Chapter 145: Neighbors (3)
By assigning part of the work to Papa Raccoon, I had fewer things to do and saved an enormous amount of time.
‘By the way, how should I build it?’
That was why I intended to treat the raccoon with some flexibility so he wouldn’t end up holding a grudge against me.
And to me, time was worth more than gold. august No, more than diamonds.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
But I wondered what kind of shelter a raccoon would like.
Since he already had a perfectly suitable den, I had no intention of making him move again.
What I planned to build was simply a shelter.
Since we were going to be neighbors who visited each other frequently, I thought about building him a small shelter in the yard.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
As long as he could fully enjoy the warmth of the bonfire, that would be sufficient.
‘A house would be too much. audit A shelter is enough.’
A place where he could rest comfortably beside the bonfire during the cold winter.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
The urgent matters were the furnace and the smelter, not a shelter for the raccoon family.
Besides, since they already had a den, I could build it later when I had the time.
However, I couldn’t do it right now.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I checked the wind direction.
Using the cave entrance as a reference, the wind was blowing from behind.
‘At the very least, I should put down a mat for them.’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
‘More important than that is making sure Wonmo doesn’t see them as food.’
Before going into hibernation, Wonmo had been fat.
At least the wind remained constant, which made construction planning easier.
Now he was skin and bones.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
On the other hand, it seemed that Sloth had some resistance to the cold, because he looked exactly the same.
In less than ten days, he had gained and lost weight dramatically.
‘I’ve already been living here for three weeks.’
Today was exactly my twenty-first day.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
An entire month.
Three full weeks.
And another week from now would make four.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Now it was the exact opposite.
Probably because it was winter, the sun set early and I had spent most of my time inside the shelter.
‘That’s not a good thing either.’
At first, it felt like time wasn’t moving.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
But that didn’t mean I had obtained useful information for escaping.
Adapting and escaping were two different things.
Gaining experience was positive.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
When winter arrives, you shouldn’t even think about escaping.
I had learned something very valuable. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Still, not everything had been useless.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kiee.”
Crack. canvas Crack.
If an avalanche swept me away, my life would be in danger.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kie.”
Papa Raccoon had gone out to work, so it was normal that he wasn’t there.
Just as I was finishing the shelter blueprints, Mama Raccoon and Baby Raccoon appeared in front of the bonfire.
But why had they come?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
‘And what’s that thing he’s carrying on a stick?’
As one question led to another, Baby Raccoon carefully raised the stick with both hands.
Something was skewered on it.
What caught my attention most was the stick Baby Raccoon was holding.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
The little one offered me the stick he had been holding so carefully.
“Kiee.”
Then he glanced at me and cautiously approached.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Because I could clearly see what was skewered on it.

But that wasn’t it.
At first, I thought maybe he could also control fire like Papa Raccoon.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Baby Raccoon himself was about the size of a small dog.
Most creatures in the Forest of Four Seasons were enormous even when young.
A huge worm roasted until it was golden brown.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kiee.”
“…Is this for me?”
And the skewered worm wasn’t exactly small either.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
When I pointed at myself and asked, Baby Raccoon nodded.
She had both hands clenched tightly together.
Confused, I looked at Mama Raccoon.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
And her gaze seemed to say.
‘Bugs are a bit…’
What kind of raccoon makes that expression?
‘Please accept my child’s gift.’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
But I couldn’t reject an act of goodwill.
“Thank you. agent I’ll enjoy it.”
If I closed my eyes and did it all at once, I could probably endure it.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
He hid behind Mama Raccoon.
The moment I thanked him, Baby Raccoon ran away.
“……”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I couldn’t disappoint a child.
However, he kept peeking his head out from behind her, so it looked like he was waiting for my reaction.
He seemed quite shy.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
At least it was cooked.
Besides, it was a gift from a neighbor.
I looked at the roasted worm, which was cooked better than I had expected, and stuffed it into my mouth in a single bite.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
…Or so I thought.
Splat!
“……”
It should taste like protein.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
And it came from my own mouth.
At the same time, something wet and slimy began to ooze from my lips.
But an extremely ominous sound echoed out.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Had it been a mistake to judge a beast by human standards?
‘Yeah… In an emergency situation, you’d have to eat it raw anyway.’
Suppressing the nausea and disgust rising from my stomach, I continued chewing.
Or had the cub simply undercooked it because he was too young?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
So I kept eating.
Swallowing it was the worst part.
I couldn’t disappoint Baby Raccoon.
Even describing it as the worst texture and taste of my life would be an understatement.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
When I gave a thumbs-up, Baby Raccoon started jumping around with joy.
“Kiee.” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“Kiee! athlete Kiii!”
“It’s d-delicious!”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
It was obvious that her son hadn’t cooked the worm properly.
Title) Baby Raccoon gave me a gift
Mama Raccoon patted his head while discreetly watching my reaction.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
That wasn’t the only gift from my neighbors.

