Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Hans awkwardly cheered for other members' complete recovery in a quivering tone.
After a while, he scratches his cheek and makes a pitiful expression.
"But what should we do, Leader? I also have an important thing to do, so I don't think I'll be able to attend this group assignment"
"What?"
"My grandfather's ex-lover had passed away. I think I should attend there and give my condolences right now. I'm so sorry!"
He poured out all he wanted to say quickly and began to run back down the road where he came from. He ran so fast before I could catch him.
And then he said looking back for a moment.
"Ah! Please take my name off the assignment! I'm sorry I couldn't be with you!"
I stood blankly for a long time, for a ridiculous thing that has disappeared.
Hey! Your grandpa's ex-lover was just a stranger to you!
I waited another ten minutes, but in the end, the talking potato girl didn't come.
I expected that the group assignment would be tough. But I didn't think that all three of them were so troublesome.
I looked up at the sky with a dark expression on my face. Whether it's a sign of my future or representing my feelings, both seem cumbersome.

Yes, life was all about living alone for yourself.
I thought it would be better to finish the assignment alone and remove their names when submitting them.
I started climbing the mountain half-despaired.
In the beginning, the road was well laid out because there were a lot of people who went back and forth on this path.
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I climbed a mountain to dig medicinal herbs.
In the past, I used to come out often to dig herbs with my mom.
After I started living in my aunt's house, I could only touch the herbs I bought with money because my aunt dried them, saying they were dangerous.
Still, she gave me most of the herbs I wanted
Both my aunt and my uncle were good people.
They tend to over-pack my bag with things, but still, they treated me like their own child.
If I had lost my parents earlier, I would've called them Mom and Dad.
They actually tried to put me in their family register.
Eventually, it was canceled due to various circumstances.
As I climbed the mountain thinking about random things, I was already in the middle of the mountain. Thanks to a signage post with a big warning that I was able to know that I'm halfway from the ground.
A warning message was written on the flowered signage, it says to be careful when entering the area because it's a monster hunting area.
Starting with the signage post, there were barbed-wire fences that controlled the access in the area.
I gave the signage post a rough glance and went into it.
Most of the herbs that could be used in the first place grow from mana as nutrients.
The monster habitat has a high density of mana in the air, so many good herbs would've grown.
Therefore, to get a good score, I must enter the monster-hunting area.
Even though it was an assignment that could be done alone, it must have been that reason for Professor George to make it as a group assignment.
As soon as I went into the barbed wire-covered area, I heard the sound of leaves being stepped on from somewhere.
"Was that blabber girl?"
(N: - means word of mouth /she refers to potato girl as chatty/blabber)
I looked around, but there was no one. It seemed like it was a small mountain animal.
I was looking forward to it because I was wondering if the potato girl came late.
Blabber, by the way, was a very catchy nickname for the potato girl.
From now on, you are a blabber!
After making that nickname in my mind, I started looking for medicinal herbs in earnest.
From now on, I must concentrate. To distinguish herbs in this place where only green was visible.
"I don't know if I could find even one right herb."
In fact, I couldn't find a decent herb in such a large area.
However, the reason I said that was to find medicinal herbs more easily.
The secret recipe for destruction.
Namely, the secret to the snout of ruin.
Sure enough, as soon as I uttered medicinal herbs, I could see the herbs I had been looking for since a long time ago as if I had put an exploration spell on my eyes.
"No, that's the Dao Tranto plant!"
My eyes turned to it and I started digging Dao Tranto with an excited face.
This herb was rare, but it had no particular use, so it was often treated as a street weed.
A herb that no one wants to buy or sell.
But I was able to transform Dao Tranto into something great with the formula I developed.
It's a sweat suppressant.
For reference, the area where I used a sweat suppressant was there'.
Everyone would be able to sympathize.
The part that bothers me the most on a hot summer day.
The place where the flesh and the skin come into contact with each other and release a lot of sweat.
On days when I wear gray clothes, the only place that looks dark, that it steals everyone's attention.
Thats right.
Oh my gosh! No one has thought of any other part that starts with "A".
(N: ' was used which means Armpit' )
I carefully dug the medicinal herbs so that they wouldn't get damaged, and then I grabbed them and looked at them lovingly for a long time.
I came up here to meet this lovely thing.
Otherwise, I don't know how difficult it was to have this.
There's no demand, and there's no supply, so I couldn't get it no matter how hard I tried.
