…In front of me is the scattered pieces of knife-kun who was my only weapon…

What happened isn’t understood for a moment,

after a few minutes, I was staring at the knife fragments…

And a few minutes after that, my feelings have calmed down a little.

“Seriously, I didn’t think it would break,

no, if I think about it, the knife was already worn-out when I picked it up,

and I fought about 30 rabitts from then,

perhaps it’s not strange for it to break…

or rather, it’s somewhat preferable to not have broken in the middle of a fight.”

I can’t help but feel down.

I take out gra.s.s from the Item Box and place it over the knife’s remains,

and furthermore, one papugo is added.

“This looks like a grave,

thank you worn-out knife,

I don’t know if I could survive without you.”

…Okay,

the knife’s matter is finished with this, see you!

Now to think of what’s next.

“…What about a weapon…”

That’s right, only the weapon has broken.

“I can still attack with magic for the time being,

Fireball has wonderful power, it can probably instantly kill a rabitt with a blow.”

Now that I think about it, what happens with magic when Sign Isolation is used,

will the magic also not be seen, or will only the magic be seen,

I should experiment with the rabitts this time.

“Before that is this sharp tree branch, it’s honestly a bit dodgy as a weapon,

it seems like it might break before piercing into the other party.”

But I’m still a bit nervous not having a main weapon,

for the sake of Sign Isolation I can’t just continuously to use magic,

so it’s come to this after all…

“This forest… I have to leave it…”

It’s probably the only method I have,

for a weapon to conveniently be dropped in such a place,

it likely won’t happen anymore,

so it’s become necessary to go to a village or town to procure the needed weapon.

“Haa… but I really am pleased with this cave…

Well it can’t be helped; it’s for the sake of the future,

okay, since it’s decided I’ll go at once.”

All things needed are placed in the Item Box,

and I left the cave.

Walking for a little while,

I reached the usual spot.

“Fuu… I should take a short break.”

I was a little tired from walking, only a little though, but I decided to have a rest,

a papugo is torn off from the greenery overhead, and it’s bitten.

“Delicious… a stable taste.”

While resting, the thought floated to mind on which direction to go from here.

If I remember correctly, when the papugos were judged before, it was said to be a fruit which grows near the entrance of the forest.

So the forest’s exit shouldn’t be far from here.

While thinking so, I heard something like the voice of a person coming from ahead in the forest.

“I can hear something approaching… this is… a person’s voice?

It seems to be running away from something, but I can’t hear it in detail.”

Should I hide first and have a look…

If they’re running from a monster, then sorry but just run on through.

A short time later there was a lone wounded man with a tough looking face.

While looking, two thin men have jumped with force into the place in front,

the three people’s attire isn’t that of a villager… no matter how I think,

the blood on the clothes here and there is on my mind…

After a little bit, the conversation of these three could be heard.

“Haahaa… Aniki! We managed to escape somehow!”

“Aah, it’s safe here for the time being, we can’t be chased so easily inside a forest!”

“But we really were unlucky this time!

I’d never think the village we attacked would have such a strong adventurer…”

“Yeah, a guy of that strength might be B rank,

Sabu and Abu were late in running away and we’re killed by that guy!

Only us being able to get away is satisfactory.”

Hmm… from these remarks it seems these guys attacked a village… is it thieves?

I’ll judge it just to be sure,

first is that most proud looking guy, Judgment.
