Book 4: Chapter 62
I didn’t know what kind of beasts they were. I wonder if the beasts noticed that the number of early summer birds had decreased and decided to approach the nest, or if it originally is a kind of beast that preys on the eggs of early summer birds.
There were many broken eggs in the “egg storage”. If they were eaten by a predator, that would explain it.
It was almost evening.
Although the number of early summer birds increased slightly, the pack of beasts was still hiding in the woods.
——I think the beasts are waiting for nightfall. Visibility will decrease at night. However, even the early summer birds are not neglecting their vigilance either.
That was Punta’s analysis.
Which means we have to finish our errand before nightfall.
It was finally evening. What I was waiting for appeared. Fog.
Fog created by the atmospheric temperature difference during daytime appears from evening to morning. Therefore, the fog occurring at this point was only faint. However, what I was planning to do would be more unnatural if there was zero fog.
