He wandered around and caught sight of the bamboo growing faintly in the distance.
Wouldn't bamboo shoots grow abundantly after the rain?
With nothing else to do, Kim Haru decided to go looking for bamboo shoots. He rather enjoyed eating them. On his way past the toolshed, he thought for a moment and then tossed both an axe and a hoe into his system backpack to take along.
You couldn't just pull bamboo shoots from the ground without effort, so a hoe was essential. As for the axe, Kim Haru figured he could cut down a few bamboo stalks to make baskets or containers.
Before heading into the bamboo forest, Kim Haru made sure to tuck his sleeves and pants securely. He didn't want to return later and find out that some bugs had crawled into his clothes without him noticing.
The bamboo forest wasn't far from the wooden cabin. It only took Kim Haru five minutes to reach it.
As soon as he stepped into the forest, a chill washed over him.
