I leave the commercial guild and stand tall.

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

I've already been to the Commercial Guild many times to sell, but every time I get nervous.

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

I wonder if one day I'll get used to it.

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

Are you tired?

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

'N~a little bit. It was just as your father said. Lisco was expensive.

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

Yes, it was. But you said they were cheaper than usual.

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

As his father had told us, lisco was a high-end fruit.

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

However, it seems that there was a good harvest in the forest from last year to this year, so it was sold at a lower price than usual.

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

But the price was still high enough.

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

Well, the place where lisco grows wild is deep in the forest.

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

There are many strong demons deep in the forest, which reduces the number of harvests.

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

Therefore, it is not about the taste, etc., but everything deep in the forest becomes a high price trade.

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

We head for the gate, looking at the stores on the main street.

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

Do you want to get some lunch?

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

Yes. Let's do that.

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

We've got quite a bit of time to spare.

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

Indeed, Lisco had expected to be able to trade at a high price, but there was one thing that was unexpectedly expensive.

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

That was the nuts harvested deep in the forests of the village of Hatahi.

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

His father and I both harvested them, thinking they were nuts that grow in ordinary forests.

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

However, it seems that what we brought was a very rare nut that looks very similar but is used as a medicine.

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

He sold them for 20 times the price he had expected.

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

Moreover, I had thought they were ordinary nuts, so I had brought a lot of them.

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

What do you want to eat?

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

I want to eat bread. I haven't had white bread in a long time.

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

I understand. Let's buy something else that will be a side dish.

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

We headed for the gate, looking at the food stalls.

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

On the way there, we found the meat on skewers that my father had requested, and the "sundried fish" that I had requested.

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

In this village, too, there was a "sandoido" made of white bread, similar to a sandwich.

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

"Hmm?　What is that?

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

The father stopped and stared at the gate.

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

Following his gaze, he saw more than ten adventurers gathered there.

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

Maybe it's a survey party.

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

The gatekeeper had told me that there would be a survey party tomorrow or so.

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

I looked at the group of adventurers gathered there.

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

All of them were fathers, and there were no young people among them.

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

And there were not that many of them.

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

Is it okay for the number to be small since it is a survey team?

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

But I think it's dangerous because we are going to investigate something unusual.

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

The survey team is small in number, isn't it?

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

Yeah, there are a little too few. And from the looks of it, it seems to be made up of only high-ranking adventurers.

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

That's amazing, you can tell just by looking at them.

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

How can you tell who are the top adventurers?

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

"Well, the weapons they carry, their physical appearance. And then there's the atmosphere. I guess it's an overall impression. Sorry, it's hard to explain.

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

The atmosphere that they have built up through their experience?

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

Something like that.

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

I hope you can figure it out.

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

We watched the adventurers leave through the gate into the forest.

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

I hope the investigation is over and we find out everything is okay.

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

Shall we go?

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

We greeted the gatekeeper and went into the forest.

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

Today's gatekeeper was different from the one who helped us yesterday.

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

He seemed a bit brusque.

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

The gatekeeper of yesterday's visit had a refreshing impression, which was the complete opposite of my impression of him.

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

Now, I wonder which way is the dumping ground.

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

The father stepped out of the gate and stared at the ground.

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

When we go to the dump, we often use a cart, so if we can find the tracks of the cart, we can quickly find the dump site.

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

Although it is often difficult to see due to young leaves and fallen leaves, the area around the gate in this village is sandy.

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

Perhaps you can find it.

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

"There it is. That way."

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

I start walking in the direction my father indicated.

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

Do you feel anything?

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

I ask my father, who is looking into the forest.

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

He looks at me and shakes his head.

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

No, I don't feel anything. It was creepy, even if it was just my imagination.

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

I don't think it was just my imagination. The top adventurers in this village felt it, too.

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

He put his hand on my head.

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

I guess so," he said. But I think it's better if it's just my imagination.

