Chapter 15 - Darkness and Light

43)
1: F...from behind!!? I get it!
2: Looking from above, I assumed that they were walking through the meadow.
3: What should I do? This is bad...
4: ! They're windward...
5: No...the wind stopped.
6: Calm down...this is where I have to aim. I need to slowly...change my position.
7: Slowly...slowly.
8: Hide in the bushes...
9: The female in front.
10: Be careful of the grating sound...
11: Pull slowly...
12: Please...!
13: Don't notice!!

44)
1: Close...
2: Haven't they noticed...?
3: I can do this! it's enough...
4: I can hit them!!
5: Oh no...

45)
1: I
2: I did it!!
3: Wh...
4: at!??
5: It...ran...
6: But I hit it...
7: I-I have to chase it!!

46)
1: That arrow hit it!
2: Around its neck.
3: It should be suffering from a very deep wound!
4: It may fall down a distance away from here...
5: Japanese readers will probably remember the "Arrow Duck" news that was all over the TV in 1993. Wild animals possess extremely song survival ability, so unless they are pierced in a vital spot, they will not fall down instantly.
6: Even with rifles or buckshots, unless a bullet hits a vital spot, the prey will escape. That's why hunters bring hunting dogs with them -- to chase after the injured prey.
7: Even if it's injured...there is no way a wild animal could be chased down by a mere amateur.
8-11: haa
12: What's going on here...I know...
13-15: haa
16: I know it was hit...

47)
1: Was there a problem with the strength of my bow...? No, it shouldn't be that much different from real ones--...
2: And the deer was stabbed so deeply!
3: What other problem could there be...?
4: The sun's started to set...
5: I need to give up and start climbing the northern ridge...
6: If the sun goes down while I'm in the forest, I'll be in trouble...
7: I need to hurry...
8: Sei's plan was too naive.
9: Even though the mountain may have not looked that tall from afar, traversing it using a path and traversing it through the forest are completely different things.
10: Occasionally, he could look down through the trees-
11: to see the ocean, the school, and the tower, making sure of his position as he continued.
12: Meanwhile, the sun mercilessly continued to fall.

48)
1: Ha...
2-3: haa
4: Hurry.
5: I need to hurry...
6: Light...! Please
7: Please light...
8: Ahhh.
9: The sun's already down.
10: Dammit...
11: Finding dry, easily burnable wood within a forest is not easy. In order to make green wood burnable, a little processing like what Sei is doing is necessary.
12: Light...
13: The flame is so weak, I can't see much...
14: What should I do...?
15: I guess I should find a place where I can lie down and wait for morning.
16: If I don't get some sleep...

49)
1: Ahhh
2-4: haa
5: C...calm down!
6: I...I have a lighter.
7: Dammit! I can't even see my hands!
8: This is bad...!
9: Uu...
10: waaaaahhh

50)
1: Ahhhh....!!?
2: G...g-ground...
3: How many meters...no, how many tens of centimeters did he fall...?
4: To Sei, it felt like he was falling endlessly into the darkness of the underworld.
5: The fear of not even knowing where you currently are..
6: Sei couldn't take another step.
7: The shivering still hasn't stopped.
8: What in the world...did I come here for?
9: What did you think you could do?

51)
1(2b): What a misunderstanding...YOU, hunting? You think you could actually do something like that?
2: What?
3: What am I...hearing...
4(2b): Try actually remembering...who you really are. How you're nothing.
5: You didn't do anything, did you...? Up until now.
6: N...o...
7: You're empty! Empty!
8: Remember...us...we're the...
9: have-nots.
10: What are you afraid of?
11: There's nothing to be afraid of.
12: That's right.
13: You came here to die, didn't you?
14: Ah
15: Waaaaaaahhhh
16: Ahh...
17-19: hah
20: No!
21: N...
22: No...!

52)
1: Wha...?! Light...oh!
2: It was light.
3: Everyone's bonfires...!
4: Lost in the dark, with nothing to rely on, something flickers
5: The proof that human effort exists somewhere--...
6: a light that clamps tightly around one's heart.
7: Light...
