TL Note: Kanpai = “cheers!” when drinking I just left it in Japanese since I’ve already included the naured this would be the most appropriate for the translation style so far

Voluuild lent us 15 ht the elder treant Our plan is to gather all the leftover luht However, the only lu with us are those that can fit into Raypin-san’s ‘Di else will be stored in this town’s and the guild’s storehouses

When we got to the scene, the adventurers that came with us were shocked They couldn’t believe the nuate

Then again, it probably can’t be helped as the total nuated were over 2,000

The treants kept co one after another, so we had no choice but to kill the them in the face would finish them in one hit, ere able to kill the over 2,000 treants all in all

Incidentally, I started to worry when I realized we had just killed so inally trees of this forest So I asked about it, and I found out that the trees of this forest were apparently of a variety known as Torigiri The places they grow in is lirow fast And within half a year of being cut, they’ll grow back Even growing the would only take a year before they could be cut as lumber So there’s really no problem since the trees that have been cut will be back by next year Moreover, the town here will be benefitting too as they will be getting the trees And besides, there aren’t a lot of people who go this deep to get lu that explanation reminded me that this world is a different world

If this were Earth, how row into a tree? And yet here it won’t even take a year Right, I’ve alotten, but… this is definitely a different world There are times when Earth’s coathered lu care of any treants that we cai-san and the others kept all the lumbers in one spot, whilethe lumbers to the town

Thanks to all the extra ic, ere mostly finished by 3PM So we decided to infore nuht out htmare rimel bird in order to contact them

With this, the treant lumber mission came to a close, and the rest of the helpers went back to the village

But as for the seven us, we still have a job to do That job is to disasseot from Gimuru does not include the elder treant Since we hunted it, we could do whatever anted with it, but if ere to ask the guild for help in harvesting it, ould have to pay thely

The elder treant lumber is a first class material for wands, so we didn’t want to discard it So instead, we decided to harvest it by ourselves Only, because it’s so big, it’s going to take so the branches I could climb the ladder I prepared beforehand, and cut its branches But because the elder treant is so big, there are some branches that I can’t reach even with this ladder

So I had everyone else use the ladders to reach the ones that they could, while I opened my ‘Item Box’ and took out a ropeas a wire At the end of that rope, I attached a ring and knotted it Then I had theto it and transfor hook

I swung the grappling hook, and carefully ai hook flew, and it wrapped around a thick branch After confirot near enough, I started using ‘Wind Cutter’ to cut the surrounding branches When there was nothing left to cut, I

At first I thought it was convenient that the branches would just fall to the ground, but then I reredients In fact, the branches were even more suited for wands than the trunk And because we have to cut the branches first, there’s a chance that they round It’s too bad, but it can’t be helped

We silently continued to hack away like this, and so off the branches within the day But now I’ up and down the tree, it wouldn’tto do it thatout of you

Come to think of it, I don’t really use wands all that et one forthe elder treant today

We finished cutting off the branches yesterday, so today we’re going to dig out its roots And so we did, but just as orking, so out the area around the elder treant with the earth sli wooden boxes and stone boxes beneath it

“You guys! Look at this!” [Ryou thehappen?” [Mizelia]

“There’s so buried here Look” [Ryou like this…” [Syria]

“For the meantime, we should unbury it and then take a look inside” [Raypin]

Following Raypin-san’s suggestion, we retrieved the box, and took a look inside Inside was a great nuic jewels that have already been used Magic jewels are transparent before use, but afterwards, they turn into a muddy, whitish hue

We took a look at all the different boxes, and it turns out they were all full of used up ic jewels that weren’t fully used up yet Aic jewels After that, we continued searching for a while, and we came to realize just how ht we should inforuild about this ht back an investigator froation until eventually we came across a number of dead human corpses The corpses had already rotten away, but sos was a ledger that belonged to a ic jewel merchant Froler And we concluded that all these ed to him

We don’t know if this place was supposed to be his hidden stash or the place where a deal was supposed to take place, but regardless,the reason why that elder treant turned out that way The elder treant absorbed the energy froer And because of the power of the reat forest of treants, even becoic itself As for why it didn’t ured that was hed down by all of those boxes of ation concluded, we toppled the elder treant sideways Then using large saws made out of the iron slie And then we stored it in my ‘Dimension Home’

With this, we’ve finished our business in this town, and will be going back to Gimuru tomorrow

But before that, we held a party inside the ‘Dimension Home’ to thank each other for all our efforts

“There’s still soathered all the needed treant lumbers So since we’ve basically coi]

“Kanpai!” [Everyone else]

At Asagi-san’s lead, we all began to eat and drink

Today we’re having te with our drinks Actually, I’ is, there are a lot of edible wild plants in the forest, so all sorts were being sold by the town grocer Then when I saw all the different plants, I ended up ood when turned into teht at that ed to hear ht wind of the word ‘Te zealously about it The others heard about it too as a result, and after they said that they wanted to try it too, we ended up having te with our liquor

The others didn’t actually know anything about tempura It just so happens that I talked about it fro our travel, so they were quite interested in it
