‘Okay.’

 

I said, and the slime started to spit out the monsters.

The first was a small boar-like monster.

I hadn’t really picked which monsters to kill, so I was just hoping that there would be some attached to a quest.

 

…I thought this as I accepted the monster from the slime…

But then the receptionist raised her voice in surprise.

 

“Hey, wait a minute! Did you buy that monster?”

 

“…No, I just hunted it normally.”

 

She heard this and then turned pale.

 

“Uh…I hope I am wrong, but this forest you gathered herbs in… It wouldn’t be the mountain you reach after leaving the town from the east, would it?”

 

Hmm.

Yes, I think we did leave the town from the east.

I walked randomly after that, but I do think we had headed towards a mountain.

 

“I don’t remember it too well, but I think so. …It wasn’t a forbidden area, was it?”

 

“No, it’s just that no one would go to such a dangerous place just for herbs…”

 

Oh.

It was a dangerous place then.

 

Yes, it did seem like the slimes were encountering monsters quite a lot.

There weren’t any strong monsters, but it was perhaps dangerous for a new Adventurer to go first thing after pulling an all-nighter.

 

I thought about this before returning to the subject at hand.

 

“…So, can I get anything for this?”

 

“Ye-yes! It’s a crash boar. You do not have to accept a quest for it, and it is rank E!”

 

…What?

A monster who dies by a single fireball is E? Not G or H?

Isn’t that a little high?
