I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life chapter 66

I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life 66

Practice (2)

The first day when Irvin was away.

“Uncle, when will you come?”

Sitting on a chair made roughly from nearby trees, Claire said grimly with her chin resting on her chin.

Next to him, Rowen, who was practicing throwing stones at a target he had made, stopped and glared at Claire.

“Don’t play, do something. Those are the things you deliberately took the time to teach me.”

“I’m not motivated without Mr.

Rowen furrowed his brow and put on a troublesome expression, then turned his head to look at the target again.

Normally, she was a grown-up Claire, but when Irvin gets involved, she quickly shows herself like a child of her age.

No, the other kids looked similar today too.

Excluding Delan and Nora, who usually didn’t show their enthusiasm, even Frederick, who worked hard when it came to training, seemed to have a different mind.

Perhaps it was because it was the first trip with Irvin, and everyone was confused.

Rowen wasn’t without that kind of heart either, but he still had to act like the eldest.

“Everyone stop what you’re doing and gather around for a while.”

At Rowen’s words, each of the children stopped training and stood side by side in front of Rowen.

After looking over the four siblings, Rowen crossed his arms and said firmly.

“Don’t you want to train?”

“… … .”

There was no answer, but it was worth knowing without having to listen.

As they met each other’s eyes, they still made a prickly expression, but Rowen soon raised the corner of his mouth.

“Then, shall we do something else for a second?”

“really?”

Delan asked with his eyes wide open, and Rowen gave a big nod.

“You don’t know when your uncle will come, do you? Until then, we hunt, cook with it, and treat the uncle when he comes.”

“Wow, that’s good!”

Claire applauded and actively agreed, and the other children also nodded in agreement.

With that decided, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

Rowen and the children packed some tools and headed into the woods.

First of all, I looked around the traps I set up with Irvin yesterday… … .

“Nothing caught.”

“Aren’t you supposed to put a bait?”

“You said yesterday that you don’t have to be around. And don’t you have anything to use as bait?”

“How about installing a few more?”

“more… … Should I camouflage… … ?”

After discussing with each other, the children decided to leave the trap alone. It was because he was afraid that he would ruin what Irvin had done.

Eventually, the children decided to hunt on their own and went a little further into the forest.

“You guys, too, be sure to mark it. I don’t want to get lost in any case.”

“I will break the branch.”

“Then I am the bark.”

From noble mtl dot com

At Rowen’s words, the children followed Irvin’s teaching one by one and made milestones.

With this, you won’t have to worry about getting lost on your way to the camp.

However, it was difficult to find animals easily because they were children who had no hunting experience.

They were children who had been roaming through the woods with enthusiasm, but in the end, they returned to the camp several times in vain and went to the other side, but did not find a rabbit.

“Should I rather find a lizard?”

“Ugh, I hate it.”

“Wait a minute.”

After returning to the camp again and watching the children talking with tired faces, Rowen closed his eyes and slowly organized his thoughts.

The other children also kept their mouths shut so as not to disturb their thoughts, and then Rowen opened her eyes and said:

“First of all, you guys talk too much.”

“… … .”

Excited as if they were on a picnic, the children chatted lively while looking for the animals.

Because of that, it was not difficult to guess that the animals might have been hiding with bated breath or running away.

“I’ll have to be careful with the sound of my footsteps from now on. You have to use what you learned from Master.”

I’m sure I’ve been walking around with all the noise so far. I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult since I’d learned how to keep my footsteps down even in the woods.

In addition, communicating with simple hand signals was also tedious, so there was no problem with communication.

Now that I’ve reflected on my attitude, I had to fix my unplanned move.

“If my eyesight is open, I might find it, but since it’s a forest, let’s find the footprints and track them. If you want to get closer, Nora will move to the shadows and figure out the exact location. With the other three hunting. Does anyone have a different opinion?”

The other children weren’t sharp enough, so I decided to follow Rowen’s instructions.

Claire insisted on using her poison ability for hunting, but of course it was rejected because she couldn’t eat what she caught.

The five children, who started hunting properly in earnest, were able to hunt a wild boar very easily.

And only then did the children realize for sure.

The power and technology they possess are beyond imagination, and that they can easily kill living things at any time.

The vengeance against the Dark Truth Church, which was gradually fading… … to burn again.

Even when Irvin spoke, it felt so far away, but it seemed like that day was coming soon.

The throbbing heart quickly subsided while grooming the wild boar together.

They were ready to brag at any time, but… … Irvin did not return that day, and anxiety began to sprout in the children’s hearts.

* * *

Irvin disappeared and the morning of the second day dawned.

The children were taken aback by the sudden situation, but according to Irvin’s teachings, they dutifully set a vigil and spent the night.

So after each morning preparations, we gathered in one place and started the meeting.

“Let’s wait here.”

“why! I have to go find it right now!”

It was Claire, of course, who refuted Rowen’s opinion.

However, Rowen did not blink an eye and answered while chewing on the wild boar meat he had caught and grilled yesterday.

“Do you want to know where he went and go find him?”

“You can do it the same way you did when you caught the wild boar yesterday. Wouldn’t it be enough for Rowen oppa to find traces of the old man and chase after them?”

“Even if I could, I wouldn’t. What if you got caught up in something really dangerous? Even if we go, it will only be a lump of luggage.”

“that… … !”

“And what if the old man comes back while we are away on our own? It’s best to wait here in case there’s such a difference.”

At the logical words, Claire pouted at the loss of words.

