Let me explain the course of events briefly.
I was an employees of second-class trading company in Japan, for unknown reason become the eighth son of poor noble in the west of another world.
I had talent in magic so I train in it, work hard at study with no one notice, I go hunting as to improve my eating habit.
My magic gradually improved, and from master that had died become the talking dead which is an undead monster for the purpose of tell me his magic, I learned magic from master who is originally a human and mage retainer of great noble, I inherited all his magic and his legacy.
In order to prevent unnecessary succession fight from happening, I don’t mind being called as useless son who not even helping his family, I succeed in obtaining my freedom.
First of all, exploring the savage land that boast a tremendous breadth, I do it with flight and teleport magic I had learned before, I have secured materials and assets that can last me for many years to come.
Incidentally, it was hard to learn brewing magic for miso and soy sauces.
Actually, it is a secret why this magic I am struggled most.
One of the village headmans in the territory want to make me the next lord, the territory is really small but it could brought social upheaval like in history drama.
Of course, it would be a pain in the ass so I refuse him politely.
Since I may be invited in social upheaval when I’m at home, I entered adventurer prep school of another town by the age 12.
Up to this point, time has flown about six years and several months.
Since I do many things in my own way, I feel like the time flies too fast.
The season now is early in April.
I didn’t feel odd about it since it exactly the same as my previous life, the calendar in this world more or less the same with Japan.
12 months in one year, the different only that every one month is 31 days which 372 days would be one year.
Length is in milli, centimeter, meter, kilometer.
Weight in grams, kilograms and tons.
Time also in seconds, minutes and hours.
Day of the week is from monday to sunday, sunday basically has become a day off.
It said that the god believer go to the church on this day.
The God they believed in, the God who created this world, giving a name other than God in itself is outrageous.
A one-god belief, it seems no other Gods exist at least in this Lingaia continent.
Depending on the region, there is a subtle differences in doctrine as it associated with local primitive religion, there actually some sect that had long history is in bad term with each other, it was a story that can be heard anywhere.
And when it comes to countryside in rural area like mine, instead of having no idea about rest day, farm work every day with going hunting and gathering in their spare time, this is their idea in take a day off.
They have many holiday when it was leisure season for farmers but our village had a lot of work in cultivation and flood control works earning it a bad rumor.
Although the talk become longer, I entered adventurer prep school in Breitburg without a problem, and also made friends, immediately after classes began; in the afternoon a few days later, I decided to start a part-time job because I have began to get used to prep school.
I don’t need to do such thing but I don’t want others to known about my assets situation too much, and anyway, I won’t go into monster area until I am 15 years old.
I decided to do hunting that served as a part-time job to hone my skill in battle.
Together with Elvin von Arnim or El who is the first friend in the same age I made in this world.
“Sigh—, we finally arrived.”
“Not like we have any choice. The nearby hunting place already taken by others.”
Ell and me had arrived at the grassland that the office in prep school had told us the distance about one hour on foot.
Breitburg was a big town that boasts a population over two hundred thousands but it need enormous food because of that.
There a lot of grain and vegetables from farm village in the vicinity.
For fish, unfortunately since it away by hundred kilometers from the sea, it mainly river fish preserved with salt or as dried fish.
Though the salt slightly higher, it seems to be more cheaper than other cities of inland because it was brought in large quantities.
Sugar also can be obtained a little cheaper since it was the south speciality.
And about meat, the amount hardly enough as the stock were carried out from the area of farm village.
Cultivation of farmland constantly being carried out to raise grain production, but in proportion of population that had increased, production of meat that could be used can not caught up with the amount of grain.
Therefore, adventurer’s existence become important.
Speaking about adventurers who hunt monster by entering the region inhabited by monsters, some of them only wanted to get the precious material or meat, which means not all of them strong enough to hunt monster.
Many of them went to secure meat for people to eat in remote place like this.
There also professional hunter for a countryside in rural area, farmers hunting in their spare time, the village sometimes goes out hunting together to get the necessary meat.
