I used my ranger survival knowledge to build a filtration device.
Normally this kind of device takes a tremendous amount of time to get water.
However, the filtration system, with a quality level of over 30, purified the water as fast as spring water.
The young animals are given a cup full of water to drink.
He tried to put his face into the cup, but I restrained him with words and my hand.
“‘Wait, wait, little ones first, there’s plenty of mud here, we’ll make as much water as we can, don’t panic.”
Then the animals began to drink the water in turn.
I pat him on the head and say, “All right, all right, you’re doing great.”
When I can get water like I always have, I’ll hunt and eat these animals and use them as tools for pioneering.
It seems kind of weird to give them water and keep them alive when you might eventually kill them. ……
But that’s okay.
I don’t want to see animals dying because the principal or vice principal got involved in a playful way to make me suffer.
If you’re going to die the same way, you’d rather be hunted down and die as someone’s flesh and blood than die in a heap without being of any use to anyone.
It’s still the same act of killing, and it may be hypocritical, but that’s how I see it.
I noticed that the animals were lined up waiting for their turn to drink water.
I didn’t train-tame them, and I have a ‘charm’ parameter of 1. ……
“Well, it looks like they’ve grown quite attached to me during our journey to find a watering hole.”

Leopin’s work of giving water to animals was a target of ridicule.
“Muhohohoho, I’m so thirsty that I’m giving precious water to useless animals ……!”
“If I were smart, I’d keep the water to myself!
I’m sure watching the animals drink water while the river dries up and looking so miserable is exceptional!”
“Ahhh, I knew that piece of trash was just a dropout to be put in a ‘special training class’!”
“Water is a precious commodity in the frontier, but you can’t give it to animals!”
Most of those present were cynical.
Some of the ladies, however, were crying.
“Ugh …… leo kun …… how kind …… you are!”
“I can’t believe you care more about the animals in the forest than you do about yourself. ……!”
Up until now, there were only a few people who recognized Leopin, who could be counted on the fingers of both hands.
But here comes a change.
“Look ……, Leopin is giving water to the animals ……!”
“You’re supposed to be thirsty yourself, but you’re putting animals first. ……!”
“Now I think I know why Leopin-kun tamed our animals and Weiss’ Black Panther: ……!”
Leopin’s actions had deeply impressed …….
Yes, they were trainer’s.
They praise him with every word.
“Leopin, you’re the epitome of a Tamer ……!”
“I was wrong about …… Leopin. ……!”
“I said some awful things to Leopin-san in class …….”
“Next time I see you, I’ll have to apologize. ……!”
“Leopin-san, will you forgive me ……?”
It’s a tiny little hope in their hearts.
It’s only the size of a needle hole now, but once it’s open, it’s never going to close again.
Yeah ……!
This was the moment when Leopin’s actions clearly took root in the hearts of his classmates. ……!

After I finished rationing water to the animals, my clothes were completely covered in mud.
Brushing off the mud with my hands, we made our way along the dried-up river.
After a while, a large valley lay ahead.
The soil of the cliffs was damp and the wind blowing up from the bottom was cool and chilly.
I have a hunch.
“Here …… is the main stream, and I’m sure there’s a place up ahead that’s impounded!
Everybody, let’s get down there and move on!”
I slide down the steep cliff with the animals.
As usual, the bottom was muddy, and I rolled around in a heap.
Me and the animals are finally covered in mud all over.
However, it was even harder from here.
With mud dripping from every part of my body, I set off upstream …….
