Chapter 143: Neighbors (1)

I had no idea what exactly bottled fire was useful for, but such a peculiar ability had to have some use.

And not only that, he was also capable of storing that fire inside a bottle.

A raccoon that spat fire from his mouth like some kind of ninja.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

So much so that even Sloth, who was extremely territorial, had done nothing more than give him a pat on the back.

More than anything, I liked his personality.

Not only was he docile, but he was also polite, to the point that it was impossible to hate him.

‘That’s the most important thing.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Should I let him stay here?’

And that made me like him even more.

That alone was enough to understand what a good guy that raccoon was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

And, as always, I would continue needing fire for many things in the future.

That guy knew how to handle fire.

If a raccoon capable of controlling fire helped me, maybe I could do things that had been impossible until now.

At least one thing was certain.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Besides, if he had fallen through the chimney, it was probably because he was attracted to the flames.

I would provide shelter.

Maybe we could come to an agreement.

Even though I still didn’t know what it was useful for, I could also obtain more of that bottled fire.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

So I made the offer immediately, combining words with gestures and signs.

And he would use his abilities.

However, the raccoon rejected my offer.

“Kiee.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

And in this hellish forest, a safe shelter was something extremely valuable.

But he even raised a paw to clearly express his refusal.

No matter how extraordinary his ability was, if he had come all the way here, it was obvious that he didn’t have a safe home.

It was already surprising that he had understood what I was saying.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

So I asked why he was refusing.

And began drawing on the ground.

Then he picked up a small branch lying beside the firewood.

And, apparently, artistic talent as well.

I carefully watched the drawing.

He had exceptional intelligence.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Between the sloth and this guy, is drawing a basic skill for the animals of the Forest of Four Seasons?’

It showed three raccoons.

While I was thinking that, the drawing was completed.

I would swear he drew better than I did.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah. album Is that you?”

Did raccoons live in groups?

At first glance, they looked like a family.

“Kiee!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

If they were humans, he would be the head of the household.

In other words, the father.

The raccoon pointed at the largest individual in the drawing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Then there’s nothing I can do.’

The other two appeared to be his mate and his child.

For both animals and people, the head of the family was an important figure.

I nodded to show that I understood the situation.

I would have liked to give him some food as a friendly gesture.

But unfortunately, I wasn’t exactly well supplied either.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“Kieee. antique Kieee.”

It didn’t seem appropriate.

And the only thing I had was rather dry smoked meat.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? aluminum You want fire?”

Instead of food, he asked for fire.

“If you want it, take it.”

“Kieeh.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

It couldn’t even be considered a valuable resource.

And I agreed without any problem.

After all, I could start a fire whenever I wanted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

The tip of the branch immediately ignited.

After receiving my permission, the raccoon respectfully lowered his head.

Whoosh!

Then he brought the branch he had used for drawing close to the chimney.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Normally, it would have burned up quickly.

But in his hands, it looked like a real torch.

To me, it was just a little twig.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“!Kieee!”

However, for some reason, it burned slowly like a candle.

The raccoon looked at the torch and smiled in satisfaction.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

And so, holding that torch, he set off on his journey.

It was a shame.

“Yeah. aluminum Take care. palette Stay safe. adopt And if you change your mind, come back here.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

He might not look very strong. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

But we would probably meet again someday.

But he was intelligent.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Unlike certain individuals, this one at least has manners.’

And someone like that always found a way to survive.

Some had stolen all my fasting pills and then tried to compensate me with a few bananas.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

I watched him until he completely disappeared from sight.

Though first I would have to figure out what exactly that fire inside the bottle was.

If possible, I would like to keep associating with him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Then I entered the gallery.

WildGrills

I went out for a while, and when I came back I found this raccoon inside my house.

(Video of the raccoon walking away with a torch in one hand)

(Photo of the fire inside the bottle)

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

It’s the same one that came before.

So I tried to figure out what abilities he had, and it turns out he controls fire incredibly well ;;

Apparently, he fell through the chimney.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

If anyone knows something, tell me.

