The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Chapter 16

Looking at Sora who is trembling in front of me makes me feel relief. I am glad that he didn't disappear, but then I remembered what was written in the book. It said that crumbling slime only lasts one day.

Will Sora disappear tomorrow?

When I felt uneasy and looked at Sora, he also looked at me. For some reason we looked at each other for a few minutes.

...I wonder what Sora is doing?

Once again, let's check the book about Sora.

[Rare slimes, which are said to be the weakest slime, have been seen to disappear after a day].

However, it was also written that [There are many unknown things about this slime].

.....In other words, you mean that you don't know anything?

If that's the case, I'll believe it will be okay. Even though we have just become friends, it would be just too sad if sora were to disappear.

...I'm sure It will be okay.

Sora began to tremble while staring at me. I feel like he tried to say something..... I don't know. It was written that you can communicate with monsters that are tamed.

...I'm sorry~ I don't understand.

I gently lift Sora and turn toward the village road to head for the village. I can't stay here forever. While going to the village, I think about what to do in the future. When my excitement calmed down, I realized that there was a problem. The book says that crumbling slime is too weak to be tamed. What would people think, if they see him?

...For now, i won't let anyone see Sora.

Sora looks different from an ordinary slime, so there is a high probability that he will be found out.

...Maybe my new friend is full of problems?

--------

I stopped walking. I felt like I could hear people. If I listen closely, I can hear several people speaking. Apparently, the village is close by. I was too late to be able to hear more than that. I was distracted by other things. I have to be careful noticing presences though.

I looked at Sora in my arms. What should I do? I can't leave him in the forest.

As I approached the village feeling worried I found that the people were coming closer. I frantically put Sora in a magic bag. Soon, three adventurers emerge from the forest. They must have been hunting, one of them has a big snake in his hand. For some reason, they seem to be headed toward Ratto village in a rush because they didn't dismantle the snake.

I walk slowly and wait for them to disappear. There's a moment of relief before I realize something.

"Ah, I put Sora in the magic bag!!!"

I hurry to look for Sora in the magic bag. I have heard that you can't put creatures in either the regular version or the degraded one.

If you try to put it in, it will be thrown back out.

I have looked around, but I can't see Sora's figure.

...Could it be, he disappeared?

Leaving the village road and in a hurry, I enter the forest and check the surroundings to make sure there is no presence around. I put the bag on a fallen tree and take a deep breath and put my hands in the magic bag and look for Sora. Soon I feel a cold thing touch my hand.

...I'm glad.

When I pull out my hand, Sora trembles. Haaa~, I lose power from my whole body and drop down on the spot.

Somehow Sora seems to be safe to put in the magic bag. Maybe there was a function that made it possible in the degraded version, but it's just not known.

Ah, that's right!

If I put Sora in the bag, I can keep him and other people won't notice. Although I know it's a big coincidence, this solves the problem.

"I'm sorry, Sora. For putting you in the trash bag."

That's right, the bag where I put sora in that moment was in the bag for trash. If I recall, the bag only contains discolored potions and torn clothes.

"I'm really sorry"
