The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

“Go home today.
Don’t run away to drink.
If you drink too much, you’ll get into trouble.”

 

At the shopkeeper’s words, the two looked at each other and then exhaled heavily.

 

“You’re right, we probably shouldn’t drink.”

 

“…Aah.”

 

“Hey, really, don’t drink.
I’ll come over to your house later to check on you.
I’ll beat the shit out of you if you’re drinking.”

 

“Haha, okay.
Sorry for the trouble.”

 

The two of them look depressed, but a little refreshed.

 

Perhaps they were able to vent their feelings and have a little bit of space to breathe.

 

The two finally seemed to notice my presence, and after a small apology, they left the restaurant.

 

“Sorry, kid.
Are you all right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Do you know who Count Faltoria is?”

 

“Yes.
I talked to him once.”

 

“I see.
He’s a very popular man in this town, that’s why they’re a little confused.”

 

“I see.”

 

Sadness flashed across the shopkeeper’s face.

 

I was sure he believed Count Faltoria, too.

 

“I told the two of them that way, but I’m still not convinced myself.
No, I believe in the vigilante.
But I’ve got my doubts about whether they’re real or not.”

 

“…I think that’s fine.”

 

“Nn?”

 

“You can doubt until you are convinced.
Doubt is not a bad thing.”

 

That’s right.

 

If you are not convinced, then doubt.

 

One should investigate the evidence gathered by the vigilante to see if it is true.

 

Until they were convinced.

 

“I see.”

 

“Yes, that’s right.
You can question and investigate until you’re convinced.”

 

“I see.
That’s right.”

 

The owner looked a little surprised, then laughed.

 

Did I say something funny? 

 

“Haha, you’re funny, kid.
Oh, that’s right, investigate until convinced.
But my bad, I also went off on a tangent with the two.”

 

“Don’t mind it.”

 

“Alright, if you ever hunt again, I’d appreciate it.
I’d be happy to buy from you, since it would cost extra to send a request to the guild.”

 

“Understood.
I’ll do my best to bring you good meat.”

 

“Oh, that’s great.”

 

The owner of the store smiled, somewhat refreshed.

 

He seemed to feel a little better after talking with me.

 

I’m glad.

 

“Well then, I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again.”

 

After bowing lightly, I left the store.

 

As I head to the square, I surveyed the town as a whole.

 

People’s faces were filled with sadness and confusion.

 

Some of them seem to be crying over their drinks at a store.

 

“Ah.”

 

There seemed to be a crowd of people in the stores on the way to the square.

 

When I turned to look, I saw that a group of men had gathered and were loudly arguing with each other.

 

I stopped and looked to see what was going on so as not to get caught in it.

 

If there was a problem, I would evacuate, as Seizerk-san and the others had suggested.

 

As I watched them for a while, then I saw the vigilantes approaching them at a brisk pace.

 

I hoped that would calm them down.

 

“Ivy, are you okay?”

 

I suddenly heard a voice from behind me, and my body trembled.

 

I turned around in a hurry and saw Rickbert-san with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you…”

 

“Oh, nope.
I’m fine.
What are you doing here?”

 

“I’m on my way home from Guild Master’s errand.”

 

Guild Master-san sent you.

 

“Oh, it looks like things have calmed down.”

 

Following Rickbert-san’s gaze, I looked at the place where the commotion was.

 

It seems to have calmed down with the arrival of the vigilante.

 

“There seems to be a small problem, but it looks like everything is okay.”

 

I was relieved to hear Rickbert-san’s words.

 

“He’s already been escorted away by the Knights.”
