Chapter 3 – Hourly Wage of Thousand YenAbout 5 minutes after I left Kash, I arrived at the forest. As soon as I arrived at the forest, the white point and the green point on the map overlapped.
When I looked at my feet, there was obviously a different type of gra.s.s that was growing there. What are the gra.s.s that is growing in this vicinity? I pulled it out of the ground to check it.
When I imagined an inventory, the gra.s.s suddenly disappear and entered into frame of an inventory.
INV: Medical Herbs – 4
It’s such a convenient function.
But.. I only picked up 1 herb, so how come I have 4 right now?
What happened? Does 1 medical herb gra.s.s equal 4 medical herbs?
I try to put a small medicinal herb gra.s.s of nearly the same type as before into the inventory.
INV: Medicinal Herbs – 6
I see. Is it the number of leaves? The first herb gra.s.s that I collected had 4 leaves so it counted as 4, while the last one had 2 leaves, so it counted as 2?
It is possible to collect this in a bundle. First, let’s try to verify how much I can possibly stack in my inventory. so let’s continue collecting.
I have been triumphantly picking up the herbs for about 30 minutes before I became exhausted.
INV: Medicinal Herbs – 80
Because this is 800 copper, does it become 8 silver? It’s hard to keep kneeling in a position for a long period of times, but it’s very easy way to earn money when you are a low ranked adventurer!
When I was calculating the money, when I heard a sound behind me.
There is something there! Is it possibly a monster?
When I took a dagger out of a sheath, a brown creature of around 40 centimeters in length came out in-between the trees and plants. At the place that I heard the sound when I turned around I was holding the dagger cautiously.
Wild Rabbit Level 1
The second our eyes met, we threw our self at each other instantaneously.
*stab
The rabbit stuck it’s head on the dagger, and immediately died.
[Eh!? What this!? Self skewer!]
Ahahaha, That was foolish? It came out and killed itself without permission.. what…? Even though I didn’t do anything.
However, after laughing at the situations when I calmed down, I grew a little pale when I saw the blood splatter.
A sense of guilt for killing an animal is big even when I calm down after I laughed.
In addition, the monster of the game should drop material, and this fellow is just dead. Is it not a monster after all?
That means … “Hey, it is wonderful. Holding, – ‘ with it becomes instant to kill the animal which it flies. (TN: ということは、“きゃー素敵。抱いてー”と飛んできた動物を瞬殺してしまったことになる。)
However, rather than having it jumped into my chest and attacking me.
I wonder if I should consider it a pest rather than an animal, in fact there was quest of exterminating it, and is treated as a monster rather than an animal?
I was looking at the dead body, but nothing happens.
If I leave the corpse more monsters might arrive due to the smell of blood, plus could sell the meat at the adventure guild later so let’s put in the inventory for now.
INV: Medical herb 80, Rabbit’s meat 1, Rabbit’s skin 1
I see. When it isn’t put in my inventory, it doesn’t become an item! But with this I know that a rabbit is a monster! This is good!
Even if it isn’t a monster, there is a possibility that it can become an item, but if so, I lose. There is no helping it.
If I had let that fellow jump into my chest, and if was careless I would have been killed by it!
The rabbit is a monster. Well, it is decided.
So I continued to use the dagger, to collect the remaining herbs.
Several rabbit attacked me as I was gathering the herbs, but this time without hestiating I killed them because know that I know they are monsters, it is possible to subdue them without worrying.
Well, I only stab you and.(TN: だって、刺すだけだし。)
And I noticed the meat doesn’t drop as much as the skin does, this mean that every time I kill them I have a 100% chance to get skin but not the meat. This information also very useful.
In addition, when I was wondering around the vicinity picking the medical herbs for another 30 minutes.The number of possession of medical herbs finally exceeded 99. That’s when I noticed that I have reached the limit of how much I can have in a stack.
INV: Medical herb 99, Medical herb 2, Rabbit’s meat 3, Rabbit’s skin 10
It seems to be able to stack up to 99 as expected. I have collected approximately 100 pieces in one hour. When I think about it, isn’t it a hourly wage of 1,000 yen.
I have defeated about 10 wild rabbits, to confirm it I checked the status.

From time to time, when I was killed the with wild rabbits, I would get hurt a little. But collecting the medical herbs in itself was very simple.
The result of spending several hours collecting the medical herb was very good Because night was approaching, I should be heading back to the town.
When I reached the gate at last, I was welcomed by Kash.
[Yea, It seems that you came back safely. And you aren’t injured? Were you able to proctect yourself with the dagger that I gave you?]
While saying so Kash pat my shoulder.
I greeted him properly, then showed him my ID card.

[If there is that something in trouble, you should come and consult with me?]
[Okay]
As usual Kash, he was worried about me. He is a very caring fellow. Thank you, the joke is not interesting. (TN: ありがとう! 洒落は面白くないけど。)
