A little while after finishing the task of checking what I had picked up, I felt the presence of someone approaching.

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

I hid Sola, which had been swaying slowly after eating, in my bag and looked in the direction of the sign.

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

I saw three men, dressed similarly to the gatekeepers, coming toward me.

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

I panicked a little, but since Sola was already in the bag, it wouldn't be a problem.

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

Some adventurers bring their garbage directly to the dump, so there is nothing strange about my being here.

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

But why did they come this way?

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

Perhaps you're making the rounds to the dump?

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

I grab my bag and start walking toward the men to head back to the village.

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

The three men saw me, but I was able to walk past them without being stopped.

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

Thank goodness.

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

I stop a short distance away and look back.

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

They looked at the whole dumping ground and went straight into the woods.

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

I wondered if they were patrolling the woods as well.

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

If so, it may not be possible to sleep in the woods.

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

If you are far from the village, sleeping in the forest is not a problem.

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

But there is a well-maintained square in the village of Latome.

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

I can't think of any reason to go out of my way to sleep in the dangerous forest.

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

What should I do?

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

Sleep deeper in the forest?

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

But I don't know how far they are patrolling, and I am concerned about the number of adventurers in this village.

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

It seems like there are almost twice as many for sure than in previous villages.

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

That would increase the rate of encounters in the forest, so I can't let Sola out freely even in the forest.

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

Come to think of it, the closer we get to the village, the more often I have to let Sola in and out of the bag.

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

Huh, there are patrols and many adventurers.

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

Is it like this everywhere in a big village?

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

I'm planning to go to town next, so I need to find something fundamental to solve the problem.

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

When we go to the entrance of the village, this time a different person is standing as a gatekeeper.

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

I wondered if I would be asked any more questions, but this time I was able to enter the village without being told anything.

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

Was it possible that I had behaved suspiciously the first time?

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

I try not to act conspicuously, but I'll be careful.

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

I look around the village, but it is still crowded, and there are people patrolling.

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

It's dangerous to take out a sola in the village.

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

While looking around, I enter a butcher shop.

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

I went into one butcher shop to buy some dried meat and to check if they are buying meat from the market.

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

Welcome.

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

I entered the store and an elderly lady came out from the back.

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

A little nervous, I looked around the store for dried meat.

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

I found two kinds of dried meat, small bags and large bags, and the large bags seemed to be a little more economical.

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

I paid 300 Dal for the large bag.

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

Excuse me, sir," she said. I would like to ask you a few questions.

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

What is it?

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

Is the dried meat field mouse?

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

Field mice and rabbits. The one you just bought is a hare, which is a little cheaper than a field mouse because it's bigger and easier to get. There are also pigeons, but they are more expensive because they are harder to catch.

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

I heard that there are different kinds of dried meat in the town and surrounding villages, but it's true.

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

But still, it was a wild rabbit, or I thought it was a field mouse.

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

I stare at the dried meat I bought.

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

I can't tell the difference because it is ...... dried meat.

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

'If you hunt them, could you buy the meat for me?'

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

'Of course! But only if it's fresh."

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

I understand.

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

Are you hunting alone?

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

Yes," he said. There's a little nuisance around here with a fanged animal called a gnocer, so watch out."

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

Thank you."

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

Nonoshi?

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

I've never heard of it.

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

Not a demon, but an animal.

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

When I left the butcher shop and returned to the plaza, the person in charge had changed.

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

I showed him the permission board and went to the place I had secured.

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

On the way, a small tent comes into view.

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

A tent.

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

If it's a tent, it might be okay to put Sola out there.

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

I wonder how much a one person tent would cost?

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

I'm also curious about the weight, and I'd like to take a look and find out.

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

I look around and see a sign.

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

'Only good quality used equipment!

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

Can I buy a used one?

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

I have a little extra because of the information fee.

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

Considering the future of Sola and I, I might want a tent.

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

I check the sign to see where the store is located and then turn my attention to the street.

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

I found the store I had seen on the sign at a side street off the main road.

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

I peeked inside and saw that there were many adventurers there.

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

"Buying something?"

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

I held my mouth, about to scream, and turned around when I was suddenly approached.

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

Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to startle you.

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

Behind him was a man who was guarding the gate at the entrance to the village.

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

Beside him was a man I didn't recognize.

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

Don't startle the kid."

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

As I watch the stranger warn the gatekeeper, I take a deep breath to calm my noisy heart.

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

'Ha ha ha, my bad, my bad. So, are you buying anything?"

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

Yes," he said. A used one-person tent."

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

A tent?" ......It seems that the impoverishment in Latomi village is real if they don't provide it when they are evicted from the village."

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

Latomi village is impoverished?

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

We weren't wealthy, but I don't think we were that impoverished because of the specialties in our village.

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

Yes! I'll introduce you. It's my father's store, where he's very skilled."

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

Saying this, he grabs my hand and pulls me vigorously to walk away.

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

For some reason, he decided to introduce me to the restaurant.

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

However, the hand he grabbed hurts a little because of the different stride.
