My First Trip was to Another World

We're going to the woods today to investigate and collect.

I think I could have bought all the stuff I needed, so I plan to extend my legs a little deeper in the woods today and camp there.

Leeds' request is also concurrent. The request is for a survey of the forest. Our support is a must because Leeds is supposed to have a heavy load.

Wearing the black and medium costume I just bought, I'm just leaving. Medium Secondary Costume...... you like it? I like it, but come on. I didn't think I was going to wear it...

Claire, who showed up before us in the morning, was in her usual leather armor. I wish you were wearing yesterday's clothes.

Just like last time, ignore meadows with few demons. I ran all the way through to the woods.

"Today is Leeds' request for an investigation and the collection of herbs. Claire, nice to meet you."

"Leave it to me. I'm not going to beat anyone with herbs."

There was no good place in battle, Claire, but I really rely on it when it comes to medicinal herbs.

It can't be more like Earth than magic.

"The lead is Leeds. I know it's dangerous, but it's for a favor. Say anything that bothers you."

"Okay -"

So I grab Leeds' arm and stop him trying to run out. Danger. Always like this when you're caught off guard.

"Proceed with proper forward and rear checks. This is in the woods. Think we'll never see each other again."

Exaggerated, but you'd better think so. Shipwrecks, however low the altitude, can be dangerous. And if you lose sight of the direction and your people, you're easily shipwrecked.

"Ugh. Okay. Be careful."

Ask Leeds to check the perimeter, and I'll check my feet. It's primarily a vegetation investigation. I couldn't afford that in the early morning training. I can investigate slowly.

What I found out on foot for a while was that plants in this world are not very different from the Earth. A familiar plant is growing. There are quite a few plants that are familiar with the planet, such as wavy cetaceans.

"Kon, mushrooms! There's mushrooms!

"Wait, don't touch it!" "Wait!

Me and Claire stopped Leeds trying to pick mushrooms at the same time.

Leeds stops moving as a vick, looking at me in tears. Hmm, sounds like you're doing something bad...

"Sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you. Some mushrooms are out just touching them. I'd rather not touch mushrooms that I'm not absolutely sure of."

Like Caentake, for example. There are other poisonous mushrooms that can only be distinguished where they are growing. If you pick it, it's impossible to tell.

"Koh, you know very well. If you see a mushroom, think of it as poison. Don't lay your hands on it until it looks, places, seasons, climates, and conditions are right."

Even in Japan, we used to judge by an inexplicable theory, but it seems to be overcome in this world. You can eat mushrooms that rip vertically... most mushrooms rip vertically.

Luna observes mushrooms with interest. I took out the paper and started sketching...... I hope it's enthusiastic, but it's still the forest entrance, okay?

While I wait for Luna, I'll observe. Bright white body from top to bottom, bumps at foot. The stem has a bump. Feels like you saw it. It's doktultake......

"Claire, what is this?

"You're White Angel. You can't go wrong."

"Cute name -. Can I pick it?

"No, you can't. Eat this and an angel will pick you up from the land of the dead."

Yes, fierce poison. Leeds, deceived by his name, is trembling. Give it a stylish name for nothing. Apprentice Japan.

"Thank you for waiting. Let's go."

Looks like Luna finished her sketch. That was fast enough...... Is this what researchers do all the time?

"Wait a minute. It would be dangerous if these mushrooms were growing at the forest entrance. Coe, I'm sorry, but will you burn it?

Me? I think it would be bad if I did grow up in this place... You can't use the magic of burning only mushrooms with a pinpoint.

If I light a fire, I can have mystery circles in the woods.

"No, I'll do it, won't I? If you leave it to Mr. Coe, the forest will turn to ash."

That's what Luna said, only magically and cleverly ashed the mushrooms.

Isn't that terrible? You can add and subtract a little bit, right? But I think I should be able to make these fine-tunes, too.

Go further back. There is a wide variety of trees growing in the woods. There are many trees like Kunugi, Shii, and Nara, and occasionally other trees grow.

I think I can pick a lot of dongles. You don't seem to have a culture to eat in this country, but if you're going to be eaten, it's an emergency food.

"The sound of the river. There's a river!

Leeds spoke up. I think I found the river. I don't hear anything. It doesn't even sound like Luna and Claire.

