Even though we had a hard time, it was a good thing that we were able to kill the three orcs we had targeted just today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had expected it to take two or three days at the earliest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now this storage bag is officially mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This hunt has made me understand the usefulness of this storage bag more and more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought I knew it, but it is something you can really feel when you actually use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even though I had dismantled it, there was still plenty of room to store three orcs.

Not having to throw away the medicinal herbs and other prey that I hunt on the way back home is something that I am very thankful for, both mentally and from a financial standpoint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these thoughts in mind, I proceed carefully on my way home, having learned my lesson from the battle with Crowler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I use my appraisal and store all the medicinal herbs I can find.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the end, we were able to kill one more crawler and two more forest mutton before leaving the forest.

I was sorry for upsetting the familiar gatekeeper when we passed through the back gate, seeing me stained green with Crowler's bodily fluids.

It would have been awkward to go to the butcher shop and the alchemy shop dressed like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thinking of this, I decide to go back to my house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As soon as I arrived home, I took off my soiled clothes, drew more water from the well, and poured it over my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I managed to finish washing off the green color of the well before I ran out of water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After thoroughly wiping the water off my equipment with a dry cloth, I hung it inside the house to dry in the shade and put on my new clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if the green stained clothes will be ...... clean even if I wash them. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I should just soak them in water and leave them there for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sun has set by the time I've finished that much work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hurry to the grocery store and buy some vegetables for dinner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I throw them into a storage bag and hurry to the alchemy shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since I was in town, of course I was not using any skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have to be careful not to use my skills by accident, since it might be an act of teaching them to others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good evening!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As soon as I arrived at the alchemy shop, I shouted loudly into the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then the wife came out and said, "Oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My husband told me that you defeated an orc. Mine, that's great! I'm so surprised at you, sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His beautiful wife's praise makes his face light up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hehehe, not so much, huh? By the way, is your brother home?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes, I'll go get him now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After saying this, his wife disappeared into the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After waiting for a while, the older brother came out from inside, wiping his hands with a towel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Mr. Mine, what's going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I've killed three orcs!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I cheerfully answered his question, his face took on the same drawn expression that I had seen on that morning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... aren't you early?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think we got lucky! I was told three orcs, but can I offer you meat too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Luck is ...... not enough to beat three orcs with luck, though."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The brother gave a wry smile and told me that he didn't want any meat, just the usual ingredients.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since I had three orcs and bones, I moved to a large workshop at the back of the store and took out everything there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's three orcs for sure. I was thinking the same thing in the morning, but you really did a good job of disassembling them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After his wife, his brother praised him, and his face lit up again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't see anything wrong with the material at all, and as promised, Mr. Mine, the storage bag is now yours.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I never thought my trusted brother would lie to me, but I am relieved to hear him say so again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you! I'll bring it back when I can hunt again! Oh, by the way, can I buy this one too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, he pulls out some of Crowler's dismantled materials and some of the threads he spit out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I wonder if we can sell the horns and hooves of the sheep too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, a crawler. I don't think we can buy the meat from you or the butcher. I can buy the antennae and the tail and the thread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He gave me four silver coins and six copper coins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The breakdown was three silver coins for the antennae and tails of the two animals, and one silver and six copper coins for all the threads.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that the threads are surprisingly expensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are used to make expensive cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Also, the horns and hooves of six sheep are worth 24 silver coins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They also pay a surprisingly high price for these.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, both horns and hooves can be ground into powder and mixed with something to make a sleeping potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Overjoyed at the unexpected income, I ask him about something that came to my mind during the hunt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......By the way, I have a favor to ask you: ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A favor? What's going on all of a sudden? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... would you like to observe me mixing a potion?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess my offer was so unexpected that he looked stunned and thought for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Fine, but even if you look at ......, if you don't have the skills, you won't be able to do it well, will you? If it's of poor quality, maybe you can make it with repeated practice. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, of course! We'd love to have you!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As it turned out, the potion could be made with well water and herbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The water flowing underground in the town of Lucas is said to be "clean water".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well water can be pumped up as much as one wants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll try to make it as soon as I get home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Incidentally, we were also allowed to observe the mixing of a high potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The recipe seems to use medicinal herbs and "pure running water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This water is said to come from the upper reaches of the clear stream that flows in the Muehl Mountains, about 2 days away from the town of Lucas by horse-drawn carriage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, there may be other places where "pure running water" can be obtained, but it is said that this is the nearest place from this town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After finishing the preparation, we thanked them and headed home via the butcher shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The butcher shop should be closing soon, so I am not sure if I can make it in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I turn this corner, and there is a butcher shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hurry to get to the butcher shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I turn the corner, I see a man who is closing his store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh? What's the rush, kid?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When he saw me, he called out to me with a grin and a toothy grin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He smiled at me with his very favorite smile, a smile that was not scary at all in spite of his very handsome face!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good, Uncle ...... can I still buy it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm? Have you been hunting something again? Good, but let me close the store first. Otherwise, we'll have endless customers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Laughing, the uncle resumes cleaning up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll help you, too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Oh, yeah! Can you do me a favor then?" He hands me a broom and dustpan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After about five minutes of cleaning up, we were able to finish the job without incident.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We moved into the restaurant with the door closed, and the uncle served us oak meat, rabbit, and lamb.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... boy, have you hunted orcs again? With this amount of ...... two, or is it three? That's enough for one person."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So saying, the uncle handed me five gold coins and fifty-five silver coins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I gave you a little extra, you're rich at once, boy! Gahahahaha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put the money in the bag and thank the uncle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you for everything, Uncle!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No problem. Are you going hunting tomorrow? If so, be careful, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uncle speaks with a concerned look on his face. ...... I really appreciate it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah! Thanks, I'll remember your warning while I hunt! Well, good night!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thank him and head home this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm going to have a good dream today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Today, someone was given an interesting skill."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... you bother to report that, that's quite something, what kind of skills?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[Appraisals, all]."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the darkness, two men are talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The conversation between these two men will later have a great impact on Mine's life, but of course, Mine has no way of knowing this at the moment.