Does some kind of raccoon with fire-related abilities exist?

Oh, and I wanted to recruit him as a companion, but he said he was the head of a family and turned me down.

What a shame.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ HeavenlyDemon: He is quite a peculiar creature. accent He even performs things that would be difficult through Taoist arts.

└ Swordmaster: This is the first time I’ve seen a raccoon like this. advance He looks like a dragon or something similar. absorb He spits fire from his mouth ;;

└ WildGrills: He swallowed fire and then expelled it from his mouth. apron Could a mage do something like that too?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ WildGrills: Even swallowing the fire?

└ StarlightPrincess: If someone did that, they would completely burn their mouth and tongue.

└ Swordmaster: Well… I don’t know.

└ StarlightPrincess: We’re not talking about a circus performance. abstract There is absolutely no reason to swallow fire ;;

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ Aren’t there monsters that eat fire?

└ Yes, but raccoons aren’t one of those hahaha.

└ The strange thing is swallowing the fire in the first place, man ;;

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ WildGrills: Do raccoons shoot water from their mouths?

└ AllFather: How curious. airport If it were water, I would understand, but a raccoon related to fire…

└ AllFather: Not exactly. meadow But they have the habit of washing their food with water. voyage Perhaps this one does the opposite and cooks its food with fire before eating it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ AllFather: But what exactly is that fire inside the bottle? sphere It has piqued my interest.

└ WildGrills: Oh ;;

└ WildGrills: It’s hard to believe, but the raccoon gathered the fire and put it inside the bottle. galaxy He did it exactly as if he were scooping up water with his hands.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ AllFather: Thank you.

└ AllFather: Hmm. agent I would like to investigate it personally, but I’m afraid I don’t have the time right now. apron Would you mind waiting two days?

└ WildGrills: Of course. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. acquire It’s not urgent.

└ Don’t tell me that’s an essence too.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

└ As far as I understand, it depends on the individual.

└ You never know. beacon Maybe it’s nothing special hahaha.

└ By the way, do raccoons live in groups?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

More than anything, nobody seemed to find the part about him eating fire easy to believe.

Everyone seemed fascinated by the raccoon.

Well, considering this was the Forest of Four Seasons, it was probably better to just accept it without thinking too much about it.

‘It doesn’t seem like he’ll show up very often anyway.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

During the other seasons, he probably stayed within or near his territory.

He was a raccoon I hadn’t seen all this time and had only appeared when winter arrived.

But when winter came, food in the surrounding area must have become scarce, forcing him to venture farther away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t help but worry a little.

Could such a small creature really continue surviving in this forest?

‘He has a special ability. alpha I’m sure he’ll manage somehow.’

He might even be better adapted to the Forest of Four Seasons than I was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

They seemed like they might be useful for something later.

I still had about two left.

In any case, the raccoon had already left, so I counted the remaining Ice Flowers.

And besides, if I kept searching the surrounding area, I would probably find more.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

But at the same time, leaving them there unused also felt like a waste.

If I tried mixing and consuming them without StarlightPrincess’s help, something serious could happen.

‘Should I postpone the cold resistance thing?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

After all the experiments with the Mandrakes, I still had about three and a half bottles remaining.

I checked how much Elixir I had left.

That was just the bare minimum.

‘I could mix them with a Mandrake and give them to SunForEver…’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

The fire the raccoon had stored inside the bottle.

After all, Wonmo, the sloth, and I could all end up injured at the same time.

‘Actually, it would fit perfectly with that.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

But it was still nothing more than a guess.

What if I mixed it with an Ice Flower?

I needed an expert’s opinion.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

The problem was that even AllFather was busy right now.

I still had time.

‘I’ll have another opportunity later.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

And that wasn’t even counting the fact that, once winter ended, the amount of work would increase exponentially.

Besides, right now I needed to focus on training my control over the cold.

There was no need to rush.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

I began preparing everything for when warm weather returned.

And I hadn’t forgotten about the emergency exit either.