"That's the Beast Man. It doesn't sound like anything to me. Let's go."

Claire's instructions, lead the Leeds to the river.

There's more to it than a river. The river is less than a metre wide.

As I approached the river, something started to smell. I've smelled it before... it smells like a mixture of tannin and acidity in the blue smell. That's dokudami.

The characteristic flowers that blossomed astonishingly by the river were something very similar to Docdami's. The petals are light purple, not white, and about 30 cm in size.

"I found it. It's Sibuki, the most famous herb around here. It's the main ingredient in the potion, so I'm going to pick a lot of it."

It's the raw material of the mazpotion! Even Japan said it was poisoned or something, but hey. Is magical power making you more effective?

"What's the difference between medicinal herbs and other grasses?

"There's something in the grass that builds up magic, something that spits out, something that's neither of them. What's neither is just weed.

Herbs and poisonous herbs are either stored or spit out. Both have poisons and pills, so I'll just have to remember this. "

That's surprisingly cumbersome...... I thought it would be easier to remember when I found Doc Dami, but on the contrary, the knowledge of the planet could be shackled.

It's going to be confusing on Earth with weeds, over here with weeds, what a mess.

That's sampling for now. Let Leeds do it first.

"Leeds, because of this, take it..."

I already did before I ran out of words. I'm coming down to Sawasawa on my own and pulling out a bump. Much more violent, okay?

"Wait! There's a way to pick it, so don't do it on your own!

"Sorry......"

Angry Leeds stopped moving again as a vic.

Leeds honestly apologizes when he gets angry...... just don't reflect. I'm a free man for better or worse. I envy that personality.

Leeds, who has become completely moist, has folded his tail and listened carefully to the explanation.

I need to hear it, too.

"Okay? This herb is to be pulled out of its roots. Remember, there are herbs that shouldn't be taken out of their roots."

Is the area the same as Earth? Weak plants like wasabi can easily be reduced in number when the roots are picked.

Luna is sketching Sibki as she listens to the explanation. I feel like I can leave all my herbal relationships to Luna anymore...... It's not good manpower. Let's get serious, too.

I finished explaining Shibki and we all collected a few bottles at a time. The sale price is five large copper coins per share. Earnings are insignificant, but not bad because they can be sold in large quantities.

Regular herb collection requests will be received after collection. It's a pretty cynical world where buying them out is a quick win.

We go further back. I think it's time for the directional survey to start going crazy deep, but I just tried an azimuthal magnetic object in the application of sign perception, and I'm relieved that it somehow succeeded.

As always, Leeds is leading the way. I'm confident and Zunzun is progressing but... are you okay? I wish my nesting instinct would do the job.

"Isn't that too much in the back? We're gonna go beyond the scope of the investigation, right?

Pretty far back, Claire takes care. It did come pretty far back. It should have gone about 30 km since we went into the woods. It's a technique to strengthen your body. Although Claire is fortified magic.

"You sure do. No abnormalities have been felt on previous journeys. You can turn back."

"Right. I've never been this deep before, so I can't guide you any further."

We stopped once and checked our direction. Luna and Claire are some kind of magic prop, and I'm the magic of azimuthal magnets. Leeds is a hunch.

We're all checking to see if there's any discrepancy in magic props and magic.

"Is something wrong?

Looks like Leeds felt something, pinned his ears and looked behind the woods.

I still don't feel anything, but Leeds is sharper, so you'd better follow Leeds.

"What's up?

"I don't know. Weird feeling. Looks like they're not enemies, but enemies?

I'm not sure...... Is it just unnoticed or is it a demon without danger? Whatever it is, you should be careful.

"Don't be weird. You don't feel anything, do you?

"I don't feel anything either, but something must be wrong if Mr. Leeds says so.

How's Mr. Coe?

"I don't know yet either. Leeds, show me in that 'weird feeling' direction. Slow down. Slow down, though. Don't run, okay?

Keep your head down or I'll dash hard...... You're not pretending, are you? Don't push it. Don't push it. It's not a target, is it?

"Okay -"

Leeds proceeded carefully and slowly, step by step. He's the one who can tell. I just don't know until I tell you.

Further down, I felt uncomfortable, too. Sure, it's a demonic reaction, but you don't feel hostile... It's an unnatural sign to say something.

I don't mind, but you should check...
