"It looks like it's going to rain...... Ogata looked up and saw that dark clouds were gathering in the western sky, and the clouds were expanding and "invading" the sky at a rapid pace.

Amachi, who had just smashed Kazejuro's bow, stood up clapping his hands and looked at the western sky with Ogata.

"Really...... And judging from the color of this dark cloud, the rain may not be small. Let's find a shelter from the rain now. I don't want to wear wet clothes...... Well? Look. ”

Amachi suddenly pointed to the east.

Ogata looked in the direction that Amachi's finger was pointing.

In the distance to the east, a cloud of orange smoke swayed from the ground to the sky.

Looking at the orange smoke in the distance, which pierced the sky, Ogata frowned slightly.

"Hmm...... This may be a trap. With his hands on top of his eyebrows, he looked at the orange smoke in the distance, "specifically to lure the curious fools." ”

"There are always some curious fools who will fall into this kind of low-level role. Lure these curious fools over, and then kill them and take away their supplies. ”

As soon as Amachi's words fell, Xu Yi answered softly:

"It could also be a sign that someone is contacting their peers...... In short, whether it is a trap or a signal to contact one's companions, the person who dares to put such a conspicuous orange smoke in such a big way must be a person who is very bold and confident in his own skills. ”

"Shall we go and see?" Amachi looked at Ogata.

"What are you going to see? It's so far away that it's already raining when you get there, so let's find a place to hide from the rain. ”

……

……

At the same time—

Beneath this orange smoke—

Manomiya sat beside the fire, which was constantly emitting orange smoke, and wiped the lenses of his glasses with a small clean cloth.

Suddenly—the fingers of the palace wiping the lenses paused.

Slanted his gaze and looked at the woods beside him.

In the woods on the side of the palace, a strong man with a majestic figure was carrying a large sword, and walked straight towards the palace with a big grin.

Although he can't see the appearance of this strong man clearly because he doesn't wear glasses now, even if he can't see clearly, he can still recognize this companion who has been fighting side by side with him for many years based on this vague outline.

"Yo! Mamiya! ”

The strong man, who had completely walked out of the gloomy woods, shouted enthusiastically to Asamanomiya.

"It's been a long time!"

Mamiya put the wiped glasses back on his face and responded in a half-joking tone:

"Dragon, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Do you have more stubble on your face? ”

"Don't call that nickname!" Makimura said angrily, "You did it on purpose, right?" I know I don't like this nickname, but it's always in front of me! ”

"How can I be called a 'dragon' in my pastoral village?"

"The person who is qualified to be named 'Dragon' is probably only one of Yuanda!"

"Just kidding you." Mamiya shrugged, "You're coming much faster than I thought, I thought I'd have to wait until dark to wait for you to come." ”

"Good luck." Makimura said, "My landing site is not far away. ”

"That's ......," Mamiya nodded slightly, "In that case, the two of us will be very close to each other." ”

Mamiya angrily pouted at the coast behind him:

"I'm landing here."

"Alright, we've landed successfully. So – what are we going to do now? ”

Makimura said? He yawned vigorously.

"Mamiya? I've said the ugly thing in front of me - when I first learned that you and I were in charge of the Kii trip, I made up my mind: everything that requires the use of my brain? It's up to you. So I'll do whatever you say. ”

"Don't say 'lazy' so reasonably......" Ma Miya smiled helplessly? " Now let's find a place to shelter from the rain. ”

Mamiya raised his chin towards the western sky, then continued:

"It's about to rain? Find a place to shelter from the rain first. ”

"When the rain stops, let's move deeper into the island? Look for cannibals. ”

"While looking for a man-eater? By the way, I will find someone. ”

"Alone?" Makimura raised an eyebrow, "Who?" ”

"A guy I met by chance before I was sent to Kii."

An intriguing look appeared on Mamiya's face.

"He might be an important helper for us. And...... I also have some questions to ask him. ”

"Oh? Is he strong? ”

"Very strong." Without thinking, Mamiya replied, "If I don't come out with some real skills?" Not his opponent. ”

"Ho ho~" Makimura touched the stubble on his chin? While muttering, "Mamiya, as soon as you say that, it arouses my interest." What's his name? ”

"Let me sell it. When I find him, I'll slowly introduce you to him. ”

……

……

La-la......-la

Raindrops pouring down from the sky? Lapping on the rock walls, leaves, and grass, splashing patches of mist. Extremely low cloud pressure? It's breathless.

Layers of rain blocked Ogata's view, making it difficult for Ogata to see the scenery in the distance.

Ogata and Amachi had quite good luck.

Moments before a rainstorm falls? Just in time I found a place to shelter from the rain - a cave that is not too small.

The cave is quite spacious, more than enough for 2 people to live in it.

The two of them just stepped into this cave? It rained heavily in the sky—and the two of them were not untimely.

Slab, slab, slab......

While Ogata was bored watching the rain outside the cave? Amachi is sitting deep inside the cave? With her stalk, she slashed the trunk of a tree as thick as a baby's arm.

According to Amachi, she is making drinking water cups.

"That's it! That's it! ”

The sound of "smashing" fell, and the energetic voice of Amachi sounded.

Ogata turned his head and saw Amachi throwing two small wooden tubes at him.

"Give, Essee. Catch some rain, I'm dying of thirst. ”

Ogata looked the two small wooden tubes in his hand up and down.

Although it is a little rough, it is more than enough to hold water.

"What a coincidence you've succeeded......"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Amachi smiled, "I have a lot of skills." ”

Since he landed on this island, Ogata has not eaten a drop of water, and his mouth has long been dry.

After sticking the two wooden tubes out of the cave and filling them with rainwater, Ogata slowly walked back to the depths of the cave and handed one of the wooden cylinders filled with rainwater back to Amachi.
