The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Illegal Dumping

The man takes out trash from his magic bags and lets the slime dispose of it.

...He looks like an adventurer from afar.

When I checked for presence around me, I felt a large number of presences at a distance. The presence was so small that I didn't notice it at first. It may be a team of high ranking adventurers.

I quietly move away in the opposite direction from them. When I return to the animal path, I breathe out a sigh of relief.

I was so nervous.

In the depths of the forest a little farther ahead, there are signs of the adventurers. That said, it is quite small and difficult to track. I managed to feel their presence and see if they were coming to my direction.

......It seems they didn't, what a relief.

Perhaps they notice my presence, but aren't interested. It's the first time I've ever seen an adventurer with such a small presence. It's a little scary.

I take a deep breath and walk towards the next village. I stop several times to check for any presence near me. There are various presences, but none are hostile.

I can no longer feel the presence of the team of adventurers. If they deliberately hid their presence, I wouldn't be able to find them, but it's probably fine.

I walk while avoiding monsters and animals. Since I have never seen an accurate map, I do not know the distance to the next village. For the time being, I choose a path that doesn't stray too far from the village road

I'm four days away from arriving at the next village. This is weird. There's a garbage dump in front of me, but there are no villages around.

I heard that a dump is always near a village.

I look at the things that have been thrown away. A discolored potion, a broken bottle, a broken sword, and possibly a broken magic bag.

What I know is, is that there are more broken things here than in the dump in the previous village. Perhaps it's been abandoned by adventurers? I've heard about it, but this is the first time I've seen it.

Looking at the trash, there seems to be nothing of worth.

I take out the trash that I had planned to dispose of out my magic bags. For some reason I have an unpleasant feeling, let's just not throw it away here.

I can always throw it away in a village, so I won't do it here. There is also a slime to process it in the village. But there's not enough slimes.

Two star tamers can tame up to five slimes per person. There's only a few who do it, I heard that most people only tame two. The amount that can be processed in one day varies depending on the type of slime.

I heard that the capital and towns are hiring many tamers. Villages can give money to a town to process it, but most villages can't afford it. Therefore, there's an illegal garbage dump. I understand, but i can't overlook it.

I heard that things in the forest are abandoned by adventurers. Adventurer's team must always have a tamer with a slime in their team. This seems to have been decided by law.

You can throw away things that your slime can't handle in a dedicated place. But the reality is the illegal dump in front of me.

Since the broken things became a burden, they will be left in the forest. Few adventurer teams have slimes to handle inorganic matter.

At least S ranked teams have one, the Fortune Teller said so to me.

It doesn't matter if I throw it away, but I stopped. Somehow, I feel like it was a bad thing to do. I wonder if this is the one called [Illegal Dumping].

...Let's continue to the village and throw it away in the village garbage dump.