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

I'm sure that's true, but...

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

Hm?

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

Wow.

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

This is kind of awful."

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

The dumping ground that I saw after a while as I followed the trail of the cart toward the dumping ground.

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

I was a little taken back by its condition.

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

Every village and town had some degree of control over the dumping ground.

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

This was to make it easier for tamers to do their work.

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

However, the dumping ground in front of us did not seem to be managed at all.

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

Therefore, it is a mess.

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

Especially dangerous are magic items and swords.

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

Even if you think you have used up all your magic items, there is still a small amount of magic power left in them.

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

Therefore, you need to be careful when you throw them away.

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

In this village, magic items are thrown around in the dumping ground in a messy manner.

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

Moreover, the items were piled up so high that it looked like an avalanche was about to break out, as if people were throwing them away one after another without paying attention.

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

That's dangerous."

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

I nodded at my father's words.

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

This is a bit of a problem.

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

The garbage could come crashing down on them while Sola and the others were eating.

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

What should we do?"

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

We can collect the potions for Sola and the others, but what about Sol?　We could bring the magic items out of the dump, but then Sol wouldn't be able to eat as much as he wants, would he?

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

Sol's not going to be able to eat as much as he'd like. Yes, I want him to eat as much as he can.

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

Kara-kara-kara.

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

Looking at the pile of trash, every time a strong wind blows, small pieces of trash roll around.

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

I knew it was dangerous.

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

Should we ask Sora and the others?

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

"Yes, I guess so. Wait a minute.

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

I opened the lid of the bag that held Sora and the others.

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

Soon after, Sola and her friends came out of the bag and happily jumped around us.

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

Sola, Flem, Sol. We're at the dump and there's an avalanche of garbage. Do you want to come in and have a meal?"

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

At my words, the three animals turn their attention to the dump.

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

They stare at the dump.

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

Are they maybe frozen because the dump is in such a bad condition?

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

If there seems to be a problem, my father and I will bring the garbage outside the dump.

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

Don't worry, we'll bring a lot."

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

Hearing what my father and I said, the three animals jumped toward the dumping ground with a peep.

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

Does this mean they're going to eat it themselves?

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

I tilt my head and stare at the three animals.

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

Sola squeals, and Flem and Sol continue to squeal as they enter the dumping ground.

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

'Do you think they'll be all right?

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

'N~, I'll keep an eye out so we don't lose them.

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

I nod at my father's words and approach the dumping ground.

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

I nod to my father's words and approach the dumping ground, ready to deal with any problems that may arise.

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

I thought the forest was well managed since there were no illegal dumps in the forest, but this is not the only place I've seen.

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

But it's not the same here. 'So, tamers from this village come to this dumping ground to do their work, right?

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

I'm sure they do."

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

Dad furrows his brow.

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

I feel a little bad too.

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

I'm a little uncomfortable, too, because I can't believe I'm letting one of my best friends work in a dangerous place like this.

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

All it takes is a little organization."

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

Perhaps all the tamers in this village don't value the demons they tame?

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

I heard about the tamers in the village of Hatahi and learned that there are more people who don't value them.

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

It kind of made me sad.

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

I hope they get the message that it's wrong soon."

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

I look at Sola and the others.

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

Their wobbly bodies are swaying on the garbage, and to be honest, I'm scared.

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

But I was heartened to see the three of them looking somewhat happy.

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

"They're starting to have fun, aren't they?"

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

I stare at them.

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

They are indeed swinging happily on the unstable trash.

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

We're worried about them.

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

"Well, they're Sola and the others."

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

I'm not sure I'm the only one who can agree with that.

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

It's dangerous. Be careful!

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

"Tekkkuriu~!"

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

Pfft!

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

Don't jump around in there!

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

Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

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

My father laughed out loud at my shouts.

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

The three animals were happily eating while dodging the falling garbage.

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

Did I need to worry?

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