Before leaving the commercial guild, I get a special paper for faxing.

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

I had informed them in my last fax that I would contact them when I arrived at the village of Hattahi.

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

I arrived at the village earlier than planned and have plenty of time to spare, but it is better to send it before I forget.

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

If I forget, I will cause them to worry.

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

I feel a warm breeze as I leave the commercial guild.

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

It's warm.

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

Yes," he said. It's spring~!

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

Haha, it's spring. Well, let's go check out this village dump, 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

It's important to confirm the location because of Sol's meals.

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

The rest can be found at .......

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

Can we hunt around this village?"

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

That's not a problem. But as I recall, there are no hares around here.

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

No?"

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

I have the impression they are everywhere.

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

Oh, there are no more hares around here. When you get a little closer to the capital, the field mice will disappear as well.

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

A bit of a shock.

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

We were trying to make money and get by with these two types of animals.

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

Ignorance is scary.

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

I need to learn a lot more.

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

What's that?　If that's the case, then there's no dried meat in King's Landing?"

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

No, instead, dried meat made from a demon called a novea is popular."

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

The demon novea?

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

Different places have different ingredients for dried meat?

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

Is it possible for me to hunt novea?

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

But these noveas are a little more ferocious. That's why dried meat is more expensive here than in the surrounding area.

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

So they are ferocious.

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

I guess I can't hunt.

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

If there were no hares, would there be only field mice around here?

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

No, field mice and pygmy foxes should be huntable in the area with traps."

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

Obitsune?"

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

Yeah, it's a demon that can do a little magic, but it's not very strong, so it shouldn't be a problem."

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

A demon that can use magic?

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

Well, is that really okay with me?

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

I can't do any offensive magic at all.

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

I'll be fine. Obitsune can only use lightning magic that gives off a tingling sensation.

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

If it's just a tingle, I guess it's OK.

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

I mean, if I can hunt an obitsune, it will be the first time I have hunted a demon.

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

If the druid says it's okay, then it must be okay.

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

I'm starting to look forward to it.

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

But what kind of traps should we use?

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

Since I started trapping with Mr. Druid, the traps have evolved a lot, haven't they?

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

The thickness of the rope, the way it is hidden, the strength of the net, etc. are totally different from when I was alone.

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

The claws of the obitsune are not that strong, so the rope doesn't have to be as thick. Is there any chance of escaping by magic?　Hmmm... I don't think you have to worry about them breaking the basket with that kind of power. ......"

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

I look at Mr. Druid walking next to me.

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

If I were as powerful as he is, I would be able to hunt a lot more by other methods than by trapping.

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

And yet, he seems to enjoy making traps, thinking of various ways to set them, and then happily going to see the results.

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

In the beginning, I could see that he was confused, so I thought he must be trying to accommodate me.

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

I felt sorry for that. ......

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

I thought to myself, "No, the lightning may be small, but if it is repeated enough times, the strength of the cage will weaken. I still think the cage needs to be reinforced. The question is what kind of thing to use to make it stronger. If it is lightning, there is a possibility of small sparks. Hmmm, what would be good?"

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

Now that confusion is gone and he's really enjoying it.

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

I wonder what set him off so much?

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

Hmm?"　What's wrong?"

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

It's nothing. Are you going to use the obits as a cage trap?"

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

Yeah, that's the plan. They're about three times the size of a wild rabbit, so we'll need a slightly larger cage."

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

Three times as many as a wild rabbit?

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

Is it that big?

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

Mr. Druid will one day say something about hunting larger prey with a trap.

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

The other day I looked at him because he was seriously reading a book on how to hunt, and it was a page on large traps.

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

Where is he going with this?

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

I'm a little nervous.

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

Let's try not to go after too big a prey, okay?"

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

If it's just an obitsune, we'll be fine now."

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

Huh?

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

Now that's a response to, let's see, .......

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

Now we?

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

Well, I guess I'll be okay.

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

I'll get used to it. Next time.

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

Maybe it's not okay.

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

Glancing next to me.

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

I don't know what he's thinking, but he looks like he's having fun.

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

I may not be able to stop .......

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

I go through the gate and walk around the forest looking for a dumping ground.

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

There isn't one."

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

I look around but don't see anything that looks like a dumping ground.

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

Besides, the place where we are now is too far from the village.

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

Maybe we're going in the wrong direction.

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

Yeah, there was a fork in the road, so maybe it was that way?"

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

Let's go.

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

Oh, wait. I want to let Sola and the others out of the bag."

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

Search for signs of the surroundings.

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

There is no sign of anyone around here.

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

It seems to be all right.

