A few days after we left the port city, we were staying in one of the towns. Tomorrow we were going to climb a mountain where there was a bear peddler's village.
This town was the closest to the village and our last stop. It seems that if you leave in the morning, you can get there in the evening, and thanks to Queen and Cruz's help, you can get there in less than half the time than it would take to get there by carriage.
Fortunately, we were far enough away from the royal capital and the port city that the queens were able to stay at an inn, so the journey was reasonably satisfactory.

Tomorrow, the wolf car we've been riding on will be on foot, as the old man will have to put it away. I could have put them in my item box, but I'm still only showing my grandfather his magic for storage items, so I'll put them there.
To be honest, I'm a little worried that Queen and Cruz won't be able to climb the mountain quietly.


And the next day, as I expected, or rather, as we entered the mountain, Queen couldn't stand it any longer and ran off the mountain path and into the forest.

'Oh, that's not fair! I'll go with you!

We continued into the forest. According to the bear peddler, there are not many monsters in this mountain, so we don't have to worry about it so much.

Phooey.
Meow.

Up in the sky, Pichan and the others were alerting and hunting for me.

'Not at all, Cruz is so restless.

Ilya is dumbfounded by Cruz-kun, but if you look closely, Ilya is itching too?

Hey, buddy, I want to come too!
(chuckles)....

Oh my gosh, it looks like my sister and Sakuya want to go to the forest too. Come to think of it, I've been traveling a lot lately and haven't been able to go to the forest, I wonder if she misses the dragon forest?

Do you mind if we take a quick detour?
Yeah, they're walking better than I thought they would, so they should be OK for a bit.

After checking with the bear peddler, we all decided to take a little walk in the forest.

Onii-chan, there's a yakuso!
I've got some mushrooms over here...

It's already been a month since we left for the trip, but it seems that my skills in the forest have not decreased. As expected, it is not as good as the forest of the dragon, but it knows how to find food and medicinal plants one after another. I'm looking for magic, but I can't find anything to worry about, so maybe there are no monsters.

After a while, the queen came back with a deer and Cruz came back with a boar.

''Which one is bigger!''

Mr. Cruz asked everyone, and we were all in agreement.

''Pee-chan,''

Before we knew it, Pee-chan and Seacat were hunting birds and rabbits like a mountain. We should be careful not to hunt too much, because it may cause trouble for the locals, and it's not good to destroy the ecosystem.

It is a large amount of catch, but indeed there is no time to dismantle it, so we asked the old man to put it away as a souvenir to the village.
It took some time, but somehow our speed increased because of the change of pace, and we arrived at the village of the bear peddlers before nightfall as planned.
