Each time I went to town every ten days, Nelly started selling Sarah's herbs one by one. What I bought in the first harvest was a small storage bag for my collection basket.

The rectangular basket with handles has two stages, the lower stage has five partitions, and the upper stage has no partitions.

"Top is for the best herbs. The lower level is for top herbs, poison herbs, paralysis herbs, magic herbs, and top magic herbs from the left. Ten herbs cost 500 guilders. Poisonous and paralytic grasses cost 500 guills per unit. To be honest, magic grass and upper magic grass can't be removed very much, but if they can, magic grass will take 1,000 girls. a bottle. Five thousand guilders a bottle with magic grass."

"I rarely get it, but it grows there."

Sarah pointed down the stairs. Nelly didn't seem to have noticed because she wasn't interested, so she thought to herself.

"This is the Mountain of Magic."

I don't know why, but I was sure it was growing around the hut.

"Potions made from medicinal herbs are life-threatening, so they don't change prices sometimes. That's why the price of 5000 guilders per bottle will never change, even if you rarely take the upper magic grass. Conversely, it won't be cheap if it is taken too much. Medicinal herbs are always bought at a fixed price in the Pharmacist's Guild. Remember that."

"I sell herbs at the Pharmacists Guild, so if you need help, talk to Chris."

"Yes, it is."

At that time, the season was winter, and it was quite cold to go out. Even if you stake and fix the boundary with magic, you can't stay out for long due to the cold. Over the course of 10 days, there were 100 herbs, a few topical herbs, poisonous herbs, and paralytic herbs. If you're lucky enough to have magical herbs, you can put them in the basket, about 20,000 giraffes at a time.

The storage bag Sarah bought was the smallest type. Still, 300,000.

"There's only one Wyburn in there, but that'll be enough at first."

"Wyburn, you know how much it is."

Since it is a creature that tries to carry more than two meters of deer with its feet tied together, one head means that it has about the capacity of a small room.

"If you stay in the dungeon for a few nights, it will be filled with monster materials in no time. A good hunter will soon be replaced."

"In the meantime, we need to earn some storage bags!

Sarah got in a good mood. Even though he is still ten years old, he will have to be independent in time. In the meantime, we will work hard to pay for the debt of the storage bag.

But Sarah was a little dissatisfied.

Nelly buys special items, like storage bags and herbal baskets that no one but the hunter and the merchant have, but she doesn't buy any clothes. In the first place, Nelly herself is dressed like a man in trousers and shirts with a vest or jacket. Because my job is hunter, I think that's fine.

But what about Sarah, 10 years old, with clothes almost the same size as adults?

"I'm sorry. I couldn't tell the shopkeeper to give me a 10-year-old dress."

"What is the smallest adult size?

"It's kind of hard to think I can't even get in."

I don't think there's anything I can do about it. Apparently, Nelly doesn't like to interact with people very much. I don't know for certain, but Sarah was reluctant to listen to the situation, even if she was a hunter, because she thought there might be some deep reason for having a woman in a cabin like this.

I can still only get out of the cabin for a few meters, but I couldn't tell you that the clothes I wear aren't fashionable.

That's why the hem of the pants and the sleeves of the shirt are folded back, squeezing the strings tightly and wearing a rag of clothes.

Still, six months after I came to this world after a hardly snowy winter, I was able to pay off my storage bag debt with the spring visit.

"I think it belongs to me, and I love this pouch."

Gently pulls a small pouch attached to a tightly tied waist with rash trousers. The pouch only contains a basket of herbs and a few bags of slime magic stones. By the way, the bag was sewn by Sarah.

"Magic Stones are bought by the Hunter Guild, but if I sell them, they will be my income. I can't sell it for you. Besides, I'm suspicious of selling a lot of Slime Magic Stones on my level. So do it for yourself until you're 12, and sell it all together."

That's what Nelly told me.

"Twelve?

"In order to live and hunt monsters, you must register with the Alliance. But hunting even the smallest slime is life-threatening, so the minimum age is set to be that."

Well, you won't be able to stand on your own for another two years anyway.

"A year and a half."

"All right, good luck!

"By the way, I got this today."

What a big egg Nelly took out of the bag. It seems like an ostrich egg, but it's rounded like a turtle egg.

"It's a cocatrice egg. It's spring, so some monsters lay eggs."

"More eggs."

When I tried to receive the eggs in surprise, my hands slipped.

"Ahh! I'm not, am I?

The round eggs bounced like superballs without cracking and eventually settled on the hut floor.

"Surprised."

"Strong monsters are strong eggs."

That's right, but I didn't think it would bounce. There was something in Sarah's head that sparked her, but she went somewhere before she came up with a clear idea.

"If the eggs don't break, how do you eat them?

Mm-hmm. Indeed.

Eventually, the eggs were taken outside and cooked by drilling a hole in the shell with a hot flame.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen Sarah's magic before. I've never seen a magician use the magic of a small flame like that."

Nelly put her hand on her chin as impressed.

"No, I'm sure anyone on Earth can do it. Even I can think of something."

Someone invited. I've never been close. "

"So I'm number one?

I see.

I felt a little red on Nelly's cheeks facing that side. Sarah laughed unexpectedly. Cocatrice eggs that I ate with friends were delicious.

However, Sarah was in a hurry to herself, who was only a few meters away from the hut after six months. Fortunately, Nelly and I have never been dissatisfied. Still, I don't think we can rely on it forever.

"The eggs were delicious. It was strange to play poyon-poyon. Oh, wait."

What inspired you then?

"Yes, I thought the border was like an egg, but I didn't like it when I rolled or fell off, so I thought it was better if they bounced back."

This is what happens when you follow the inspiration.

"In other words, if the boundary bounces back all sorts of things like a mirror..."

The opponent takes damage without rolling.

"But I don't understand the image. Bounce, bounce, that's it. Bubble game. Bouncing back. That way, you won't be shocked, so you can walk with your boundaries closed. What did I say? Shields, not barriers. Barrier!"

Isn't it written in the magic book that image is important from the very beginning?

"Why did I come in from physical strengthening?"

Of course it's Nelly's fault.

The next day, for the first time in a long time, Sarah decided to go out with Nelly before she went hunting in the morning.

"Well then, it's been a long time!

"Gau"

"Perseverance, you've been here six months."

Leave the wolf alone for now.

Nelly looks at us with her arms folded funny.

"It's not a boundary, no, it's like a boundary, but the image is a bubble. And that bubble bounces everything back. Magic, physics. All right!"

Puff up the barrier around you.

One or two steps from the border.

The wolf hits me as usual.

Puyon.

Gang!

Gang!

The wolves that hit me jumped one after the other.

There's no shock here.

Sarah turned around unexpectedly.

Nelly!

Nelly held her arms together and stuck her face in surprise.

Nelly?

Nelly loosened her arm.

"You're the one who was invited. I didn't know I could do this without the power to fight."

I snapped.

I didn't feel happy on that face, but for some reason I felt sad.

"But it's quick to be reassured. Even if you use the magic of the border at night, you have to keep deploying it for five days until you get out of town."

I didn't feel like I could do it yet. Still, he took a step forward.

Sarah looked up at the town of Rosa, which seemed to be at the foot of the mountain.

"I'll be there one day! In about two years!

The goal is firm. But the reality has to be seen. Sarah knows that she is weak.

"Two years, huh? Until then..."

Nelly?

"Nothing. Now, I'm gonna hang out a little bit, so let's train you to go out for a long time!

Sarah didn't know what Nelly was worried about, but at least she needed a little help to get Nelly's luggage.
