CH 43

Tomoe is so taken aback by the fact that the wooden sword I made smashed the rock that she let go.

She eventually looks at the blade of the wooden sword with admiration.

“I can’t believe it. ……!　I can’t believe that a wooden sword can cut through a rock. ……!

‘Zaniwa Zangan’ (Cutting rocks) is one of the goals of the samurai. ……!”

And it’s so easy to do ……!”

“Not bad, huh?”

I call out, and Tomoe shakes her head as if water has been splashed on her face.

Immediately puts the tip of the wooden sword against me.

“Bastard What are you trying to do? You are the enemy, and you are sending salt to me!”

“I don’t consider myself an enemy.”

“Shut up! ‘I don’t consider myself an enemy.’ – Shut up! If I wanted to, I could cut your skull in half with my rock-cutting sword (Zan’iwa Sword)!”

“You seem to like it a lot that you even named it.”

And then Tomoe’s face turns red hot, like the setting sun.

“No, that’s not ……!”

“Oh well, let me borrow it.”

I take the wooden sword from Tomoe and carve the inscription into it with my knife.

==========

Quality Level 19 (Material Level 2 + Dexterity Bonus 5 + Occupation Bonus 12)

This wooden sword is made from Ogrewood.

Due to the various bonuses, it is easier to wield than conventional wooden swords and has a higher attack power.

==========

“Here, I’ll give it back.”

Tomoe begins to lose it again when she sees the wooden sword with the inscription.

“So cool, ……!”

She is like a young swordsman who has just picked up her first sword.

“Take good care of it, okay? See you later.”

I am about to turn away, but Tomoe persistes, “Wait!” 

“What, do you still need me?”

“Yes! You still haven’t answered my question!

“What is it?”

“Why did you give me such a weapon ……?　Answer me!”

“What, you’re still worried about that? That’s because you’re trying to protect Kotone.”

“What?”

“There are a lot of bad insects around Kotone, right? I thought a wooden sword of poor quality might not be enough to protect her.”

“You’re the first of them!”

“Maybe so. I don’t care if I’m a bad bug or not. I’m just sharing your feeling of wanting to protect Kotone. That’s why I made it.”

Tomoe’s face is still red, and she bits her teeth, “GUNUNUNU……!” She grinds  her teeth.

Then she puts her hand into the pocket of her hakama and takes out a booklet of “Slave Tickets”. 

She tore one off roughly and shoved it to my chest.

“Take it.”

“I didn’t mean it. ……”

“Take it! I don’t want to owe you anything!”

Tomoe takes my hand and shoves the ticket into it, then quickly turns away.

As she leaves , she looks back only once.

“Don’t get too close to Kotone.”

That’s all she says, and she walks away.

I hold the ticket in my hand, which has a portrait of a crisp-looking Tomoe with a value of 100,000, and looking over her broad shoulders.

“She went from “Don’t get close to her” to “Don’t get too close to her,” which means …….”

I got some recognition, didn’t I?”

Then the familiar light enveloped my body as I chuckle to myself.

==========

“Oh, so your new profession is trainer-tamer. That’s an unknown field for me.”

While returning to my home in the forest, I quickly change jobs.

==========

Leopin

Occupation Shin-Ra Carpenter ⇒ Trainer(Tamer)

Occupational Skills

Animal Attraction:Makes you more likable to animals.

Animal Training: Train any animal within a 1 meter radius of you.

Untrain: Release the trained target.

Use Animal: Command a trained animal

Animal Emotional Visibility: Allows you to see changes in animal emotions.

==========

The forest is full of animals, isn’t it? I think I’ll start taming them for training.

I think it’s easier to train animals that are less intelligent.

I look around the house and spot a rabbit twitching its nose in the distance.

I try to approach it gently, but it just rustles the leaves and runs away desperately.

Undeterred, I try to approach the birds, squirrels, and deer, but to no avail.

The animals in the forest are too cautious to approach me because they are being actively hunted, including me.

“It’s impossible to do it suddenly. …….

Now that I think about it, trainer-tamers are supposed to put the animals they catch in traps or something in cages and acclimate them over time.

I change my job to trapper.

On the spur of the moment, I make a simple net cage out of tree branches.

In addition, using a tree branch wrapped with “Daijazuru’s thread” as a holding rod, I could make …….

==========

Hiroeda Bird Trap

Quantity 1

Quality Level 20 (Material Level 1 + Dexterity Bonus 6 + Occupation Bonus 13)

A trap made from the branches of the Hiroeda tree to capture birds.

Due to the various bonuses, it is difficult to escape even if you catch a large bird.

==========

I set the traps on the flat ground near my house.

I sprinkl nuts under the net basket and set up a stick to hold it.

I hide in the grass, holding the string attached to the stick.

After a while, a Mean Bird comes down.

It pounces on the scattered bait, and as it gets under the trap…….

“Now!” I tug on the string.

The netting slams shut, trapping the Mean Bird inside.

I jump out of the grass and hold the net basket from above as I slide in the ground.

Then I say, “Be quiet! ” and invoke my “Animal Training” skill.

But no matter how much I try, the Mean Bird is still flailing about.

I finally lose my patience and let him go.

The Mean Bird circled above my head with a laughing cry.

“It’s hard to train, isn’t it ……? What the hell is going wrong? Status is plenty …….”

After mumbling, I finally realized.

“That’s it! I am missing the “charm” status! I think charm is the key to the success rate of training skills!”

I immediately activat the “Dexterous Body” skill of the “Poor Dexterity” skill.

I put 3000 points into “charm” at once.

Then, almost immediately after a pause

…… doo doo doo doo doo doo ……!

The earth shakes from around me.

Is it an earthquake? I think it was an earthquake, but I soon find the cause.

All sorts of forest animals are sprinting towards me from all directions, their eyes beady. ……!

“Oh no! I set my charm too high!

The effect of the passive skill “Animal Attraction” has become too strong!

Hurry up and restore ……!”

But the next moment, I am mangled by the fluffy animals.