Baby Raccoon personally roasted it over the fire and gave it to me lol.

It was a little undercooked, but I ate it anyway.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ It looks pretty plump. audit Looks delicious.
└ WildGrills: Probably. advance Everything here is enormous.
└ And was it tasty?
└ Swordmaster: Ugh. acoustic Why is that worm so huge? shadow Is that because of the Forest of Four Seasons too?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ LetsPlantTrees: Huh?! album We don’t eat insects! alpha Elves are also a race that enjoys meat!
└ Don’t elves eat them? antenna They always have that image of being nature lovers. meadow Surely they eat bugs too.
└ Ugh… Are there really people who enjoy eating insects?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ Elves eat meat? ability That’s hard to imagine.
└ Even now they get criticized a lot for all the tree-planting stuff. aspect But they still don’t eat insects lol.
└ I think that’s just a stereotype. attic Elves gained that image because they’re good at politics and selling the idea of being friendly with nature.
└ Yeah. palette Since they’ve always been opposed to demons, they made good use of that image. antenna Plus they have the World Tree.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ A lot of dark elves end up diabetic because of that lol.
└ Then what do dark elves eat? zenith They live in the desert. echo There can’t be much meat there.
└ SunForEver: They have incredibly sweet dates. atlas Why would they need meat? amateur Hahaha.
└ It’s true, they’re unbelievably sweet. armor They’re one of the main export products.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ Aaaaargh!!!
└ WildGrills: The moment I bit into it, all the innards exploded and poured out of its body and into my mouth.
└ AAAAAAAAH!!!
└ So, Grills. anchor Was it good? timber It looked pretty appetizing.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ Baby Raccoon definitely wanted to mess with you lol.
└ WildGrills: Baby Raccoon was watching me with such hopeful eyes that I couldn’t stop eating. artist I forced myself to swallow it…
└ So did you finish it?
└ Ugh… Just imagining it makes me want to throw up.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ He was a Demon Raccoon lol.
└ StarlightPrincess: That’s strange. orbit As far as I know, raccoons normally wash their food in water before eating it. silence Then why did he roast it?
└ Devil Lord lol.
└ Pure evil lol.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ There are still people who don’t understand how the Forest of Four Seasons works. abstract Everything has a reason.
└ Because all the raccoons that washed their food in water are already dead. athlete Didn’t you see the river in front of Grills’ house? apple A frog that spits deadly poison came out of there! shadow Hahaha.
└ …That actually makes sense!
└ StarlightPrincess: And what reason would that be? orbit If you’re going to say something stupid, you should just leave.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
└ A forest capable of forcing you to go against even your instincts…
I had heard before that raccoons wash their food before eating it.
└ StarlightPrincess: Surprisingly, that wasn’t a stupid comment for once.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Maybe the raccoons of the Forest of Four Seasons had learned something similar.
That water there was far more dangerous than fire. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
I had always found that video of a raccoon trying to wash cotton candy hilarious, then becoming devastated when it disappeared.
Though if I remembered correctly, after losing two or three pieces of cotton candy, it eventually learned and stopped washing them.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
And it wasn’t completely impossible either.
‘Is that why they also developed the ability to control flames?’
After that, I stuffed a piece of smoked meat into my mouth to get rid of the unpleasant taste that still lingered.
As someone had said, it had a strangely convincing logic.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Thinking about snacks reminded me of the bananas the gorillas had given me.
Just something to cleanse my palate.
‘Bananas really are the best snack.’
It wasn’t really a meal.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
But the bananas themselves had been delicious.
It was true that it had been an outrageously unfair trade.
The same bananas they had thrown at me while telling me to be satisfied with those instead of Fasting Pills.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
The problem was that those bananas were a specialty found only in the jungle.

