The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Chapter 17

This time, when I moved through the forest to go to Ratto village, I found the village dump. This is perfect, I can throw away the things I don't need. When I got there, the temperature was higher so the color of the potions will change quickly. Especially the color of the healing and pain alleviation potion that is often changed.

I Place Sora near a rock that can be seen from the dump and step inside. Then I go to take out the trash from a magic bag.

".....Eh?"

I can't seem to find the blue potions among the trash. The muddy white and black discolored potions are still there, but... I turn the magic bag upside down but nothing comes out. I look inside the bag and put my hand in it, but there's still nothing in it. Blue potion is a potion to heal wounds but by the time that I got here, many had discolored.

"That's weird"

I check the bottom of the bag to make sure that there is no hole there. There was other garbage, so it's natural... I turn my magic bag over again, but there's still nothing coming out. In my memory, 13 potions should have been in the bag.

...Where did they go?

Because I can't seem to find them, I give up and start to look for potions to replenish my stock. I want more blue potion to heal wounds and green potion to alleviate pain. The degraded version is weak to heat and the two types discolor really fast. However, most of it will be used in the forest, so I want to keep as much reserve as possible. I look around the dump and put the potions I found in a magic bag. After I picked some up I return to Sora.

"Sorry to kept you waiting"

Sora was trembling while rolling in the wind.

...I wish I had chosen a safer place.

I pick Sora up and head to Ratto village. When I feel the presence of people approaching, I put Sora in the magic bag...

"Oh no, the potions"

There are a lot of potions in the magic bag. Other bags are in a similar state. The only one that's empty is the trash bag. I look at sora.

"Sorry, please be patient for a while"

Today I'm just checking the village and gathering information about the villages surroundings, after that I plan to leave immediately. I was hesitant at first but decided to put Sora in the bag with the potions. Let's prepare a bag for Sora as soon as possible.

As I enter Ratto Village, I immediately search for the place where the adventurers gathered and see the village's situation. From the state of the village, there seems to be no major problems in this village. The rest is information about the forest.

When it comes to monsters and animals that attack people, adventurers are the best people to ask. There is a tavern in the center of the village, and there are many shops where adventurers gather. In these places, they talk boastfully about the animals and monsters they have hunted, making it easy to understand the situation of the forest. The most information comes during the evening, and the stories that are told when they're drunk are most reliable. Beyond that, the conversations are meaningless.

Along the way, I strained my ears to pick up the voices around me. What I learned from the things I heard is that the forest near this village is relatively safe. That's good, it means I can take Sora out of the bag. However, I also heard something very interesting.

They said that there were signs that the snake monsters were increasing and because of that that there's a possibility the village might request for their subjugation. It looks like the subjugation area would be near the road that leads from this village to the next one. I wonder if I should wait in the village for a while, then see how the situation is going. Also, I'd like to hunt and make some money. If there are many wild rats, I think I can hunt them.
