After entering the forest, I was happily harvesting various things.

I've already reached the skill cap of  level 10 for raising magic skills, so I haven't raised any more skills yet.

Even the skill cap for the rearguard job is a maximum of 5 for every occupation level but, apparently Grandmaster's skill cap is also out of the norm.
 
**********
 
Name: Lumi-Ramune Fruit
 
Description: A fruit that tastes like Ramune when eaten.it's sweet and popular.
 
**********

"Lumi-ramune fruit can be used to make jam, but it's also delicious to eat it as is."

The size is about the size of a cherry, and many fruits are gathered on one branch.
It's a great treat to eat as i travel, but I genuinely like sweet things. Shirayuki was probably like that too.
Since it was in a position where I couldn't reach it even if I stretched out, I dropped the branch with wind magic and stored the fruit in the magic bag.
 
**********
 
Name: Rito grass
 
Description: It becomes HP potion by compounding. Removing the root will reduce the effect.
 
**********
 
Name: Gedoku grass
 
Description: It is bitter but has an detoxifying effect. By brewing it's leaves it become an antidote.
 
**********

"I wonder how many bundles make up one set?  Well, I'll use any leftovers to improve my synthesis skills, so let's pick up them as much as possible."

I decided to take everything that caught my eye.

I thought the outer wall of the town looked familiar, but after entering the forest for a while, I was convinced. This was the "Port town: Porto", the first place you visit in the game, and the nearby is the "Forest of West ".

Because it is a place that has helped me many times to raise my level from level 1, It is a place that i have deep feeling.

**********

Name: Wild Sheep's Pointed Horn

Description: A single horn that grows on wild sheep. If you shave the root, it becomes a medicine, but the rest is only of ornamental value.

**********

Name: Wild Sheep's Fur

Description: Fur and wool that can be processed into various products.

**********

Name: Wild Sheep's Meat

Description: A Wild sheep meat. common named lamb. It has a peculiar smell, but it is delicious.

**********

Even in such a forest, at the initial rank low level the wild sheep that symbolizes encounter = death appeared, but i'am equivalent to a normal rank Lv50.
With one swing of the sword, I cut off the head, drained the blood, and then used the normal skill "Dismantle'' learned at level 1 of the normal rank occupation "Hunter'', and dismatled it with wind magic and a sword, I got it's meat, horns, and fur.
 
In the middle of dismantling it, several goblins were lured by the smell of blood, but they were all turned to ash leaving just but one ear.
I also took one ear before entering the forest, but this is to submit it to the adventurer's guild. The adventurer's guild mainly has two types of quests, the "request"type and the "permanent" type.

"Request" type are requests from the country or individuals, and "permanent" type are to subdue monsters that are considered dangerous in the surrounding area.

"Request" type has a high degree of importance and a high reward and difficulty, but "permanent" type  reward is cheap, but you can get instant money if you just submit the necessary parts of the monster.

The goblin part is the "right ear" and the Wild Sheep part is the tip of the "horn". The root of the horn is something that can be used as material, so it don't get treated as proof. but you can get extra money if you sell it together.

“…Even if i beat this much monsters, the level won’t go up, after all, it's the highest class job, so the necessary experience points are probably ridiculous"

After entering the forest, I defeated 11 goblins and 1 wild sheep. If I remember correctly 7 or 8 goblins should be worth for a wild sheep.

Moreover, even a Legend rank occupation should have accumulated enough experience points to reach Level 2 with a single Wild Sheep.
The Grandmaster are clearly stronger than Legendary rank occupation. The required experience value is also appropriately high.
I don't know how much it will be needed yet, but it may take long time.

And I've encountered quite a few goblins, but there are 8 of them before the Wild Sheep battle. After it was 3 of them.

They must have come to me because of my good smell. It's like a moth to a light.
……They won't come near me after "dismantling'', right?

"Hmm? Maybe i smells a bit? i like that me too, but I still prefer the smell of sweat to the smell of blood. Besides, I'm going to the city after this, so I need to clean it up a bit."

I felt like the smell of goblins and blood was clinging to me, so I decided to wash my body.
Making hot water with fire and water magic, i hold my breath and let it cover my whole body. Then, I used water and wind magic to shake my whole body like a washing machine. And at last i throw off the liquid around me with the power of water magic.

"Buha! Using magic is quite hard while holding my breath... and in addition..."

Because the skill level is still 10, the hot water is lukewarm, the shake is loose, my body is still soaked.

The cute me dripping water... it's worth seeing!...a luxury inn is an urgent need. I also wanted some soap.

For the time being, as much i can operate, i push off the humidity. Especially the from the underwear. 
I tried to dry it with fire and wind magic like a hair dryer, but it turned out to be just a warm wind. 

"Sigh, I want to raise my level quickly. And I want to be able rise the level of magic that i use... Huh?"

It's was a depressing  situation, but i found the most lucrative item in the forest.

**********

Name: Emerald Snake cast-off skin

Description: The cast-off skin of the demonic beast Emerald Snake. It is very rare and is used as an amulet to increase money. It is said to be more effective when used in wallets.

**********

"Hooray!"

Having passed through the forest many times, I have a rough idea of ​​where the cast-off skins are.
It was easy to find, but find a rare item still causes a happy felling.

The collection point is the placewhere is only one isolated large tree, and if there are bushes around it, it is often found inside.

The Emerald Snake is a large snake with a total length of 3 to 5 meters, but it has a calm temperament and only eats nuts and mana. It lives in a large trees and comes down to the ground only once a month, but each time it molts.

Even if you don't hunt it, it's a good child who will give you a cast-off skin once a month. I normally don't use this cast-off skin because it's not my hobby! but i think the Emerald Snake's eyes are so cute. 

Look, it's like this...

"kyuru"

"Oh, how cute"

Before I knew it's was right in front of me. And it was really big and cute.
When I reach out my hand, it put it's head in my palm and started to purr…… After all, it’s cute!.
Even so, I wonder if normally it was so friendly...?

"Kururu"

"kyuru"

"Kururu"

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by many Emerald Snakes. they starts roll on my hand and rubs their bodies against my face and body. they are soo cute!

I've been caught off guard many times, but i can't notice them with my combat class abilities because they don't have any hostility.
In the first place, since the level is low, the search type of skills are still too low level to be usable.

"You guys, you all eat mana, right? If so, I'll give you this."

I created volleyball-sized ball of water made charged with mana "Magic Water" and approached to their faces. Then they started drinking it with great momentum.

They took in the magic water with great speed, and as soon as they drank it, their body started to glow, The skin on the surface peels off with a ripping sond, Yes, all of then started shed their skin instantly.

I've never seen them shed their skin in a game, so I'm excited!

I wonder if i also look cute if i took off my clothes while shining? it's depends on the equipment. Let's try it sometime.

Come to think of it, does molting occour when they consume too much mana?  If they do it too much, they are going to damage their body. Shedding skin seems to also use physical strength...

"Kyurukyuru!"

"Kyururu!"

"Kururu!"

Well, it seems like they are happy, so it good for them?

 ……hm? are you giving me this?

"Thank you, I will take it."

They pushed the fresh cast-off onto me, so I decided to take them without hesitation. why the skin looks somehow shining?

When everything was stored in the magic bag, the capacity limit was approaching. It's around the time to return.

"See you later~"

I said goodbye to them who looked reluctant, i quickly returned to the way I came. If I stay too long, I'll be so engrossed in gathering that the sun will set.

With swollen magic bag. I was looking forward to seeing how much money it will sell for.

[... Oh, the me who is dazzled by money is also cute.]