The other children also decided to follow Rowen’s opinion, but they couldn’t help but feel anxious.

All five children came, imagining a fun trip with Irvin, but who could have known this would happen.

I knew that Irvin was strong, and I was even more relieved because I believed that he was not the kind of person who would disappear without a word.

“Then, let’s split roles.”

Still, he couldn’t be depressed, so Rowen lightly touched his hand to draw attention.

“The three of us go into the woods, check the traps like yesterday, and set up traps to alert intruders just in case. For the two of us, let’s make a preserved meal here with the wild boar meat left over from yesterday, leaving only the amount for today.”

The children nodded, and Rowen raised one hand and looked around at them.

“Who’s going to the forest?”

“Me, me! I want to find traces of you too!”

“I want to go too.”

As expected, when Claire and Frederick actively supported Rowen, he nodded and turned his attention to the remaining Delan and Nora.

“You remember how Master taught you how to make preserved food, right?”

“Yeah, I know.”

“You can make it that way. And just because I’m here doesn’t mean I’m not playing an important role. Because we are responsible for our food in the future.”

“Leave it to me, Rowen.”

Delan and Nora answered with puzzled expressions, but Rowen looked at him with a look that seemed uneasy, and eventually added another word.

“If something happens, run away unconditionally and ask for help.”

Seeing the two silently nodding, he stood up from his seat with a slightly relieved expression.

So, with Claire and Frederick leading, Rowen went into the woods and checked the trap he had set up first.

“Oh, it’s a rabbit.”

“It looks cute like this.”

Seeing the rabbit struggling in the trap, Frederick had already licked his lips, and Claire was a little sympathetic, but she was already holding the dagger in her left hand.

Unlike the two of them, Rowen was still immersed in his thoughts, but then stretched out his hand to dissuade them.

“Let’s leave it like this first.”

“why? Are you trying to use it as bait?”

“No, it’s not necessarily like that, but just in case, let’s take it with us when we go home later.”

Claire and Frederick were puzzled, but still nodded quietly, wondering what Rowen was thinking.

I checked other traps, but unfortunately no animals were caught more than that, and the three children set up simple traps around them that served as alarms.

A rope was woven around the ankle, and as it passed, a stone tied to a tree would fall and make a sound.

Animals could get caught, but since they were the only ones, it was the judgment that there would be nothing wrong with being careful.

“hmm?”

The moment they installed it together, Rowen suddenly frowned.

Claire and Frederick also looked around after seeing Rowen, but couldn’t find anything wrong.

“… … There was something.”

After muttering that, Rowen raised his eyes a little more and calmly scanned the area where the shadow of something he had seen had been.

Did you fall 500m from here?

I couldn’t see it clearly because of the other trees, but a small branch broke and I could confirm that someone had just passed by.

“Brother, are you an animal? wild boar?”

“I’m glad it’s an animal… … .”

“Aren’t you a person? Ah, people are more dangerous.”

There was no way to know what it was with just one trace like that, and it was too dangerous to go check it out.

“Let’s go back.”

Having come to a conclusion, Rowen immediately withdrew from the spot and returned to the camp with the rabbit he had caught earlier.

Seeing the live rabbit, Delon and Nora looked slightly surprised.

But soon Rowen heard that there was something in the woods, and he couldn’t help but be nervous.

With Irvin still not coming back, it was already dinner time.

“Did Nora do this?”

“Yeah, with brother Dellon… … I saved it in my spare time.”

“I learned edible plants and mushrooms from my grandfather. It’s a little bit like eating only meat, so I’ve been looking for it.”

Thanks to the extra effort of the remaining team, dinner was the same meat as yesterday, but it felt new.

Even after a satisfying meal, the children’s expressions did not improve, perhaps because Irvin was not there yet.

Still, it was impossible to skip the daily routine, so everyone made sure to take time for training.

Under Rowen’s instructions, each one was on guard, but fortunately, no abnormalities were found.

Afterwards, the children each took a break, but they couldn’t find the energy like the first day. Nora was the only one smiling a little while grazing the rabbit tied to one side.

“Ooh, mister… … .”

The most melancholy of them all was Claire.

He couldn’t stand the loneliness so much that he drew Irvin’s face on a wooden barrel and hugged him.

Looking at the children, who were not quite as depressed as Claire, but Loewen briefly recalled her resentment towards Irvin, then shook her head.

It was because the more I realized that I shouldn’t be shaken.

“Let’s get organized and go to sleep. As for the night watch, let’s stand by pushing two from yesterday’s order.”

The children who answered each one quickly tidied up and went to bed quietly, even turning off the bonfire.

The encampment surrounded by forest fell into silence where only the slightest breathing could be heard.

And it was around the time that the third watchman, Delan, was looking at the half-off hourglass.

right!

short sound.

Delan went straight to Rowen, who was sleeping, and Rowen, who had woken up before he knew it, asked with a hand gesture while pressing his fingers under his eyes.

‘Where is the location?’

Looking at the direction Delan was pointing at, Rowen stood up and focused.

The simple ability that Rowen possesses is that his eyes are very good.

It wasn’t just during the daytime, but I was able to see through even the darkest darkness.

Rowen quickly scanned the forest with a view that was not too far from broad daylight.

The moment they passed through the trees and bushes and saw the location of the trap they had set up.

“Delan, wake up everyone.”

Rowen, who said so with voices rather than hand signals, added his words as he looked at the creatures that came into his field of vision.

“It’s a goblin.”
