"What are you planning to do now?"
With all the animals gone from the house, Mateo wanted to check the traps he set up a few days ago. He wanted to see if there were any catches. There was nothing to do at home right now, and learning strange characters might lead to trouble. Considering Clara's spirited appearance and her health condition, Mateo was reluctant to leave her at home. Well, it's safer to bring her along.
"Let's go to the forest and check the traps I set. Cla, there might be a lot of animals there." Mateo, after returning home and seeing the mess and the animals killed, felt a sense of owing something to Clara. Those animals, originally intended to be kept for Clara, were more than just animals in his eyes now. It was an indescribable feeling, a desire to give Clara more, to become stronger himself.
He wanted to make Clara happy!
Clara's face lit up at the mention of going to the forest. She eagerly nodded.
