An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

I hid myself in the bushes and died under the shining light of the sun.

Even in September, the summer's hottest season, the sunlight coming in during the day is hard.

Sweat drips from the forehead, and perspiration sweats around the back and neck.

I'm urged to wipe my sweat right away, but I'm patient now. Prey is nearby.

The prey seen from between the bushes is a rather large deer.

Deer advance their supple legs and approach the pico berries growing at the base of the tree.

I looked around and looked around and started eating ham and pico.

Deer's vigilance is still strong, so I just look at him without hostility or murder.

Then, when I felt the relaxed atmosphere of the deer from the deer, I stood up without making a noise and held a bow and turned the arrow.

Then aim, pull the string, release it.

Then, the arrow gained the energy of the string and jumped out vigorously.

The sound of squeezing the air is heard and the trajectory of an arrow is drawn in my view.

--I got it. At that moment, an arrow pierced the deer's head and crashed down to the ground.

I slowly carry my bow on my back and walk to the fallen deer.

A deer penetrating the temporal region had jerks in her legs. A red liquid flows from the wound that penetrates the temporal region deeply.

He was still breathing, but just before his death.

It's a pity, but we can't help but survive.

I tie a deer that has become immobile to a nearby tree with a rope and perform blood removal.

Then I noticed one sign that approached me.

Kyle is the habit of moving these feet forward.

When I hit it, I looked back diagonally and opened my mouth.

"Kyle, how about you?"

"... I'm going to get rid of this sign."

As expected, Kyle with a dissatisfied face emerged from a tree 40 meters ahead of me.

Kyle, as a hunter apprenticeship trainer, approaches this way when approaching me.

I can't be too nervous about being a challenge every time, but for the sake of Kyle's growth, this is not much work.

It's still hard to get rid of the signs, so it would be difficult to get through my senses and approach.

"It's nice that I aimed while I was processing, but not yet."

"But still, it's the same sensing ability. I lose my confidence that I'm still forty meters away but I can see it."

I actually sensed it from a farther stage, but I have to say that.

Kyle is likely to lose more confidence.

"Ah, anyone can get used to this much."

"A teacher is duller?"

I follow with a bitter smile, but Kyle replies unsatisfactory.

"Because the signs of animals and humans are different. I was once an adventurer."

"... I think it's convincing to think so, but I think Aldo's perception is strange, because he defeats the Red Bear alone and isn't just an adventurer, right? "

"That's not it."

I don't know any other adventurers, but all my party members can beat Red Bear alone and I'm not unusual. Yes, this can be done by any adventurer who has grown to some degree.

"Well, that's it. I don't recommend coming upwind from now on. When you come upwind, you'll definitely notice the smell drifting by the wind."

"I see. From now on, I will pay attention to the direction of the wind."

Kyle nodded straight when I advised to divert the topic.

At first glance it looks cold and twisted for a child, but in such a case it is really obedient. There is a difference from usual and it looks a little cute.

Kyle asked me, thinking with such a warm eye.

"Mr. Aldo, what about the west?"

"That's right. It's been more than a month since that, I'm really calm down. There are almost no animals or monsters that I can not see and I think that I can think that I have returned as before "

More than a month has passed since Flora hit the Red Bear on the west side of the forest.

At first, the forest was unusual as the effects of the red bear rampaging or herbivores and monsters changed their homes and flowed to other places, but gradually over time they noticed that the red bear was gone. He returned to his former home.

Some of the monsters have settled in and loved the location they moved to, but that's no problem as we hunters took the lead.

It can be said that the forest has returned to its state before the appearance of the Red Bear.

"Today and the east side were peaceful, and there is no problem.

"Then he came to talk about the north side where Loren went to check it out."

There is a slight sign to the north from our place.

Unlike Kyle, who is an apprentice as expected, the way to erase the sign is good.

"Huh? Where is it?"

"Well, where do you think?"

Loren's signs stop moving, as we could hear our conversation.

Kyle listened desperately to find Lauren.

Then, whether the nature has taken a role in Kyle, the wind is flowing from the north side softly.

"Oh, it smells like Elle?"

Kyle mutters with a notice of the smell drifting from the wind.

"Well then, let's try to match the answers."

Kyle grin grin when I hand the pebble.

""! "

"It hurts! Isn't it terrible to throw a stone!"

Both of the pebbles we threw headed to the same bush, from which Lauren stood up, holding down his head.

""Yay!""

Despite Lauren's shouting with tears, Kyle and I clamber together and shout for joy.

Kyle has a really good smile, probably because of the revenge she usually uses.

It's always cute to have such an innocent smile.

"Did Aldo teach you at all?"

Lauren comes while holding the head hit by the pebble.

"No, I just taught my tips, not the specific places."

"Is it true?"

"Teacher, did you eat or take Elle on the way? I got on the wind and softly smelled Elle, so I knew it."

He asks Lauren, who looks suspiciously, why she was able to detect Kyle.

Loren then made an expression that she was impressed with before tongue tapping.

"... Che, yes, I ate Erue, but it's bad luck if the wind blows at that time."

I'm not honest at all. I wish I could praise it normally.

When I smile with such thoughts, Loren read his thoughts and crossed his arms to make a bitter look.

Then I scratch my head and tap Kyle's shoulder.

"Well, let's do it. I'm pretty good at your nose. I'll do my best so I can graduate from the apprenticeship."

Loren was ashamed or shouted, "No problem on the north side," and went down to the village.

Kyle looked a little surprised, then smiled and gladly walked out.

I stared back at the back like Loren and Kyle's parent and child, then recovered my prey and followed.
