I woke up feeling a sense of danger.
It's still far away, but heading to this place quickly.
What to do? Should I move?
Or keep hiding like this?
Calm down my heart and check its presence.
Given the speed of its movement, I can't outrun it.
I pressed my body against the gap in the tree I found.
I can only hold my breath, hide my presence, and wait for it to pass.

After a while, the sound of fallen leaves being stepped in gradually approaches.
The sound comes from more than one but a few dozen.
The presence was mixed, so I need help figuring out the numbers.
Hold the body that seems to tremble, and harden it so it doesn't move as much as possible.
If I move, they'll notice!
Under the tree where I lurk, a lot of noise passes by.
Move my line of sight slowly and check the origin of the sound.
Through the gap in the tree, I could see a glowing body lit by the moonlight.
Certainly, that is huge; I've seen it in the book.
They're supposed to be monsters that attacked the group.
If I look closely, several black lumps are moving under the tree...
Its size is over 1 meter, and its movement is…..fast!
My body is trembling when I look, so I shut my eyes tightly and erase my presence.

How much time has passed, the presence of the Huge Ants has moved away.
But I still can't move.
If I move now, they might come back and attack me.
After quite a while, strength finally left my body.
I'm exhausted.
The presence is no more, but I still check my surroundings to ensure.
This forest may be close to the Huge Ant's nest.
So that's why there are no animals around…..
Ha ha, I didn't notice.
The reason for the tiny number of animals is that there was a cause.
Speaking of which, it seems there were multiple traces on the ground…..
Are these their footprints?
I don't know about it for the first time, but I'll remember it.
Even so, their numbers are astounding.
I'm glad they didn't notice me.
It was terrifying.

I dismantle the wild rat that got caught in a trap.
Compared to my first time, I can dismantle it fast now.
The greatest enemy when dismantling is the smell.
Even if you are careful, the smell of blood will inevitably fill the surroundings.
Dismantle it as quickly as possible and move immediately.
This is how I basically do it.

Wash the dismantled meat with water and wrap it neatly with large banana leaves.
Bana leaves have a sterilizing effect and are often used to wrap meat.
It's one of the trees easily found in the forest.
Put it in a bag, and just leave the bones and the like from dismantling it right there.
Even if it's quickly dismantled, the smell of the blood will attract monsters to come.
Leaving the bones there will attract the monsters as bait and give me time to move away.
After several experiences, I realized that this method was the safest.

I stop and listen.
I detect a person's presence; even though it's faint, I can hear their voice.
I have arrived at the second village.
From here on, I'll enter the village and gather information.
Can the meat in the bag I got a little while ago be exchanged for a bit of money?
Let's think about it after looking at the state of the village.

Many travelers could be seen in the village.
There are quite a few who look like adventurers.
Even if outsiders sell meat in this village, they will not stand out.
I heard that dried wild rat meat is nutritious and popular.
Freshness is crucial when selling.

Look around the street from the center of the village.
From among the shops that sell meat, I enter the butcher closest to the center of the village.
"Excuse me, I want to sell wild rat meat."
"Oh, a wild rat, eh? Let me see it for a bit."

A well-built man walks out of the shop.
He was surprised to see my appearance but said nothing about it.
Pass the meat wrapped in the banana leaves as it is.
The man confirmed the meat and nodded once.
This is my first time doing this, so my heart is beating loudly.
"The freshness is good, alright. The price for the meat is 100 Dal."
I check the price of dried meat sold nearby.
So my meat, 100 Dal, is worth five days of dried beef.
So it's like that.
"Then, please,"
"Got it."

On my hand, there are 100 Dal.
This is the first time I have got money; I'm excited.
"I'm counting on you if you catch it again. Lately, most people have been aiming only at big prey, so few bring wild rat meat."
I bow my head once and leave the store.
I put money in a bag tied to my waist to avoid dropping it.
I tied the waist strap, exited the village, and entered the forest.
"I did it!"

Earning money by myself, my face breaks into a smile.
I can't get a job with my skills.
It is hard, but I can live hunting and selling the meat.
I can imagine the future just a little bit, making me happy.
"Let's hunt some wild rats and make a little money before moving out."
