My name is Mine. I'm 13 years old and I'm a hunter's apprentice.

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

My parents died of an epidemic when I was five years old.

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

So I've been on my own ever since.

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

My father was a good hunter, so we have a lot of hunting tools.

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

I hunt rabbits and other small animals with those traps and sell them to earn my daily bread.

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

Fortunately, my father and mother were good with people and got along well with the townspeople.

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

They would buy our catch at a slightly higher price and sell us foodstuffs and daily necessities at a discount.

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

I managed to get by.

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

My father and mother are dead, but ....... But they are still helping me like this.

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

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the people of this town and to my mom and dad! Right on!

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

Today we are going to the forest behind the town of Lucas.

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

I'm going to check on the traps I set yesterday. It would help if I could get a hare or two out of the five traps I set. .......

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

"Hmm, are you seeing any hares here, too?"

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

I went through the traps I set yesterday and ......4 found nothing on any of them. .......

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

"I'm screwed...... with how little money I have left to live on. ......"

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

"......Oh, if only I had the skills, if only I had skills as great as the king, then I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble. .......

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

I have two years to go to adulthood......! What skills will God give me? If possible, I would like to have strong skills that would allow me to hunt prey with ease. ......"

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

Then I think I could be a great hunter like your father!

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

And hopefully I'll get a nice wife too.

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

In the meantime, we didn't catch any rabbits, so we'll have to think of something. .......

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

"...... Yeah? Is that Gurupi?"

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

Gurupi must have had a high buyout value because it is difficult to defeat because it is flying.

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

Yeah, if you kill that guy, you should be able to live for a while. .......

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

"But how do we kill him? ......"

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

　　　　　　　　◆◇◆◆◆◆

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

......I remember when your father used to say that?

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

"Listen to me, Mine.

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

Your father is going to teach you something very important."

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

You know the term "suicide mission"?

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

It's a term that refers to the ability to inflict more damage than normal on a specific object or to fight to an advantage."

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

"The famous one is a suicide attack against an opponent flying in the air. ...... If you fight with a bow or a spear, you can fight to your advantage."

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

"Yeah, okay! Father, it's a tokko, isn't it? I memorized it, tokko, tokko!"

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

I see, if I want to defeat Gurupi, I'd better use a bow!

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

"Right? Dad."

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

I asked my father, who was smiling at me in my chest

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

"......Yes, Mayin, how did you remember what your father said? That's great."

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

"Gurupis and birds are weak in the dark. They use it to their advantage to fight."

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

(......Thanks Dad) I thank him and get to thinking.

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

I wonder what he means by ...... vulnerable in the dark? Oh, you mean bird's eye?

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

A little further north from this location, there is a dimly lit area where no light reaches.

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

We'll drive him there and take him out.

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

I've been practicing my bow everyday, so I'm not skilled, but I'm pretty confident. .......

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

I don't know if I can actually beat it, but I think ...... it's worth a try.

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

Either way, if you can't beat it, you'll have nothing to eat.

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

...... Okay, well, I'll have to go home and get my bow from home.......

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

I carefully run home so as not to make a sound.

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

About 30 minutes later.

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

I came back to the base with my bow and arrows, but Gurupi was nowhere to be found.

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

That's right, it can't be that convenient, can it?

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

I kneel down on the ground and close my eyes.

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

I heard a roaring cry of "Gurup-pi" from a little distance away from me.

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

I looked in that direction and saw that I was on the far side of the forest that I had planned to drive into earlier.

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

Darn it! Looks like our luck was still with us.

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

Cautiously, I walked in the direction of the cry.

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

To my surprise, there was a herd of Gurupi.

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

(Oh, no! This is my chance!)

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

I carefully aim my arrow at the frontmost Gurupi, trying not to make a sound.

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

(...... and its head is facing that way, so I guess it will fly away in this direction.

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

Predicting the direction in which Gurupi will fly away, I take aim and release my arrow.

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

The arrow flies away with a whirring sound.

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

Gurupi notices the sound and flies away from the branch, in the direction I predicted. .......

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

GuruGuruGuru...... "GuruGuruPi falls to the ground with a thud, screaming in despair.

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

"Yes! Thanks to your father."

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

Can we hunt one more if we can?

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

I looked around and saw that all the Gurupi that had been there earlier had run away because of the shooting.

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

I close my eyes and listen again.

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

......Oh no, no, no, no.

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

I almost forgot my catch.

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

I put Gurupi's corpse away in the storage bag my father left me.

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

This bag is a useful tool for storing large quantities of non-living things. It's a necessity for a hunter.

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

It is very expensive and not really something an apprentice like me can afford.

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

I thank my father for this, too.

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

I am still protected by my mother and father.

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

I'll have to bring their favorite sunflower to their grave next time I visit them.

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

While I was thinking about that, I heard Gurupi's cry coming from the back of the house.

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

As before, I slowly approach Gurupi so as not to make any noise.

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

There in front of me was the herd that I had missed earlier.

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

Okay, I can manage to catch at least one more .......

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

I take aim at the nearest Gurupi as I did before.

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

I also observed one more in the direction of the herd, and fired my bow in quick succession.

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

"Yes!"

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

The sound of falling and the sound of a decisive cry are both two.

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

I think I've succeeded in dropping two of them.

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

I guess it's because of the suicide mission my father taught me.

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

Otherwise, there's no way I could have killed it with a single shot from my bow, which is so ineffective.

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

I quickly retrieved the two I had killed and put them in a storage bag.

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

I didn't catch any rabbits, but I did catch three more than rabbits, Gupti.

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

Now I don't have to be so miserable.

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

I'll take one of them to the butcher. I'll take the rest to the Adventurers' Guild.

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

If there is someone in the guild who wants Gurupi, they will pay a lot for him.

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

When I arrived at the guild, I found Ansem, who was the same age as me.

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

Ansem's father is the guild leader, so he's a selfish jerk.

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

"Hey there, orphan mine, what the hell are you doing here? We don't buy rabbits at the guild.

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

"Hello, I was wondering if you had any requests for an anthem, Gurupi..."

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

"Gruppi"? You (Mine) didn't get the gurupi, did you?"

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

"Hmm? What is it? Mr. Mine, if it's Gurupi you're looking for, I know just the person you're looking for."

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

"Oh, Dad!

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

The guild leader interrupted my conversation with Anthem.

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

"Oh, good! I have two of them, what do you think?"

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

"Hmmm, I'll buy one for five silver coins."

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

"I wish my anthems were as good as yours."
