Becoming an Oni in this land of illusion

Chapter 3

I've easily gathered firewood because this is a forest so it's easy to find twigs and wood

Sofia: hmm... How to use my ability?

Sofia: by feeling?

Sofia: Why do I have no memories of the original Ibaraki?

Sofia: well I hope it will turn out fine...

Oni's have a thing for violence, alcohol, and anger issues so probably I could use it under these circumstances

Let me imagine that bastard's face...

-----

A light yellow-haired girl stares absentmindedly and she clenches her fist

Flames started to appear in her hands as it dances wildly ready to burn everything on its way

Sofia: it works

The flames dissipate in her hand

Sofia: though without anger it seemed it will dissipate

I should know how to control it little by little so I wouldn't use emotions as fuel

Well... I should make a smokeless pit

Wait, Even better I could be the fire because I'm immune to it

And I need to use the name Ibaraki Douji since Sofia a former De Luca is dead...

But does that mean I'm in Nasuverse?

I'm not being summoned by magic or portal so I could safely say no

I don't meet any weird being so...

It's a mess really

Ibaraki: from now on My name is Ibaraki-Douji, the leader of the oni clan on Mt. Ooe.

Heh... I wanted to say this, this is her first dialogue when you summon her

Ibaraki: well I need to hunt food... I hope Stella is living her best

------------

I just walk a straight line towards the north and am surprised there's already a bear on my way

But strangely enough, this bear is much larger than what I've seen And it's currently intimidating me

This bear had the gall to intimidate me

This f****ing b**ch-

Ahem... Anyway I should take it easy because I don't know the level of strength of this bear

Ibaraki immediately grabs the bear's face

Ibaraki: don't f**k with me!

*crack* she slammed the bear's head to the ground despite she already crushed it and detaches it from its body blood has stained the ground because of it

Ibaraki: haaa~ that felt good for some reason

Ibaraki: and I let those feelings control me... I should've experienced counseling so I know how to curb it

Ibaraki: does being a hermit will help me?

Ibaraki: whatever...

She grabbed the severed body and single-handedly carried it toward her temporary camping spot

---------

Ibaraki: now what...?

I mean I didn't expect to get a bear I just want to find a rabbit or a wolf

grilling this big animal is very hard

Especially this animal is about 3 times larger than me

Smoking meant fully cutting this whole bear up and putting it on branches and having a smoke underneath which is bad because I don't know much about the situation in the world because the smoke will draw some people toward me

And I'm an Oni now so thats that

Sun-drying it... I don't have a knife and the amount of meat in this bear is too much to bear

Hehehe... I'm quite proud of myself

Anyway I'll try how sharp my claws are

Ibaraki: thats quite sharp...

I could easily penetrate the hide of the bear which means I could use my nail as a substitute for a knife

Ibaraki: also the salt problem

Hickory roots, wild carrots, parsnip, and coltsfoot are sources of salt but...

I don't have the complete tools for it... That meant I don't know what to do

Ibaraki: screw this! I'll burn this bastard up and eat it

Ibaraki conjures flames and incinerates the carcass

She underestimate her flames and now she eats burnt meat

Ibaraki: it tastes so bad...

--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm full... Despite the giant bear I've managed to eat it whole

Even the organs... My stomach seemed made out of steel since it doesn't bother me in any way

Ibaraki: Shelter... Made out of leaves if possible wood

There are vines so I could use them and little branches that have many leaves I could collect it

Four vines in each section could support it

Also, I need to pick slim branches as a support for the roof and I need grass to make a makeshift bed... Regarding the walls

Yeah... I'll try to not catch a cold watching something and doing are two different things

I want to say that the survival videos succeeded because they have starter tools to begin with or they are next to the sea

-----------------

It's already noon and it's a good thing I've finished this poor state of a shelter

I've tied the vines Between the trees I've made sure it strengthens and doesn't have any curves on it

I've put the slim branches to act as a rail and cover it up with leaves

Though I doubt it will prevent rain at least I could call it a shelter and below it is a grass bed

The lack of plastic made me realize that this forest has no regular visitors

And there's no nearby modern civilization because plastic cellophane is common to see if there is one

Ibaraki: it's noon now and I need to sleep

Ibaraki: I doubt ordinary animals can pose a threat to me...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ibaraki: I didn't even manage to get a wink...

Ibaraki: stupid mosquitos, annoying insects, and the occasional aggressive animals

Ibaraki: this sucks...

Ibaraki: I don't care anymore! I will beat a person and steal their house!

Ibaraki: I mean... I need to find someone for shelter and a job

Ibaraki: I could do anything... It's not hard right?

Yeah, it's not hard at all you just need to have a proper resume and graduation certificate and some extra things...

Ohh... Yeah I forgot there's no city and besides that, I'm an Oni

Ibaraki: worst thing is killing someone the best thing if that person hires me

Ibaraki: I'll find someone who is willingly to hire me

Ibaraki: there's surely a house in the woods because in movies theres a lot of those
