Chapter 4: Encounter

「Ernea、if you’re free then go to the Forest of Dragons and get sos that looks like it can be used as firewood」

That was said to 、I was driven out of our house by Mom。

The dill that our house uses for cooking is very ih we could substitute it with a flaic stone if we put out a bit oftoo ood so we just use firewood instead。

If we pick up firewood then on’t need to use money。

And we could pick up a dozen of firewood in the Forest of Dragons。

The Forest of Dragons。

It was a very wide forest that already existed even longer than the A it is then from the entrance of the forest which is spread out in the south part of the king’s capital then it would take someone of the least 30 days to reach the lake of the forest。

Since it would take 60 days until one would reach the capital city of the neighboring country Yorutenitosu Kingdoh it would take ti inside the forest of course but still、everyone understands that the size of the forest is in-measurable。

And then soendary ancient dragon lives。

I don’t knohat kind of legend is it since no one has ever encountered that dragon so that’s why no one knohy is it called that way。

The forest of dragons is strictly le small tree was prohibited。

However、the people were free to collect the twigs from a fallen dead tree。

The people could also pick an abundant arounds for hunters too since no monsters didn’t appear there at all。

It would only take le minute to arrive at the forest froh round trips would take s but would I be able to immediately collect firehen I enter the forest so I’ll just go back when it becomes afternoon。

Today is a holiday。I feel that er because of the practice battle arts I go to everyday so I carried the firewood basket on th even for a bit。

Incidentally、Ristia was absent yesterday at school。

Ristia who used up all of his Magical power in the battle against the ghosts see time。

Magical power is necessary for using ic、Sorcery needs Holy power and when they use it until nothing is left then it seems like the user’s body will remarkably weaken。

The weakened body would easily contract illnesses & there are some ould be asleep for several days afterwards too。

Though I didn’t listen to it in the seat study since I’ical power but it seeical power。

By the way、holy poould only stay on a baptized shrine ment of the power of the Goddess who created this world then if it isn’t a trained shrine maiden then would the holy power not be able to stay in her body?

Therefore, the men who are priests don’t have any holy power so they can’t also use sorcery。

Since the one who created this world is a Goddess after all then ht not be suited for it。

It seems like a shrine maiden like Ruiseine doesn’t even understand it even if I asked her。

It was a very 。

I passed through the large gate south of the king capital’sof this and that as I crossed over the wide fields and entered the forest of dragons。

Since I can’t give a clear declaration on which part I was in the forest of Dragons but it seems like I’ve already entered the forest if the trees that surrounded radually is what I feel。

Since this side of the forest is already in direct control of the kingdo up to the people who are obstructing the way into the forest are there too。

In short、no one actually knohere the entrance of the forest is located。Even the kingdom’s officials are not sure of it too。

I lowered my waist in the shade of a handy tree with broad leaves & took a rest for a bit。Since I’ve walked for a long time from my house up to here then I have considerably became tired。

However、this seeth。

Since ays need firewood anyways the this is also an acceptable work for me after school。

The season is still a bit early for su has already ended is what the season for today is。

I kept walking while sweating on my whole body & then the chilly as still a bit pleasant for me。

I drank the water in my flash 3 times & stood up afterwards。

Since I only had a light breakfast so I felt a bit hungry but if I entered the forest a bit then I just planned on eating some of the fruits inside & so I entered the forest some more。

The number of trees has increased bit by bit & the branches of all kinds of trees has for。

The scenery of the the sunshi+ne filtering through the leaves which was tenderly illurounds of the forest had a purity in which you would ask yourself if this really was a place that is near the king’s capital。

I looked up at the trees while wondering if there were soround if there were branches that we could use as firehile advancing inside the forest bit by bit。

Since everyone can indeed see the entrance of the forest i me。

Well、since that is true then I would be alright。

I decided to go inside a bit more with that。

Since I felt that 、I pulled out the sword that I bought within the past days & practiced while walking。

Since I felt that the sword that I borrowed in the school was a bit heavy for 。I purchased it with theup & I used the h quality weapon。

(TLN: This is actually a good but wasted investth of the MC = the money the parents will obtain)

I swingotten about picking up firewood and was in a crazy appearance of slashi+ng my sword。

(TLN: What a weeb…Though I do that too with my assassin’s creed Cane blade too…it’s fun!…kill me)

When inal purpose fof this trip of mine at last。

I just noticed that I’m fairly in the depths of the forest。

The green ceiling was thick & the trees stood close to each other which made it very narrow。

The ground was a bit dah those couldn’t be used as firewood immediately but I only had to make it dry。I decided to collect some firewood in this area。

However、ahead of that。

I buoyantly sat on a moss that seeave me。

Eatingfor fruits here。

When I opened the wrapper of the boxed lunch、there were 2 Rye breads that I ate in thetoo & there were 2 slices of cheese too while there were a small bits of meat in the small container。

Let’s eat。

When I gave a prayer of thanks to an to eat my lunch。

Though the meals of our not affluent household was simplebut our table is always brilliant with ood food。

These bread and cheese were home ’s food。

The soft meat that I put in my mouth melted instantly。

The richness of the cheese which also had a compatibility with the bread in which the salty had a bit of an effect with having no bit of fault。

I subdued everything at once & drank the last containing water in my flask for 2 times。

(TLN: This feels so gay…bla food)

At the place where I moderately satisfied my stomach、I took some firewood。

Since I planned on returning home in the afternoon in reality、I was now fairly late。

While I was gathering firewood in a hurry、I suddenly felt the sign of so。

This also happened when I was practicing in the Ruins exploration last time but my perception is really sharp huh。

I raised s。

Trees and weeds that have overly grown。There were moss in places。

Even if the foilage of the forest shuts out the sunlight、a sht still wrapped the forest so it wasn’t dark。

Was it justup firewood。

At that time。

(TLN: [Ernea: “I realized I’ay for Ristia”] AHAHAHAHAHAHAA)

So moved in the corner of my view。

Whateven if I faced that direction。

My body stiffens because of the tension。

When I pulled out the sword on ilance。

This place is the forest of dragons。I don’t know but monsters don’t come out in this place。

Then、as that thing that I sahile ago。

In hosts that suddenly appeared in the training area crossed my mind。
