The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

The Fortune Teller is kind

It's morning.

No one came to wake me up.

It's been a few days since that shocking event. I've already given up. It seems like my older brother and sister already know the story.

"You've troubled our parents" They told me.

Is it my fault? I don't know anymore.

For now, the 5-years-old me needs to build more physical strength. I think physical strength is the most important thing needed to escape. As well as the technique to find things to eat in the forest.

It's hard for me because I can't ask anyone about it. The only thing I know i need to do is.... that I have to build up my physical strength.

I'm running through the forest. I thought that I could raise my physical strength by running. It's my first time doing it. I'll just follow what my heart says.

I have been looking for larger nuts since this morning, but I can't find any. I gradually got used to running around the forest alone every day. I feel like my physical strength is rising a bit.

...Maybe it's just my feeling.

......

My consciousness suddenly fades away......Eh? I seem to be tired and sleepy. 

When I awaken and look to my side, I stiffen. There's an elderly woman sitting down.

When our line of sight meets, she narrows her eyes and smiles. I remember that smile. This person is the fortune teller who lives in the village. She always has a gentle smile, and gives helpful advice to all the villagers.

"Hello" she says.

".....yes, hello" I respond.

The Fortune Teller is talking to me. I wonder why my heart beats are getting louder.

In the last few days, my story became known to the villagers. Since then, no one has spoken to or looked at me.

"What is it?" I ask.

The Fortune Teller looks at me and begins to speak in a quiet voice.

"My fortune telling foresaw the future. Since I'm only a 1 star, I can only see a little bit ahead. Just before you got here, I foresaw your situation and that you're confused about something. But I can't see the cause."

".....I see"

There are many things to think about, but the Fortune Teller doesn't seem like a bad person.

My current situation is ... I don't think it can be helped in this world.

As I was saying before, It's the same everywhere that excludes those who don't understand. I can understand it a little, but I can't accept it.

"Here's a present"

She hands me a bag.

I was confused, but I took it and looked inside.

It contains more than what it seems to.

"This is a degraded version of a magic bag. I put various things inside. I'm sure it's what you'll need from now on."

I turn the bag upside down.

Really, many things came out.

There are several books on how to identify food and poisonous plants, Potions ... There are several, but they all have different colors. There's a small knife too.

I look at the Fortune Teller.

"Deteriorated versions are often disposed of, so you can get them easily. A regular magic bag has a time stop, but you need a lot of money to get it. The potions are also a lower version. The effect is not that good, but regular potions are quite expensive so children usually can't buy one... I think that a degraded version is necessary if one is going to live alone."

I think she is a very kind person.There was no problem even if she didn't do this for me.

"Thank you very much"
