We left the gate and headed for the place where we had set the trap.

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

On the way, I took Sola and the others out of their bags and they started to play happily with the snow.

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

The snow that fell last night had not melted by noon and was still piling up around their calves.

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

According to Dora, the snow will continue to accumulate.

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

If it keeps falling and piling up, we may not be able to hunt.

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

Why?"

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

A lot of snow can make it hard to move around."

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

I see.

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

I don't know about the snow I've experienced because it's about now, but if it piles up any more, it's going to be tough.

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

Should I give up hunting in the winter?

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

I've been thinking about the demons that can only be hunted during the snowy season.

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

Well, if it snows as much as it did yesterday, we can probably still trap them for a few more days, so let's do our best."

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

I nodded to the druid's words.

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

'Sola, Ciel. I'll go to the place where you set the trap~"

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

I call out to Sola and Ciel, who are happily buried in the snow.

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

Ciel is still in slime today.

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

She is not in the mood to be an adandara.

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

Flem and Sol refuse to get out of their bags.

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

Is it because they are cold or because they are a pain in the ass?

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

I'm sure it's the latter for both of them.

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

Zing zing. ......

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

As I was walking to the place where I had set the trap, I scrambled.

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

Because of the snow on the ground, I didn't notice the roots sticking out.

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

So I stumbled heavily.

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

Oh, my palm hurts.

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

How's the wound?　Does it still hurt?"

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

The potion healed the wound, so I'm fine. It's just a little zing from the impact.

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

Well, the potion doesn't do much to control those symptoms."

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

When I fell, I put my hand in front of my head, which was a good thing, but I was in the wrong place.

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

I could not see it because of the snow, but there was a root sticking out of the snow.

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

So I tore my glove and got a slightly deeper wound on my palm.

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

It healed quickly with a potion, but the impact left a lingering zing.

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

I opened and closed my hand many times, but it didn't go away.

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

Should I take another bottle of the potion?"

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

Don't worry, the wound has already healed nicely."

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

'But it still hurts, doesn't it?　Maybe I should carry a small amount of Sola's potion with me from now on. That potion might even eliminate the numbness of the shock."

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

Certainly if it was a potion of sola, it would have that effect.

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

'Mr. Druid. You're all right now."

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

I look at him and he is staring at my hand, quite worried.

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

And somewhat apologetic.

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

'Ivy, I still think we should transfer the potions of Sola and Flem into a small bottle and carry it with us in case something goes wrong. I'm sure they'll come in handy, huh?　Shall we?"

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

...... I agree." Yeah, one in each vial."

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

Mr. Druid looked relieved to hear my answer.

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

After all, he does seem to care.

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

I am sure he was trying to help me when I fell over.

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

But I couldn't get there in time because I had a load on my usable arm.

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

He looked a little stunned.

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

As for me, I don't need to worry about that.

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

It's usually my fault that I stumble.

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

But it seems that she still hasn't sorted it out.

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

"Druid, Dad!　Come on, let's get going. I can't wait to know the outcome of the trap!"

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

You can find me at ...... Oh, yes, I can." Let's go."

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

After some confusion, Mr. Druid laughs a little bitterly and starts to walk away.

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

My dad is a real worrier.

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

When we get to the place where we set the trap, I look around.

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

Mr. Druid chose a place where the snow was as low as possible, such as at the base of a tree.

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

Even so, several of the traps still seemed to be buried under the snow.

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

In the meantime, we check the nearby traps.

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

Ah!　Is this it?"

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

The first trap I saw contained a demon resembling a pure white hare.

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

The difference between it and the hare was its color and the fangs visible in its mouth.

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

Ah, here it is, a small demon known as a shusa. Watch out for the fangs. They bite."

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

Yeah.

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

Is it a demon called Siouxsah?

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

But still, it really is a wild rabbit by the looks of it.

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

The length of its ears, the size of its eyes.

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

Well, the hare didn't have fangs.

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

Anyway, I let it faint and put it in a bag.

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

I'm used to it!

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

When I checked all the traps, there were six Ciusa in all.

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

That's so-so results.

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

However, there was no demon called Hatsuri.

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

Too bad.

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

It's been a while since I've hunted with traps, but it's pretty interesting.

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

It's been a while?"

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

I had learned it from a senior adventurer when I first became an adventurer. So this is the second or third time?

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

Come to think of it, I heard that adventurers don't do much trap hunting.

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

I wonder why?

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

It is a very affordable hunt if you are good at it.

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

Why don't you trap hunts?

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

Hmmm, I think it probably used to be a thriving business, but before I knew it, sword hunting became the norm.

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

I see. If you were a novice adventurer, this would be an easy hunt for you.

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

I certainly do. Ahhh, but..."

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

Mr. Druid looks troubled.

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

He said, "Nowadays, not many adventurers know much about traps unless they are in the master's class. So there's no one to teach young adventurers."

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

What?　I see."

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

There is no one to teach you?

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

But hunting with traps is highly recommended for beginners, or rather, for those who have just become adventurers.

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

As long as you know how to set a trap properly, the prey will hook on to it on its own.

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

Now, shall we finish dismantling and return to the village?

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

Yes, I agree. It's a little tough to demolish at this time of year."

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

After all, it is cold.

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

We had to wash the meat in the river water, and that was the hardest part.

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

In the summer, it's a joyful task.

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

I can only wash the meat.

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

It's going to be the hardest part.

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

I'm fine.

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

Ciel guides me to the river.

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

Then the two of us start dismantling the pieces, which is pretty easy since all I have to do is dismantle them.

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

Is that okay?"

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

Mr. Druid brought the meat, which was washed at the end.

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

Perfect."

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

After wrapping it in a banana leaf, I put it in the magic bag.

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

This concludes our work for the day.

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

Now, I want to take a break, but I also want to sell some meat, so let's go, shall we?"

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

Yeah.

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

Oh, Sol's rice at the dump.

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

Can I come back again?

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

What's up?

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

I want to go to the dump for Sol's food, but first we need to go to the butcher shop, right?"

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

Eh, no. ......

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

Pfft. Pfft."

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

I hear muffled voices coming from the bag, as if they were listening to me.

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

A voice that sounds a little disapproving, but because it is small, it is charming.

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

Somehow we both laugh.

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

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."

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

I guess I had made him extra angry.

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

I'm sorry, Sol. I'll come back after I sell the meat, okay?"

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

Ivy?　Can't the dumping ground come first?"

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

What?

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

But the meat ...... Oh, yes.

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

I put it in the regular version of the magic bag, so the meat wouldn't spoil.

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

When I started my trip, I heard that the meat would rot even in the regular version, and I believed it, and I'm still stuck with it.

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

Sorry Sol. I totally forgot I was using the regular version of the magic bag."

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

Pe~"

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

I hear a little frustration in his voice.

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

I almost start laughing again at that, but I manage to suppress it.

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

Mr. Druid also seems to be holding back with his hand over his mouth.

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

I manage to suppress my laughter and head for the dumping ground.

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

It's easier with the regular version, isn't it?

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

Hmm?"　You mean the magic bag?"

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

Yes," he said. Until now, for the sake of freshness, I've been going to the butcher as soon as I've dismantled them."

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

I see...since they say time stopping is only available in the regular version."

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

Now that we no longer have to worry about meat, let's go to the dump and feed them.

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

While we're there, we need to make a decision about Sol's food.
