The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

nd menacing.

 

…Right, there was no mention of such a cute sound.

 

Sora was bouncing on Ciel’s back.

 

She seemed to be in a good mood after hearing Ciel’s voice.

 

She was bouncing around, but I was a little nervous that she was going to fall off.

 

“Sora, you’re going to fall.”

 

At my call, Sora made a small bounce and got on Ciel’s head.

 

Ciel didn’t show any sign that she didn’t like it.

 

“Ciel, you have to tell me if you don’t like it, okay? I don’t think Sora should ride on your head either, so let’s get her off.”

 

I picked Sora up in my arms and patted her lightly.

 

“Puru puru~”

 

Was that fun?

 

Until yesterday, I wasn’t certain if I could really fend off the organization’s grasp.

 

Whew, okay! 

 

“Let’s go to the disposal site and then back to town.”

 

First, I’d have to go to the disposal site to find the tools to make traps.

 

There were some ropes left, but they were running low.

 

I also would like to get a basket, but I should start practicing making my own.

 

If I wanted to make a basket, what would I need?

 

…bark? 

 

I should ask someone how to make one before I try.

 

After that…ku-i-kkk…hmm? 

 

I felt a tugging sensation and looked behind me.

 

Ciel was holding my clothes in her mouth.

 

“What’s wrong? You’re stretching my clothes.”

 

Ciel let go of his clothes and purrs.

 

Come to think of it, she sounded like this a while ago.

 

That was when I said, “Let’s go to the disposal site.”

 

Did Ciel hate the disposal site? 

 

“You don’t like the disposal site? But you’ve never had that kind of mood before.”

 

I once went with her to a disposal site that was in the woods.

 

At that time, she didn’t show any sign of disliking it.

 

Hmmm~…oh.

 

“Are you going on a hunt?”

 

Gururu.

 

Does this mean that she wants to take care of the hunting for me? 

 

Certainly, since Ciel started participating in the trip, we never had a problem with meat.

 

There had been times when there was too much meat, though.

 

Ciel would always come back with a catch in her mouth from somewhere along the way.

 

It would be a more reliable outcome than me hunting.

 

But it wouldn’t be good for me if I did that.

 

Hunting was good for studying demons and animals.

 

It was also a study in how to explore the forest in other ways.

 

“You know, Ciel, hunting is for my studies as well.
So, from now on, we can both hunt together… let’s work together.”

 

“Nyaun.”

 

Ciel purred happily at my words.

 

Thank goodness.

 

I never thought she would give me such a sad look just for refusing to hunt.

 

I couldn’t say “I don’t need it” when she looked at me like that.
