Hunting the Wendigo

Emily

Trish, watch your back!

Trish

I know...!

Emily

Are you all right?

Trish

...Yeah. I'm fine!

Trish

That thing hits incredibly hard, but it's slower than I expected.

Trish

We've already worn it down quite a bit, so this next strike should finish it!

Trish

All right, you can just sit back and watch from here!

Trish

Because I'm going to be the first hunter ever to take down a Wendigo!

Trish

Here we go!

Trish

Ahaha! Hold still!

Trish

I'll finish you off in no time!

Trish

The way of the hunter! Show the prey mercy with a quick, clean kill!

Emily

Trish! There's a lot of snow piled up above you!

Emily

The slope is steep too, so a strong impact could be dangerous—

Trish

Ahaha! I know what I'm doing, so don't worry!

Trish

Agh! You're gonna blow out my eardrums! Pipe down!

Trish

Now stay down!

Trish

Here's one!

Trish

...Huh?

Trish

What was that light just now?

Trish

Something fell off its neck, didn't it?

Trish

A stone...?

Emily

Trish! Above you!

Trish

Tch...! That was close. Thanks!

Trish

Now for the real finishing blow!

Trish

Phew...!

Trish

I did it! I actually did it!

Trish

Top-tier hunter Trish defeated the monster Wendigo! Ahaha!

Trish

Hmm... But...

Trish

Was that really a Wendigo?

Trish

That was... way easier than I expected.

Trish

And now that I'm seeing it up close... it kind of looks like a bear.

Trish

Hmm...

Emily

Trish.

Trish

Oh, yeah?

Emily

That was far too dangerous.

Emily

Your fighting style really is...

Trish

Ahaha! Save the lecture for later.

Trish

I want to enjoy this moment.

Trish

Anyway, we won, didn't we?

Emily

*...Sigh* All right.

Emily

First, let's prepare to spend the night safely.

Emily

The fight delayed us quite a bit.

Emily

As for the campsite... we should move somewhere else.

Emily

I took a look around during the battle, and this area seems prone to avalanches.

Emily

At first, I thought this was flat ground... but it's actually a slope buried under deep snow.

Trish

Yeah. Got it.

Trish

We can recover the Wendigo's body... tomorrow, right?

Emily

...Trish, did you just hear something?

Trish

...That's strange.

Trish

Didn't the Wendigo collapse over there?

Trish

Where did it go already...?

Emily

...There it is.

Trish

W-wait, it's rolling!

Emily

This is dangerous. If something that heavy crashes into that unstable mass of snow...

Trish

You mean... like that...?

Emily

...It'll trigger an avalanche.

Trish

W-whoa!!!

Emily

Grab my hand...!

Emily

We're getting swept away!
