After getting the quest, now is the time for me to stretch my hunting muscle for a bit.

  The only problem was that I did not know the hunting place.

  The quest only mentioned that they wanted a whole corpse and nothing else.

  In my excitement I forgot to ask the staff where I can hunt the lesser boar.

  Hmm, do I go back and ask the staff?

  Nope, that will be too embarrassing.

  So where will I go to ask about the whereabouts of the lesser boar?

  Ahh … I just remembered, there is someone I can ask who definitely knows the answer to my question.

  Without wasting my time any longer, I walked away and went toward that place.

  The smell of delicious meat greets me as I go inside the Sleeping Bear Inn.

  It was the time of the day where the patron filled the inside of the inn that also served as a restaurant.

  If I haven’t eaten yet, then I would probably go along and eat in here.

  The chatter of the patron kind of sparked my curiosity as they talked about their adventure.

  It seems most of the patrons are active adventurers.

  But I reined in my curiosity and went toward the kitchen area.

  When I open the door, I see Arthem move back and forth, leaving behind a lot of afterimages.

  It was hard to believe that he could move that fast with his build.

  He looked really busy cooking, so with a heavy heart, I backed out and searched for another person to ask.

  Looking left and right I saw Arthem's wife also busy taking the patron order.

  A sigh escaped my lips as I reluctantly went out.

  “Hey, did you hear? There’s a sighting of a horde of lesser boars leaving the Verdant Wood.

  “Huh, if that is true, then they might join in the beast horde rampage.”

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  “Maybe this is the time of the year after all.”

  “I pity our junior that must handle those pests.”

  “Hah, it sure reminds me of those days when it was us that had to deal with them.”

  “Ha ha, that’s true.”

  I stooped and backed off from the door, taking the empty table near me. I closely listen as I hear the adventure churning information related to my prey.

  They said the lesser boar left the verdant wood, but where is the verdant wood?

  But when they said the horde of lesser boars might join in the beast horde rampage, it became clear to me.

  The verdant wood is in the eastern route or at least near those places.

  After achieving what I have come here to get, I finally exit from the sleeping bear.

  The creaking of the door became the last thing I heard from the sleeping bear.

  …

  I took the carriage service to go to the verdant wood, or that was supposed to be the plan anyway; the reality, though, was different.

  Thanks to the beast horde rampage, all the carriage service toward the Eastern route is suspended until further notice.

  That sure ruined my plan, but then it came to me.

  I wanted to go to the verdant wood to hunt lesser boar because it was the only place I knew they lived.

  If not, then surely they at least know where to hunt lesser boar near this place.

  But isn’t the carriage service employee supposed to know a lot of places thanks to their job?

  If not, then surely they at least know where to hunt lesser boar near this place.

  That’s why I asked them, and sure enough, they know the perfect place.

  “Hmm, you want to hunt lesser boar? Then just go to the Scarlet Forest. Just exit from the western gate and go straight; you will find it half an hour from here.”

  The guy that answers my question is a tall guy with an amiable smile.

  “Thanks,” I said as I slid a copper coin into his desk.

  He wordlessly took it and said toward me, “My name is Fin. If you want any information, then just go straight for me.”

  “Sure,” I answer him happily.

  Information about hunting places obtained an exit from the place and went to gather necessary tools for my quest

  At the front door I realize something: Where should I go to get it?

  Without much thinking I instantly know the answer to my own question

  Fin!

  He did say to ask him if I want any information, right?

  Isn’t it better if I ask him the place I can get the thing I want right now?

  I turn back and asked him while his memories still fresh

  “Huh, you want to know a place to buy something to transport a large beast?”

  “Sounds about right”

  “Then you are just in luck, because our place, Silver Rando, rents a cheap cart perfect for transporting large beasts.”

  “Really, how much is it?

  “Just five copper coins, and it’s yours for the rent, but if you damage it, then you must pay two silver coins.”

  “Hmm, sounds about right.” I gave him five copper coins from my coin pouch and rented the cart.

  With this, my preparation is finished, and the only thing I need to do is hunt the lesser boar.

  Fin took me to the back of the shop and showed me the cart I was about to rent.

  It was at least five meters long and two meters wide, a cart made mostly of wooden material.

  It got four wheels made of rubber to support its weight.

  I tap the wooden cart to test its toughness.

  After a little more inspection, I felt it was good enough for the job and paid the cost to Fin.

  I took my newly rented cart to go to the western gate.

  I already took the equipment I left at the Sleeping Bear when I went there.

  The only thing I need to do is go to the western gate and start my journey to the scarlet forest.
