"Oh, now, something's broken!

Sola, who was scratching so hard at a monster that only looked like brown mud that snapped into a tree, raised her voice to the feeling that had come from the knife.

Thor, who was waiting beside him, receives the fluid that drips with finely curled shellfish.

Sola looked pleasantly at the sight of the liquid slipping into the seashell.

"That's how we collect it. Interesting."

"Really? Thanks to this guy, we got a nickname for mud fishing."

"You look, you're muddy. But one way or another, it's mud cleaning, not mud fishing, right? Thanks to Thor, the trees are clean."

"If you're gonna say that, all this work is like cleaning."

I receive a knife from Sola that has been plugged into filled shellfish and turned into a backpack bag and deformed considerably.

Thor turned his gaze toward his hips as he returned the knife to its original state in an instant to his sheath.

Besides the corner mole, there was a monster hanging there that I had just finished.

The name of this bird, almost the same size as the horn mole, is the pointy beak.

With thin and sharp beaks, he has a troublesome habit of following the trunk of a tree around.

As we approach, we fly around in small pieces, hitting us at high speeds, aiming at our eyes and throats. Plus, we are a powerful enemy with very high evasion performance.

However, if you stay away from the trees you are roping in, you will not follow them deeply, so the salvation is that they are as easy to escape as corner moles.

"Hmm, clean it all...?

Not knowing what Thor's words and gaze meant, Sola snapped her neck.

Thor I tried to answer, but first I look from the wooden gap into the sky.

The dazzling sun was slightly past the top of the sky.

"Do you want to stay for lunch?"

To the proclamation, the girl makes her eyes shine.

I had already been walking for nearly three hours since I left the city, and it was time to feel hungry and empty.

Sitting with Thor on an old stump, Sola exhales loudly when she puts up a cane and takes off her hood.

Then he also took off his gloves and flattened his face.

I also want to take off my shoes, but that's in front of Tor, so I can grab it.

He's wearing a chest patch and a robe from the top of his fabric's thick woolen clothes.

Honestly though it's all shade of trees, it's just hot in this season, half way past spring.

But Sora, who grew up in the country, knew enough to know what kind of eyes she would see if she peeled out her bare skin in a place like this.

"Look, it's for you"

"Thank you, Tor"

The leaf-wrapped contents handed to me by Tor were a chunk of dried meat and a few biscuits, along with a slice of cheese.

Sola, unwrapped, speaks with joy.

"Oh, meat! Here you go."

A girl who is joyfully brave and bitten by red-brown meat, but turns into a subtle look as she chews up.

Having forcefully eaten off the dried meat, Sola hurried to reach for the biscuit and threw it into her mouth.

Then I taste it for about two bites, then I round my eyes and jump on a leather bag water bottle.

After being forced to pour everything in with the water, Sola finally took a breath and raised her voice.

"Huh, too salty -"

"Sweat me. It's salty."

"No way, I didn't think it was salty until the biscuits... Ha, what if cheese too?

"That tastes normal"

Thor, while answering, carries thinly peeled dried meat with a knife and cut cheese shards over the biscuit to his mouth.

"Oh, that looks delicious!

"Here."

Sola, who received the knife offered, shall see. Looks good, carries it in her mouth in the same way.

"Yeah, yeah. This would be easy to eat. Still, salt tease. Let me know first."

"Because I eat before I teach. So here we go, have you ever walked this far and noticed?

"That's right. Uh, I'm surprised it's easier to walk than I thought."

"Why do you think?

"I have a decent path and good prospects... Speaking of which, I guess it's because I didn't have a fallen tree or anything, and I'm pruning the twill and the lower branches. And the weeds are blocked, so I guess the sun's fine."

Tor watches as he lifts the edge of his lips slightly as he turns his index finger and raises the points he notices one after the other.

"Yeah, these woods are so well maintained."

"Yeah, you've been watching it a lot."

Shortly after leaving the city, the Little Ghost Forest is a place that has been set up to fell trees.

Over time they have built safe paths, lined trees and expelled dangerous beasts.

Now there are forest roads and three logging sites that circle as far as the woods, until they are known as quality timber regions.

Hearing Thor's explanation, Sola looked back and looked down at the tree hole made by Forest Slime.

And basically punch Pong and his hand.

"Oh well. That's why you're cleaning."

"Precisely like extermination."

The horn mole damages the roots, the pointy beak wears the trunk, and the forest slime melts the trunk and withers the branches.

These three species of monsters out around the forest road were natural enemies of the trees.

It is the first job of a rookie adventurer to keep walking around and hunting even this.

"By the way, how many skill points do you think I got at the moment?

"I knocked three down, so I guess three points?

"Unfortunately, that's one point. The mole and the bird have been knocked down by both of us, so there's no point."

"Eh!"

Skill points are head-crafted in people involved in battle, but decimal places are truncated.

Even if you defeat one three-point monster for two, it's a mechanism that only comes in one point.

However, if the monster is a herd, the total is calculated by dividing it by the number of people.

Defeat a group of two three-point monsters for a total of six points, and they will come in three points each.

That and the training point of the monster is more or less a multiple of five, so it's because of the large number of five people at the party.

"Hmm, that's a tough story."

Three in three hours, the best you can do is walk around all day and earn a single digit.

It will take more than two hundred days to calculate the skill to level two with simple calculations, even if you continue to exorcise without a break.

And it is without anyone's help.

Thora was now struck hard by Thor's patience and what he had accomplished.

"Tor is so cool after all..."

"We'll get back to it. So far, I've found it inefficient to be a pair around the forest road."

"Yeah, I got it."

"I'm going to go a little further back there."

"Oh, are you moving on!

I was going to tour the forest road for another couple of days, but since Sola was better than I expected, Thor decided to speed up his plans.

While caution is important in adventure, the decision not to miss an opportunity is also important.

Plus, the mole and bird opponent will soon be over, so Tor can't practice using < restore > in the middle of battle.

It is only until the midpoint of the forest that the development of the Little Ghost Forest is in progress.

Beyond that, in the back of the woods, things change and even during the day are depressing and dim, and the monsters that appear change.

And it was also a hunting ground for adventurers who partied.

"Is the water still there?

Half a dozen.

"Have you finished pissing?

"I just left."

"How's it going?

"Yeah, impeccable!

In Sora's eyes, who answers well, the imposition has not come to mind.

I don't think it's my first day. I'm energetic.

"So if you rest for about thirty minutes and complete your magic, you're going to meet the people who came from the name of this forest."
