I returned to my tent and stared intently at my account slate.

My name was engraved on it.

I’m glad that my existence is somewhat recognized.

 

I probably should start getting ready to go to Otorwa Town.

I’m sad to leave Latome Village, but I want to visit a lot more villages and towns.

In addition, I was told to go to the town near the royal capital by the fortune teller who took care of me in Latomi Village.

I don’t know what will happen there, but I was told to go there without fail.

I asked for the reason several times, but she had never answered me clearly. She was dead serious about telling me to go to the town.

I don’t know what will happen, but I want to keep my promise.

Yeah, let’s get ready for the journey.

 

Ah, I almost forgot.

I came here to get some sopura fruit.

I have to dry the skin and turned them into powder.

For now, I should finish this before starting my journey.

I’m going to set some traps and get some money while waiting for them to dry.

After I decided what I was going to do, first I peeled the skins of sopura fruit.

 

“So tired~”

 

Since I worked hard to harvest them, I got more sopura fruit than I thought.

It was quite a lot of work peeling their skin one by one.

As I loosened my stiff shoulders, I lined up sopura skin on a cloth spread outside my tent.

I guess it will take around 2 or 3 days to dry.

It’s alright because this weather is likely to continue, but I have to be ready if it rains.

Now, then…

I finished lining up the sopura skin, then returned to my tent. Sora was rolling around.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

Sora’s gaze turned towards my bag.

Is it hungry?

I took out Sora’s potions and placed them in front of it.

Sora was apparently hungry since it soon leaped upon the potions and started eating.

 

“Well, then will make some traps.”

 

I’m going to make some field mice and wild rabbits traps.

If Adandara comes again, let’s tell it that I’m going to leave this village.

Nevertheless, it had helped me a lot.

Though it was helped by Sora, but in the end I was the one getting helped.

I wonder what I have to prepare for my journey?

My clothes are fine, I don’t need to prepare traps for the journey either, but I do need some ropes.

I guess I need a little more tree fruit and food, I’m worried that I have too little.

About Sora’s potions, I’ll just bring those in my bag.

 

“It’s done!”

 

I made 10 field mice traps and 10 wild rabbits traps then put them in my bag.

Sora is sleeping like usual.

I checked the drying progress of sopura fruit and looked at the sky.

I’m not sure if the weather will stay nice until tonight, so let’s put them inside the tent.

I boiled some water and brew tea.

Dried meat, tea and tree fruit.

I’m relieved because I can eat my usual meal.

I boiled some water again, wiped my body in the tent and went to rest early.

Tomorrow I will have to walk quite a bit in the forest to set up a lot of traps.

I hope I can find good spots to set them up though.

 

“Sora, good night.”

 

 

When I opened my eyes slightly, the inside of the tent was starting to get brighter.

Although it was a little too early, I faced upwards, reached my hands upwards and relaxed my body.

If I’m going to leave this village, I have to build back my alertness.

Since I started sleeping in my tent, I might have lowered my guard.

 

“Good morning, Sora.”

 

I had my meal together with Sora, then I took a tea break.

I left the tent bringing the bag filled with traps and the bag with Sora in it.

I exchanged greetings with the adventurer area’s caretaker and bowed lightly to the patrolmen.

As expected, since I had done it for so many times, I was able to greet them without getting embarrassed.

I guess this is also a development?

 

“Oh, Ivy, you’re so early, good morning.”

 

“Good morning. Vice Captain Verivela, about yesterday’s problem, was it alright?”

 

I’m worried after all.

It should be alright if I just ask.

 

“Yeah, I made Captain deal with them.”

 

…What was that, he looked so refreshed.

I wonder if Captain Argud is alright?

 

“Um, is that so…then see you later!”

 

“Oh, be careful.”

 

I wonder if I shouldn’t have asked in the first place.

I’m worried about Captain Argud.

I walked around the forest looking for traces of wild rabbits and field mice.

I found some of their traces, but I also found traces of large animals around them.

If I set the traps there, they are highly likely to be crushed.

I couldn’t really find good spots to set them.

 

Ah, I sensed this presence again.

This is…

I stopped and looked around.

I waited for a while, but nothing happened.

Was that not it?

 

“Gururu.”

 

As expected!

As I turned to the direction of the voice, Adandara was there, holding something in its mouth.

Since Adandara came after I felt that invisible presence, perhaps my thinking was spot on.

 

“Good morning, Adandara.”

 

“Gururu.”

 

Adandara looked at me and started walking.

As I stared at it in confusion, Sora followed after Adandara.

I hurriedly followed after it as well.

After a while, we reached the river.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

 

Adandara dropped the things in its mouth and nudged it towards me with its foreleg.

Wild rabbits and wild mice.

 

“Adandara, these are your food, right? I have received enough presents from you so you don’t have to give me any more.”

 

I talked to it while looking at its eyes, but Adandara once again nudged them towards me.

What should I do?

I have received more than enough present from you.

I looked at Adandara.

Its ears were flopping down.

 

“This time is the last. I’ll accept them. Thank you.”

 

“Gururu.”

 

Its ears went up and it purred.

When I petted its head, it narrowed its eyes and looked pleased.

How cute.

Well, let’s start dissecting.

Just by seeing them, I know there are a lot today as well.

Ah, about the traps…let’s dissect quickly.
