5-2 Journey (2)

Satou's here Hiking is nice, isn't it When you're surrounded by nature, fully inhaling the scents of the trees and the plants, you coet about all the unpleasant affairs at work

◇

After I've finished taking care of the horses, I begin to co about the intense s, Liza come to ask if the h It's cold, and the black bread without the soup would be too hard

I catch a sight of the Light Hot Plate beside

I decided to use this to help for cooking After heating the soup with this, you could put the burning firewood until it's boiled I'll leave the ht Hot Plate to Arisa

Still, I didn't think that gathering for fuel would be this hard I should have bought thee if we get in a pinch The fact that the Item Box could only store item with particular size is a bottleneck

◇

I, who have been on, could smell the nice aroma from the soup The finished deodorant is in the for and it seeether with the soat leathers and wools froe and put them inside the Item Box in a set inside, I leveled up the Item Box skill level to 4

Liza coht after I've finished h she probably didn't watch me

Now then, since the meal is ready I should call Pochi and Tama back

I call theet to a town

I do have whistles in e but it'd be disastrous if I blow it and el appear, so I won't

"A prey nano desu~"

Pochi co a rabbit on her hand The ears are short for a rabbit According the AR, it's called Short-eared Rabbit Pochi is dirtied with grass andnicely

I relay the rabbit I've received to Liza

I praise Pochi while stroking her head Since I can't let her have a lunch like she is, I put water to a bucket and wash her face and arms with it I've made this policy from the time ere in the labyrinth before we had meals, so when she's presented with the water bucket, she's splashing the water around Lastly, she shakes her head to re a towel This habit of her is irreparable it seeht it~"

This time it's Tama who has come back, her voice comes from behind

I wonder what did Tama catch?　Is it a bird~?

"Meat! nano desu?", Pochi tilt her head in puzzlethat Tah rat or not The AR shows that it's a rat-man

The rat-man seems to be unconscious, but at least he's still alive

"Ta a bit sad, Ta her head

I almost allow it involuntarily, but let's not eat radually

"You'll hurt your stoins to spin on spot while still holding the rat-man Then, she throws the rat-man across the meadow

Oioi, that was too wild no matter how you look at it

The rat-man has its HP decreased by a little, but it seeh, I decided to check if he has any external wounds Before that, I scold Tama properly

The rat- to AR, he doesn't have any skill, age 2 As expected of rats, they grow fast He's grasping so that look like a ball of mud on his hand, but, since I have no interest on it, I leave it alone It's probably this child's boxed lunch

Since he only seems to have fainted, I put him on a meadow a bit away from our camp I put several fruits beside him as a remuneration for the trouble

On the other hand, Liza has quickly dis it now The entrails that has been washed then properly cut into tiny pieces by Liza, and fried together with so a dead tree from the other side of the boulder found by Tary nodesu~"

"Copycat is bad nano desu~"

"Meat~ nano desu~"

Arisa de as Pochi Pochi protests at her, Ta nanodesu

Since the rat-in our est piece of meat

I pass it to Pochi because she's the MVP this tiood with the prey, but she played an active role in securing the firewood

The meat of the rabbit is tender and delicious I don't knohether this is because of Liza being good at cooking or the fresh ingredient, but good food is good food

I'h, I decline

Kasakasa

Even if I don't look at the direction of the sounds, I know from the radar that the rat-man who has awakened runs away When I check on it later, the fruits has been properly taken away

◇

I' a tea break with Liza and Lulu after the ht in the royal court even if it was just a small country, so the tea made by Lulu is on different level than the one I usually drank Truly delicious

Seely not at all dissatisfied when I praise her, even while acting hu

Arisa follows Pochi and Ta of the boulders The person itself said, "I'", of course, but I could only saw pleasure trip on herthe tea's aroma

I tried to look for rat-men, but the only rat-man around here is the child earlier I wonder if he's a lost child?

Froe dozen of kilometer away southeast froe outside of the earl's territory Fortunately the lost child is running into the direction of the village, and the dangerous ani to be okay even left alone

Since I was only searching for monsters' special attacks or level earlier, I had ht be thieves too, so I make an adjustment to the search pattern
