Michio-sama, youre more than welco to stay here for tonight if you want. Well prepare the best feast possible to show you our gratitude.
The Village Chief told that while we were eating breakfast, which consisted of oatal with salad and cheese. I cant say it was the best I have ever had, but all in all it wasnt that bad either. If we assu that this is the absolute bottom tier when it cos to food quality and that it can only go up more civilized cities, then I think I wont have any problems adapting to living in this world, at least as long as the food is concerned.
From what the Chief said I think it is safe to assu that dinner is going to be on the more luxurious side, fitting for a hero who saved the village from the Bandit attack. Nothing was said about lunch. It is possible that I am biased based on my current lifestyle where I always had three als a day, but it looks like in this world the standard is two als a day: breakfast and dinner.
Thank you very much. Allow to take you up on your kind offer.
Also, about your plans for tomorrow, the rchant said that his carriage is going to be departing for the city of Veil early in the morning. If you plan on going with him, then I suggest you to go to sleep early tonight.
Exactly how long will the journey to Veil take?
About three hours by carriage.
The biggest question now is whether or not three hours here are the sa as the three hours back in my old world. If I assu that they are, then I can do the following calculation: if we were to depart for Veil at around 8:00 AM then we would arrive at our destination at around 11:00 AM. If the rchant wants to wrap everything up in a day trip, he would have to leave the city by 3:00 PM to return to the village by 6:00 PM, aning that the total ti he would be spending in the city would be around four hours. He said he was going to restock on food and basic supplies, so I think that shouldnt take him very long to finish? Cause if we were able to return here before it gets dark, then maybe Ill have so free ti to go fishing.
Then I shall do just like you suggest.
Wonderful. I will be sure to relay the ssage to the rchant.
With that settled, what should I do until tomorrow? Just sitting idly by would most definitely be counterproductive, so it would be nice if I could maybe find myself a spot to hunt so mobs in order to increase my level as much as possible.
If I may ask, are there any mobs around this village?
Mobs? Could you perhaps be talking about monsters?
Ahh, yeah. Thats right. Monsters. Are there any monsters around here?
Note to self: Monsters, not Mobs. Gotta keep my player habits in check if I want to avoid making everybody needlessly suspicious of .
Well, I guess there are Slow Rabbits in the depths of the forest not far from here.
Slow Rabbits? Ive never fought them before.
The na suggested that they are weak as shit, but my gut was telling that I shouldnt be overly confident just yet. Maybe its one of those cases where the na is deceitful, masking the monsters true strength?
All right now, Village Chief. Ti to make you spill so more beans for !
What kind of a monster are they, exactly? Those Slow Rabbits, I an.
Oh, they are relatively harmless because they tend to distance themselves from any human settlents and even in direct combat they are not much of a threat.
Oh, is that so? Good to know.
Lucky ! Looks like Ill be able to grind with relative ease if they really are so weak. They will serve as a good way to pass the ti and who knows, maybe Ill also be able to farm so items that Ill be able to sell for a nice prize?
Yes, that should be my current mindset. No use worrying that I might not be able to go back to Japan for now. Instead, I should focus all of my energy into securing a relatively stable situation for myself and Ill definitely need a clear head on my shoulders for that.
As expected of an Adventurer! Even though they are hardly worth the effort, youll still get out of your way to hunt them to keep the village safe from their nace!
Dude I think youre reading too much into it. Also, why have you reacted by shouting like that?
If they are as weak as you describe them to be, then is it really a reason to be getting so emotional over them?
Y-Yes, of course they are.
Uh-huh, okay, keep going
Even the Villagers can defeat one if they assault it in a group.
Hey. What was that? It took several of you to defeat just one Rabbit?! How is that no, Michio, keep your cool about you. Rember, gather information first, be a judgental prick later.
What about the drops? Did it left anything behind when you killed it?
Well we did managed to salvage the Rabbits Fur out of it.
I see.
Does that an its fur is a drop item or sothing they salvaged manually by skinning it? It would be nice if it was the forr.
What is it, Michio-sama? Is there any problem with hunting those monsters?
My doubts must have shown on my face, because the Chief asked in a worried tone.
No, everythings fine.
Although I really wished it wasnt.
That was another dilemma for . Should I really go for it? Will I, a low-level character be able to defeat monsters that higher level villagers had to gang up on to defeat just a single one? Then again, if I really want to live in this world as its full-fledged denizen, Ill have to eventually venture into the wild and start hunting monsters myself. I have no guarantee that this Slow Rabbit is really easy to defeat, but if I decide to do it after all then the sooner I take care of it the better.
I have no idea if I can even go back to the Japan I know and even if I could, I dont know if I want to go back to the shitty life I had there. And, objectively speaking, how much worse can this world be compared to my own. The risk of imminent death? Sure its unpleasant, but everyone will die eventually. Ironically, Ive found my way into this world thanks to a suicide website. I wanted to end my own life, so what difference does it make if I do it myself or with the assistance of so random monster? I have literally nothing to lose, so I might as well go check those Slow Rabbits out.
All right, I think I will go check out those monsters now. It wont be a problem as long as I return here in ti for dinner, right?
As long as I use my Durandal, things shouldnt go south too quickly, and if they do, I can always tuck my tail between my legs and run. I stood up from my chair and started heading towards the door, when the Chief called out to again.
Michio-sama. Actually, so of our village youths want to hunt the Slow Rabbits as well. If at all possible, would it be all right for them to join you in your venture to the woods?
You an go for a hunt together with them?
If they go with you, I have no doubt that they are going to have a good experience.
Damn, what do I do now?
It would definitely be safer if I had more people with . But
With all due respect, but I think it would be better if I went alone. I have never fought a Slow Rabbit before, so if worse ca to worst I dont know if Id be able to keep all the others out of harms way.
Now that I think about it, youre right. How wise of you to think about our youths well-being, Michio-sama!
There was that, but I also had another reason for turning his request down.
At my current level I am weak, even if one of my weapons is OP as heck, so if one of the guys who went with died a grueso death it would be possible that the family or close friends of the deceased would want to take responsibility for that, and since this village has adopted a slavery system, I concluded it is in my best interest to avoid such situations at all costs. Im not risking any chances of becoming a slave because of sobody elses stupidity, oh hell no!
