The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Chapter 18

Before leaving the village, I look for a butcher. When I enter one of the butchers shops an uncle with a good smile welcomes me. There are some dried meats but the amount is smaller even though the price is the same 100 Dal.

"Sorry, but thanks to the snake bastard, the number of wild rats are decreasing so the price for the meat is rising"

Perhaps he decided to tell me this after seeing my puzzled expression.

"Thank you very much for the explanation. Then if I hunt wild rats, will you buy it?"

"I'd be very grateful if you do. But, if you aim at wild rats, the snakes will come for you"

"...Really?"

"Aa, because those who went hunting wild rats in their nest made a noise that made the snakes irritated"

"I see... thank you"

"No problem, I hope your wild rat hunt goes smoothly!"

After buying a piece of dried meat, I left the store. The snakes will likely become a problem, because the snakes in question are probably monsters. I should go check out the situation to see how serious it is.

Which reminds me, even if I say it is a monster, what type of monster is it? Does it contain magic power, poison, or can it release magic... if it's magic, i'll need to escape immediately.

Should I hunt the wild rats? I hunt by putting a trap in the place where the wild rats run to. Will it get trapped together with the snakes? If it's impossible after trying once, I might have to come up with another way.

.....Speaking of which, will he buy the snakes if I get one? I forgot to ask about it.

I leave the village and walk through the forest, but I can't feel the presence of the snakes.

While keeping an eye on my surroundings, I go to a tree with a big trunk that's easy to get on to, and that I found near the dump. Looking around from the top, I can see a small animal running.

At that time with the huge ant, all small animals had disappeared over a wide area. So, does it mean that the snakes aren't that strong? N~, let's gather more info about the snakes in the village tomorrow.

I sit on the big tree and put sora on my lap.

"Are you okay?"

Like always, he is shaking his body. I feel sorry when I look at him. No no no, not good...... let's finish what I have to do first and not get distracted.

I have to arrange the potions that were originally in the magic bag, and the potions that I just picked up. Then I need to check their color and stock. I take out the potions from the magic bags, but once again, the blue potions are missing.

"Again?"

I turn the bag over, but as I thought, they're really gone. It's the same situation as at the dump before. Thinking of what could've happened I looked at sora. The only similar thing is none other than having Sora in it.

"Sora? Could it be..."

Now that I think about it, what does sora eat? Normal slimes are monsters that process organic matter. Inorganic substances are also possible if it's a rare slime. What about the crumbling slime? The missing blue potions... Perhaps a potion that heals wounds?

But, it's still strange. Slimes can only process organic or inorganic substances. Potions are organic, but the containers are inorganic.

...What's going on?

I don't know even after thinking about it, so I bring discolored blue potion from the nearby dump. I'm a little worried, but I put the potion in front of Sora. My heart starts pounding.
