chapter 19

Once again, I am hungry with nobody coming through this peaceful forest .

Even so, a lot of days have passed since the heroes have come to the forest but it doesn’t seem like there are any humans who are willing to enter the forest . Just what is going on?

I was aimlessly looking at the map while training the Elf .

while playing around with the map by making it large and small, I noticed some form of settlement that was just barely within my capture area . It was next to a river and had a bridge and had a home beyond that .

There is no doubt about it, it must be a human’s house .

Why didn’t I notice this! If I noticed this quicker, my capture area would have been able to reach the human village .

Finally, I’ll be able to have a meal after a long time .

I used contraction to become smaller, then I packed myself into the bag the Elf was carrying .

This way I will be able to move around without spending TP*

TLN: The author used PT instead of TP but I have no idea what PT stands for so it’s most likely a type

I decided to bring the witch towards the house . If I am able to eat it, I will eat it .

after passing through the forest, there was a river flowing around the forest with an arched bridge . Beyond that, there were many houses with red roofs and it seemed like there were lots of humans inside the building . How exciting, My heart is beating pretty fast .

After crossing the bridge, I noticed a sign blocking my road . curiously I read the sign:

“To the people of the village, There is currently a big bear inside the forest that is posing as an extreme threat . Please do not enter the forest without permission . -Ares Stein, Adventure guild’s master”

Ah! this is why! No wonder there were no humans entering the forest . It was because of this!

I incinerated this unpleasant sign with [fire] from the elf, leaving no trace behind .

Hopefully, this will convince some more humans to enter the forest .

After solving that problem, we headed inside the human settlement .

The humans probably think that I’m just an elf who is holding onto these plants as long as I don’t release my contraction, there should be no risk of exposure .

Looking around the human settlement, it appears that there are a lot of houses . There are lots of private houses lined up throughout the town and the humans seem to be walking around, looking busy . Perhaps they are looking for food as it is almost lunchtime

At noon, it will be difficult to try out their food as their are many people, I wonder if there are any places without much people? well, my capture area does not reach those areas yet so for now, I will have to just wait and see .

Speaking of which I wonder what would happen if I step out of my capture area? While contemplating I was on the edge of my area, deciding what to do .

“huh? Sarah? your Sarah aren’t you? What are you doing here?”

A human woman approached us . She was tall and had a cool aura with short black hair . Apparently, she is someone my duplicate knows so I’ll use this opportunity to trick her into coming into the forest with me .

(Sarah): “Um . . . Who are you again?”

(???): “How Rude! Please stop that joke seriously! I’ll get mad you know!”

For now, I’ll let my duplicate talk for me as I have not idea how to interact with this person .

(Sarah): “Sorry Kate, I was just kidding . More Importantly . . . . ”

(Kate): “More importantly Sarah, you promised that you would come over one day to hang out . I even prepared some drinks and waited for you”

This human cut me off while I was talking, She really pisses me off .

(Sarah): “Ahh your right, I had some business I needed to do that day . ”

(Kate): “You better make up for it! [choros]!”

Kate suddenly put her right hand forward and clapped, causing the scenery I see to change completely .

If you look closely, you’ll see that the elf was in front of me . Then . . . The human named kate grabbed my body from inside the bag and took it away from the elf .

(Kate): “Hehe did you forget that I’m a [theif]? if you want your precious bag back, come over sometime, I’ll prepare some drinks so hang with me sometime . ”

(Sarah): “No! stop! you can’t take that!”

Then the thief ran away while holding onto my body,

I see . . . The Theif used a skill . . .

and currently, I’m . . .

Outside of my capture area . . .
