The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

My first Journey is Hard!

My current goal is to go to Otorwa Town. It's the closest town to Ratomi Village.

There are several villages up till Otorwa, but there are peddlers trading with Ratomi Village so I don't plan to stay long. They won't bother searching for me this far, but I'm still worried. Just thinking about getting caught irritates me.

There is a road connecting each village. However, because I don't want to be seen as much as possible, I walk on the animal path near the village road.

----------

This is bad! I desperately moved my legs. I needed to run quicker even if it's only slightly faster. There's a rumbling sound coming from behind me.

I don't have the leeway to see what's chasing after me. What I do understand is that...if I stop I'll die!

What do I do, what should I do?! Ummmm, in this case, let's escape to the top of a tree

...There are no trees to climb!

Next is...... oh no, not good. It's catching up!

AH! Tree discovered!

I'll absolutely make it there! I run desperately like I could die any minute, and climb the tree frantically.

I did it..... I'm saved~

My body is covered in sweat. I'm glad it's not a monster that can climb trees. I might have let my guard down a little after leaving the village. If I'm not more careful the forest might become deadly.

Let's stop here for the day and take a rest. I'm tired and I can't move my body. Anyway, I wonder what was chasing me?

......Haah. I'm worried about the future.

----------

I was scared, and I didn't sleep much. It can't be helped. For now, let's just get down from the tree.

Eh? So high!

I was surprised after checking where I was. It seems that I had climbed up to the very top of a very tall and big tree.

...I'm afraid to go down.

-----------

I got a lot of scratches and cuts, but I was able to get down.....that's a relief. I used four degraded potions to heal my wounds. These potions seemed to have deteriorated a little too much.

I look at the village road. After a little thought, I decided to follow the animal path. This time, I proceed with caution. My pace might slow down, but my life is more important.

I walk while gnawing on dried meat. I'm a nit worried that the smell might attract monsters, but I can't help it, I'm hungry.

-----------

I was chased many times, but I was able to escape every time. My injuries are increasing, but none of them seem fatal.

There seems to be more ferocious animals and monsters in the forest than I had imagined. There's no choice but to become aware of their presence quickly.

On the eighth day, I was able to arrive at a place where I could hear crowds of people. It seems that I finally arrived at the vicinity of the neighboring village.

However, since I have decided to avoid it, I will go around the village. I went a little ways around so that I couldn't be seen from the village, and found myself in a wide place.

This is a garbage dump. I look at the garbage while paying attention to the presence of people and monsters.

There's a magic bag. It's a degraded version, but I definitely want it.

I found ten magic bags that were thrown away. I'd like to take it all, but it will only be a burden.

After looking at the garbage for a while, I felt the presence of people coming closer. There's a rock close by, so I hide behind it to see what's going on.

"Hurry it up!"

"I know!"

There was a clattering noise, and after a while their presence went away. It was a child's voice, it seems they came to throw away something.

I'm glad, they didn't notice me.

The new thing that got thrown away seems to be a potion. I put some potions into a bag that is hung over my shoulder. I was troubled by the weight of it all, but I decided to bring the ten magic bags with me.
