"By the way, Alan, why did you become a slave?"

"I couldn't pay the taxes, so I was sold."

"Ah, like Jike, Jike was also sold by his parents, and he was the guy with the bow and arrow."

"Oh, yes......"

"yes, I was sold by my parents, it's too cruel..."

Alan sighed, although he felt that it was excessive, but it seemed that the taxes in this world should not be reduced or something, and he didn't have the memory of his parents in this world, so he didn't have anything special to think about now.

"So how did you become a thief, Richie?" Alan asked, glancing at Richie, who had turned his head from time to time to look at him who hadn't escaped.

"I'm ..................."

Then Richie tells his story, he was a farmer's child, but his parents died of illness when he was very young, so he fled to that part of the forest and was picked up by the thieves, and then became a member of the thieves. However, Rich didn't say anything about the reason for his escape, but Alan guessed that he must have stolen something, and if life was good, who would want to run away? But there is no way around it.

"By the way, do you have woodcutters?" Alan asked, as he walked away, looking at Richie.

"How can there be, it's just a group of half-people here, if it's a powerful person, it's impossible to become a thief."

"Oh, I see." Alan nodded, figuring out a little bit of the situation.

"I have a good mind, and I think even if I go to be an adventurer, it's okay."

Alan shook his head and didn't speak, even if he had strength, so what, did he want to steal or kill people to become the person on the wanted list? Don't think about it.

"Here." Richie finished and jumped off.

Alan looks like it's more of a stream than a river, and it's a big slope from here, and the cart obviously can't get down to get water from below, so it might be a bit of a hassle to pick it up.

"Well, it's all over, you know the way, right? You'll start fetching water by yourself tomorrow. ”

"What?"

"You're a slave, and the newcomer has to understand the rules of the newcomer, don't you understand?"

Although Alan wanted to protest, but looking at the weapon on Richie's waist, he still gave up, he was too weak, and he could only continue to endure until he had no strength.

On the way back, he saw the cat's fruit and bread mushrooms, and he would collect them.

"You're amazing, I didn't even know there were mushrooms around here." Richie looked at the mushroom in Alan's hand and complimented enviously.

Alan chuckled, he didn't even know the thieves on his own territory, it seems that if there is no proficiency system, it should be impossible to perceive the structure of the mushroom's existence.

"That's Allen, what's the name of this mushroom?" Richie stared at the mushroom in Alan's hand suspiciously, and Alan pondered for a few seconds, this guy didn't even know the name, it seemed that he really didn't know these things.

"This is bread mushrooms, the big ones are four or five meters in size, and they are like this, they are very bitter and cannot be eaten, and they must be roasted before they can be eaten."

"Wow, is it that big?"

"Yes."

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've eaten mushroom soup!"

Richie looked very happy, Alan shook his head, if it was just bread mushrooms, it was easy to tell, as for poisonous mushrooms, tell him that he didn't seem to remember either, it looked silly, anyway, he didn't know him well, so he didn't have to be responsible, so don't be nosy.

Alan and the others returned to the cave, and he was shocked by the extent of it.

"Haha, Alan, why are you so timid, this is light moss, don't be afraid." Richie explained to Alan with a grin.

Alan looked closely, and the cave was full of light moss glowing with a slight white light, although he didn't know why, but he seemed to have heard the white things on his body glow.

The road split into two branches, and Alan followed Richie to the left, where there was a wide space in which the thieves spread mats on the ground and wooden chests instead of chairs. Hanging above the head is a wooden pillar with rows of lanterns hanging from it, which looks like it has an incandescent brightness of 60W.

"I'm back." Richie thought about the thief head and said hello.

"Ah, he's back, Richie, and you'll continue to fetch water with him from tomorrow." The thief looked at Richie and said.

"What? Why? This guy can do it alone. Richie retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Don't say that, this guy just came, you can take care of him."

"Okay....."

"So be it, ah, Lim you're back, how's it going, what about the fish?" The thief's head suddenly looked behind Allen.

“！！！！”

Alan turned his head to look, stunned for a moment, he rubbed his eyes, and finally realized that what was in front of him seemed to be real.

What a beautiful girl! No, it's supposed to be a cat!

Beautiful red hair, tail wagging behind him, golden eyes, and a delicate little face are so cute............

To be honest, Eren is a little scared now and won't be eaten, right? Even if a cat likes to scratch or something, and such a big cat..............

Then he looked closely, his hands and face were the same as those of a human, not a meat ball or something, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked, there was no long hair on his body, and he was dressed in cloth like a human, with a cool belt around his waist and a shovel, and he looked a cute child with a sense of innocence?

"Huh, that guy?" The cat girl known as Limu sets her sights on Alan.

"Oh, this is today's trophy."

Then the thieves told Alan about him, but Ellen, who had become a slave by them, was very happy to eat and told them his name out loud.

"Haha, that's a shame, but I caught a lot of fish today, so today's dinner is down." Lim wagged his tail and glanced at Alan and said to the thief's head.

"Yes, there are cat fruits and mushrooms, today is really heroic!"

Then the thieves built a bonfire and began to prepare for cooking. The fish was roasted directly on the branches, and the mushrooms were not as good as Allen's medical treatment, and they were chopped with a kitchen knife, and the messy shape was boiled and eaten with the jerky..........

"Alright, newcomer, let's go to bed today, here."

Alan was stunned, is he one of the thieves now? But this one is probably more comfortable than a slave.

"The bed over there is empty, where to sleep."

"Oh, okay."

Alan walked over and looked at it, although it was like a carpenter on Sunday with a board to sleep on, but it was much better than them, because there was a blanket, and when I opened it, there was indeed straw under the sheets...

Cotton, feathers......... No, go to sleep.

Thinking so, Alan closed his eyes and fell asleep.
