Chapter 29

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The next morning, I felt the presence of a beast coming from outside the shed. Bringing my sword and bow with me, I went outside. I circled around the shed with my bow ready.

It turned out, it wasn’t a monster but an ordinary deer. The deer had gotten caught in the ankle snare trap, unable to move. I immediately captured my prey and hung it up on a tree to drain the blood and dismantled it. Freshness was the life of a liver so I immediately ate it.

Yeah. Delicious.

It’d be great if I could have sesame oil and salt with me. For breakfast, I had deer steak from the deer I had just caught. As for the meat I couldn’t eat now, I pickled them with salt to make dried meat out of it.

Now then. I’ve finished eating breakfast so let’s go out to forage again today.

I was thinking of going toward the direction of the forest today. However, since I recently had encountered a strong opponent like a kobold fighter, I was moving cautiously and prepared to run the moment I encountered an enemy that seemed impossible for me to defeat. 

While hunting slimes and other small fries, I focused on collecting plants I hadn’t appraised yet and the herbs I already knew.

Suddenly, something that looked like a stone statue caught my attention. Upon closer inspection, this stone statue was a goblin stone statue, and was very well made.

Wait. Or rather, could this be… A petrified goblin instead?

Cold sweat broke out in my forehead.

GIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

A high pitched shrill could be heard. It was obviously the cry of a monster. I crouched down out of fear, advancing toward the source of the voice cautiously. And then… There it was. I saw a strange looking monster.

From its appearance alone, the monster looked like a chicken. It was very big, about 5 meters tall and had the tail of a snake. It seemed the monster hadn’t noticed me yet and so I hid myself behind a tree and tried to appraise it but all I got was a plain ‘monster’ without any additional information.

However, I already knew what type of monster this was. It was a cockatrice, a classic monster that often appeared in RPGs. It was supposedly a powerful monster that could petrify its opponent and had a poisonous breath. With my back against a tree, I tried to calm myself down. And then I….

My apologies but I ran away. That was the best thing I could do. I left my carrier in the shade of a tree and ran away with all of my might. Snots and tears were dripping down my face as I ran as if my life was depending on it. 

Hey, you. Yes, you. Do you think YOU can take down that kind of a monster with a mere shortsword? Well, my apologies but that kind of feat is simply impossible for me. 

Once again, I made a dash to my shed. I locked the door and hid under the cover, taking refuge in the safety of my shed.

 ◇◇◇

As I was hugging my herb chicken while hiccuping as tears and snots were still running down my face to heal my wounded heart, I heard someone knocking at the door of the shed.

No one’s home.

I ignored the knock but the other person was more persistent. 

Just who is it? How annoying.

Since it couldn’t be helped, I finally relented and opened the door. There stood Sarasa. Sarasa’s gentle voice resounded in my broken heart. By the time I realized it, I was already clinging to Sarasa while crying. Sarasa looked surprised at first but she then started to stroke my head without saying anything.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

T/N: What a perfect timing! But I think Sarasa and Margo often come to MC’s place at this point already? ╰(o´▽`o)ノ

    Did he seriously eat the liver? After all, he could have been infected with trichinosis! When you hunt venison, it is to the vet that you give the liver just to test for the presence of trichinella. Our protag in truth is not afraid of death and plays roulette with the devil.
