698 Is there poison in 645 stories?

"It's getting a little cooler." Is Ivy all right? "

My father looks at me worried.

I nodded and laughed.

“Don't worry, I'm wearing one more today.”

When the wind blows, it feels a little cooler.

According to Uru-san, we can reach the village of Okanko in about three days.

However, if the location Ull had predicted on the map was correct.

"Look! Fruit found!"

When I turned my gaze to Mr. Arth's happy voice, I saw a red and black fruit of about 5 cm that was fruitful.

And certainly there were fruits like unto them, and some of them were poisonous.

Where was I supposed to check?

Indeed... it was in the book of poisonous fruits and the book of edible fruits, so I definitely read it.

Um... it's a leaf!

Yes, I saw it in the veins of the lobes.

"Arus, wait! Think calmly."

"I know, but this fruit was in the edible fruit book, so it's okay."

In response to Mr. Garth's words, Mr. Arth said vigorously.

And Mr. Garth sighed.

It was in the poisonous fruit book, wasn't it?

Evas looked at Arthur with a dazed look.

Oh, is that so?

Ms. Evas looks at her with a sad expression in response to Mr. Arthur's words.

Besides, you're a bit unchaste, Mr. Arthur.

Mr. Evas sighed and gave Mr. Arthur a book.

Isn't it okay if Evas checks it out?

“Arthur was the first to find out, so he should check it out.”

Arthur and Evas, who are hanging out with each other.

I realized that we were travelling together, but they used to argue.

Most of them are small things, but I really do them every day.

According to Mr. Garth, the two of them are not honest.

"Because you're honest, you can argue, right? When I asked my father, he stroked my head with a smile.

And I didn't get an answer to my question.

What the hell is that?

"We need to find out soon."

Arthur turns the page with a sigh in response to what Ull said.

I checked the shape of the fruits and leaves to see if I found the page I was looking for.

It looks like the leaves are different from poisonous fruits.

Huh?

When I look at Mr. Evas, I see a book of poisonous fruits.

Oh, my God.

Were the two of you going to split up and check?

I should've said that from the beginning.

Ah, so that's what Arthur thinks. He looks at Evas unhappily.

Fufu, it's interesting to see the relationship between the two.

So, which one is it?

"I think it is a fruit that can be eaten. Because the fruits on the poisonous side have different leaves

Mr. Garth nodded as he peered into Mr. Evas's book.

Isn't this it?

Arthur shows Garth and Evas a page with a book of edible fruits.

Mr. Garth nodded and turned his gaze to Mr. Ur.

"It's edible fruit."

“Correct. There are five similar fruits, but only three of them can be eaten. It is the leaves that are poisonous. For poisonous fruits, the veins are black. The only thing that's not poisonous is that the veins are green."

I'm relieved to hear Mr. Ull's explanation.

Good, it was a good fit.

"Good, now you've answered me 10 times in a row, right?"

Mr. Garth and Mr. Evas made a pleasant expression in Mr. Arth's words.

Because this is the challenge that Uru-san has imposed.

Ur-san, who felt threatened by the low level of knowledge of the poisons of Garth-san, told him to judge whether the fruit was poisonous or not.

If you don't answer correctly 10 times in a row, you will be punished for reading a book about poison.

The three of them have already read the book three times, so they are truly relieved that they answered correctly.

Well, the fruit is easy.

The three of them were stunned by Uru-san's words.

Certainly, the fruit is relatively easy to understand.

The easiest thing to make a mistake is herbal medicine.

There is something really indistinguishable about this.

Even now, I'll put out a book and check it out.

"Next is the medicinal herb. To determine if the medicinal herbs I'm referring to are poisonous or not." Passed 10 times in a row "

I laughed at Arthur, who had a sad expression on his face.

There are 11 books about poison that Mr. Uru and his father have together.

Sure, it's a little tough to read again.

But that knowledge will eventually help me, so I want you to do your best.

Harvest the fruit and take a break.

It's sweet.

That's right.

Plump, plump, plump

... no, you haven't eaten Sora, have you?

When I saw it, for some reason I was eating a sword.

Huh. Where'd you get that?

"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

When I turned to the sound of Sheel, I saw three swords.

……

Silently staring at Ciel with his father.

Where'd you get that?

"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Shell looks deep into the forest.

Maybe he told me that he was the one who turned his gaze.

"Ur. It looks like there's an unreasonable garbage dump nearby." I'll check it out. "

Huh. Really?

Uru-san came up to me in a state of surprise.

And when I saw Sora eating her sword, I nodded.

Looks like shell found it.

“All right, I think the three of you should rest, so I'll be here. Where's Ivy?"

"I'll take a look with your father."

Uru-san nodded and went to explain to Garth-san and the others.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Shell guides me through the woods.

From the place where the fruit was harvested, I went out to the dump about 10 minutes away.

"I didn't expect you to dump it in a place like this."

Dad sighs when he sees a lot of magic items being thrown away.

It looks like no one's coming to throw it away right now.

From the state of the fallen leaves on the garbage, I found that it had been left for a while.

That's right.

Is there a gathering place for adventurers around here?

The dump site is an easy place for adventurers to gather.

The creation of a dump here means that there is something that brings adventurers together nearby.

Around here?

I look around with my father.

I looked through the trees one by one, but I couldn't find anything that would particularly attract adventurers.

Nothing, right?

Yeah. None, right?

Can't your father find it? He's tilting his neck.

Plump, plump, plump

THERRRRRR

"Pefufu"

Seeing Sora and the rest of us happily start dining together, we explored the signs.

I delicately checked my surroundings to make sure I didn't miss any signs of hiding.

Huh?

I feel like something has caught my skin.

What's the matter?

My father puts his hand on the sword when he notices how I am.

"It's okay, it's not a sign of an attack."

I see.

But don't worry about it.

Which way is it?

Um... I think I just went a little further into the woods.

Would you like to go check it out?

Yeah. May I?

I'm curious about something.

The sign itself is very weak, so you may not have to worry about it.

While watching Sora and the others, we head to the back of the forest to look for the signs we found.

Just a little deeper into the forest, he immediately revealed his true identity.

Rock?

Towards the end of the line of sight is a gray rock with a convex ellipse.

Is it about 50cm in size?

There was a large crack in the center of the rock.

Is this the sign?

Reaching toward the stone gently strengthens the sign I felt earlier.

I think so.

Even if I stopped by, there was no sign, and I didn't feel horrified by the rock situation.

However, I was concerned about the sign of coming out of the rock.

I think I felt something similar to this sign somewhere.

Where was it?
