The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

It was A bit Misleading

“Shall we have a meal?”

Now that the traps were set, my plans for the day were over.

All that’s left was to spend some quality time with Ciel, and to deal with my previous memories, which I’ve been putting off for a while now.

I was going to have to get a good grasp of the situation.

It affected not only the way I handle the herbs, but also the way I cook.

Rattler-san and his friends were kind enough not to ask me any questions.

But that doesn’t mean that the people I will meet in the future will be the same way.

If I don’t think of an excuse in case of an emergency, I will dig my own grave.

“Which way is the river?”

If I want to take a break, I need a place where I can relax.

The riverside is my favorite place because of its good visibility.

So, I decided to look for the river, but I forgot to check the location of the river on the map.

Oh well.

Gururu.

I looked at Ciel, who purred, and she started to walk deeper into the forest.

Is she going to tell me where the river is? 

“Is the river that way?”

“Nyan.”

Ciel is very smart, after all.

I walk through the forest with Ciel in the lead.

I search for signs of people, but none seemed to be in the area.

I can faintly sense the presence of a beast, but they don’t approach from a certain distance, perhaps because Ciel is nearby.

“With Ciel around, it’s safe in the forest, isn’t it?”

“Pu~pupu~”

Sora responds, perhaps feeling the same way.

Sora jumps up and down.

She is jumping around a little too vigorously and is hitting some branches, but she doesn’t seem to mind at all.

She seems to be in a good mood.

“Oh, it’s the river!”

I see the river glistening in the sunlight.

Heading out to the riverside, I found a tree nearby with berries growing on it.

From the shape of its leaves and berries, it seemed to be the kind of tree that bears sweet and sour berries, which I like.

“Sora, is that tree fruit edible?”

“Pu~”

Sora’s reply draws me closer to the tree.

When I was deciding, how to respond to Ciel, I also decided on one way to respond to Sora.

I asked Sora to only make a “Pu~” sound when she agrees with what I was asking.

However, this was only when no one was around, so it would only be done in places like the forest.

Still, the easy-to-understand answers were very useful.

I climbed the tree and harvested the berries into my magic bag.

I was able to harvest a certain number.

I climb down the tree and look around.

I found another tree a little further away that was bearing fruit.

However, I had never seen this tree before.

Is it safe to eat them? 

Sora is hopping around the tree, so the tree seems to be OK.

As I approached the tree, I noticed that its branches were full of berries.
