The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

This time, when I left the forest intending to head to Latoto village, I found the village dumpster.

Just the right place to throw away things I don’t need anymore.

By the time I arrived here, the weather has warmed a little and potions were getting discolored pretty quickly.

In particular, potions for healing wound and reducing pain were often getting discolored.

 

I put Sora down on a nearby rock visible from the dumpster and stepped inside the dumpster.

I was about to take out trash from inside a magic bag, but…

 

“…Huh?”

 

I couldn’t find blue potion among the trash I took out.

They should be discolored into murky white and murky black, though….

I turned the magic bag upside down, but they didn’t come out.

I peeked inside the bag and tried to grab them, but there was indeed none.

The blue ones were potions for healing wound, but before I arrived in this village, a lot of them were already discolored.

 

“How strange.”

 

I even checked if there was any hole on the bottom of the bag, but there wasn’t any.

It was obvious since the other trash were still there, though….

I tried to shake the bag upside down, but nothing came out.

I recalled that 13 bottles of potion should have turned into trash.

…Where did they go?

 

I couldn’t find them no matter how hard I looked, so I gave up and searched for replacement potions.

I wanted a lot of blue potions for healing wounds and green potions for reducing pain.

Degraded potions are sensitive to heat, and these two kinds quickly get discolored.

However, since I use these two the most in the forest, I want to stock as many as possible.

I looked around the dumpster and put some potions into my magic bag.

After I confirmed that I had picked up enough, I went back to Sora’s location.

 

“Sorry to make you wait.”

 

Sora was bouncing while rolling around in the wind.

…I should have found a slightly safer place, huh.

I picked it up and headed to Latoto Village.

When I sense people’s presence approaching, I put Sora in the magic bag….

 

“Oh crap, the potions!”

 

My huge stash of potions are in my magic bags.

The other bags are in similar condition.

The only empty one is the bag meant for trash…I can’t allow this.

I stared at Sora.

 

“I’m sorry, please endure for a bit.”

 

Because I only came to see the village situation and gather some information about the surrounding areas, I planned to leave the village soon.

I was very confused, but in the end I put Sora into the bag containing potions.

Let’s prepare a special bag for Sora.

 

I entered Latoto Village, then immediately searched for a place where adventurers gathered while checking up on the village’s situation.

I concluded from the village’s situation that there seemed to be no major problem around the village.

What I needed next was information about the forest.

I can get the most important information about monsters and violent animals from adventurers’ stories.

There are bars in the village center, and there are also a lot of shops where adventurers gather.

Since they brag about the monsters and animals they hunted in these kind of places, I can easily understand about situation in the forest.

The best time to gather information is in the evening since stories people say when they are tipsy are the most trustful.

If people go beyond tipsy, they start to blabber so their stories are useless.

I listened to their stories as I slowly walked along the street.

What I understood from their stories was that the forest near this village was relatively safe.

I was glad I could get Sora out of the bag.

But I heard a story that bothered me.

There seemed to be signs that the number of snake monsters increased, and they said that the village might issue a request to exterminate them.

The location seemed to be in the village road leading towards the next village.

I wondered if it was better to stay in this village for a while and checked the situation.

Besides…I wanted to go hunting and make some money.

If there are a lot of field mice, I think I can hunt them as well.
