Arubaba lives in a large, peaceful family.

For generations, their village has lived an isolated life in the forest. It is a beautiful, peaceful and leisure, with sunshine and rainfall, where meat is by hunting and vegetables are by planting, and where the men are strong and tall and the women ...... are also strong and tall.

The people in this big family gathered together to live a self-reliant life, they feel they are living a good, leisurely and comfortable life. They feel that this is the best life.

But Arubaba didn't think so.

He discovered a secret.

It was one dark and windy night when he went out to pee.

He saw the aged priest coming out of the shrine on his crutches and looking up at the moon.

Then following the shadows left by the moonlight, he plowed out an iron box from the side of the thatched pit at the front of the village.

"Priest, what are you doing?"

"Hmm? Arubaba ......" the priest said to him in his old and dry voice, "Just pretend that you saw nothing and go back to sleep."

"What is this that you are holding?" Arubaba's curiosity was aroused.

"It's nothing." He clutched the box to his chest like a guardian of small chickens.

Looking at his sharp eyes, Arubaba said helplessly, "...... I get it."

"That's my good boy ......"

"It must be a little pornographic book book anyway ...... ahhh, should I tell Mother Sofia ......?"

"Hey!"

Mother Sophia, who is nearly one hundred and fifty years old, is the Priest's own mother.

"I really don't know what Mother Sophia would think of it, a 120-year-old priest is actually still ......"

"Wait, that’s not that kind of thing," Priest strongly coughed a few times, "I'll tell you, my mom is not well, don't let her be stimulated."

He sighed and held out the box to Arubaba, "This is a treasure with great magical power left by the only one person in our village who had contact with the outside world ......"

The outside world ......

The outside world that Arubaba had been longing for.

The outside world that once brought countless wealth and convenience to the village.

"By the way," Arubaba asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time, "why we don't send people to the outside world anymore?"

The priest's low, husky voice carried a convincing magic, "The outside world is fierce and cold, full of man-eating traps everywhere, and one mistake can kill you."

"...... I'm not afraid, and I'm going too."

When a person dies, his spirit is destroyed along with his physical body, so Arubaba is not afraid of death, he wants to see the outside world and then also bring advanced technology and tools to the village and become the hero of the village.

"Is that so ......?" The priest sighed.

Then he put Arubaba in a small dark room, saying that he would let Arubaba calm down, and when he forgot about the little pornographic book ...... no, when he figured out when to let Arubaba out.

But Arubaba knew that keeping him here and the stagnation of the village development would not work, it’s foolish and pedantic.

So he pried open the window in the middle of the night and escaped.

Unexpectedly, the priest was standing by the window.

"I knew you would do it, kid," said the priest, handing Arubaba the iron box, "After all, you have a daring heart, just like your grandfather!"

He never thought that his grandfather, whom he had never met, was the ancestor who had left the village.

The priest was so close to his grandfather back then, his grandfather said that if anyone else had the courage to go out of the village in the future, he should give him this box with the key.

Arubaba took the iron box with the key.

"Open it, it is something even I have never seen, a real secret ......"

That was ...... a dozen thick parchment scrolls.

Early the next morning, the priest gathered the whole village in the square and said to them, "Decades ago, Arubaba's grandfather went to the outside world and brought us a better life. Now, Arubaba has survived the ordeal and will once again tread his grandfather's path!"

"And take this with you," the priest handed Arubaba a bell with a beast's head carved on it, "this is our village's greatest treasure, the beast-repelling bell. It can emit a vibration that makes the beast's soul fly away, although we can't hear it ourselves, but the sound is also harmful to our body, don't shake it normally, use it only when this is necessary."

"Well, thank you," said Arubaba respectfully, then turned to Mother Sophia, "May you live long with time."

"Well, good boy ......"

Arubaba set off with the best spear in the village and the blessings of the village and the beast repellent bell.

"By the way," he suddenly turned back towards the crowd at the entrance of the village and shouted, "Priest, I found the little pornographic book you dropped! It was buried in the soil under that iron box! It's still readable!"

"F**k you!" The priest shouted in astonishment.

With immense conviction and courage, Arubaba ran into the forest at a swift pace ......

"First, through the forest," he said, clutching the parchment scroll handed down from his ancestors in his hand. "The forest holds all sorts of dangers, both underfoot and overhead, I need to be attention ......"

Overhead and underfoot ...... is that mean birds and snakes?

Thinking about the meaning of the phrase, he stepped on something.

Then fell on the back of his head.

"It hurts ......"

The teachings of his ancestors were indeed right.

Arubaba came back to his senses, finding the culprit that had just made him slip and fall.

A delicate, small bag containing a dozen ...... peanuts?

...... What kind of tree could produce such a terrible fruit?

"No, how can I retreat just at the beginning!?" Arubaba's will became stronger and stronger, "There are many things in this world that we don't know, and this is not only for the villagers, but also for our own enrichment!"

He took the strange packet of fruit with him with his faith and kept walking.

After walking for a while, Arubaba's body began to weaken slightly.

"In order to deal with the fierce beasts of the forest, one needs to keep oneself in the best condition at all times." The parchment scroll said so.

That's right, preserving your strength is the first thing to do for survival in the wilderness.

