Kojiin Tamer

y’re you kids’ practice partners.」

Hearing that, I was a bit weary.

Today too, we departed to go hunting (?), training(?) after finishing the work in the morning.
Ojii-san suggested going to get honey, but we had just gotten some the day before yesterday, so we asked him to have some patience.
Instead, we went to greet the Queen Honey Bee and asked her to share some honey with us next time. 

「So, what are we doing today? Goblins again?」

「No, let’s challenge new monsters today as well.」

「New monsters?」

「That’s right, boy.
Do you remember asking about the materials that could be sold at the guild?」

Um, if I’m not mistaken, they were Orc materials, bird materials, and snake materials, right?」

「Yes, and, you have already defeated the Orc.
For the birds, you have hunted the Eagle.
And so?」

「Snake?」

「Umu, today, we’re going to go take down snakes!!」

「Snakes, you mean the Poison Snake that we have?」

「We’ll hunt those too, but the ones to become materials are other snakes.」

「Other….」

「Shuu, even if you’re worried, it’s unavoidable!!」

In order to encourage me, who was uneasy, Cruz-kun gave me a pep talk.

「That’s true, but….」

「Come on, you will soon arrive at the place where the snakes are!!」

「Yes, everyone prepare for battle!!」

「Aye!!」

Hearing Ilya-chan’s voice, everyone readied their weapons and began keeping a close eye on our surroundings.

As usual, Ojii-san went searching for monsters somewhere.

The familiars were spread out in the vicinity and were keeping vigilant. 

After a while, they chased the Poison Snakes and Monitor Lizards out, so we cooperated to defeat them.

TN: Monitor Lizards are large lizards that have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs.
It may sound like a made-up monster, but these reptiles are real.

The opponents were different from usual, and they crawled on the ground and on the trees, so defeating them was a bit difficult.
In terms on level, their levels were not that high, so if we fought carefully, we would be able to defeat them without getting injured. 

After fighting several battles, Ojii-san brought over the snake that was our objective.

It was the Big Snake, a snake that was up to ten meters long.
