Chapter 20 - I Couldn't Find any Herbs

I Couldn’t Find any Herbs

“...Can you really run?”

‘Yes! I may be a scrub, but I’m still a monster!’

And a coward...

Still, it really was a monster and had no trouble running with on its back.

And the speed itself was much faster than when I was on foot.

“I’ll arrive by night at this rate. ...Can you keep up this pace?”

‘If it’s at this speed, I can do it all day!’

The Proud Wolf said. Then it started to run even faster.

Perhaps it was still worried that I would kill it.

“...Don’t push yourself too hard.”

‘Un-understood!’

The Proud Wolf said, but did not slow down at all as it continued towards the mountains.

And then...it beca evening.

‘We...arrived! So please don’t kill ...’

Hmm. It really had been worried after all.

But I didn’t have any intention of doing that.

“Thank you. ...What do you want to do now? I can search for a different monster to get back, so you can leave now...”

‘No, I will go with you!’

“...Does that an you’ll take back?”

‘Of course! Besides, I’ll be safer from other monsters if I’m with soone strong like you!’

...Hmm.

It was as shaless as ever. But if I got a free ride ho, then it was sothing to be thankful for.

“Alright. Then you can co with .”

I said as I put the sli on my shoulder and started to walk with the Proud Wolf.

According to the guild, the Dria plants grew sowhere in this area.

However, I couldn’t find anything that resembled them.

And so I decided to ask the sli.

“Hey, do you know where these Dria flowers can be found?”

‘Hmm...I don’t know. I’ll try asking!’

“Asking?”

‘Yes.’

So saying, the sli got off of my shoulder and then split into random sized slis before spreading out into the forest.

...After a while, I used Shared Senses and saw another sli in my vision.

It wasn’t one of my tad slis, but a stranger.

They had said they would ask...which I guess ant the local slis.

Well, I didn’t know much about how slis interacted, but I thought I would let them do their thing.

‘Hello!’

‘Hello!’

Greetings were first.

I didn’t know slis did that.

‘Let’s go to Yuji. It’s nice and safe. And there’s food!’

And then sli imdiately started inviting the other sli.

But the other sli didn’t even know who I was.

As for food, they were just eating monsters we killed or grass from around the place.

It would clearly reject this offer—

‘Okay!’

Or so I thought. For so reason, the sli agreed.

After a few minutes, my sli and the local sli returned.

And just as they entered my vision, there was a ring and a window popped up.

—————————————————-

‘Monster: You have tad a Sli.’

—————————————————-

Slis were too easy...

They had no sense of caution at all.

...Well, at least I got the help of a local now.

“Hey, do you know about Dria flowers? They look like this.”

I said as I drew one in the dirt.

I was not very good at drawing, and so it looked a little deford.

But hopefully, it was good enough.

‘I know that!’

...My prayers had been answered.

“Oh. Do you know where I can find them?”

‘They used to grow around here...’

“Used...to?”

What did it an by that?

“Do you an that there aren’t anymore?”

‘Yes. They are all gone now!’

...Damn it.

I ca all this way here for nothing...?

If I rember correctly, if you fail a quest, there is a penalty and it becos harder to raise your rank...?

That would be...very bad.

“Uh, do you know of any other places where they are growing?”

‘Hmmm...there were. But they are all gone now.’

...All gone.

Was this due to so king of abnormal weather?

As I considered this, another sli returned with another local sli.

From what I could see, it had already persuaded it, and the Taming finished just as it entered my sight.

...And like that, the easy slis kept gathering around one by one.

However, none of them knew where any Dria flowers were growing...

It was just as I was giving up when a certain new sli said sothing interesting.

‘Oh, I know the reason that there are no more Dria flowers!’

“...The reason?”

‘Yes! Should we go et the Dryad?”

...Dryad?

It sounded like Dria flower...so maybe this person was related to it sohow.
