“Myogooo... Myogomyogomyogo!... Shugoooooo!”

Hello! I’m Emi, a girl searching for food in the Naso Forest at the height of summer!

“Myogooo... Myogomyogomyogo!... Shugoooooo!”

And that annoying sound you’ve been hearing is the courtship song of the Myogomyogoshugo! Though it has a name that exactly mimics its call, you can think of it like the cicada of my previous life, taking a similar position among insects!

...Hmph!!

“Myogooo... Myogomyogo... Myogo!!??”

The stone I threw without looking hit the trunk of the tree where the Myogomyogoshugo was perched, startling it into fainting and falling to the ground. These guys are so loud yet so cowardly. Too weak for a wild creature, don’t you think? What’s up with their ecology?

For now, I approach the Myogomyogoshugo before it wakes up, pluck its wings so it can’t escape, and put it in a basket woven from vines. I don’t kill them immediately to avoid spoiling their freshness. I’ll catch a few more of these and skewer and roast them. They’re quite large and have a lot of meat, making them a representative taste of summer in the forest. for new novels

By the way, according to Extra-sama, Myogomyogoshugo are common creatures in this world and definitely just insects, but because their calls are loud and unpleasant, they’re classified as harmful beings, or in other words, monsters. Isn’t the criteria for being considered a monster in this world too lax?

Now, back to the story.

It’s been a month since it was revealed that the village chief’s son, Torch-kun, is a reincarnated person with the 【Divine Blessing】 and a hero. In other words, it’s been a month since I was banished from the trash village and became a vagrant.

As I was catching insects while pondering various things, my basket had become packed with Myogomyogoshugo before I knew it.

“Myogo...!!?”

The Myogomyogoshugo that woke up in the basket started to scream, but I slammed the basket against the ground to knock it out and stop it.

Yeah, Extra-sama. With this much, we’ll definitely have our fill! It’s going to get dark soon, so why don’t we start a fire early and eat them while they’re still fresh?

Ah, yeah, I see them. The ones on that low tree, right? What are those?

Really? Great, let’s collect them! Let’s try them with the Myogomyogoshugo!

We were elated by the unexpected harvest. Completely overjoyed. But, that fluffy, happy mood was soon to cool down.

Our base... the Great Tree of Kaliva had been occupied.
