(084) Carol’s shoulder ride

Translator: Tseirp

Arriving at the forest, we searched for prey.

There seemed to be no particularly strong monsters so I decided to train the jobs that I don’t usually train.

【Jobless Lv79‧Apprentice Spearman Lv1‧Magic Journalist Lv1‧Magic Swordsman Lv1‧Artist Lv1]

That was the combination I decided upon. Thanks to that, my status dropped considerably.

Even so, just taking Magic Swordsman into consideration, it is an advanced job that boasts physical attack and defense comparable to a Lv10 Apprentice Swordsman and magic attack and defense comparable to a Lv10 Apprentice Magician.

With that, I would likely not lag behind most opponents.

“At any rate, there are fewer monsters than expected. Marina, there.”

An eagle-sized bird was in the direction I pointed at — Marina aligned her sight and shot it down with a Wind Arrow.

Splendidly only hitting its wing.

Then, to the falling bird,

“「Wind」!”

I attacked with Wind Magic.

The bird’s head fell off.

【Ichinojo Leveled up]

【Apprentice Spearman skill: 「Spear Equip」 acquired]

【Magic Journalist skill: 「Talisman Creation」acquired]

【Magic Swordsman skill: 「Grant Magic」acquired]

【Artist skill: 「Brush Equip」acquired]

【Recipes acquired]

Somehow I acquired various skills.

Although there are few that would be immediately useful.

The recipe was the recipe for a Magic Journalist.

Magic Journalists are able to use the exclusive ink made by Herbalist to create talismans.

The talismans that I can create now are Ignition Talismans. They are talismans that will burn after a certain duration.

I thought that it would be useful for creating time bombs.

“The 3 of you, please let me know when you want to change your jobs. However, judging by this hunting pace, we might not gather our target amount of meat.”

Our target amount of meat was 200kg.

However, a single bird is less than 1kg.

Without a head, there wasn’t any more need to bleed the bird so I stored the bird’s corpse into my item bag.

If it goes on like this, it might be good as long as we gather half of the target amount.

“Er, Ichino-sama, should we break into 2 teams?”

“2 teams?”

“Yes. Fortunately, both Ichino-sama and Marina-san are proficient in ranged attacks while both Ichino-sama and Haru-san have monster searching abilities. Hence, we should split into 2 teams with Haru-san and Marina-san for 1 team and Ichino-sama and me for the other. I won’t really be of use but I think I will be able to harvest fruits and edible plants as a Harvester.”

Certainly, I can’t really expect to level up much here so maybe she’s right.

“That sounds good. That’s right, why don’t we make it a competition since we’re at it? Carol and I will be one team, Haru and Marina another team, a competition where our 2 teams split up and compete. Let me see, I’ll to listen to anything the winners say.”

Even so, Haru and Carol probably won’t really be interested in that.

Since they are not greedy.

Maybe the one who will try the hardest would be Marina?

When I thought so, Carol’s widened her eyes and Haru’s tail stood up straight.

“Anything huh … I see, anything.”

“Anything from Ichino-sama … Ichino-sama! Please follow me! According to my information, there’s apparently a well-kept secret location in this forest ahead of here.”

“Marina-san, please grab onto me! We’ll move above the trees.”

“Eh? Haru? Wait — stop! High places, I am — kyaaaaaaa!”

Haru abducted her and they disappeared with the wind along with Marina’s cute scream.

… Eh, they are a lot more motivated than expected?
