The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Part 21

Hah~... it's been three days since I laid the traps, and I've finally succeeded. I really did try my best. Moreover, I was able to catch two snakes. And two wild rats... it could be called a great hunt, but a trap that needs to be closed manually is no good. I'm very sleepy from having to watch it... not good! The wild rats need to be dismantled, the snakes are good as is because I need to sell it alive.

I have already become accustomed to dismantling. I was able to dismantle them neatly today. Additionally, today's wild rats are larger than usual, which is nice. Next are the snakes that are rampaging in the basket.......I'm a little scared but I need to bring it back to the village with me. Let's do our best.

-------

I enter the village and watch the villagers and the adventurers. It seems there's been no problems since nothing changed. First I went to the store where I bought the dried meat. I just need to sell the meat quickly before it starts rotting.

"Oh! You're from that time... the wild rats, right?"

"Yes, is it okay?"

"Ooh, thanks for your trouble... and that one, is it a snake?"

"Yeah, I'm going to sell it at the pharmacy"

"Is that so, aren't you an amazing boy!"

"..."

"The wild rats are big, they look splendid, how about 260 Dal, is that okay?"

"Yes, thank you very much."

I'm glad that the meats were bought at a high price. After receiving the money, I asked him for the location of a pharmacy that he would recommend. I walked out of the butcher and go to the recommended pharmacy. Let's hurry up. Anyways, it seems that he thinks of me as a boy, what a relief. If I were to go on a journey, the Fortune Teller told me to disguise myself as a boy. She said that it is dangerous for girls and women to travel alone.

When I arrived at the pharmacy, it was the same store where the adventurers from before had sold their snakes. It's my first time entering a pharmacy, I'm a bit nervous.

"Excuse me..."

"What is it?"

A slightly moody store owner appears from behind the counter.

"I want to sell some snakes, would you like to see them?"

"...Where are your parents or a guardian?"

"There aren't any, I'm by myself"

"...Is that so, alright show them to me"

I put the basket in the nearby desk, remove the string and push it out in front of the store owner. It's too scary so opening the bag is impossible for me. The store owner unexpectedly smiles, and opens the bag and checks inside.

"They look lovely, they're a good size and clear color."

It seems they're in a good condition to sell, I'm glad that my effort is not for nothing.

"It's 2 Gidal per snake, so that makes 4 Gidal for these two snakes. Since one of them is a female I'll add 1 Gidal."

Ha? Gidal!? One Gidal is equivalent to 100 copper coins or one silver, which means 5 Gidals is..... Ee! Snakes are so expensive...

"Aah, thank you very much"

"Me too, females are rare and popular"

...I was trembling a little while receiving the money. I can't believe it, getting this much money. I'm glad there was a mass outbreak of snakes. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch it.
