I spent the next few days leaving the village and killing the monsters, which looked like raccoons mixed with humans.
What was shocking was the rate at which they re-appeared; even killing a hundred didn't change their lifestyle, as another hundred would be back two days later.
"Aki~ what are the plans for the future?" Rena asked while we took a break, eating some soft, honied apples with Yuzu and Lisa.
"Master, although our strength is growing, the forest seems to be a very low tier in the best kingdom, and Lady Mari said we will soon hit a limit for our growth here."
"Well... true, but I was waiting for everyone to be prepared. The village is almost ready. Mari plans to send out several parties to train as adventurers, so I was waiting for them."
I was sitting on a large rock with Shiori, who was eating fried fish on my shoulder.
