'It's getting a little cooler. Is Ivy okay?"

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

Dad looks at me with concern.

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

I smiled and nodded.

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

Ivy nodded, "I'm fine. I'm wearing an extra layer from today.

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

It was the time of year when I could feel the slightest hint of coolness when the wind blew.

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

According to Mr. Ur, we would be able to reach our destination village, Ocanco, in about three days.

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

That is, if Urs is right about the location he predicted on the map.

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

Look!　I found a fruit!"

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

Ars-san's happy voice made me look around and I saw a reddish-black fruit about 5 cm in diameter, which was bountifully bearing fruit.

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

I was sure that there were several kinds of fruits similar to that one, and some of them were poisonous.

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

Where was I supposed to check?

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

I'm pretty sure I've read the ...... book on poisonous fruits and the book on edible fruits, because it has a lot of details.

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

Um, ...... the leaves!

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

Yes, I was supposed to look at the veins of the leaves.

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

'Ars, wait!　Think calmly."

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

I know. But this fruit was in the book of edible fruits, so it's okay.

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

Ars-san said strongly to Gallus-san's words.

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

Mr. Gallus exhales a sigh at that.

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

He sighs and says, "It was also listed in the book of poisonous fruits, wasn't it?"

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

Mr. Ebus looks at Mr. Ars with a puzzled expression.

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

I wonder if it was."

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

Mr. Ebus looks at her with a disappointed expression.

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

And a little, unfaithful Mr. Ars.

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

Mr. Ebus let out a sigh and took out a book and handed it to Ms. Ars.

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

'I guess it wouldn't hurt if Ebus checks it out, would it?

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

'Since Ars found it first, Ars should check it.

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

Mr. Ars and Mr. Ebus glared at each other.

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

I've noticed that in our travels together, the two of them argue a lot.

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

Most of them are small things, but they really do it day in and day out.

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

According to Mr. Gallus, the two are not honest.

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

'They argue because they are honest, right?' I asked my father, and he smiled and patted me on the head.

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

And he didn't answer my question back.

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

We need to find out as soon as possible."

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

At Urs' words, Ars let out a sigh and turned the pages.

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

He found the page he was looking for and started to check the shape of the fruit and leaves.

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

The leaves look different from the poisonous fruit.

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

Hmm?

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

I looked at Mr. Ebus and saw that he was looking at a book on poisonous fruits.

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

Were the two of us going to split up and check it out?

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

If so, why didn't he just say so from the beginning?

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

Oh, Ars-san thought so, too, and he is staring at Ebus-san in dissatisfaction.

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

Huh, their relationship is interesting to watch.

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

So, which is it?

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

'I think it's the edible fruit. The fruit on the poison one has different leaves.

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

Mr. Gallus looked at the book Ebus was holding and nodded.

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

I think this is it."

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

Mr. Ars opens the book of edible fruits and shows a page to Mr. Gallus and Mr. Ebus.

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

Mr. Gallus nodded and looked at Urs.

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

It is an edible fruit.

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

'Correct. There are five similar fruits, three of which are edible. It is the leaves that are poisonous or not. The poisonous fruit has black veins. The non-poisonous ones have green veins."

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

I was relieved by Ur's explanation.

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

Thank God, I was right.

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

I'm so glad. That's ten correct answers in a row, right?"

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

At Mr. Ars' words, Mr. Gallus and Mr. Ebus showed their relief.

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

Because this was a task given by Mr. Urs.

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

Mr. Ur, who felt threatened by the low level of poison knowledge of Mr. Gallus and his friends, asked them to judge whether or not a fruit was poisonous when they found it.

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

If they did not answer correctly 10 times in a row, they would be punished by having to peruse a book written about poisons.

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

The three of them have already reread the book three times and are seriously relieved that they got it right.

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

'Well, the fruit is easy.'

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

The three of us are stunned by Mr. Ur's words.

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

Indeed, I guess fruits are relatively easy to understand.

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

The easiest to mistake are medicinal herbs.

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

Some of these are really hard to tell apart.

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

I still have to pull out my book to check.

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

The next one is medicinal herbs. "The next one is medicinal herbs," he said. Ten correct answers in a row and you pass.

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

I couldn't help but laugh at Ars-san, whose expression turned somber at Urs-san's words.

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

There are eleven books written about poisons, including those owned by Mr. Ul and his father.

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

Sure, it's a bit of a challenge to read them all over again.

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

But I wish you the best of luck, because that knowledge will eventually help you.

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

We harvest the fruit and take a short break.

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

They're sweet."

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

Yes, it is."

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

...... No, Sola didn't eat it, did she?

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

When I look at him, he is eating the sword for some reason.

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

'Eh. From where?"

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

When I looked at Ciel's meow, I saw that he had three swords in his mouth.

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 stare at Ciel silently with my father.

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

Where did he get them from?

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 looks deep into the forest.

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

Maybe he told me it was in the direction I looked.

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

'Ur. Looks like there's an unjust dump nearby. I'll check it out.

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

Ciel looks at me. Really?"

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

Mr. Ur comes closer, looking surprised.

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

He looked at Sola, who was eating a sword, and nodded.

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

Ciel seems to have found it.

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

'All right, the three of us need to rest, so we'll stay here. Where's Ivy?"

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

'I'll go check with your father.'

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

Ur nodded and went to explain to Gallus and the others.

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

Ciel led the way through the forest.

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

We walked about ten minutes away from the place where we had harvested the fruit, and then we saw a dumping ground.

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

I didn't expect to find it in a place like this.

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

Seeing so many magic items being thrown away, the father let out a sigh.

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

'It seems no one comes here to throw them out now.

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

From the fallen leaves on top of the trash, I could tell that it had been abandoned for a while.

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

He looks at his father and says, "Yes, it has been.

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

Is there a place around here where adventurers gather?"

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

Dumps tend to form in places where adventurers gather.

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

The fact that a dump was built here meant that there was something nearby for adventurers to congregate.

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

"Around here?"

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

He looked around with his father.

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

We looked through the trees one by one to make sure there was nothing in particular that would attract adventurers.

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

There's nothing here, is there?

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

Nothing, right? Nothing, right?

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

He tilts his head, wondering if his father can't find it either.

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

"Ppppppp~!"

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

"Tee-hee-ryooo!"

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

I search for signs of Sola and the others who came with me, watching as they happily begin to eat.

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

I delicately examine my surroundings so as not to miss any hidden signs.

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

I feel like I've caught something.

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

What's wrong?"

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

My father noticed my condition and put his hand on the sword.

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

It's okay," he said. It doesn't look like it's going to attack me.

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

But I'm curious.

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

Which direction is it?

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

Let's see... ......, a little further into the woods, I think.

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

Want to go take a look?

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

"Yeah. Is that okay?"

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

Something is bothering me.

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

The sign itself is very weak, so you may not need to worry about it.

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

While watching Sora and the others, I headed deeper into the forest to look for the sign I found.

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

As soon as we went just a little deeper into the forest, the true nature of the presence was revealed.

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

A rock?"

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

Ahead of our gaze was an uneven, oval-shaped gray rock.

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

It was about 50 cm in diameter.

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

There was a large crack in the center of the rock.

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

Is this what the signs are?"

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

As I gently reached out my hand toward the rock, the presence I had felt earlier became stronger.

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

It seems so."

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

When I moved closer to the rock, the presence was weak, and the rock itself did not seem frightening.

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

The actuality that the actual rock itself is not scary.

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

I think I have felt something similar to this presence somewhere.

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

Where was it?