He built a fire and roasted the hare he had just killed.

Less than two minutes later, a pool of cold water suddenly fallen down overhead.

"Pfft ......" Arubaba wiped his face and looked around, but found no sign of raining.

He opened the parchment scroll and it said, "Keep fires to a minimum in the forest, not only to protect the forest, but also to not offend the gods of nature."

Is this the wrath of the nature gods? It seems that this time is just a warning, and if you continue to make fire, the god will really send down punishment on you.

He ate the half-cooked rabbit meat and set out on his journey again.

"Huh ...... blood smell."

Arubaba's nostrils twitched as he ran toward the source of the blood smell.

The messy blood-stained animal fur ......

The flying out wolf head's open eyes were tinged with unwilling anger ......

The scattered wolf carcasses on the ground ......

"This is ...... "He felt creepy, he opened the parchment scroll again.

"--'The beasts deep in the forest often riot and kill each other, try to stay away from here, the smell of blood will attract other beasts-- '"

"So that's how it is ......" Arubaba wanted to go far away when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Wait, these are...... footprints?"

It can't be wrong, it's a human footprint.

"'If you find human tracks, don't hesitate to run as far as you can, people who come to a deserted forest like ours are either murderers or robbers, in any case, they must be evil people who have done something that normal people are not allowed to do.'"

Seeing this, Arubaba decided to take an even bigger detour.

"Ah, how strange, is it not a good day to go out, ancestor? Why did I meet all the unlucky things you said, huh?"

The panic in his heart made him start running faster.

"Yah yah, it missed again."

There’s someone else talking!

"Get your hands off me, okay!"

Arubaba rolled into the grass beside him.

"Hey Emilee, this time if you jump on me again, I'll shoot you in the face."

"Chit ......"

Just as Arubaba tried to poke his head out, a cold aura flashed past his cheek.

The icy chill was almost about to freeze the blood in his face.

"Ugh!!!" Arubaba covered his lips trying not to let out a scream, then turned back and ran faster with his legs.

After that, his foot slipped -

The body leaned forward involuntarily, and the hole covered by weeds appeared in front of him ......

"There’s... a...trap ......"

----- -----

"Eh, what was that noise just now." Emilee pointed to a bush on the other side.

"Hmmmmm," I was getting frustrated because I was still shooting off from there, "I know, shooting off to that side right ......"

"No no, I set a trap over there!"

"......"

The trap that was claimed to be set to trap the beast, but was actually a crude product of digging a hole in the ground and covering it haphazardly with some weeds .....

"Wake up," I grabbed her by the back of the collar, "that kind of trap only blind people can't see, right?"

"Let's make a bet, you let me kiss if you lose, I'll let you kiss if I lose."

"...... No way ...... "I followed her to the trap , "Look, it's not nothing ......"

------ ------

"Phew ...... phew ...... "Fortunately, Arubaba grabbed a vine overhead and climbed upward with the ultimate speed he had never experienced in his life, hiding in a thick branch.

They are coming ...... those two people are coming ......

Arubaba's body curled up for a while ......

"Eh ...... what are these things ......"

The black hair girl crouched down and picked up the dozen parchment scrolls.

"Well ...... this is the biography of a hidden village in this forest," the silver-haired girl held a bell, "Rumor has it that someone met them a hundred years ago and made a deal with them. "

...... A bell!

Even if I can’t take the parchment scroll back, at least that bell ......

--I must go and get it back--

Arubaba made up his mind, and regardless, poked out his head.

"Who!?"

The silver-haired girl shouted fiercely and sadistically toward this way.

"--Ziiiii--"

A sharp ice pick passed straight over his head, penetrating the giant tree behind him as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.

--I must get it back--

Another one passed through his cheek.

--I must take it--

Blood flowed across his face ......

- --I must run!!! --

------- ---------- -------

"Arubaba, you're back. " At the entrance of the village, the priest greeted him.

Arubaba returned to the village after wandering around in the forest for a few days.

"Your eyes have changed a lot ......," said the priest movingly.

"Alas ......" Arubaba sighed, "...... People always grows up."

"So, what did you bring back?"

"This," he handed over the bag of peanut, "Even though it looks like peanuts, this is a bag of divine medicine that can prolong life."

Without waiting for the Priest to make a shocked expression, he continued, "Elder, don't let anyone go out of the village anymore, the outside world has been destroyed, we'll just live here in peace and happiness."

"Eh!?"

"Hm!" He replied firmly.

"How can this be ...... how ......"

"Then, Priest I will go back. "

"How could this ...... oh?" The Priest smiled, "Back to where?"

"My home, ah."

"Your home?" The Priest stroked his beard, "You don't have a home anymore, and I'm not a priest anymore."

"Eh ......?"

"Have you forgotten what you did before, asshole?"

......---- (Priest! I found your little pornographic book!) --

...... Shit, I thought I'd be out for a long time so I said that kind of thing with confidence ......

"That ...... I'll go and explain to Mother Sophia ...... so ......"

"No need. " The priest smiled and left, "your home is now my home, little pornographic books or whatever you want to read, and you can dance and sing when you want to. As for you who have made significant contributions to the village ......"

"Just get the hell out of my way and go to the ancestral shrine to end up alone as a priest!"
