That's why I think the pair of man-eating bears started eating people very early."

Aiyaka's tone gradually became low.

Because his tone became low, his tone also became strange.

"There is delicious food everywhere, how could they hibernate properly in their nests?"

Ah-Ming shrank her neck.

Ogata couldn't help feeling terrified.

Aiyaka's words just now made her terrified after careful thought.