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

Sorry I'm late.

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

Sola and Ciel pop out when I open the bag.

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

Flem also seemed to be awake today and jumped out of the bag.

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

I don't see Sol. Is he still sleeping?"

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

I look into the bag and my eyes meet Sol's.

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

He was awake, but his eyes still looked sleepy.

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

I'll wake you when we get to the dump, so you can go back to sleep.

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

"Phew."

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

Sol squeals a few words and closes his eyes.

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

I fell asleep.

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

He closes the bag and looks at Sola and the others.

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

'Ciel, do you know where the dump is?

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

Nyaun."

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

Ciel quickly returns to Adandara and turns back the way he just came.

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

It seems that we were on the wrong road after all.

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

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road where they had been lost.

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

He thought he was going the other way, but instead he went straight to the road approaching the village.

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

It seemed we were in the wrong place at all.

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

That's the first time I haven't predicted it.

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

I guess so."

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

As the village approaches, they turn off the road and walk through the woods.

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

Then, after walking for a while, we saw a place that looked like a dumping ground.

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

It seemed that the dumping ground had really been built in the opposite direction of where we had expected it to be.

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

And it was close to the village.

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

Thank you, Ciel.

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

My tail wagged as I thanked Ciel.

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

The dumping ground here is kind of organized.

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

'Yes, I suppose so. I guess the dumping ground is well kept.''

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

Sol, wake up. We're at the dump.

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

Take the sol out of the bag.

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

He looked around to check the dumping ground and rolled briskly away.

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

I think it's time to jump up and move on.

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

'Now, the basket. How shall we add strength to it?"

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

Mr. Druid also looked happy as he headed for the dumping ground.

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

Having fun is surely a good thing.

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

Nyaun?"

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

Ciel, thank you."

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

I slowly stroked his head and he rubbed his head against my hand.

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

That's really cute.

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

'Well, I think I'll go pick up what I need.

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

I look at the dumping ground.

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

A large amount of black magic is floating around Sol.

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

A short distance away from Sol, I see Sola eating a sword.

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

Nearby is Flem, who seems to be quietly eating a potion today.

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

And then there is Mr. Druid, wandering around the dumping ground with a basket.

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

'Free, isn't he?

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

Nyaun."

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

I lightly pat Ciel on the head before entering the dumping ground.

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

I pick out the items I need, paying attention to my surroundings.

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

It took me a little while to make my selection as I consulted with the druid on the strength of the basket.

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

Nyaun."

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

At the sound of Ciel's voice, I searched the surrounding area for signs that he was approaching us.

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

I look around.

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

It seemed that Sol had already finished his meal.

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

Come here a little bit, everyone. Someone is coming.

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

There were three in number at the sign of people.

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

Probably on patrol.

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

Ppppp~"

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

TERU-ryu~!"

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

Sola and Flem come back with a peep and put them in the bag.

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

I pick up Sol, who was on his way, and put him in the bag.

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

Nyaun."

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

Ciel changed into a slime when he came by and I put him in the bag.

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

The druid checks to see if Sola or Flem left anything behind.

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

I'm fine," he said. I didn't find anything.

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

I leave the dumping ground with the druid and the necessary items.

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

He said, "Huh?　Are you a traveler?"

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

As soon as I left the dump, I heard a man's voice.

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

I looked over and saw three men dressed as neighborhood watchmen from the village of Hattahi.

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

'Yes, sir. We are the only ones here?　Is something wrong?"

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

No, I thought I sensed a great deal of magic around here."

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

My heart skips a beat, but I manage to mend my expression.

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

No, we were the only ones there.

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

I see. What are you doing?"

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

We were setting up a trap, so we had to get what we needed.

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

At the druid's words, the vigilantes look at him strangely.

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

We make traps out of baskets and hunt them."

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

When Mr. Druid explained the situation, the three of them looked impressed.

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

Apparently, they are not familiar with traps at all.

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

They also hunt quite interestingly, don't they?

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

One of the vigilantes says, and the other two nod.

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

It's interesting. It's nice when a prey is caught in a trap you made.

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

Well, we're going back to the village. After you.

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

I'm sure you'll be fine, but be careful of the magic I just felt.

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

I bow lightly to the three vigilantes and head for the village.

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

We walk in silence for a while, and when we reach a place where they are out of sight, we let out a small breath.

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

The dump site is too close to the village.

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

Considering the distance between the village and the dumping ground so far, probably about half.

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

Therefore, if they leave the village and come directly to the dump site, there will be a rush to hide Sora and the others.

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

We have to be careful.

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

Oh," he said. I'll see what I can do about it.
