A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai (素材採取家の異世界旅行記)

Oh, we're finally outside.

This is your first time outside, huh, Bee?

Moving through the forest at night can be tricky,

and I'm starving.

All right, Bee!

Tonight, this will be our campsite!

linked my item box to that underground lake with magic.

Another cup? Drink as much as you want.

Thanks to this, Bee can drink all the mana water needed for growth!

All right, all right. Here you go.

What, you want me to drink too? Let's see...

It's like soft, mellow water.

Activate!

According to this encyclopedia I bought at Jerome's place,

magic stones are supposed to be precious.

Effect to warm things up...

Effect to warm things up...

I can make magic stones pretty easily.

Okay, let's get started!

Looks delicious.

Mmm-hmm.

It's only my second time making meat soup,

but it's still so good! I could eat it five more times!

You want some too?

Hope it doesn't upset your stomach.

Careful, it's hot...

Appyuiii!

I told you to be careful!

Appyuiii!

There you go. Tasty?

It'd be dull if my partner only ever drank water for meals.

I'm glad we can eat the same things.

Bee, aren't you lonely being away from your parent?

Hm? You're fine as long as you're with me?

Cute! You really are cute!

Even this cute thing is Rank B,

and it's got some crazy-looking gifts.

But Bee's still a kid!

Kids need proper guidance!

Bee!

Listen, Bee. Even if you're stronger than me,

you mustn't do anything reckless, okay?

And if anything happens to you,

Vol-san's gonna chew me out.

Out like a light...

I did wish for a cute partner...

but a reptile partner?

He did this on purpose, didn't he?

Whoa... What is this...?

Current Location

Hm? Same forest as yesterday, right?

It's not creepy anymore?

What happened overnight?

Ah well, must be one of those mysterious forests. Different world and all.

Don't go too far!

All right, guess I'll start gathering materials over here.

Focus on Rank C stuff...

Come on, Search-sensei!

Oh, this is a new herb...

and over here too!

Bee, what happened?

Search, show me aggressive monsters!

Before I went into the cave...

I figured my smell kept monsters away.

Did my scent wear off?

Whatever. Taking down monsters isn't all bad.

Could have valuable materials.

Whoa!

Rock Falcon RANK C A ferocious, carnivorous large bird. Its meat is rich and sweet with fat. The spine can be processed into seasoning. Aims for people's eyes with its sharp beak. Beware of its swift movements.

Compared to Vol-san, you look almost cute.

Or rather...

Its meat is rich and sweet with fat.

...you're a flying ingredient!

Shield up!

Ice Needles deploy!

I hate pointless killing,

but if I'm going to hunt, I'll turn it into a means of survival!

Here we go!

Got meat!

More meat!

I mean, six more monsters!

Serpent Wolf RANK C A ferocious omnivorous wolf. Attacks by extending its snake-like tail. The tail carries a paralytic poison. Beware.

Quick to speed up.

And Reduction to lighten my body.

Whoa!

And Harden on both arms and legs!

Hyaaah!

Oh, I hit it!

Go away!

Long legs are awesome!

Whew. Okay, then.

Meat, meat, meat.

Materials, materials, materials!

This is such a pain!

I can't keep fighting all the way until I'm out of the forest.

Whoa! Bee, what's up?

You're trying to fly us out of here? That's not...

Whoa, you're strong!

In that case, Reduction!

Bee, we're flying way too high!!

Smells fishy... but I'm alive...

Huh? Wait a sec... This is where we camped yesterday, isn't it?

Forest of White Trees

Current Location

Bee, how fast did you fly to get us here?!

You were trying to save me, right? Thanks.

But, just so you know, I'm probably still human,

so next time please take it a little easier.

Ah, whatever. Just means I'll be counting on you again if something happens!

I said take it easy!

According to Search-sensei,

Tormi Village is a day's walk from here.

Just heading back now.

Let's take it slow.

This?

It was in my bag.

Yggdrasil Branch RANK SS A branch from the legendary tree said to embody the world itself. It is currently dormant.

m 0 0 l 205 0 205 90 0 90

They say it's a branch from the famous tree, Yggdrasil.

What are you doing all of a sudden...?

Daaah?!

It woke up after you blew mana-laced breath on it?

What? I have no idea what's going on here!

A material gatherer using a staff. Is that even a thing?

I really don't want to look like some flashy mage...

Bee, be careful... Something's out there.

A new monster?!

Bee!

Where are you, Bee?!

Bee!

What's over there?

Huh? An elf? Was she attacked by a monster?

N... No...

Um, what?

Uh, what's that sound?

Haven't... eaten... for three days...

It was her stomach?!

W... Water...

Here, water.

You saved me.

Turns out the "monster growl" was a starving elf's belly.
