The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

Ciel purrs and grabbed Sora with her mouth and started walking in a different direction.

 

Sora remained still in her mouth.

 

The sight of her almost made me almost burst in laughter, but I endured it.

 

“Oh, here it is.
Thanks, Ciel.”

 

After following Ciel for a while, I was able to reach the place where the traps were set.

 

I checked the surroundings and was relieved.

 

There didn’t seem to be any footprints of large monsters or animals, so the trap would not have been destroyed.

 

Sora seemed to have been released by Ciel and was hopping around me as if nothing had happened.

 

I wanted to poke her, but I decided not to, because I felt sorry for her.

 

Besides, she would definitely sulk.

 

“Well, have I caught anything?”

 

I set 10 traps.

 

I wondered how many of them were caught. 

 

I checked the traps one by one.

 

“…why?”

 

I looked at all the traps, but nothing was caught.

 

That’s strange.

 

This area was full of footprints of hares and field mice.

 

One of them should have been caught.

 

Did I set the trap in the wrong place? 

 

I checked the footprints and traces around me again.

 

“What? There are not many new footprints.
Did something happen?”

 

Hmmm, too bad.

 

I couldn’t even sell anything, let alone have some for dinner.

 

“Huh, I wonder why, Ciel, do you know?”

 

I looked at Ciel and she was looking around.

 

Was there something going on?

 

I joined her in looking around, but I couldn’t notice anything.

 

I wondered if Ciel and I were seeing things differently. 

 

“Ciel, what’s wrong?”

 

When I called out to her, she moved quickly and moved a little deeper into the forest.

 

I looked at Ciel and wondered what happened.

 

“Fuu, shhh!”

 

“Whoa!”

 

Ciel suddenly raised a threatening screech, causing me to utter a small shriek.

 

The next moment, I heard rustling noises and saw rabbits and field mice running around in a panic.

 

“Eh? What?”

 

The rabbits and field mice ran around for a little while, and after some time they went into hiding somewhere.

 

There were so many of them around here.

 

Hmm? 

 

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a trap.

 

As I approached, I saw two hares in the trap.

 

Could this be it?

 

I look at all the traps again.

 

Eight out of ten traps have a hare and a field mouse.

 

“I see… hunting by the fear?”

 

I looked at Ciel and she looked proud.

 

I didn’t realize that one intimidation could have such an effect.

 

That showed how much of a threat the Adandara was to small animals.

 

I was in a state of confusion.

 

Huh? 

 

Could it be that the reason why they didn’t move after I set the traps was because they sensed Ciel’s presence?

 

Well, that’s possible, right?

 

Maybe they felt a scary presence and didn’t move to see what was going on.

 

I looked at Ciel.

 

Her tail was wagging happily when she saw the trapped hare.
