Vol 7 Chapter 110 (1/2)
Solo
… Inside the forest
The boys who had run off with the s as they counted the coins
Within the dimly lit trees, the cries of birds created an uncanny air
“Hurry up!”
On the urging of one of the them spoke
“Fifty silver No doubt about it!”
They were funds gathered for the sake of the village And the boys had knohere it had been kept
The adults pressing down on the the balance of the forest, they had resolved to head for more urban lands
The e’s coffers
“Okay, if we’ve got that much, we can make it in the city”
The city… if they ht it would work out one way or another
“It was the perfect chance to part frohty act sure was irritating Even when he wasn’t that great an adventurer at all”
The outsider likely referred to the chief
Fro to spend the rest of his years in that village The adventurers they had pictured in their minds were those who built up estates in the urban districts, and lived elegant lives
“Pops and big bro said it That he was so low class as an adventurer, that we only ever get those frail-looking sorts dispatched here”
While laying out coht as they began thinking up plans for things to come
“Hey, how are we going to leave the village from here? Even if he have money alone, it’s not like that instantly turns into food or equipment”
The three boys all seemed to have the same answer on their minds
“Isn’t it obvious? There’s a perfect place to borrow it from”
They had not the gear to travel
Of course, the ht of was to take Lyle’s party’s equip it
“Taking around so uy That chief as well, hoets such a beaut for a wife That’s definitely where his money went”
Being second and thirds eak standing to begin with, they had grown to dislike their lives in the constrained village
At times they would hear tales of the city’s adventurers fro peddler, and at some point, those stories had entered their dreams
But reality wasn’t so forgiving
While the villagers of Beim were relatively plentiful, they didn’t have much a sum to spend on the independence of a second son
Having long since given up on reclai a field on their hands, the three of them only ever helped in farm work, and hadn’t put a serious effort to it
No fields or houses to be left to the
That if they became adventurers, they believed with baseless confidence that they would win out Of course, it’s also true a large majority of adventurers were as oblivious to the truth as they were
It’s one of the reason the number of reckless adventurers doesn’t ever seem to decrease
“Hey, then what coe will take at least two days, you know”
One of the boys purposefully brought the bag of silver up to eyelevel, and shook it to produce a clattering sound
“If we et that far, we can buy food stock with the on while we’re at it, we’ll be in the city in no time”
With the ie of their independence in a city of dreams on their minds, smiles surfaced over their faces
“Then we’ll infiltrate when night co as we don’t enter the deeper parts of the forest”
As Lyle’s group had started going around the woods, the number of monsters around the entrance had decreased considerably
If they just waited until night, it would work itself out, they thought
“In that case, we’ve some time on our hands”
They divvied up the bread and water they had brought when they fled, and brought it to theiron the hard and dry bread, they looked to the weapons on their waists
“Het, if we collect up soic stones, we can sell theht?”
When one said that, the other two looked turned eye to the sack of silver
It was a fortune from their eyes, but if possible, they didn’t want to have to touch it until they reached their destination
The money hat they’d use to procure equipment as adventurers
So econoear
“… We have the time, so let’s at least earn a meal or two”
And so the boys dove further into the forest…

Having received an additional request from the chief, I examined my equipment and fastened it on to prepare to enter the forest
As I planned to go in alone, Miranda looked over me with a tired expression
“You did indeed accept it, but you don’t have to push yourself to go in now, do you?”
Confirer, and knife- I tucked a robe into
“They’re just loitering around the entrance area, so we should catch them while they’re still there It’ll be troubleso but corpses, after all”
Sarcastically quipping atme
“Take ”
The only ones who could sufficiently move around the forest were Miranda, Aria and Eva the elf But the challenge didn’t really call for that much
“If the three runaways are headed deeper in, I can drag them out And I have Skills on my side”
I held up the Jewel, and Miranda spoke
“… Don’t push yourself Andsoain until you’re ready to say it yourself”
Watching her back as she walked away
(She noticed…)
I scratched my head, and took my hands off the Jewel The Fourth spoke
『Looks like there was no in preparing an environe across』
The Sixth
『Right Not that it has to coht away』
I didn’t think it really o on without explaining it Last tis calm down, I should prepare a time to talk about it
Explain it all properly in order, and make sure they have no doubts on the matter That the Jewel in my hands was different from the one in Celes’…
At that tiht
(So what exactly is different betweenabout … the purpose of a Jewel is to record one’s Skills, isn’t it?)
I shookthe three boys

Entering the forest alone, I could walk around fine due to Eva’s instruction
I wasn’t completely used to it, but withlost, and while avoiding all monsters
Before I had stepped in, the three had begun to proceed deeper
“But it looks like I’ll be able to catch up”
It seeerous area, so I continued pursuing
Thework
It’s proof of just how proficient the Fifth and Sixth’s Skills were
As I followed their trail, I discovered a corpse on the path
It was a Gray Wolf, and perhaps they had given up on reic stones had been stripped
“Terrible”
It’s not that the , their material extraction was terrible They didn’t now the basics
“The fur is actually the highest-selling piece”
If you want to speak of prices, the pelt was the most valuable item on it
Frootten used to an adventurer’s life like me, I could only think it a waste More importantly, what interested me was…
“If they already swiped the money, why do they have to head deeper in? No, in the first place, have they even made preparations for their escape?”
Could it be they had planned this all beforehand, and hidden supplies in the forest’s depths? I really don’t think they thought it through that much
Monsters began gathering around them, and oblivious to that fact, they were huddled around so
“They’re gathered around a beast? It’s a trap!”
The beast had been there fro, but I hadn’t noticed it had been snared in a trap
I ran forward, cutting down the vines and weeds as I hurried on
There…
