Primitive Man

Chapter 18: Run away

"Garnt, leave me and try to escape, I promised your mother that I won't let anything happen to you," Ayra shouted as she tried to take her heavy log back, so she could push her body to the limit and help her nephew.

It was rather sad to see starving Ayra trying her best to fight against the wolves to protect her nephew, but she had no other choice.

Garnt was struggling with the wolves but he had no intention to escape leaving Ayra. Instead, he kept struggling while shouting.

"I won't do that, I can't leave you behind no matter what happens here, I know I promised my mother that I would come back without any wounds, but looks like it's not possible," He deflected a charging wolf, as soon as he said those words.

*Sigh

"You're nothing like my sister when it comes to your skills, but you have the same stubbornness she has," Ayra said with a smile and decided to stand up and help her nephew, but suddenly Garnt did something unexpected.

Out of nowhere, he hurled a pair of tree branch-like sticks into the air. The wolves' focus shifted instantly to these objects, prompting them to immediately pursue the source. Instinctively, the wolves recognized the alluring scent emanating from the sticks as a potential source of nourishment.

"Let's go, it's now or never," Grasping Ayra's hand firmly, Garnt surged forward, his gaze fixed ahead, not daring to glance behind. He prayed the pursuing pack of wolves would be distracted enough, with the energy bars that Garnt threw away.

Running back after luring away reminded Garnt about his first hunting experience, and he couldn't help but be frustrated.

'How am I this useless? This is the second time'

While he was running he questioned Eva about why she didn't tell him about energy bars before.

So she suddenly took a bite out of the energy bar, only to experience a food orgasm.

She couldn't believe what she was tasting, and she couldn't blame those idiotic wolves for chasing these energy bars, instead of attacking them.

"What is this? This tastes so good, I never had anything like this before," Ayra shouted, but she quickly covered her mouth realizing her own mistake.

"Haha~ it is a little skill of mine. I can create those things with the blessing of Mother Nature," Garnt said the same thing to Ayra hoping she wouldn't question it anymore and just like he expected, she took it.

"Amazing! Just like I expected you're a special child." She complimented Garnt and took the last bite of the energy bar, then looked at Garnt with a confused expression. "Aren't you going to eat this? Where's your potion?"

"..."

"That was the last potion, I can only make five of them a day, eariler I used four of them," Ayra suddenly felt guilty about eating the full thing, but Garnt just waved at her showing it was alright.

"I'm not hungry, don't worry about instead we should quickly go back. Mother might get scared if we get late,"

With that, they made their way back to the cave, Gundo waiting for them near the entrance just like earlier. As soon as she saw them, a warm smile spread across her face, relieved by their safe return.

"Garnt! Ayra!" She shouted and hugged both of them at the same time showing her love for her sister, as well as her son.

"Sister, just like we promised, we are back," With her last words, Gundo pulled all of them into the cave since she prepared some food for them and plant-based medicine showing how much she awaited their return.