And I had no intention of going anywhere near gorilla territory. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

‘Aren’t there any fruits in this forest?’
There were mushrooms everywhere, but hardly any fruit.
No matter how much I wanted to eat them, I had no choice but to endure it.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
The overall design of the shelter was practically finished.
While thinking about such nonsense, I closed my eyes and began practicing my cultivation method.
And the few fruits that did exist didn’t look particularly appetizing.
All that remained was to wait for the next season to arrive.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
And since there wasn’t much else to do until then, training was the only answer.
The separation between the cold energy and mana was also progressing smoothly.
‘The cold is still condensing little by little…’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
That didn’t mean I was neglecting sword training.
I knew all too well the importance of balance.
As always, the beginning was the hardest part.
Once you managed to gain momentum, everything became much easier.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
By the time I had completed a reasonable amount of training, it was already lunchtime.
And just as I was thinking about going to eat something…
“Fuuu…”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
More than a scream, it sounded like a desperate cry.
I heard a raccoon’s scream from outside.
— Kieeeeee! riddle Kieee!
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
There was no one in the yard.
The moment I heard it, a sense of unease ran through my body, and I rushed outside.
Judging by the voice, it seemed to be Papa Raccoon.
But the source of the cries was the raccoons’ home.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Shhhhk—”
Just as I had expected, my neighbors were in danger.
“Kie! accent Kie!”
So I armed myself immediately and ran over there.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Papa Raccoon was desperately holding the entrance to their home, gripping a torch in one hand.
“Hey, you bastard!”
Mama Raccoon and Baby Raccoon were probably inside.
A massive snake was climbing the tree.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I ran straight toward the snake.
Thump!
But perhaps it noticed my presence.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Incredible elasticity.
A movement worthy of a creature from the Forest of Four Seasons.
Surprisingly, it slightly coiled its body and launched itself backward like a spring.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Shaaaaaa!”
Inside its enormous mouth, I could see fangs dripping with venom.
After landing on another tree, the snake launched itself again and charged at me.
In the past, I would have been nervous.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Thanks to HeavenlyDemon’s sword and the aura surrounding it, the snake’s body was cleanly cut in half.
But I was already quite accustomed to this forest.
Slash!
I twisted my body slightly to avoid the attack and brought my sword down in a downward slash.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I had fought a Steel-Scale Snake before, so I didn’t even bother suppressing the cold.
From the wound, its entire body began to freeze.
And not only that.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
At first, the snake writhed violently.
Flop! anchor Flop! arena Craaack!
But shortly afterward, it became completely frozen.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I cleanly severed its head.

Even so, I didn’t stop.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Winter was truly coming to an end.
Now it should truly be dead.
‘If a snake that should still be hibernating has already woken up…’
That confirmed something.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Papa Raccoon, still holding his torch, seemed to have finally caught his breath.
I kicked the snake’s frozen head far away and turned around.
“Are you okay?”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Soon afterward, the rest of the family poked their heads out of the hole to thank me as well.
“Kie.”
Papa Raccoon deeply bowed his head, as if sincerely thanking me.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
And snakes were no exception.
Besides, Papa Raccoon could spit flames from his mouth.
‘Good thing he had that torch. arctic Otherwise, they would’ve been eaten.’
Most beasts fear fire.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
The two had likely been staring each other down for quite some time without making a move.
But before I could continue thinking about it, the raccoon family climbed down. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
I thought I should spread some snake repellent near the tree soon.
That probably made the snake uncomfortable as well.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Are we going to eat it?”
Then they began poking at the snake’s frozen body.
“Kie.”
Did they want to eat it?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kie.”
It was quite large.
I looked at the snake.
“Mmm…”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
I hadn’t eaten snake very many times, but there was no reason to waste prey we had just obtained.
There was enough meat to share.
And even if there were leftovers, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“Kie.”
After receiving my approval, Papa Raccoon returned to his home as if asking me to wait a moment.
“Alright. matrix Let’s eat it.”
I had a refrigerator now.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
At first glance, it looked like a fairly ordinary brown mushroom.
Soon afterward, he came back holding something in his hands.
It was a mushroom.
“Kiie!”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Maybe he even knew its properties.
I preferred to avoid mushrooms whenever possible.
That thought crossed my mind.
But if he had brought it, there had to be a reason.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
“What effect does this have? portal Mushrooms make me a little uneasy…”
Had he understood my words?
“Kie.”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Thrust— Thrust—
He began vigorously thrusting his hips back and forth.
Instead of answering, he decided to demonstrate with actions.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Men and beasts seemed to be the same in that regard.
There was no need for him to explain what it meant.
He even swung his arms enthusiastically.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 145: Neighbors (3) by Indra Translations.
Was he showing off the fact that he actually had a partner?
’…But even if I eat it, I don’t have anywhere to use something like that either.’
