Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

There is no shop on the route that waltzes go to school. There is one inn in the village, but there are no other shops, so there is a caravan party once a week. If you want to go shopping right away, you have to go to the nearest town (official capital), but it was a big deal for ordinary students to walk to the official capital, which is three days away from school.

In the case of the waltzes, that doesn't apply, but for a while, they didn't seem to want to go to the capital. Because it is extremely dangerous for a party of waltzes whose members occupy three-quarters of the beastmen, such as going to the capital with the culture of bullying the beastmen. Needless to say, it is the other side that is in danger.

Therefore, local procurement is essential for the necessary goods. If it's normal, you should buy food from a butcher or bakery on a self-sufficient basis.

ZUDOOOOO!!

"That's just great!" On the way home, I found this big wild boar. "

Just as she said that meat was sold when she stopped at a convenience store, a boar monster four times larger than her height was rolling beside the waltz with a happy smile. From the land bridge that connects the college to the village where my home is located, I saw a large boar, so Lucia used transfer magic to attract it, and Waltz flew the boar's head with his sword. As a waltz, it seems that he also drained blood and stabbed the boar, but thanks to this, the sea of blood was on the land bridge. However, it seemed that a splattered scene was spreading that did not seem like a way to go to school.

However, there is no noticeable reaction from the Waltzes, as it was a very routine occurrence around them.

"It looks like I've become such a spectacle too..."

Asteria muttered as she turned a distant gaze toward the chunks of meat. Then Teresa reacts to her words.

“What are you talking about? Lord Asteria, this is not the kind of thing that hunts the waltzes. Does your lord know? A pile of meat piled as high as a real pile!”

"...... No, I don't really want to imagine..."

"With those two, monsters gathered in the woods in an instant, and they drained blood again in an instant." How many foxes have been involved and sacrificed so far... Hunting for something you can't eat... oh, my God! "

"......" Bloom

Asteria shuddered, wondering if she had been struck by chills.

"(I'm glad I didn't live in the woods...)"

If she was living in the wrong place, now she-- no, let's not talk about it here.

Self-sustainability for the waltzes doesn't end with securing meat. A creature, a human, could not live by eating only flesh. Of course, we also need vegetables.

However, I didn't harvest it as lavishly as I would a monster hunt. The freshness of wild vegetables and mushrooms that grow in the forest will deteriorate from that point on if they are picked, but if they are not picked, there is a difference between whether they are edible or not, but basically, they can be preserved as is without deteriorating the freshness. However, once overfished and destroying the ecosystem, the same plants will not grow on the spot again, so it is necessary to treat them with care. Someday they will be hunted as meat (?) The monsters also grow big by using the forest, so it is natural to take care of the forest.

The waltzes weren't going to break that implicit rule either. For Waltz, who had lived in the woods for a long time, the importance of the forest was soaked in him that he knew it. Conversely, --,

Grrrrr!!

I couldn't say anything without destroying the forest.

A light bulb pierces through the forest. It was Lucia's light magic. It is the magic she used to look for books in the library. Such things fly through the gaps of the trees like sewing through the woods, trying to find something.

Within that, one, and one, the light bulb stops in the forest. What was there was edible wild vegetables. Yes, Lucia used a search magic that applied light magic to identify the location of the wild vegetables in the forest.

"I found the wild vegetables, but what do you do, sister?"

"I'll dig it up with the transfer magic... because it depends on the ground." Because the wild vegetables will disappear next season. That's why... let's go and collect the wild vegetables together. "

Yeah!

Lucia said that and took the hand of her sister, who was shorter than her height. And with the other hand, after worrying about whether to join hands with Asteria or with another person, I take Asteria's hand.

As a result, Teresa, who has become a so-called botch without holding hands with anyone, tries to reach out to her favorite waltz, but in the end, she doesn't have the courage to pull her hand back and reach out to another person - the Asteria.

However, Teresa stopped her hand there. The Asteria was prepared to hold hands. It is not clear why Teresa thought of it, but at this time she seemed to have a bitter expression as if she were shedding tears of blood.
