Plant gathering. It was known to be safe.

“No, the quest itself is highly recommended…but, you just stayed up all night, didn’t you?”

 

Oh. That’s what she meant.

“I stayed up all night, but I’m fine. I’m used to it.”

 

“You’re used to staying up at night… You B-rank Scouts are amazing…”

‘I know those leaves!’

 

‘They don’t taste good!’

 

But it seemed that the slimes knew about them.
