Chapter 223 (1/2)

Bamboo Shoots

After a while of searching for herbs, Feat and Bolt returned.

(Niisama, there was a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain on the opposite side of the city.)

”Ohh!”

It seems that there was a bamboo thicket nearby.

”It's close!”

(Yes, we are going right away, right? Come, get on.)

Feat told me to get on her back.

Allen and Elena were already on Joule and ready to go.

I think I heard that bamboo shoot digging is better done early in the morning. Luckily, we started our activities early this morning, so there should be no problems?

”Then, I will be in your care, Feat.”

(Wah~ wait~ Niichan, look at my accomplishments~ Look at these Rocksnakes I got~)

”… Ah.”

As I got on Feat's back, I heard Vector's crying voice.

The herbs were handed to me every time the children found some so they were already stored in the Infinite Storage, but the Rocksnakes were still stacked on the ground. I totally forgot about them.

Moreover, because I let Vector do as he likes, the number of Rocksnake corpses increased even more, creating a little mountain.

(These guys might be small, but they are quite tasty! They are easy to eat too!)

Vector must have thought that we were leaving him behind as he was hardly emphasizing the taste of the Rocksnakes.

”Sorry, sorry. Thank you, Vector.”

(Ugh~ that surprised me~)

”Let's eat them the next time with everyone. I will make whatever you like that time.”

(… I would like a large serving.)

”Haha, roger that!”

I got down from Feat's back, apologized while stroking Vector's head, stored the Rocksnakes in the Infinite Storage, and promised him a large serving to apologize for startling him.
