Chapter 58: A Happiness That's a Headache
"When did you get this, Yukino?"
Yukino then explained how she pulled the long spear out of the Bear's body.
She also didn't hide the fact that her strength had increased.
It seemed to be a reward for killing the giant bear—a skill stone.
As for her physical strength...
Yukino's average attribute value was now more than two hundred, so it was only natural that her body was twice as strong as an ordinary person.
"This stone is very useful. It's related to the skill I used today."
Jun gave the glowing skill stone back to the girl.
"Take good care of it, okay."
Maybe the girls could use it one day.
To unlock the next skill, Jun needed to reach an average attribute value of 400 points and combine three skill stones.
Only then could he unlock the next skill.
This requirement is very difficult.
It's better to let the girls use it for now.
Yukino carefully stored the stone.
"Yukino, if you're full, let's do something more meaningful."
Jun said this while moving the girl onto his lap so that she was facing him.
"Something... more meaningful?"
Yukino was surprised that the young man in front of her showed who he really was so quickly.
The girl blushed again, embarrassed.
"What do you think it is?"
Jun lifted the girl's chin with his hands and gently kissed her.
Megumi and the others weren't there, so this was a great chance.
Since he kissed that girl last time, Jun really wanted to kiss more.
"Wait a minute..."
Yukino gently pushed the young man away.
She was excited for the kiss, but now...
Yukino, who was almost completely well, realized that she needed to pee.
But she was embarrassed, so she forgot about it.
Now, she really couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Why are you panicking all of a sudden?"
Jun felt a little annoyed because he had just touched the girl's lips, but she rejected him.
Yukino held her lower abdomen, then ran away from Jun.
"Oh... so that's why."
Jun realized that Yukino really couldn't hold her pee.
It's too bad. It had just started, and now it had to stop.
After Yukino left, Jun saw that the girls from the river had already returned.
It seemed like there was no more chance to "tease" Yukino today.
At least... not today.

"How is it?"
I asked one of the girls.
After they finished bathing, the savage girl named Nanako was dressed in clean leather clothes by the girls.
The clothes she was now wearing were made of boar skin and tree bark. They were roughly woven, but they were still far more comfortable and presentable than the grass outfit she had before.
"It's amazing how you girls could turn two sheets of boar hide into clothes so quickly."
Jun nodded in agreement.
This savage girl—or, rather, this little girl Nanako—was very cute.
Her skin was very white, and she had her hair tied in two ponytails with headbands.
Her twin tails actually suit her quite well.
But where did she get that ribbon? Wait, didn't Yuigahama-san lose something earlier?
Jun just realized that the decorative balls on Yui's head were gone.
But luckily, the "balls" on her chest were still there.
Actually... Without it, Yuigahama-san looks more attractive.
This was the first time Jun saw Yuigahama-san letting her hair down to cover her shoulders like this.
It felt a little strange at first, but it was still attractive.
Jun looked at Yui's new look.
Yui lowered her head slightly, then lifted her face again, looking cheerful.
"How is it? My hair like this..."
Even though she was smiling, Yui was actually feeling a little nervous.
Do I look weird? She felt insecure.
"I think it looks good."
Jun answered sincerely.
And suddenly, someone stepped on the back of his foot without him noticing...
"Onii-chan, we should talk about tomorrow's plan," said Megumi.
"That's right, Jun-kun. You can admire her anytime, so there's no need to rush."
Utaha sounded a little jealous...
Jun looked away, then went back to sit in front of the campfire and waited for Yukino to return from her errand.
Meanwhile, Nanako seemed to be more aware of Jun's role in the group.
She looked puzzled.
In her tribe, the chief was the most powerful person, but here, it felt a bit strange.
"Tomorrow, Yukino will teach Nanako language and manners,"
Jun said, "Yukino, when you get back, you'll know what you need to do tomorrow."
Yukino didn't expect that she would be the one to "teach" the savage girl.
"Hm..."
"Yukino seems like she's good at teaching kids. So I'll leave Nanako to you."
The real reason was that Jun felt the girl had pushed her body too hard earlier and hadn't fully recovered.
It would be better to rest for one more day.
Jun looked at the dead giant bear on the riverbank.
Starting tomorrow, they had to remove the skin and take the meat right away.
Hopefully, it could be finished in one day.
This was hard work.
But to prevent the meat from rotting and attracting other wild animals, they had to move quickly.
Hopefully, tonight will be enough to keep the meat from spoiling.
Luckily, the weather was cold, so there was a lower chance of it going bad.
Jun was still curious to taste the bear's paw.
But the most important thing was its fur. If they wear clothes made from this bear's hide, they should be able to survive the winter comfortably.
A bear this big should be enough to make six or seven pieces of clothing.
Jun stared at the bear's body, already thinking about how to use every part.
Yes, every part—because he just realized the bear was male.
You must have big kidneys. Even pig kidneys taste good when you grill them. How would bear kidneys taste?
"Onii-chan, we still have a lot of snake and bird meat we haven't eaten yet,"
Megumi's soft voice was heard, reminding her brother.
Consuming too much hunted meat was also not a good idea. This is because the meat spoiled easily.
They didn't have a refrigerator to store everything.
