Waking up at noon is not something I enjoy. We spent the whole night cleaning and scrubbing the mud disaster. The mixture of slime, burnt rice and charred fish became a blackish sludge, which was extremely difficult to remove. The most complicated was the area of the stove. There was a sticky layer of grease, which had to be scoured twenty times or more. My hands are covered with blisters.
I must thank Mister Himura and the others for helping, I was so focused in cleaning, I barely noticed the rest. I have the strange impression Miss Kiryuu was watching us work from the corner.
After a long day in the forest hunting for the eggs, all I wanted was to sleep. At least the plan was successful. Chacha stayed with Watanuki, while Mister Himura and I approached to the riverbank. There was a large nest with three swan couples patrolling it. I started doubting when I saw one of these swans chase an invader squirrel and hurl it several meters into the sky, with a single movement of its neck. It resembled a judo throwing technique mixed with the aggressive nature of a wrestler. Or worse.
Mister Himura is notably courageous and talented, he swiftly sprinted to the swans and fled into the forest. Those vicious creatures never imagined it would be a decoy tactic! As planned, it granted me time to approach to the nests. Though... I wasn't expecting to find a swan offspring snarling at me, in its beady black eyes there was nothing but bestial ire. Without hesitating, it attacked me. After fighting for ten minutes, it performed a lunging assault, which I countered with a violent swat. The cygnet landed at the opposite side of the coast, though. I am glad I still have the short swords with me.The hilts and sheaths were partially gnawed on.
I safely stored the eggs in the bag and awaited for Mister Himura, until I received Miss Kiryuu's message.
I returned to the village as fast as I could, given the conditions of the fire, my main priority was to turn off the power of the Galley. The massive amount of mud summoned by one of Chacha's spells helped the situation, the problem was the aftermath. I'm certain Watanuki was somewhere hiding or unconscious after a seizure.
Fortunately, in the end no one was harmed.
