There wasn’t any lecturing from the guild master, and after a small warning, I moved towards the warehouse to sell my monster materials.

I decided to sell all the edible meat since holding on to them was too cumbersome. But I did keep some of the skins. On a side note, it seems ogre meat isn’t edible.

Thus, I took everything out. And everyone around me looked shocked. All of these were due to the grace of my goddess, Norn. Norn is seriously a goddess. I really love her. And I’m not taking any objections to that.

“To have this much… and there’s no signs of damage…?”

Ah, so you noticed. But I turned away and feigned ignorance. After taking a cue from my behavior, nothing more was said afterwards.

The total from the sale was 20 gold coins.
 
Yep, it was quite a great amount. The guild master was also very happy for some reason. I’m not sure why, but congratulations, I guess? Also, I decided not to sell the ogre’s magic stone. Since it seems there were various uses to it.

Anyways, since the sale of the monster materials was concluded, it was now time to go to work. Various things happened, but it was still early in the morning.
 
The southern forest area was already placed off-limits. The guild master sure worked fast. As such, I had to go look for a different area.

But the bulletin board already had a crowd around it. And I didn’t have the energy to rush in.
 
While I was thinking about just heading out since it was too troublesome, Salena approached me and whispered a secret to me. Apparently, there were rare herbs growing near the river flowing in the northeast. She said it was thanks for the udon. I should feed her more often. And if I increased her favorability more, eventually…!

I thanked her before leaving the guild and then headed out of town.
 
After exiting town, I glanced around for some people.
 
I could just go directly to the river, but for now...

A few children approached me as I was glancing around. Shin, Yui, and their friends.
 
I didn’t give a greeting or say anything. Since I’m not their friend. Let’s see, five boys, three girls, so eight in total?
 
Alter confirming that everyone had gathered around, I gave a nod and headed off. The target would be the river.

“…Uh, are we not going to the forest?”

“Where are we going?”

“Shin, go ask her.”

It seems they were questioning where I was going, but if they didn’t like it, they’re free to go home. Today would be my first time going there.

As I continued on forward, Shin moved forth to talk to me.

“Um, where are you going for today?”

“The river.”

“The river? Are you not going to the forest?”

“The southern forest area is off-limits.”

“Off-limits?”

“It seems ogres have appeared there.”

“Ogres!?”

The children began panicking. Even if you’re all scared, the place we’re going to isn’t the forest, it’s the river.
 
I continued on ahead while ignoring the noises.

After walking for about an hour, I arrived at the river. I looked around and there were a few people about. Should I look for herbs near the riverside? There was an open field towards the downstream of the river and a forest towards the upstream. I see, a forest.
