The weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins Light Novel

Part 23

I decided to give up on the snake traps and increase the number of traps for wild rats. If I try to hunt snakes, there will be a lack of sleep. On the day I sold the snakes, the lack of sleep had reduced my awareness and I felt that it would be dangerous in the forest. Until the trap can be improved, I'll give up on it.

I searched around the trap that I had set up yesterday. The wild rat's escape routes are scattered because of the snakes, making it difficult for the wild rats to fall into the traps. The four traps that I had set up yesterday were destroyed, was it because of the snakes? Still, it seems it was right to increase the number of traps. From fifteen traps, only three wild rats were caught. I quickly finish dismantling them and head to the village.

When I enter the village, I noticed something unusual. The adventurers seem to be in a hurry. I wonder what's happened? As I head towards the butchers, I overhear a conversation... Apparently, the village has issued a subjugation request for a large number of snakes. Are the adventurers busy preparing for the subjugation? Is snake subjugation worth more than selling it to a pharmacy? Well, even if it can earn money, it's better not to participate in the subjugation. A minor traveling alone is eye-catching, and it's better not to stand out. I need to find out when the subjugation begins. If there are many adventurers in the forest, it is better for me to not be there for the day. There's a possibility that a menacing monster might appear in the presence of the adventurers. It will be difficult if I get caught in it.

When I enter the butcher's place, there's a woman that I haven't seen before. I was really surprised. I thought that the store owner would be here.

"Oh, welcome!"

"...Umm, I want to sell some wild rats"

"Eh?...Aah~, I've heard about you from my husband, you're the child that came to sell wild rats, right?"

So she is his wife. Let's take a deep breath and calm down. I give the wife the meat wrapped in banana leaves.

"Aa~, they're beautifully dismantled. This helps out a lot. Some adventurers are rather sloppy"

"Thank you."

"It's 330 Dal for all three, there's no problem, right?"

"Yes"

"Speaking of which, it seems like the snakes subjugation has finally begun. The village chief is pretty difficult to move"

"...It looks so"

"Are you participating in the subjugation?"

"...No"

"Oh my, is that so?"

"Yes"

What to do, how should I handle a talkative woman?...I can't just leave...when will it end. It took about 10 minutes before I could leave the store. The talk was finally over when the store owner returned. Or rather, the owner is the one that stopped the talk. I was thankful for that.

Leaving the store, I sigh in relief. I wasn't sure what we were talking about after a while, but now I know the date and time of the subjugation, so that was good. For now, let just stay away from the butchers.

If the snake subjugation begins, I'll consider going to the next village...Not good, I forgot to gather blue potions. There are three remaining potions...I realistically want ten potions, but if that's not possible, I want to at least secure six potions. If I consider Sora's food, it would be about fifty bottles? However I think about it, it's impossible. What should I do? Are blue potions the only ones Sora can eat? For now, let's go check the dump.

There are two blue potions in front of me, so now I have five in total...It's still Not enough. I put the potions I found away, before taking Sora out of his exclusive bag. It's so sora won't be seen in the public, and because I felt bad shoving him in a bag with other things. I take sora out of the bag and place a potion with a different color.

"Won't you eat it?"

...He doesn't even look at it. Like I thought, it's useless. Until there's a blue potion that's abandoned, I'll stay in the village for a while. It's outside my plan, but I'll be worried if I don't have it... I hope someone throws away a lot of blue potions.
