Hide myself in the shadow of a tree and look around. |
I could see a man a little distance away. |
He seems to be accompanied by a slime. |
I'm curious if he's a 2-star tamer. |
Slime is a monster that requires two stars and is used to process organic matter. |
It is a critical job; it's called the garbage man. |
Some slime may treat inorganic materials, but it seems rare. |
What is he doing here? |
Men take out trash from their magic bags and let the slime dispose of them. |
He looks like an adventurer from afar. |
I felt several at a distance when I checked for presence around me. |
The presence was so thin that I didn't notice it. |
It may be a team of high-ranking adventurers. |
I quietly move away in the opposite direction from them. |
When I return to the animal path, I breathe out. |
I was so nervous. |
In the depths of the forest, a little farther, there are signs of the adventurers. |
That said, it could be thicker and easier to read. |
I felt their presence and saw if they were coming in my direction. |
It seems they didn't, so what a relief. |
Perhaps they notice my presence. |
But not interested. |
It's my first time seeing an adventurer with such a thin presence. |
It's a little scary. |
Take a deep breath and walk towards the next village. |
I stopped several times to check for presence around me. |
There are various presences, but it's not hostile. |
I can no longer feel the presence of the team of adventurers. |
If they deliberately hide their presence, I wouldn't find them, but it's okay. |
I walk while avoiding monsters and animals. |
Since I have never seen an accurate map, I do not know the distance to the next village. |
For now, I choose a path that stays within the village road. |
Four days before arriving at the next village. |
This is weird. |
There's a garbage dump in front of me. |
But there are no villages around. |
I heard that a dump is always near a village. |
I look at the things that have been thrown. |
Discolored potion, a broken bottle. |
A broken sword and possibly a broken magic bag. |
I know there are more broken things than the dump in the village. |
Perhaps it's been abandoned by adventurers? |
I heard about it, but this is my first time seeing it. |
Looking at the trash, there is nothing that can be taken. |
I take out the trash I had planned to dispose of from my magic bags. |
I have an unpleasant feeling; let's just not throw it away. |
I can always throw it away in a village, so I won't do it here. |
There is also a slime to process it in the village. |
But, more than the number is needed. |
Two stars tamers can tame up to five slimes per person. |
Only a few do it; I heard that most people only tame two. |
The amount that can be processed in one day varies depending on the slimes. |
I heard that the capital and towns are hiring many tamers. |
Villages can give money to a town to process it, but most villages need help to afford it. |
Therefore, there's a garbage dump. |
I understand, but I can't overlook it. |
I heard that things in the forest are abandoned by adventurers. |
Adventurer's team must always have a tamer with a slime in their team. |
This is decided by law. |
You can throw away things your slime can't handle in a dedicated place. |
But the reality is the illegal dump in front of me. |
Since the broken things become a burden, they will be left in the forest. |
Few adventurer's teams have slime to handle inorganic matter. |
At least the S-ranked team has one; the Fortune Teller said so. |
It doesn't matter if I throw it away, but I stopped. |
Somehow, it will only be in the way. |
Is this the one called [Illegal Dumping]? |
...Let's continue to the village. |
Let's throw it away in the village garbage dump. |
While moving along the animal path, I try to search for small animals, but they are hard to find. |
I can only hunt small animals like rabbits and mice. |
I wish I could hunt something more prominent, but if I get greedy, I'll get hurt. |
I learned this from experience. |
It's still impossible with my ability. |
"…..There's none~…..what a shame." |
There are no small animals around here. |
I need help finding them even after searching for their presence. |
I'm glad I picked the nuts I found on the way. |
Otherwise, I will put my hand on the last piece of dried meat. |
But, there are few small and large animals in this place. |
Once again, I checked for presence around me but didn't catch anything. |
That's strange... |
I looked for a while and gave up. |
Eat the nuts and find a place to sleep today. |
There are no holes or caves that can be used as hiding places. Is it on a tree today? |
Look around for trees and choose the one with a thick trunk. |
Its branch was thick and more stable, so I decided to rest on a slightly higher branch. |
A little early, but let's rest for today. |
I'm somewhat tired. |
The most inconvenient part of a journey is sleep; you can't sleep well. |
You're likely to die if you sleep well. |
