I Can Speak with Animals and Demons - Chapter 33.2

Chapter 33.2

There are plenty of collecting quests, such as “My daughter has fallen ill and needs healing leaves” .

The quest to collect golden nuts is very rewarding . This may mean that it is harder to find or there are dangerous monsters around .

Although there are few monsters near this city, you can encounter them as soon as you enter the forest . Just because you are on a gathering request doesn’t mean you won’t encounter monsters or ferocious animals .

Well, I think there are few in shallow places, but I do not want to meet strange people .

I memorise the details of this gathering request .

Apparently gathering quests will be rewarded for bringing materials to the guild later .

“… Okay, let’s go to gather some!”

I peel off the piece of paper and take it to the reception .

“Hey, I’m looking for some golden nuts . Can you guide me?”

The bird answers as I politely bow .

『Oh!? You again? I’m busy now . Don’t talk to me casually . 』

How are you busy! No matter how hou look at it, you’re just resting your wings on a tree branch!

I glanced at the bird, but it only looks far away .

The reason I ask this bird in particular is because golden nuts are enjoyed by this yellow bird, Honeybird .

It’s no surprise that the bird knows where the trees that grow golden nuts are .

So, I’m bowing my head… That’s right .

I don’t know if it works for the birds here, but I’ll try one of my trump cards .

“Oops, I brought mochi white bread to this place . ”

『Place it on the floor immediately and raise your hands! Turn around!』

A bird that sees red by looking at my high white bread . Its yellow wings spread out loudly .

Why do I have to raise my hands?

While questionning in my heart, I follow obediently .

Then strange gazes are directed at me from the people walking on the road .

That’s right, there is a man who suddenly raises his hands, even from the other end of the road . I’d think it’s strange too .

The bird, that flutters slowly and descends, approaches the white bread carefully placed on the floor .

『… Okay, don’t move… Hmm, this softness and elasticity . The scent of wheat spreads as soon as you put it in your mouth! … It’s white bread . It is incomparable with the breadcrumbs scattered by the “Goddess’ Blessing” shop in the east . Where is it from?』

I didn’t know that the bird had those tastes .

He seems to like white bread .

“A bakery located in a luxurious shopping district in the west . White bread sold at “Golden Earth” . ”

『Well, that’s a high-end shopping street, and we’re approached violently . Frequently, shopkeepers and guards will interfere with us . 』

The bird says in a regretful voice, contrary to me, who can afford to smile .

Well, it’s not good if birds come to the high-end shopping district, so everyone will drive them away . Because they handle food there .

“You can eat white bread every time you sign with me okay?”

『All right! I’m tired of eating golden nuts . What kind of thing is that anyway? Isn’t white bread better?』

“Can you guide me now?”

『Do not worry . In any case, I’ll cooperate with a human that can talk to me . 』

What are you talking about . You are not a big shot . You’re just a honeybird in town . There’s no need to be emotionnal about it .

“Well then can we go?”
『Wait please! At least after finishing this white bread!』
