Chapter 70: CH 70

I dragged Tom with me and bravely walked into the forest.

Then, in the heat of the moment, I activated the “Dexterous Job Change” skill of the “Poor Dexterity”.

This forest was already like my own garden, as I used it to procure food and materials.

However, when I looked at it from a bird’s eye view as a mapper, I found many new discoveries.

“There’s an animal path in the bushes. I’ve been coming and going around here a lot, but I hadn’t noticed it at all. I wonder what’s up ahead. ……?”

The path, which was barely big enough for one person to pass through, was divided into several branches.

I took a random path and found a rabbit’s nest with baby rabbits playing inside.

I didn’t want to scare them off, so I quietly took a different path.

The animal path was quite complicated and maze-like, but I made some unexpected discoveries.

Along the way, I came across a dark place where trees were stacked on top of each other, and I found a flower half buried in the ground.

“Could this be Yorutsumekusa ……?” (Night Sagina japonica) (The problem is this was written on katakana XD)

==========

Yorutsumekusa

Quantity 1

Quality Level 16 (Material Level 16)

Wild Yorutsumekusa. It grows in the dark forest and hides in the soil during the day.

It can be used for alchemy and as medicinal herbs.

==========

“Yorutsumekusa doesn’t come out of the ground until nighttime. You’re lucky to find it in the daytime.”

This was one of the materials Akemi had asked me for, so I quickly collected it.

As we continued along the path, we came to a place where both sides of the bushes were stained red like they were on fire.

“Oh no, I didn’t know burned grass grew here. ……”

==========

Scabiosa Japonica

Quantity 1

Quality level 7 (Material level 7)

Wild Scabiosa Japonica. If you touch it with bare skin, you will get a rash like a burn.

Can be used for alchemy and medicinal herbs.

==========

“If I’d gone through this with no knowledge of plants, I’d have been in big trouble. But I’m getting what I was asked to get.”

I tucked my hand into the sleeve of my coat and pulled out the “Scabiosa”, avoiding direct contact.

I carefully tucked it into my pocket and continued on my way until I came to a familiar place.

“Oh, we’re at the pond. If we take the shortest route, it will be much faster than the route through the mushroom field. I think I found a shortcut.”

I recalled the route I had taken so far and wrote a rough outline on my clipboard.

Thanks to my absolute memory skill, I can remember the route I took clearly.

All I need to do now is to put it on paper with my “Planar Mapping” skill and I’ll be on my way.

“I’ve got a map of the pond. And it has the locations of rare materials and shortcut routes. It’s a great way to find out what’s out there. …… It’s kind of fun, like a treasure hunt.”

“Well, let us have some fun, too.”

A few boys came from the direction of the mushroom field and called out to me.

They were wearing leather armor, so they looked like warriors.

They were unfamiliar to me, but their attitude was very friendly.

“We came here to look for mushrooms, but we don’t know which ones are edible.”

“Hey, why don’t you try some of the mushrooms we picked?”

“What’s with you guys?”

“What’s with the rebellious attitude? We’re at the top of the class, remember? We’re gods to the bottom class, the Special Training Class.”

“Or do you have a weakness for us, like Monaka-sama and Kotone-sama? Then let’s see it, huh?”

This isn’t the first time I’ve been unreasonably tangled up with someone, but it seems like it’s getting worse.

Perhaps my description is circulating in the living quarters.

“I don’t like his attitude! He’s a failure, but he acts like he can do everything by himself!”

“You can’t do anything without your drugs!”

“Let’s just knock him out and show you what we’re made of!”

“Oh, yeah, and then I’ll force you to eat mushrooms!”

“Yes, yes! Then we’ll know what mushrooms we can eat and Monaka-sama and Kotone-sama will be happy, two birds with one stone!”

I was puzzled.

If I change my occupation to a fighting occupation, I won’t be behind these guys.

However, as soon as I fought them, the effects of my absolute memory would wear off.

I would forget the structure of the animal path I had just taken.

“Hmm, but I can’t turn my back on them…”

“What the hell are you whispering about?”

“It’s too late to apologize!”

“Come on, cry it out!”

The boys attacked me with their fists in the air.

I thought I was finally going to get hit, but just before they hit me, they were blown backwards as if they had been hit by a blast.

“Hiii— Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?!?!”

Their gazes were fixed on my thighs.

When I looked, I saw the black panther Tom who seemed to have slipped out of my shadow and was growling, “Grr~”.

That reminds me that I had a reliable bodyguard.

The boys fell back on their haunches, flapping their legs.

“Hiii— Hiiii!! Black panther!”

“He’s really got a black panther!”

“When I heard the rumor, I thought it was a big black cat or something, but ……?”

“I can’t believe it’s real. ……!”

“Oh, don’t panic! It’s just a hallucination we’re having! And once you know that, you won’t be afraid!”

But when Tom opened his mouth, the boys screamed as if their throats had been ripped out.

“Gyaaaaaa!! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!”

Then, on all fours, they ran off in a desperate attempt to escape.

I call out to them.

“Hey, there’s a pond behind you, you better watch out …….”

Immediately after, there was a big splash!　

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Help me! Help me, help me, help me, help me!”

“What the hell? I’m sinking, I’m sinking, I’m sinking!”

“I’m drowning! I’m drowning! I’m drowning!”

The boys were up and down, floating and sinking, struggling.

“Oh dear, don’t you know how to swim when you’re wearing your gear?”

I could have left them alone, but the animals that had come to drink from the pond looked annoyed.

“I might drink this water if it comes to that. …… I don’t want it to get any dirtier than it already is.”

I threw a large branch from a nearby tree as a lifesaving rope.
