Inescapable jungle 1

day 1 in the forest

The next morning all the kids woke up still looking sleepy due to not getting used to sleep on the ground but there was still no sign of the Kobayashi sensei who went to call for help.

The children were all hungry due to not eating anything yesterday and there wasn't any food left with us so we need to go to the forest in hope that there is something edible in the forest.

so Nishimura sensei decided to go to forest in order to look for something to eat while I decided I would go as well and volunteered by seeing me three other kids also volunteered themselves

Irina: I will also help in the search ....

as she said I stopped her and pulled her aside

Yuu: Irina you can't go I want you to stay here

Irina: but I also want to help

Yuu: that's why you have to stay here and looked after everyone

Yuu: since Nishimura sensei is not going to be here someone may do something stupid due to being afraid so please watch over them for me and stay safe alright

as I said while looking her in the eye while she glanced at others and back to me and nodded

Nishimura: it's good that you guys are being lovey dovey even in this situation but we need to to go get food for everyone

Irina became embarrassed and ran of to the rest of the class

Nishimura: damn it!! even kids are dating these days why the heck am I still single!!

Yuu: sensei Irina and I are not dating yet you know

Nishimura: not dating yet you two always act like a married couple infact you two should just get married

Yuu: sensei you do know that is against the law right? we are still kids

Nishimura: shut up!! just don't talk to me for a while I'm really frustrated right now!

seeing sensei like that the gloomy air around became bright and cheerful and everyone was laughing while Irina was blushing while mumbling something

we went for gathering of food under sensei's guidance I left a shadow clone secretly near the cave to stand guard while we went to collect herbs.

Nishimura: Just a further ahead there must be some wild berries over there

student 1: sensei is correct there really are wild berries here

student 2: sensei is amazing

Yuu: ...

Nishimura: what's the matter Yuu you look like you are troubled

Yuu: no sensei it's nothing

as we went further and collected food then sensei took us to a water pond where there was fresh water.

we collected everything and hurried back to the camp since the others must be starving. On our way back I silently released another shadow clone to scout the area and send serch for help

we went back and gave everyone food and water everyone seemed to be very hungry as they ate without complain.

the day passed away without anything major happening and night came and I kept watch over night while everyone slept I was quite stunned by the fact that sensei was able to sleep just normally without worrying about any wild animals.

day 2 in the forest

The next morning I received a report from my shadow clone that there is a barrier of mist covering the region of forest with us as centre within 5km

This information changes a lot and specifically our local being in centre I don't know who is doing this and what their game plan is but what concerns me is why they haven't made their move yet or could it be they have already made their move and I haven't realised it yet

damn it!! this is totally different from fighting a few low class devil's in the street and night I need to be more guard from now from the look of things they already have upper hand at this current situation

As I thought while looking for food I suddenly realised that there aren't much food compared to last time it is like half of the trees were burnt by something but what's more odd is I didn't see any smoke coming.

I need to quickly find the one behind it and kill him soon because from the information from system I am not strong enough to destroy the barrier

as per the situation there is sudden scarcity of food and we can eat only once or twice per day and that food also won't long only a few days at most there isn't much time left but there is also a question about the strength of the enemy

as the day pass everyone was tired and didn't have much energy after searching for other food but couldn't find anything in the end

As it was getting dark we lit the campfire since it was getting cold Irina and I sat together she clung to me lightly

as we sit in our usual place looking at the campfire suddenly there was sound bushes and through it a silhouette appeared from the bushes and collapsed everyone was scared while I and Nishimura sensei went towards the figure and looked at him to find out it was Nakamura sensei who went out to get help but he was pale and deadly tired as he was clinging to his life