‘The bricks, cement, and sand will go here…’

As soon as winter ended, I planned to rebuild the furnace and the blast furnace.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘How should I build it so another avalanche won’t carry it away?’

Avalanches would probably occur once every month.

And they weren’t even the only problem.

There was an enormous amount of work ahead.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

I had no idea what other natural disasters might happen. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

‘I need to build something truly durable. attic What if I put up a small building?’

Now I had bricks and cement.

I would need to survive at least fifteen more days before I could begin understanding the absurd rules of this forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, if some completely illogical monster like the gorilla chief showed up, that would be a different story.

It would take time.

I could build a structure dedicated exclusively to the furnace and blast furnace.

But it would be far more durable.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I need to make good use of the space, build a drainage system… What a headache.’

But there wasn’t much I could do about that.

Maybe things would be different if I had gone to college.

As long as it could withstand natural disasters, that would be enough.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

But unfortunately, I only had a high school education.

At least I found some comfort in having learned a few things during military service.

Back then, I barely had enough money to survive from day to day.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I suppose a rectangular structure would be the most practical.’

I bought a large sheet of paper and drew the cave and its surroundings.

But for that, I would need to cut down many more trees.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

When darkness fell, it began to snow.

And so, while spending the entire day designing and planning, night eventually arrived.

As for the path the gorilla chief had opened, I planned to improve it later.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

However, it wasn’t a snowstorm.

‘This must also mean the weather will improve soon.’

Just a normal snowfall.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

With luck, I might even be able to go hunting.

According to the journal left behind by my great senior, winter would end in two or three days.

Until then, I had to make the most of every moment.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that, except when eating, he always remained in front of the fireplace.

‘It has its advantages, but I still hate winter.’

I added more firewood to the fire and sat beside the sloth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

But it affected me as well.

The fact that the other animals reduced their activity was an advantage.

The most annoying thing was that the sun set very early and rose very late.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

While watching the flames in the fireplace, I suddenly remembered something and stood up.

‘This isn’t the time to sit around. alien More snow could pile up during the night.’

So I went around spreading salt nearby.

Besides, the emergency exit was still only a project.

After that, I finished all the preparations for the day.

I didn’t have calcium chloride, so I had no choice but to use ordinary salt.

It was better to take precautions now.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

In other words, it was about to be forgotten.

The nights were long, and there wasn’t much else to do.

Thanks to the recent sporting events, almost all discussion related to Eldorado had disappeared.

‘At least the gallery’s topics of conversation have changed.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

I only had to wait for winter to end.

‘That’s their problem.’

Maybe that didn’t matter much to me.

But for the people outside, it was probably not good news.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

So I posted a farewell message in the gallery and let the time pass peacefully.

“……”

“Hey. crystal Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

The sloth would continue staring at the fire in his own way.

Hoping that a snowstorm wouldn’t appear during the night, I closed my eyes. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Well. admire Forget it.”

I had no idea what awaited me in the future.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

It certainly wouldn’t be easy.

But one thing was certain.

It would be difficult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“Kiee!”

‘Maybe I should’ve forced the raccoon to stay.’

“Huh…”

With that thought in mind, the next morning arrived.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

And he hadn’t come alone.

A raccoon that appeared to be his mate.

The moment I woke up, I found the raccoon waiting for me outside the cave.

He had brought his entire family.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘We just moved in here.’

And behind her, a small cub hiding shyly.

“Kieee”

The entire family clearly gave off the impression of.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

“……And what’s this?”

But the color was extraordinary.

The raccoon father held something out to me.

At first glance, it looked like a balloon flower root or perhaps wild ginseng.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I’m a spiritual herb.’

It was completely white, as white as snow.

It seemed to be loudly proclaiming to the world.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Then the raccoon bowed deeply at the waist.

Still stunned, I accepted the medicinal herb.

“Kiee! crystal Kiee!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

Especially the little cub, who greeted me shyly in an incredibly adorable way.

His mate and cub did the same.

’…Did they come to hand out housewarming gifts?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 143: Neighbors (1) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that, all of a sudden, I had gained some new neighbors.
