Inside the Storage Room
Forest of Gana. In the storage room of the house that was carved from the cliff, Eliaria, two maids, and four escorts were helping Ryoma pack for their departure tomorrow.
“Master Ryoma. There is a large number of garments, what do you wish to do about them?”
“Some are in a state beyond repair, would you like to use them as spare rags?”
They’ve really been worn down beyond use... I guess they can be thrown, Ryoma thought.
“...Feed them to the slimes.”
“Understood. Then I’ll place them with the other items for disposal.”
“Please.”
“There’s so much stuff here, huh. Is this really all from bandits?”
Hughes looked at the various bags piled in the storage room and asked. The number of bags at the end of his gaze far surpassed the odd ten or twenty.
“It was over three years.”
“Are bandits really so frequent here that you could gather this much?”
“...Probably, because of the water nearby.”
“The convenient camping location must be one reason. And it’s well known around here that this forest is comparatively safe. While no one would normally venture this far without reason, if it were bandits trying to avoid attention, then...”
“They may prefer to choose this route.”
“So that’s why there’s so many items...”
“Hmm... I’m more surprised that Ryoma defeated this many bandits...”
“Was mostly... ambush. Have hidden exit in house.”
“No, but even still.”
“Camil. That doesn’t matter anymore. No matter the method, Ryoma really defeated them and survived until now. What’s more important right now is to keep your hands moving, everyone!”
“I understand. ...But there really is a lot of stuff...”
“I try not to waste... the things I hunt...”
Like he said, Ryoma didn’t throw away anything from the bandits he defeated, instead abandoning them in the storage room. Even the leather bags he had no use for he would try to feed to his slimes if possible.
“Indeed, that is most important.”
At those words, Jill ruffled Ryoma’s head once before returning to his work with everyone else.
Furthermore, it should be noted that despite the volume of belongings implying a large number of bandits had been defeated, no one had noticed that there wasn’t even a single grave...
