“Did you get any?” [Teacher]

“Of course! [Student]
“Oh?” [Teacher]
The students came back one after another and the camp became noisy .
“Hmm…?” [Ryouma]
When I turned to the direction of the windows, I noticed that a crowd had formed beside the carriage .
“They’re checking their food, huh . ”
They said they would double their efforts in checking their food, so they must be having a hard time with so many students coming back .
It’s still a bit early for my duty, but I guess I might as well do my job .
“Good job, everyone! Please let me help!” [Ryouma]
“Thanks!” [Teacher 1]
“Help us check their food!” [Teacher 2]
“Okay! Next! You can have your stuff checked here too!” [Ryouma]
Of the students lined up, one walked to me .

“Please . ” [Student 1]
“Sure, no problem . You sure gathered a lot . ” [Ryouma]
I used the rack on the carriage and checked the contents of the bag .
…This person seems to have some knowledge of plants . He focused on gathering leaf buds and edible wild grasses . But…
“Most of this is fine, but this mushroom is no good . ” [Ryouma]
“Huh!?” [Student 1]
“It might resemble an Akakasatake, but if you compare the back of the umbrella with the real thing…” [Ryouma]
“Ah, it’s different . ” [Student Adventurer]
“Yes . The back of the umbrella of an edible ‘Akakasatake’ is a beautiful red . But when the back is a dull brown-like color, that’s the poisonous ‘Benikasatake’ . If you eat this, you can get anything from a stomachache to diarrhea to vomiting, and even vertigo, so please be careful . ” [Ryouma]
“I see…” [Student Adventurer]
“For the meantime, I’ll be taking this . Considering that you were able to get so many edible food, I’d say you did a pretty good job . ” [Ryouma]
“Thank you very much . ” [Student 1]
“Yes . Next!” [Ryouma]

“Usu!” [Student 2]
Hmm… This one also seems like he knows a thing or two about gathering food, but his method of collecting the ingredients is really sloppy . This leaf bud can be eaten, but you’re only supposed to pluck the terminal bud . By plucking the other buds too, although doing so gives you more food, there won’t be any left the next year .
The tree this leaf bud is attached to is also weak, so if you’re not gentle, it’s easy to break . He had a couple of other buds in his bag along with the branches .
After I explained to him the issues with the way he foraged food, a student with food other than plants and vegetation appeared .
“Excuse me, can you teach me how to handle my quarry?” [Student 3]
“Your quarry? In that case, ask that person over there . He’s in charge of that stuff . ” [Ryouma]
I told him about another male teacher under the shadow of the carriage and had him go there .
I’m currently in charge of mushrooms and plants .
“When handling quarry, we start by letting the blood out first . Understand?” [Teacher]
“Yes!” [Student 3]
“But you need to be careful where you do this . As much as possible, choose a place that’s safe, as other monsters might come because of the smell of blood . This time is fine, but when you do it, it would be best to do it somewhere away from your camp . ”
“What about when I really have to do it at my camp?” [Student 3]
“In that case, you can dig out a hole and bury the blood and all the other unnecessary parts . It’s a lot better to bury them than otherwise . If you have money and space in your luggage to spare, you could consider buying this one too . The Bamboo Forest’s ‘Deodorizing Liquid’ . ” [Teacher]
Huh? Isn’t that our store’s product!?
“Deodorizing Liquid?” [Student 3]
“Never heard of it? Bamboo Forest is an inexpensive laundromat that got into business this year . They sell this there . If you get the strong stuff, you can deodorize even the smell of goblin blood . It’s very convenient . There are even beast tribe members that can’t stop using it after trying it out once . Unfortunately, you can only buy it at the store at Gimuru or Renauph for now . ” [Teacher]
Huh . So, it was being used for camping… Even though it’s my store’s product, I had no idea .
“Next . Huh?” [Ryouma]
Oh . It looks that student just now was the last . There’s no line anymore .
“Ryoumkun, are you done?” [Mimil]
“Mimil-san . Yeah, apparently . ” [Ryouma]
“Then can you gather all the food that can’t be eaten . I want to dispose them . ” [Mimil]
“Got it . …By the way, can I have the poisonous mushrooms?” [Ryouma]
“The poisonous mushroom? Well, I was just going to dispose them anyway, so I don’t mind, but… Oh . I get it . You want to feed them to your slimes?” [Mimil]
“Yes . While they may be poisonous to humans, the poison slimes can eat them just fine . ” [Ryouma]
“In that case, please feel free to take them . But do be careful not to accidentally eat them . ” [Mimil]
“Thank you very much . ” [Ryouma]
She gave permission, so I cleaned everything up and gathered even the inedible food from the other teachers . I also took the opportunity to talk to the man that was teaching the student how to handle a quarry, and was able to get him to agree to give me blood .
I went back to my base and stored the poisonous mushrooms in my Dimension Home . In exchange, I took out vials filled with bloody slimes and went back .
“Sorry to keep you waiting . ” [Ryouma]
At the place where animals were gutted were animals hanging from wooden racks, dripping with blood .
“I don’t need to do anything special, right?”
“Yes . I’ve already placed the slimes in the tubs, so just drain the blood normally and it’s all good . ” [Ryouma]
While explaining, I placed three slimes each in the three large tubs that were meant to hold the blood .
The bloody slimes have been increasing in number, but they’ve yet to cross 2 digits . I need to increase their numbers faster…
As usual, they’re hard to distinguish when mixed with a puddle of blood .
“Ryoumkun!” [???]
“Sorry . I need to go . ” [Ryouma]
Someone seemed to be calling for me, so I quickly ran to the back of the carriage .
