She diligently searched for the traces of wild animals and the marks on the trees, just as she had learned all along.
Suddenly, thinking that the bandits she met that day would have pursued their footsteps in the same way, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Checking the animal’s movements and signs was the most important task for a hunter.
She now seemed to understand why she had always been caught not far away when she had fled from the imperial palace.
She had been clumsy in erasing her traces, and there was no way the Emperor’s personal knights would miss such a sloppy opponent.
Asha hung her head in sorrow, trying hard to erase the thought.
After searching the forest for a while, she finally discovered a mark that appeared to be the footprint of a deer.
Judging by the shallow depth of the footprints, it seemed to be a fawn that had not been born long ago.
The footprints continued without interruption.
As it was wandering around nearby, she could catch it easily if she just stayed on guard.
Asha steadied her heart and quietly waited, hiding herself in a tree.
The moment she heard a small footstep sound nearby, Asha sprang from the tree, immediately drawing her sharp bow.
But she soon found her eyes widening.
In front of her was a baby deer, frozen in place, looking at her with its round, gleaming eyes.
It was a golden opportunity, with the arrowhead aimed precisely at its neck without even having to take careful aim.
Yet, Asha could not shoot the arrow.
She recognized herself fleeing in the past in the appearance of the baby deer limping on one foot.
The deer, seemingly unguarded, trotted towards Asha, poking its cute face near the arrowhead.
It seemed to think not at all that she was a dangerous person.
“It’s dangerous. Don’t come near.”
Asha quickly hid her bow. The deer blinked its big, black eyes, then looked around.
Watching it, Asha realized something and asked,
“Have you lost your mother?”
Judging by its continued wandering around here, it seemed to have lost its mother in this place.
But then, the voices of her comrades came from nearby.
Asha whispered urgently,
“Go quickly. You mustn’t come here again, understand?”
The deer seemed to understand her words and quickly hopped away over the hill.
And, as if to bid farewell, it stared intently at Asha before hiding behind the snowcovered white hill.
After that, Asha’s mind was troubled, and she could not focus on hunting.
Time had already been much wasted, and though she hurriedly searched the surroundings as her little brother Naji had instructed, she could not find a single rabbit hole.
In the end, Asha returned emptyhanded.
The organization members who had arrived earlier laid out the animals they had proudly hunted that day in front of her.
Asha glanced sideways to see if the fawn or its mother that she met today was among them.
Fortunately, she didn’t see any deer among today’s hunting prey. Asha sighed with relief inside.
Wild horse Jackal, checking the game one by one, finally stopped at Asha, who was standing at the end, without a word.
He looked at her in silence, and she looked down at the ground in silence.
Her front was empty.
Geb snorted, turned his head with a hmph, thinking he knew it would be like this.
Asha was the only hunter who hadn’t caught a single animal in today’s hunt.
Jackal didn’t think that she had failed to find an animal or accidentally missed it due to bad luck.
With her archery skills, she would have easily caught something like a rabbit or squirrel.
He knew, without seeing, that she had found game and let it go.
As the two continued to stand in silence, Naji, who was next to them, noticed and carefully whispered into Asha’s ear.
“Sister, should I give you a pheasant I caught?”
At his words, Jackal’s expression changed instantly, and Naji quickly pretended to be interested in something else.
Soon, he opened his mouth heavily.
“Asha Camellia.”
“……Yes, Captain.”
“Since you failed the hunt, go hungry tonight.”
At his ruthless words, all the organization members were surprised and looked his way.
Asha cast her eyes down, looking miserable.
“Yes……”
Jackal spoke firmly.
“If a hunter can’t hunt, it’s right to starve. If you hadn’t joined our organization, you would have had to do it all yourself and bear the consequences. Take responsibility for your choice.”
“Yes……”
“Then let’s go back.”
Jackal walked past Asha without looking at her anymore.
The organization members followed him without protest, unable to disagree with the leader’s decision.
During the ride back to the village, Jackal did not say a word. The procession had the atmosphere of a funeral.
The organization members occasionally looked back with concerned faces at Asha, who was riding weakly at the back.
Usually, they would throw a party to celebrate someone becoming a true hunter by catching game on their first hunt.
But in the case where not even one prey was caught, everyone was treated the same as Asha, without exception.
