Chapter 36

The young spider put the red fruits it brought into the bag one after another.

I didn't expect the bag it brought to become a magic bag.

Thanks to a certain famous robot!

The young spiders brought 30 red fruits, harvested.

There seem to be more fruits, but it might not be the right time to harvest them yet?

The young spiders move freely between the trees.

They are like little ninjas.

I follow the young spiders into the forest.

For some reason, they are leading the way.

I'm grateful.

A young spider passes in front of me.

When I stop to check, I see a low tree with dense leaves a few steps away.

As I get closer, the young spider starts harvesting again.

I can see lumps like cabbages scattered among the dense leaves.

It seems the young spider brought one of these lumps.

It's quite large, about the size of a basketball.

I compare the size of the young spider to the lump; it's amazing that it can harvest this.

I peel a piece from the vegetable lump and taste it.

It has a gentle sweetness and a crunchy texture, without any bitterness.

It's different from cabbage and lettuce, somewhere in between?

It's hard to describe, but it's delicious.

I put it in the bag again.

There are dozens of these vegetable trees in the area.

Since they are clustered together, the harvest is abundant.

In total, 50 lumps.

...I might let them rot before I can eat them all.

When I get back, I'll think about putting some magic on the storage room.

...I've been walking quite a bit, but there don't seem to be many trees with edible fruits.

There are quite a number of monsters trying to attack, but Core's groans are driving them away.

Core is the strongest!

His groans are scary too!

I discover a tree with bright yellow-green fruits.

The young spider harvests fist-sized fruits this time.

They have a refreshing scent, like lemons.

From the same tree, it harvests bluish fruits this time.

These are... odorless.

It's strange, but since it brought them, I put them in the bag.

In total, 50 fruits harvested.

Three types in total.

I'll head back home for now.

When I get home, there are 5 prey in front of Shion and Chai, who were on separate missions.

There are 7 in front of Soa and Hio.

There are 2 in front of Crow.

The number of prey they hunt is increasing every day.

Still, it's a lot.

The Cores eat 3 prey a day together, so I need to tell them not to hunt too much.

But first, I pet them and thank them.

I'm used to butchering, so it doesn't take long.

I can now use magic to remove the skin, which saves time.

I instantly move the meat to the refrigerated room.

I'm still figuring out what to do with the skin.

To check the size of the young spiders, I call out to the leader.

...

Leader, are you growing too...?
