Chapter 134 – The Cause of the no Hunting.

The simple dish prepared by Tauro will change the poor food situation in the mountain village.

Jagamo and rice are staple food.

There’s a big difference between having staple food and not having it.

If they can get it cheaply, fill their stomachs and enjoy the taste, the burden on the villagers will be lightened in the future.

When I asked the villagers if they had any idea about the hunting, which is one of the causes of poverty in the mountain village, they said they had no idea.

“Sometimes monsters appear and cause damage to the village, but that hasn’t changed for a long time, I think.
But there are fewer beasts, that’s for sure.”

One of the hunters pondered for a moment, but replied that there had been no change in the mountains.

“Have you seen any big birds in the last few years?”

A boy behind the hunter, not much older than Tauro, tugged at his father’s hem.

“Ah? Ah! Is it the “big bird” you are talking about? I’ve seen them flying above us from time to time, but they’re harmless, aren’t they?”

Placing his hand on the child’s head, the hunter continued.

“I’d like to kill it, but it’s flying too high for me to aim.
Hahaha!”

The hunter was laughing gaily, but Tauro was a little concerned about the “big bird”.

 

As far as I can see with my “true eyes,” which are now able to see a little further, there are no monsters around that pose a threat.

The only change the villagers noticed was the “big bird”, so it’s probably safe to suspect the “big bird”.

“If you look up at the sky, you’ll see quite a bit.”

Tauro was lost in thought, so the child guessed what it was and told him.

“Thank you.”

As a test, Tauro walked out of the village chief’s house and looked up outside.

He looked up at the sky, which was tinged with red and the sun that was about to set.

“It’s already this late….
we’re going to have to stay overnight …h?”

A bird flew in the direction of the mountains, crashing through the sunset sky that he was looking up at.

Tauro immediately looked at the bird with his naked eye which was enhanced via his “God’s Hands”, but it was too far away to make out anything but a silhouette in the shadow cast by the setting sun.

However, the silhouette was as the hunter and his child said, “a big bird”.

I could see the size of the bird even more clearly when I looked at it with the eyes of the far-sighted “God’s hand”.

It’s not just a bird.

After all, its silhouette had four legs.

Tauro was able to predict what it was just by looking at it.

The next morning, Tauro decided to ask the hunter to lead him up the mountain, higher up from the village.

Aeris also went with him.

He asked Shin and Rumeya to repair the houses in the village.

Lumber was cheap and plentiful, so it wouldn’t be a problem to use it to repair the tattered houses.

“But why do you want to go there? It’s too steep, too high, there are no animals and no one in the village likes to go near it.”

“That’s where the big bird disappeared yesterday.”

“Ah! That’s it! Hmm, that bird is nesting in that area? If I had known that, I would have gone hunting too.”

“Haha… I don’t really recommend that, because I think that ‘big bird’ is probably a monster griffon.”

“Eh?!”

Aeris, who had been following behind silently, was surprised.

“? What’s a griffon?”

The hunter, surprised by Aeris’s reaction, asked Tauro.

“The griffon is a territorial monster.
They are fierce and brave, and are ranked B or higher in the Adventurer’s Guild.
They are so powerful that they can grab a large monster and leap into the sky to knock it down from a height to kill it.
There’s a high possibility that the griffons have made this area their territory and the beasts are afraid to approach them.”

“…So that’s why you didn’t bring Shin and Rumeya with you.”

Aeris seemed to understand Tauro’s actions when she learned that it was a Griffon.

There was nothing they could do if the two vanguards were grabbed and kidnapped into the sky.

No, if you hadn’t come with me, I wouldn’t have brought you here either…!

Tauro made a comment in his mind, but didn’t say it outwardly.

“Since Griffons mostly fly in the sky, it’s special even in the adventurer guild subjugation quest because it’s tough.
Even the team formation is also special, B-rank band adventurers are usually the leading team.”

“Is that so?!”

Even hunters in the countryside know from rumors how great B-rank adventurers are.

 

The fact that those level of adventurers are required in the defeat of such a monster meant that it was a very serious monster.

The hunter felt uneasy, wondering if this boy and girl would be able to defeat it.

“Don’t worry.
We have a good chance of winning.”

Tauro answered confidently.