It was a common knowledge for hunter in urban area to join adventurer guild to do hunting.
Adventurer’s guild also served as hunter guild.
So rather than a part-time job for the student in adventurer prep school, this hunting can be said as an important job to some people who could determine their prospects.
Wild animals not as strong as monster but adventurers still die every so often being attacked by bear or wolf, it still dangerous when one is careless.
One must not unprepared when hunting.
“Everybody hastily went to the nearby hunting ground.”
“Probably because there is a danger in far place.”
Dangerous animals such as wolves were often in a seclude place like this.
And we just a student now so we need to think about tomorrow’s class, most of the part-time job is for hunting ground that were close to the town.
“But you know. Isn’t the competition is too intense?”
“Currently, a lot of guys who can’t hunt also goes out.”
The hunting ground close to the town, naturally the prey frequently hunted so it small in number.
Since a professional adventurers also in there, many student that still lacking in experience could not get any results.
This is the so-called “Baptism to the rookie”.
Those who could not get any result in hunting give up and changed their part-time job as salesperson or luggage carrier.
“There would be fewer adventures with this much distant. Right, Vel.”
“Be quiet…”
When I said be quiet to El, I investigate the area by invoking magic detection continuously.
“Detection magic? That’s convenient to use.”
“It’s a convenient magic for hunting. Got it…”
When I move to the reaction that pointing at two people, I encountered a scene of large wild boar digging root of tree on the ground.
It must be looking for yam.
“So big.”
“Yeah.”
It would a waste only staring and make more noise, so I and El decide to nock our arrow to the bow aiming at it.
El gained the scholarship in prep school with his sword technique, but due to him hunting since he was small, he was adept in handling bow.
His skill should be better than me who corrected the orbit with magic.
He had hunt by risking his life to sold the prey for several years, he got some part of it for travel expenses or living costs in Breitburg.
“I’ll give a boost on the arrow.”
“Okay.”
El and I shoot the arrow at the same time.
Then two arrows were deeply pierced the ass and back of the wild boar.
“This boost things is handy.”
The arrow was reinforced with a boost of wind magic, increases the flying distance, rising the penetration power to pierces deeply into prey.
A big animals would be in a critical condition with just one blow when it stuck nicely in the vital point.
It didn’t give much damage this time since the prey had stuck its head into a hole.
“Will it get surprised and escapes?”
“Too bad, it get mad.”
I am not that sure as I never go hunting in my previous life but there many ferocious wild animals live in this world.
I believe it was a common sense for it to run away when received an arrow, but it run amok for some reason, it tried to get revenge on us who harmed it.
The wild boar despite the damage, counter-attack by rushing to inflict serious injury, adventurer can die at worst, some people have become victim in the past year from prep school instructors story.
“It come rushing to us.”
“That rather convenient though.”
El and me shoot the next arrow without panicking.
The arrow also enhanced with a boost, both of it pierces the wild boar’s head that rushes to us.
The while boar no longer moving toppling down while making a tremendous sound.
“It dead?”
El carefully approach the wild boar, he checked if it already dead by stabbing it with sword.
“Lucky. But Vel also good at bow.”
“That the result from practice.”
It was complicated to aim at first so I tampered the trajectory mostly by magic, but my aim as of late is more accuracy.
But my skill still inferior to El as his arrow were stuck in the middle of wild boar’s head.
“It is easy since Vel can use magic. Please store it.”
“Got it.”
I keep the wild board that had die in magic bag right away.
When keeping it in magic bag, the meat quality does not gets worse since the state would be just like at the time it stored.
It is more efficient to deal with the catch after it had gathered up later so I just store it in the bag.
Even so, the bag I had put the catch now is something I just made.
It something I create as practice in making magic tool, but I also had considered in always using magic bag as the corpse of wild boar drips blood, I am glad I make it beforehand.
This new bag can only be used by mage because I can’t still make the general-purpose item for commoner.
And I made it
